The Black Box

Hey everyone! Star Citizen has been in an odd state for the past couple of months.  We’ve found ourselves mostly keeping an eye on the game over the summer and with the release of 4.10 are wading back into the waters.  So Tamm, zipflame and WittyPhrase are back to share their thoughts on what’s happening in the world of Star Citizen and CIG.  In this episode:

• Analysis of Patch 4.10 and Siege of Orison
• Community feedback and Reddit insights
• The debate over instanced content versus open world
• Development challenges and transparency issues
• Squadron 42 delay and industry implications

In this very special episode of The Black Box, Tamm, Witty and zip are in full blown complaint mode. The game isn't in the greatest state and CIG's prioritization of sales above all else is rubbing some people the wrong way. If you're interested in three grown men complaining about the sorry state of their space game, you've come to the right place.

It's a wipe! Star Citizen 4.8 brings with it a multitude of changes include a VERY thorough wipe of money, ships, consumables, and reputation. It's been a long time since everyone had to kind of "start over," but here we are! This week Tamm, zip and Witty are joined by fellow officers of Aftermath, LLC Pak and Searil to talk about all things 4.8 and DefenseCon:

• Wipe drama!
• Patch instability is rampant, causing CIG to postpone the freefly
• CIG's DefenseCon flagship the Drake Ironclad is plagued by issues related to its new Command Module system.
• M80, Starlite and Tiburon excitement
• Armor and weapon balance changes
