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

Many will agree, the most important feature in Star Citizen is server meshing. But server meshing is not just one feature, and it’s not just now being developed. Today, I’ll be joined by Unobtainium, the creator of ‘The Unoffical Road To Server Meshing’ (and a rock in Avatar), to look at the 9 year history of server meshing development, how the idea changed over time, and what it might look like in the future.

With the recent in-depth revelation of a large organized cheating/hacking ring in Star Citizen, many players are wondering why it matters or what they can do about it. Today, I’m speaking with 11’s Hangar about a cheating ring he has discovered along with others. With the ability to transport players anywhere, make any weapon rapid fire, and turn players invisible, this cheat could be mistaken for glitches, and can also change the testing environment. This special episode of The Launch Sequence hopes to inform players of what this could look like, how they can respond, and the ramifications of these cheats.

I have always wondered how Star Citizen would go about accommodating all its players with cities. They need a reason to exist, enough gameplay to take a considerable amount of time, and a convincing way to tie into a space sim. With the recent first look at the building interiors expansion planned for Star Citizen, I had to sit down with Youtuber DigThat32 to talk Star Citizen, the year ahead, and what these cities could mean for the game.

There are dozens of medical assistance groups in Star Citizen among other orgs dedicated to servicing players in the verse. As a game in alpha, it’s not a particularly easy thing to commit to, but these orgs are making it work. Join me in this interview with the CEO (Tr1stan) and COO (Regnion) of MEDRUNNER as we discuss their journey creating their medical organization and associated content, how they want to differentiate themself, and what could be the future for groups like these.
