With 3.20 in testing on the PTU, players continue to dig into any possible changes we didn’t already know about. With the Hull C and a new addition to the cargo refactor included, I sat down with cargo hauling Youtuber Jack Axton to get a clue on whether cargo hauling, supply and demand, or the economy in general may have changed to bring the excitement back to cargo hauling in alpha 3.20.

Starfield is weeks away. Review copies have been shipped, the hype is building, and regular lore drops have given us insight into the setting of the universe we will step into. Today I review that lore with Youtuber The AstroHistorian, and we dive into what is actually a surprisingly interesting setting and atmosphere. Will this game live up to the expectations though?

Some features in Star Citizen are introduced and discussed, but not experienced. The dynamic economy is one of the biggest features that falls into this trap. But what does it include, and why aren’t we seeing it in-game? Today, joined by TheSpaceCoder, I’ll be taking a look at the problems with the economy in Star Citizen, how the Quantum Simulation aims to fix them, and when we might start experiencing it firsthand.

While news is slow, Star Citizen is due for a new update soon. Alpha 3.20 is right around the corner, but still in a pretty unpredictable position in terms of the full feature set and exact timing of the new patch. With features like master modes and a ship like the Hull C coming in, though, there’s a lot to discuss. This week I’m joined by Croncy to look at expected features in 3.20 as well as expected goings on at CitizenCon in October, Star Citizen’s biggest annual event.

One of the biggest launches of the year in 2023 is actually a space game. I couldn’t be happier! But it’s also a video game in 2023, game launches are a tricky lot, now. Is it possible that our excitement for Starfield is leading to overhype? Absolutely! But today I want to talk about WHY that is happening, and of course, acknowledge our biases. Join Morphologis and myself as we discuss the pros and cons of Starfield, and whether it’s worth getting so excited about.

Halfway through the year, I’m afraid the outlook for Star Citizen’s bigger features is not shaping up to be as good as I’d hoped. A lot of work that looked set for Q3 of 2023 is now looking like Q4 (shocked). That doesn’t mean we aren’t still getting a lot of new content throughout the remainder of 2023. This week on the Launch Sequence I’m joined by CasaBlack who keeps a close eye on Star Citizen communication to talk about where some anticipated new ships and features may land throughout the second half of 2023.

Star Citizen is a game built around risk, choice, and consequence. Your preparation and knowledge will help you avoid gameplay you don’t want, and for many that’s PvP. Today I’ll be discussing with Youtuber and streamer Avenger__One the inherent risks of Star Citizen, how you can avoid being attacked by pirates, and how the game will allow you to limit the gameplay you want to avoid.
