Welcome back to Last Week In The Verse!
In this video, we delve into Star Citizen’s exciting 4.0 update, highlighting the incredible new Jump Points and the expansive Pyro system. During IAE, CIG hinted at a major shake-up to Master Modes, with discussions suggesting their possible removal in favor of a streamlined approach tied to Quantum Boost. We’ll break down the progress CIG has made so far, tackle the lingering bugs and performance challenges, and speculate on the future of navigation and combat mechanics. From ship roles and Time to Disable mechanics to capital ship gameplay, this video offers a comprehensive look at how 4.0 is shaping the ‘verse.

I had a really good experience on pyro IV today, like it was crazy. Peak star citizen interactive gameplay and general feeling, things were responsive. Nothing short of great, but then the server recovery kicked in so it has some time left

[@Hav0k]

Nice! I'm always glad to hear of moments like these! It's great when the game operates well. I'm really hoping they can get the bugs fixed and that Server Meshing provides a much better experience.

[@ironwarr]

@@Hav0k server meshing has already proven to be a huge improvement, there were like 140 people on one dgs at one point and it didn't crash for a long time, but it's a problem that everyone wants to be in pyro lol

[@Hav0k]

@@ironwarr Oh I'm aware. In my mine, server meshing has been a massive success and continues to deliver great performance. Really, it's now just the FPS issues and random bugs like falling through terrain and elevators not working.

[@ironwarr]

@@Hav0k elevators sure are a hassle, hopefully they can get them working somewhat until the transit refactor is back in play. don't know what happened to it

[@ironwarr]

@@Hav0k oh also on a side note I like your content and your view on it all and I was planning to join the discord but the invite seems to have expired

[@TheWartimeCEO]

Very nice video, loads of good info. Thank you

[@Hav0k]

@@TheWartimeCEO Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@goldendragoon25]

Love your honesty and not just being zealous about the game. Love that you will point out stuff that is problematic. I hope you get those bug fixes and game stability. Hope one day to be able to get a good rig to be able to play.

[@Hav0k]

I try to be honest and also not overzealous about the game. But I do enjoy it most days.

[@GrimGatsby]

Through the ocean of content creators who over-zealously praise the game or spread baseless hate about it, it's nice to find one who just covers the game in an unbiased and factual manner. Thank you!

[@Hav0k]

Glad you enjoy the content!

[@larryrankine8088]

As always well done my friend! It would certainly be great if they can get 4.0 out the door, if for no other reason than to get this wipe done and dusted. However, .......the phrase "we will serve no wine, until it's time" comes to mind.

[@Hav0k]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah I'm ready to send 3.24.3 packing as well. But I would like the elevators and stations to be fixed and to stop falling through planets 🤣

[@PsychicSoldierPro]

I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress. MM, even by cig own words, only the first step of the evolving flight model. I see operator modes just being the next development of MM, rather then its removal. Right now, its hard to know where things land as there are systems still to come online (engineering, control surfaces, malstrom/physicalized damage model, tiered crafting, etc) as well as ongoing archtype tuning as well as then needing to do tuning on a ship by ship basis, then going over all weapons and componants to give them meaningful purpose and states. asking if I'm worried about combat is like asking me if I'm worried about a pizza when its only just got rolled out and sauced; I won't be able to tell till everything comes together to make a whole, then be able to judge the whole package. Hope that makes sense :)

[@Hav0k]

Yeah I agree. And I think the direction they're going ># the right direction. But yeah I don't really think it's the removal of MM either. Just it evolving to be what they had always intended. They just need to get quantum boost and quantum travel updates in.

[@Bubblegum_Ronin]

Great video.. super polished.

[@Hav0k]

Glad you liked it!

[@gorganhorn6872]

Swarms of fighters no matter how well coordinated should never be able to challenge capital ships alone. They should only be one part of the puzzle in tackling a certain defense layer to enable the capital ships they are supporting to become more effective in defeating the rival capital ship.

[@Hav0k]

I completely agree.

[@MidAirMamba]

Loved the video bro! Really impressed with your cameras quality. What camera do you use?

[@Hav0k]

Think I'm just going to wait until after invictus before I get back in. Controller support please!!

[@TinMan445]

I watched the crafting and base building Q&A, and I couldn’t help but notice, ALL the SR developers are very young men. Like early 20’s. I’m sure they’re not bad developers, but they don’t have the experience to be in SR positions, and the game shows it.

[@DaringDan]

They added new places to do walking and flying simulator things.

[@Helspyre]

The PU has been bad enough even before IAE. It's hard to get motivated to log in as it is. I don't know if 4.0 can be much worse, but even if it is only somewhat better on paper, the amount of people logging in for it may cripple it anyway if it's not ready. I expect the holiday period may be rough either way.

[@Hav0k]

Yeah I hear that. 3.24.3 has been rough, but I've honestly had a ton of fun with it despite the issues. Which has me a bit more excited for 4.0 than it would otherwise.

[@RespiteofChampions]

I still predict 4.0 to be put on the open PTU to all backers by the end of the year, and a full live release early next year. At this point, they just couldn't possibly have all the data they need to work on fixing these bugs from just Wave 1 and Evocati players alone.

[@Hav0k]

Actually, you'd be surprised. There's a lot of bug reports going on that they may have enough data to go off. And they are making really good headway with each patch.

[@RespiteofChampions]

@@Hav0k I know, but it just doesn't feel like enough to warrant a live launch by the end of this year.

[@Hav0k]

@RespiteofChampions i get it. But I think they'll just send it anyway tbh.

[@Vioblight]

We all know it will go live ready or not. I love that they pulled engineering and server meshing just to still have issues, sigh… Excited to try it but it better be stable

[@Hav0k]

@Vioblight They didn't pull server meshing. Server meshing and jump points are the key feature. Even Pyro takes a backseat for me

[@borgthepig]

Engineering was pulled from 4.0 because it wasn’t ready, unlike the rest of the update. Compared to pyro and server meshing, it wasn’t important. CIG wanted people testing the 2 main things with the update and not focusing on engineering which probably wasn’t even finished. So instead of delaying 4.0 until engineering was ready, they pulled engineering to work on later and focused on the primary features which were already complete. If anything, it’s CIG being smart

[@Hav0k]

@@borgthepig 100% agree

[@vulcan4d]

would be nice to play 4.0 during my holiday break :/

[@Hav0k]

I can understand. I would feel the same way if I were you and didn't have access as well!

[@MooneShadow]

Imagine all this work... And we have 3 more systems to go before ver 1 beta. They have their work cut out for them.

[@Hav0k]

They definitely do. Luckily, the next one after Pyro is pretty much complete. Which will be implemented pretty quick once server meshing is stable.

[@nemesis9330]

"I know, let's take a game that has so many bugs that it's unplayable and work on expanding the content!"

[@Hav0k]

A game that's still in development where it would be counterproductive to focus on fixing every single bug that causes minor inconveniences. As I pointed out, though, some bugs are really important to fix.

[@kgra8346]

3 out of 4 box delivery missions fail due to bugs of some sort. How can they move foward with such huge bugs? This issue has been going on for 2 years for me. I end up stop playing for 6 months only to find the same issues again. Its like they're building a road and not fixing pot holes that they built in. Its been 10 years, fix the pot holes.

[@gabzsy4924]

It dosn't matter if SC is ready or not for Pyro 4.0, this needs to happen, no matter the initial outcome. It's too long overdue and sometimes we need to take big leaps of faith in adverse times with adverse outcomes in order to keep moving and avoid stagnation.

[@Hav0k]

I kinda agree with you tbh. It's honestly probably just time to rip off the bandaid and let the wound heal slowly if it has to. This is needed in order to disinfect the wound, so to speak

[@jeremiahbond2810]

Well, the sub said it wont be released until after luminalia. And peeps said thats jan 8th at min. Thats generally a really long time. Im personally not impressed with the amount of time it takes for them to get stuff completed.

[@Hav0k]

I wouldn't put too much stock into that. They're likely going to drop it just before they take off on their vacation. Come hell or high water.

[@jeremiahbond2810]

@Hav0k Well, its the words right out of their mouth. So, who believes that?

[@Hav0k]

@@jeremiahbond2810 Their previous habits say that. They have to have a Decemeber patch. This is their general disposition. To release something for Christmas. Whether it's ready or not. I'm just basing my opinion on past actions.

We're finally back with Last Week In The Verse! Today we have a lot to discuss on the state of 4.0 in the EPTU and also the big changes possibly coming to master modes in the future! What are your thoughts about the changes to combat? Are you for it? Or are you concerned? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

[@joker_g7337]

The Pyro stations are all the same!

[@Hav0k]

I fail to see how they need to be unique to be useful. They're for shops, contested zones, and repairing, rearming and refueling ships.

[@DannyDovahkiin]

Honestly the fps is so annoying i played ark even with its lag server wise for many years but i just cant go too long with low fps it sucks because i swear its gotten worse

[@Hav0k]

I mean I'd argue Ark had more FPS lag when I first played it. But I hear what you're saying. It is definitely annoying

[@SmileyReviews]

Would anyone be super mad if we don't see it til 2025? Did anyone actually expect it this year? 😂 In all seriousness, I would rather them not release it before their break and leave the game broken for however long. I think we are legitimately close in a way we haven't been before and it is exciting but I just don't want a repeat of 3.18, and I think we'd all prefer to have something to play than broken new content. Don't get my wrong, I think CIG has made a lot of missteps these last couple years but I do believe they truly want this game as much as we do, as greedy and scummy as some of the tactics are. Ok this is a lot of rambling now I'ma go.

[@Hav0k]

Honestly, yes. I think there will unfortunately be a lot of upset players. Even if it ends up being better for the game. Either way it will be fine and get past the bumpy road.

[@Mace1000S]

Elon buy SC please

@ Why? Elon is much brighter, backed by real money and proven to make products that work. Tones more creativity along with much better ethics. Know to take a company and clean house of dead weight. And he finishes what he starts and he is a master of streamlining projects. NGL! He is talking about starting a computer gaming company.

I dont buy anithing that Cig says in a long time.its always the same shiit every patch.i hope ppl stop buying ships and another company buys Cig.its the only way this game will move forward

[@Hav0k]

I think that after this year's funding, they'll begin to realize that. But for the longest time, people kept buying ships when sends a different message. 2025 will be the "put your money where your mouth is" year.

[@misiek8749]

Hope they fix all those critical bugs haunting sc from a long time, elevators, cargo elevators, teammate markers and server performance, if they at least do not do those, 4.0 might be their second step into the grave.

[@misiek8749]

Overall, new players will not come to a game with such bad reputation, what they need right NOW is taking care of those horrendous glitches and performance of they want to have a future with this game. Edit: bugs not glitches*

[@matuto1986]

The reputation is just

[@Hav0k]

I think when the transit refactor is fully implemented that it will solve a decent chunk of the transit issues once it's refined. Maybe not initially, but eventually.
