Launch Sequence with Space Tomato

One of the most beloved MMOs of all time, it unfortunately died out due to decisions outside of its initial design. Star Citizen seemingly has taken a lot of what made that game great and has plans for it to exist in Star Citizen 1.0. Today I’m joined by Morphologis to discuss what made Star Wars Galaxies so great and beloved, and how players may get a second coming of the legend in Star Citizen.

Star Citizen’s reputation among the general public precedes itself. Many don’t know what’s actually going on with a game that many consider to be a scam. But many not constantly involved find themselves curious, intrigued, and even excited. Today I’m joined by Youtuber Luke Stephens to discuss the outside view of the game, how CIG could affect that view, and what’s currently going on with the game.

From the road to Star Citizen 1.0 to the release window of Squadron 42, a lot was shared at CitizenCon over the weekend. I’m joined by Casablack Gaming to try and make sense of it all in just 1 and a half hours.

No matter how much of the features and mechanics in CitizenCon 2024 are delivered, the messaging and direction this event sets for Star Citizen will have ramifications for everybody. The panels shown are much more about the direction of the game than just what is being worked on. To dig deeper into what it all means, I’m joined by Sulyce for 1 last talk before the event kicks off. Hope you enjoy, see you on the other side!

From the Crusader Ares Ion to the Drake Corsair, every ship in Star Citizen will undergo a series of changes between now and “launch”. But why does it happen, and why is it always so surprising? Today I’m joined by fellow ship nerd EvenLease to discuss CIG’s communication around these nerfs, why they occur, and what players should expect regarding their own ships going forward. Queue the conspiracy theories.

A lot is riding on Star Citizen’s 4.0 update and server meshing feature, but what if this was never the direction of the game?

Today I’m joined by TenPoundFortyTwo to discuss the state of server meshing testing, the possibilities of 4.0 delivering this year, and most interestingly what Star Citizen may have been if server meshing was never needed.

Let’s talk the potential reality of Star Citizen 4.0, and what the delivery of this update may look like.

Engineering is the latest long-term promise to start testing in Star Citizen, and in Alpha 4.0, players will be introduced to it through several ships. This feature adds a lot of functions to ships, but it could also add more things to do for players in certain situations. Is this going to ruin solo play, make the game to tedious overall, or give players more power over how they play the game. I discuss with Farrister.

Master Modes has been in player hands for 6 months now, and while it has yet to be iterated on it has gained a lot of criticism. While many enjoy it, many have also been very vocal about their disappointment. One of those people is fellow Youtuber Avenger__One who joins me this week to talk master modes, the flight models, and combat in Star Citizen. But you may be surprised to learn that master modes is not actually the root of his, or many others’ issues. What do you think?
