Launch Sequence with Space Tomato Space Tomato

2 months ago Star Citizen youtuber SaltEMike joined me on the show to discuss his feelings for Star Citizen Alpah 3.23. They were hype. Since then some items have been added to the update, and some (big ones) removed. Today we have chance to reconvene and discuss latest feelings about how these features actually ended up feeling in-game, whether the update still feels as exciting, and honest thoughts about persistent hangars and cargo updates being delayed. Enjoy!

Star Citizen Alpha 3.23 is finally in the first wave of public testing. While there is still plenty more to learn about it, we’ve had several hours to test out some of the first features and have quite a bit to say! I’ve invited Beyond The Verse host, Sulyce, on to the show to talk first impressions, when the update may go to live servers, and what could be coming after that!

Engineering gameplay will add a multitude of resources to ships, vehicles, and buildings that players will need to balance and control for maximum efficiency. This could provide a TON more unique gameplay for players, but it also could make ship ownership more difficult. Today I’m joined by Loud Guns to discuss the complexities and reasons for engineering, and whether it may ruin solo gameplay for Star Citizen players.

From the Polaris to the Zeus, Star Citizen has a full spread of ships in production to be delivered in 2024. Some are known and some are not, some are combat and some are industrial. I'm joined by YouTuber Farrister today to provide these ships, talk about what we know of each one, and speculate on when they might be released. If you like spaceships, this one is for you.

- Over the last few weeks Star Citizen has technically achieved it’s 2017 stated goal of a server meshed environment. While there is plenty more work to be done until it runs as needed for the game at large, early results are impressive. With almost 800 players ina single system, jump points leading players to Pyro, and tip top performance like we haven’t seen before, there’s a lot to talk about. Today I’m joined by Hybrid V Audio to discuss the impressive first tests of server meshing, and what comes next.

From sniper changes to reloading upgrades, scanning abilities to sliding mechanics. Star Citizen FPS gameplay has always been rough, but with Alpha 4.0 on the horizon and Star Citizen 1.0 in the minds of the developers, the game needs to pick it up and improve the experience, fast. Today I’m joined by DTOX to discuss how that is happening, and when.
