For those in the know, do they still include Squadron 42 in the game packages or do you now need to purchase it separately?

It doesn't seem so. I went through all their packages, and it doesn't seem that there are Star Citizen and Squadron 42 combo packages anymore.
I had to check my account:
Lol, been a Citizen since September 1st, 2014. I was in my twenties still then

Still sucks that anything is available on the pledge store imo cause people can still pay to win or grind for months to get to the same level as a dude who just spent thousands of real money.
Eve and elite has the same crap so it’s nothing new to space games.

Mmm, I don't very much like that they did it for the bomb racks and flight blades, - by all means bundle it together with ships @ a discount maybe - but at least put them up in game as well, even if you jack the prices up there.They’re patching in June to make the blades available with in game currency.

But yeah, as with everything in any market, caveat emptor.

I’m pretty new to this game. Making money in game doing cargo hauls. I got a rok so long but no ship to carry it myself and rely on friends when we go mining.
Any advice for a n00b? I kinda want to get into the combat side eventually but not against frekin veteran players. Npc’s for me please cause I still suck.

Grinding is good, it is the hardcore player base that actually makes the real game economy work. They earned their status. Though this is also, mostly the larger clans, who will amass pledges. So, yeah.

You can rent a majority of the ships to do decent bounty missions with, start with an arrow or something, outfitting it with lasers rather than ballistics and go hunting, NPC bounties start very easy and makes a decent amount of money to keep renting the ships

Fun until the mission stops progressing halfway through, after spending 60mins prepping your ship and trying to reach the bounty.
Or more fun, when you attack your legal bounty target you get a criminal rating.
Or when the server is so borked you spend 30mins shooting at a target only to just randomly blow up, having completely desynced with the actual server state. That is always so fun.

Yoh… The negativity.
We’re having fun at least. They really need to make killing yourself a bit more punishing. 3 hour comedic rescue mission only to get shot down myself and have 2 of us now stuck near the same prison. Then have a 3rd (more experienced) friend save us. On the way to safety the original friend in distress just offs himself cause it’s quicker than the quantum jump and restores all his health.
Also the 3rd time I nearly die cause I step outside without a helmet on.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be a push for Squadron 42 till Star Citizen is fully released. Which might be never.
But we're having fun like @DrJohnZoidberg said. And BTW:

They've "committed" to release Squadron next year. It doesn't have an exact release date but they've been confident enough to say 2026. We'll see.
It's really what I'm most looking forward to, SC is just too janky for me to enjoy and I don't game much on PC anymore at all - but I would make an exception if the performance and stability of SC was better.

Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'
Jared Huckaby clarified that he didn't mean to suggest that Squadron 42 will be delayed out of 2026, he just literally doesn't know what the future holds for any of us.
A sign that the postponement loop is set to loop again. Not showing it at CitizenCon would mean that a postponement might be on the table.
Eh?

Mixed messaging. Still, there will be no more Squadron 42 presence during 2025. Unless there is a surprise.
I think it is going to be pushed to 2027, and I won't be surprised that GTA VI will be the reason argued.
Those with old bundles do have access to SQ42, but not so much with the new bundles.

I think they're in a bit of a catch 22 with SQ42, people are going to have very high expectations of a game that's taken so long so they probably feel like they have to invest more and more into it to meet those expectations but that just makes them fall even further behind and the expectations keep growing.
I'll patiently wait and play it when it eventually does come out, I still have one of the old $60 bundles. I'm just not expecting it to be GTA6 in space but the amount of money gone into this project would make you think that.

Coming up on the 10 year anniversary of my purchase
good news, they are in the process of updating your Aurora to current game standards.Coming up on the 10 year anniversary of my purchase
Can't remember the exact date they announced it,
but I'm sure SQ42 has been feature complete for at least 1-2 years now.
but as we know its always 2 years away from being released.
If they feel its not ready then they won't release it, still making record sales in Star Citizen to
fund SQ42.
There was also an article a few weeks ago where they said Star Citizen 1.0 will release in
2027/2028, and everyone knows that's not going to happen either.
