During the Star Citizen AMA, the speaker discusses various aspects of Star Citizen’s development, upcoming events, and some personal gaming preferences. He mentions upcoming in-game events including the expected release of the Mercury Star Runner in the 3.11.x patch, possibilities for Citizencon 2020, and the importance of physicalized components for salvage operations. However, he asserts that Star Citizen is still in the Alpha stage and needs further development to overcome current bugs and issues.
He suggests that currently, Star Citizen is a playable Alpha, but feels it still has a long way to go before being properly optimised with various aspects like PvP needing to be addressed. There are also ongoing problems with the personal inventory system that need to be fixed, alongside significant changes involving the Connie and expected improvements in the physical damage system.
The speaker also touches on some comparative points about other video games. Much of the early discussion involves comparing Star Citizen to the new game, Star Wars Squadrons. He posits that the latter has less depth and complexity, and suggests Star Citizen could rival EVE and Elite Dangerous once it’s fully operational. He also notes that ‘Theaters of War’ feature aligns Star Citizen more closely to regular FPS games.
He shares his perspectives on the game’s economy and his hopes for the future, including how the economy could impact missions, or vice versa. He also remarks on the community’s role in shaping Star Citizen, crediting the funding from the community and ongoing feedback as significant factors contributing towards the progression of the game.
Finally, he expresses his enthusiasm for the upcoming Star Citizen PC build, which will notably include a GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card. He indicates that this development was made possible by the exceptional community support and donations. He also points to the importance of meaningful moderator and community interactions, and expresses his desire to give back to supporters. He wraps up by expressing continued support for Star Citizen’s development and his optimism for its future.
