Star Citizen's just a shitty remake anyway.

Animated gif of gameplay some version of the game "Asteroids" first released as an arcade cabinet in 1979 by Atari Inc.

Capstone is that old, yeah? Even before they were doing shitty doom clones, they were doing shitty asteroid clones.

And then you can't even destroy asteroids by shooting them. What a rip off!

Anyway I'm out buying another Idris.

You can destroy them by crashing into them so I wonder if a size 10 bomb would work? Armageddon style

Perhaps when you have atmosphere, because bombs refuse to drop otherwise :)

You can take them out with the tractor beam and detonate them on demand

Yeah pretty much all ordinance can be removed/replaced/refilled with tractor beams now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

yeah but certainly not detonated.

It's all been downhill since then

Pretty optimistic if you ask me

time obviously is a log scale here

I've promised myself I wouldn't buy star citizen until release.

I am never buying star citizen.

I have forgotten about it and later rediscovered it so many times now

It will leave behind a great legacy of making every carpet bagger with a glint in their eye a game dev kickstarter... and like a dozen crowdfunded gems.

I doubt it'll ever get out of beta tbh

By doing this you just pushed the release until the end of baryonic age
