Ship Progression
Ship Progression, Values & Costs of ships are all still being worked out.
They want the community to help with this as they go forward.
The idea is that some ships especially the larger ones are going to be extremely expensive & would be bought by an ORG or group together.
He equates the value of ships being bought now with IRL monies as effectively good value.
The smaller starting ships will be much more affordable in game, BUT prices will ramp up fast.
Building up your ship and becoming attached to it are part of the gameplay they are going for.
But with 3.0 and beyond they will work with the community to balance ship progression appropriately.

Well all this sounds very encouraging. It sure is a good thing you haven't pre-sold 100 million dollars worth of ships with magical lifetime insurance which is going to completely destroy any type of progression or economy you might have ever had.

How can someone go on a tour of F42 to be shown current, specific, actual and tangible work in progress only to leave the premises with a loving wall of dreams (tm) to report on.
Perhaps in their seventh year of development CIG can get some design docs finished regarding core gameplay and basic functionality.

Of course there is whole lot of poo poo they've been working on in regards to assets. The great Lando leak a couple years back proved that. Funny that gently caress up probably kept this trainwreck going.

Problem is how to fit the poo poo in the game and given that the assets will be need to be refactored 10 times.

The pipelines are all full of gravity goo and are really heavy so no one can move them around anymore so devs have to take turns making trips to them to fill up their wheelbarrows with code to layer on but it's hard because one of them broke their wrist too which really slows down the process but ensures that only the highest quality will actually be presented to the backers many of whom are engineers and every citizen that can run sc on has a computer is full of modded parts you see it's already here and game is life so money is the currency and you can already spend it in the pledge store but gameplay doesn't really require a ship cause you can star marine but you need one to get a game package.

Yep, this is what the shitizens don't get every time they plonk out their latest shiny jpg concept art. No one is doubting they have dozens of CG artists sat around twiddling their thumbs, what we're doubting is that a. all that poo poo ends up in a game called Star Citizen, b. they manage to roll all their bullshit promises and dreams into a functioning 'game', and c. that game is any good.

Star Citizen has taken great strides in the area of it's economy.

For example they've pre sold one hundred and fifty three billion UEC worth of items, so that means the economy won't immediately hyper inflate due to the removal of $153,000,000,000 UEC worth of moneysinks, flooding the market with now useless currency everyone has tons to spare of because

Stop spreading FUD, goonie, everyone can see the patch history right here and know that Chrisp Robbems is closer to his vision than ever.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/patch-notes

I mean look at all the amazing notes in the last year alone, like:

An actual patch note posted:

Made some tweaks to ship automated landing procedures.

Holy poo poo, how can you see that and not recognize the progress they're making? Or how about :

Another one posted:

After months of construction, the Casaba Shopping Outlet has opened up on ArcCorp!
Interested pilots can now purchase the latest fashions from around the frontier at affordable prices.
Cubby Blast has also fixed the main sales computer, and is ready to sell eager pilots weapons, flight suits and armor sets.
The shop clerks in ArcCorp have received some graphical improvements to be less soulless.

That is the kind of rapid paced development that you only see from a company with a total commitment to its product. They're so far ahead, they're basically already doing incremental patches as if the game was finished and on publisher life support! What about this one?

Seriously there hasn't been anything interesting in the patch notes for a year now posted:

You can no longer obtain large amounts of aUEC by shooting parts of Security Station Kareah under specific circumstances.

You doubting Thomases are going to ruin everything. CIG has been putting out high quality patches consisting mostly of small tweaks and bug fixes at the mind boggling rate of one every 3-to-5 months for years, now. That's the quality that only a shop with 400+ employees and hundreds of millions in backer and bank-loan funding can produce. You point me at any other game putting out the sheer volume of promises that Chris spews, every single time he's on camera, and I will post you a 15,000 word essay about why it is poo poo and then follow you across the internet for a couple of years.

Been thinking about gravity liquid.

It should be a weapon. Crush your foes.

Imagine being in a compartment where the gravity goo flooded. Would everybody be flattened against some wall surface? Would people become a tiny attempt at a blood singularity?

Could you just pump gravity goo into a ship to kill everybody then pump it back out?

What if you flooded space with it? What about gravity goo mines? Would they crush parts of the ship they splatter across?

Being able to harness a natural phenomenon and then not militarize it is simply not something humans do.

What if you put gravity goo on a ceiling? Would everything in the room be lighter? Imagine lifting huge tractor trailer cargo containers around with just a single person as if they were pillows.

How does gravity goo know which way is up?

I love Star Citizen because everything they touch is so incomprehensible, which is such a comical juxtaposition of the "rough and patchwork" sci fi universe Chris Roberts loves so much.

"We're just a rag tag band of cowboys in space that's basically world war 2!" *has developed gravity defying liquids with complex distribution systems in the rusted out, conduit exposed ships*

"Got to go load these boxes by hand cause we're so low tech!" *loads it into a ship with super light, super thin glass stronger than titanium and magic*

"Time to go fly my ship that flies slower than a Sopwith Camel through space!" *vaporizes into a wormhole harnessed by pure magic and appears at the other end of the universe near Earth because that was the secret jump hole the aliens are going to use to invade*

And speaking of aliens: "We are barely out of the Stone Age and use spears and knives!" *flies a technological wonder through space killing other races because they are very wrathful*

And this is in all of CRs games. Except maybe like Strike Commander because that was just modern stuff without him needing to destroy it too much or be too creative with the universe aesthetics.

Oh, bonus points for Chris Roberts if the evil alien homeworld is shadowed in murky fog and volcanoes. Super extra points if that fog is tinted red.

Can't have aliens who are evil have a average looking inhabitable planet that might actually be able to harbor life.
