A wild week brings us a lot of interesting developments in Star Citizen. 3.21 has entered the open PTU as a harbinger for big backend changes, the jump point has shown up as an unmarked location as well, and major changes to data mining present complications for item services like Erkul, and all gameplay for players going forward.

Alpha 3.20 is available now, and in good fashion, has stumbled out of the gate. While there are some frustrating initial issues, underneath the hopefully temporary setbacks lies an actually pretty enjoyable patch. Today I’m joined by Youtuber @Farrister to discuss the new patch, the rest of the year ahead of us, and the further reveal of persistent hangars and how cargo hauling will work long-term. Hope you enjoy!

LevelCapGaming came into regular Star Citizen coverage HYPED (my interview from that time is linked below), but it’s been 18 months of thick Star Citizen development cycle fatigue. So how is he faring now after delays, mistakes, and instability, and what’s the outlook for the game's future? This is a good one, folks, There is a lot of discussion from LevelCap’s unique perspective. I hope you enjoy it!

There has been a hefty dose of reading on and in between the lines this past week. With a 3.21 confirmation, 4.0 will not be coming this year, and with 3.20 approaching, new features and quality-of-life fixes are making the patch sound much better than previously thought. This week I’m joined by SaltEMike to discuss all the latest Star Citizen news and what we expect for 3.20, 3.21, and the rest of the year.

With 3.20 in testing on the PTU, players continue to dig into any possible changes we didn’t already know about. With the Hull C and a new addition to the cargo refactor included, I sat down with cargo hauling Youtuber Jack Axton to get a clue on whether cargo hauling, supply and demand, or the economy in general may have changed to bring the excitement back to cargo hauling in alpha 3.20.
