But there is nothing to play. NOTHING. World persistence between updates occurred last month and still more wipes will follow.
And this 7 years after it should have been added in the game given the nature of it?

Or is game trying to go between 2 planets, taking half hour going through interdiction by the authorities and this for the sake to make the game feel "big".

And do not get me started with the bugs making 3.9 barely "playable" in the form of getting the ship for a drive.
Thousands of disconnects with "error 30000", server crashing constantly and when someone lucky soul manages to log in stable for an hour, then half time is spend on QT to jump between Everus to LOR. Assuming you are lucky and you didn't got kicked out when you joined QT or died because of it from some mysterious bug. How about the prison bug where you get completely stuck and neither kiosk can accept the ore making impossible to continue physically play the game.

Is this a "playable" game?
And don't start me with the game content 7 years and $300,000,000 later.

Doubt you played it then lol.

Have not had a crash yet on 3.9. I've crashed my ship if that's what you mean lol

Still, there's no rush. It probably is a far better idea to wait and see what happens.

Very funny joke.

Surprised there has not been more referral talk to get the free buggy car.

During Alpha 3.9’s launch week, we have a special offer for you and your friends.
As a time-limited special bonus, if your friend becomes an active player by obtaining a Game Package (minimum value of USD 40$ on the Pledge Store) by May 11th (EOD 11:59 PM PTD), you’ll both receive a Greycat Buggy. As usual, anyone registering with your personal code will automatically get 5,000 UEC, plus you get a Recruitment Point for our regular referral program.

Rather misleading information cheapest game package I can find is £43.20 so does that mean I get a game package worth $40 for £43.20 ?

it seems to bother you a lot. can only assume you invested more than you should have.

Nope. Just the AMD ship from 2013, which give access to everything

LMFAO at the wildy exaggerated **** you talk, @Panos...

1: There is NOTHING to play? Oh dear... That's too stupid to even bother replying to.
2: There may well be future wipes. And?
2: It takes you half an hour to get between planets? No, it doesn't. Even the two cheapest starter ships take less than 7mins from PO to Microtech with stock QT drives.
2a: The QT cop interdiction thing isn't really a thing anymore, and it didn't make anything take "Half an hour" when it was.
3. Yes, 30k crashes and odd bugs are a thing. No, the server is not "crashing constantly".

Stop being such a hysterical drama queen.

@Malevolence @Darujhistan
Do you even own the game?

Exaggerating and I am drama queen? Why you do not go to Reddit or official forums? Hundreds upon hundreds the individuals who complain about the same things I did. Stop having the head in the sand. Except if Roberts pays you to prop the game in this forum (aka shilling), you have no reason to show such loyalty trying to attack without valid argument those who point the problems with the prototype tech demo you call "playable game".

Own the game? No I don't. What I do own is an account that enables me to access a tech. demo that is being used to line the pockets of charlatans. Not that it's any of your business, but I actually had two accounts - my original account from the Kickstarter which I managed to sell to a colleague a while back (who is now badgering me to buy it back off of him) which left me with the second account that a mate gave me when he purchased two.

Some people enjoy sandbox experiences for their gaming rather than being told exactly where to go and what to do.

This!

The game has tons of stuff u can do and tbh, if they ironed out all the bugs and game mechanics, they could release this as an alpha/beta already with the amout of planets and its sizes and missions already

But it’s way, way short of what they should have by now. Anyone who disagrees is blind or truly devoted to the church of RSI.

Just reading through their community page.

Found this

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/51473/thread/all-gone

then you click on the link to the answer/response and it gives you a 404 error page can not be found. "YOU ENTERED A BLACK HOLE!"

I was only ever interested in Squadron 42 and just checked to see how far its got, couple of lame MP modes and a trailer for your $42.

Their website says its released as an Alpha ?

I think the answer to this post sums up the game perfectly.

So the message I got was keep trying the game dont give up on it despite all the bugs ? You dont agree then ?

i did not get that all.

I am not sure what the OP of that most was on about either? he asked for more noob friendly guides like telling him you cant modify rental ships etc.

he did not even have a crash and managed to make 150k *you star out with only 8k* so a *noob* like him actually has experience prbably 10h or more of gameplay without a issue besides trying to modify a rented ship.

Dont u get my point? the game is playable. you can definetly experience it and do a lot of stuff on it now.

THey just need to iron out the bugs and add server meshing and where to good to go for alpha/beta.

Haters here are rehashng the same argument for he last 4 years and u do know that with each quarter update patch, they imrpove/add things, not degrade it.

2 years time it will be in beta/ mark my words, they are close, 4-6 and it will be live

I read the roadmap for 3.9 and the comments. They are taking stuff off the build list as "temporary" but then its never seen again so "not degrade it" is arguable.

I dont really care for the arguements for or against I just wanted a fully complete Squadron 42.

Umm what did they take out of 3.8??

Nothing...

They cant take it out if they didnt put it in the first place. Dont try and start an arguement with me I was being neutral you seem to be spoiling for a fight. If you actually read what I said and read the roadmap this is proposed build stuff they are taking out. "Taking stuff off the build list" is not the same as taking something out that is complete.

I'll exit stage left.

No.

Tell me what "current" existing items did they remove that was in 3.8 that is no longer in 3.9...?!?!?!?!?

Calm down everyone and just enjoy your own games. I don’t own Star Citizen, but I enjoy keeping up to date with all the latest, but there are quite obviously (not just here, check out the Star Citizen Reddit) having a wicked time with a game that is constantly being worked on.

I never understand when people call it a scam, when there are thousands of people enjoying the game, even in its current state.

Don't know what you're on about.
A Greycat is a mere 5k in game. I don't need any help with that.

Yes, you are being a drama queen.
I've answered your main points DIRECTLY. You've chosen to ignore that and cry about being attacked.

Shilling? LMFAO... I'm the guy that says this:

However, you have to go into this knowing that for all the cool, pretty and fun stuff there is, you're going to have to tolerate a lot of buggy stuff that WILL annoy you.

If you want a more finished article for your money, it's best to wait and see.

While I'm loving it, play it daily and have no regrets, I'm not sure I'd recommend it to a friend as things stand. There is plenty to do and it's lovely to look at, but it is still an alpha, and you may want to wait and see how things develop before you invest.
Right now, there are a fair few bugs, but it's improving and most of us just deal with it and have a lot of fun regardless.

Yes, I'm obviously a paid shill with my head in the sand.

No, I'm just a guy that actually plays the game on a daily basis with other people. Of course, you know better...
It's like arguing with flat earthers.
