In the video, Mannings shares his frustrating experience with a Star Citizen bug that caused all his carefully mined cargo to glitch into one immovable spot and eventually explode upon reaching New Babbage, resulting in the loss of hours of effort and valuable resources. He expresses his disappointment with persistent game bugs, reflects on their impact on gameplay, and invites viewers to share their experiences while encouraging them to stay tuned for more content.
In this video, Mannings shares a frustrating experience he had while playing Star Citizen, specifically during a resource mining session that lasted about three hours. He was carefully mining and loading cargo into his ship, the Asgard, but encountered a bug where all the cargo was being placed into one spot, making it impossible to move. This glitch seemed to be related to moving too quickly during loading, causing the cargo space numbers to not update properly, which made him very nervous about losing his hard-earned resources.
Despite his cautious approach, Mannings noticed the cargo space numbers fluctuating inconsistently, which further heightened his anxiety. He had accumulated around 180 units of cargo, including valuable materials like quantanium, which he planned to sell for a significant profit. He debated whether to buy more cargo but decided against it to avoid risking more loss due to the bug. Confident that the cargo was loaded correctly after monitoring the numbers, he proceeded to transport the goods to New Babbage to sell them.
Unfortunately, upon reaching New Babbage and requesting his hangar, the cargo suddenly exploded without any warning or visible cause on the radar or map. This explosion resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of credits worth of cargo and effectively wiped out three hours of his mining efforts. Mannings expressed his deep frustration with the bug, emphasizing how such glitches make the game feel discouraging, especially when so much time and effort are invested.
He also reflected on previous bugs in Star Citizen, such as invisible asteroids and hidden landing gear causing crashes, suggesting that these persistent issues detract from the overall gameplay experience. Mannings admitted feeling disheartened and considering giving up on the resource drive due to these repeated setbacks. He also mentioned additional gameplay frustrations, like malfunctioning lifts, which contribute to the overall negative experience.
Towards the end of the video, Mannings invited viewers to share their experiences and thoughts on the bug, hoping for some community insight or solutions. He also promoted his referral code for new players and an affiliate discount for impound services. Despite his disappointment, he encouraged viewers to stay tuned as he planned to continue playing and sharing his Star Citizen adventures.
