Ah, the classic quarterly Star Citizen drama.

Is there any content?

There is! I play it all the time with my friends and its some of the most fun I've ever had in a video game. The other day we hijacked some guy's space yacht and flew it to deep space, I left the ship with my friend while we brought our huge salvage ship over and scraped off all the metal from the ship, then chewed it up with the mounted claw/grinder. The whole process took 3 people 2 hours and it was so much fun.

It's not for everyone and may very well never release. But I've been waiting for a game like this for years and I can't get enough of it. The immersion is insane.

I want to like it but the last time I tried to play the game, it tried to kill my computer. Have they optimized it at all?

[–] lwe@feddit.de 0 points 3 months ago

Depends a little. It definitely does work on lower end PCs. But if you crank everything to max settings you will struggle on most PCs. When you are CPU limited try the new Vulkan implementation. While it's not fully implemented it does already use less CPU.

What about the guy who's space yacht you stole. Was he another player or an NPC? If he was another player, will he have to buy a new space yacht for real money?

Depending on what ship it was the other player will have to wait quite a bit for it to be available again. Anything stored on said shipped was lost to the pirates of course.

Also anything bought with real money can't really be lost. That would be illegal in so many countries.
