I honestly feel like they should just release Squadron 42 now and then do Star Citizen. Let us have the ships and combat in an Ace Combat style game just in case Star Citizen never release.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's the plan. They started with star citizen being the focus and then 2 years ago they pulled most of the staff to finish SQ42. Now that they're in the "polishing phase" for sq42 they have started pulling people back to work on star citizen. Next year is going to be big for star citizen, very very important core tech being implemented and a deluge of content should come with the reallocation of workers to star citizen.

Source: I'm literally obsessed with star citizen/sq42 and know too much about it, send help. (My wallet is ok lol)

Ah yes next year will be amazing for Star Citizen. I wonder when it will finally come...

"Hi, I'm actor Mark Hammill. You might remember me from such unfinished games as Untitled Star Wars Game 3 and Untitled Star Wars Game 7."

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Yes, he is a major character in the single player campaign along with Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, Gillian Anderson, and others who provided voice acting and facial performance capture.

Public broadcaster radio just struggled to raise $500k for charity, and then get to see this bullshit.

Maybe they should put out a product people want to pay for.

Is it worth pirating to play it single player today and get an idea of its current state? Or is the game online only?

Spacebourne 2 immediately comes to mind. It's only one dude doing everything, so it's both amazing and lacking at the same time.

Also Evochron Legacy, a real passion project of a space sim.

The singleplayer experience, called Squadron 42, is not yet available. Online only for the public alpha test.

As to whether or not it's worth it, you can be the judge. They have multiple free-fly events each year (although the most recent one just passed I think) where you can download the game and play for a whole week for free to see if it's for you. I would wait for the next one to come up and try it then, if you are curious about it.

Generally, I try to steer people away from it even though I'm a fan of the game myself because it's just so rough around the edges and the initial mystique and wonder of exploring a vast solar system quickly wears off and gets replaced by tedium and lost progress due to bugs and glitches, so it doesn't make for the most enjoyable experience. YMMV.

I'd say just wait for SQ42 to come out, however long that may take. Possibly within the next few years if we're being optimistic.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which do you wager we'll have sooner? SQ42 or sustained fusion?

Cause it's the game dev that never ends it just goes on and on my friends…

I’m so happy that I’m on the sidelines of all this. I think watching is significantly more enjoyable than being part of it.
