CitizenCon 2024 has come to pass, and thoughts around the game have changed.

2024-09-1101:45:50

Star Citizen 4.0 has taken quite a while to reach players, the player base has all kinds of opinions about the game, but what’s really going on.

EP 19 | How Do Explorers Make Money in Star Citizen? (Ft. King Dimitrius, Lord Skippy, RedMonsterSC, EagleStellarAlliance)

2024-04-2501:37:03

Exploration in space games can come in many different shapes and sizes, but Star Citizen has never comprehensively defined all the parts of its own version. I wanted to discuss the things we know, the things CIG has hinted at, and what the community has speculated may be included. For this talk I brought together members of the community from touring, industrial surveying, deep space exploration, and org-based gameplay to discuss their own perspectives. This is a speculation-heavy discussion, but you’ll find a good amount of CIG-sourced info about the gameplay as well. Hope you enjoy!

2024-03-2601:38:12

Star Citizen’s new character customizer offers players a great base for building their unique avatar. But there is a lot more that goes into customizing your persona than just that initial character-building session. Today I’ve invited a few creators to join me in discussion the new creator, what make a good one, and how customization goes beyond this tool.

2024-02-0301:30:07

While Star Citizen players have been expecting a feature update after Squadron 42 was completed, we didn’t know how or when it exactly it may happened. After this week’s Star Citizen live, we are aware of most ofthese additions coming in 3.23. Today I’m joined by Croncy, Olli43, and Beyond The Verse to discuss these sudden developments, and what they could mean for the rest of the year.

EP 16 | Can Star Citizen Have Too Many Ships? (Ft.TheAstroHistorian, Inforunners, Loken, Marcus Wynn)

2023-12-0301:10:09

With another IAE over many citizens are walking away with new ships. And recent additions both concept and in-game like the Zeus Mk 2, Hull C, Syulen, & Arrastra have helped make November 2023 the biggest funding month in Star Citizen’s history. But is there a possibility of ship redundancy and overlap, and is that even a bad thing? Today me and several Star Citizen youtubers discuss the newest ships, and whether there is such thing as too many ships in Star Citizen.

EP 15 | Is This The Turning Point For Star Citizen? (ft.SaltEMike, RedMonster, Hybrid V, Farrister)

2023-11-0301:58:28

Star Citizen has had a less-than-stellar reputation amongst casual gamers for most of its life, but with CitizenCon, Server Meshing advancements, increasing new features, and Squadron 42 reaching the polishing phase, it does feel like things are shifting a bit. I’m joined by fellow YouTubers @SaltEMike , @HybridVAudio , @RedMonsterSC , and @Farrister to discuss recent Star Citizen news and events, and what it could all mean for the future of the game.

2023-10-0801:45:01

Every year Citizen Con brings features near and in the very distant future, and every year it is tradition to guess what we might see.

EP 13 | What Is Going on With Star Citizen? (SaltEMike, Morphologis, TheAstroPub, Tree 0311)

2023-08-0101:46:29

We have been on the road to 4.0 for a few years, now. 2023 is looking less and less likely to be that year. The flow of information has slowed, and player feels meaningful changes are slow due to PES slowing down deliveries. Is it really that bad? How does this compare to the pre-3.0 drought? What can we expect for the rest of the year? All this and more today on Citizen Central with a few of the longest running Star Citizen content creators on Youtube.

2023-07-0501:50:411

Star Citizen can be wildly unpredictable year by year, and in 2023 it has made many frustrated with stability issues. Today I'm joined by Montoya, Liefx, AbdiYohan, and GallagHero to discuss the cycle of pain and hype surrounding Star Citizen, and when players should consider taking a break until things get better.

EP 11 | Is Basic Mining Gameplay Complete? Round Table Discussion (Ft. SaltEMike, RedMonsterSC, Croncy , Loud Guns)

2023-06-0501:22:19

Star Citizen 3.19 brought with it a huge rebalance to mining and resource distribution across Star Citizen. This was a surprise, and ended up being a layer or polish that helped make last year’s gadgets and all other components make more sense. I brought in the most well known mining enthusiasts in the community to make a consensus. Has basic mining gameplay reached a level we are satisfied with?

EP 10 | 3.18, 3.19 & The State of Star Citizen (Ft. Dedleader, XeroState, Myre)

2023-05-0801:25:15

Star Citizen 3.18 was a rough patch cycle, Star Citizen 3.19 shows promise, but is it enough to bring the spirit back to the community? I’m joined by Xerostate, Dedleader, and Myre, 3 Star Citizen content creators, to discuss the upcoming features of 3.19 and how they can build on the weird situation that was 3.18. Enjoy!

EP 9 | Is Star Citizen Really An Alpha? (Ft. Jack Axton, Dedleader, TenPoundFortyTwo, Erad)

2023-04-0101:58:25

There’s a lot of debate around what is and is not acceptable for Star Citizen, especially with the recent (very) rough launch of Alpha 3.18. Given the feature and backend additions, constant balancing and tweaking, and overall unfinished state, it does feel like an alpha, but with marketing and a timeline that would lead some to believe more, that can be confusing. I’m joined by Youtubers Jack Axton, Dedleader, TenPoundFortyTwo, and Erad to discuss this interesting situation, and set expectations straight for the road ahead!

EP 8 | Is The Wait For Star Citizen 4.0 Deja Vu? (Ft. TheAstroPub, BusterTheDestroyer, SaltEMike)

2023-03-0402:19:01

The lead up to Star Citizen 3.18 has been long and confusing, and the same can likely be said of Star Citizen 4.0. But this isn’t the first time Star Citizen’s updates have caused frustration in the lead up to a major change to the game. This month I am joined by SaltEMike, TheAstroPub, and BusterTheDestroyer who were covering content during the days before 3.0 to discuss what things are similar to that time, and how things have changed since then.

EP 7 | Is Star Citizen Worth Playing “Casually”? (Ft. VoidyVids, DigitalMaster37, BeardofOz, Certified Gumbo)

2023-02-0201:30:171

Plenty of new players are hopping into Star Citizen every week, but the game itself might not be ready for everyone. It is still an alpha game heavy in development, and there are a lot of things to consider. This month, I’ve brought on 4 Youtube content creators (VoidyVids, DigitalMaster, BeardofOz, Certified Gumbo) who all got started in the last year or so, to talk about what they’ve noticed going from casual players to everyday followers. This episode is all about whether they feel what they’ve experienced is something you should try too.

EP 6 | The Future of Star Citizen (Ft. Olli43, XeroState, Leadnap Gaming, RedMonsterSC)

2023-01-0301:55:27

A lot is happening in Star Citizen right now. With Persistent Entity Streaming being implemented, Server Meshing “around the corner” and crucial game systems and features in the mix for 2023, there is a lot to consider. Today I am joined by Olli43, XeroState, Leadnap Gaming, and RedMonsterSC to discuss the current and future of where Star Citizen is headed.

EP 5 | The Best & Worst Part of Star Citizen (Ft. Hybrid V Audio, TheSpaceCoder, Loud Guns, LokenPlays)

2022-12-0501:47:131

Exclusive videos every month: https://www.patreon.com/SpaceTomato Ever since the inception of Star Citizen, space ships have been at the front of the hype and development trains. This has led to incredible success, and a lot of controversy. Today I'm joined by @HybridVAudio , @Lokenplays , @LoudGuns , and @TheSpaceCoder to discuss these ship sales, the ships we still miss, and how Star Citizen could do better in the future.

EP 4 | Star Citizen Communication Woes (Ft. Bored Gamer, Avenger One, GriffinGaming, Execute)

2022-11-1401:17:271

Star Citizen has always touted open development as a key feature of the project, however it has become clear they are sharing less in much different ways than before. While we have seen successes on this front, hesitation in sharing bad news, and withholding information until it’s convenient have started to wear on the community. In this episode, we talk about the little things CIG could be doing to build trust again with the community.
