There's quite a lot you can do in game and there are tons of ships with many different specializations (cargo, salvaging, mining, exploration, fighters, bombers, corvettes). Some need multiple players to crew effectively

PVE - Cargo delivery missions (from small to large size) - Bounty hunting (in space and on planet) - Mining - Salvaging - Cave exploration/rescue - Escaping from prison

PVP - Bounty/pirate hunting

Just search for Star Citizen content on YouTube. You fill find a lot. My favorites are https://www.youtube.com/@CaptainBerks and https://www.youtube.com/@Morphologis

Basically, procedural trash grinds?

Squadron 42, the cinematic, single player, space campaign, was supposed to come out in 2014!

Isn't that all games though? Especially MMO's. Why do people think it's so much different for star citizen than any other game? At the end of the day, they're all just entertaining ways to waste time.

Because they were explicitly selling a wing commander type game as part of the package.

Perhaps you don't know how evocative that is, and how cynical it is for you to compare that to procedural MMO quests.

They're very different things. It's like paying for a gourmet meal and then being given a month's supply of tasteless protein bars.

Isn't StarCitizen funded by their Kickstarter though?

So it would be more like someone asks you for money so they might make you a meal, of unknown quality with unknown timeline, and won't promise you anything even after you pay them. Which is standard for a Kickstarter.
