Star Citizen: Even as a millionaire, there are things out of reach. Star Citizen: many covet, few achieve. Star Citizen: That's where financing comes in! This guys just keeps on giving.

Based on some of the more extreme stories shared here and in the other thread, it sounds like Star Citizen has indeed kneecapped several people in real life, at least figuratively.

I think we missed this: New machinima was released last month, a sequel to the first Overlocked "feature-length" film (which was a not-at-all-excruciating 90 minutes). This one's "only" 50 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4NO89TrRgs Here's some reviews: quote:Peak cinema. Nomad CONSOLIDATED! quote:This just blew me away. Netflix quality. You guys should contact them. For real. quote:the words "phenomenal", "amazing" and "awesome" truly do not even begin to come close to describing such works of art, thanks to you and all involved for such absolute epic adventure... as always, I look forward to the next one quote:Adds new meaning and depth 2 the word amazing indeed. Got so lost in it the CGI became the norm well done indeed.

Anyone with a credit rating over 600 is too good with money to be interested in a Star Citizen loan, I suspect.

Just think though, when the game releases (lol), they barely need to put an economy system in, just the most rudimentary buy and sell poo poo. Because whatever they do, the players are going to storm in, go full capitalism, exploit every loophole they can find, and tank the value of everything in the game. That one guy will be plugging away sticking to his 400K/year, and everyone else will have enough credits to buy a hundred Idrises.

Worf posted:its kinda weird that some clown thinks you should need either a mortgage or have it take years to buy a ship when the game is already P2W anyway The most fervent backers have always loved the idea of having a surplus of space poors around who can't afford ships of their own and must therefore sign up to man turrets and scrub floors on the Idrises of other, richer, better men. Sure, for the most part they pay all that money for a jpg because in their broken brains it legitimizes their dreams of playing Star Citizen (and their dreams that Star Citizen would be a game they'd want to play), but the ones who bought the big multicrew ships are also paying (they hope) for the admiration and respect of all the people who can't even afford a lovely little space motorcycle. When the game exists and has a playerbase and organizations, they're going to be the popular kids, everyone's going to know their names and want to be their pals. You'll see. YOU'LL ALL SEE.

That's the perfect thing about Star Citizen, part of the grift is that there's a a whole 'simulated' economy where there are 10 times s many NPCs as PCs. So players will not, by design, by able to have a meaningful impact on the economy of the game. So it can stay being just rudimentary Buy/Sell with the complex simulation of the galactic economy determining the prices, RNG

They don't want to realise that they're morons.

It's not just that, they want to be able to push players into being crew in boring but necessary positions on their ships and they can't DO that if they can have fun independantly. They are assuming because they've paid that they get to be the ruling class.

If I recall, the guy that responded about players being the multi-millionaires already is leaning in the right direction as far as the lore is concerned. If you consider relative pricing it becomes fairly apparent that even the cheapest ships are massively expensive in in-game currency terms. A .50 calibre ballistic handgun is in the range of 1,000 UEC which is pretty close to current real-world prices in USD, maybe 1/2 price. Considering that the cheapest ship, like a Mustang Alpha, is 250,000 UEC it becomes pretty clear that owning any ship at all is already something exclusive to the 1% of Star Citizen society. If you own something like even a Freelancer outright you are definitely in the elite class. So every player has that as their starting point. What's-his-face would have a point if he was talking about the NPCs that are basically indentured servants but owning a ship makes you part of an exclusive class that has access to money-making opportunities that 99% of people would never get. So it's completely reasonable that players should be able to afford mid-range personal sized ships fairly easily. In conclusion, he's an idiot.

Trying to see if I understand you: You mean essentially that any and every Star Citizen player character is in the 1% of the “world” of Star Citizen, with only NPCs in the 99%. Correct?

Fidelitious posted:In conclusion, he's an idiot. Nah 100%. New players shouldn't be given a ship. Why should they be given something in a game to have fun in it, just because they paid to have fun playing a game. You should start the game penniless and naked on the streets, after years playing and putting in the hard hours, doing menial jobs for low wages you should be able to get your self up to a point where you can start working menial task on one of the spaceships brought by your superiors, the elite who brought a spaceship with real world currency.

Apollodorus posted:Trying to see if I understand you: That's how they have positioned things with their economy yes. If their economy makes any sense at all is another question. Presumably in-universe someone could gently caress up enough to never be able to afford a spaceship for the rest of their lifetime but, being a game, they provide you quests to get you back to a starting ship. As an aside on "economy makes no sense", I'm seeing now that you can buy guided missiles for less than 100 UEC? What a world. Fidelitious fucked around with this message at 15:46 on May 15, 2024 |

A very good question which is generally ignored by the citizenry. Although the large multi-crew ships should presumably not be very common.

With whales being the ones that are more likely to stick around over time I wouldn't be surprised if the cheap ships vs expensive multi crew ships ratio is complete screwed already.

Apollodorus posted:So then where will the player character crew members come from, if literally every player owns their own spaceship? well in theory this is a play with your friends cooperative gameplay thing. In a vaguely similar game like Empyrion, you fly around in your friends capital vessel so that you can all be in the same place, and its got a few fighters docked to it you can fly if you want and maybe a dropship or some hovertanks so you go attack a point of interest to loot it. then you go back to your mobile base to store your loot and heal up or respawn or rearm or w/e you need to do. most ships in star citizen are pretty compromised in this respect though. they have limited ability to do a lot of those tasks. no medbay so they can't respawn. no hangar so it can't function as a base. not well enough armed to go attacking things. that's why cig has to come up with insane minigames like cooperative capital mining gameplay or SodaStream Simulator. this is where 'buy an Idris' comes from, because its the all in one that can on paper actually do what you need out of a co-op ship. its got a hangar, its got guns, its got medical, so its the hub that people can play around. one could argue that the other ships are all compromised just to make the idris look good and upsell it. of course this assumes that some particular whales even have friends. maybe they're gonna enlist their kid as a turret gunner then yell at them when they're too busy scrolling tiktok and everyone goes down in flames TheDeadlyShoe fucked around with this message at 17:46 on May 15, 2024 |

Everyone else on your ship permanently dies. Literally a one man genocide machine if you pilot capital ships. As such you are also mega rich if you can afford your own pod-piloted ship.
