But there’s the thing – despite the bugs, I still find myself wanting to take my ship out for a spin. However, they are still early in the development and not without bugs or balance issues. You can already trade, bounty hunt and mine both in space and on planets. These are just some of the careers planned in the game and some of them are already in. Star Citizen Careers: Trading/ Mining/ Repair/ Salvage/ Bounty Hunting/ Medical/ Refueling Which is why you have to be deliberate with how you utilize your bigger toys and might still want to use your smaller ships most of the time. You can insure it, but it will still need to be rebuilt by a factory and you might still have to replace components or upgrades and the experienced crew you lost. Losing a capital ships is going to be a costly affair. Capital ships have a big target on their backs and as WW2 taught us, big ships are vulnerable to bombers and torpedos and need adequate fighter escorts. It doesn’t get better than this.īut bigger is not always better. Big guns firing hundreds of shots at each other, while smaller fighters buzz around, torpedos fly and miss and anti-fighter Gattling guns light up the darkness. Capital ship combat is designed like WW2 style gun battles between battleships or cruisers. Personally, I think the combat is closer to Battlestar Galactica than Star Trek or Star Wars but with the benefit of hundreds of millions of dollars in additional funding and decades of tech advancement. If you want to get a feeling of what’s it like, think “space opera”. Speaking of WW2, combat is essentially WW2 dogfighting with some cold war missiles/ stealth tech blended in. You even have heavy fighters like the Vanguard series which is reminiscent of the P-38 Lightning from WW2. Medium fighters can have stealth (Sabre), be good at brawling (Hornet) or be glass cannons (Hurricane). Small fighters like the Galdius and Arrow are fast and nimble. Because these maps are only meant for small skirmishes, performance is very very good. There is a mode called Arena Commander where you can go against other players or AI in small pre-generated maps. Ship combat is fun and has been fun since at least 2015.
