Launch Sequence with Space Tomato

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.

With the recent Starfield showcase, there have been many questions about how it might impact Star Citizen. There’s no denying Star Citizen has struggled with development speed, and many are ready for a more polished experience. But there is a reason people continue to play the game and many more reasons players might stick with it in addition to Starfield. In this episode, Youtuber Loud Guns joins me to discuss this reason and how players might look at these 2 games going forward.

Since 2017 Star Citizen has jumped back and forth between barely playable and passable. Throughout all this time a combination of server and client-side optimizations needed to be made to improve the game. Some of these optimizations have occurred, but many more are needed.

So what does it take for your PC to run the game at 60 FPS, how long until we can all enjoy that stability, and is 2023 the worst performance we’ve ever had? Today I’m joined by Star Citizen benchmarker TenPoundFortyTwo to discuss.

As a gamer who comes from the likes up KOTOR, Mass Effect, and Deus Ex for my sci-fi fix in gaming, RPGs have a special place in my heart. So a new space RPG has all of my attention. The sci-fi game genre has been struggling for quite some time, creating the chance for something new to tentpole the genre. Will Starfield be that mainstream, quality space game the industry has been waiting for? Today, I’m joined by The Astro Historian to discuss everything we saw in the Starfield showcase in June and give our thoughts on who might enjoy the game.

Star Citizen has a lot of things going for it, in my opinion, but it’d be pure denial to say there aren’t some crucial ways the game could improve for its players.

2023 is shaping up to be the best year for Star Citizen “gameloops” the core careers like mining, cargo hauling, piracy, salvage, engineering, and racing all seem to be getting major upgrades. Along with this, there’s just plenty of development going on. I invited Youtuber Farrister on the show for a mid-year check-in on what Star Citizen even is in 2023, and whether you should be trying it.

As is tradition, the final weeks of May have revealed new ships and possible new plans for Star Citizen as a whole. But the new ships this year tell a slightly different story than before. This week I’m joined by Launch Sequence regulars The Astro Historian and execute from the Inforunners to discuss the new Mirai Fury, Tumbril Storm, RSI Lynx, and what their arrivals may mean for the immediate future of Star Citizen.

The Banu Merchantman, the MISC Expanse, the Hull C, these large ships have been sold with big promises of exciting and unique gameplay, but most still haven’t arrived. Today I’m joined by one of the biggest voices in star citizen ship content on Youtube STLYoungblood. We’ll be talking about the most exciting ship concepts, and what they could do for the game when they are built.

Recorded: May 12, 2023

PS. Yes, we missed the Endeavor, we couldn’t get to everything unfortunately.

Welcome to the Launch Sequence episode 100, it’s a long time coming, but I couldn’t be more proud of it. I hope you enjoy it! 8 different interviews were conducted over the last few weeks to understand the thought process of people covering Star Citizen after the most turbulent update in the game’s history. With so many questions about the priorities of the game, who the game is currently being made for, and if it’s even worth playing right now, I couldn’t just get the answer of 1 or 2 people!

Over the last couple of years, there has been a noticeable shift of players from Elite Dangerous to Star Citizen. Being a very similar genre of game, this sort of switch makes sense, but I wanted to get a first-hand account of why exactly it was happening. This week, Elite Dangerous Youtubers Yamiks & Down To Earth Astronomy join me to discuss the case of the Elite Dangerous refugees.
