I helped out a homeless shelter in Starfield (hexbear.net)

This is a universe with faster than light travel and near infinite resources. There's a homeless shelter in one of the major cities. I helped them out. Why the fuck is there a homeless shelter in a universe with FTL and near infinite resources?

I'm starting to think Fallout under Bethesda isn't a satire and their writers are just incapable of imagining anything beyond capitalism.

Star Citizen is primarily appealing to aging gamedads that want to be cogs in the capitalist machine, but in space. The biggest spenders have literal top hats and monocles with space yachts on top of it all and talk on their forums about how they might allow the space poors to mop the yacht if they beg. capitalist-laugh

I got star citizen cuz the real-distances of planets and moons and all that was very cool to me, so while I did have fun flying around looking at the temperature gauge on different moons, i realized it wasn't really going anywhere and it sucks that science stuff is probably the least developed part of the game and likely wont change for a while, for all the reasons ive seen you talk about. Need capitalism to end so we can get better space science sims

the real-distances of planets and moons and all that

berdly-actually The Stantion System's distances between planets and the planets themselves are only a fraction of the size they'd actually be with the gravity they have. It's miniaturized, which wouldn't matter to me except the hype put out is lying and I don't like that.

Did you try Space Engine? Sounds like something that might be for you as it's aiming for maximum realism. The spaceflight part was kinda underdeveloped last time I played it but you can fly ships if you want to.

Also Elite Dangerous has realistic distances between planets too.
