Star Citizen isn’t just about the ships. There will be a few different ways for players to progress through the game and show their accomplishments. Will the reputation system be enough, though?

July 15, 2024 EP 164 - Is Star Citizen Worth Playing Right Now?(Ft. Hav0k)
Star Citizen is undergoing a lot of change this year. In addition, many areas of the game are as unstable as ever, but the gameplay is coming together in some places, and many players are having more fun than ever. I’m joined by Youtuber Hav0k this week to discuss the current state of the game, where things are headed in the immediate future, and if it’s worth it for you to download the game and try it again, especially with a free fly event currently ongoing.

I’m joined by Jack Axton who got a hands on experience to discuss the details of what makes things so much better for space truckers in Star Citizen.
