A few months ago you had two high-end ships and now just one? How long did you spend reading SA before wising up and getting a refund? (FFYI: May want to double check how bad the gray market has been tanking before trying the sold for a profit line.)

There really is a large part of the active online SC "community" that is mentally ill. Sex addicts, people with PTSD, DickWulf going in for ECT, Miku with his depression meds, agoraphobics living off family/welfare, people living in mom's basement who think they're a wolf. loving SPACEBUNNY.

I've met all these people and more while I hung around the SC community. :smith:

It's a trait I've noticed over the years. The people I know who have spent the most all seem to have issues. They are either trying to buy respect or trying to find some sort of meaning in their lives through a video game. Frankly the ones who have spent the most are usually the ones who can afford it the least. And it's sad to say but when reality shatters their dreams there's going to be suicides. It's another reason why I want out. It was one thing to spend a couple hundred dollars 3 - 4 years ago when the genre was dead and I had been waiting for something to revive the genre. But it's become some kind of monster I no longer want anything to do with it.

Because that's obviously what everyone feels has been missing from other space games.

Also, I can't help noticing that he's effectively denouncing Freelancer as not being one of his game, since it did the same thing, and also had the same kind of miniature celestials that SC seems to be aiming for.

"We actually have a full universe simulation that runs on separate servers, responsible for deciding which planets are trading, which organization is doing what, which factories are doing well, who’s selling what, who needs what kind of goods. "
We have a simulation, but it's separate from the game.

"You can do whatever profession you want to do."
"It’s populating the universe with the various people going about their jobs, whether it’s a pirate, trader, bounty hunter, law enforcer "
So diverse.

"I think that makes the game quite different from a lot of the MMOs out there. We obviously haven’t got all this working;"

"there’s a lot of things people said we couldn’t do that we are doing right now."

And that's the main problem right there.

In Chris' mind, the game will never be finished. So he promises feature after feature after feature, because with unlimited time, you can implement these features. The people listening to him, allthough, think that these features will exist...rather soon. In his mind, they will exist...sometime.

As long as he does not define certain milestones, basically his "MVP feature set", he will never know how far the project is, and when he can plan to release something.

That's project management 101. Plan the project with clearly defined milestones, and make sure that at every stage you can determin how far along/far away you are from reaching a certain milestone. Without that, you will never know where you are. Especially if you take achieved milestones, and put them back to zero (in his words: refactor) because you saw another game do it better.

I have a strong feeling that the most deciding factor for when the MVP is "finished" is not which features it contains, but at what time money gets critical, regardless of what is implemented or not. And the funny thing is that the shitizens simply don't get this. The more money they throw at Chris, the longer it will take before ANYTHING comes out of this that is not a buggy pre-alpha.

This stuff annoys me. I got into an argument on another forum, where my comments got deleted in the end for trolling, where I was arguing that Star Citizen has done nothing new. It's all PR about how they have to re-invent every wheel ever made because Chris chose to use, and continues to stick with, possibly the worst engine for the project he could have ever picked.

Their entire rebuttal was "but have you played the PU for more than 5 minutes?".
