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.

Its ruining fiction. Why do people want to "escape" in a story to just another capitalist hellhole. Its fucking space futurism! How has the economic conditions not changed in any way?! How have they made this massive effort to develop industries capable of this level of colonization, terraforming, and fucking countless FTL ships when divided up in such a primitive economy like CAPITALISM!

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

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.

yeah, there should be more stories where characters from a thriving communist society embark on an adventure and the drama is from the adventure, not from living in a dogshit society
