I'm so tired of this game not being a game.

i want it to have an actual release before i buy it....but the developers keep saying it wont have an actual release and will just be forever updated.  i dunno. So looks like I'm waiting until the 2022 alpha 5.0 or something.

I almost got one of the 75 dollar packages but decided to wait for the game to "be more complete" ie out of beta or at least alpha. This was in 2014 and I'm glad I didn't go for it. I've seen some cool footage but I don't know, anybody actually play this game that can recommend it?

I don't know anyone. This game is a secret based on a rumor based on a legend based on a dream based on a wish based on a hope. This game is Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. He's not going to kick the football. I don't think this game will ever actually be a game that is finished that is sold to people to play on personal computers.

At the moment its terrible, mainly cause they had to focus so much on the look of the game they prioritised content before they had the network code up, so you're lucky if the framerate is above 30fps. Whats in the game at the moment is a single star system with a couple of planets, alot of moons and a bunch of satellites. There are quite a few missions to do for ingame credits but i've avoided it cause I couldn't get cargo in my ship and its not scheduled to be reworked till the Network code is done in the last quarter of this year. So i'd say check back at the end of this year and maybe you'll be quietly surprised, or just disappointed. I expect there is alot that hasn't been shown to the public, however I do know they are releasing a game called Squadron 42 as a standalone project which includes alot of big name acting talent.

They've been releasing Squadron 42 for 4 years - the in-game live action footage was filmed in like 2014. Even if they could just get that out it would at least be SOMETHING.

 

BTW, do you know the rig requirements for the game?

My i7 6700k GTX 1060 6GB 16 GB Ram,  Barely played it on ultra. Maybe 30fps.  So I'm thinking north of there.  Also might be why 42 wasnt released in 2014 or 2015. Because...hot damn

Are you sure the 30fps was due to the card or the network lag? cause when a server is fresh I could easily pull in 60fps on the same card as you.
