Launch Sequence with Space Tomato

Star Citizen 4.0 is inevitable. With server meshing presumably working in the PTU, CIG seems ready to push the big update out live before Christmas. But what does it actually mean that server meshing is “working”? Can we expect a stable launch? And how will Star Citizen overcome the problems we can already see forming during this iteration of server meshing? Today I’m joined by network engineer and Youtuber Grolo to discuss.

One of the major shifts in Star Citizen’s development over th elast year has been the focus on base building and crafting. A potential “endgame” option for many, and a catalyst for a lot of player gameplay, this is an important part of the game, and just last week CIG delivered a HUGE update on details surrounding the gameplay involved. I’m joined by Youtuber and miner, RedMonsterSC, to discuss.

A new medium sized combat ship has been released, and it seems primed for running missions in a small group. But where does it fit in? Who is the Anvil paladin for? In other news, master modes are no more. The flight model is making a shift away from master modes but maintaining some of the hallmark features of the flight model system, today I discuss the complications and ramifications with Farrister.

The RSI Polaris is now in Star Citizen, and it has immediately made clear just how much larger ships and the gameplay included with them will change the game. Today I’m joined by return guest, Croncy, to talk about the changing nature of Star Citizen, from solo to group play, from A to B to A through Z, from time to kill, to time to board. This is all about the capital ship change and how players might cope with it.
