So somebody fantasizing about EVE style player empires and also the idea that SC would be literal magic enabling them to do things, then?
I used to lurk those forums, and yes, many big spending fans did actually believe that they'd have EVE Online except first person and fully sandboxed accordingly.
There's a big overlap between that and the weird fantasies about people who blow up their spaceship getting sentenced to work thousands of real time hours doing hard labor in space prison.
Star Citizen does have a laughably corrupt and fucked up privatized prison system that is meant to make players miserable for having the wrong kind of fun in game where you're expected to do slave labor for a private corporation until you are allowed to leave, or you can try to escape in a scripted janky sloppy platform gamey way that has a giant assembly line of attemptees trying to survive the greatest challenge of it: lag and janky fall-through-the-world physics.
