EP 175 - Time is Running Out For Star Citizen 4.0 in 2024 (Ft. TenPoundFortyTwo)

One of the major shifts in Star Citizen’s development over th elast year has been the focus on base building and crafting. A potential “endgame” option for many, and a catalyst for a lot of player gameplay, this is an important part of the game, and just last week CIG delivered a HUGE update on details surrounding the gameplay involved. I’m joined by Youtuber and miner, RedMonsterSC, to discuss.

A new medium sized combat ship has been released, and it seems primed for running missions in a small group. But where does it fit in? Who is the Anvil paladin for? In other news, master modes are no more. The flight model is making a shift away from master modes but maintaining some of the hallmark features of the flight model system, today I discuss the complications and ramifications with Farrister.

Today I’m joined by return guest, Croncy, to talk about the changing nature of Star Citizen, from solo to group play, from A to B to A through Z, from time to kill, to time to board.

One of the most beloved MMOs of all time, it unfortunately died out due to decisions outside of its initial design. Star Citizen seemingly has taken a lot of what made that game great and has plans for it to exist in Star Citizen 1.0.

Star Citizen’s reputation among the general public precedes itself. Many don’t know what’s actually going on with a game that many consider to be a scam. But many not constantly involved find themselves curious, intrigued, and even excited. Today I’m joined by Youtuber Luke Stephens to discuss the outside view of the game, how CIG could affect that view, and what’s currently going on with the game.
