More Star Citizen

 AKA another 1.5 hours of failure.

Spawned at the space station above Hurston. All three of us were in different places but agreed to meet up at Hurston L4. Spawned the Freelancer Max (Lights? Still no. Opening doors? Sometimes) and flew down to Hurston to pick up another player. 10km from the city, the client crashed.

Rejoined the game (no prompt to rejoin instance). Back at the space station. Stuck in animation glitch and can't finish getting out of the bed. After a few minutes of trying to get out of it, exited game.

Server full for the next 5 minutes but managed to rejoin.

Back at the space station. Freelancer is 'destroyed'. Spawn my Avenger (good job I have more than one ship..) and fly to Hurston L4. Meet friend with Mole. Leave Avenger and EVA across. Physics grid throws me into the elevator as I get near it and I take a sucking chest wound. Try to get onto the elevator or get inside, stuck on ship geometry. Glitch in and out of the ship hull for a minute, then die from blood loss.

Back at the space station. Suck up the expedite fee to get my Freelancer back. Fly to Hurston L4 again. Everybody lands this time and we manage to get into the Mole. I am notified that my ship has been impounded because the station decided not to despawn it for some reason after I landed. We fly to a nearby rock! All three mining turrets are manned! Two of us get our first taste of mining (owner of Mole has done it before). The rock blows up. A piece hits us. Ship sent into a 500rpm spin and everyone blacks out. I am somehow flung out of the ship into space, quite dead.

Back at the space station, now with a crime stat for... some reason. Other two players are still alive on the spinning Mole. One and a half hours have elapsed. I log off.

Oh, Star Citizen!
