Given the current pace of development, how long would you reckon it might take them to get rid of the bugs, at least, the annoying game-breaking ones? I don't mind incomplete content, but game breaking bugs is something I don't have the patience to deal with. Like, I made the mistake of pre-ordering Cyberpunk - dropped it on day one cause of the bugs and didn't touch it until three years later, when it was finally in a playable state (for me). Just wondering if Star Citizen would reach that sort of bug-free stage within the next couple of years.
Frankly, who the fuck knows lol
If you can't stand bugs, id just hold off entirely until Beta at least. Frankly they've still got a ways to go to just get the basic content in the game, several core gameplay loops like exploration are still missing, and some core pieces of tech like server meshing are still MIA as well.
Could be a year or two, could be another decade, could be never.
My advice for SC is as follows - if the game in it's current state (check it out during a free fly event - which is probably coming up soon) is something you enjoy playing, then grab a starter ship and enjoy, but if you just want to play the "finished" game, then wait. And under no circumstances drop hundreds of dollars on internet spaceships lol - it's really not that hard to grind your way in-game to good ships, and frankly you'll have more fun that way, because there's nothing to do with the most expensive ships right now anyways.
