.23 is the most I played since my first pledge two years ago in that I played for a good two weeks consistently. I remember grinding with the vulture to get four or five ships on my wishlist all with different functionality or “gameloops” until I found there was absolutely nothing to do with them or the loops that did exist were not interesting or complete. I think the thing that I liked most was calling for my ship, watching the hanger doors open to the stars and it being a flight simulator for space but then the novelty of that ran out as most of the locations have mixed performance and graphics and most of all I wish they took a more realistic approach with their ship design and not such cartoony ones.

Space Marshal here. My wallet is closed. First time in years I'm not buying anything for IAE. MM, slow space combat speeds and CIG not listening to feedback for a year and instead they slowed down speeds even further. SQ42 development has seemingly compromised Star Citizen by pulling developers away from SC and building features in a vacuum that didn't have any feedback from the backer community until we got our hands on it. Thats why this past year has felt like SC has taken major steps backwards. IMO the build last year (3.21) was better in almost every way (except star map) than the game we have today.

I have all ships I need, I just switch between pve, pvp,mining,trading,travelling e.t.c when I have the mood. I have 1500$ pledge and 40K$ worth fleet bought ingame for 50$ MMOPixel aUEC package. Yet before they broke mining in 3.24.2 I did hand mining and ROC mining just for fun. Yesterday I set up second account on my laptop, put it next to my PC screen and for an hour harassed Hurston security around Everus in Hammerhead solo, piloting with left joystick on PC screen and shooting from turret with mouse on laptop screen ))) When Pyro will be released - I have a lot of plans for RP exploration and for pvp bountyhunting. And I definitely will try the trick with laptop on Polaris which I thanks to myself bought for store credits this spring and then melted. I was very happy to find it at my cemetery of melted ships, I even forgot I did pledged it.

I personally really want CIG to feel a bit of pressure. They are very comfortable selling ships but releasing mediocre content. It feels like we get 5% of the content CIG are capable of releasing. Why do we need to wait for Pyro to get more planetary locations and missions. We have Stanton. It feels Barron. I feel like SQ42 is some cover to not focus on gameplay systems. We pay these people their salary, and get drops of what we could be getting in return.

If they didnt want funding to plateau then they shouldnt have spent the past year destroying all the moral the community had. MM split the community because a lot didnt like how it slowed the game down. Then came along the cargo update has less people that like it than MM (not to mention the ATL$ debacle) as it showed how bad a lot of "cargo" ships are at carrying cargo - oh and it slows down the game. Ship "balance" decisions are another thing that got people up in arms, from the corsair and the redeemer changes to decisions made during the development of the CL thats now making that ship miserable to use too. And to top it off you constantly have stuff like the "speculation" citizen thing too. All these things popping off in the space of a year. Honestly unless IAE is bad in terms of funding I dont see CIG getting their act together and stopping marketing, balance/"gameplay experience" teams, and tier 0 implementations of stuff from further ruining the game.

12:45 This is why I really like the Starlancer MAX, because it was a ship that was designed with the current cargo gameplay in mind. People complaining about it not having a big cargo capacity, like I don't even care about that. I like that it has a cargo elevator that you can easily store majority of your cargo onto, the vehicle bay having additional cargo grids with a wide ramp to fit more. Its a ship that makes it easier to get your cargo into and I love it. people may hate that it has large crew quarters, I personally love that, it makes this ship feel like a home, like the Serenity from Firefly. I can roll with my boys in this ship and it'll never feel cramped.

Last year they sold the first round of Zeus as well as both the Drake Cutter Rambler and Scout that was a big moneymaker. And those were more affordable than this years Star Lancer. Now Ships always tended to sell more than ground vehicles so the Argo CSV is probably a small impact unless they were bought as LTI tokens. Lastly, a lot of people that wanted the Zeus already bought it them in the first round. I don't believe the Galaxy was sold until November so you can't really include that one. For this October to have done better they would have needed to also release a Small ship of some sort before a IAE.

I dont know how quick it now take to create a ship from scratch, but i remember hearing that the price in manpower to create a ship in SC would be around 150 000usd for small ships and up to 750 000 for huge ships so from their funding try to estimate how much mney goes in ship developpement and creation probably a good 20 percent of the budget, plus if you count that they probably take i will estimate 50 percent of the budget for SQ42... your lest with 30 percent of the total funding for creating every other thing around SC.. its less than that i forgot to think about server cost and their office cost.

The Consolidated Outland has no ship bigger than the Nomad and they want to make a capital-sized ship simultaneously with the Perseus? give me a break it gray box at Citizen-con is made from Drake and Argo access that's why it looks so industrial, if they want to speed up, they already took the spot for the galaxy instead so it could share access between 3 RSI capital ship

Realistically, it wouldn't be hard to modify the cargo module and turn it into a drone bay. There's really zero reason to not have the base building module/functionality in 1.0 if the Galaxy is in game (which supposedly it's coming after the Perseus).

The StarLancer wasn't that hot, it was just "Ok", the ground vehicle felt like a joke, the Zeus was decent so I am guessing most of their sales were from that.

I feel like some big numbers are on their way for IAE though, plenty of people want to buy the Pioneer after CitizenCon, and that's a big boy.

I want NPC crew, private servers, and mods.

The game is just a fucking slog to play now, even when you get lucky and have a bug-free experience. With nothing truly new added in forever there's really no reason at all to play it - and by extension spend money. Frankly I've felt this way for years now, but I always had some glimmer of hope that all the new tech would really turn things around... but all indications and evidence are pointing to 4.0 being a fucking unmitigated disaster. I think a lot of people are feeling exactly the same way I am, and the wallets are indefinitely closed till this game actually gives us a reason to play it. I have managed to sell off most of my shit over the years, but I still am in for ~$500. I really don't think I'm ever going to see a real return on that money in a version of Star Citizen that I actually think is fun, and I guess I've made my peace with that... but fuck if that isn't a bitter pill to swallow. The hype is dead, and CIG's naked attempts at extorting players with existing fleets to cough up more money by fucking with their purchases are just gross at this point.

@@coldshock5181 Many years ago CIG said that NPC crews would be part of SC and that each additional starter package on an account would translate into an NPC crew member. Now, CIG's news is that NPC crew will be absent from 1.0 (whenever that comes; maybe 2026 concurrent with the first part of SQ42?) and who knows when the feature may appear. Hence long-term backers with a good memory are critical and writing they will give no fresh money to CIG. If that commitment holds then CIG has to replace all such lost revenue. But if newer players see buying ships as P2W and so won't spend those people won't replace lost sales. Cosmetics are too cheap to bridge the gap. A subscription won't be acceptable unless SC is reliable and, additionally, multiple comments on multiple creator channels suggest long-term backers will walk if a subscription model is implemented.

Another thing regarding new ships being pushed with no gameplay behind them. I'd rather their developers get completely split up. More going to capital ship development, one team doing ships and the rest of the developers working on the GAME and GAMEPLAY. With the ship designers AND the GAMEPLAY designers having weekly meetings discussing what each is doing, possible gameplay loops and how the game designers can work with ship designers to create cool new stuff. Have one mega patch per year right before Citcon. I bet they'd sell more and with patch cycles WELL TESTED, the PU wouldn't be a smoldering mess. Right now theres no reason to even have the game installed just like what happened with 3.18 because it doesn't run for more than 5 minutes at a time. CIG is pumping out these garbage ships, with no gameplay loops people are supposed to create their own content for in a server that might survive for 10 minutes.... Normal players take hours to setup their roleplaying ships to do a single mission... CIG is so out of touch. Management needs to get completely shakin up AGAIN.

I just can’t listen to anything Montoya says once you know his one of those krypto video people, buy this “krypto and we can all make money”. Once you understand that mentality it completely makes sense that he wants you to invest in these star ships. Don’t give cig money for star ships that do nothing. Give them money for making a game. Reward them for adding orgs 2.0 or base building game play, or reputation that works. Don’t fund other ship that does the same as another concepted ship that they just haven’t made yet. My biggest fear is cig doubles down on sq42 even more when it’s not that that has funded this game. It’s the pu.
