Umm actually crowd so eager to say its not a scam. Arguing semantics.
What SC is, is a waste of fkn time.
Mismanaged by a bunch of turds, falling ass first into millionaire status all while just selling a tech demo as a game.
11 years later and the same bugs I experienced in 2015 are still there in one form or another in 2026.
Innovative gameplay include:
Ship Mining - Shoot a laser beam.
FPS Mining - Shoot a laser beam.
Ground Vehicle Mining - Shoot a laser beam.
Salvaging - Shoot a laser beam.
Physicalized cargo - Shoot a laser beam.
Engineering repairs - Guess what? Shoot a laser beam.
Simulated fire - An actual fire extinguisher, half expected another laser beam.
Crafting - Gee wiz here I go again loading the crafting box using my physicalized cargo laser beam.
These are the same sht heads that are pushing for realism and immersion even at the expense of gameplay convenience.
But every mechanic is some kind of laser beam.
Sold a mech suit that looks like loader from Aliens movie only for it to work by using laser beam...
2026 and they finally figured out how to add night vision to ships.
Oh boy sure is nice to finally be able to see where I am flying at night thanks.
The key tech the game needs to function has been delayed so much, you could start taking bets on it.
What will we get 1st? Fully functional Server meshing as it was advertised or a commercially viable Nuclear Fusion reactor.
Only took a decade to make 3 Star systems out of the 100 promised.
"Its early access bruh"
"Its legacy code that needs updating"
"Just wait till dynamic server meshing hits"
"SQ42 is the focus, they have to focus on that first"
Tired old same excuses used time and again.
Same geniuses that create PVE space special events that break and cause servers to crash if any player flies to that PVE mission zone.
Because servers have persistence, it would restart after the crash in exactly the same broken state.
Servers stayed broken like that the whole event, for weeks. WEEKS.
Am I just a jaded CIG hating mofo?
