EVE, Elite: Dangerous, Space Engineers, no game will give you what Chris Roberts can promise. 😉

I think flying around in space with no actual gameplay features passes as the most advanced game in the industry these days 😃

Damn, I’ve missed my chance to do this. I’ve already PLEXed two accounts for the entire year. Any suggestions?

Plex mine for the year if it’ll make you feel better. I don’t mind, anything to help a fellow player.

If you all plex your account you’re more than veterans from EvE.  
Only way for me to plex is to extract my character.

I understand why you’re all that stubborn about Star Citizen. Can only guess none of you is younger than 40+ years old.

Stubborn isn’t the right phrase, I’d say increasingly sceptical. And that’s as someone who’s put in for SC, so I really do hope it gets realeased properly eventually.

I’d say I’m hesitant and skeptic. Graphics and mechanics isn’t everything. When a game is entirely graphics then it’s a blender. When a game is entirely mechanics then it’s nerdy. When it has both then it’s still only a shooting star. While EVE doesn’t have the latest graphics does it have next to the mechanics something very important, and those are it’s game masters, who do not interfere with what goes on in the game, but allow for the meanest and most evil game-play the players can come up with, and it’s seen by the gamemaker as being “all good”. That’s something you simply don’t see with a lot of other games. So whatever goes into SC, when it doesn’t have this kind of oversight (opposed to having control-freakish game master overlords), then it just won’t be as mature as EVE is.

Could be SC becomes as big or bigger than WoW only space-themed of course. It wouldn’t make me want to play it for even a day, not even for free.

I manufacture pretty much whatever I choose to, it’s all about the throughput.

Nope. Industry, hauling and trade. Used to have these as my signatures on the old forums:

The very early days in 2009.  
 ![TWHC](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/a/7/a7c5e736d0f5fd77abf6e7861fe11b34d2453843.jpg)

Some time later, hit by the spreadsheet bug.  
 ![Moving_star_dust_EB](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/2/6/262a5baa3d0dd81663e4a8289d8390712ebc5d85.png)

Now I’m mostly winging it, because all I really learned from the spreadsheet mania was that when one puts an honest amount of hard work into providing others with a service, then there is always a profit to be found.

There’s the hardware issue, and the payment issue, but as a designer myself and in courts, including military tribunals and other, do have other issues for and with the design.  
I am also working with , or rather studying , Middle-East courts.  
Today , I learned something about Levant being in Syria, or, in around Syria, but certainly not in Syria.  
In fact, it’s a specific region in Middle-East.  
But if I paid, I would have to manage to load it from a store nearby.  
The same store which used to run EVE Online and that I would have to call or see another manager, as the last one had no clue where or if I would be able to run the patch without damaging his store multi-user bandwidth.

Didn’t boot up 3.2 yet will do so in couple of days did try 3.1 few weeks back was happy to notice both my cards are running again so i could enjoy full eye candy took a constellation warped it to low orbit,landed got out and admired it in a shadow of a rock pylon it was parked next it is drop ass gorgeous.  
And that you have ability to point to something and actually go there is huge…or dream of what this game could deliver is huge…after all this years of development and taking money what i can do now just seems too little in my opinion.

when does alpha ends 3.? its a legit question i don’t follow development closely.

Just give a try to this last SC patch, in every servs i’ve been on, the general feeling was “They have our trust back” because the performance are here, optimization coming, and there is no more crashs. You can actually enjoy it, not test it
