Thanks!

I'd like to change my profile name to match my current SC in-game name (Mentalic). This possible?

I saw this video linked and felt it was quite well done. Really does a fine job of quickly summing up the development of modularity in SC from 2014 to now. It is not complete, of course. There are many more videos out there (showing off Caterpillar module prototypes and the like) but this is...

I passed on it. The LTI fomo CIG is pulling is plain unethical and these devs are increasingly sounding like used car salesmen. I will wait for the modularity in my CAT, 600i and Vanguard.

I see alot of similarities between SC and certain other released live service games. Let's take DCS for example. Like SC, players pay for ships. Like SC, it has gameplay that is buggy and frustrating (the campaigns most DCS players recommend you skip). Like SC, many new players have to turn to...

The real x-factor for the 600i will be the modularity. Being able to switch to luxury touring is neat and opens up another gameplay loop in the (likely very distant) future. This was always a future plus for me - even with its current wonky layout. With this rework coming, I'm gonna be saying...

Naw, I don't sell them, but if we are sitting in a forum speculating about the future of this game, I am sure we ALL know how to make them.

You might look to the LFG reddit (reddit.com/r/lfg) to find an online group if you wanna play an rpg online. Folks use Virtual Tabletops (often coupled with Discord) to play. Common Virtual Tabletops include Foundry VTT and Roll20. Am I? News to me.

I would bet release in a year at the next IAE. Around the same time, they may announce some other major rework that will undoubtedly take "considerable" dev time. CIG can quietly print money with carefully scheduled reworks without needing to make a bunch of brand new ships.

I think Tarkov has regular wipes.

If you are interested in Traveller and you like DnD, you should try Stars Without Number. It's basically a souped up old school DnD with the Traveller skill system bolted on. Good fun. There is a free version available with most of the content of the Deluxe version included...

Well, I do not absolve CIG of any responsibility of theirs to make a stable game. I just don't believe a game needs to be stable to be considered "released". If anything, it will be easier to hold CIG accountable for their product if we as a community reject the narrative that the game is an...

If these were a single modular ship, I would be all over it.

Some of my favorite released games have been unstable. A game being released and a game being stable are two different descriptors aligned to two very different things.

That's the power of language. Sure it can. I stopped buying into into the "future" of this game and its "promise" a while ago. The game is out NOW. Its a live service game with updates. Eventually, it may or may not have drones, and settlements, and ai blades, and hirable npcs, and a point to...

Bong: This is my take, man. They call it Alpha but they market it as a released game because that is what it is. As soon as the PU hit, Star Citizen was live. Is it a good game right now? No. It's an immersive experience but its not a good game. They toss around this Alpha word to get folks to...

Great video, Montoya! My take: I'm too old be be fully into competitive gaming. I am looking at SC primarily as an immersive multiplayer experience. Style points and the fantasy a given ship promotes are very high on the level of importance for me. For example, I passed on the Redeemer...

Thank you @Freak0!

Ya, the 890J and the Carrack look great. I really like the Carrack especially; it gives me some serious Star Trek vibes (though I wish the crew berths were a bit more private). But I think it might be hard to consistently crew such big ships. That's why I am mostly looking at those medium size...

Hmm, as far as ships... So far, I am liking the Vanguard for solo or duo combat. I also like that it will be modular, so I will be able to switch between it being an e-war ship, a more traditional combat ship, a missile boat, etc. I also like that it has all the amenities. I like the idea of...
