In this video, the speaker discusses 10 quality of life fixes that they believe are necessary for Star Citizen in 2024. They note that in 2023, the game made progress in terms of playability and quality of life improvements, and they hope that this trend continues in the upcoming year. They mention that certain UI improvements, interactions, and the starmap are already known to be priorities, so they exclude them from their list.
The first set of improvements mentioned relate to Voiceover IP (VoIP). The speaker suggests that VoIP needs to work consistently, with improvements to channel volume and a more accessible keybind. They also propose the idea of having an icon over players’ heads when they are using VoIP, although they acknowledge that this could be a controversial addition.
The next set of improvements focuses on party features. The speaker highlights the need for party markers to work consistently, as well as more restrictions on interactions with players outside of one’s party. They suggest implementing consequences for interacting with other players’ ships without permission, such as crimes or hacking requirements.
The third set of improvements pertains to the ASOP (All Ships On Pad) terminal. The speaker suggests adding size, type, cargo capabilities, and status sorting options for ships on the list. They also propose the idea of a delivery option for ships stored at other locations, which could involve an empty ship requirement or a larger fee.
The fourth improvement mentioned is the need for reputation to have a greater impact in the game. The speaker expresses a desire for choices made by the player’s character to have consequences, opening or closing locations and gameplay opportunities based on reputation. They believe that this would enhance the overall game experience.
The final set of improvements focuses on missiles, FPS (first-person shooter) gameplay, travel at landing zones and stations, repair/refuel/rearm mechanics, inventory improvements, and the selling system. The speaker suggests that missiles need a thorough examination and balancing, while FPS improvements should address issues such as reload animations and movement restrictions. They also propose streamlining travel within landing zones and stations, making repair/refuel/rearm mechanics more reliable, improving inventory stacking, and implementing a more functional selling system.
Overall, the speaker emphasizes that these 10 quality of life fixes are not meant to make Star Citizen a rival to other MMOs, but rather to enhance the current gameplay experience. They invite viewers to share their own lists and express gratitude for the support received in 2023.
