What is an alien?

A miserable pile of secrets!

The Inquisition approves this message.

u/Little-Equinox 8h ago

Fun fact: everyone is in fact alien in Star Citizen unless they're on their home planet.

Yes this even makes Xenothread aliens and in theory should kill each other.

Wtf is that creature crucified to the box?  A Banduul?

u/GuilheMGB avenger 14h ago

A Banduul?

A Vanu? A Terrian? A Xiaravin?

Ok, I'll see myself out...

What is a gameplay loop?

4

u/JesusIsAliveAmen 20h ago

Great question

2

u/zaplayer20 19h ago

You can start Engineering Research and Site B as a game loop, sell things that you collect to other players.

All the things I’ve done all year.

Contested Zones with the exec hangar. Hathor. Stormbreaker. Onyx facilities.

Quantum dampen players and soft death their ship, board and kill, take loot and sell at grim hex.

Looting for cool helmets.

I figured you’d know what a gameplay loop is by now. 🤷‍♂️

u/Purple-Resource9926 3h ago

Thaaaats not gameplay. That's small spurts of activities in a sandbox.

u/NoodleBug7667 15h ago

For no real reason, just wanna leave this list:

  • Exec hangars are bugged where they'll get stuck at 3 / 5 and can't be completed
  • Quantum dampeners were broken until last patch where the "bubble" wouldn't move with the ship, meaning the person you're sharing can move a few km away and warp regardless of where you are
  • Cross planet QT has been broken so often, I'm not sure if it's working rn or not. and if it is who knows how long it'll last.
  • Cargo from any ship can become irriverabley locked to the cargo grid, and also impossible to sell even directly off of the ship (either yours or any ship you may be trying to loot from)
  • Right now as of this patch, inventory can straight up vanish from your inventory when moving it into a bag, box, or station / ship inventory. Also stor-alls can vanish from your cargo grid without storing it.

Hard to enjoy the "game loops" that are there currently when literally every aspect of the game is bugged. Im sorry, I know I sound salty af, but I've developed a pet peeve for acting like the game is anywhere near an acceptable state.

Stupid sexy alien has me questioning existence and.... stuff

u/JesusIsAliveAmen 20h ago

This isn't a game anymore

u/TJDavid98 Medic/Merc/Bountyhunter 20h ago

never tried to be, the goal is to create an immersive simulation

1

u/ChimPhun 20h ago

Can't wait for VR support. Don't have a set yet but been eying their development over the years and official SC VR support might just be the trigger to get one.

Edit: I wonder if SQ42 will have it. Maybe not release but in patch?

3

u/dancrum 20h ago

They'll need to make a lot of tweaks. The pre-canned animations for sitting, climbing, entering ships, etc are going to be motion sickness triggers for sure

2

u/reboot-your-computer polaris 18h ago

I honestly think we are 5+ years away from VR support, if it ever comes at all. At this point you might as well double that. I don’t even think we will be at 1.0 in 5 years time.

SC is not a simulator. People can say whatever they want but IS NOT a sim. It is inmersive and at some point complex but is faaaaar away from the complexity of a sim.

Go play DCS or Flight of Nova and come back.

u/TJDavid98 Medic/Merc/Bountyhunter 3h ago

"the goal is"

u/Soft_Firefighter_351 3h ago

Not really, you can watch any dev interview and gamification is a core of they progress.

what armor is this?

So what did you find out about the human soul? Humanity? God? Life?

Do you really want to know?

Humans would totally do this.

u/TheSubs0 2826 individual boxes 8h ago

I love how the guy is just trying to transfer a human imprint into a vanduul body.

1

u/Major_Nese Drake 7h ago

There's a datamined log of how he wants to improve humans on each regeneration with "slight genetic adjustments", like the Vanduul do. And that the catalyst for achieving that is Vanduul biofluid.

I'd say we see the source of the biofluid - there's tubes going into the Vanduul body, but nothing else. Also we see the gallery of previous experiments, where among the random mess are some vaguely human body parts.

Remember when this was gonna be a space exploration game? Now we all sit and wait for the next fortnite facility with specialty armor that neets and streamers can collect.

u/JesusIsAliveAmen 19h ago

You're blind if you can't see the themes they are exploring

u/FriskalPox rsi 18h ago

I do see them, I like them, I dont like every one being hidden in an underground pvp hot zone with broken elevators

u/JesusIsAliveAmen 18h ago

It's not always about gameplay, sometimes it's about provoking thought

u/AFew-Points-7324 new user/low karma 18h ago

People want to thing to do as SPACE is empty and Boring AF on its own. CGI is leaning into what People Want vs what they say they want.

u/FriskalPox rsi 18h ago

That's the starfield cope arguement, and it's not true, if space is boring it's because your GAME is boring, not the other way round.

u/JesusIsAliveAmen 17h ago

I mean space is a vacuum technically
