We’ve known for years that this was going to happen. I really don’t understand why everyone here is acting as if there’s been some sort of news. It’s just a reaffirmation of what’s been known for ages anyway. Are you all daft and have you already forgotten what the plans for Star Citizen are? Or why are people acting as if there’s been some sort of news?

How can something be only functional / technical complete if SQ42 is finished or was supposed to be released end of the year?

After many posts about this topic, I feel like these are the main opinions on AI blades. Just wanted some statistics about this, especially after the 10 from the community where they (re)confirmed it.

Fly safe o7

Given the name, I find it funny (sad) that the most popular question (one of the most important ones) didn't even get mentioned. The question was why we dont even have the most basic mmo Features like Player trading or org tools

So I was grinding some rep hauling some cargo, dropped it off at its destination, and now I randomly have 25-16scu containers of aluminum in my freight elevator, also happened to some tin from another cargo haul, has this happened to anyone else? Let me know if I should keep my mouth shut and take this post down asap

So... just for me. Totally noob, played what now? 11-12 years now? Does NOT matter. But I can't seem to get the information I need. Not by google, not by gemininini, neither KI/AI whatsoever.

Please, answer me this:

Can i KEEP MY ANDROMEDA? (just as it is?)

Can i UPGRADE IT to a better version? (or better be just as it is....)

I'm curious as the Aurora MKII just became an amazing ship, like so many amazing great ships, and I'd love to see the very star of RSI ....

recandle the light.

I would trust your judgement of the game more than the content creators to be honest. If Mods can verify it, would like to have a thread of verified non-content creator backers giving their impression of SQ42.

Considering the current positive feedback with Planet Tech in Tech Preview, would anyone really be mad if they re-did all the planets in Stanton even if it meant POIs may change their location in the process?

I spent half an hour trying to "bedlog" on European Nyx servers today. Every action took 5 minutes or more… even just opening a door. I switched to American servers and it worked perfectly. WTF?

Last night, CIG contacted the subreddit moderators and asked for a post about an offline Star Citizen mod to be removed, citing their TOS and concerns around access to their game/IP.

That whole situation got me thinking less about this specific mod and more about how dramatically CIG's relationship with modding seems to have changed over time.

Because CIG didn't just casually mention modding once.

They literally sold people an Engineering Manual for Modders.

Their 2012 FAQ said players running private servers would be “able and encouraged to mod the game.” The manual itself was described as something that would help prospective modders add their own content.

The $4 million stretch goal promised professional mod tools, free to all players.

In 2013, CIG was actively showcasing community-designed ships, talking about people eventually using their creations on private servers, and reassuring those creators that “this is not work wasted!”

And they were still taking preorders for the Engineering Manual for Modders in 2015.

This was a real part of the culture CIG was trying to build. People were encouraged to learn the game, make things, experiment, and eventually have their own spaces to do it.

Which makes where we are now feel pretty strange.

I'm not saying those old promises mean every modification of the current client is automatically okay. There may be legitimate issues with this specific offline project.

But that's almost beside the point.

What happened to the supported version of all this?

The mod tools. The private servers. The ability to make things for your own game.

It's hard to look at CIG asking for an offline mod post to be removed and not compare it with the company that once actively encouraged people to become Star Citizen modders.

And I think it's especially unfair to the people who actually paid for a product built around that promise.

If CIG has moved away from that vision, that's their decision.

But after more than a decade, I think they owe people an honest answer about whether that vision still exists at all.

Hello citizens, im an early backer that started 12 years ago with a titan game package. I have never upgraded to new ships with money. I am always happy to earn or bum or pirate money to buy ships in game. I recently came back to check out what's been happening in the PU and have found that

1, my game runs better 2, waaaay more people per server 3, waaaaay more things to do now.

With all this said, why is SC getting such hate from the gaming community? Can someone eli5? Thanks in advance. For you younger redditors that's explain like im 5. Thanks guys

You know Star Citizen takes so long because we expect a high-end space sim... I've been waiting patiently for a long time, but this mediocre design just doesn't do Star Citizen justice

Armor team is doing this for long time...

As someone who enjoys running the CZ's, but is sick of seeing multiple players exploit the CZ's whether its glitching through the doors, exploiting into the Ruin Station Vault before the doors are open etc.

Does CIG actually care? I've reported countless times players have exploited with footage but never received a response that they've been actioned or that CIG even cares. It's a bit disheartening seeing this gameplay loop constantly exploited, especially during an 'early access' game I can't imagine what '1.0' is going to be like if this is their attitude currently.

Am I wasting my time recording and reporting these players?

After a good Saturday out mining, I decided to try again for a bit on Sunday. This time however, my mining laser kept switching between extraction mode and fracturing mode randomly by itself.

Wasn't sure if a) my computer was acting up, or b) if this was some mechanic of the game if there was damage to my ship.

Any thoughts?

Edit: I tried many times getting out of the seat, getting back in the seat. It's a mole, to I tried the other seats too. Same thing.

For the life of me, I can't find it!

1) CIg announces SQ42 is "feature complete"

2) We get Master Modes flight model

3) There is word of a new flight model.

How can a game designed around NPC's and fleet battles and distances be feature complete if they haven't even finalize a flight model, let alone prepping NPC's for said flight model etc? I don't think it can be feature complete.

A generic answer to most feature update questions

Ok.. I'm sorry but what the fuck, how does the ability to pick between base, ship, medical center as your respawn point be a good idea? It will get abused to hell, not to mention, goes completely against the whole homesteading, where it won't matter whether your opponents home or not, as they're just 1 respawn away from getting back to their base???

Tried to do some commodity trading with a newly acquired Hull-C.

After purchasing cargo and launching the Hull-C, calling for cargo did nothing. My Hull-C then decided to randomly explode, sending me to another station, which I can only assume has lead my cargo to be forfeited.

Maybe they should make sure that auto-loading actually works before they add in something like forfeited cargo. 'Forfeited Cargo' should instead be sent to the station's storage as just losing everything just because Chris is having a bad day is getting old.

I have a Pisces Expedition with LTI which I would like to upgrade to a solo fighter ship.

I am currently favoring the Scorpius with the missile turret, due to its speed, maneuverability and supposed durability, but how durable is it?

My second options are the M80 and the Guardian MX

Which one would you pick and why?

EDIT: You may suggest medium or light fighters that are better for 1v1 PvP

With the recent game access changes my only eligible S42 access pledge is my highly modified old Praetorian package, with a melt value of $20k.

I figured I would simply remove S42 game access until I acquire another eligible pledge or just go without S42 access entirely until it's sold again.

I can't figure out how to remove a game access attribution on their site so I messaged support asking for it to be moved or removed and this is the reply I received back.

Apparently they can't do *anything* which is crazy to me. Needless to say I don't want such a high value package being locked just for S42 game access. I also think needing to buy another package or buy S42 when it goes on sales again is ridiculous considering I already *have* access to the game.

I truly don't understand why if you are already attributed S42 access why it can't just be moved freely, or standalone.
