Average experience in 4.8: - call ship from terminal - either stuck, or shows deliver in wrong hangar, and of course, there is no ship when you go down to your hangar - load up cargo for Covalex mission, port Tressler does not respond to a landing request because they are busy with so many players doing many exciting game loops - you type the location in the map, and the route does not work, because it is alpha, you simpleton, this is the revolution in gaming - to make a working map would require at least 10 more years and an additional billion dollars - you go to the Nyx gateway to jump to another system, fly through the hole, and you are returned back, because realism, and we cannot understand quantum physics well - you go back to your hangar and ship despawns while you are in a driver's seat, because what did you want? a game? You invested 1 billion dollars in alpha development, you silly, it means everything will be broken all the time, code does not work like building foundations and implementing features on a stable, efficient code base, no no no pumpkin, we are building the features beyond your comprehension, like inventory where you can put things, nobody did this before - and as a cherry on top - the train that goes through textures into outer space - the pinnacle of our development of realistic physics, requiring deep knowledge of quantum and quarks And what did you expect? You thought that you supported a project and for that developers will be attentive and target stability and playability? Of coarse core critical game-breaking features will be broken all the time because reasons, I mean alpha. It is not that you paid developers tons of money, and the only thing that makes a decade-long game development project even possible - is that people actually can play it. No, you silly, pay money and wait for 20 years. And hey, if you write an essay and we deem you a chosen one - then you can be allowed to spend 5k on a warship! Because you are not an apex predator? And yes, Voyager took 3 years and 900 million, sequencing the human genome took 13 years and 2 billion, human cell atlas took 10 years and 1 billion, LIGO - the equipment that detects gravitational waves of stars exploding at the distance of 500 million light years took 1 billion and 15 years - but here we are building a game, a revolution, we achieved half broken map and inventory, behold and kneel.
