There’s a free fly happening from now until Dec 4th, you can rent a bunch of ships for free. Just start off at “Microtech” to be at the right place from the start.
You can decide for yourself if it’s good or not.
You’ll want a beefy CPU and at least 32GB of RAM (16GB is doable with modifying your computer’s page file and adding another 16GB from a fast SSD, otherwise the game will usually crash after a few minutes).
It definitely has it’s ups and downs, but it has definitely increased in scope. We’re finally getting a second system (in testing right now, but not available for free fly players).
It’s still a buggy mess, but they’ve implemented some server crash recovery features so the worst that usually happens is that the game freezes up for a minute or two and then you can keep playing.
It’s a lot of fun to play with a group. I haven’t found any other game that really scratches the itch that Star Citizen does…
Thanks for the multiple responses! I have been convinced to give it a shot and put some effort into it. Thanks for the specs reference, I built myself a new PC last fall and tried to go semi higher end so I think I’ll be ok, at least i hope so since nothing has given me issues yet except for ray tracing stuff because I went with AMD.
Got 32gb RAM, ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-F Gaming, AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3d, AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Saphire Nitro+, 2tb m.2 drive for games and a 1tb one for the OS both PCI 4. Also had the monitor for a few years now, but it’s the Samsung Odyssey ultrawide 49" got it when it was on a good sale. Would love the newer version of it but this one still looks great and can’t justify the price when this one is still fine.

Oh yeah, that build will definitely handle it well.
You can still get some major FPS drops in the bigger cities, but for the most part you’ll be fine.
