Yesterday and today myself and my friends have been completely unable to play the game in any meaningful way. Within 30 minutes or so of logging into any instance or server, it will 30K. Something is very seriously wrong right now.

If you can play it for 30 minutes it isn't "actually unplayable" at all.

TFW you lose 578,000 aUEC to a 30k.

This is the reaction of someone who should not be playing an Alpha.

Wtf is even the point of

A) Making that much money

B) Farming in a game with basically no economy

C) Getting upset when you crash/disconnect/ (insert random bad uncontrollable event) in a game that isn't even a game yet.


The streamer is engaging with the game's mechanics and playing the game for extended periods of time, which is what you want from someone testing an alpha. Also, the player is a human being, so being frustrated with a server crash that results in many hours of effort being wiped out, whether they know it's a reasonable expectation of an alpha or not, is understandable. We're not mindless QA testing robots.


A) buying/renting ships/components/armor/weapons in game to try out or have fun with, or giving the money to friends to buy/rent ships/components/armor/weapons in game to try out or have fun with

B) giving the devs data on player run hauling behaviors, economy balance, supply/demand chains, cargo/commodity bug hunting

C) you can play a game in alpha knowing it is likely to have bugs and crashes and still be momentarily upset or aggravated by them, and you can enjoy a game even while it is in alpha form


A. To buy ships/items?

B. See point (A).

C. Because you still just lost several hours (or even days) worth of time?



Man. There's a lot of people jumping to the defense of the streamer. Wonder why....

While doing some bounties with my prowler a police ship approached me, marked as red pirate. So anyway I started blasting. Suddenly the ship turned blue but the prowler destroyed it immediately -> crime stat 3.

I became what i sought to destroy.

I got killed by my headhunter buddy and landed in prison. Here is where the story begins.

6.00 pm - I spawn at Klescher, head to the station computer and see: 1:58Hrs sentence. I want to play star citizen again so I head to the mining area take out my mining tool and a few meters later i clip into the ground. I have to suicide.

6.20 pm - I spawn at Klescher, head to the mining area. Multitool gone. I suicide.

6.25 pm - I spawn at Klescher, head to the mining area and see i can get a new mining tool at the station. I get one but its not working. It simply gets put away everytime I take it in my hand and the laser does not trigger. I find the previous laser on my leg. This time it spawned when I suicided.

7.00 pm - I mined some stuff at the entrance, clipped once again through the ground and fell comletely inside the moon.

7.10 pm. - I spawn at Klescher. Now having both mining lasers I try it all again. The laser from the station still does not work so I throw it away and mine some stuff at the entrance.

7.20 pm - I want to deliver those minables so I head to the station where you exchange the minerals for your time. Well. Its of course bugged so I can not click on the display.

7.30 pm - I reconnected to 12 different servers, still not being able to click on the screens. I give up.

7.30 pm on the way back I found a group of 4 prisoners trying to escape. Well, seems fun I'd like to test out and see how it looks like to escape.

ONE OF THE WORST DECISIONS IN MY HISTORY OF GAMING WAS MADE HERE

After I followed them they killed me 3 times, because somehow they had guns. OK. I wrote in the chat we became friends and they showed me the way out. At the end i died because i missed a hole in the very last stairs.

9.00 pm - I spawned at Klescher. Once again. I checked my timer and it went up to 3 hrs. gently caress so there is no other way than escaping now.

1.50 am (right now) - Long story short; I escaped 20 times, i can speedrun the escape route. But every time someone picked me up with his ship the game crashed completely. ONE TIME I was able to reconnect but on the way to Grim Hex my buddy and I suddenly died without any reason in the back of a cutlass black. so...

I spawned at Klescher. Sentence timer says 5:48 Hrs. I am a prisoner for already 7 Hrs. because of a series of game breaking bugs. And I know that I will spawn there tomorrow and enter the exit elevator and get a bug that will force me to reset my account and ONCE AGAIN lose 700k aUEC, all my armor, weapons and all prospector and prowler components since 3.9 release.

My first Klescher experience

I have to admit, I'm looking forward to the new mining heads coming in 3.9.

The prison gameplay is currently something I do not care about at all, but I'm hoping its not something that intrudes on game play unless you do something stupid.

Dear Community: Should I gently caress everything up? Before you answer please consider the following:

1) By answering "Yes" you free me from all responsibility to deliver on any promises be they past, present, or future
2) By answering "Yes" you reset the timeline- development will only begin from the moment this poll closes

Happy voting!

* YES, gently caress everything up
* NO, I'm not a filthy leaver so I'm voting YES, gently caress everything up

Notable Changes for May 8th, 2020 posted:

Naming conventions have been updated for upcoming quarterly patches. Patch 2.0 introduced a universe, while 3.0 introduced explorable planetary bodies, so it only makes sense that 4.0 be reserved for a similar landmark moment, such as heading to a new system. For this reason, Alpha 4.0 and 4.1 have been renamed to Alpha 3.10 and 3.11 respectively.

NPC Scheduler
As time has passed, the work needed for this card has changed and grown, and the original approach to these tasks will need to be adjusted to accommodate those changes. We’ve removed this card from the roadmap for the time being, and are planning to return it in a series of new cards in an upcoming column.

Shield System Tech Replacement
Additional VFX work is needed on tasks in this card, and the VFX team does not have the bandwidth to complete those tasks within the current timeline. We’ve temporarily removed this card from the roadmap until we are able to determine exactly where it will fall on our schedule.

FPS: Realistic Weapon Handling
The scope of the tasks involved in this card has increased, and we’ve adjusted the deadline to give the team ample time to complete these tasks up to standard. We’ve temporarily removed this card from the roadmap until we are able to determine exactly where it will fall on our schedule.

Ocean Shader Improvements
This card has been added to the Alpha 3.10 column and has been marked as Polishing. | Adding support for in-game oceans to react to flares and local lights using screen-space and cubemap reflection. Upgraded shading to include a Fresnel component and Sub-surface scattering term, and new shader features, to enhance the realism of oceans with improved refraction and additional detail layers.

Images have been updated for the following cards:

Lightning Bolt Co. Atzkav Electron Sniper Rifle
Lightning Bolt Co. Yubarev Electron Pistol
Klaus & Werner Sledge Mass Driver Revision
Mission Giver: Eddie Parr

The following cards have moved into Polishing

FPS: Cover Usage V1
FPS Combat: Weapon Types
