I love this game but ...
there is no reason to play it after you get to a certain level
ok if you just want to fly around in space shooting stuff thats fine but
if you want capships space stations etc they just arnt there
ok I know you can build a capie but
a) they are next to useless and waaaaay to hard to build
b) there is no way for a player or guild to build a space station even tho there are hundreds of empty sectors of space to put them in

I know this looks like a whinge post but it isnt

I think if there were player owned/built stations and capships were easier to make there would be a lot more people playing this game

I know some of this in the pipe so to speak ... but in the pipe dont cut it for a lot of folk

noob: do you have capships /stations ... no .. ok i'm off

all this sort of stuff should have been in from day 1 not soon(tm)

This is the suggestions forum, not the whining forum. Yes, you are actually whining. Saying otherwise doesn't change reality. You already acknowledge that the things you are suggesting are in the pipes. In other words, the devs already intend to work on that stuff as soon as they can. So what are you suggesting? Nothing at all.

If this stuff needed to be in from day 1, there would be no game, because they wouldn't have been able to afford to make the game in the first place.

I agree with Rin, whining about this is not going to help (I recall you've whined more than once on this issue).
You are whining.
There are 4 developers, and we're already pushing them as hard as any playerbase can, and we are probably the whiniest lot ever. And at the same time we are the most understanding. The tridents are no longer useless, you are able to man your own turret and blockade space, haul huge amounts of cargo, and while the docking becomes an issue, have a friend help you.

It all sounds great and easy when you say "just dump schematics for a player built station and let us make one" but you don't know what kind of development time this takes, especially considering they are keeping their heads above the water by an inch. If you really cared about player retention, you'd go to a capitol system, and start training people. Make a few more nationalists, or traders, or even pirates. This game becomes loads more fun with numbers.

While I am primarily a combat pilot, I have built a capship, and it was difficult, yet rewarding. Instead of whinging about the things we don't have, how about suggesting some things that would improve the game, little things that keep someone playing, not just raving on and on about the same thing.

Drevent: I love this game but ...

VO: You're breaking up with me aren't you?

Drevent: there is no reason to play it after you get to a certain level

VO: YOU ARE!!! YOU ARE BREAKING UP WITH ME!!!

Drevent: ok if you just want to fly around in space shooting stuff thats fine

VO: But I'm an open ended Roleplayer: There is no endgame! There's so much more to me than just shooting! I am a theatre-of-the-mind! I let you play out your fantasies in my chatline! Win friends and allies with your charm and panache, taunt trolls and enemies into making foolish attacks upon you, bring together your most trusted compadres to make a guild that lasts for years and years...

Drevent: but if you want capships space stations etc they just arnt there

VO: I gave you everything! Conquerable stations prevent all 7680 sectors from being filled with player-built stations. Trident Type M's were put in game before they were ready because you pushed me so hard *sobs*

Drevent: ok I know you can build a capie but

VO: SEE?!!! *sobs louder*

Drevent: a) they are next to useless and waaaaay to hard to build

VO: Useless?!!! not as useless as a level 21 miner!

Drevent: b) there is no way for a player or guild to build a space station even tho there are hundreds of empty sectors of space to put them in

VO: you've been lurking on the Star Citizen forums, haven't you?!?!

Drevent: I know this looks like a whinge post but it isnt

VO: I KNEW it! You're breaking up with me! *MOAR SOBS*

Drevent: I think if there were player owned/built stations and capships were easier to make there would be a lot more people playing this game

VO: maybe there ARE a lot more people playing, and I'm just seeing them behind YOUR back?"

Drevent: I know some of this in the pipe so to speak ... but in the pipe dont cut it for a lot of folk

VO: So, i just don't "put out" enough for you? is THAT it?

noob: do you have capships /stations ... no .. ok i'm off

VO: I call that speed-dating.

Drevent: all this sort of stuff should have been in from day 1 not soon(tm)

VO: I thought we had something special! Now you say you NEVER loved me?!!! Oh God! I'm gonna go cut myself...
