None of them have the graphic fidelity or immersion that remotely close, it has no space ship interiors or seemless atmospheric entry. Nor the future potential scope of engineering ships etc..

Starcitizen is probably one of the most technologicaly advanced games out there currently barring something rockstar produces in the near future.

You're just ignorant.

Yes youre missihg something, SC on slower disks (even ssds) sucks it needs to be on an NvME drive for best performance

It fails to load geomoetry on slower disks sometimes, i.e. insides of an elevtator which causes the player to clip through and the game tries to compenstate and cause funky reactions.

There will be news about it next month during the annual citizencon. Whether its good news I cannot say though.

Curious, not saying its your fault but did you have the game installed on Nvme/ssd? On a standard HDD even with high r/w speeds the game is borderline unplayable.

Also free fly weekends are when the game is at its worst, the servers are bought to its knees.

Again, no fault to the player and its completely on CIG but its a shame that a lot of players never get to see the game in its best light because free fly is a nightmare.

I also do missions daily without much disruptions. As long as the servers aren't overwhelmed its fine

Its pretty impressive if you go in with an unbiased outlook

IF you have the hardware to run it and you're a scifi nerd its mindblowing the first time around, even after 3000 hours i still have moments when i'm mindblown. (Recently had a tank that shot my friends ship from the sky during an ingame event)

I've tried NMS and Elite, Elite was on the right path but fell off hard.

Starcitizen is for better or worse unlike any other. Until another game comes where me and my friends can hop onto a capital ship and travel to planets etc seemlessly - ill switch. But nothing on the horizon yet.

Also love the ground vehicle gameplay too and its quite underrated.

They've already exceeded the 100 player limit (previously 50). Theres rumours they're going to increase this to 200+.

I've got over 3k hours at this point roughly, so i maybe slightly biased

The game has major ups and downs, but nothing really comes close to the same feeling of being on a capital ship with your friends pulling out from a beautiful space port. I wish there was a better alternative but there isn't, nothihng really comes close.

Performance has vastly improved from 50 players per server to 110 now i beleive? And i think theres talks of increasing it further.

Probably collaboration hubs, client meetings etc.
