EP 208 - Is Star Citizen Having A Bit of An Identity Crisis? (Ft. Morphologis)

There are plenty of reasons to be unhappy with the current state of Star Citizen, but the excuse is always what lies ahead, a truly next-gen space experience. But many players just want to enjoy the game now. What is more important to you, and can the game focus on both? SaltEMike joins me for another show where we analyze the game being made versus the game being played.

Star Citizen’s popularity continues to grow as we finish Q1 and receive the first update of the year. Development is moving fast, the year’s rewards are up in the air, and new players are jumping in every day. Today I’m bringing in a guest I tracked down on Reddit after seeing their testimonial. Not only did this player just start playing, they only found out about the game weeks ago. So let’s pick their brain to discover what their experience has been and what it’s like to jump into something like this blind.

From a relatively ignored and sometimes mocked patch to one of the best in a long time. Star Citizen Alpha 3.17 is currently in open testing before being pushed out to the live Star Citizen servers, and there is A LOT in this update that was not previously known about. So I brought in 2 Star Citizen veterans to talk about what’s in this update, why the additions are so important, and why the update is taking so long.

As of Star Citizen Alpha 3.17 there are not many characters in the verse. 2 of the existing characters, The Voice of New Babbage and Agent Rowena Dulli (of the Xenothreat Event), are portrayed by the same person. In today’s show I’m joined by the most recognizable voice in Star Citizen (besides ATC) to discuss what it’s like to be in Star Citizen and work with CIG, as well as her own background in gaming.

Star Citizen is an open game, it provides tools and dishes out consequences, which is true even in PvP gameplay. While there is a difference between piracy and griefing, the fact of the matter is both will occur. But where will they occur, why will they occur, and what can you do to avoid them? I discuss with Farrister and Avenger__One after their own discussion garnered a lot of attention. Ad-Free Audio Podcast: https://anchor.fm/launchsequence Enjoy!

Open development allows Star Citizen to share more about its development than almost any other game on the market, but that doesn’t mean everything is shared at all times. For years SC Leaks(now PIPELINE) has been a go-to destination for backers to learn just a little more about what’s going on in CIG, but just recently a massive shift has taken it in a different direction. Today I talk with the owner and founder of SC Leaks about this brand change, what led to it, and the history of the group as a whole. We also discuss other potential leaks this year and general Star Citizen news. Note: This is primarily an informative podcast and is not meant to share leaks or take sides, don’t expect much unknown information. Enjoy!

Star Citizen exists in a small genre. Space Sims are popular, but they are few and far between. Elite Dangerous has announced that future console development is ending for the game. This could be good and bad for the PC side of game development going forward. While things could accelerate, this could be a sign of slowed development. Down To Earth Astronomy is a prominent name in the community who joins me for this episode to discuss the news, what it means for the industry, and how it might affect Star Citizen Today’s Guests: Down To Earth Astronomy Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCg3QI9rHzPgvR7KTKSCtPHg Twitter: https://twitter.com/d2eastronomy Consider supporting this podcast to keep it ad-free: Patreon | https://www.patreon.com/SpaceTomato Paypal | https://paypal.me/SpaceTomatoPays Ko-Fi | https://ko-fi.com/spacetomatogaming Follow Space Tomato on social media: Website | https://www.SpaceTomatoGaming.com Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/SpaceTomato My Other Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPYlj5jmsH2_cmumBB6Jv1w Instagram | https://instagram.com/SpaceTomatoGaming Twitter | https://twitter.com/SpaceTomatoGMG Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/Space-Tomato-104355834643773 Discord | https://discord.gg/DZ7tvSU

A big part of what makes Star Citizen so great is the depth in gameplay options, the insane detail of ship interiors, and the diverse lore and atmosphere surrounding various locations. These details also slow the game down in development, and your ability to play. There is a spectrum of beliefs on this matter, generally correlating with when backers joined the project, but the question will always remain. Is the detail worth it?
