Linking your own post on frontier's forum is really desparate. Day 4 stream was a bit lame being a recap but what can you do, it doesn't change all the stuff that was announced on day 1, 2 or 3, does it.
I think something really hindering this game is he wants too much realism. Realism isnt always fun that is why we play video games.
I'd rather it be somewhat niche and keep with the realism direction. It isn't always exciting, that is true. Actually, it is often quite boring (traveling being the biggest offender in my opinion).
Strangely, I find the game more interesting because of it. It sounds like an oxymoron. The way I personally play this game is with either some music or a podcast playing in the background (usually at night with the lights off). To me, it gives it an even more realistic vibe. Progressing and exploring and basically building up to bigger and better things has been fun for me (for quite a while now). It reminds me more of the privateer games mixed with the original elite dangerous than say a Wing Commander Game.
As this game expands and its features expand more and more, I like it more and more. And for me personally, it fits my style of space game (although I do wish the features were more robust at this point).

I dont think he gives a shit. Meaning I dont think he is in this for the money, my impression is its something he wanted to do and if the masses dont understand well that is understandable...have you seen the masses?

Yep, someone imported assets to Unreal to give a sense of scale to the ships, which can be difficult to appreciate in Elite, although the SRV makes this somewhat easier.
This looks really good and the game is out right. They don't sell pictures of ships and raise money that way I hope. I mean why aren't more people that like this type of game supporting this instead of that money grabbing SC.
Yeah it's weird. Everyone is waiting on an online space sim when this one is already out.
I haven't tried it because I've heard bad things, but some of this stuff looks pretty interesting.

You do know that a great many Star Citizen fans also play (and like) Elite Dangerous,do you not? AND No Mans Sky. AND other space games...

honestly, I think space sims are about to have run its course already.
if I was a developer starting a game now I would look into being first(ish) in a new genre. I would be giving The Old West genre a serious looksy

Q: Why bother with scientific accuracy?
A: It doesn't hurt, why not? ... I think it gives lots of new vectors for game play.
He isn't going after "realism" just for the sake of it,ie. new stars aren't just visuals but you can use their gravity for longer jumps.
For the same reasons there is heat mechanics, etc..
That is how "proper" sci-fi is made - it is built upon science, in it's core. Not just theme.

Please send me the video of you popping your hatch in E:D and go for an EVA on foot with your avatar.
I want to learn something new in E:D - only been playing it since Beta. Must have totally missed THAT feature in E:D
Have fun
has Star Citizen ever done any features into production retail before Frontier has?
I put in bold the important parts
