The longer development goes on the less fun the game appears to be to play from my experience, hopefully they sort this element out.
You have running costs though, they aren't meant to be restrictive but any cost will be and it scales, bigger ship = bigger costs. So in many instances you'll want to take the most efficient setup you can for a particular job. No point taking a 600i to deliver 1SCU of cargo etc.

It's not burn out, it's apathy when patch after patch the stability is still not there so you are unable to complete these gameplay looks reliably. I'm done with the "it's an alpha" excuse to be honest, the "game" as it stands is a shocking mess of instability, bugs and poorly planned changes, year after year.
Every year we're told how it's about to get better, but it continues to be just as poor as the previous one, with terrible progress, a barrage of excuses, reduced scope etc.
Yes there are bright spots but my word they are few and far between. I haven't logged in for 3-4 months now, it's deffo not burn out. When I do - I'm waiting until there's a patch that sounds like it's vaguely stable, which yet again doesn't appear to be the case.
It's now going to be renamed the Guppy.
I think the concept of NPCs actually working has never really been believable sadly so nobody bats an eyelid with their removal. Just means when you get to the cockpit the seats don't have random NPC crowds blocking the seats with their heads stuck outside and you, probably getting a crime stat for injuring them! 
A lot of it will depend on navigation data and how that's handled, if we all need to discover or purchase our own nav data then perhaps POI markers will vary, sometimes taking us out of radar range of each other when we jump in. If we're all using the same nav points, which is the current case, then I can see camping and bottlenecking becoming a problem.
I believe the idea always was that you'd be able to discover and buy nav data to give options though.

I criticise CIG a fair bit but Chris Roberts knows how to tell a good old fashioned "hero" story made for games IMHO. It's why WC games were so popular, he knows you need a bit of cheese in there, it can't be too perfect either. If only Disney remembered this with Star Wars :|
Around 25% of people still use HDDs, however it's not clear if this is their only drive or a secondary storage drive used for documents etc.
I'd be shocked if anyone has built a gaming PC in the past 10 years and not used an SSD as the primary/gaming drive to be honest. There isn't really any excuse at this point.
"nothing to show"
Literally hundreds of videos on the official channel, people playing the "tech demo" 24/7, queues to get into PTU at times when new features are being tested etc. Content creators who make their living off covering the development and the fans enjoying their content. An entire community who hold the developers to task for the mildest slip during discussions of features or content..
Stop guys, stop! Apex is here to tell the adults how to spend their money work (hopefully none of us working more than 37 hours a week to do so). Stop enjoying yourselves, stop playing the "tech demo" because it's all fake. Pack it up guys, time to go play whatever game Apex thinks we should.
Apex, frankly you may think your comments make you clever but those of us who have been following this mess of a project for many years are quite happy with it and understand that you are completely clueless about it's state. You are akin to the flat earther in this situation. We are all well aware what the "tech demo" is, you miss the point - we want better games, AAA studios haven't been making better games for 20 + years consistently. Time for change and we're hoping this *may* at some point push the envelope into new territory rather than the copy/paste slop the studios have been producing.
If you dont' want that, fine. However all you are doing is making yourself look daft and at some point a mod will pop in and delete most of your posts when you inevitably go too far.
Keep bumping the thread mate, all it does is get others interested in why we'd still be discussing it here after all these years.
Edit: At time of typing this is post 20,023 in this thread for a tech demo.. Keep in mind as it's in the gaming section and OCUK mods are very dilligent, if they agreed with the trolls this thread would have been deleted years ago. But... at least two of the mods actually play SC.

World of Warcraft recently released a $90 mount, nobody bats an eye.
It's drama farming. I hate to think what I've sent on PCs, consoles, TV, sound systems over the years to support my hobbies however as it's over a long period of time I think it's all been entirely reasonable for the amount of enjoyment I got out of it. I'd suggest with Star Citizen, as with my other MMOs over the decades it's the same.
What I don't get is people coming in after say 2017/18 when the game is already clearly massively over promising and late, then throwing their wallets at the screen over the course of just a few months. Even if you are wealthy, at that point you could argue it's a bit too much too soon. Then again we're in the territory of it's something I wouldn't do given the circumstances, but I don't really care what others do with their own hard earned money. Why I struggle to care about the "woke" games out there, just don't buy it, but not really much of a point caring if others do.
To each their own, I always suggest these days that:
1. Wait until free fly so YOU can judge for yourself.
2. Buy the minimum package available at the time.
3. Do not put any more money in until it's released.
^^ This has been the advice given out by many on here over the past few years, so yeah if people still throw more money at CIG, that's on them.

Personally I like Area 18 (Arc Corp) for new starts, it's a little less confusing and the shops you need are nearer your starting location.
When I play I tend to pick Orison purely as I like to base myself in Seraphim station which orbits the planet, it's pure laziness tbh
Someone did a vid that may help:

@ScarySquirrel added you to the org mate, feel free to say hello on Discord if you haven't already (I've a feeling you have tbh!)
