They obviously didn't get enough money from the funding they've gotten. Give them a break man... /s

It's not so bad. They initially said that 3.18 will need much much more testing than previous patches because of new tech (persistent entity streaming or so) and Gen 12 renderer (Vulkan). Respect for devs for making it real.

The goal of this project is to never finish it so Chris Roberts and company can get money forever. I would call it a con but it's much more elaborate and clever than that. It's more like a subscription to an ideal, kind of?
It kind of reminds me of how religion works, you donate money and then you believe you can go to heaven. (This is a brute simplification obviously.) Here you donate money and then you can believe in the ideal of some amazing space sim game. Now that I think of it that's kind of like a cult.

Believe is always based on something. And here we go...
No suprise. Alpha 3.18 is virtually a new game. The entire network system has been reworked and the persistence system is beyond anything in gaming. Making every dynamic object persistent across databases/servers was an insane idea even in theory. The testing revealed some problems here, but it was to be expected that these would multiply exponentially with the large rollout. There are some angry nerds, the kind of people who took vacation time to play on a patch day. Most of the furious tend to be people who are utterly uninvolved, as is the case here on GAF. See you in 3.18.2

That's not true. 3.18 did need more testing and they were open about that from the start (PES Persistent Entity Streaming). Sure a rough launch, but it was expected that this was one of the only patches with a long test cycle.
Theaters of war was going nowhere, the network code couldn't handle the scale. For the same reason we didn't get big permanent expansions for nearly two years. The new network code is a core component and in development for nearly half a decade. It's fundamental for the ongoing and further development. That's also the reason why the whole community is so nervous over this patch. It's a really big thing, very important but complex patch. It was to be expected to blow up, even by the developers.
S42 is another story. I'm also pissed about it, poor project management and communications.

I know it’s easy to bash on Star Citizen but recently it seems like it’s taking shape
They seem to be having fun and reminds me of the early Eve online gangs.
Their new persistence system was tested and it shows it needs improvement, surprised pikachu face

Digital food sales should be started to those waiting inside their expensive space ships.
I remember watching the movie with the little green guy & I didn't like the show too much growing up with the old bald guy Picard & his android Data
I think it's technically released to prevent refunds while actually being under active development. The business side is confusing.

I hope some modders take all the ships, guns and armor from Star Citizen and put them in Starfield.

It's multiplayer, with a bit of an effort from them to make an intro. It's players' voices, not the game's.

What are you talking about?"Big and complex" is the spin this is going with now?
I cant even imagine the code they got on this project after all these years.
