The RSI Polaris is one of the most anticipated ships in Star Citizen, and it’s finally headed for the game. For the first time players will see the capital class ship in-game at Invictus Launch Week in May, but how will we experience it, and why are players so excited for it. Today’s episode invites Execute from the Inforunners to discuss the upcoming ship, it’s origins, and what capital ships will mean for the game.

Everybody has a different story for how they found their main game, no matter what it is. Star Citizen ends up bringing many players from games that may not traditionally lead to a space flight MMO sim, but that’s because they game aims for much more. In today’s episode I’m joined by streamer YoyoMeg to talk about her own journey from FPS console shooters to the PC MMO Star Citizen, a journey I and many others share. Hope you enjoy!

2 months ago Star Citizen youtuber SaltEMike joined me on the show to discuss his feelings for Star Citizen Alpah 3.23. They were hype. Since then some items have been added to the update, and some (big ones) removed. Today we have chance to reconvene and discuss latest feelings about how these features actually ended up feeling in-game, whether the update still feels as exciting, and honest thoughts about persistent hangars and cargo updates being delayed. Enjoy!

Star Citizen Alpha 3.23 is finally in the first wave of public testing. While there is still plenty more to learn about it, we’ve had several hours to test out some of the first features and have quite a bit to say! I’ve invited Beyond The Verse host, Sulyce, on to the show to talk first impressions, when the update may go to live servers, and what could be coming after that!

Engineering gameplay will add a multitude of resources to ships, vehicles, and buildings that players will need to balance and control for maximum efficiency. This could provide a TON more unique gameplay for players, but it also could make ship ownership more difficult. Today I’m joined by Loud Guns to discuss the complexities and reasons for engineering, and whether it may ruin solo gameplay for Star Citizen players.

From the Polaris to the Zeus, Star Citizen has a full spread of ships in production to be delivered in 2024. Some are known and some are not, some are combat and some are industrial. I'm joined by YouTuber Farrister today to provide these ships, talk about what we know of each one, and speculate on when they might be released. If you like spaceships, this one is for you.

- Over the last few weeks Star Citizen has technically achieved it’s 2017 stated goal of a server meshed environment. While there is plenty more work to be done until it runs as needed for the game at large, early results are impressive. With almost 800 players ina single system, jump points leading players to Pyro, and tip top performance like we haven’t seen before, there’s a lot to talk about. Today I’m joined by Hybrid V Audio to discuss the impressive first tests of server meshing, and what comes next.

From sniper changes to reloading upgrades, scanning abilities to sliding mechanics. Star Citizen FPS gameplay has always been rough, but with Alpha 4.0 on the horizon and Star Citizen 1.0 in the minds of the developers, the game needs to pick it up and improve the experience, fast. Today I’m joined by DTOX to discuss how that is happening, and when.Today’s Guests:DTOXYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/DTOX_TVTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/dtoxTwitter: twitter.com/itsdToxToC:00:00 Introductions02:20 What’s Your FPS Experience?08:45 Star Citizen 1.017:10 How Has The Experience Been So Far?30:00 The Dynamic Crosshair36:20 Reloading Updates41:55 Gun Wear & Tear and Jams44:55 Sliding Mechanics47:05 Scope Updates & Sniper Scope Glint51:30 FPS Radar & Scanning58:00 New HUD!!!01:05:15 FPS Gadgets & Accessories01:09:30 Night Vision01:17:10 Should The 3rd Person Camera Go?01:21:30 The True Potential of Star Citizen FPSAudio Podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/launchsequenceVideo 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--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/launchsequence/messageSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/launchsequence/support

I was approached to facilitate a conversation surrounding master modes, PvP gameplay, and ship combat in Star Citizen as a whole, with one of the people defining it.

Server Meshing, Distribution Centers, Master Modes, Pyro, a lot is changing in Star Citizen very quickly. But is this really the moment, or will it be a slog to go from basic server meshing to the real deal? Is 2024 going to actually be a big year? Today I’m joined by longtime friend and guest on the show, Morphologis, to talk the big topics.

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?

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!

Star Citizen is a complicated topic, and a $48,000 puchaseable item is sure to raise a couple eyebrows, as it has recently. The general gaming community, understandably, is a bit skeptical and taken aback by Star Citizen, so today Bethesda-focused Youtuber @LoneVaultWanderer was kind enough to join me to discuss the outside perception and misconceptions surrounding the project, as well as the controversy and general negative coverage of the game that leads to its reputation.

The 2 longest-running past times of Star Citizen are transporting goods and shooting things. Combat has seen a multitude of updates, but cargo updates have been minimal.
