Star Citizen is a highly controversial game that's commanded much debate and discussion. Having raised over $500m, people understandably high expectations, though many have never played the game themselves. Well, I decided to try it for myself and, I have to say, I've been extremely impressed thus far.

Played Star Citizen for around a year now. One of the best interactions I had was at a space station leaving my ship and taking the elevator. During my trip to the lobby, I was bored and pressed every button in the elevator. When I left the elevator, I passed another player heading to the elevators. Next line in chat was "Who pressed all the buttons in the elevator?" Some of the best laughs I've had in the game.
There is nothing like seeing swearing in chat when someone realizes what happened
🤣Now that is funny!
*sigh* that might have been me you are referring to. I was stuck in an elevator after someone pressed all the buttons and complained in chat. :P
This is not a playable game. It is an alpha only and a demo to boot. LOL
The fact you were so bored that you did it kinda puts me off as it suggests all they have done is add more ships and no interaction based content still . Although I can imagine that being hilarious, I’m just sick of wanting to play this game , downloading again to find out all I can really do is farm to get ships and explore a landscape with nothing in it , I remember the first trailer , the one with the giant tremors like worm .. man that got me so hyped … over 10 years later ,, not even a damn cow in sight bro lmao . Hey if you can make star citizen fun , show me bro I want to like this game so much , even purchased a HOTAS flight system ect but just got so sick of the boredom. Reply to me here if you wanna squad up some time and I’ll drop my tag
Just pausing here at 10:34 to express something. I’ve been playing for a little over a year now, and I’d just like to say that when I was new, on my third day of playing I got stranded on a planet. I asked for help in the chat, and within ten minutes someone was there to pick me up and fly me to the nearest station. He ended up showing me the ropes, and not long after that I joined an organization that I still game with. In short, this game has the most welcoming community I’ve ever experienced in gaming. Almost all of my interactions have been positive.
I second this. Friend and I had a glitch where a turret shot and destroyed our ships through a hill (or we parked poorly, one of the two) and we asked in chat if someone would pick us up. Some madman was there within minutes and landed under fire to pick the two of us up and fly us to the nearest station in orbit. Hope he’s doing well
Yep, that's immediately what I wanted to say at that part as well. We are always ready to help people if they ask in global chat. In my years playing SC, I never once saw a message that didn't get the poster help.
I was also coming here to say that ahah
The community in game is amazing (well 90% of it at least), if you ask for help in chat honestly I'm sure at least one person will come to you and teach you what you want to learn.
I pause the video so I'm not sure he will talk about it but on the website you can book a mentor for different aspect of the game in different languages so they can go in game with you with a mic and help you learn the basics or even more advenced techniques.
Agreed, found the same thing on the current free fly event. Lost my jumpsuit and helmet, asked in chat and a person was there in no time to give me a replacement.
The game really does have a healthy attitude to new players... Handy as there's no tutorial and some things aren't initially intuitive.
@@HazzM yeah, the in-game tutorials aren’t really there. That’s why they have the guide system on their website, which can be handy.
By the way, when you die, if you hit “i” on your keyboard you’ll open the local inventory space, and you’re given a free jumpsuit and helmet whenever you respawn. Not sure if you saw at all, I’m sure you tried that already… but just in case :)
If star citizen really turns out to be what they want it to be, it will be one of the greatest games of all time. It’s still very far off but I pledged 2 years ago and it has changed massive amounts since then. It’s hard not to get excited when you think “what if they get it to work perfectly”
I pledged in 2016 or 17. Happy to finally be able to enjoy gameplay. Mix of emotions but hope is in there.
The thing is, that's kinda the equivalent of looking at a all around loser basketball team saying, "well ya, what if they made every basket", lol. Don't get me wrong, I hope they get it right, but until they do, it remains pretty grifty.
@@chipsalom The stigma Scam Citizen is well deserved
It won't. Eventually the money will run out, along with the good will of the "backers" and it will all come crashing down.
If they game keeps moving forward year after year then they'll be just fine. 2017 was better than 16. 2022 was better than 21 and so on...
I think you really did hit the nail on the head with the "best played with friends" part because walking in by yourself you don't know what to do or where to go. Good honest review of it tbh.
There are tons of missions to do, and fighting space raiders, doing cargo deliveries, mining asteroids and what not. The cash he have don't come for free.
@@deepzd6839 At 31:30 he literally tells everyone that the cash was free.
Making friends is extremely easy too in the game
I'm thinking Squadron 42 will be sort of a tutorial for the game in a way
The fact that you can walk around in these ships with 20 or so people all the while having a massive fight or entering atmosphere, whilst talking about that one guy you dont like in a pool inside this ship, is just freaking amazing technically and immersion wise.
Thats when it works! this game is FULL of bugs and glitches and it will be probably for years to come!
just fancy graphics inside an empty carcass :- \
@@viarnay i dont really think so. Name one game that has mechanics like star citizen or the technicallity of it. And even if its buggy, thats just beceause this is technology thats never been in games before and they are spearheading this charge.
@@Anne_Patel yes but still, its pretty impressive!
@@evobsm2328 Space engineers goes beyond than SC, Privateer, eve online, elite dangerous, the X4 saga...
Note: Wipes are done on a "as need" bases for game development, and not as regular balancing. CIG's goal is to have as few wipes as necessary.
to add to that, they have the ability to only wipe certain elements of the game, like ingame purchases, wallets, and reputation. This could be used to wipe wallets after an exploit occurs or for balance testing, while keeping the reputation scores intact.
balancing of what? there is nothing balanced at all :D
@@steevie3668 how do you think they gonna be able to balance the game eventually without "balance testing" ?
@@Cologaan Ah right... So the in-game earnings are wiped but the real money purchases are kept for "balancing reasons". Ok sure, sounds completely legit. This information wouldnt by any chance come from the recieving end of half a billion dollar, would it? Because that would be a rather "fortunate coincidence", But lets just take what they say in good faith. I mean, who would ever just make that up in favour of that much money, right?
@@ageoflove1980 youre slow lmao. ive been playing for two years and through 3 wipes. you retain paid items linked to your account. usually when wipe happens you just re earn your rep and get back into missions. i can re earn my in game ships in a week or two. wipes arent that serious.
In honesty, one thing a lot of us fans love is the detail and architecture of the ships. Just walking through some of the luxury ships - especially the 890J - is something to be in awe of for a video game. Even better when you can get a bunch of people doing RP. I mean, it's the same reason people buy skins and cosmetics on literally every popular game that has them: we want to look cool and appreciate the detail.
As a previous Elite Dangerous player, that is exactly what sold me on SC. Especially once I learned the Elite's space legs don't have ship interiors.
@@awesome_by_default Ya, back almost 10 years ago when I first got into E:D, I wanted it to be so much more but even now I feel like it's more of an arcade game than a huge immersive space sim. SC scratches that itch for me every time
it's just corridors the most basic level design.
@@jamesbyrd3740 Aren't all buildings just corridors?
@@jamesbyrd3740 its not supposed to be "level design". They aren't designing competitive FPS maps. They're designing spaceships.
The immersion is its greatest selling point. It was already present in Wing Commander Privateer and Chris just had a much bigger vision. To me I would have been happy with a current gen version of the world of Wing Commander which may have been faster and cheaper to complete, but oh my do I still applaud the project and I keep being amazed by how good it looks and the inclusions of explorable planets the way they did is amazing as well. It's just such a shame many space sims totally forgot about immersion and focused on arcade like action which in my opinion is the biggest reason for the decline of the genre. There were some that came close but didn't have the world building to complete the package. I'm not a person that spends money in game and I'm fine earning in game credit to buy stuff, it's part of the game. That said I do hope it will get some sort of a release date as losing your progress with updates will surely not something I want to spend a lot of time on.
I like to say that is is immersion to the point of tedium, but it is tedium in a fantastic setting, so it's actually enjoyable tedium. Most of the time.
Personally my first time playing star citizen i jumped out of my ship while in quantum travel, within 10 minutes someone had already picked me up and was letting me do missions with them as a gunner to make some money. he ended up showing me the ropes and we still talk to this day!
word for word bro
Did you get your ship back?
@@F-14D_Tomcat yes! theres an insurance system in game where you can claim ships that are destroyed or lost. it takes time but with starter ships its under a minute, and you can pay a small amount of in game credits to make it faster, or in the case of the smaller starter ships instant
@@spacehvh oooooh. I thought that they had to be destroyed. That makes sense
The fact that you can even jump out of your ship in quantum travel tells me everything i need to know about this player-antagonistic never-gonna-get-outa-alpha pile of griefers. Most multiplayer games have griefers in them; Star Citizen is a game where the *game itself* intentionally griefs you. Huge nope.
I feel like the more expensive the ship that you are flying, the higher your resting heart rate should be.
naw, your game challenges just get upscaled to match.. no escape from Playing the Game
@@kobked-x I am not sure I understand this reply at all. I was just mentioning a small tweak to the game that would match how I feel when I drive something big and expensive. I don't think this kind of change seriously impacts the gameplay loop.
I have been solo mining for a year now just mining. I enjoy it. If i ever had more then a hour an a half a night i would be more involved. I always wanted a space mining simulator, and this does it for me.
Not really, with it's still in alpha you have infinite insurance, so you just have to wait longer for said ship to claim that being said I don't thing flying a 890j (luxury yacht in video) is at all stressful that thing has a shit ton of shields.
oh it is
Veteran SC players love nothing more than teaching a new player and seeing those first reactions. As a side note, the base framework for the game has been nailed in enough that they are working on tutorials for new players again. Previously tutorials were removed because every patch they became irrelevant.
ponzi scheme cultists scared of the game failing
Is the game one time purchase؟
@@FreePalestine07462 Yes.
To me star citizen looks like what I wanted when I started playing elite dangerous. In 20 years when this game is released fully its going to be incredible
And the kicker about this from my understanding from research, is that ED promised all this too. They are only recently giving you space legs after 10 years in dev. I hear its buggy as hell too.
Then they kept charging folks more money in order to keep playing their game. And recently told console folks, sorry you can't play any more.
But hey at least it says its officially "released".
Scam Citizen
@@festersmith8352 I agree, having played a few hundred hours of ED, I can safely say that ED is more a scam than SC. I bought the version which allowed to land and use a vehicle: it's really not worth it. That didn't make me want to buy the latest "space legs" update, and from what I've seen it's just as underwhelming as the update before it.
I especially like that the fact that they didn't choose to implement millions of planets like ED, since those planets are tiny and don't have any appeal because they're just clones. It just means that you never see a real player because of the size of the universe.
Once I'll be able to run SC, I'll try it, but from the videos and live streams I've seen, it already looks deeper than ED.
@@unnainconnu9098 There is a lot of false info out there on this.
Quad core processor, 16G ram, GTX 1060, SSD (80G), is the minimum recommended.
Of course the better from that, the more you can expect in performance, usually.
What are your PC specs?
And when i look at ED and see where they are in its dev stage. Plus charge you to keeo playing the updates, that to me feels like a scam more, considering what they stated when they launched their kick starter. But no is calling it that, because it had the official title of release on it.
The word release doesn't really mean anything anymore with the recent state of released games.
But logic these days...
CP 77 took what, two years after "release" to get it right, and is still lacking in many things they stated to be in it.
SC isn't lying about the state of their game. And they are trying to put way more in it than the original pitch.
And now the new hype is Star Field and how its going to beat SC.
Got my popcorn ready that show to come.
@@festersmith8352 i3 4130, 12G of ram, GTX 1050, SSD.
It worked fine with ED, but with SC...
I'm in no rush to try it since it will likely get better with time.
I had fun with ED, but its shallowness is now fully visible to me. They do what they can with the budget they have.
A little bit of competition can only get things better. SC has shown editors that there's a demand for a space sim.
Thank you for being so honest with our game here Luke, it's very much appreciated. Though, to be more honest here, as a developer with 10 years behind me, 500 million is a lot of money.. true.. but that's 500 million over the course of 10 years that is paying for a team of 800+ people working across multiple studios. There's so much more here than people are willing to listen to and I really appreciate someone being honest.
It's also 2 games
So $250 million ea, roughly speaking
@@uncannyvalley2350 Truth
What is being a developer like? I am an aspiring novelist who wants to work on a book soon, so I wouldn't know
Agreed. Lots of money doesn't mean it will get done in 3 weeks. So much coordination between all those studio's. Hard to imagine.
Stop creating cringe tiktok roleplayers please
Video games for me r always an escape from reality. And this game captures that idea better than pretty much every other game I’ve ever played. Sure it’s not as polished as tripple a games that are actually out , but it has the most potential of any video game ever created. I’ve literally played the game for a week and am already in love
More potential than Minecraft or Dwarf Fortress? Nah.
@@chubbyanemone696 bruh dwarf fortress still looks like a pixelated
Child literally just flexed about Minecraft
Unreal 😂
@@AnymMusic the simplistic graphic style of dwarf fortress allows it to be so complex.
How can it be an escape from reality when the game constantly bugs out? To me, that is the definition of immersion breaking.
Honestly, Star Citizen is like 3 years late of when it should've been this playable, but CIG are clearly delivering a very real product to it's backers, and it has a lot of potential to become an incredible game. I'm still too turned off by the game's performance to actually play it, but if they can continue to improve performance, or I upgrade my rig, I'd be interested in jumping into the game.
nice copium for a scam :D
@@vadimnimarov8796 Is it a scam if we are having fun like in no other game? Watch "BedBananas - War for Jumptown", it's epic !
@@vadimnimarov8796 "Scam" is a little harsh. More like scope creep to the point where it is now impossible to deliver everything.... but at least there is an actual game there.
@@cabritsanscorgamingIt doesn't matter if you are having fun or not.
I would give up the hope, there is too many compounding glitches that dont get fixed before they add more onto them for them to find to fix. too many threads of game breaking issues that have existed for years with no fix. I would say this game will die before it ever gets release, its taking so long that others will make better games with better tech and story. people need to stop backing this, I loved the concept until I played it today, very disappointing. to the point where I am actively against the game now for all the hype and lack of delivery. most of what 'looks good' is just aesthetics. without a proper function this game is just a failed dream. not to say that it cant provide some fun but its not the kind of fun I can endorse... in fact I am really against game companies that make big promises and sell out in early access, most never get completed to the scope they ever promised so its best to not support that behavior or else other will repeat it.
When I play Star Citizen, to me it's more of an experience rather than a game, the immersion is insane, so are the bugs.
its getting better ;) And you are right about the experience
NPC standing in chairs instead of sitting, your ship takes off but you get ejected into space, friends not synced, unable to complete missions. If you want to buy into bugs then this is the game you want.
Sadly it doesn't support Virtual Reality. Virtual Reality is today the most immersive way because without VR you are just watching a 2D monitor screen, but with VR you are watching the entire game from inside them, meaning that in VR you will see the ship completely around you, in REAL LIFE - SIZE scale, and glorious 3D as you see in real life 3D with both of your eyes.
Imagine watching not only your ship but also planets and stars in massive real life scale, well.. that is insane immersion, only with VR.
@@DespaceMan ooook Elon :)
@@DespaceMan sounds like 2 year ago star citizen. But true!
You can land on the city planet; (Arccorp) you just have to land on specific buildings that have a landing pad. Those landing pads are all around at the different landing zones. However, the only place that currently has any content is Area 18.
Also, very few rooftop pads are big enough for an 890, so that's another consideration.
@@jenathan76 thats where the hanger for a smaller ship comes in
@@jenathan76 who in a 890 is going to arccorp lol other than the folks that spawn threre
@@jenathan76 didn't they park it on two different landing pads in the 890 trailer? If you're that rich and have a supercomputer to actually land that monster there, you can just commandeer several buildings' landing pads. Use it as a skybridge lol
@@jenathan76 verry few anything is big enoegh for an 890j
"No loading screen" is an old trend, you might lost tracking it, but multiplayer sci-fi games like No Man's Sky, Empyrion - Galactic Survival, Osiris - New Dawn as far as I know, works without loading screens since years now, and in case of the last two, development started by a few people, if not by just one.
Empyrion uses teleportation to transport people from point A to point B, No man's sky have a "loading" animation while moving between system, also they are really smaller.
@@jana.200In SC you can't move from stenton, so you don't know how it will happen, but probably you will see a classic spacejump animation that cover the loading of the new area. Systems are smaller in NMS, but the planets are full of live and you can build on them, the others players can do the same and you can visit theyr crations. Anyway, NMS an SC are two very different kind of games, I don't think a direct comparison is right
I've been a player for 4 years now and I'm extremely happy with the money and time I've spent on this game. It's come along so far from when I 1st started playing!

@@smoothyodaproductions4373unfortunately you’re never gonna get past the brick wall of ignorance these people have built up for themselves in their heads. They see 500 million dollars and go “lot of money big scam durrr” not realizing its 500 million for 2 games Star Citizen and Squadron 42 for 10 years of development. Has development been mismanaged? Yeah, in some ways it has but there is NO other game delivering what CIG is trying to accomplish, if you think Starfield is close then you either are coping or you only get your opinions from reddit and RUclips comments. CIGs technology is built from scratch and they are pushing major boundaries in what is even possible in a video game.
If people formed their own opinion about the game then thats fine but my issue is most of these NPCs aren’t just indifferent to this game they actively hate it and call it Scam Citizen while not knowing you dont have to spend real world money to buy ships which once again tells me these people only have a hate boner not because they actually have a position on whether the game is good enough through experience they just get all their information from the “Is Star Citizen a scam” RUclips comments sections.
Fun fact: You can request take off soon after you call your ship into the hangar. That way, you can just hop into your ship and do the whole start up thing all the while the bay doors are open.
never even considered that haha
Just careful with that, because if you are not in a safe location, like GrimHex, you expose your ship to pirates and griefers
@@Rummyson to add to that, I'd say that the only "safe" areas would be planetary landing zones. Even in major spaceports people can just EVA into your hangar no problem.
People can land in your hanger on the planet as well. Please practice safety because that’s what SC is all about. You don’t know what danger is going to happen.
Yes please call ATC before your ship is ready. Makes it easy foe my to park my ship on yours and clear my 1 or 2 CS.
Instead of using mobiglass to open hangar doors, you can more easily hit the comms button in the ships cockpit right on the MFD screen. Look at 12:02, the first ship screen on the far left, top of the screen says "Port Tressler", click the button that looks like a wifi icon.
They recently added a hotkey setting for ATC in the keybinds. You have to set it though.
One problem with using the MFD screen is that the keys are directly affected by your keyboard, so when you start typing in the chat box, you'll find your character constantly calling the first contact on the menu.
@@HintsV2 incorrect. while typing in chat none of your keys do anything except type in chat. and there is a keybind for this.
@@aeoteroa818 I think the key is spacebar, since it happens to me all the time when I use the MFD that way. If I don't select anything on the menu, nothing happens.
or bind it it to a key or button
It'd be really cool if a massive ship like that can be used as some sort of base for a group. Its big enough for it.
It kinda can. You can log out in ships which have beds, and when u log in again and the ship is in the verse at that point, u will spawn in it.
But it is buggy and ships are mostly stored away when the owner logs off. For the future, ships are planned to work as complete functional bases, but as everything "future"...
actually base-building is now on its way
I have actually joined groups to do just this. The 890 Jump has a medical bay that you can set your re-spawn point. This is only temporary because once the owner logs off, you can't re-spawn on it. But I have done this. It was very fun. I sometimes still get lost in the 890 Jump, its so big.
I don't know what will happen with 3.18, but I haven't had my balance wiped since last year. :)
You can land appropriately sized ships on buildings with landing pads in cities.
The game uses Cry Engine with a lot of very custom plugins and stuff, and starting with 3.18, a custom rendering engine that will be fully implemented slowly. Great stuff!
Why would a solo player buy a ship meant for corporations and governments that can't even be flown solo? The big ships also require full crews to be manned properly, it just doesn't make any sense and the price reflects this. These ships aren't marketed for solo players and aren't expected to be owned or manned by individuals. I know that looking at it as a game it hurts, but SC isn't a game, it's a life simulator. As a real universe it makes sense both financially and just isn't practical.
As for buying ships with real money, they're donation packages that get you ships. It's the same as Patreon. I think CIG said just as much somewhere a few years ago but I don't remember now. That's how I see it anyway. C.I.G calls them 'pledges' and I don't think of them any other way. I decided to donate to development and got an Avenger Titan. I was happy and preferred my starting ship, but I can always buy or rent one of those if I want to in Lorville. I've never understood the attraction of constantly throwing money at the game for a ship you'll either never fly or will spend most of its time in your inventory, but it's having it in your inventory that counts, right? In my three odd years of playing SC the same amount of money as people spent for a copy of Fallout: 76 has gone on my account.
The amount of issues people have with the game that aren't actually issues and are intentional design is frankly insane.
Star Citizen, outside of being a 'game', at least in this iteration.. is a perfect setting for a space role playing adventure.
One thing I'd like to add about the super expensive, massive ships like the Carrack and 890 Jump (the super yacht featured): these are intended to be *end-game* ships. Essentially, the aim is that these ships will require multiple crew members to run effectively, so you'll need either hired NPCs or additional players, and that they'll be used for specific jobs that you enjoy doing in-game. For example, the 890J is supposed to be for either shuttling VIP guests across space, or running a kind of cruise ship--it's not really intended to be run and used by a solo-player. That's also why these big ships have engineering areas--the goal is to have roles like engineers on your crew who work in those areas to keep the ship maintained and functional.
Lastly, the bigger the ship, the more expensive to run with fuel, insurance, crew, and maintenance. Basically, RSI is trying to make it so that players don't buy these ships as a flex, but rather as an investment into a play-style. I expect that as we get closer to the 1.0 launch, these massive ships will be owned/run by guilds that operate it together, and it won't be unrealistic to log on to be an engineer on an 890J, and that alone I think is soooo cool.
actually they arent even close to mid game ships with the current roadmap. These are tiny ships compared to whats coming.. 35M takes a few days to raise. They are not even close to "expensive" in end game credits.. Hell I'm sitting on over 90 Million after buying every other ship in the game that interests me ( over 40) that will be wiped in a few weeks.
@@CVSiN How the hell you pull that kind of bread in a few days?
@@reverendparadox7316 easy. super high end bounties with max rep and an eclipse, mining, or my fave high end weapon sales from Bunkers. certain weapons are easily sold for 250-500k a pop.
Thats the thing tho. Nobody is going to want to RP as Geordi La Forge. Many smaller types of MMO-ish games where you can have an actual crew run a ship never really took off because everyone wanted to be Captain. Good thing there is NPCs to fill this role but still, the fact you can buy your way to end game content is what made me "nope" out of ever wanting to play SC just out of principle.
@@JaymeSplendid tbh I’d def be down to RP Geordi lol, so I guess it depends on the player. Also, you can’t /really/ buy your way to end-game content-like I said in my original comment, the larger ships need a lot of resources to run, and while you could buy money in the game, it’s not at all worth it (like outlined in the video) because the cost just doesn’t make sense.
It's just jaw-dropping, in my opinion. I don't have a rig powerfull enough to run it, but when i do this game will be the first on my list.
It's getting FSR and DLSS next patch so if it's your graphics card holding you back keep a look out for the next free fly. That said, I think performance is really good right now on my 5800X3D (game LOVES 3D Vcache AMD chips) and 6950 XT
This is a kind of game that can forever be in development phase but at a point in dev it'll gain a boost in players and more from there
I just backed it finally about 6 months ago.. I already feel like I've had my moneys worth out of it. I think it's an incredible piece of work. I multiplayer it with a couple of friends and god knows we hit bugs almost every time we play, but it's still incredible and great fun.
Bought a starter ship last year. And i would say i have gotten that amount 100 times back in great moments and beautiful sunsets 🤗 Just landed my first big ship in a snowstorm. It was gaming magic moment for me. And content is coming faster and faster now. I feel the game finally is on track.
'End game' in SC is friendship, shared experiences , and accomplishments
Although its an unfinished money pit, the amount of enjoyment I got out of the standard $45 entry level was pretty damn high
What the game really needs is for the ingame voice comms to work properly, that way even if you are playing alone you can join or ask in chat to be part of a crew or a crew to join you to have fun, and not to hassle too much with new discord channels or just be relying on text chat.
It definitely appeals to a very particular group of players. It's not loaded with nonstop action, there isn't a real "end game", it can be very tedious, and you could spend a long time just trying to get from one end of a space station to the other, but it is incredibly immersive, beautiful, and fun once you get the ball rolling.
Sounds like Eve. Only Eve actually launched. I do hope the game does launch, as it looks very cool and it has the potential to be everything I want in a game. But, honestly, release something stable and not Alpha already, RSI.
@@johndoucette6085 Eve and CCP sucks , they killed Dust 514 and never came out with its replacement. I know Eve has a super dedicated community so , I can't crap on them but CCP sucks.
“One end of a space station to another”? When do you ever do that? There are at most 3 ‘locations’ on each space station: Galleria, Cargo, and Refinery. All stations have a central elevator which takes you to each location. Port Olisar is the one exception, and people love it for that (it only has one floor/location anyways).
Idk, coming from playing Old School RuneScape to Star Citizen, I feel right at home with its supposed ‘tediousness’ haha
That being said, I mostly just do FPS combat (boots on the ground) missions - I am not a ‘flight sim enthusiast’ lol
Not loaded with "non stop action". Your playing with the wrong people then.
@@tiestofalljays I'm just sort of generalizing..if someone isn't used to the idea of having to read in-game signs and whatnot to navigate, instead of just watching their minimaps, it could take you a minute to figure out where exactly you're going.
I personally don't mind the level of immersion in Star Citizen but there's definitely a learning curve for new players.
A really cool show of scale is landing at Benny Hendge. It is on a small asteroid around Yella. And as you fly down it looks like a super small asteroid in the field but it gets bigger and bigger and then when you find it you realize how small something looked coming up to it really is not how small something actually is.
Last time i was playing with my friends we took Crusader suits and walked around with the space whale plushie recruting people to the order of the plushy. We called it the order of the plushy and i think we handed out like 100 plushies to people (after interacting with them)
Lmfao omg I want a plushy xD
I have a real plushy, does that get me in?

Last time I tried the free flight thing they did a year ago, the one thing that made me love this is how welcoming the community was.
I litteraly spent half a day with a few guys who basically told me how to do everything and it was the must fun I've had in this kind of game.
total bullshit its pvp arena griefers who shoot ur ship when its sitting in the dock community full of toxic the chat is constant curse words
@@andrewhobbs255 I mean u can't say total bullshit since it is his experience. And for what I m seeing u didn t played a lot of star citizen.
@@andrewhobbs255 i have ran into 4 people that ruin the experience in my 2000 hours
"community" doesnt a game make
Until you tell them why their favourite ship sucks.
I think another thing to mention is that ALL of the current gameplay in the game itself is only in a singular system. out of an entire universe. Star citizen is super close to opening the second system, Pyra. Once they do this and alongside server meshing (basically just being able to transition servers seamlessly) they can then effectively infinitely expand the game and open more content much faster than the original system. Arccorp for example is a procedurally generated city planet, with a single place on it's surface to explore that was hand made.
People always doubt the game, but I've been able to play to the extent of what was available since about 2016. There's nothing to doubt about if you can experience it.
The doubts are the 500 million and 11+ yrs of development. Whats it going to take for you to realize it is a scam? 15 yrs? 20 yrs? 15 yrs is only 4 yrs away now and ppl like you will still defend it lol.
I don't know how exactly to explain this, but when I play Star Citizen I don't approach it as a game, it's like I'm playing it but it's not exactly a game, for me it's just a chill experience, I don't have any friends in-game so I'm a solo dude, when I play I'm having fun not in a playing a game kinda fun, but sort of like reading a book or watching a movie kinda fun... It's a slow game, I love it.
It's like a place you inhabit
💯
Its one of the hardest things to explain - its an experience, just moving around. Want to find stuff to decorate inside your ships? - its an experience...
The worst thing anybody can do is take Star Citizen seriously or play it like a game. It’s an open world sci fi sandbox right now, and to be experienced through that lens, it can be incredible escapism, especially hanging out with some others. It’s an almost metaverse level environment, so while deeply flawed and buggy, the potential is incredible.
I do (and have) that with several open world games. I just like to roam the vaste space of whatever beautiful land devs create (rdr2 fallout 4 skyrim gta 5 etc).
Hey little nautical tidbit, if you're spending 30mill on a boat/ship, you're not the captain, you're the owner, and the captain works for you. So that's the owner's suite at the stern with the pretty view and the comfy bed. The Captain is part of the crew you hire to get you from A to B.
gotta promote yourself to captain then
@@leonudl well I suppose if you're going to spend 30mill on a ship you can do whatever you damned well please xD
how does that work for military style ships like the Hammer Head ?
@@kevintunaley5079 Ships like that can often host higher brass who are responsible for coordinating whole fleet operations rather than serving specifically in the command of that specific ship- the captain who works for the fleet officer commands the ship, the fleet officer commands all the captains.
@@TrentTheWanderer thanks
what happens in the pool area if you power down the ships artificial "gravity generator things" (as you called them)? I presume that at some point (even if its not coded yet) in the game development you would be able to turn it off or be disabled by ship damage.
A pool in a spaceship in such a game is (at least) a questionable idea... hahaha
Pausing at 10:50, I have only this to say: do people not like figuring things out themselves? I don't actively play Star Citizen because my computer can't run it, but I've done simulators before. Part of the fun for me in a technical game like this is the trial and error of figuring out how to do stuff. A lack of a tutorial or other hand-holding mechanics is cool sometimes. It's not the same genre, but I think back to Morrowind where there's no quest markers. They tell you "go to this place", and you have to talk to NPCs to get general directions and explore form there. Going into a game like Star Citizen, I'm not going to expect the game to be sreamlined for casual play. I'm gonna expect to have to learn a complicated control scheme, and the best way to do that is by doing it for yourself. That, and the keybinding menu is genuinely one of the best I've seen in any game in Star Citizen, very helpful or figuring out what buttons do what.
So am I bothered by the lack of tutorial? No. I wouldn't mind if one was in the game, but I don't think it's a huge issue. It's a genre that requires a lot of patience to get into, so if someone is completely turned off by that they probably wouldn't want to play the rest of the game anyways.
I am definitely hard coping, no don't say that.
complicated control scheme youll have to learn and figure out is fine, but if its just many controls bound to arbitrary buttons that you have to GUESS, then its just stupid
Backer since 2016. I can confirm that the direction the game has taken in the last 2 years really hypes me. They are doing really well late and IAE HYPE

This game is CPU bound. You could play with an i7-8th gen and a GTX 980 and be just fine. Keep that in mind - an GPU upgrade won’t boost performance significantly compared to a CPU upgrade.
You'd be surprised how helpful people are even if you aren't a content creator.
It’s definitely one of the most friendly communities I’ve ever met
Yea, it literally doesn't even matter if you're a content creator or not. People LOVE helping players in this game. Granted, there's some trolls too. I'm a bit guilty of that lol but even I am a dedicated guide in the Guide System who enjoys helping new and experienced players.
I think it's part of the free form gameplay format that it's had, especially in the past when there were very few things you could do. Has driven the community into being very helpful and ready to go when someone needs something.
@@JoshuaR9763 I got the game last week and just had people chastising me for even asking questions about the game in chat. Told me to fuck off go read the patch notes. This wasn't just one server either.
@@StellarisIgnis Yeah, that happens. Especially the US servers I've encountered to be a bit... different, for lack of a better word. I don't know why that is but I encourage you to give it another try. We're just days before 3.18 hits PTU waves, and there will be a complete wipe of your in-game progress when it goes live. So there's no point to grind for anything right now, and many players are salty because of that. We've also had a free-fly event period with tons of new and inexperienced players flooding the servers, and to be completely honest, this went on my nerves as well. No offense, but answering the same questions 20 times and getting trolled by idiots who are there for free and don't care to even get a starter pack was wearing me out, too.
Hang in there, spaceman, you're in for a long and bumpy ride with this project. I can tell, I've started playing in 2014 or something, and I think I've seen it all by now.
just got the game the other day, despite its bugs I'm having alot of fun flying and exploring
The cool thing is you can call comms from the ship interface without using F1, feels more immersive that way
Good on you for actually trying the game out before judging

Calling SC a scam is simply just to shit all over it, while saying false statements. I'm saying this as someone who has been very skeptical about this whole project, but i understand the difference between actual words at least.
@@fortnight5677 You invested in a development beta, no one said it would be a polished and complete game. So how is it a scam?

Npcs doing T posing in star citizen is not really a bug related to the game, but rather a bug related to desync and server lagging.
Love this video and how much you focused on explaining the beginning steps rather than editing it for cheap laughs or whatever else. Super informative. Subbed 😀😀
20:00 @Luke... One of the most amazing things to me is that while you can travel from one planet to another seamlessly without load screens... AT THE SAME TIME you can be jogging around your ship while it barrel rolls towards it's destination, as you pass by a port hole you can see space tumbling outside...
Sounds like you speak from experience xD
I'm so glad that this whole space funeral took place. I mostly play by myself or with a one friend, so experience of being able to participate in a community event with like a dozen people was very unique. It really changes your perspecitve on the game, when you see that players can make something so uniqe, dynamic, memorable and fun when they are given the tools and a world to do so. There aren't many games that allow for such experience.
Im really happy to see Luke being so positive about the game. Im not that involved into the development into the game, but Im following the game since the beginning, and Im really hoping there will be some kind of "1.0" release sometime in the future. Could you maybe give me a wild guess when, and if at all, this might happen? 2024, or later?
@@sharafbalboa3460 It's pretty hard to guess. Mainly because when certain milestones (for example Server Meshing) are reached, the development will speeed up. They are also constantly upgrading tech that they use for making things like planets and points of interest, so it can take less time. Developers also gain experience (look for example how much better the new ships are designed compared to the old ones). We don't know how fast they will be able to make other star systems in the future. 4.0 in 2023 will be a huge step forward, because of Pyro and Server Meshing and maybe then we will be able to start predicting how many years of development are left. And after the first part of SQ42 releases, I think they said that they will focuse more on Star CItizen.
So my optimistic wild guess is 5-10 years until something that can be called 1.0
@@fristek2143 damn 5-10 years still. Thanks for the thorough answer, appreciate it!

That was so cool! 😮
It went from silly goofing around to actually sober and moving.
Players have to create the content for the game to be fun INSTEAD of the game having content by itself to be fun. That "great" the game is after all this time and money put in, with terrible performance and you talk about it as something wonderful? what the fuck?
One of the best times I've ever had is when we had a multiplayer ship meetup on Daymar, then one person came in an 890J and everyone was in absolute awe. Then some bozo blew it up killing 23 people and incapacitating 12, not to mention the 56 injured, then we all scrambles the fighters we had left (Scorpius, Hortnets, Arrows, Talons, etc.) as well as a few sub-capital ships (Carracks, Hammerheads and A2/M2's) and fought them off and their numerous forces, it lasted 2 hours 13 minutes due to people dying then re-spawning and joining back in, we eventually won the war and took control of the server, was an event even star wars couldn't compete with, if persistence tech existed at that time there would be a couple hundred ship remnants left, 10's of millions in cargo not to mention salvage. Star Citizen truly is a game that cannot be rivaled by the likes of Star-field.
how did you get the data in the bottom right in the game ?
I love the level of detail on the planets & atmosphere from space, the take off & landing mechanics. Entering a planets atmosphere & exiting it. Really wish Starfield did this, I feel like it adds so much to the immersion.

How much gpu vram did the game use at most, with those ingame settings in 4k?
It's a common mistake to say they "needed" 500 million to do it. They have received 500 million to WORK WITH. That amount is purely a result of people's belief in the project and willingness to pay, knowing it's going to be a long time before we see anything like a 1.0. Further, having that much money to work with doesn't magically make things go faster. There's an upper limit to how far you can break up workload and thus how many people you can throw at a problem. One advantage here is the breadth of systems does lend it to more and larger teams, since there are so many thing to work on. There's still that limit to how many people you can throw at a problem before diminishing returns or even negative returns ("too many chefs in the kitchen").
And given they are pretty much starting the project without a studio means that they had to recruit, equip and organise a whole studio, (more than one in fact). If Rockstar had gone and built a fresh studio and hired fresh manpower for red dead 2 or something else the cost would have been way higher, but because they have already invested in the kit the costs are lower.
I mean tbf if we had theoretically 10 thousands dev th3 game should be done much faster
@@omar619kamis not so. There's only so much you can break up various tasks, and only so many people you can assign to them before they start getting in each other's way. It's more a result of poor management and feature creep than anything else, really.
@@sporkwitch I disagree if Chris Robert's where to enslave all humanity snd force 10million programmers to work om star citizen daily no weekends off no time off, with bunch of devs taking over nightshifts and overtime so the game would be being worked on 24/7 365 days a year the game would most difenetly be released sooner with more content lmao
A brief note to what was said around 20:00 , elite dangerous and no man’s sky both have game engines that let you fly between planet-sized planets with no loading screens. Star citizen just has much more detail and “realism” in, like, every regard. All three are very fun, however, SC just isn’t the only game of its kind.
I hesitate to say Elite doesn't have loading screens between planets and systems because it has a very jarring freeze transition when it loads instances between hyperspace, supercruise, glide mode, and normal space (sometimes this transition is frozen for up to 20s for me). Also, the fact that it refuses to load a star system if you fly to it manually in supercruise (without hyperspacing) kinda proves it doesn't stream content on demand but requires loading screens.
+ Kerbal Space Program
Elite dangerous jump animation is the loading screen.
@@orbitalpotato9940 right, but only between systems. We're comparing it to Star Citizen, which only has one system so far, so the comparison I was making is between the game's ability to let you seamlessly transition between space and orbital flight, or in the words of OP, it lets you fly between planet-sized planets with no loading screens :)
@RBCO it won't have loading screens, it will instead use streaming tech and stream area in and out as needed

I do wish the scope was a bit smaller so they could focus on finishing the game instead of this perpetual alpha state but this is a once in a generation type of game. When it's done its going to be something REALLY special.
The best thing about Star Citizen is you download it, play it, if you don't like where things are you just uninstall it, and reinstall it in six months, and every time it's a new game. Keep doing this until it becomes the game you want to play, then don't stop playing.
I love this game. Been playing since 2017. Many people buy all the ships, but I got a couple ships based on the gameplay loops I want to do when they come into the game (hacking/datarunning) and I don't need to spend any more.

I love the "I tried..." and suddenly there's a lot of ships in your hangar.
Star Citizen is unlike any other game out there, or will be. No one would ever make a game like this. So, they did. Other games have come, blossomed, faded and died while this continues to grow. It's less a game and more a Space Life Simulator. Down to the granular details of having to manage food. Pausing to stop for a bite to eat becomes emergent gameplay. They're building an amazing game that wont be ready for a long time. While they're doing that, they are letting us play around with what they've got so far, and they listen to the backers. I don't think you'll find any dev group as open. Especially when they change their mind. I love hearing the details of the battle the developers make against obstacles. I love hearing about the new tools they're developing. I like hearing how the sausage is made; warts and all. I want developers I can cheer for. I feel like I can with these. Enough so, I don't mind throwing money at them to help support them. I've bought into the dream. So many times we've been told how a game is amazing, groundbreaking. We've seen so many scams. It becomes almost impossible to believe someone is _actually_ doing something like this. Truely, you have to see for yourself.
The community is awesome. Folks will often throw you money when a bug eats your life savings, or when you dream and drool for a new Prospector to start your mining career. EVERYONE loves loaning out their ships, showing off their beloved babies. There's always someone willing to show you around, offer a hand at something, or, sadly, have disparaging things to say about one's mother. Still, these are folks who also believe in the dream. And, they welcome anyone willing to give their beloved world a try. Me included. I called this game a scam for so long. I actually tried it.

I bought star citizen now 6 months ago. Did not stopped playing since then and TOMORROW will be my first IAE. CANT WAIT
Important PSA: there's actually a really important point in the terms and conditions, that is repeated every time you try to buy / pledge money on the RSI website: ships, gameplay loops, balance and every other aspect of the game is IN DEVELOPMENT.
To you, this means that there is a high probability that your assets will not be exactly as they are at the time of purchase. Every time a ship is changed, there are people horrified at the change in game balance whether the changed ship / item was something they own or something that changes the value of other things they own.
So please, feel free to join us as backers if you want, but beware that there is no guarantee that the game will develop in a specific direction (or gets finished at all, though this is looking extremely likely and soon within reach atm). I love the game, love the community, love following the development. That last part is still a big part of the experience.
excuse me sir, my ION advertisement is not accurate.
Idk, it seems to just be a labeling issue with people. It doesn't matter but for perception if you call it released, there's plenty of content they've already 'released' anyway, just call it released and keep working on it, kinda like the original plan for destiny, 10 yrs of updates

There is a hotkey to request takeoff and landing, also a hotkey for autoland (when you are pretty close to ground). You can go into settings to look at keybindings, which are pretty extensive since it is meant to be realistic and in depth. Tutorials definitely help though.

Correction for something you said. aUEC stands for Alpha United Earth Credits, and serves the purpose as a temporary monetary unit for the early development stage of the game, hence why it is wiped so easily for new builds when necessary. UEC is the official monetary system for the game and in-lore universe, and you get a certain amount with your starter packs and what not, shown on your RSI account on the website. UEC will be your currency when the game is completed, but while in Alpha, aUEC will be used until then.
“This game doesn’t run too well I’m only getting 60fps at 4k” ….. ohh, you poor poor man..
I've supported SC since 2012. It deserves the skepticism. A good portion of any of the success it has had is due to the skepticism and feedback they've gotten from the player base throughout development. But I do think it's earned its place and has a very promising future.
Remember they had to scrap everything and start fresh for 2015, so prior to that was just experiment.
Correct. And with the latest Producer letter, it doubly deserves criticism.

One needs to realize the 600+ M$ Star Citizen has generated go towards the development of 2 games, the Persistent Universe, an open world MMO; and Squadron 42, a single player space adventure game. 600 M& over 12 years is 50M$ per year split into 2 different games. Cyberpunk 2077 took 7 years to make at 483M$, which is 69M$ per year on just 1 single player game that doesn't innovate in every tech aspect of the game. People are really exaggerating a lot. Star Citizen has a relatively small budget for its company size.
Keep in mind that because Stephens was given credits by random people in game, his experience would be better than someone who has a starter ship (he makes the same point in the video). That said, it's pretty easy to rent some ships once you know how to go about it, and you can still experience all of these ships during free fly events or just hopping onto other people's ships. Not to mention if you play PTU builds (which are before the live release), players often have access to the new ships in that patch.
Also, atleast in my opinion, the real fun of the game is interacting with the community. I love working on one of the big ships, as part of an org, being part of a crew. It might not technically be my ship, but it doesn't matter, "your ship" just means you can spawn it in SC. You can use all the features of the ship even if it isn't yours.
Orgs also join up money for these ships super easily, so you'd have the org equipped with a whole fleet in days even when a reset occurs.
Exactly. I own the big ships our small org uses (Hammerhead, Perseus when it comes out, Vanguard, Valkyrie, etc., as well as a Spartan APC since we do a lot of ground combat) so my orgmates don't have to. Another guy has the big medical/explorer and transport ships (C-2 and a Carrack) to carry the APC and tanks. It really is a community game. You can solo it if you really want to, but it's a helluva lot more fun to run around with a bunch of other nutters and see what they get up to :)
I almost never pull anything larger than my corsair unless I have people I'm flying with. The bigger ships are too much ship for one person.
At this point, there are a large number of dedicated players who have made a ton of money mining. Since we know there will be a database wipe with the upcoming 3.18 patch, they are happy to toss money around for the same Rason that Luke bought the 890. It's important to understand that everything we do in Star Citizen at the moment is for testing. If you go into the game expecting to grind out success, you will very quickly get frustrated and burn out. The good side of that is that you can try things and take risks, because nothing truly matters in the long term.
If a person wants to try a ship, either out of curiosity or before they pledge for it, many people will be happy to lend it out if they have it and see someone ask in chat.
What blew my mind is when I heard one of the developers say that in the future you will be able to go to a planet, place an object (like a gun) on the ground, log off for months, then log back in, fly to that spot and still have that object you placed be there. The ambition of this game captures what we all dreamed about doing as little kids.
And that feature is called "full persistence". It's coming in the next 3.18 patch (due end of year).
Yeah don't worry another 500 million and 10 years later, you will see this feature
These sorts of claims have been around for a decade now. A decade from now they will still be making promises in order to extend development of the game and avoid delivering an actual product. I wish streamers, commenters, and anyone really would stop giving these devs attention.
@@bludybloop4350 Lliterally doesnt have any design or gameplay in it.
They wrote a spaceship controller and a character controller and made a bunch of graphics.
About it.
"What blew my mind is when I heard one of the developers say that in the future you will be able to go to a planet, place an object (like a gun) on the ground, log off for months, then log back in, fly to that spot and still have that object you placed be there."
This has been a feature in Starbound, No Man's Sky, & Astroneer for years now. I know it's not the same degree of hyperfidelity visually as in Star Citizen with any of these games, but still...It's a feature already present in a variety of open-ended scifi games already available & in a more complete state.
Bonus: each of those games can be played offline & so your placed objects on planets are even _more_ persistent than Star Citizen, where another player may destroy the object (at some point, presumably), server wipe may remove it, or eventual shutdown of the game as a whole may erase it completely.
"there is no game that allow you to travel with this scope without loading screen THERE IS NoT"
No men sky: am i a joke to you ?
the Karl bawlz in yo jawls load timer earned my sub. Good job lmao
i want more star wars facts, but the task required is quite impossible
I started and was going around doing missions, and it's surprising how you quickly a group will pick you up. Someone in chat asked if anyone could be a gunner for a bounty mission and now there's a group I'm in that can show me how to do things.
CIG have been _very_ intentional in motivating group play by how they design ships. The majority of ships come with at least two, if not three positions to fill, with the pilot usually only controlling flight and half of the weapon systems available. Turrets make moderately dangerous ships absolutely lethal in combat and are vital to long treks across space for both bounty-hunters, pirates, and cargo-haulers alike.
It’s really clever how they’ve gone about incentivizing spontaneous collaboration and group gameplay.
I haven't played since alpha 3 first came out. This makes me want to play again
3.0 was *HORRIBLE* . The server, the bugs.... everything. I came back in 3.13 and i was much much better. Its a roller-coaster for sure, but _dayyymmm_ its fun when it works.
touring the Jump in VR sounds like an experience
Just a word of warning to new players during freefly. The rule about newer CPUs running SC better stopped with efficiency cores in Intel 12th Gen. If you have a newer computer, check online to see how to disable those specifically in the SC exe. These cores should only be used for background tasks and Windows isn't allocating them properly in some titles and it'll cause even more stuttering than what Luke is seeing.
Gotta love modern pc gaming. /S
So if I have a 12th gen CPU I can't play sc?
@@rya7642 You can, but if you want a better experience just disable the e-cores.
@@CinePhil101 I know, wouldn't it be cool if the game devs could figure out how to optimize their billion dollar game to run on new hardware without forcing the user to do it for them?
You can actually land on some of the sky scrapers roofs in Area 18. This is part of the Delivery Missions where you drop packages off at different locations. You can also fly through the canyons of the Cities to some extent, the game will "tractor" you away when you get into areas you are not supposed to be.
ive always loved star citizen, my computer cant run it anymore, but im gonna upgrade just so i can play this game. i know most people hate that its not a finished product, but from having played so many early access games, i honestly enjoy being along for the journey as the game gets developed.
you were so lucky to have a stream with people to help you! i streamed my first time playing and ofc no one was watching and had to figure all of this out my self took me nearly 1 hour to figure out how to even get my ship 1 more hour to figure out how to get out of the hanger im still new only played like a month but man so jelly that you learned so fast and after one month of grinding mostly on stream im almost ready to buy my first ship cant wait! do wish people would want to watch tho but seems not to be the case xD
I have been a backer for almost 10 years and am also part of the Evocati testing group. I have spent a lot of money backing their and my dream game. What people also have to remember that they are also building 2 games with the 500 million they have made so far. Squadron 42 is a single player campaign that is getting close to being finished. It has some top actors playing roles in the game and will be a top A rated title with beautiful graphics and immersion. The other is the multi player universe. There are still some core technology that is needed for them to complete the game that they have promised and one of the few last hurdles is coming in 3.18 at the end of the year that is already in testing. After that the next milestone is server meshing. This is going to allow hundreds or more players together in one location. This will allow the use of capital ships that will require 20-50 people to operate. No game does this in the fidelity that Star Citizen achieves. There is some feature creep that has kept the game in production for this long but I am okay with it. Originally we were never going to be able to fully fly to a planet and land like we do now. It has opened up fully explorable planets and moons which they are adding more content to with each patch. Looking forward to 4.0 and the first jump to a new system which should be coming next year with server meshing. Keep up the good work CIG!
890jump actually has 2 bridges, one being for backup closer towards the bottom center of the ship, camera operated. pretty cool
More ships need a battle bridge. I really hope they add them into the bigger military ships as they develop them. I understand that in the lore the glass is as strong as the armour, but that doesn't change the fact that you'll never get a more protected position than the core of a ship.
Hearing Carl Wheezer singing Ball in yo Jaw almost made me spit out my coke 🤣
I've heard of Star Citizen for so many years, but never cared enough to check it out. I'm seriously impressed after watching this video. Even in this unfinished 'early access' state, it looks seriously cool. In fact, when you showed the $45 price tag to buy it, I scoffed like "Pffft, I'm not paying $45 for an unfinished early access game." But after watching the rest of the video, I'm seriously considering buying it.
45 usd to get the software after every thing you usa a have to buy .
@@hillbillyintheasia6122 no you only have to pay 45 you can buy all ships with ingame credit.
@@hillbillyintheasia6122 by ingame credits
As a regular player who doesn't want to spend much money on the game, you always have the big ships from your friends, because everyone is like: hey i have this cool ship, lets fly with it, and they are happy if you come on board. And mostly you can even pilote them.
crashes it by accident blowing it up to pieces

You can just grind quantum for large ships and get torpedoed by an eclipse and loose 9 hours of work in 20 seconds

@@White_Night_Demon idk insurance ???
One thing that really surprised me about Star Citizen is the physics and attention to detail. If you go into hyperspeed, I forget what it's called, and pay attention to the nearest star, as you approach it and pass it, the light shifts from blue to red due to going faster than the speed of light so you're literally watching the blue shift/red shift of light take place. I freaking nerded out on that when I first saw it.
Oh, I never noticed that, I will have to check next time I play
I own a Freelancer and an Andromeda Aquila, the starter ship, a land vehicle and a tank/apc, and the fighter that comes with the Andromeda.
Amazing game. I love running cargo. It gives you something to do, somewhere to go. And then when that wild hair rises, I do other things.
I love how as you're coming toward a planet it never stutters or loads a screen, never pops, just smooth all the way to the ground. All bought with real money. I'm probably into it for $800.
The biggest issue I have with this game is the same as everyone else, they are 100% milking the community for everything they can, you cannot in good conscious say they are not, 500m+ is more than enough for this game, and the prices on shit in the store is insane. It has taken them a decade to get to where they are now and while it's impressive, the time it took is not. The game does have "loading screens" it's happening while you warp just like in ED and a bunch of other space games it's not all that unique, you can do similar stuff in ED and that game has been out for years (although it is not as good I will say, but it's out).
My bigger issue though is that if this game comes out when a lot of people kind of expect, like 2026 or longer (defiantly longer knowing them) this game engine is just not going to cut it anymore imo, you can't expect an engine to last years and years and still be up to par when you release it, by the time this comes out there will be better engines, and I could see them using that as another excuse to push the game back a few more years to make some more money.
Like I tell my friends, don't buy this, why should they be incentivized to actually release this game when they are making far more by just not, all they need to do is show progress, even small progress and people who have spent hundreds or thousands on it will go nuts for it (I spent like $120 but I don't expect to care about this game when it finally does come out tbh).
In review, I love what little they have done with this game, but I fucking hate how greedy they are and how much time they take doing everything they promise. I have no doubt it WILL release and it will be fun, what I don't know is if it will be in the 2020's or 2030's...
In the days leading up to a wipe any new player can ask for money in global chat and get enough to buy a big ship.
This. Every whale with millions literally gives it all away before each wipe. It's how I was able to buy some fairly expensive ships before the most recent wipes.
