Master Modes is likely the most contentious topic in Star Citizen at the moment. It's a major change to the way flight works. But did you know it's a change BACK to more familiar waters, just with a twist? Today I talk with Splen and Avenger__One, two long-time players who have opinions on master modes and just how much it does for the game. Enjoy!

With Squadron 42 reaching the feature complete stage, the features that have been polished for its release are beginning to be moved over to Star Citizen. With Alpha 3.23 on the horizon, many of the placeholder systems that have held Star Citizen back, like the Starmap, interaction system, and character locomotion, are seeing major updates. Is Star Citizen finally moving beyond the tech demo feel it has always had? Today I discuss with return guest, TheAstroHistorian.

As Star Citizen is built, the slow process has produced amazing moments and fun gameplay. But at the end of all of this, the game won’t work with the proper MMO backend. CIG is blazing a trail in the gaming industry, and trying to construct something never done before in gaming. With decades of experience in software and network engineerin between them, my guests today hope to shed some light on just how phenomenal the system is, and how difficult it will be to run. Today we sit down with Tybio and Kevin Riggle of recent Star Citizen reaction fame to discuss server meshing with the pros.

While Star Citizen is a sim, and quite a bit to learn, many players don’t want to spend hours every week just to enjoy it. Will this game provide players looking to experience it casually a good experience? This week I talk with streamer R3vak who has covered Star Citizen in the past, only to take a break. Now that he’s back I wanted to know why, and whether the differences he is now seeing might point to a more widely enjoyable game. Enjoy!
