It's not pay-to-win, not limited to 32-bit precision (so far WC is limited to little maps of about 2 x 2 x 2 km), no war-thunder arcade-mode mouse controls, no cut-scenes, the feeling of flight and speed is excellent, and you already have a 55 system sandbox to play in (opens up to 500 on the 30th, with Beta 2.0).

There's an Imperial senator in the area (near Eranin) with a battlecruiser (or to use the Imp term, a Majestic class interdictor).

If the Feds go in, Eranin is likely to petition the Empire for help, and we'll see two 2 km long capital ships and their escorts clash in the rebelling system. That will be a spectacular way to finish the 30th anniversary celebrations, and set the stage for Beta 2.00

Asp Explorer. The procedural wethering looks pretty nice too:

Nice asp.

Sorry, I'm so sorry.

The thread needs more gratuitous Asp shots

Get them off Reddit (where else)

Beta 2.0 is out

Played for an hour earlier. Mind blown again.

Game looks gorgeous, and the feeling of speed is increased. I got a real thrill of speed when chasing an NPC pirate in my sidey. First time in a long, long while I felt a fear of going too fast in a game!!

Everything is beautiful.

So much easier to make money.

Sidey flies amazingly and the default loadout has some real bite. Best starter ship ever <3

All the customisation options!! Squee!

Blech. I wish Star Citizen was closer to Freelancer than another bloody MMO. I don't want to interact with people, dammit, I just want to explore a world and shoot things without feeling bad.

Elite has a lovely solo-online mode for that. Works like a charm.
