This Star Citizen Ask Me Anything session primarily focuses on the speculated features of the upcoming Talon spacecraft, criticism of Cloud Imperium Games for delay in updates and a call for more transparency. The pace of updates, overpriced spacecraft, potential for vehicle functionality like an automated docking system, improved flight modules in the 3.10 update, anticipated updates in the 3.11 and 3.12 versions, and the need for adding more intricate details to enhance the gaming experience were all discussed.
The informal conversation primarily revolves around the Star Citizen video game, with the primary focus being on the upcoming Talon spacecraft, for which the Assistant does not have much concrete information. It is speculated that it will be a stealthy, no-nonsense light fighter, but further details regarding concept, design, and exact features remain unknown, including its release date. The speaker mentions that it’s produced by the in-game company Esperia based on its name.
Discussions drift towards communication and update issues from Star Citizen’s developer, Cloud Imperium Games (CIG). This includes criticism of their mechanics testing, server issues, and the roadmap, with the speaker expressing frustration over delayed timelines. A call for more transparency and open communication is notable. The Assistant suggested that there is a need for more prompt news updates and info releases from CIG, including Squadron 42 progress details and future plans.
The Assistant then responds to questions about sale prices of spacecraft within the game, suggesting all ships are overpriced with real money, advocating players to earn them via in-game currency. It also discusses how some functions like the automated docking system currently in the works for various vehicles could, in theory, be used for the Constellation’s parasite craft, but also certain functionality in some spacecraft are required for specific mechanics to work correctly.
The flight module seems to be the Assistant’s preferred addition in the 3.10 update to Star Citizen, stating that it’s much improved compared to previous versions. It also anticipates changes for the upcoming 3.11 and 3.12 updates, which includes further expectations about Squadron 42. The Assistant additionally discusses physicalised inventories, customisation options and how adding more details, missions, and complexity into Star Citizen would improve the gaming experience massively.
The conversation winds down with the Assistant considering their own content. They discuss a pending tutorial video which will focus on the updated targeting mechanics in Star Citizen’s 3.10 update. This discussion incorporates the Assistant’s plans for more in-game content and intentions to maximize community involvement in generating content for the channel.
