Out of Pod Experience

I will be quite sceptical about SC untill I see a final, working, balanced, awesome, game, however you can actually feel the energy of the game makers, they want to make something big, they have resources.

We will see, so far I do not like the laser effects from star wars 30 years ago... crayons in space!!! I'm also not a big fan of gunnery mechanics tha allow you only to shoot to the front of your ship, like world war II dogfights, one could have thought that some kind of autotracking, present in EVE, is something obvious in future guns.

That said it's all about entertainment, so time will tell.

It is kind of the big difference between the two.

EvE it is who has the ability to click on the target and press F1

Compared to SCs pilots ability to actually fight, no skills here except for the abilities of the player them selves.

So if a player is good enough, getting ganked by 5 pirate ships might be a bad mistake for those pirates.

If you were one of the early backers or got someone to LTI your ship and without any notion of 'permanent loss', how can losing your ship in Star Citizen ever be considered a mistake?

Also LTI only covers ships up to November 26th I think it is so any new ships (other than variants) they release after that date will not be covered.

As as they are yet to release destroyers, battleships, most of the capital ships, freighters etc etc, LTI will be good for the start of the game but not if you want anything bigger.

At which point you will need insurance like everyone else, plus the fact you will still need insurance for your armaments and your cargo with the LTI.

Having the LTI just saves you some credits that is all.

SC announced another million-worth goal: alternative starter ship. For a million.

It seems CIG devs becomes as ineffective as CCP devs at actual development of their game.

apparently it will stop with release.... imo anyone who owns a business (as any game company/maker/developer/publisher is) and is making that much from what they are doing will carry on doing it. they would be stupid not too, its 'business' at its pure basics, if it works keep doing it.

also they have gone back on their word already. limited number and one time ships have already been sold multiple times.

anyone who thinks they will stop selling ships on a f2p, p2w game model is a dunce and deserves to sit in a corner with a hat on proudly announcing it.

The fund level doesn't pay for the stretch goal on a equal basis. It's just a teaser for adding funds to game development as a whole, not unlike the pledge packages.

I would be OK with it if they ddin't

To be brutally honest with you lot, the only thing that could convert me into a diehard Star Citizen cheerleader that wants to spend hundreds of dollars on nothing, would be if Chris Roberts did a proper space flight sim with this in mind.

If I want a arcade experience, I'd play any of the FreeSpace (available on GOG) games, X-Wing, TIE fighter, X-Wing vs. TIE fighter or X-Wing Alliance.

The A-10 Pilot failed to check up for planes in the overhead pattern. I'm not sure he looked far enough to the right for the straight-in
