Star Citizen

I guess Squadron 42 may happen... soon'ish? CIG is sending out invites to select people to attend a three-day long event at their Manchester studio. This includes a hands-on experience with Squadron 42. This does not mean that the game is releasing, but that it will be demoed.

This event starts on October 9th. I guess it will be more PR than anything else.

Some backers claimed to have received an invite. This is how the event allegedly leaked. Seats at a dev 'meet and greet' will be limited. So, mainly media and social media stardom peeps, and some rich backers and Star Citizen content creators.

I would assume then that October could be SQ42's marketing beginning. So... March/April 2027?

Even having such a rough estimate still doesn't establish how the game will be released. It could, potentially, be episodic, but I don't think the broad market would like that in this genre. Who knows?

Not to be funny but I loooove this ship design


Almost enough for me to fork out money for the game.

According to some discussion boards, Star Citizens really love to spend money on acquiring these.

All I want is a Kruger L-22 Alpha Wolf.

Bought the base starter pack back in 2016 that included Avenger & S42. Haven't installed it and now don't even have a PC capable of running it. So will 1st have to get a rig to start playing and with current AI Pricing I dont see that happening soon.

Also I know there is cheaper options like say the Syulen for only $80 and you can get ships in game.
Problem is people forking out that amount of real world cash for a virtual items that can go bye bye with a push of a button.
 
Never understood the fascination with so many ships. I'd much rather have a working game.

When I backed I may have still be interested in playing multiplayer games, but now I'm older and really have no desire to play with other people. Now I'm just waiting for Squadron.

My itch been scratched sine then with Starfield and No Man Sky.

Still like to see the Alien ships cause ^ those where kinda lacking in that department.
 
It might not be Star Citizen, or Elite Dangerous, but I love playing X4. Each game here is unique, but X4 got so many space sim things right. I like X4 more than I do ED. I have good hours poured into ED. X4 though can get addictive.

The modding is great too, other than the QoL mods (some which is a must have) look at this:


I haven't played SWI, but I think I will give it a go until Squadron 42 arrives.
