HeiNRicH Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Anyone put any thought into it? Another friend is wanting me to get it. I'm unsure. It's had a long, tumultuous path so far. $45 gets a starter pack and ship.... I'm unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand0m_Her0 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Preface: I am a bit of a fanboy for star citizen so my opinion is heavily biased. Game: The game itself is probably the most hyped up game ever. It tries to tackle so much and if it is all fulfilled it will be the largest most complex fps/mmorpg space sim game ever. The game developers actually hired a team of physicists just in order to properly mimic the movements of spacecraft and planets. Some of the facets are just mind boggling, like insurance on vessels for example. Try hard to not blindly jump onto the hype train like I did, it has been years of waiting. Content thus far: The game is still alpha, currently it is at 2.5 with 2.6 being released in the coming months. 3.0 is the stated benchmark for its official release. Right now there is a semi-persistent universe that gives a small glimpse into the game, progress gets reset every dot patch however. Flying and combat in that game is amazingly fun and complex. You don't just fly, you have to spend time learning the unique sub systems of each craft and power constraints for example. Appeal: The game is like Eve wrapped in a FPS, multi-crewed ships, specialized ships and etc that according to devs will literally let you do anything you want. You can make money bounty hunting, charting and exploring the galaxy and even mining as well. Not to mention the FPS shooter portion that will allow boarding of other ships. General Opinion: The game already imo, has tackled so much more then any other game to date. However, you have to take in account the games slow development.

HeiNRicH Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 My unsure turned into 'I now have a Mustang Alpha and am currently downloading the game'. I'm familiar with the timeline on the game, as an old Arma2/DayZ acquaintance of Deadman's and mine actually 'bought' a ship probably 2 or 3 years ago. Watching some youtube vids of online gameplay convinced me to fork over the $45 to try it out. Ask deadman how odd that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeiNRicH Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 29 minutes ago, Colin said: And your first impressions HeiNRicH ? Jump drive is worth the $45....... But seriously, I didn't get a lot of time last night to do stuff. The game is in pre-alpha, so there are bugs. I am playing with a couple of Firefall buddies, one of which has a Constellation Andromeda(5 person ship) so we tried to use it and stay together. The game being what it is, I got ejected from my turret during a dogfight on our first run and when I was able to re-enter the ship, it bugged out the ship. We restarted, attempted the same mission again, were able to complete it, but some ass-hat decided to pvp us as we were preparing to leave the area. I was ejected again, the ship bugged worse, causing only fore and aft movement, and the 2nd turret was unresponsive. We regrouped, took separate single-pilot ships to another mission, completed it no problem. We were going to do another mission, but it was time for me to hit the sack.

HeiNRicH Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Had some weird stuff happen before, usually can't figure out why, so I play something different, and the next time it's back to normal. New patch, 2.6, is supposedly coming on the 22nd.... But they've already delayed it twice for a week each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeiNRicH Posted December 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 2.6 has been released. I'm going to update while I'm gone over the weekend, probably won't get a chance to try it until Monday or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeiNRicH Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Finally got 2.6 updated and gave it a whirl yesterday. It's still buggy, and glitchy, and rage inducing. I died 3 times trying to reenter a friend's ship in open space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertwalker Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Sorry to Necro this thread, but are folks still doing stuff since 3.0.1 came out? I have been having a blast doing cargo runs and just bombing around the 'verse. Would love to have a couple folks join me on my Constellation and go wreck some pirates.
