Star Citizen Road To CitizenCon - Alpha 3.24.2, Going Critical & Beyond 4.0

Star Citizen Road To CitizenCon - Alpha 3.24.2, Going Critical & Beyond 4.0
LATEST STAR CITIZEN PATCH ALPHA 3.24.1 LIVE

Star Citizen is an Open Development Alpha Project by Cloud Imperium. It is 2 Games really though, the Persistent Universe that aims to build a First Person MMO Space Sim that encompasses gameplay in ship & on ground, economy and pretty much anything else you can think of. It's built in the StarEngine (a modified Lumberyard Engine). You'll see massive Space Ships that you can fly with friends, land on planets, explore or whatever your way to whatever goal you choose. It's available to try in it's current Alpha State now, you can give feedback & influence the direction of the game BUT it is VERY ALPHA.
Squadron 42 is the Single Player Campaign of Star Citizen & the Spiritual Successor of Wing Commander. The Idea is the game is immersive, cinematic, beautiful & seamless... NO LOADING SCREENS once in game.
Both Games are currently in the Alpha of their development.
I am suspecting to see something more mainstream for Star Citizen's PU by the end of 2024 with permanent progression, though it will be a while after that before the game is considered "feature complete" which would be closer to 2025 in my opinion.
The are no dates for Squadron 42's Release Yet BUT it is now Feature Complete.

I am an Independent Content Creator & Star Citizen Fan. I am not paid by Cloud Imperium HOWEVER I am an Evocati Member and as such I am under an NDA for Closed Early Patch Tests of Star Citizen', known as the Evocati Test Flight (ETF). They occasionally offer me ships for giveaways too, which I will take if they are truely NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
GameGlass, Shadow & NordVPN referrals give me a small kickback, however I am not paid by them for any specific videos or promotion. Unless Otherwise Stated.

I like that they are moving forward with the armor and components being more of what is keeping ships flying. Looking forward to 4.0 even more now. Thank you for all the updates!

[The_Fallen_]

3.24.2 was just announced to be going to Evo over the next few days. I'm excited for the new MFDs!

[JaleTechAndGaming]

For me, engineering, it's all about how the small ships work with it. A great game loop for large multi-crew ships probably won't work well for small single person ships.

[mattp]

Moving features up to 3.24.2 is more about wanting to meet more goals by CitizenCon rather than any internal doubts about whether 4.0 delivers before the end of the year. Also, the usual pre-CitCon content drought has not occurred this year: we've had a much more eventful summer and early fall than usual.

[epdavenport]

I would like to see insurance also cover contents. (not special items because that exploitable) things like normal guns/tractor beams/repair tools in the gun racks. It would encourage setting up a ship with supplies, most don't today because its 2 time consuming every time you have to claim your ship.

3.24.2 hitting evocoti in a few days (planned)
Another tech-preview meshing test at the end of the week
3.24.1 hotfixes in testing for deployment later today.

[klebbe]

Really looking forward to 3.24.2.
The new MFDs looks so nice, and want to see more of the Zeus.

[memerauru]

Biggest problem with 3.24.1 is I can’t get out of bed… I reset my character and all and nothing. I have not played 3.24.1 once… I have been on everyday

[orsonsaviour]

Excited for 4.0! Hoping the new mechanics improve both combat and exploration. Let’s see what they’ve got!

[grumbles]

I remember when folk were talking about armor coming in the game back during the ol 2.0 days.. Oh how the project has grown we are finally on the cusp of having it in game.

[wrextheblind]

Balancing around the best players I think would encourage people to get better. Nothing wrong with being casual but the more dedicated and consistent audience is the focus

[Kyle-srjm]

Road to Pyro is infinitely long.

Road to Citizen Con is a 12 month loop with no exits.

[RGreeting]

Love these podcast style chats. Glad Zin is back!

[jch]

Can't wait to see what they have us vote on for the Ship Vote on the next ship. What they came up with with the Arrastra was good (albeit looks a little odd for an industry ship).

[aaronpaul]

well lets hope that 3.24.2 will get to life smoothly.

[thehearseguy]

I think insurance should also cover standard ship contents, excluding special or rare items that could be exploited. This could include everyday equipment like guns, tractor beams, and repair tools in the racks. It would motivate players to fully outfit their ships, which many avoid doing now because it's too time-consuming to restock after each claim.

[buhatkj]

with component physicalizing, and the precision targeting mode, this will create a pretty strong meta, based on where key components are located in certain ships, and how much armor they have around them. some ships at least for a while will be badly nerfed because key components with no backups are located in easy to hit spots, and others may come off as excessively tanks if they are in hard to hit spots. Essentially it makes component location matter, where it never has before, and i doubt any current ships have been designed with this in mind really. a ship like the retaliator, where components are very redundant and kind of all over the place might actually have a real advantage, which, in the retaliators case is really good, since its meant to be such a legendary combat ship. The redeemer, with most components in the same area, and no backup powerplant or cooler may end up pretty fragile.

[jshreyer]

I’m very enthused about them bringing things forward to lighten the load with 4.0. Hopefully that means the release will be smoother

[kevinrosa]

Happy Monday, thank you for the news recap

[Orothrim]

Engineering draws closer and I stare at my hangar in trepidation. Every day passed brings the consequences of my hubris ever closer. I shouldn't have spent so much money as a mostly solo player.
