Star Citizen

Squadron 42 in 2026 . They are at least saying it will be next year . We live in hope . :)

Yes I believe they announced that originally at last years CitCon? Good to see they aren't altering it yet. I expect it might be Christmas 2026, but it would still be 2026 :)

There is so much pressure on that release. Everyone and their dog who aren't already fans will be gunning to say it's not a good game, we told you so, etc. Obviously as a backer I hope they can pull it off and it is fun for everyone resulting in more people getting interested in the Star Citizen persistent universe experience as a result.

Fore 75 $ Can you can buy a ship and play the game . I am not sure how many backers there are right now . If you take the total funding and divide it buy the number of backers you are likely see that the av ridge is much greater than 75 $ can . At this point the game is largely playable . This shows how much those that backed like the game . :)

I'm not judging anyone that's playing it, nor do I really have any experience playing it and knowing what the enjoyment level is. I just saw the article marking it as approaching $1B in funding and not even having the campaign released yet, which is GTA6 levels of crazy to me. (I backed Camelot Unchained a million years ago and that seems to still be getting funding somehow without producing anything so far)

Seeing games like Claire Expedition, Bg3, or even smaller games like Blue Prince have greatly shifted in my mind what's possible. So the idea that ANY game could cost $1B is bonkers. What should be available in the game for that price should make it one of the greatest entertainment achievements of all time. And I would say the same of any game hitting that development mark.

What they’ve delivered is a pretty impressive gameplay experience with no signs of slowing at this point with Squadron 42 scheduled for 2026. Good times now for Star Citizen and good times ahead. Lots of people playing and enjoying the game. Keep the money flowing I say! Get’s me more of the dream in game with every update!

It’ll be interesting to see as the game transitions to adding more solar systems and more game systems (crafting is next for 2026 for example) how they can keep funding going in the future. They are hoping to support the game for decades. Those of us who have been supporters and playing for a long time keep saying “there. That must be everyone who want to play now!” But the numbers keep rising.

I’d like them to spend a bit more attention on the new player experience. It’s a tonne to learn. But there are lots of good folks in the community and chat is helpful, if occasionally filled with idiots lol
