Yeah I can agree that it sucks major ass right now. The idea is cool, but it does get very annoying when re-buying stuff after dealing with bugs. One change that could fix all of this is getting to take out insurance on not just your ship, but your ship and everything in it (not including, like, ore or something. Only stuff you can buy.). So if I ever claim a ship, I could make that specific ship come with a specific set of armor, specific personal guns, ammo, medical supplies, and even food and water.

I do like shopping for stuff. But if I already know what I'm buying, especially if it's the same stuff every time, I'd like my ship to come with it.

On a side note, drinking while in the pilot seat should be automatic, or at least very easy. I get so thirsty just sitting in my seat flying or idling/waiting.

But the idea of having to tend to bodily needs is something I definitely agree with and think is fun for a simulation, at the base level.

Edit: on many of the bigger ships, like the mercury star runner, there should certainly be waste recycling to provide you with water. It has toilets. It's meant to sustain life for a long time. It has a bed and a fridge. There's no reason to not let the ship help keep us hydrated.

Modern astronauts can drink while in their suits, why is this an issue in Star Citizen? It makes no sense.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I agree with you in concept, but I think certain suits wouldn't make sense with that functionality. The skin-tight EVA suits with the small helmets, that have just a few minutes of oxygen I feel wouldn't have the room/capability to allow the user to eat/drink hands-free. But there are several suits that are bigger, and designed for extended exploration sessions that have tons of oxygen storage and larger helmets/built-in backpacks that would absolutely have other life support like food/water built-in.

The smaller suits are designed just in case you need to EVA, and many ships have dining areas so you can pop the helmet off and enjoy a meal in comfort.
