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.

EP 156 - Star Citizen 4.0 Is Almost Here - The Road To 1.0
We’ve waited years for Star Citizen 4.0, and even now the update is not technically in our hands. But there are reasons to believe the next update is the vaunted server meshing update, and we may see it this summer according to a new roadmap update. 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.

EP 155 | Is 3.23 The Time To Try Star Citizen Again? & What Comes After?(Ft.TheAstroPub)
With Star Citizen 3.23 finally released to the public, a lot of quality improvements have been made to the game. Between gameplay, UI, backend systems, and general content, it seems there might be enough in-game to convince old players to return, and new players to give it a try. In this episode, Youtube TheAstroPub and I discuss what may bring new players back, and what comes next.

EP 154 - BONUS | What Star Citizen Needs For “Release” Part 1
This original recording of episode 154 was video corrupted and lost the last 20 minutes of the recording. For this reason, the audio only will be released as a bonus episode, and a new version of this will be published next week. In this episode, I discuss with Star Citizen streamer Xerostate what various parts of the game may need to be developed or improved on for this game to reach a 1.0 release state.

EP 153 | Why Players Switch Genres for Star Citizen (Ft. YoyoMeg)
Everybody has a different story for how they found their main game, no matter what it is. Star Citizen ends up bringing many players from games that may not traditionally lead to a space flight MMO sim, but that’s because they game aims for much more. In today’s episode I’m joined by streamer YoyoMeg to talk about her own journey from FPS console shooters to the PC MMO Star Citizen, a journey I and many others share. Hope you enjoy!
