Not sure if anyone really follows the development of the game anymore, I'm a 'backer' (aka sucker) from a few years ago, tried it a couple of years ago. Found it an unplayable mess full of game breaking bugs with virtually nothing fun to do. Ships felt like empty plastic bags that move with no real momentum or feeling of weight/mass. So called 'multi-crew' gameplay was broken with anyone except the pilot falling though the structure of the ship.
Running around a station looked cool but again there was no reason to do it as there were no shops or npc giving missions etc.
I watched some of the Gamescom 3.0 event over the last day and a half and I've got to say it looks about the same as it did with the fake giant 'Dune' worm event from last year. But there was no goals or objective to do and it seemed like 2.0 but with a tiny bit more content. And even in their showcase event there was game breaking bugs. They also have speeder bikes from star wars now (or something very similar) , but they were broken as well.
Bare in mind that 3.0 was promised back in 2016 (I think) but got delayed until June this year, then delayed again, and now appears to be missing features with plenty of old bugs along with some new bugs that have been around for years. I'd be surprised if they manage to release a version of 3.0 this year, even if they cut out a chunk of the content.
If it has taken such a large team a year to get to this point from last year I'm worried about what they will fail to achieve by this time next year.
What did anyone else think?
Is anyone else expecting the 'big event' on Friday to be another scripted tech demo?

They advance at a snails pace, yet they burned through all the money they had.
Abandon ship.
When it originally just looked like a Wing Commander with bigger fights I might've actually backed it but now that it's "menial task simulator: space edition™" you couldn't pay me to give a shit about it.
Yep, I've already written the money off as a bad mistake. If ever they bring out something playable then that's good and I'll try get some enjoyment out of it. If not just I'm sure I'll get some enjoyment out of the salt moon created by the whale 'backers'.
Why havent you asked for a refund?
There's already a thread up for this.

POST YFW YOU DID NOT BACK THIS PIECE O SHIT
Yep, if CR had just stuck to a fancy looking new Wing Commander/Freelancer 2 type game with a handful of ships to start with and few upgradables like guns, shields etc. We'd probably be playing one fun game with the potential of DLC and expansion packs etc.
Instead we now have a hand full of disjointed feeling tech demos, and some vague promise of how it's all going to work together. I gave up most hope when they started talking about loading crates with items, then moving the crates onto the ship, then flying the crates somewhere and then manually unloading them. Like what the fuck?! UPS delivery driver sim 2018, with some half arsed broken physics spaceship shooter tagged on and some FPS shooter than only a handful of people wanted.
Imagine people backed a WW2 Flight Sim, and were looking forward to advanced physics and flight models, great visuals and some sort of dynamic campaign along with some co-op and MP action.
But then after a couple of years the CEO of the dev company says the game is massively delayed because he has a vision of a BF4 type 1st person shooter to be part of the game, then he wants to delay it more because he wants to add mining missions, literally the most boring thing I could think of adding to any game. Then he wants to delay so you can park your plane anywhere you like and build a base and invite friends to come plow fields and start a fucking vegan hippy commu because now your character has to eat and make packed lunches for missions. The it gets delayed again because he wants to put in an epic storyline in starring Luke fucking Skywalker. Then after 5 years since the initial announcement he declares they are selling ships skins, and new concept plane, and tanks and horses and outfits and shit to help with funding, and that you are not buying anything, but are donating to a nightmare of a cluster fuck. That's how I feel SC is going.
Are ya guys hype? Think the ritual suicides are going to start this year?
