@Bulbagarden If you had played Live, Pocket, Unite, or GO you would know not to expect better.

We knew there wasn't going to be a full roster on launch, we could anticipate that there would be a heavy focus on VGC, we could expect that more items might be introduced over time- But as THE bespoke battling title, we also expected it to look and run better than this

@slippyslappysw1 @SaiekoVT @RobertsSpaceInd ASD is so soloable you can do it with naked weapons and 2x medium and 2x light armor

@SaiekoVT @RobertsSpaceInd mining, crafting, cargo hauling, looting, salvage, bounty hunting, ship fighting, exploring are activities. Content like ASD, Hathor, Rock Cracker, contested zones, etc are not solo content. lol. lmao. 🤣😂

This Week in Star Citizen has dropped, and it's looking 'B'-sy! ⚙️ Play for Free: April 9 - 20th ⚙️ Captains of Industry ⚙️ Behind The Ships: MISC Hull B - the real one ⚙️ Monthly Subscriber Update ⚙️ CLX PC Giveaway Kickoff And more: play.sc/4sdlrOk

@TheFamilyPlayz @Morphologis The patch has only been out for less than 2 weeks, so I don't have much of an inventory yet. Reach out in a few weeks and maybe I will be able to sell you quality materials at non-dupe inflation prices. =)

@FieldsSc2 @Morphologis True, but I am talking about basic stuff.

I can see why some are turned off by Star Citizen crafted items. Crafting right now is a bit too time intensive if you want stats to be above +0. We had 43 people in a coordinated mining op going for 5 hours, of 215 combined hours, and only managed enough for 7 suits of armor with a minimum of 500 quality materials. IMO they need to lower the quality minimum to start achieving higher than 0 stats, or increase the spawn rate of 500+ materials. How have your experiences been?

@TheFamilyPlayz @Morphologis He had Palatino armor in the screenshot. That is NOT basic gear.

Look, please stop with the white-knighting. You can’t defend a system where you need dozens of players, hours of mining, special blueprint missions, and massive resources... just to craft basic equipment that barely covers your own group. Nobody here is talking about rare or epic items, just normal gear. The cost-benefit ratio is completely broken. It’s literally a net loss in time and resources. That’s not an economy, that’s a punishment. You can’t build a self-sufficient seller of your own crafted goods like this. You’d need a massive organization behind you, with tons of players basically donating their time for free, just so you can craft a few pieces of gear to sell for tiny profits. It’s pointless and thankless. Criticism is valid and needed so they can actually improve it. The only person I’ve seen defending this to be honest is you... literally everyone else I know is frustrated with it and some are already considering quitting because of stuff like this. Blind defense doesn’t help the game, it hurts it.

@TheFamilyPlayz @Morphologis Yes, which means the game is working as intended. If everyone enjoyed doing everything, the game won't ever have an economy. You can play normally and pay people who like crafting for improved items. I made my post because basic items are pretty easy to craft, so I assumed rarity

Did you actually read what I wrote? Here’s my original post again: "I completely agree. I was really looking forward to the crafting system, but the time investment, the blueprint missions, and the ridiculous resource requirements are just way over the top! It completely kills any motivation to actually do it. They urgently need to rework the entire crafting loop and drastically reduce the effort and resources required... Right now it’s completely unsuitable for solo players or small orgs. Even larger organizations don’t really benefit, because in the end you still can’t produce enough high-quality material for everyone. So with a heavy heart I’m skipping crafting entirely and just using items I loot." Nowhere in my post did I talk about rare or epic stuff. Not a single word. We were only talking about crafting itself. It eats up ridiculous amounts of time, you need special missions for the blueprints, and it demands a ton of players working together. The cost-benefit ratio is completely out of whack and needs urgent changes. There’s no need to bring up things nobody even mentioned just to defend the current crafting system. The fact is, almost every player I know is unhappy with it... and I’m one of them. That’s why I’ve personally decided to skip crafting entirely and just loot what I need. That’s my choice, and you’re free to make whatever choice works for you.

@Morphologis The comments here are really showing that CIG is doing the right thing. Mining and crafting isn't meant to be for everyone. There needs to be room for dedicated crafters in the economy, otherwise the design intent of the game falls apart. No economy if everyone can do everything.

@TheFamilyPlayz @Morphologis Crafting isn't meant to let you get rare armor sets easier than it would be to farm them normally.

I completely agree. I was really looking forward to the crafting system, but the time investment, the blueprint missions, and the ridiculous resource requirements are just way over the top! It completely kills any motivation to actually do it. They urgently need to rework the entire crafting loop and drastically reduce the effort and resources required...

@PorygonRuler @dias1430 @gearhartpkmn You're just wrong. Big basic formats are so boring.

@dias1430 @gearhartpkmn Of course they need to include evolution because it’s an adaptation from the game but the method they chose has flaws.

The fundamental difference between Pokémon's and MTG's resource systems is that card-draw doesn't require energy, but it does require mana. If you don't have energy, you can use Supporter cards to find them. If you don't have mana, you can't use most draw/search effects.

@Morphologis Rare armor requires rare materials to craft, even at base quality. This is a good thing, actually.

@Donati55571394 @Morphologis Well that's not true. I have been mining planetside rocks exclusively from a Golem this patch without an issue. Are you using the right modules and gadgets?

@Morphologis Shit... Mining in a starter ship is a complete waste of time.

@SpaceTomatoGG @chonkrider I watched it yesterday and even though it's a year old, it still seemed very relevant. Only in the past few months has SC development really taken off, which is in line with the devs saying development was complete for SQ42. Those resources definitely got moved over to the PU.

Here's a totally-not-controversial video about why Star Citizen is taking so long (it rhymes with "Pauldron, I love you") It's an OPINION piece, released last year for supporters, but that doesn't change it's relevance, despite commentator wailing... youtu.be/jOxUqs4i_pw

You haven't drawn in a while 🫵😔

@pokebeach Call it Twitter instead.

Always interesting to see my stories get copied without credit, misread, repackaged with AI images, monetized through paid communities, and still outperform the original reporting. Seen it for years -- the X algorithm rewards it every time. 😆

@pokebeach AWWWH YEAH

You ready?

@ToolsWiki They oppose the UEE yet use their language. How curious! By the way I am very smart.

Vox Populi is a #StarCitizen news organisation serving the population of the People's Alliance. Like many names in the game, it's #latin, and means Voice of the People. starcitizen.tools/Vox_Populi

@discolando I prefer shades closer to pastels, but that color is really pretty too. It reminds me of ocean-themed bathroom decor, which is very nostalgic to me.

Sand Blue is the best LEGO color.

@FicsitPioneer @RobertsSpaceInd It's the UTV. An STV with a bed for 1SCU in the back.

@RobertsSpaceInd New MTC cargo variant?

Four wheels. One box. Let's go. #sneakpeek

@Erwin_Kats @RobertsSpaceInd Ground vehicles aren't bad. You just can't hold down the W key. Source: I use ground vehicles

@RobertsSpaceInd The person who's posting this never played with a ground vehicle for sure.

@Darktide40K The absence of the Oxford Comma is a mark of heresy.

The agents of the Imperial Inquisition are as diverse as the myriad snowflakes that fall during a Fenrisian blizzard. Each a specialist in their own right, they use whatever tools necessary in their quest to banish the Imperium's foes, whether the enemy comes from within, without or beyond. The Inquisitorial Agents cosmetics are available at Commodore's Vestures.

@DIskaldur @TheRubenSaurus Except now you can move that paint to higher tier moles when ship upgrades become a thing.

@TheRubenSaurus As a Carbon owner, I totaly agree with all those reply : I did not pledge a paint, I pledge a collector ship variant. Changing it to a regular MOLE with a Carbon paint is unacceptable.

PSA for MOLE Talus and Carbon owners: You now own a normal MOLE and a paint... #StarCitizen
