This is a 2024 e-clutch CB650R with the old style shrouds installed, including the Black edition shroud faceplate and decals.

I ordered all the parts from the diagram, but it turns out I didn't need all parts, as they're either already (re-used) on the e-clutch version, or come pre-installed on other ordered parts.

Parts needed:

Parts not needed:

I recommend google searching for each part as the price and shipping varies massively. The bulk of parts came from bikerz bits but the shipping total was more than the parts themselves, still cheaper than going only local sourced though.

For the shiny logo on the tank, it's from the black edition:

The existing tank sticker is under the clear coat but the decals from the black edition are EXACTLY the same size as the sticker. Each letter and wing part come as separate stickers on the same sticky back paper, so you just carefully place each one-by-one over the existing sticker.

A very popular post criticizing the current state of 3.24 which has since gone missing (under the pretense of "brigading") - what better platform to continue the open and uncensored discussion on than Lemmy?

Original post: Here we go again. I deleted Star Citizen some months ago because I was tired of endless bugs, server issues, invisible asteroids, the Hull-C appearing in random places, and many other "beautiful" things Star Citizen could offer.

I thought, "Okay, let's wait for the next patch; maybe there will be improvements." (Silly me.) And yesterday, I installed it again.

The real greatness of Star Citizen developers is their unique ability to create more bugs in each new version than there were before.

First, the cargo elevators. After a couple of minutes of playing, I lost my first container, which fell through the floor.

After some painful minutes, I managed to load my 8 SCU container with some stuff from Orison and brought it to Seraphim. I placed the container into the elevator's grid and sent the elevator down.

And... my container vanished inside the greedy station. I searched for it in various interfaces for some time without any luck, and then I gave up. "Okay, let's do some bounty missions," was my next idea.

I accepted the ERT mission around Yela, and as you can guess, that was broken too. No mission marker appeared for the bounty. Maybe they decided to make the game so realistic that we have to find bounties in asteroid belts without any clues. But no, it’s just another bug.

"Okay then, maybe the cargo missions work?" So I accepted the trial haul mission to deliver 11 SCU from Seraphim to Orison. And guess what? Nothing worked again. The warehouse or the elevator had no idea of any mission. :)

So, we got another broken release. Even more things are broken, and new things simply don’t work. This is the start of a new cycle. Now, the backers will scroll through the spectrum, waiting for another "magic" release that will fix everything.

So basically, that’s how Star Citizen works.

And the "Shit of the Year" award goes again to Star Citizen.

I'm a developer myself and work in a company with a revenue of $7.0B in 2023. We created and support the API that is used by millions of US citizens. We create bugs as well—this is the unfortunate part of development. But people will simply stop paying if our API becomes too buggy or if we introduce more bugs than we fix with every new release. Because people are not idiots to pay for something broken.

That, of course, is with the exception of the most dedicated Star Citizen fans who are so loyal that they will downvote this post while eating a pile of shit from SC developers. Bon appétit, fellas. :)

why?
