Haven't seen a topic like this so figured I would start one.
Basically, what would you ideally like to do in the game when it is launched?
Myself I would like to start a "Exploration Security" service to start with then eventually use it to finance my own deep space exploration on the side.
as of yet though I have not decided on which ship(s) would be best for providing security services for exploration missions (open to suggestions) as they would need to be Fighters/Gunships Equipped for Long range trips without sacrificing much firepower. (Leaning towards a Vanguard Warden/Redeemer)
for the deep space exploration, yep you guessed it, i'm thinking the Endeavor class would be the best ship to aim for as a goal, might start doing some exploration with a 315p/Freelancer DUR (or Carrack if it comes out) though.
What I really want is a FAST PACED space shooter with rewards reminiscent of Star Raiders for the 5200 Atari. I want the graphics to be outstanding and sleek. On the reward side, I'd like to pilfer better equipment from damaged enemy ships. I'd like to earn rank. I'd like to rescue hostages from damaged enemy ships. I'd like sessions to be about 30 minutes long with a feeling of reward and satisfaction. I want it to be win or lose rather than a never-ending meaningless open sandbox.
No cinematic scenes (boring!)
No long, boring space flights with no action
No emptiness of space (boring!)
No complicated controls or physics
No ridiculous love stories, plots, sub plots
Realism is ok, but not at the expense of fun experience
From what I can see, Star Citizen is doing basically what other space games have been doing for years now, but taking it to a new level. What I want is a fast paced space shooter. I think Star Citizen will not be the game for me.
I am planning on focusing on EWAR and hacking/security. I plan on mostly being a crew member on someone else's ship. I have no interest in dog fighting, and the only time I will do any piloting is for either personal transport or piloting a large ship.
I want to race the M50, pirate frigates, be a bounty hunter, overturn planets, colonize asteroids, discover aliens, and (if possible) invent new technologies. This game has tons of flexibility, I just can't afford it right now.
I will launch in my Aurora LX, and admirer all the Idris/Constellation etc players blotting out the sun. It will be asif I joined a universe where everyone else is a shittonne richer then me and I'm nothing but a scrub.. oh wait... damnit..
this using my ships, some thriving forest world full of alpine trees so @Logan can frolic freely, Like Forest Moon of Endor but pine trees.
Race my 350r and use it to deliver info faster than anyone else, and have it be my "daily driver"
Use my Freelancer MAX as my "pickup truck" doing odd shipping jobs for whoever is paying OR use it as long voyage transport for people who don't want to be noticed
Take my Constellation Taurus to move cargo my freelancer cant. OR completely strip it and have a 61 meter long go kart of a ship using those 4 TR5's OR armor the fuck out of it to the point where it s a flying rock OR cruise around the galaxy with the swell folks of the TS org doing who knows what OR... placeholder for more awesome things
I got a feeling @Logan would want to frolic on a mountain like Forrest Gump and run all over it...and possibly call his ship a shrimpin boat (just guessing at this point)
