Again, sonething is worth whatever someone will pay for it. If people are willing to spend $18k on this package, then the pricing is right. I'm 100% a fan of cafeteria style DLC.

I never said charging $18k is wrong, or evil, or unethical, or blaming anyone. Just intriguing.

Anyway, sorry for posting unacceptable comments. I'll keep out of this thread and refrain from talking about Star Citizen from now on.

Dude, chill out. Nobody said your comments were unacceptable. Why so butt hurt? Don't play coy though...your comments were obviously critical, and that's ok, but don't expect silence in response. You're more than welcome to continue posting here and I encourage it, but if you're too sensitive that's ok too.

[Jarhead0331]

I guess the thing I find most disappointing is that the game universe is already so impressive and the development team has accomplished so much and is clearly on the verge of breaking all sorts of boundaries and all anyone wants to talk about around here is how much some of the stupid game packages cost. You don't have to buy those packages to experience the game. You can buy an entry level Aurora for like $30 bucks.

It's a shame that the project is so overshadowed by the crowd funding and development delays, even after all the gains that have been made in the last year or so.

Personally i stopped view it as a instant buy when it was announced as a mmo. But i still enjoy reading Jarheads updates and have my fingers crossed with a wait and see attitude.

Well, you have the average game selling for $60, and then you have a really nice piece of professional business software that goes for $500-1000.  Heck, even VBS is only a couple grand at most, right.

So then a game company comes out and says, yeah you can buy the complete version for $18,000, oh and that actually doesn't include all the DLC...

Sure, you don't have to buy that, but when that's the kind of money the game is throwing around, it's hard to not talk about it.  It's so far outside the paradigm it's like paradigm-creating.  Or shattering.  Or both.  It's kind of nuts man.

[mikeck]

Is there a "solo" mode or something like in Elite so I don't have to be in the gaming universe with humans? Or like Naval Action PvE server?

I never said you did. I was just stating my opinion that I didn't have an issue with the pricing of someone is willing to pay it

There are solo modes in arena, which is free flight or dog fighting against AI opponents, but there is no solo mode in the PU.

Eh, I spent somewhere around $120 on it many, many years ago in its very first crowdfunding run and haven't thought about it much since then.  Never even loaded a version.

Not planning on dropping more.  I'll play it one day when it's "complete" probably when I've retired, and after I've put more than 1000 hours into Elite Dangerous.

Star Citizen is going to surpass Elite in the very near future. The tech is there, they just need tie it all together now, which they are doing at very rapid pace. I strongly encourage you to load SC now since you already have a flight package and see for yourself. I'm certain you'll be impressed.

Jarhead I have invested in about 5 ships in SC. But I have not downloaded it for over at least 3 months because it is not optimised enough to be smooth enough NOT to annoy me yet. Has that changed for gunfights or spacefights?

[trek]

I joined SC about 18 months ago. I've bought two ships and some additional weaponry. I estimate I've got about $250-300 invested in the game. Never thought I'd do anything like this for a game, but somehow how for me personally I think it is worth being part of something of this magnitude and I'm enjoying watching the entire development process unfold.

On the con side I wish they would implement a proper patch updater so you don't have to re-download the entire damn game every time they bring out a new version.

Are you sure this is still the case? For instance, I don't believe I had to download the entire game to upgrade from 2.6 to 2.6.1, to 2.6.2, or to 2.6.3.
