It's completely organic gameplay where 6 or 7 people just happened to get together with their brand new 140 dollar missile truck that was released like 30 minutes before the video was posted.

They are completely organically guarding one of the many ground-based targets that definitely exist in the game from a totally random player who just happened to fly up and want to attack it, which happens all the time even though there are 50 players max spread out over about 6 planets worth of surface area. This all just works because Star Citizen is a real game and stuff like this definitely happens all the time. The fact that you can't actually transport the truck so they must be within a few minutes of some spawn pads should not make you suspicious. Also please do not take note of the fact that there's no actual mechanical reason anyone would ever need to fight one of these trucks or shoot down a ship with one of these trucks. Do not question. Just consume product and get excited for next product.

These dumb motherfuckers are trying to mimic Planetside gameplay now? You're going to have people sitting in a loving missile buggy on the ground in your space sim?

The defenders on reddit are now the last left, the pure, undiluted knuckle heads.
I like them because they do all the hard work of making their cult look insane all by themselves with no prompting.
I also like to remind myself that development started in 2011, the game is half a decade late, doesn't work, has no gameplay and cost over a quarter of a billion dollars.
This is my recap on the amazing project CI have given us, like comedy mana from heaven, every aspect of it is so ridiculously idiotic you just have to giggle, from the joyless baboons like Twerk and Boredgamer making hour long videos no one cares about, to the insane ramblings of joe loving blober, always on duty to defend the honour of a corporation that gives not a solitary poo poo about him, it's just brilliant from any angle you care to look at it from.
Massive overscaled tanks that are so comically huge they are useless, trains that float above the tracks no clipping through all in their path, travel times measured in dozens of minutes in a game with less than 2 star systems, Sandi going psycho and strangling people, Chirs stood on a yacht in the biggest 'gently caress you got mine' pose there is, Ben stalking newsreaders, their engine creator suing them, them selling huge chunks of the business right from under backers noses, stock images stolen with abandon, it's just all loving brilliant.
The backdrop of a gaggle of grade A twats defending it all the way just makes it funnier and funnier.
It's a dead project, I loving still love u str ctzn

Don't worry Citizen, your 700 dollar super ship is still 100% safe from those scrubs in their dedicated anti-ship missile platforms.

Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to our whales!

Also: I really like how you can see exactly how loving jank the missile firing is here. They don't launch and hit their targets. They teleport into the air, fly in the vicinity of their target, and then blow up. It's just totally desynced.

Wait, is there even a way to transport the SAM to other planets?

So I'm looking at all the hype posts and excitement about this thing and I just want to make sure I have this correct.

It costs 140 dollars
It can't fly
It can't even be transported on any of the ships currently in the game
The missiles only lock on under 2km
It uses the awful Star Citizen missile mechanics for lock on and tracking which means it basically isn't going to hit anything that's actively flying- all the videos show it taking a pack of 3 of these to blow away pretty much stationary targets
It has all the other problems that missiles have had for literal years and that still aren't fixed like inability to select which missile size you're firing and the severe animation desyncs
You can't even reload the goddamn thing once you've fired all your missiles off
On top of all that, it's absolutely zero threat to any ship with Size 3 shields.
It's a ground vehicle which means, if the price structure of the other ground vehicles holds up, that you can probably earn one in-game for like 1/10th the credit cost of a similarly-priced ship.
So, given all of that- why would you ever pay real money for one of these?

I'm sorry if this question nettles some people. Star Citizen is absolutely a great game, except for all the parts that are greedy cash-grabbing nonsense like broken vehicles that cost 3 times the price of a brand new AAA game. Please let me know how wrong I am so I can get back to consuming product and getting excited for next product.

GoG and humble are ... good?
same with discord maybe, because they let me disable the store part easily, and revenue split seems pretty fair for developer.

im interested to hear if there is some downsides to those stores.
