From giant 100 player events to small bunker raiding parties, Star Citizen caters very well to group play. But there are many space enthusiasts and many players that want to go about their days solo. I’ve invited friend and creator DTOX_TV to discuss how the game can continue to work for the solo player, and what feasibility it holds right now. DTOX has recently released a video depicting his own...

While the cargo refactor does not necessarily push trading gameplay forward, it adds new incentive to try different forms of gameplay. Piracy has always been an option, but it is now being made more accessible, and possibly more profitable for players. I’ve invited Agensleti from the Mongrel Squad to discuss how pirates might use this gameplay mechanic, and what players can do to be ready for it....

In Star Citizen, no matter who you are or what you’re doing, as you move away from security areas, you will be at more risk. It’s important that players know how to defend themselves or successfully evade pirates, so I took the opportunity to bring in combat Youtuber Jonathan Winters to talk about the basics of what players might expect. We also discuss the reality of security versus non-security...

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...

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...

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.

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...
