Ep 75 | Have Star Citizen Dynamic Events Grown A Bit Stale? (Ft. Enderprize) 31.10.2022

Star Citizen has relied on dynamic events for some of the best activities in the game over the last few years, due to a lack of other large-scale gameplay opportunities. But they have been hit or miss in execution, and have yet to really shake things up in terms of gameplay. Today I’m joined by Enderprize to discuss these events, how they rank compared to each other, and other Star Citizen news li...

Ep 74 | Star Citizen Players Are Burning While Waiting For 3.18 (Ft. Starrstreams) 24.10.2022

Star Citizen has been dominated by the 3.17 patch cycle for the majority of 2022, with fewer significant updates coming out on time, a progress wipe coming with 3.18, and the usual Star Citizen fatigue setting in, many players choose to play less or take a break. Today I talk with  StarrStreams about how he feels as a new player in this cycle for the first time, and what he does to miss the b...

Ep 73 | Has Star Citizen Solved Ship Combat? At What Cost? (Ft. Avenger__One & Blackmaze) 17.10.2022

An entire overhaul to the ship movement and travel system has been announced, Master Modes. And the first changes included will be pulled straight from Squadron 42. It promises to make gameplay more fun, but are we hurting the overhaul experience? I invite Avenger__One and Blackmaze to discuss the changes from their perspectives, combat, and racing. Today's Guests: Avenger__One Youtube: https://ww...

Ep 70 | How Global Persistence & the Cargo Refactor Will Change Hauling Gameplay (Ft. Jack Axton) 26.09.2022

Cargo Hauling has always been a viable profession in Star Citizen, but it hasn’t necessarily been easy or enjoyable. Many have expressed excitement at the prospects of the upcoming cargo refactor in Star Citizen 3.18, but the limited nature of the rework may not meet the moment, and it’s very possible there are other more impactful changes that are needed to fix the career option. In today’s episo...

Ep 69 | What Kind of MMO is Star Citizen Trying to Be? (ft. Draaz3n) 19.09.2022

The MMO genre is a large one. Despite Star Citizen being unfinished, it's easy to see some similarities and differences to the rest of the genre. Today, Draaz3n and I discuss what makes different MMOs unique, and how Star Citizen compares. Today’s Guests : Draaz3n

EP 68 | How Star Citizen Has Changed For The Better And The Worse (Ft. Bored Gamer) 12.09.2022

In this episode, I discuss the history of Star Citizen & Squadron 42, and which was the real focus early on. We also look at how Star Citizen has changed over the years, and how the progress of development compares to earlier more difficult years. This was a very informative talk with one of the OG Star Citizen creators, I hope you enjoy it! Today’s Guests: Bored Gamer: Website: https://www.bo...

Ep 67 | 100 Minutes of Space Ship Talk (Ft. TheAstroPub & Execute) 05.09.2022

This is a more casual discussion surrounding one of the biggest topics in Star Citizen, I hope you enjoy it. Today’s Guests: TheAstroPub Twitch - https://www.twitch...

Ep 66 | The Uncertain Future of Combat & PVP in Star Citizen (Ft. Avenger__One) 29.08.2022

Recent changes to Space Station Kareah & a new wave of players experiencing dynamic events for the first time has brought the conversation of PvP to the forefront again. Instead of talking solely about PvP, though, I wanted to have my friend Avenger__One on to discuss the nuances of combat in Star Citizen and our encounters will likely be changing in the near and far future due to feature upda...

Ep 65 | Is Star Citizen’s Greatest Strength Failing? (Ft. Croncy) 22.08.2022

There is an audio glitch from about 3 minutes until 6 minutes. Apologies we are looking for ways to fix this. Anybody who has been involved in Star Citizen knows the community takes on many responsibilities that the game normally handles. The community has kept this project alive, however it may seem like the community is changing due to increased popularity. Content creator Croncy has some good s...

Ep 64 | Is Star Citizen Still Good 3 Months Later? (Ft. Olli43) 15.08.2022

Today I’m joined by Olli43, who joined me in episode 51 to discuss his newfound love for Star Citizen & creating content for the game. After 3 months, several in-game events, 60+ videos, and a full round of updates, I’ve called Olli again to talk about that original enjoyment, and if it’s still there. Does Star Citizen get stale, or is it worth playing long-term, I’d like to help answer that quest...

Ep 63 | All About The Best & Worst Professions in Star Citizen (Ft. SalteMike) 08.08.2022

One of the greatest things about Star Citizen is how wide-ranging and involved it aims to make various gameplay options. From mining to bounty hunting to cargo transport, you’re sure to get a unique experience however you play. But the professions are nowhere near finished, and many barely (or don’t even) exist at all. SalteMike & I take some time in this episode to discuss what choices you ha...

Ep 62 | Will Star Citizen Ever Actually Release? (Ft. Grumpy Eye) 01.08.2022

Star Citizen is a buggy alpha with a lot of development time and mistakes in its past. And most who follow the game know there is still plenty of work to be done. But is the work actually leading to a release? Will bugs continue to drag down the experience into nothing? Will Star Citizen Ever Actually be released? What is release? All of this and more in my hour+ long discussion with Grump Eye abo...

Ep 61 | The Necessities of Piracy in Star Citizen (Ft. Mongrel Squad) 25.07.2022

Piracy is one of Star Citizen’s most contentious topics. The acceptance of it is more linked to each player’s internal philosophy about the game, but everybody must accept that it IS part of the game. Today I talk to the leader of one of the most well-known pirate gangs in Star Citizen, Agensleti who runs the Mongrel Squad. We discuss the intricacies of piracy, why it’s the hardest way to play the...

Ep 60 | Star Citizen’s Biggest Problems That Are Scaring New Players Away (Ft. Montoya) 18.07.2022

Today we’ll be touching on quite a few, looking at some of the more common issues keeping the game from going mainstream, and how they may be fixed in the near-term by CIG. Montoya joins me for this episode to chat about what bugs us the most.  Today's Guests: Montoya  YouTube Support This Podcas...

Ep 59 | Star Citizen’s Most Interesting Near-Term Features (Ft. Morphologis) 11.07.2022

There is quite a bit of development dedicated to Squadron 42 right now, leaving Star Citizen in a weird state of limbo while major backend features are completed. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some very interesting developments hidden in there. Today Morphologis and I discuss some of the more interesting things we see being added in the next year to the game, and why some of them are very muc...

Ep 58 | The Latest Update to Star Citizen is Surprisingly Content-Full! (Ft. Croncy) 03.07.2022

Star Citizen 3.17.2 doesn’t quite feel like a replacement for 3.18 - as that patch was essentially delayed - but it is coming with more content than most expected a month ago. As Star Citizen continues through this phase of development the small additions are becoming more common. Today I discuss the upcoming update and these small feature drops we seem to keep getting. Check out his tonk video as...

Ep 57 | Alien Languages & Cultures Invented for Star Citizen (Ft. Jale & Chris Harrow) 27.06.2022

Star Citizen is many things if not detailed. With at least 5 known spacefaring alien species in the game lore, 2 of them had languages as stretch goals. Those languages have been learned and understood by hundreds now, and with real content being made in these languages by the studio, I thought it would be a good time to bring in some efforts to learn more. Today’s Guests: Jale Youtube Twitter Chr...

Ep 56 | Will Star Citizen Players Enjoy Starfield? (Ft. TheAstroPub) 20.06.2022

A new space game has made big news with a huge gameplay reveal. Bringing features like base building, space ship construction, explorable planets, space flight, and deep-space storylines to the AAA scene, Starfield is poised to make a big impact on the space genre and the industry as a whole. But who is the game for, and will Star Citizen players enjoy it? Me and The Astro Pub discuss. Today’s Gue...

Ep 55 | How Star Citizen’s Community is Changing, And Why (Ft. Jorunn & Stim Citizen) 13.06.2022

Most games aren’t publicly developed for as long as Star Citizen, so most gaming communities don’t develop the same way. Star Citizen’s community is unique, and one of the best parts of the game. Let’s look at how the community has changed as the project went from tech demo to proper alpha, and how the community might change in the future. Today’s Guests: Jorunn Youtube Twitch Yacht Club Twitch St...

Ep 54 | 2022 Is STILL Not Star Citizen's Year (Morphologis) 06.06.2022

The best future looks good for Star Citizen, as it finally begins to grapple with some of the most significant tech hurdles in the game and usher In a huge new expansion with 4.0. But the year of 2022 itself is still filled with plenty of uncertainty and a grab bag of features. Depending on the type of player this year could be significant, but today, Morphologis & I discuss why despite big im...

Ep 53 | Invictus Week Success & What’s Next For Star Citizen (Ft. TheAstroPub & Execute) 30.05.2022

Star Citizen is having another good year, breaking records in funding every month, and maintaining average daily player counts of over 50,000 players. With Invictus Week over, news of Alpha 4.0 out in the open, and an exciting set of upcoming features on the horizon, I thought it’d be a good time to get the trio together again to discuss the state of the game, and how the latest event has us looki...

Ep 52 | This Man Is Addicted to Star Citizen (Ft. LevelCapGaming) 23.05.2022

For many, Star Citizen scratches an itch like no other game. Despite its many issues, it still provides a unique experience. LevelCapGaming joins me for the longest episode of Launch Sequence to date to discuss why he cannot stop playing this game, why it very well may take over his channel, and what excites both of us for the future.
