I'm going to have myself a little rant....


So they have decided they are trying to shoehorn features in too fast and with that the end up broken and "not enjoyable".

As a remedy they are going to extend the large feature patches from every 3 months to every 6 months to give them more time to work on those features, they are still going for 3 month releases but its in a Tick-Tock sort of way, Big feature patch, 3 months later a small patch and then 3 months another big feature patch....

Good Grief!!!!

I know what this is from, in the last patch they added a feature call "Hover Mode" it caused a lot of upset because no one asked for it, no one wanted it and its just awful, when you take your ship down close to the surface it switches into the Hover Mode, it basically becomes like a Helicopter, you manoeuvre by tilting the ship in different directions, push the nose down to go forward, tilt to the right to go right ecte.... and you're supposed to land using this system, which on open ground is difficult enough but in a hanger is ridiculous, you can't see the hanger floor, you have to tilt the ship to see what is below and even around you, in a tight walled space when you do that the ship of course moves and you crash it into the ####### wall!

How many months of work hours have they wasted on this crap no one asked for when the old method of just flying and landing it as if it was suspended in space worked perfectly?

While with all of that going on and other useless "features" like it the game still has very limited actual content, in the form mission givers ecte..

Instead of just cutting back on these "features" and filling the game with missions to complete they are going to slow the development to better polish the features, as if "Hover Mode" is simply a problem of not not being polished enough.

Right here i was looking to add one or two "Hover Mode Gone Wrong" Montage Videos, there were a lot of them when it first came in... but it seems they have all disappeared from Youtube, or at least they are not in 10 pages of Google search results and all the reddit posts with such titles mysteriously don't connect to Riddit's servers... hhmmm?????

I'd completely forgotten about this. It's so much off my radar now.

I like the game and play it but i am getting increasingly frustrated with their allocating resources to "features" that are unwanted or too early because they are not of any use to anyone at this stage of development, this instead of filling what's there, which is a lot, with stuff to do, like missions.
 
I honestly cannot see a full completed game ever being released, how many years has it been now? How many millions spent and still nowhere near completion? Yeah they've got some really fancy looking stuff but you could hardly call it a game from what I can see.

Making way too much money monetising the development to ever release a full game.

There’s no incentive, people still keep throwing money at them keeping them all in a job. It’s a sweet money train with too many people far too invested to stop giving them more cash.
 
I hope it comes out. I *think* it will come out... But if it doesn't and CIG were to liquidate on the bright side they have some grade A assetts. Maybe frontier develipments could buy them up and slurp them into elite ;)

If game development ever stopped, the IP would stay with CR and we'd see movies. You can tell he's chomping at the bit to do a TV series or movie with this.

Was it it 2015, late 2016, fall 2017, early 2018 and then late 2019?

I'm confident it'll be out before the current in-game date: 2949 :D

Honestly we're still years away, think I said that years ago too. Many of us still dip into it now and then but it's hard to keep interested when there's no gameplay loops.
 
Watching this thread is more fun than star citizen :p

I should have another go now I've upgraded gfx card and a new ssd to install it on.

I did invest in a F7C-M a few years back, is it still a good ship?

The only fun thing to do in this game is kill @humbug. To be fair that is fun in any game. But after hours of work to get to each other due to crashes, bugs and server outages it's extra funny.
