I play it and enjoy it. Haven't spent more than $45 and have put in hundreds of hours with friends.

There is a Lemmy SC community but it's pretty dead unfortunately

I think being on Lemmy is part of the issue. The Venn diagram of people who left Reddit for Lemmy and the people who support pie in the sky games like SC doesn't have a whole lot of overlap in the middle, I wouldn't think.

Anyway, any particular gameplay loop you're excited for?

Too true about the venn diagram. If SC was on Linux, I bet the Lemmy community would be thriving lol.

As for what I'm excited for, honestly just new star systems. I'm getting really tired of the original Stanton system as I've done and seen pretty much everything it has. The new system Pyro is apparently supposed to release before the end of the year so that would be really cool to see.

In the meantime we've been doing illegal bounty missions which has you destroying law abiding NPC ships and pirating their loot- it's pretty fun and you can make a fortune doing it :)

Yes, because the problem is the OS it runs on and not that the devs can do nothing but lie.

Squadron 42 was nearly complete and needed polish in 2023 and now we learn a year later it’s delayed till 2026.

Just like the game itself started production in 2011 and has since missed date after date after date and produced an expensive and constantly broken tech demo mess.

But yeah if only it were on Linux and has nothing to do with the misuse of funds and said broken promises

I take it you're not excited for the game. If they could deliver on all of their promises, do you think that you could find some part of it to like?
