EP 153 | Why Players Switch Genres for Star Citizen (Ft. YoyoMeg)
Everybody has a different story for how they found their main game, no matter what it is. Star Citizen ends up bringing many players from games that may not traditionally lead to a space flight MMO sim, but that’s because they game aims for much more. In today’s episode I’m joined by streamer YoyoMeg to talk about her own journey from FPS console shooters to the PC MMO Star Citizen, a journey I and many others share. Hope you enjoy!

EP 152 | Are You Still Hyped For 3.23? (Ft. SaltEMike)
2 months ago Star Citizen youtuber SaltEMike joined me on the show to discuss his feelings for Star Citizen Alpah 3.23. They were hype. Since then some items have been added to the update, and some (big ones) removed. Today we have chance to reconvene and discuss latest feelings about how these features actually ended up feeling in-game, whether the update still feels as exciting, and honest thoughts about persistent hangars and cargo updates being delayed. Enjoy!

EP 150 | Could Engineering Ruin Star Citizen Solo Play? (Ft. Loud Guns)
Engineering gameplay will add a multitude of resources to ships, vehicles, and buildings that players will need to balance and control for maximum efficiency. This could provide a TON more unique gameplay for players, but it also could make ship ownership more difficult. Today I’m joined by Loud Guns to discuss the complexities and reasons for engineering, and whether it may ruin solo gameplay for Star Citizen players.

EP 149 | Star Citizen’s New Ships Coming in 2024 (Ft. Farrister)
From the Polaris to the Zeus, Star Citizen has a full spread of ships in production to be delivered in 2024. Some are known and some are not, some are combat and some are industrial. I'm joined by YouTuber Farrister today to provide these ships, talk about what we know of each one, and speculate on when they might be released. If you like spaceships, this one is for you.

EP 148 | Server Meshing is Actually Doing Better Than Expected! What’s Next? (Ft. Hybrid V Audio)
*The Episode being mentioned around 25:00 is 140 not 136.
https://youtu.be/32ugYk7tqgI?si=WLcjTP1aId6Vm-ME
- Over the last few weeks Star Citizen has technically achieved it’s 2017 stated goal of a server meshed environment. While there is plenty more work to be done until it runs as needed for the game at large, early results are impressive. With almost 800 players ina single system, jump points leading players to Pyro, and tip top performance like we haven’t seen before, there’s a lot to talk about. Today I’m joined by Hybrid V Audio to discuss the impressive first tests of server meshing, and what comes next.

Customer Reviews
Thanks, Tomato!
I appreciate the depth of the content, and that I can download and listen while biking or driving.
Star Citizen as it fits into Gaming
This is a fantastic show for fans of Star Citizen who want to hear more than fawning over ships. Great discussions on everything from on a broad scale, like greater vision and scope of the game or how it relates to other MMOs, down into nitty gritty details like specific features or flight models and how they’ll affect the game now and in the future
Love it
Five Star Podcast
Easily the most like-able and relatable Star Citizen content creator. *Mostly* steers clear of politics, SJW crap and other junk listeners didn’t ask for.
