Launch Sequence with Space Tomato

Star Citizen is well known for selling ships, but lately, things seem to be more hectic than usual. I’m joined by Execute to deep dive into the inner workings of ship sales, how CIG maximizes profit from them, and how long things may go on like this.

With DefenseCon behind us, records broken, and $1 Billion passed, there’s a lot to talk about that’s actually NOT gameplay related. Today I’m joined by Farrister to look at the Anvil Odin, The DefenseCon event, and the possiblities of Squadron 42 not releasing this year, to take stock of the current state f things in 2026.Today’s Guests: @Farrister  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@FarristerToC:00:00 Introductions02:30 Things Have Been Rough16:30 Was 4.8 A Good Update?27:00 How Was DefenseCon 2026?45:00 The Anvil Odin…What?01:25:19 Is Squadron 42 Delayed Again?Audio Podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/launchsequenceWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvpiPXCO7OVJOlBIclW9tbpb2g29gur3IAudio Podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/launchsequenceStart a Star Citizen account with 50000 extra credits in your pocket by using the referral code link below.

Star Citizen Alpha 4.8 was a rough launch, the Ironclad came out half-working, a new $5000 ship concept just sold out in minutes, and the game has passed $1b raised. Star Citizen is the best it’s ever been, but also extremely exhausting and confusing for some at the moment. I’m joined by Grolo to discuss Star Citizen’s backend issues, big ship sales, and the major wins the game is currently achieving.
