And I should add “…those with the wealth and charisma to create spectacle in its place…” we ar talking about “Rocket Boy” A prophecy for what was then 2022

The biggest issue was globally around 2016 and the emergence of “post truth” ideology was never resisted more vigorously Timothy Snyder in 2021 “Post-truth is pre-fascism... When we give up on truth, we concede power to those with the wealth and charisma to create spectacle in its place…

Something for the weekend (French edition 🇫🇷) Audrey Tautou

They do genuinely look to be in love - a refreshing change from other celeb romances And at least Travis is going to get a wing soon…perhaps as consolation for the Chiefs not winning a Super Bowl!😅

She is Fantastic…shame there is only 1 of her 🥵

Completed the Rouge Geist armour (without backpack) and the Whiteout Geist armour (with backpack) Not bad for the last run before 2 weeks away from the verse exploring the South of 🇫🇷 and 🇪🇸 Also have left spare looted armour on Everus Harbour to give back to the verse #Karma #StarCitizen

The energy core is very cool at the Onyx facilities And some glory shots of the Intrepid #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
Geist armour Desert (no backpack) and base Geist armour (with backpack) Just annoyed my energy anomaly mission data won’t complete to progress to the next mission (completed it 3 times now) but I have got the 5 ASD Secure Drives #starcitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
Happy dance 🙃
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
Having a break from packing and a last play before my holiday at the Onyx facilities The horror details are fantastic, sound and lighting have really created a fantasy atmosphere The next update should be unbelievable if the theme continues #StarCitizen

Has Picard ever asked for Irish Earl Grey? Definitely would make those mission briefings more fun 😂

Loving the horror vibes of the new facilities Can’t imagine the horrors in the 3rd wing when it’s released #StarCitzien
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
So 4.3 is out and I have been exploring Dark Territory and the new ASD Onyx facilities Managed to get a couple of Volt Zenith sniper rifles and Volt Pulse pistols on my first couple of missions #StatCitizen

How do you energise your Org to play Star Citizen…? Give them a few Volts!😅

Astor’s Clearing on Microtech and my RAFT over Hurston… #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
Going “spaceman” to board and retrieve cargo around Hurston #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
Finally made it to Tier 4 rewards for Hurston on Resource Drive Had to do a few small ship under attack and retrieval missions to get there due to the Freight Elevator issues No more cargo for me now…I need a break! #Starcitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
So my fleet is growing and I added the RSI Meteor…getting used to her slowly But those bespoke cannons shore eat up the ammo #starcitizen

Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t think that would be possible but at least elevators would work
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
They need to put a reset button that run code to clear and reset elevator Even as a temporary fix it would at least mean people could continue the mission without giving up
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
I actually have given up Everytime I got pick up cargo, I get the overloaded freight elevator error 9 days on a trot
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)

As I do IT testing, I see this event differently. It’s a load test - they wanted to test the system to the limits. It has been a stress test of core game mechanics. What is surprising is how bad the system has broken. So in a good way I hope this means the fixes delivered should be significant
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
I think they need to do these sort of things as it helps testing. The game is still in Alpha and we should expect “glitches” but at the same time they need to have communicate better
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
4.3 should be pushed back to September in my view. Let’s get more hot fixes done and give them time to polish 4.3 so it’s not a rushed and “similar” experience
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
Not sure why the reaction has been of “shock” We have known about this since 2023…when the law got royal assent

Invisible cargo on a fright elevator Surely all we need is a button on the terminal that clears and resets the elevator…is that 2 simple and obvious of a solution? #StarCitzien
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
After last weekend successful resource drive progress, this week has been painful Elevators not working. “Invisible carbo” blocking lifts… I have abandoned so many contacts… #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
@robertsspaceind.bsky.social Fix the Freight Elevators Nothing else matters - they are crucial to the whole gameplay mechanic

My weekend in the verse is over The workhorse over the last 3 days has been my RAFT over 900 scu’s hauled Not sure I will make it to the level 5 rewards as I have a busy few weeks of work but I am confident I will get to level 4 #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
Managed to hit another reward (HD shotgun) and also managed to see a Reclaimer that was landed That thing has got back! 😅 🎶🎵 I like big ships and I cannot lie.. #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
More life in the verse over the weekend…some resource drive hailing and some salvage to mix it up a bit #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
I change servers if i notice anything odd. I always have my default set to “best” seems to work for me Early was crazy - US players stayed on later I guess. Now it is seems a bit quieter. Tonight will be crazy as everyone will be on there. So I am going to give it a day or continue on Sunday
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s working fine for me!? I am on course for level 3 rewards - already know people on their way towards level 4 and 5…
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
Let’s go Hurston Dynamics! I got my first reward for the Resource Drive for 4.2.1 and well on my way for my 2nd And great team work (or maybe impatience) at resource collection points with “helpers” unloading elevators 😅 #StarCitizen

When you decide to **** off the anime-Tails gang but just killing all of them at a base You just have to watch out for the AT (lost 1/3 of my Intrepid) but managed to skip to Grim Hex RAFT about to jump in Pyro and the Fortune scraping A weekend in the Verse #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
Evenings in the verse after work can be very rewarding, diverse and fun From exploring a shipwreck on Arial A quick 5 minute trip to a PAF on Aberdeen could score you a bounty of ship components (no shots fired!) From trying park your RAFT in a small bay and hauling cargo to earn💰 #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
And I say this as someone who stated playing Star Citizen in January!😅
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social) reply parent
And let’s not forget region locking (the Japan exclusives for PS5 etc) They are killing themselves PC gaming and online hosting is going to kill consoles (I think the next-gen consoles will be the last “real” consoles) and GTA6 will not make a profit

It’s almost like consolidating all developers into massive corporations…and them these corporations releasing the costs of games development have made them made cuts (games and staff) to save money And therefore harming consumers

A weekend in the verse A morning commute… Take off off from Lorville. Finding a wrecked Polaris and having a snoop around it #StarCitizen
Christopher Stone (@chrisstoneuk.bsky.social)
Need some advice for ship upgrades on my Intrepid. I have managed to loot the following ship components. >Power - Regulus and DynaFlux >QT - Drift and VK-00 >Cooler - Bracer No shields so far… Which of the above would you recommend as upgrades on a standard Intrepid? #StarCitizen

RCE hacks are security vulnerabilities in anti-cheat systems - nothing to do with P2P or VPNs Another example of a game where RCE exploits were found www.windowscentral.com/dark-souls-p...

A VPN can solve that…which also has other benefits
