[@nydabeats]

Login/Habs, inventory, transit/elevators, hangars, travel, missions. This is the foundation that all features and gameplay rest on, if this can be a smooth process the game will thrive. I think CIG is making the correct decision.

[@system1542]

Literally no point adding more features if those things are not fixed. Even if engineering or base building is added, doesn't matter if I can't get out of the space station or retrieve my ship.

[@MyMMC]

same. when it works i and my friends literally have fun for weekends on end.

[@drewbydoobydoo2918]

​@system1542 i agree, but I understand the dev's perspective. It would have been most ideal to optimize them years ago or to wait a couple of years to do it. Optimizing now is the worst of both worlds. It will take time that they could spend on adding the rest of the 1.0 features, and it is time wasted because everything will break again everytime they add one of those features. So it is going to keep breaking and needing fixing while slowing down the completion of the game. That is why most devs do bug fixing and optimization at the veeeery end. The difference is most devs aren't crowd-funded and marketing the product as "payable now." Rockstar gets to take 12+ years to make an ambitious game because they have veeery deep pockets and very aggressive P2W monetization in a successful game. They just don't show anyone the game until it is 2 months from release.

[@skankhunt9078]

I think they have nothing to offer so they went back on their promises of player housing and buildings and we will not get any of that .. this enrages me. The only thing I cared about is player settlements

[@keithent2447]

Who hurt you?!?​@@skankhunt9078

[@jeefuji]

12:50 As an engineer, I would argue that it's the best time to do it. Because 4.0 finally bring the real FULL tech foundation for SC (there will be evolution, but the gist of the logic is finally in with Server Meshing), and fixing any annoying but difficult bugs before that would have been a waste of money & time, since 4.0 new architecture would have created a tons more bugs anyway (& invalidating previous fixes, etc). They managed to get away with it until they reached their final tech milestone, fortunately, so now they can act upon bugs to have a solid game foundation to build upon.

[@a.j.6832]

tbh very deeply hoping you're right, this is the only way i can see them having a decent year

[@AdamMorgan-p2r]

I wonder how much dynamic server meshing will differ

[@Gigageorge]

@@AdamMorgan-p2r I dont think it will change that much. Dynamic server meshing is the ability to change the size of the server authorization area. Once you have systems being able to function with other servers it shouldnt be that much of a deal. One thing I could imagine being an issue is running into problems with the authority transfer being done too often and running into issues there but I am confident to say the engineers have probably thought about that already....

[@SETHthegodofchaos]

@@AdamMorgan-p2r that logic is mostly happening in the Replication Layer and less so in the engine itself. The logic (Atlas) that will drive dynamic server meshing is just a tiny part using already existing interfaces (Entity Authority and OCS) so there seems to be little changes to be done to make that work. I am sure there will be edgecases though where stuff has to be adjusted still. But I doubt it is going to be on the same level to what happened between 2015-2024 with OCS, PES and SM.

[@mythicallegendary3992]

It makes sense, why would they bug fix before 4.0 if it would just put them all back with the implementation of server meshing.

[@Make-Cents]

If the ship is sinking you throw a life preserve to your wife or family members. The rehiring of the wife, in my opinion, is a clear indication that the money is drying up. I hope I am wrong and it is just because she is the best person for the job. I love SC, I hope it becomes the masterpiece we all know it can be.

[@charactersmoreorthree]

I don't understand why they would have worked on stability five years ago without server meshing. The game is in production and released as a playground without core systems implemented. Balancing an unfinished game without core systems wastes time, effort, and money. They just released server meshing. It will take them longer than a few months to fix all the new problems created by introducing new systems. Now is when they should focus on stability.

[@HawkesGaming]

[@mane4582]

i am excited for the focus on story driven content i feel like it finally gives me a reason to play the game but i understand how u feel. cause i don't care about crafting, base building, etc i just want a good storyline to follow. So when the game was feature driven i barely had a reason to play. i just hope they will have solo player focus storyline a long with the mp ones. i really don't want to be force to group up with other players

[@imeliqt]

Bro it just sounds like you pledged for the wrong reason

[@mane4582]

@imeliqt i pledged for the tech and for SQ42. SC is just a place holder for me

[@imeliqt]

@ well why are you complaining about the direction of development within the PU? Doesn’t make sense, concern yourself with SQ42

[@mane4582]

@imeliqt huh? i wasn't complaining in fact i was saying how excited i am for the change in focus away from features and toward a story driven content.. i am solely concern with SQ42 and could care less about the incoming features. SC is placeholder for me till SQ42 comes out then i'll play that and move on. i have nothing to complain about and so i haven't so i'm not sure where u saw that i was

[@Chachi_Sanchez]

When its all fixed, if they add the ability to trade ships/armor/guns/items in some sort of MMO Auction Hall, then this game should play itself with friends. Fans of the game already do that, miners doing group mining with no actual goal except "more credits". Everyone is already pretending to play the game and having a decent time, so once it works nicely and we can get our friends to try it out w/o being embarrassed about it.

[@imeliqt]

No not “everyone” is pretending to play the game. Some of us are actually waiting for the point where we don’t have to play pretend

[@ToastyZach]

Bought this game a long time ago but I refuse to spend any more money or time on it until I can actually complete an objective without some annoying bs happening. Yesterday's 3 hour yapathon gave me some hope but we'll just have to wait and see. This game has the potential to be endlessly amazing, but they're running out of time to actually ship something worth our money.

[@wb2463]

13:52 I'm not generally a space game nerd or an MMO player, but when I first played SC it kept me entertained well enough to be my daily game for nearly a whole year. That's not bad, especially considering my usual taste in games is single-player linear narrative titles (NaughtyDog style) and there was even less gameplay/content in SC at the time. Plus I was solo for all of that time because I had no friends who played; if I'd been brought into the game by a friend who played regularly I'd probably still be playing on a very regular basis.

[@Tank16365]

I'll tell you what, 2 years ago when you could just be flying through space and come across a wreckage filled with illegal cargo so your friend get a salvage mission together while trying to dodge cops and pirates was a blast. It wasn't intended though so we all got punished and they took away the space police and random wrecked ships don't spawn anymore. Now what. Oh I'll just run cargo. With an elevator that's broke in a hangar that's broke.

[@BernerV]

Elevators are not..Fixed. Ship retrieval can fail, depends on server status. It is time to get this game over to Beta stage. We have contributed enough money for the development. The next contributers to this game are the new players at launch of Star Citizen.

[@RN1441]

Unfortunately, CIG has been so spendthrift that not only don't they have much money in the bank, but even after being showered by nearly a billion dollars in cash they have run up a huge backlog of owed ships.

[@imeliqt]

Beta??????are you mad. We dont even have half the shit to even make a proper game. All these fucking gameloops are tier zero. This is literally the most basic game ever. Without the bugs you will see how boring this piece of shit is. I agree we can do with more stability now, but moving into beta acting like we have complete features is insane.

[@alyeva457]

​@imeliqthow is the current game's features all that different from other space sims like elite dangerous?

[@dspartridge84]

Now they have server meshing it makes the right time in my mind. Let's hope they can do it now 😊

[@phaithless4055]

I don't have a fleet or time to do the mass crew campaign, but I do like to explore and imagine my story. I don't mind doing haul or whatever mission, but so many missions turn into dead for X game issue and not reclaim gear. There was a cool prison barge mission that vanished or one where you board a floating dead ship. Those were fun.

[@Brennan_White]

At this point I'd rather be bored instead of frustrated

[@kragsplace9691]

I think it’s a good idea to take the time to iron out issues. Think of all the things that need testing that we can’t even get to.

[@viktorgavorn4635]

been a nice experience to take a break from SC and play Elite again. Colonization is coming, and more importantly, the game works and is fun lol.

[@TwinTonyz]

The most rewarding gameplay I ever had was playing Minecraft Factions on a medium-sized server where the guild play and the resource management all came together, and the wars we fought, the friends we made, that lasted until today. The same people that I went to war with back then are the same people who've joined me in Star citizen, and we're all looking forward to the same thing. I was never a combat guy. I was never a good leader. I always wanted to be the number two, support, logistics, and that's what I was good at. I have a reclaimer and a pioneer because I want to do the same thing I've always done, ramp up the goddamn war machine, and know that people are going to use me as a springboard to victory.

[@mrgoat4233]

you mentioned adding trading, they should make trade hub space stations where people trade in kiosk with items in station storage. that would be incredible.

[@HughJazz69696]

hahaha, Sodium Michael....classic Voidy 😂

[@lopaka79]

Love the pupper ending

[@janschmid281]

Im glad they pushed server meshing out of the door. As far as i know all the core tech is in now(in tier 0 implementation) so now its "just" gamplay features to come. *big inhale*

[@mcknightsnow]

10:50. It’s about framing. You can’t make a game be perfect but you can put you best foot forward to make sure you key things work that set you apart if you could always As players, we will find something fun to do as long as that gameplay available for example, just making money mining, roaming pirate fleets, trading, salvaging. Let’s say we. Say forget missions for right now. If all the means of getting a ship and getting to your hanger work, all the other stuff won’t really matter as much. It does matter when there is many activities, but your roadblock as soon as you’re logging in, you can’t even convince someone to like come try this game out I’ll buy you a game package so you can at least play, But no you login and you’re stuck in your apartment because the elevators don’t work can you convince someone to give the game if that’s been an inherent issue for years? and then the game Debs announce hey this brand new ship cool I cannot get out of my apartment

[@AtlasM8]

its crazy to me how many things I absently mindly don't do because I know they will break my game. For me I have a list of fixes in my head when I run into a problem but for new players you just get stuck over and over and over again.

[@loganderrick7449]

You reacted to yourself reacting to yourself 😂

Prob focusing on fixing things now, cuz they no longer have the excuse of waiting for Server Meshing to be implemented

[@YouvBeenThumped]

WHO IS CUTTING ONIONS AGAIN!!!! I'm not crying! You're Crying! 24:38

[@Cloop123-s5z]

14:30 onwards sums up SC perfectly. there just isnt enough content to warrant the money/time sink. I can name several games that I have sunk thousands of hours in because they either have re playable content OR they are constantly adding content. SC even if they hypothetically fixed all major issues plaguing the game. the content still isnt in, tbh these issues simply should have been the focus 4+ years ago and right now the conversation we should be having is "what content do we add next" instead its, wait for tech x to be finished so content y can be added and I'm sorry but nearly $1billlion and 1200 staff and this is the best they can achieve? please dont let them anywhere near private investors because I'de be scared of what they could rinse from them

[@ironwarr]

Star citizen is not the benchmark for the money they've received, I'm sick of that assumption

[@alyeva457]

I mean the longterm goal is a proper mmo with player driven economy and factions and such. A lot of the current pve content seems more as a placeholder for future mission structures but then again for a new player just getting started there's tons of content to enjoy even if the main progression is solely about making money and buying ships, not to mention the multiplayer emergent gameplay aspect, there's at least a few hundred hours of content currently in the game for anyone to enjoy and I think that's enough for most people.

[@xaxac85]

I just want a stable experience so that my best friend, my coworker, my org, and myself can go have fun. Solo I love being a space trucker and doing bounty missions. With friends and the org I love doing bunkers, CZ, and events. Sadly every facet of the same right now is sooo damn broken that by the time we are able to get everyone rounded up and rolling we gotta start logging cause we gotta pay the bills.

[@jrsydvl7218]

It doesn't matter that freight elevators work or don't work. It's STILL tedious. I ask myself why I refine the ore instead of just selling directly to the refinery.

[@drewbydoobydoo2918]

That's why both should be an option. They need to make auto-loading and unloading more reliable and available at more locations, and they should add the option to just sellnunrefined goods to the refinery. Manual loading and unloading/refining should make a much higher profit, but make both options reliably available.

[@eavdmeer]

​@@drewbydoobydoo2918*add* the option to sell unrefined ore to the refinery? Tell me you've never mined without telling me you've never mined! Direct selling for less profit has been in the game for as long as I can remember. As for the question why you would refine, well, for higher profit and for a more interesting game loop. In your logic, why mine the stuff in the first place? Why even leave the hangar? They should just give you the credits, right?

[@drewbydoobydoo2918]

@eavdmeer I have mined, just not much, but I always got it refined, so I didnt realize you could sell straight from the bags untefined. I am not saying I dislike the manual loops, I much prefer the manual loading and unloading, and if I mine (which isn't my preferred loop), I'd always get it refined. I was just replying to OP's complaints. I am saying you can have both options to address OP's complaint, but that the more manual you go, you should make more money.

[@jrsydvl7218]

@@eavdmeer There's nothing about the freight elevators that makes anything interesting. There's no value in them in any way.

[@eavdmeer]

@@drewbydoobydoo2918 the second part was mostly addressing OP. The terminals to sell directly are to the left of the refining terminals at the refinery. I agree that there should be options and advantage to loading manually, either time or profit.

[@Eagle6Airsoft]

They are only fixing it now because the backers got noisy, if we didn’t complain things would just have been another normal do nothing year with broken elevators. That said it’s still that with just some more words.

[@Rikalonius]

2:00 Yes. I take great care when I'm not affected to not mention that because I have been on both sides of this. For a lot of 3.23 PTU cycle, I couldn't get in. At all. I seem to be doing ok now, but, as this video, and you noted, it's a lottery.

[@ceb1970]

Just gonna throw this out as a random idea, but one thing that Linux used to do was alternate the releases such that odd releases were for new stuff that might destabilize some things vs even releases that were intended to be fully stable. Perhaps CIG could do something similar?

[@Gofr5]

They absolutely need to make the game playable. I have spent ALL of my free time today (literally almost the whole day as I didn't have work today) trying to finish just my last phase 2 Pyro mission, and I was unable to do so. So many bugs each time I tried, either making the mission impossible to complete or just delaying me so much, such as the elevators not working and having to server hop to find working elevators. It's frustrating wasting your whole day on something that should have taken no more than 1 hour, tops! The fact that I was unsuccessful and still have to get it done at some point is the cherry on top of this crap sundae.

[@OctopusImaginations]

Surely the game will flow more once there are player made contracts?

[@SubprimePorcupine]

It's fun and games when you dodge everything, server hope 20 times to find good elevator, avoid getting destroyed leaving hangar by random invisible bug only to fall through the planet again, and again and again when you get to your destination. Just wait until cheats come into full focus in the game.

[@urfork1]

Imagine how many players they lost forever with how buggy the game was during the lockdowns. They lost me forever, it is only by luck that i was on 9 months medical leave and so bored, and also this game is exactly my niche that i had to give it a second try, and even then, after 2 days on 3.24 i was so frustrated with bugs and crashes that I was about to give up, when 4.0 released and I decided to give the game one final chance, and 4.0 was stable enough for long enough to keep me. Probably 100 million easily lost in those 5 years from players that dropped the game after trying it in 2020 and vowing not to pick it back up.

[@impressivevee3830]

In my opinion, delaying base building in favor of bug fixes is a HUGE blunder that will come back to bite CIG in the ass this year. Don’t get me wrong-I love it when this game works, but right now, there’s literally nothing to do. Bugs are only slowing the pace of your boredom. Base building, crafting ships, and creating equipment are going to become the ultimate Star Citizen experience. The game wouldn’t just centre around ships but around your base, giving you a compelling reason to log in every day (just like in Rust, DayZ, etc.). They should have just duct-taped the elevators, hotfixed some logging issues, and made a character repair system with a 15-minute cooldown. Then, they could have started investing heavily in base building while keeping the community entertained with events. A HUGE patch introducing base building in July or August would have generated a lot of hype, even with bugs-but who cares? They could have patched everything until the new year and then done a WIPE in January 2026 shouting “New year - New Dawn” all around the internet. And after that - patch the game to playable state.

Ironically prioritising bug fixing and stability is going to remove the best gameplay loop, for me anyway, of being a taxi service for players who got stuck at space ports and stations because elevators broke. It will be missed, but alas I am all for the bug fixing and stability focus this year will bring, I just hope CIG can also provide enough content to keep players playing. Adding stuff to a game that doesn't work is not ideal, but neither is polishing up game that has nothing in it to do.

[@saltemiketv]

Of course CR has made an executive decision to drag it out as long as possible, because money! Why finish the game, and end the cashgrab, when they can drag it out for another 5-10 years and rake in another 700m. It's good business, but bad for players. Kinda like a long drawn out rugpull. That's why it will take a full YEAR to squash the bugs. It probably could be fixed in a few months of hard work, but this 'fix' will take a year, because 'drag it out as long as possible for money'...

[@FollowTheFreeman]

We've been here before... Just like the switch to "staggered" development that ended up lasting less than a year, this is just another fake excuse to deflect from them not having anything to show for their time and our money.

This community's utter disbelief in CIG is absolutely hilarious to me. You'd figure that combined with videos like this would light a fire under CIG but it just doesn't. We should all stop buying ships and "pledging" to strike some real fear into Chris's soul. We got people buying $300+ ships when you cant even make it out of the hangar most of time. No wonder they think it's okay to leave these game breaking bugs. It's partly our fault in all honesty. We're literally paying their salaries and I can't even drop off a simple delivery without something happening lol. It's comical. No wonder people make fun of us as a community.

Fear? You really think he'd ve bothered if this fails? Nah, he'd just try again. Choosing not to spend is 100% your choice, but don't tell other people what to do with their money. I'd rather throw money at a game in perpetual development than spend it on triple a slop

[@thecannabistreatment7236]

@@Venhili Keep defending them buddy. Chris Roberts is laughing his way to the bank right now cause of people like you. Maybe he'll decide to fix the game after another goodnight sleep in his four million dollar mansion that you all paid for. And then got nothing in return. Poetic.

@@thecannabistreatment7236 nah, I don't expect the game to be fixed any time soon. All these people expecting stability right now are completely off their rockers. If they'd have shifted to stability earlier, they'd be even less far along than they are. Optimizing code creates rigidity in a system, which means every time you add something new, that code is going to have to be re-written. CIG just extended the development time by an additional 2 years by not focusing on delivering features, and it'll almost certainly bite them in the ass, because once the game is stable and people aren't fighting it to play, then they'll see that SC has the exact same problem as Elite. Mile wide, inch deep. Choosing to focus on stability now of all the possible times is going to affect Star Citizen negatively. There's about enough in SC to keep the average gamer busy for about a week, after that it starts to get pointless because there is still so much missing that would make it a game. The sole purpose of SC cannot be make money, buy ships. We need actual things to work towards, player housing (apartments, building interiors stuff) base building, engineering for maintaining your ship and gear, a real reputation system, StarSim to keep the economy from getting out of whack, insurance for ships and components, unique item recovery, the list goes on and on, and these are all things that are genuinely important to the success of SC. Without those features, it can't even be called a game. It'd just be a really stable tech demo with zero purpose.

@@thecannabistreatment7236 in other words, 2025 is going to be a very long, very boring year regarding SC's development, since they made it a point to say they're not pushing as hard on feature development as they have in the past. Probably not going to be engaging with SC much until Engineering is actually a thing. Until then, SC is effectively dead to me

[@HyperLethalNova]

2:00 bro that is literally you that does this

[@Valium_x]

Just make it fun, no more features FFS.

[@sfreak1990]

Honestly the gameplay isnt there. No one should buy this game until serious progress on playability has been made. Btw the devs LOVE to ban people.

[@durtyred86]

So mike, is it time to switch from being mad about bugs not being fixed as they continue to release content, to being mad about a content drought as they focus on clearing bugs...?? 😂😂

[@fred00989]

Yeah, they can continue what they want to do and see what will happen after 10years😂

[@eathansx]

Where do i sell my acc?

[@Squeech.007]

cig exploring ai supported npc now.. i mean those ideas are all great but when does this feature creep end? why not go down a road to release and then After having a working fun game adding along new stuff... geez

[@nrogado]

Shut up and just buy more ships! LOL

[@tentacle_love]

2018!

[@hirofortis]

Sorry, but just becasue you had an issue and someone says its not happening to them, it doesn't mean that what they are saying is not true. :( You are both correct.
