Sarsapariller posted:Then I actually played the game, and spent that time following Citizens around. It turns out none of them ever fire their guns or go anywhere that guns can be fired. They buy expensive ships and then cruise the strip at their favorite stations. Suddenly a lot of stuff became clear to me- why nobody seems concerned about space combat, why CIG gets away with increasingly ridiculous lies about the state of certain parts of the game, why anyone would ever buy a "luxury" variant of a ship that costs hundreds more and comes with like, a minibar. A video game spaceship minibar. I like this Citizen anthropology. I would be tempted to try it myself but I personally don't have the stomach for the field work required, plus I don't want to give money to CIG.

But i do remember some members of SDC (Smiling Dog Crew - PvP group in ED for those who don't know) saying they were quitting ED for SC because SC was already a better game and would provide a better PvP experience.... that was like well over a year ago, possibly 2. I wonder how that is working out for them...

Sarsapariller posted:On a completely different subject, I want to talk for a second about missiles. Early on, missiles were an incredibly important part of the sales pitch. Every combat ship had missiles. There were whole ships based around missiles- the Gladiator, the Retaliator. They actually started a bit of an arms race because the Constellation Phoenix was the first ship that was supposed to come with a point defense turret to shoot down the missiles. The Idris had an entire room and crew position dedicated to anti-ship missiles. Missiles were a critical part of the "Threat" component of any major ship when engaged with fighters, and a major part of what was supposed to make fighters threatening to big ships. This is all clearly bullshit because in Chris's "Road to Release" Space Combat was marked as done.

Making whooshing noises and clanging around. Maybe that was just me, after Mechwarrior 2 came out. Anyway that's the Star Citizen simpit experience.

Tippis posted:Why would you build a simpit for something that's not a sim? That is the fundamental question isn't it I mean, maybe you already had one laying around, that'd be fine. But a lot of these pits that Bad Rincewind is linking are custom built for SC. I can't imagine why you'd do that.

When I drive to work I pretend I'm on the bridge of a space carrier, and sometimes I turn my radio down real low so the evil Badguize can't detect us with their space hydrophones. Anyway I'm a dipshit who built a sim pit for Star Citizen, thanks for listening to my story.
