Interesting, feedback needed, should we invest or hold off?
I realize I'm arriving late to the event, as friends promoted Star Citizen for a long time before it reached alpha/beta and they bought in early. I've lost touch with them now, and I'm wondering about the current status of the game. Should I invest my time or wait until it develops further? I missed starting in E.V.E. Online when it was just launching, and now I'm craving a similar experience. The main reason that kept me away was the P2W mode. Are there any other options worth trying today?
It's currently in an Ok-ish state. Things are mesed up and it lacks content but with some friends you can find some fun in there for a couple of hours. Since you can buy ships ingame now it's a bit less P2W but grinding these is not an option if you want to stay a functional human being, especialy since they still reset your ingame balance every patch (about every 3 months now). Given that we are waiting for the new flight model I'd suggest holding out for that until summer to not get dissappointed by the curent mess.
The single player camaign Squadron 42 may be available for testing end of 2019 when development goes well.
Usually around Gamescom (August) and Citizencon (October) there are some deals going on to save a buck or two.
As for alternatives, if you want a MMO Elite Dangerous or Evolation are the only alternatives. If you're fine with single player have a look at Starway Fleet or Rebel Galaxy Outlaw
