Frontier Forums member Backer42 posted:

"It's important to remember, that the new announcements are as believable as the old ones: Not at all.

As with the "last chance to get two games for the price of one" until Feb 14th, which is currently pitched:

All previous announcements of "last chances" to get anything exclusively (full alpha access, LTI etc.) were lies. I'm sure there will be "combo package" sales in the future, "pre-order all episodes at once" and so on, once money runs tight again.

My personal expectation/prediction: Roberts will try to sell SQ42 at a full price on multiple platforms and the "MMO" trainwreck everyone pledged for will turn into a F2P (P2W) afterthought. So there is absolutely no reason to give him money now. Rent a used copy of the SQ42 movie for PS4 when it's done and laugh an evening about A-list actors executing abysmal writing. Then return it and play the scaled-down and feature-cut MMO for free until the servers get shut down a year later."
Wow. I like read prognoses more cynical than my own sometimes. Makes me feel like an optimist, even while thinking Star Citizen is doomed to release late and be humiliated by a surfeit of superior space game experiences...

Interesting reactions at Frontier Forums to recent events, including the upcoming in-game store.

Shoutout, too, to 1500 for his long-running and ongoing efforts to brush scales off of eyeballs blinded by the divine light of Chris Roberts promises.

I really don't understand it. Why defend this dumpster fire? Sunk cost fallacy? There is nothing about it that speaks for itself, if that makes sense. There is absolutely no goddamn reason to trust this developer anymore. Not that there ever really was, but the hope should have run out a long time ago.

They will not let me die of rice poisoning until Derek does his duty.

just ur daily reminder about how loving insane this game is as pitched

https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/44970j/how_much_needs_to_be_completed_before_the_game_is/

quote:

Hey everyone! As a disclaimer this is not a thread about feature creep or CIG taking too long to finish the game. I am sure they will and I am not worried about how long it will take. However I have been following this game for a long time and I am struggling at the moment to keep track of every system that needs to be completed for the game to be considered finished. I know there are some features planned for post launch and I it would be cool to add them to a list of features under that subheading. The idea of this thread is to simply create a checklist of all of the promised and planned features for backers to keep an eye on as the game gets further fleshed out. This list will not include features already implemented such as 64bit conversion, localised physics grids etc. If there has already been a thread about this (recently) then please just link me there. I searched for it and could not find it though. I will try to update this with additions from the comments:

Gameplay Mechanics

-Fleshed out (as opposed to the stop gap solution we have now) repair mechanics
-Fleshed out refueling
-Object persistance/permanent ownership
-Physicalised EVA
- Conversation system
- NPC casual (nonviolent) behaviour
- Economy/Universe NPC simulation
- Job and Contract creation
- Mining mechanics
- Salvaging mechanics
- Cargo hauliing mechanics
- Grabby hands - Crime mechanics (flagged as having committed a crime, bounty created, local security alerted)
- Theft mechanics (altered object ownership)
- Layered clothing/Character customisation/Women
- Shopping/Money
- Atmospheric landing/ Air traffic control
- Tranport of information/ News reporting stuff
- Science/research gameplay
- Jump point gameplay/detection
- Fleshed out scanning/stealth
- Interior systems (power, heat management etc)

Physical Content
-~100 solar systems
- Space stations (lots)
- "Hero" landing zones (hand crafted like Area 18) Anyone know how many of these there will be at launch?
- Jump point interiors (wormhole appearance/generation)
- FPS weapons and armour
- Implementing procedural moons/ moon bases
- Ground Vehicle(s) - whatever that thing in the carrack and connie is (que Mako flashbacks)
- Remaining ships: BM, Carrack, Idris?, Javelin, Catapillar, Starfarer, Gemini, New Cutlass, etc. (not too fussed about this as there are already plenty of ship progress threads with pretty pictures and the like).

Note
I would also like to mention that several of these things are possibly already finished as we have seen them in things like AtV or somewhere else, but I will only cross them off (like this) when they are actually implemented into the Alpha for people to play with and test.
Please list extra things I have forgotten or tell me I am a big idiot in the comments section below

Agreed, I guess this is a list of stuff the game needs to be "content complete". As I understand it betas are supposed to be just for removing bugs and balancing gameplay. I know that is not really what EA and co use them for these days, but that was their original purpose. So yes, if I could ammend the title it should read: "What does the game need before it can exit* Alpha?"
