If all you want to know is "What has Star Citizen actually released lately" and you don't really care about the latest cashfactory spaceship or whatever, this thread is a much more concise summary even with all of the shitposts.

A blank piece of paper would be a pretty concise summary of what they've released recently

I really think the worse thing for Roberts right now is realizing he's got to slash the scope of the game. Normally games do this and it kinda sucks, but hey, the game comes out anyway and people don't really miss the cut features if the game is good.

But CIG has pre-sold dozens of ships with unique game mechanics, especially the ones with large multicrew support. They have to keep moving forward, because the second they say "yeah we can't do that" they have to refund a shitload, an absolute shitload, of money.

This year is gonna be great.

This is another thing that I think people will talk about when this whole fiasco is over and done with. In almost every creative project, you have to do some editing somewhere along the line, either to meet a deadline, or due to money issues. It doesn't matter if you have a publisher or just a soft deadline, at some point you have to make cuts like this, and it always sucks. However, I can pretty much guarantee that every movie, video game, or other piece of collaborative, funded art has had this come up, and you don't even know about it. That's because you only got to see the final product, so you couldn't be disappointed about the things you never knew about. It's the smart way to do things, and it's one of the major factors of good design and running a good project.

Editing is almost always a good thing, and selling promises to the tune of $150 million before you even know if anything you said is possible is loving stupid. Good luck editing anything now.

Crob-erts... because it rhymes with Roberts, though if Sandi were the age she claims we could call him Criberts

Perusing the comments, I see this:



Shouldn't be a problem? It is when you consider the $6 mil stretch goal:



So what the hell have they been doing since circa $148 mil of funding ago, apart from squandering other people's money?

So, as of right now, in the build which was released in February but has no meaningful changes since last summer, what *can* you do in this piece of poo poo? Don't even bother being snarky, I'm aware it adds up to "nothing lol" but I want specifics about what features exist at present.

PU - Two bases. Summon your ship and fly around, a few mission to fix a broken comm station for example. Tons and tons of shopping. One moon (that you can't do anything with.)
Arena commander - Dogfighting, vanduul storm wave fight
Star Marine - Two maps, FPS shooter
Racing - Fly through hoops
Hanger - Waltz around looking at your ships and hanger flair. Of course you can't take off from your hanger.

Leaving out all the snarky comment detracts what SC really delivers. But the above list is the gist of features as-is.

And at $155M, I think it's a good bargain, and we all got our moneys worth.

Uhhhhhhh

Fly a noclip ship, shoot a gun, go to a few outposts and grab recordings/cigars, buy clothes.

There's also racing mode, and the arena duel mode.

The answer really is "nothing lol".

Oh yeah, garbage tier FPS Star Marine.

There's also the 'social module' which is a few pathways near a few buildings and for some reason that's social

This is why I go with "crobbler". It rolls off the tongue easier, it's a straight forward shortening of his name, with "cobble" laid over top of it. He cobbles things together.


cobble

verb (used with object), cobbled, cobbling.
1.
to mend (shoes, boots, etc.); patch.
2.
to put together roughly or clumsily.

It's perfect.
