All this buzz for being able to draw dicks on other people's stuff then sell the paint that you scrape off?
I mean, that's pretty much the only thing that sets all this salvaging crap from mining.
I wasn't really expecting Hardspace Shipbreaker level of gameplay, but it still looks lame. I guess the lack of enthusiasm is even showing from the devs talking in the official vid.
They are being lazy as fuck when it comes to the interactions. It's basically just shooting differently colored lazor beams at stuff,
and it lets you move cargo around, mine rocks, and now it's the same shit for for salvaging.

That's their initial version - hull scrapping. Next on the menu will probably be components and then hull salvage.

Yeah, I reckon everyone knows this spiel by now. When it's done(tm) it's going te be fucking epic(r) and y'all gonna take it all back.
And I gladly will.
In the meantime, it is what it is. A rush job (imo) to sell a new ship, because that's probably what keeps this whole thing afloat.
It is especially infuriating, if we're talking about ships, considering...
The RAFT ship, the one they offered during the free fly event, had a deathtrap of an elevator which glitches you through the floor or the planet surface if you don't step off it exactly right,
and is not even interactable from the inside from the ship. This is a ship they offered to showcase the game.
The Reliant series ships still turn into deathtraps if you try to use the bed logout feature, because when you log back in the cockpit spawns rotated vertically (i.e. in flight mode)
making it inaccessible. And you need to get into the cockpit to unfuck it, no other way. Especially funny if you landed on the ground, cause it still rotates into flight mode
and immediately goes tits up. Also, the ship's power controls interfere with the display panels, so you might accidentally do a full power shutdown as you're trying to diddle with your
weapons setup. The ships 3D radar is also obstructed 99% of the time by your active quest info.
The Mustang (a starter ship, first thing a lot of folks are going to see) almost never spawns right in the hangar. Sometimes it does a weird bounce (whee horsie),
sometimes is stays up near the ceiling (it's reachable sometimes), I've heard people had it spawning upside down, but haven't seen it myself. If you try to use its cargo hatch, sometimes
it just kills your character, neat way to add a bit of risk to otherwise bland box delivery missions. It also has too few displays in the cockpit to accommodate
all the data you might find useful (and some of them cannot be comfortably viewed without head tracking).
...
etc.
But hey, I am sure they'll all fix this when they decide it's time to update them to the Gold Standard(tm) or whatever the fuck they're calling the final pass of fixes.
And this is just the crap I witnessed personally, cause there's a whole bunch of people on reddit, and even have a dedicated website listing them (I'll link if I can find it).
And most of this has been around for years. There are threads on official forums detailing the bugs, but due to the fucked up system
in which they seem to basically queue fixes based on the number of upvotes each issue gets it would take a real sucker to fork out real monies for any of those ships
without extensive research into what actually works.
And some ships seem to work. Had very little trouble with 100i (other than the bed not working, but that seems to be standard fare, and the fact that the button to exit the pilot seat can be a bit tricky to find)
and the Pisces runs mostly flawless if you are willing to forgive minor inconveniences such as grass clipping through the bottom.
I know it's just beating a horse that is not only dead but also buried and decomposed, but it somehow irks me on a fundamental level when people just put
obviously unfinished shit on the sideline, while at the same time advertising the new and shiny.

They should knock out a Star Citizen visual novel with top backers appearing as NPCs, and put some more fancy ship jpegs in the background to tease people.

Crowdfund an RPG for this instead of a visual novel.

3.18 goes into evocati October 8th. Probably about 2 weeks of evocati then PTU up until end of november when there is some ship sale.
100% this will be the most broken path in history of SC.
There were supposed to release 3.18 to evocati at end of july when 3.17.2 was released.

Missed free play event again I think but somehow it starts to look like the game is actually more broken now than how I remember it.

This is good news to anyone who didn't get their refund in time. Makes RSI feel even more like a mickey mouse shop though :D

SCLeaks apparently got hold of SQ42 video from campaign. They teased to release it with screenshot in next few hours. CIG got a wind of it and they apparently threatened SC leaks. SCleaks complied and they won't be releasing video they got to public.
CitizenCon is just 3 days away so this video comes probably from what CIG will show at CitizenCon.
screenshot from SCleaks:
Screenshot shows Bengal Carrier, 2 javelins, 2-3 Idrisses moving in Orion system (SQ42 campaign system)
