EP 191 - Star Citizen Will See Some VERY Interesting New Ship Releases in 2025 (Ft. StarJump_GRIM)

After 12 years of development Star Citizen is still adding the initial mechanics and features to Star Citizen, officially that should mean it’s still an alpha, but CIG is treating things a bit differently.Regular maintenance, updates every week, more permanent narratives, and in-game rewards all hint at a game trying to move on, but with so much still missing, is it really ready? Or is it all semantics that don’t matter anyway?

Entering July there’s a lot going on in Star Citizen, 4.2.0 just dropped with 4.2.1 hot on its heels with a new event, quality of life changes, and the return of Stanton security. But there is a bigger picture to look at regarding the year or playability and CIG’s stated goals for the year. Today I’m diving deep into the details of what’s going on and how the current mission is going in 2025.

Today I will be discussing the upcoming changes to the flight model as they were recently discussed by developers at CIG. Star Citizen will be taking a step in the simulative direction with a little artificial help, as it improves atmospheric flight, and tightens the overall experience. From the removal of top speeds to the inclusion of engineering in said speed, there’s a lot to learn!Today’s Guests:Farrister:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@FarristerTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/farristerTwitter: https://twitter.com/thomasfarristerToC:00:00 Introductions2:30 Star Citizen Hathor & StormBreaker13:00 Exploration Gameplay26:30 The New Flight Model35:00 Combat in Atmosphere47:00 “Hover Mode v2”56:40 Is Master Modes Dead?01:09:14 Is The Flight Model Getting Better?Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvpiPXCO7OVJOlBIclW9tbpb2g29gur3ISupport This Podcast:Patreon Paypal Ko-FiFollow Space Tomato on social media:Website  Youtube  My Other Youtube  Instagram  Twitter  Facebook  Discord

With Alpha 4.2 upon us and players getting hands on with the latest in-game activity, I thought it was a good time to sit down and discuss the effectiveness of these “sandbox activities” and whether they are driving the game towards the 1.0 CIG has promised. Also Jump Ship released a demo and I’m really excited about that game so we’re talking about it.Today’s Guests:TheAstroPub:Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/TheAstroPubYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TheAstroPub, https://www.youtube.com/@TheAstroHistorianTwitter - https://twitter.com/TheAstroPubToC:00:00 Introductions02:30 Cyberpunk 208:20 JumpShip: Sea of Thieves in Space?27:30 Is Star Citizen’s 2025 Successful So Far?33:00 Stormbreaker & Star Citizen’s Current Goings On01:04:00 Other Possible Activites01:12:20: How Does 2025 Compare To Before?Video Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvpiPXCO7OVJOlBIclW9tbpb2g29gur3ISupport This Podcast:Patreon Paypal Ko-FiFollow Space Tomato on social media:Website  Youtube  My Other Youtube  Instagram  Twitter  Facebook  Discord
