Can we still join this game?
just play elite dangerous if you want a well rounded space game right now. star citizen IMO is an over priced tech demo pyramid scheme. theres too much sketchy shit going on in the background for me to confidently tell anyone to snag a copy of it. don't get me wrong visually its stunning. but there's hardly anything to do in it at the moment and it will probably be like that for many more years.
It has been six to seven years, and it's nearly time to release a small part within the next year or two. If this pace continues, you can wait another seven to ten years before being ready for the complete version, provided nothing changes about the entire engine again.
It's a great moment to try entering if you aim to become a skilled pilot. The latest Alpha Patch 3.5 introduces a new flight model. If you're eager to challenge beginners at launch (due to the learning curve), then now is an ideal time to begin.
From a development standpoint, I believe the true progress of Star Citizen Universe MMO started in 2015. Prior to that, the focus was mainly on the Arena Commander and Hangar modules, concentrating on tool creation and company growth. Whether it will take until 2025 for the MMO release is uncertain. Honestly, I'm more enthusiastic about SQ42 right now. It's surprising they chose to develop two games simultaneously—my goal was simply a space sim, Freelancer 2.0 specifically. I didn't expect it to be an MMO or even a multiplayer game.
I'm looking forward to playing SQ42 on the toughest setting, with no tutorial and having the Vanduul launch 200 million missiles straight into my ship's engine.
Content-wise it's a true alpha, as mechanics are still being added to the game.
If you're unsure, wait for a free play weekend to test it out.
Progress is possible so far, but it resets with each new release.
The ship you start with depends on the amount of money you invest in the game.
Other ships can be purchased using in-game earnings until the game resets again due to a new version.
Does that address your question?
