Is this a game or a glorified trading card series?

Another money grab, whenever the incoming money slows down, they make a commercial to sell me ships.

After being lured into the series by CR name and the promise of dogfight style combat, I got backstabbed when they swapped to physics based to please the vocal minority. Screw the game and CR, although their customer service was nice enough to give me back 85 percent of my original backer money.

*quality @VoodooV you playing this already?

Thanks @kulpims.

Ive been a backer for a year and a half. So I've had access to their "pre pre pre pre pre pre Alpha" for some time now which allows you to walk around the hangar and see the ships you've purchased and climb into the cockpits and walk around, etc. Limited multiplayer dog fighting is available and some co-op modes. but not many of the ships are available for combat yet.

I've purposely not played it very much though. I could never be a game tester despite how much I game. I don't have a ton of patience for bugs and I just don't want to get burnt out on the game. I'd rather play the released game. but it is wild to see it grow and evolve right before your eyes.

Believe it or not though. I do get Mordhaus's frustration. The crowdfunding campaign has been going on for WAY longer than anyone has intended. CR himself never expected this kind of support. I've got hype fatigue myself. I get worn out following this game. the downvote was unnecessary though.

I've been checking their site and I'm thinking of buying one of the cheaper battle packages

Finally some Cutlass love.But yeah, I'm suffering hype burnout...

FPS reveal at PAX AU in 3 weeks! HYPE MACHINE RETURNS!

A game comprised almost solely of marketing, to the point where you're buying into marketing of fictionalized marketing for fictionalized products (where the ultimate product is, so far, itself fictitious).

...said someone who knows nothing about the game.

the game is out..albeit in a very very early alpha state. you can play it right now, which by definition makes it very non-fictional

Its perhaps the shinyness of commercials and shipmodels compared to the very shallow gameplay that rubs people the wrong way... A reevaluation of priorities might be in order.... thats the vibe i am getting from it.
