Star Citizen - Overdrive Confusion - XenoThreat & Alpha 3.23 Incoming
LATEST STAR CITIZEN PATCH ALPHA 3.23 WAVE 2

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 kind of understand their frustation . You have to do the Xeno mission for the f7a upgrade but you can't be sure that you finish it . People still bough that ship for 175 dollars. I would be pretty annoyed at the end of xenothreat if i did not receive the upgrade i worked for true all the bug and such . I had to do the Box mission 23x time for it to Finlay spawn all the box i needed to complete the mission .

[chrismoeller]

Overdrive was alright. Ran fine until they ran Jumptown concurrently. But I was playing primarily for the reward: the F7A.

[stevewest]

Last night my son bought a Caterpillar, and four of us also bought Furies. We took them out and tried a couple of LRT bounties, and it was pretty fun. We plan to use the Cat/Furies to try and board the Idris during the Xenothreat mission coming up. Hopefully we can get one or two more of our friends to buy Furies too and we'll have a full squadron.

Hope CIG sort out the ship inventory size as that will be quite the pain when upgrading ship components

[jamesfraser]

So I like the general idea of the Overdrive missions, but I do think that quest lines that give a solo reward (eg. a single seater ship) should be achievable solo. I got the F7C and I really want the F7A but I won't be able to finish the missions because as a mostly solo player with limited game time, organizing teams when needed is tricky. What adds to the confusion is there are some sections that you can solo and others that you can't. Anyway as a player who is monetized and was very energized by the missions and the reward it's been pretty frustrating. (Mission bugs aside)

My first month into SC, I realized delivery missions were a colossal waste of time. That was at the start of this year. And I have to say that they have not improved much. Clipping of boxes, falling through the ground, disappearing entirely with just a marker, or admin boxes that don't work, or cargo boxes that don't work. Needless to say, Phase 5 has been a real struggle. Not even counting the amount of 30k's that I experience, coincidentally, while I'm doing this mission.

[bdmnk]

**PHASE 5** I was able to complete (after many, many attempts across many server hops) if you do complete the final mission it is best to have you QR code showing on screen (QR can be activated from graphics setting, bottom of the listings) then when you get the mission completion message take a screenshot. If something should happen you can send this screenshot to CIG and as long as it has QR code they will sort it out pretty ricky tick.

[はなこちゃん]

You get a reward for armor but if you die once, you lose it forever until next server wipe, character repair (possibly not anymore). There is still not a way to retrieve any flair items so most rewards aren't really useable especially when you can die randomly in an elevator or the many bugs.

[Thefuzzyspoons]

I am honestly looking forward to the hanger update more then the general 3.23 update.

[ManZer]

All they would need to add is a mobiglass journal update "thanking you" for helping with that current phase of the event. That way we know we completed it

[Cornerboy]

The thing is Bored, the extra time they are giving people isn't going to mean everything if folks are logging in and thinking they already have it done. Sure you may not get priority missions for it popping up but what if the issue is on CI's end and their records haven't recorded the completion correctly?

If anyone from CI is watching this - a word of advice: Just give people the rewards. Even if there is a missing mission indicator on your end... just give it to them. The fallout of players who slogged through 5 weeks of the pain and suffering that was Overdrive would be staggering. They will revolt in a way like we've never seen before if they end up rightly or wrongly getting cheated out of their upgrade and armor. It won't be worth the negative press, trust me. Just give it to them, take the L as a learning experience and move on to the next event where hopefully we will be better able to conduct and track this stuff. It will make your lives (and Invictus) a much better and more positive experience for everyone.

[GaradanR]

I haven't had the luck to be able to progress through the Overdrive missions, literally bugs each step in my experience. But as you say, they will most likely repeat these missions, so a later day!

[javannapoli]

Overdrive has definitely had some issues.
I had it stop giving me the Overdrive surveillance missions despite the fact that I was at 2/3, I tried waiting for a few hours in game, and over a few different days, but it wouldn't show up.
I ended up being able to get my 3rd completion by having someone else share the mission to me, and that counted.

Very excited for the Xenothreat Idris fight though, I've been waiting to be able to board and fight my way through a capital ship in Star Citizen for 9 years lol.

Edit: also don't worry about the Idris getting killed while you're boarding, Evocati players have reported that CIG have massively buffed their health to encourage boarding.

[RealGyouza]

Before they said anything about not getting the priority missions I did message them about my progress. I was done but in my logs almost all my missions were marked as first in each phase for however many times it needed to be done.

[Redmarine]

The elevators in Port Tressler let go from the Habs to the Galleria are still broken. I don’t know why it always seems like they’re broken only at Tressler. Well, maybe not only but mostly.

[KaryudoDS]

I do wish that if they wanted to run an event with account rewards, that the website would at least be setup to track said event progress. Is a bit more work, but certainly makes sense to have it if they intend to run anything else like this.

[FNa]

@5:28 It might be PantsWarrior getting his reward and was sharing it around? Then there was a bug causing the F7A mk2 exclusive Simoom paint to be applied to the F7C mk2 which might have some confusing it for a F7A perhaps.

[scottthesnow]

I really enjoyed overdrive. It forced me to seek out groups to complete missions, and it was a great experience for me. I met a few new friends, and a lot of patient helpful players.

[johnmoreno]

Only problem we ran into was the same old bugs for box missions and stuff phasing thru hulls. Even then it only took 2 trys. I always look forward to zenothreat personally, glad to see it expanding. Time to warm up the valc
