EP 216 - When Should Star Citizen Stop Calling Itself an “Alpha”? (Ft. Xerostate)
After 12 years of development Star Citizen is still adding the initial mechanics and features to Star Citizen, officially that should mean it’s still an alpha, but CIG is treating things a bit differently.Regular maintenance, updates every week, more permanent narratives, and in-game rewards all hint at a game trying to move on, but with so much still missing, is it really ready? Or is it all semantics that don’t matter anyway? Join me as I discuss with Twitch streamer Xerostate.Today’s Guests:Xerostate:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJBnfo-JfuLRW1-hcEQPKyQ Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/xerostateToC:00:00 Introductions07:00 The State of The Industry17:20 The State of Star Citizen30:30 Is it Still An Alpha?38:00 Sandbox Locations54:30 Player Interaction01:02:10 Alpha 4.3 First Impressions01:11:00 In-Game Rewards & Cheating01:17:30 A New InventoryVideo 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

Today I will be discussing the upcoming changes to the flight model as they were recently discussed by developers at CIG. Star Citizen will be taking a step in the simulative direction with a little artificial help, as it improves atmospheric flight, and tightens the overall experience. From the removal of top speeds to the inclusion of engineering in said speed, there’s a lot to learn!Today’s Guests:Farrister:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@FarristerTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/farristerTwitter: https://twitter.com/thomasfarristerToC:00:00 Introductions2:30 Star Citizen Hathor & StormBreaker13:00 Exploration Gameplay26:30 The New Flight Model35:00 Combat in Atmosphere47:00 “Hover Mode v2”56:40 Is Master Modes Dead?01:09:14 Is The Flight Model Getting Better?Video 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
