You know something, I don't give a poo poo, you seem like a decent guy and I've got zero issues with you. This 'game' is such a loving farce that I wouldn't let it dictate any area of my life, it's literally of no importance to me. I like everyone here tbh and always have done. Everyone has a part to play in the comedy and for that I thank you all.

You know what, last night some dickhead decided to blow up a load of kids about 10 mins away from where I live and I'm having to try to explain this to my son. poo poo like this puts things in perspective, Star Citizen means gently caress all to me and hasn't for a long long time.

This is a post that has been needed to be made for a long loving time. It IS just a game and we are all here for the same purpose of laughing at it and each other.

So it is for diplomatic reasons that civilians citizens (remember: service guarantees citizenship) get to fly stealth bombers. Just like in real life.

It's an extension of Heinlein's concept that you have to have served to be a 'citizen' which is pretty much front and center in quite a number of his books. It's a popular theme in my generation, particularly amongst nerds that would get winded going up stairs. Traveller kind of extended the idea, by having all the player characters in a branch of the various services before cashing out with qualifications and/or other goodies according to rank.

Famously you could die during character generation as you had to roll to make it through a tour alive. I believe that the wig commodore lore was largely similar; semi-permanent war with the kilrathi leading towards a miiltarized state or what the incrowd calls called 'Cadia'.

Edit: Douglas Hill for example - "Keill Randor is a legionary of the planet Moros, a world famed for its martial rigor and devotion to Good Causes. Returning from a scout mission, he finds that his homeworld has been completely wiped out through an evil radioactive bomb. As all the legionaries had been recalled to help with the crisis, they're all dead. Only Randor (thanks to some convenient engine trouble) was late enough to avoid the attack. However, since he's now been exposed to the world's poisonous aura, he only has a few months to live - and to get revenge." - I loved these when I was fourteen.
