Gotta love it, misinformation in a SC thread, absolutely shocking.Would be cooler if they could be displayed at a playable framerate

I think to get started you just buy one of the 'starter packs' including the game and a shipEvery time I see this I'm tempted to get into this game but the money sink just feels far too wide for me to devote myself to. Can anyone cut through the shit posts enough to explain how much I have to spend to "enjoy" the game, or even just get into it/started?
Well, there's a Ship Pack called Star Citizen for $27,000 but I figure counting inflation when it releases we could be well over $100,000.How much would it cost to buy all of the ships in the OP? $2,000? $10,000? More?
It looks like a picture too lol
Scifi aesthetic reasons. Also most (all?) of them can fly down to a planet so I guess it would matter there.
And yours 200$

The single player game no, the MMO thing you can play, yes.I still don't understand this game. I always see it from time to time, but can I actually buy it? Has it been released?

Yeah the game has some beautiful locations, and I hate that this threads already being trashed again. Like holy if y'all aren't going to be playing the game why do you keep coming to the threads.I know this is a ship thread, but can we take the time to appreciate how great the environments look too? These are all in-game shots.

It's a lot more indepth version of Elite Dangerous to put it as simple as possible. If you want to learn more about the game and what's available so far is just to look at their roadmap.
Despite how decent the designs are I'm still trying to grasp what this 'game' even is, and what capacity in which it's currently playable... But most baffling to me is the fact that literally anybody is willing to dump such huge quantities of real money on virtual ships. Because there's paid DLC and cosmetics/skins... And then there's this. They appear to range from anywhere between $20 and over $1000, if the wiki is to be believed. I mean... Really? I would be hesitant to spend that much on things that actually exist, let alone some vehicles or objects in an unfinished game. What's the motivation? It's just absolutely insane to me.
Also I think people are right to call attention to this without having to be labelled or generalised as haters / shitposters, it's a fairly relevant observation.
I think the logic behind it is to fund the development of the game. You can still think it's a total ripoff but I guess that's how they are selling it rather than purely some type of DLC gear.Despite how decent the designs are I'm still trying to grasp what this 'game' even is, and what capacity in which it's currently playable...

That's how it was always sold as.I think the logic behind it is to fund the development of the game. You can still think it's a total ripoff but I guess that's how they are selling it rather than purely some type of DLC gear.
I currently have it in HDD and use memory cache to help.Ermmm... It is ?
It wasn't always the case, yes, but now the game usually run between 30 and 60 most of the time, with a general average at 40. Even on not so beefy rigs. The game being installed on a SSD is waaaay more important than the graphics card, weirdly enough.

What's there to do in the city? Besides buy stuff I guess.The MMO version as it is right now:
You log in and wake up in a space station. You pick a ship from a terminal, pick a mission from your "visor" (which is kind of like a UI to do stuff like manage inventory, check missions, etc). Go to your ship, get in and walk around if you want. Take off, explore, and go do missions and earn money.
How can you earn money right now? Delivering cargo, trading, combat (groudn and air), hacking, and I might be forgetting a few. Oh almost forgot, you can do mining now with the mining ships. The gameplay for that is go down to a planet, scan it for resources and then go to the rocks and shoot lasers at them and try not to overload the laser or the rock will explode and damage your ship.
What can you do with that money? You can buy ships now, guns, armor, ammo, fuel (? never done it), repair your ship (? never done it). ship upgrades, ( I think, though I've never tried).
Money gets reset eventually along with progress because they're still working out the gameplay and the grind (how much hours spent to make money to buy ships). Though you do start with some alpha UEC (aUEC which is the games temp currency). It is alpha after all.
Don't quote me on this, but I think you can buy most ships now with earned money, but the ships costs aren't balanced to how much you can earn last I heard.
The price of entry is $45.00
Edit: There's enough "fun" and stuff to do to cover quite a few hours if you enjoy the game as it is. I've probably played it for longer than Elite Dangerous.
yeah, 100fps are literally unplayableWould be cooler if they could be displayed at a playable framerate
the new flight model is great.Too bad the new flight model SUCKS and there are no differences between atmospheric and space flight.
It's about throwing money down a well and hoping it spits gold out.
The real reason is I'll never have a PC that can run it!Yeah, they're some awesome poctires of spaceships you'll likely never fly.
Even disregarding the obvious drive-by post connotation of "half of them aren't even in the game yet", the ones that are cost an absolutely exorbitant amount of money.
Can you really just grind for all those fancy looking ships? In a typical reasonable timeframe? That sounds hard to believe.yeah, 100fps are literally unplayable
great pics, great ships (and no, you don't need to spent hundreds of dollars to unlock them ingame, it will be like Freelancer or any other mmo where you can buy weapons with ingame money - but that should be obvious)

I think it's justified given the games...development history.I thought it was gonna be a nice thread about the ships.
But nope, gotta make snarky ass posts whenever Star Citizen is involved
Ya'll just can't help yourselves, huh?

I won't deny they look good and I wish no man's sky had the size variety.
It literally is a yacht equivalent apparently lol.Some of those designs remind me of The Expanse.
Whoever designed this was thoroughly inspired by Super Yachts.
