In the Prime timeline Star Citizen was released 4 years ago to universal acclaim, President Clinton upheld the Paris agreement and the UK begrudgingly remains in the EU.

And Interplay sold the FreeSpace rights back to THQ Nordic. V is developing FS3 right now.

In the prime universe Interplay advertised Freespace 2 meaning that it sold enough to keep them afloat. Volition went on to develop 4 other space shooter IPs and plan to finally return to the Freespace universe after a 5 year break early next year.

Hopefully in that timeline it went the original plan, that the knowledge of FreeSpace, Red Faction and Saints Row was used for Descent 4 finally. :D

Maybe in this prime universe Chris Roberts was even able to finish his own vision of Freelancer and Freelancer 2 and his studio was able to release the whole Starlancer trilogy. So there would not be even the need for Star Citizen  :D

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

Well at least it isn't the timeline where it was developed by Derek Smart and published by Chris Roberts. :P

In other news, apparently there's an actual spaceship shop in the SC pre-alpha (it's pre-alpha now because that's what CR is referring to it as). Minus the ships and purchasing of ships of course:-

Not exactly, misleading wording on my part, sorry. CIG and the player base are still referring to it as the "Alpha", but CR referred to it as pre-alpha multiple times during the last citcon, so who knows at this point.

Here's some tl;dr on the current star citizen experience that you can expect from this 200 million dollar masterpiece.







Still good it seems

$200 million reached!

Thank you all for your generous contributions :D

Next stop is patch 3.3.5 with planet Hurston, should be out in a week or so with lots of new content. Framerate is greatly improved since last patch, however nothing changed on the crashes and bugs front..

$200 million, you say?  With that amount of money, some video game developers could have made a video game.

So are we actually at the point where we can start discussing gameplay concepts, like the optimal equipment for particular ship hulls, time-efficient ways to make money, or the best dogfighting tactics?

Going from 5fps to 10fps is indeed a massive improvement. Double the framerate, ladies and gentlemen.

Nope. Come back in two years.

40-60 fps on my Radeon 390X at 1080p very high. It is no 144Hz but this is the first patch when I feel framerate is no longer significantly impacting the gameplay.

This seems like an incredibly optimistic estimate.

Nah lol, the game completely buckles under any kind of actual action. 40-60fps during peaceful moments with only a handful of commandos on screen says nothing.

You've just got to think positive - 40-60fps during peaceful moments with only a handful of commandos on screen- it's not crashing!! IT'S ALIVE!!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!! THE GAME MADE FROM BODYPARTS OF A SPACE SIMULATOR, SIMS, AN EGO SHOOTER AND TRADE SIMULATOR IS ALIVE!!!!!

You've been saying crap like this since this thread was started.  You set yourself a deadline for when you'll start being skeptical, that deadline comes and goes, and you find a way to rationalize your continued belief in SC.

At the cost of the game ignoring things outside of a certain range, like the sniper example spoon posted.

They're having a free fly week starting on the 23rd for you masochists out there.
