Whereas in Elite, the orbital dynamics of the systems are responsible for some of the most jaw-dropping scenes imaginable...

I've played Elite for hundreds and hundreds of hours and until I watched that, I hadn't realised quite how dynamic those CMEs/solar flares were.

Then again, Elite isn't in alpha ergo it must be worse than Store Citizer, which is good.

Maybe that's a tribble on her head? Or a reference to Chris having hair plugs or something?

Maybe it seems less threatening because he's not going to be gunning for me when ELE happens, so I'm just a spectator? (from a distance)

"How do I travel to another star system I am a noob"

I have heard about these jump points but I can't seem to find them whare are they? How can I find them I do have the latest update

:reddit::

---They don't exist yet, you're about a year too early.

---They've been spending the time building the star system building tools, using Stanton as the test bed system as it's quite diverse and would allow them to build most of their tools with the one place. They are going to be expanding soon-ish.

Pyro is the next one, as far as we know. They showed a demo of jumping to it at last year's anniversary con

---Just to be clear here....you aren't talking about Quantum Travel between planets and moons are you?

So apparently Crytek are indeed remastering Crysis and also it's coming to Switch
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-04-16-crysis-remastered-revealed-coming-to-nintendo-switch

They're talking about ray-tracing too.

Enter Shitizens who absolutely know about game development talking about how all this tech will be usable by Store Citizer because it's the same engine.

I am sure it was all discussed and agreed in the secret settlement deal.

Crytek knows that Crobbler has valuable tech and will totally go crawling back to him and beg him to take their new code because reasons and this is how the industry works.

Hello dear Citizen,

why i need your help you ask? I will tell you... But first, my head explode! I am total depressed. I feel abandoned from CIG. Sometimes i wake up and regret everything and just start to cry.

I'am total serious.

What happened? Like 3 Month ago i participate in an giveaway here on Reddit. (https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/entilj/giveaway_mustang_starter_kit) I won! It was such a cool feeling. The Giveaways OP send me an personal message and say something like: he just want to quit SC forever and will also gift me his Carrack and Cutlass Red too". So i telled him to send the original Starter Pack from the Giveaway to my friend (as a surprise) and send me the Carrack + Cutlass Red.

After a few seconds ~ voila I f*** got a Carrack and a Cutlass Red! I screamed my lung out. I started to melt this stuff and buy me the subscriber 890J. I just was the luckiest guy in the world.

Now the bad thing... On the 21th of January i got an Mail from CIG. My Account got temporary closed. Due to suspicious gift activity. I thought: "Ok. Maybe its just a check up. Because the worth of gifting was to big!" I instantly respond to the Mail from CIG, because they write to send them stuff to help for investigate the thing etc.

I send them Screenshots, Names, Dates, What happened and the original link from the Reddit Giveaway.

Yeah.

Till now - no answer, no information, nothing.

Why i'am so mentaly broke you ask?

I am a student here in germany and i have like NO Money. I live in Berlin where the rental for my flat is huge!

Two things are bad and destroy myself...

First: Many of the german community member can confirm you all, that i spare alot of money. I just wanted so bad to buy the Constellation Phoenix because i'm in love with this beauty! I put back needs like food till i managed to buy it on the last CitCon. And i was the happiest guy on earth.

I am scared that this is gone.

Second: I am a long time subscriber and during the deactivation/ban of my Account, CIG is charging my Bankaccount still with the amount of the normal subscription. I dont know what to do. I cant cancel my subscription, because i cant loggin. I worked as an IT costumer support and know what a pain in the rear end it is, when i charge the money back. And yeah... At least i dont want to charge it back... Because my hopes are high, to evantually get my Account back.

So please... Spread this.

What should i do next? Some german community members already write to some workers and supporters from CIG but some of them just respond something like "its not my job" or didnt respond anything.

All my family members are just starting SC in this time where we cant go out... And i am like "yeah cool"

CIG? PLEASE... cry

I've dropped over 15k on this game so I can tell you money doesn't matter. It seems that it's more related to how willing you are to fellate the support staff than anything else. I have been given the runaround by CIG for over a year now on an item they arbitrarily melted on my account (that I cannot unmelt). They have lied to me about the reasoning and have been rather patronizing about it. They've shot down my proofs with condescending comments, and haven't responded to my last reply in over half a year.

So rubbing is out and fellatio is in?

A fellow German. Of course. I really don't understand why SC is such a thing here...
Back in my studying days where money was tight, the last thing I would've spent it for are loving imaginary spaceships for an even more imaginary "game". He had it coming, no pity. Hopefully he learned a lesson from this, but from his writing it doesn't seem like it.

Anyway, I've avoided the Gamestar forum and the star citizen thread in the last few months but couldn't help to look if this guy also posted his sad story there.
Sadly I couldn't find him on the last few pages but a guy that announced he quit Star Citizen and wants to be removed from their group, because he sees it as a waste of time due to QT, long walks, survival mechanics and so forth. This is the first time I've saw a post like this in the thread, and in general the population there seems to be smaller than last time. A few months ago there were the same 10-12 people around, this time I've saw the 5-6 regulars, enjoying coffee drinking in their ships and the buggy space combat.

Anyway, according to them, Star Citizen is still good, everything is fine and the atmosphere alone is worth it. Also, lots of screenshots plus the advice to not play alone, which is quite telling. Fallout 76 can be entertaining with some friends, so what does this tell about the current experience a new player will have in the PTU?
