ok for science, i spent a few hours trying to do the most recent event (pick up and deliver cargo or protect npc cargo ships), and it feels awful. most of the cargo elevators don’t work, and missions weren’t always available.
if you’re on a server where you can get a mission, and if you find a functioning elevator, here are just some of the things that will await you:

It’s hard to say, is the player using cheats that make them invisible to AI or is that just CIGs busted AI that doesn’t react to players?
The game is in development, any form of “hacking” is just stress testing.
lol, about time this galactic shit pile provided us some laughs.
I’m really looking forward to whatever ham fisted way CIG tries to address this

GTA 6 won’t have salvaging.
GTA 6 won’t have spaceships with interiors.
GTA 6 won’t have mining.
GTA 6 won’t have environmental hazards on different planetary biomes requiring different suits.
GTA 6 won’t have sandworms.
GTA 6 won’t have component looting.
GTA 6 won’t have physicalised cargo hauling or commodity trading.
GTA 6 won’t have emergent piracy either.
I’m not sure how people are thinking that fewer features means more depth?

I kind of enjoy seeing Ben ever so slightly shitting on the grift
It would be better if he just came out and said it instead of back handing it though
Make this thread funny again.
The US will soon ban jpg exports and build a strategic jpg stockpile
No AI could write Full Burn
Chris Roberts’, vision of the game included a fully mobile autonomous reactive NPC population “full of characters”.

It appears the pledge counter has reached the $800m milestone. It should only be $798m because of the missing the $2m but we won’t worry about that, no one else does.
Here’s the rest of the story though. I’ve used end of March 2025. Technically you could say they have raised over $1b but since they returned $4.8m to investors by way of dividend and I’ve deducted that from the capital raise, so the receipts side of the business is only actually $995m.

Star Citizen should have exclusive Concierge-only servers.
anything funny happening in the world of star citizen?
A quick google suggest Star Citizen still exists.
That’s sorta funny.
Majority of the complaints are from people who don’t play the game.
It’s also alpha – these things will happen. I always mention to people if they are unwilling to deal with the alpha woes, they need to stick with something else until Star Citizen enter beta.

Breaking news: Star citizen concierge+ backer confirms Derek Smart was right Actually really intresting video, Camural has always been pretty open about criticizing CIG but I’ve never a creator so invested in SC’s success be quite this disillusioned before. Also very happy that the legacy of uncle Derek still lives on in backers minds!
Bonus pic:
I think is likely to happen, funding will drop for a few months and CIG will finally relent and remove Master Modes (CIGs latest flight model that is hated by Citizens) and this will be seen as CIG listening to the community and a flood of sales will return.

I don’t think there was an ELE, but i do think CIG has been mortally wounded by 1000 self-inflicted cuts (and counting) over 2024. We’ll probably know by next week how dire the situation is. I’m not saying “90 days tops,” but the next few days are critical for Parp Citizen. Poor IAE sales could induce an unrecoverable flat spin.The passengers and crew of UEE Only Constant are justifiably nervous and upset.

CIG Enters Crunch Time INSIDER GAMING: Star Citizen Developer Cloud Imperium Games Imposes 7-Day Work Week Ahead of Citizencon
