How did he fuck you on that one? They announced the split weeks in advance of it happening and Ive never heard of a single case where an existing order had Squadron 42 revoked from its package.

Report me if I continue to console war
I watched some recent gameplay of this, it has great visuals.but they have not done the best job in explaining what the game is about. maybe one day when its on console I'll get it.

If they didnt explain what the game is about they wouldnt have $170 million raised. Its never coming on consoles.

The game is split into various parts. Each one about something different.
If by "they" you mean the people in the particular gameplay video you watched, then sure.
Chris Roberts explains what its about multiple times throughout development and I imagine he will again.
If you literally type, "What is Star Citizen" into the search bar, some youtube videos should pop up, among them, the official video.

Not too shabby, eh?
Anyways, the thing that pulled me in years ago was the thought of hitchhiking my way through the galaxy performing odd jobs in exchange for passage on other people's ships. Meeting new people and making friends/enemies that way.
This video is really old, but the message is still there.

It's not dead. People just stopped posting because people that didn't know what they were talking about were bitching all the time.

I wish they had less artists and more network engineers. The entire game HINGES on their Network optimization. They have more than enough art/ships til long after release.

I thought it was because everyone moved to the 400+ post thread on the other site using that as an excuse to get away from the people who don’t know what they were talking about, I think they may also of taken more refuge in their orgs discord.
Just saying.

Theres a free fly weekend going on right now. The two base starter packs are on sale for US$35 or theres a combo of the Mustang/base game/SQ42 for US$55
Tried it out and this was my experience:
Im watching others stream it and playing it. I dont understand how they're getting 50fps+ and at the same settings on similar hardware or in some cases, lower hardware.
Ill continue to wait and use the free fly weekends to test the games progress before i spend any money.
Tried it out and this was my experience:
- Still no individual gfx settings. Only low-very high presets.
- 30-35fps regardless of settings ( Im told its a server issue).
- Selected ship, went out to the hanger, hopped in ship. Game crashed.
- Uninstalled.

There is an offline mode where you can fly around solo or against ai. This one does not connect to the servers and therefore allows you play in 60+ fps. I can get 90+pfs on a 1080ti. Also, new servers without much people on tend to run better as well, ~60fps.
When connecting to servers, they have the problem at the moment that everything is handled at once. Server sends you data of stuff you are not even interested in because it is happening so far away. They are rewriting this code (from the engine) and it should be released with the next updates. This means the performance will get better even on your hardware.
Crashes are expected as this game is still in early alpha. It was unfortunate that it did crash immediately for you. Some can play for hours without a problem. Sometimes it crashes rather soon. Regardless, I am not playing the game right now. But I see the potential it has. I would wait until true beta where the game is feature complete and more importantly much more stable and then get back at it again. At least that is what I am doing. I just follow the development maybe hopping in the game once a huge patch comes out and see what has changed.

Call me stupid, but how do i enter the solo mode. I redownloaded it as i felt like a hack for bailing on a single crash that i mentioned.
Appreciate any assistance. This is the closest to my dream game of a Starship Troopers/RoughNecks CGI cartoon that ive come so far in gaming.

It should be in arena commander. I am 100% sure what it is called but it should be something like solo or free flight. This let's you just fly around two maps and get to know your ship. Then there is also vanduul swarm which is against ai. There is the option to play multi-player in arena commander, with your friends as well. I do not know how this plays as it has been a long time for me.
