Launch Sequence with Space Tomato

Star Citizen’s 4.10 implementation of instancing is supposed to be the next step in server meshing, dubbed “Quasi-Dynamic” Meshing. But from early signs, the results are mixed. I’m joined by network engineer and Youtuber Grolo to discuss this first addition of instancing to gameplay, and if it means Star Citizen as it has always been dreamed of is simply not going to happen.

Star Citizen has taken a month-long pause to stabilize and get its bearings. With 4.10 in testing, instancing around the corner, and a plan to make the game more stable over the next several updates, players are wondering how much the words of the CTO at CIG will stick. Today I’m joined by The Astro Historian to discuss the state of Star Citizen, the plan to revitalize it in H2 2026, and why it may or may not work.Today’s Guests:  @TheAstroHistorian  YouTube:  @TheAstroHistorian   @TheAstroPubLive  Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/theastropubToC:00:00 Introductions05:00 How is Alpha 4.919:00 Is Star Citizen Being Simplified27:00 The Game is Being Fixed?44:40 Where is This Game Going?01:17:40 Foundational Festival and Twitch Drops

The RSI Hermes has killed the RSI Taurus; cargo hauling can make you millions in an hour, and piracy is kinda dead with the state of commodity trading in the game. This and more from the cargo hauling aficionado on the Launch Sequence with me this week as we discuss the state of Star Citizen’s most important profession. Is it worth trying at the moment, and how much money is cargo hauling really going to make you?

Stormbreaker, Hathor, TSG, Rock Cracker, Star Citizen is adding plenty of content nowadays, but is it better than the sandbox we could be playing? In today’s episode, I’m joined by DTOX to discuss large-scale gameplay, small-scale narratives, and there Star Citizen might slide down the slippery slope (instancing).

After a very rough 4.8 update cycle, Star Citizen is being brought back to the pit for a short stop in alpha 4.9 for just one month. The goal is to begin a long rehab process to get the game up to a better standard, but isn't that what happened last year? I'm joined by TenPoundFortyTwo to discuss the current plan at CIG, how it could work, and why it won't fix the actual problems.Today’s Guests: TenPoundFortyTwoYouTube :  @tenpoundfortytwo  Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tenpoundfortytwoToC:00:00 Introductions09:25 What Happened to Alpha 4.9?16:00 The “Star Citizen Pattern”48:50 Is Squadron 42 Delayed?01:06:35 Is The Next Month of Star Citizen Dead?01:31:30 What’s Happening The Rest of The Year
