CitizenCon 2024 has come to pass, and thoughts around the game have changed. Whether it was the Squadron 42 demo or the solidified vision of Star Citizen 1.0, it’s hard not to feel like something changed in expectations for the project overall. Today Citizen Central takes a deep dive in to the biggest talking points to discuss the highlights and surprises of the event.

We are less than a month away from CitizenCon, but with no schedule for the big event released just yet, the possibilities of what we might see range wildly. Today several creators will join me to discuss what they think we will see at CitizenCon, and what their plans are for the big day.

Star Citizen 4.0 has taken quite a while to reach players, the player base has all kinds of opinions about the game, but what’s really going on.

Exploration in space games can come in many different shapes and sizes, but Star Citizen has never comprehensively defined all the parts of its own version. I wanted to discuss the things we know, the things CIG has hinted at, and what the community has speculated may be included.

For this talk I brought together members of the community from touring, industrial surveying, deep space exploration, and org-based gameplay to discuss their own perspectives.

This is a speculation-heavy discussion, but you’ll find a good amount of CIG-sourced info about the gameplay as well. Hope you enjoy!

Star Citizen’s new character customizer offers players a great base for building their unique avatar. But there is a lot more that goes into customizing your persona than just that initial character-building session. Today I’ve invited a few creators to join me in discussion the new creator, what make a good one, and how customization goes beyond this tool.

While Star Citizen players have been expecting a feature update after Squadron 42 was completed, we didn’t know how or when it exactly it may happened. After this week’s Star Citizen live, we are aware of most ofthese additions coming in 3.23. Today I’m joined by Croncy, Olli43, and Beyond The Verse to discuss these sudden developments, and what they could mean for the rest of the year.

With another IAE over many citizens are walking away with new ships. And recent additions both concept and in-game like the Zeus Mk 2, Hull C, Syulen, & Arrastra have helped make November 2023 the biggest funding month in Star Citizen’s history. But is there a possibility of ship redundancy and overlap, and is that even a bad thing? Today me and several Star Citizen youtubers discuss the newest ships, and whether there is such thing as too many ships in Star Citizen.

Star Citizen has had a less-than-stellar reputation amongst casual gamers for most of its life, but with CitizenCon, Server Meshing advancements, increasing new features, and Squadron 42 reaching the polishing phase, it does feel like things are shifting a bit. I’m joined by fellow YouTubers  @SaltEMike , @HybridVAudio , @RedMonsterSC , and  @Farrister  to discuss recent Star Citizen news and events, and what it could all mean for the future of the game.

Every year Citizen Con brings features near and in the very distant future, and every year it is tradition to guess what we might see. This year I’m joined by SaltEMike, Bored Gamer, VoiDude, and Olli43 to guess at what we might see at the event this year, and what of that might matter for players anytime soon.

We have been on the road to 4.0 for a few years, now. 2023 is looking less and less likely to be that year. The flow of information has slowed, and player feels meaningful changes are slow due to PES slowing down deliveries. Is it really that bad? How does this compare to the pre-3.0 drought? What can we expect for the rest of the year? All this and more today on Citizen Central with a few of the longest running Star Citizen content creators on Youtube.
