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.

EP 208 - Is Star Citizen Having A Bit of An Identity Crisis? (Ft. Morphologis)
While Star Citizen has been around a long time, many of its game mechanics are still in question. Today I’m diving into some of the more consequential features in Star Citizen and how they change your game for the better and worse. How will this effect players?
