Warning: Contains ComplainingA lot is going on in Star Citizen, with the company trying to get things fixed and simultaneously release new features, they are struggling to communicate effectively, and find a large portion of the player base just exhausted from glitches, bugs, and problems. Today I’m joined by TenPoundFortyTwo to judge the current efforts to fix the game, communicate about development, and release new ships and vehicles. This one gets deep and a bit emotional, hope you enjoy.Today’s Guests: TenPoundFortyTwoYouTube:  @tenpoundfortytwo  Twitch: twitch.tv/tenpoundfortytwoToC:00:00 Introductions11:20 Introduction The RSI Galaxy18:30 Star Citizen Live Was…Interesting37:40 Can They Salvage the Year?52:30 What Even IS Instancing in 4.10?01:04:10 Are They Actually Fixing The Game?01:16:00 The Rest of The Year

Star Citizen’s 4.10 implementation of instancing is supposed to be the next step in server meshing, dubbed “Quasi-Dynamic” Meshing. But from early signs, the results are mixed. I’m joined by network engineer and Youtuber Grolo to discuss this first addition of instancing to gameplay, and if it means Star Citizen as it has always been dreamed of is simply not going to happen.

Star Citizen has taken a month-long pause to stabilize and get its bearings. With 4.10 in testing, instancing around the corner, and a plan to make the game more stable over the next several updates, players are wondering how much the words of the CTO at CIG will stick. Today I’m joined by The Astro Historian to discuss the state of Star Citizen, the plan to revitalize it in H2 2026, and why it may or may not work.Today’s Guests:  @TheAstroHistorian  YouTube:  @TheAstroHistorian   @TheAstroPubLive  Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theastropubToC:00:00 Introductions05:00 How is Alpha 4.919:00 Is Star Citizen Being Simplified27:00 The Game is Being Fixed?44:40 Where is This Game Going?01:17:40 Foundational Festival and Twitch Drops

The RSI Hermes has killed the RSI Taurus; cargo hauling can make you millions in an hour, and piracy is kinda dead with the state of commodity trading in the game. This and more from the cargo hauling aficionado on the Launch Sequence with me this week as we discuss the state of Star Citizen’s most important profession. Is it worth trying at the moment, and how much money is cargo hauling really going to make you?

Stormbreaker, Hathor, TSG, Rock Cracker, Star Citizen is adding plenty of content nowadays, but is it better than the sandbox we could be playing?

After a very rough 4.8 update cycle, Star Citizen is being brought back to the pit for a short stop in alpha 4.9 for just one month. The goal is to begin a long rehab process to get the game up to a better standard, but isn't that what happened last year? I'm joined by TenPoundFortyTwo to discuss the current plan at CIG, how it could work, and why it won't fix the actual problems.Today’s Guests: TenPoundFortyTwoYouTube :  @tenpoundfortytwo  Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tenpoundfortytwoToC:00:00 Introductions09:25 What Happened to Alpha 4.9?16:00 The “Star Citizen Pattern”48:50 Is Squadron 42 Delayed?01:06:35 Is The Next Month of Star Citizen Dead?01:31:30 What’s Happening The Rest of The Year

One of the most unique gameplay styles in Star Citizen is PvP bounty hunting. But there’s more nuance to it than you might think, and a lot that can be done to improve how players adventure throughout Star Citizen.

Today, I’m joined by Lofty to discuss bounty hunting, the tools used to do it, and how those tools affect everybody playing the game.
