Its ruining fiction. Why do people want to "escape" in a story to just another capitalist hellhole. Its fucking space futurism! How has the economic conditions not changed in any way?! How have they made this massive effort to develop industries capable of this level of colonization, terraforming, and fucking countless FTL ships when divided up in such a primitive economy like CAPITALISM!
Star Citizen is primarily appealing to aging gamedads that want to be cogs in the capitalist machine, but in space. The biggest spenders have literal top hats and monocles with space yachts on top of it all and talk on their forums about how they might allow the space poors to mop the yacht if they beg.
I got star citizen cuz the real-distances of planets and moons and all that was very cool to me, so while I did have fun flying around looking at the temperature gauge on different moons, i realized it wasn't really going anywhere and it sucks that science stuff is probably the least developed part of the game and likely wont change for a while, for all the reasons ive seen you talk about. Need capitalism to end so we can get better space science sims
Did you try Space Engine? Sounds like something that might be for you as it's aiming for maximum realism. The spaceflight part was kinda underdeveloped last time I played it but you can fly ships if you want to.
Also Elite Dangerous has realistic distances between planets too.
yeah, there should be more stories where characters from a thriving communist society embark on an adventure and the drama is from the adventure, not from living in a dogshit society
