In this video, the presenter shares their thoughts on the Star Citizen 3.20 update, focusing on ‘The Hunt is On’ event, the F8C ship, and the upcoming CitizenCon 2023.

In this video, the presenter shares their thoughts and reactions to the Star Citizen 3.20 update, focusing on three main aspects: ‘The Hunt is On’ event, the F8C ship, and the upcoming CitizenCon 2023. The presenter begins by discussing the event, stating that it was a great idea for Star Citizen’s 10th anniversary and was implemented well overall. They do mention that some players felt the golden tickets should have been harder to find. However, there were issues with the Platinum tickets, as they were often started on servers already occupied by big streamers, leading to a skewed experience for regular players.
Moving on to the F8C ship, the presenter acknowledges that its release has polarized the community. Some players believe it undermines the exclusivity and reward status of the ship, while others feel entitled to its availability. The presenter highlights that the ship currently outperforms most others in the game, which could present a balancing problem. They suggest that either other ships should receive buffs to align with the F8C’s capabilities, or the F8C may eventually be nerfed to match other ships. Additionally, the presenter expresses concerns about CIG’s credibility and the broken spawn mechanics for the Day of the Vara helmets during the event.
Lastly, the presenter mentions the upcoming CitizenCon 2023 and emphasizes the importance of this event for CIG to restore faith in the community and showcase progress. They mention the disappointment experienced by some fans when promised changes and features have not materialized in the past. However, the presenter mentions that despite these concerns, many people are still enjoying the game and playing it actively. The video concludes with the presenter expressing their wish to attend CitizenCon in person and mentioning that they will continue to cover Star Citizen updates and events on their channel.
