Today I’m joined by Youtuber LiefX to discuss the simulation elements of the game, why people feel they are going away, and how it’s possible people also believe the game is getting too complicated.

EP 158 - Star Citizen’s Best Starter Ships & How To Use Them(Ft.DedLeader)
There are tons of ships to try in Star Citizen, but a select group are catered towards first time players. Despite this, these “starter” ships have a lot of benefits to them in the long run. In today’s episode of the Launch Sequence Podcast, I’m joined by Dedleader to discuss what makes a starter ship, and how you can make the most of them as well.

EP 157 - The New Pocket Carrier - The Drake Ironclad
A new concept ship has been introduced to Star Citizen, but with no release date in sight it might not be the most interesting. Despite that, the unique nature of the ship, mixed with a versatile chassis has led to a lot of excitement surrounding the new large freighter. I’m joined this week by Phaseone Gaming to discuss the merits of the ship, and what has us interested.

But what’s included, and why is this the first major version change to Star Citizen since 2017. I’m joine dby Star Citizen streamer Xerostate to discuss the update and its place in the journey to release.
