MY SYSTEM SPEC | / boredgamer_system_specs
Star Citizen is an Open Development Alpha Project by Cloud Imperium. It is 2 Games really though, the Persistent Universe that aims to build a First Person MMO Space Sim that encompasses gameplay in ship & on ground, economy and pretty much anything else you can think of. It's built in the StarEngine (a modified Lumberyard Engine). You'll see massive Space Ships that you can fly with friends, land on planets, explore or whatever your way to whatever goal you choose. It's available to try in it's current Alpha State now, you can give feedback & influence the direction of the game BUT it is VERY ALPHA.
Squadron 42 is the Single Player Campaign of Star Citizen & the Spiritual Successor of Wing Commander. The Idea is the game is immersive, cinematic, beautiful & seamless... NO LOADING SCREENS once in game.
Both Games are currently in the Alpha of their development.
I am suspecting to see something more mainstream for Star Citizen's PU by the end of 2024 with permanent progression, though it will be a while after that before the game is considered "feature complete" which would be closer to 2025 in my opinion.
The are no dates for Squadron 42's Release Yet BUT it is now Feature Complete.
I am an Independent Content Creator & Star Citizen Fan. I am not paid by Cloud Imperium HOWEVER I am an Evocati Member and as such I am under an NDA for Closed Early Patch Tests of Star Citizen', known as the Evocati Test Flight (ETF).

[@Cablezero1]

Great vid as usual. Thanks Bored and Zin.

[@soloistpro]

I am desperately awaiting more news on the RSI Galaxy. Base building, and making my home in the verse is the thing I'm looking forward to the most. I can't wait to see how all that is going to come into the game.

[@EXRAY479]

Base building will add so much to the game

[@NomadHorizon]

I have a galaxy and a Zeus and am just hoping they both come out this year. Im also hoping RSI releases a salvage ship so that way i can have my entire fleet as rsi and be able to have every ship i need for base building, also have a daily driver, and a fighter for the miscreants.

[@soloistpro]

@@NomadHorizon I have both of those too. Right now I'm enjoying the C1 and MSR as my daily drivers. Data running and scanning I'm also eagerly awaiting for the MSR's intended loops. Still love that ship even if it's under protected and under gunned for it's size.

[@antisaint8170]

The galaxy is my next major purchase. I have my Zeus's and my perseus and just need my galaxy and arrastra

[@COMMANDERHAWK22]

Galaxy will get work started on it as soon as the polars becomes flight ready.

[@jch1386]

I think once they get 4.0 out, they really need to work on stability. With Pyro out, the loose server mechanics will all be there I think, so making sure netcode issues like box missions working 100% of the time is what they need to focus on to make a good first impression for potential players.

[@Hokie2k11]

I think they are working on this as part of the 'bigger picture', no? They can't really have stability as long as the servers are being overworked, and the servers will be overworked until they get server meshing in. They can't really reduce it to the max til they get dynamic server meshing in. And they can't really, really improve things until they have all of that and server replication... no? Wouldn't optimization be a bit of a waste until they've rolled out those three together, at least in the PTU?

[@Hokie2k11]

Not that I know how long any of that will take. Supposedly they'll have server meshing with 4.0, but it won't be on a planetary, let alone ship scale like they've talked about.... more like one server per solar system. My guess is that if they get 4.0 out by Christmas, they'll work towards something like servers for individual planets/moons in 2025. Who knows.

[@JetSe77er]

I hope one of those ships is the Constellation series gold standard. With the upcoming MFD update, that would make sense to me.

[@greenblazes]

I hope they fix more things in the 3.23 cycle

[@korbentherhino]

Likely will spend heavy amount to dial in the desync and server performance to prepare for server meshing.

[@Exo98761]

They did mention distribution centers are coming in 2.23.x patch so I am pretty certain they will fix a lot of things and not just go straight to 4.0

[@Quillyik]

Once the first system is out, it will likely open the floodgates to new ones.... however there is going to be a LONG ironing period after pyro comes out,.

[@Tribalwerewolf]

@@Exo98761Aren’t they already in game? Hangars and cargo missions etc are for 3.23.x

[@The_Fallen_1]

Here's hoping that 3.23.2 goes into the PTU with the hangar updates as soon as Invictus ends!

[@NandxHDpc]

CIG working on new ships with cool features and no gameplay loop to use them in.

[@DJHumla]

Wouldnt they need the ships first to test the gameplay loop tho? Like salvage, they would need a salvage ship before the salvage system, so they know that the ship actually can salvage?

[@ghostxmg]

@@DJHumla by that logic, they've *had* shops to test this on, and still haven't. Sadly I don't think they're ever going to, especially if people keep spending, so they have no incentive to change.

[@jodofe4879]

I like the partnership with the Luna Wolves (nice 40k reference btw). It is good to see orgs involving themselves in this way and sponsoring creators.

[@MultiDeathThreat]

I bought the game a week before all of this, didnt get the discount package ship, but the cutter does it job. This game is my new addiction. Thanks for helping me understand what's going on. I like having a game where i have questions, cause it means theres so much to learn.

[@Wundermuffin]

Lookup “CCU chaining” if you’re new. Really great way to cheaply upgrade your game package ship over time as the game develops.

[@johnschmidt763]

This is what I love about Star Citizen. They promote and reward helping your fellow citizen. It’s through acts of generosity and helpfulness that networks and friendships are formed

[@LegendsSeeker]

Since I saw X-Men, I have a serious obsession with Aegis Retaliator.

[@T3hBr0k3nM0nk3y]

See the dropship in 'ALIENS' yet? Pretty big influence there.

[@jamesaspinall9248]

If they are 20% behind last year, I wonder what the new Sabre and to be announced Drake ship will do to those numbers in the new few days.

[@mattp1337]

Best speculation about the ship @7:20 is that it's a new starter from Crusader or maybe some other manufacturer that doesn't have a starter yet: Anvil or Argo? I'd expect it to appear at IAE.

[@renaudabbadie8154]

This could be an exploration ship for 2 players since there is none currently, whether ingame or even in concept. Personally, I'd like it to be a Consolidated Outland ship since their line-up is quite embryonic compared to other manufacturers. The angular shape reminds me a bit of the Nomad and it would fit their "frontier/pioneer" style.

[@COMMANDERHAWK22]

No way that would be a massive starter

[@mattp1337]

@@COMMANDERHAWK22 InfoRunners did the math and it was between an Avenger Titan and a 300-series. Perfectly plausible starter.

[@jasonfabrick9308]

Someone posted a video of getting into the Drake Hall. No ships were in yet but the signs were. They did not see anywhere for the new ship and the holo room was just the Kraken. Maybe they got into an old hall but the elevator worked to get out.

[@EpicGameHunter]

Was really hoping for the Galaxy to be on sale a few days ago, but no luck. Hopefully it'll come again with the IAE

[@issacclarke624]

Well the Galaxy isn't a military ship, so it should be for sale around IAE!

[@vik12D]

Looking for am LTI Galaxy or Pioneer for IAE.

[@issacclarke624]

@@vik12D same here, I got a Pulse ready and lined up to chain to it

[@Mace1000S]

I want the Zeus, I do like the pulse and the medic rover. They fixed the flashing lights on the back of the MSR. That’s really nice.

[@Jinx_4x4]

With all the medical stuff going on the Apollo should be soon... (tm) As far as Drake ships, aren't we still waiting for the Kraken?

[@cv368]

You know, if you keep calling it "the fat Fury" that nickname is gonna stick around again like when you decided to shorten it to MSR 😆

[@Azreal15]

So the Firebird is the same price as the base Sabre, that’s understandable I suppose. What I was really looking for was that black with red trim skin, CIG showed in their initial Sabre Firebird tweet. Especially since it seems like they are making all skins standardized to fit all Sabres.🇺🇦🇭🇹🇵🇸

[@pablofiasco2]

This year is shaping up to be exciting! im still guessing that the Drake Concept is either going to be the long rumored "Fatterpillar", or the "Corvette class" that was mentioned at the bar citizen a few months ago

[@1jbrady]

I'm excited for the zeus release. Have my upgrade ready to go . Waiting to see if the retaliator increases in price

[@Archmage9885]

I did a bounty qualification and a VLRT in a rental Firebird. It took almost the entire 4000 ballistic rounds in the Firebird to kill a Cutter in the first mission and an Aurora in the second. That doesn't seem normal.

[@sosigakaweinerman869]

Can't wait to get my hands on the Polaris!

[@BoredGamerUK]

me too buddy

[@blomsky3475]

The 'big shadow' might refer to the size of the newly announced Drake ship, but I hope that it refers to it´s planned role or capabilities. I think that SC does not really need another capital ship in the backlog. So, I hope that it will be something smaller but very useful

[@Shalekitty]

Firebird looks interesting, but missile boats exaccerbate anaspect of ballistics that I don't personally care for, which is longevity. I trend towards energy loadouts because I don't want my guns to get to the click-click-clicky part. I'm hoping for a gunboat variant, but I think my Lightning would prevent such a ship from finding a home in my hangar.

[@maestrom7531]

The firebird should be fun someday, when missiles actually work correctly.

[@daniellamoreaux7489]

you asked what ship it was at 7:15, Im thinking that is one of the Zeus ships turned a little toward the camera?

[@Aledar_]

4.0 and Pirate Week happening at the same time would be a fitting pair

[@encryptdcypher]

Regarding the unidentified ship @7:20 - It’s clearly the RSI Zeus… you can see easily identifiable lines on the body towards the wing tips etc… plus look at the angles…. Definitely an RSI design.

[@renaudabbadie8154]

It's not the Zeus since you can see the Zeus silhouette right after this one in the CitCon video. But RSI could be the manufacturer, indeed.

[@COMMANDERHAWK22]

Yeah its 100% clearly not the zues this has a side ramp all the zues ships have back ramps

[@encryptdcypher]

Either way I guess we’ll see 😃

[@SwaysauceMKVII]

Maybe the Perseus? I hope so

[@jshreyer]

I’m interested in the Retaliator with the modules but, aside from spending $360 to get warbond, is there any way to get LTI on the modules?

[@cringe5167]

someone reply, do i get the shrike or the new firebird? i had the shrike a year ago and miss it just wondering since the talon isn't available right now should I wait for is the firebird up to par with the talon?

[@RavingNut]

I'm looking forward to personal hangers, I can get a full setup ship running without going to many locations just to place a Rover or Cyclone and depending on the ship a C8 as well.

[@lunasakara7306]

Decided to CCU up to the Apollo a few days, I've always had an eye on it because it looked like a good ship to have. So, Apollo this year?

[@moistglue]

I think this invictus has shown just how capable the team is now. We got 3 ships straight to flyable, modularity and at least 1 concept in the form of the drake ship. I know invictus is a major event but i feel like IAE will be even bigger

[@CoolPapaKMagic]

Drake's in lore reason for defensecon is hilarious. That said let's go Anvil day!

[@jonny_vdv]

It's pretty cool seeing the new Retaliator modules, it could make the Tali really handy for high-value cargo

[@PvtDamion]

I missed the updates on the Zeus MK2s delays until now, the ES is the only variant I haven't bought, although I might upgrade one of my Cutlass Black's to one, having two exploration/touring ships might be a smart move

[@ragnaroke]

Grabbed an Ironclad Assault from DefenseCon, excited to use it as a miniature mobile base with the NURSA and a Fury

[@Michea32]

Cant wait to try out the Zues.Hope it will be good to do merc quests and bounties and maybe other non combat quests

[@logmo7959]

So with the idris will you be able to upgrade that In Game ? Their last update on this topic was in 2019 lol

[@Xendrak007]

Thanks again for the recap!I hope they add the pickup Drone for the Apollo soon. With the med changes it would be nice to fly it in the verse.

[@COMMANDERHAWK22]

The drake ship will be a massive cargo ship as something to bridge the gap between the cat and the keacken

[@EliasWindrider]

I am looking forward to that one ship that you said you didn't know what it is, I hope it's an advanced starter from RSI or Anvil that competes with the avenger series and 300 series (as in interceptor with bed and cargo), if it's an RSI ship it'll probably be the best of the bunch.

[@BazureSkyslash]

I am hoping that the new Drake ship isn't something massive. We already have the Kraken waiting on development, and if they add another big ship it's unlikely it would come any time soon. Here's hoping the "big shadow" is more metaphorical than literal.

[@maverickbc38]

Lookin forward to Personal Hangers and the new Cargo, good times on the way :)

[@Chriszs93]

That mystery ship you couldn't ID looked kinda like the mine layer, nautilus I think it is.

[@markibod1636]

I reckon the Drake ship will be some form of support ship personally, but we'll find out on Thursday haha - keep up the amazing work :)

[@Wolf-js8vd]

The galaxy looks really cool. I'm super keen to pickup one of the small crew ships like the Constellation, Corsair, Galaxy, etc

[@buhatkj]

i was hoping for the galaxy this year, thought maybe one of those in the citcon teaser was it, but guess not. THe other onje I'd love to see is the Railen, but thats unlikely, though John Crew did say it was scheduled to be in the pipeline this year i thought.

[@MeatSalad84]

I'm excited about alien week... I've never been around for it before, so should be neat. Do they do things similar to ILW?

[@CruciblePlays]

Star citizen is in such a good spot right now. Other than server issues with the huge influx because of free fly, the game runs really well. Cannot wait for them to finish up the core technology behind the game

[@bsquaredbundles]

I know what I WANT the new Drake ship to be; my original design for what became the Corsair. But as for what it actually will be, I have no idea. A cargo ship, a pioneer competitor, a solar sailer, who knows?

[@Guggan90]

Really looking forward to hangars and cargo missions. Was hoping for that for last patch, but ill wait :).

[@JediConscious]

Looking forward to an update on persistence hangars and freight elevators.

[@CptWinning]

Maybe it’s a medium ship that hides the signature of ships around it? But feel like if that were a thing it wouldn’t be a Drake

[@jlalone]

I'm looking forward (eventually) to the Crucible now that modularity is in. An odd thing that I think that CIG could add that would be super fun is to give us something that launches those fireworks they use for the fleet. No real in game use, but it'd be fun to play with.

[@nicholasplotts5770]

I think Fleet Week isn't doing so hot because the warbonds just don't seem to be the ones that would sell the most, or maybe I don't get it since I'm not a major mil-spec pilot. As for the Drake ship, i'd like something to slot in between the Corsair and the Kraken that is more of a battleship.

[@justinguzman8970]

Land claims!! And 4.0 by the end of the year let's go! 😅

[@jdgomes87]

Eye tracking looks like it would greatly improve immersion and ability to look around in combat, just haven't been able to try it for the price of the Tobii. Going to give Beam a try for sure.

[@justinsandock]

Lots of great things coming this year. I'm looking forward to personal hangers and server meshing.

[@augameplays]

So modules have insurance too?

[@hunterreynolds8628]

I’m the most excited for base building . Interested to see how they will tackle that! But that being said the persistent hangers and cargo elevator are the next best thing and I can’t wait for those either lol.

[@persuadedterror925]

Im really curious what the drake ship drop will be, Im hoping a large hauler, like a true competitor to the herc, a military hauler.

[@stealfox]

I hope the New Drake ship is a heavy fighter, it seems to be the only class of ship missing from it's lineup.

[@tiggerib5536]

I think once Pyro is out and stabilized we will see other solar system being put in at a quick pace.

[@z-eight6274]

Keen to try out the Firebird, I know missiles leave a lot to be desired, but here is to hoping that it gets fixed soon enough

[@Thepapeman]

Excited to see what the new Drake ship could be and I wonder if any new Alien ships could happen.

[@GoofyLuffyMonke]

really hope that they focus on stabilizing the current gameplay and bring in base building for the next patch

[@SpeedyR0gue07]

With pyro and engineering coming we need afleet support vehicle. Whether a carrier equiped to supply smaller ships for firefighting and medical or repair. Or just a big ship that does that itself

[@Haegemon]

Release the Kraken! 😂 Probably the Kraken will be the main fleet support ship for the outlaw systems the same way the ships of the Invictus Fleet are for the lawful UEE.

[@tje.o.a5477]

I REALLY hope we get TITAN suits soon, maybe a dropship? that drake concept is gonna be exiting to learn about >_>

[@BonusContent]

Took the firebird rental out today, thing is nimbly bimbly 1399 speed ooooWEE

[@Teafa541]

Hoping for that new Miri heavy next month. I'm very excited to see what it can do!

[@alexgomez5129]

That Beam Eye Tracking thing is a great alternative.

[@RavenandWolfTV]

I know that cig is trying to focus on one ship family at a time like RSI, crusader, etc. But man, I want them to release the kraken so soon

[@DJRaffa1000]

Really hyped for the cargo changes. Trucking missions alone will be a huge impact because you don't need to be a millionaire to utilize bigger ships.

[@toroka]

@BoredGamer I must've missed it, but I wasn't aware the Zeus Mk II was that close to release. I should pay more attention ;)

[@originalninjapirate]

to be fair we are in a stupidly expensive time to just live for most and tittering on a recession. so less sale is to be expected sadly. also that blurred ship is the RSI Zeus

[@Michael-CS]

A tour of the Polaris this week? Interesting. Looking forward to that!

[@wirdens7579]

I'm really curious to see what cgi has planned for beyond 4.0 it's gonna be really exiting to see what's gonna be possible once server meshing is in

[@Fenrir152]

Im always hyped to see multirole mission hoppers (I really want the explorer variant of the Zeus)

[@GaradanR]

Thank you for the rest of the year sneak peak!

[@batonemo6096]

Looking forward to that ISC for sure. Any Polaris updates are good Polaris updates. Though now I'm wondering if I could justify an Idris. Damn you, starcitisen

[@BlazeBlevinspace]

Is ut flying around Stanton? I can never find the fleet been ingame several times so far

[@Pyrilium1043]

I enjoying the views of the Polaris, but CIG really needs to start thinking about their designs (unless they are intentional leaving vulnerabilities). The Polaris needs at least one more turret because it has a huge blind spot to the lower rear of the ship. The tail turret is blocked facing down. The side turrets can't cover top or bottom and the engines block even more to the rear. The heavy underside turret has a structural element blocking fire toward the rear preventing it from covering said rear or even mid-range on the belly. All the ships are designed for in atmosphere combat, but they need to start thinking in 3 dimensional combat and operation. Ships meant to remain in space 100% shouldn't have a belly but a core or axis. Still excited, just hope they fix it.

[@philipp270799]

Hopefully Cargo-missions etc. will be soon in evocati. Maybe after FW?

[@jessicaorisaaclaemmle6905]

I hope they have a Star Citizen Live about base building and related things sometime this year.

[@BuckeyeChris]

I’m thinking that it’ll be more of a medium size ship since they have plenty of big ones of the back log

[@snaggletoof1927]

Dying to hear more about base building. Of all the features coming, I think that's the one I will enjoy the most. Thanks for the update, Bored!

[@cjayfpv5823]

Any news on the Galaxy? Was a little bummed when it didn't even get a mention on RSI day!

[@lacielexbloodsilver2544]

Kinda excited to know what this concept ship will be

[@christopherwells4253]

If I had to make a guess on the "new" Drake ship its going to be some sub version of the Kraken.

[@bsquaredbundles]

Oh yes! A Liberator competitor! That will come our before the Liberator! OR the flying truck stop idea someone pitched!

[@vik12D]

Kinda lol

[@wotansman]

I actually have an MSR and a pirate paint job for it (It's not very piraty, just burnished steel) but it still looks good. I'm pretty happy with that, at least so far.

[@somrune3408]

I thought that ship was the Zeus, since it looks like the profile of a galaxy but a lot smaller

[@operator001]

I'm still impatient for the persistent hangers! Huge game changer! Excited for 4.0 release also!

[@ryanwho4433]

after server meshing and pyro I hope they work on being able to put out patches without the constant inventory resetting.

[@danielputhawala2008]

This is probably not a super common opinion, but i would be really interested to see what a medical or industrially-oriented ship from crusader would be like.

[@xugans99]

I can't wait until I have an apartment I can call my own. Maybe one day they'll evolve the apartment system, have different sized apartments that you would rent for a monthly fee depending on size

[@SchrodingersCitizen]

Agreed! That could be interesting, having personalized apartments over the cookie cutter habs, I'd like to be able to hang up photos or keep personal items that I brought back from travels and decorate the place. Maybe we might be able to live on an outpost someday too.

[@dougbillings]

Glad to see the project turn a corner. My only concern is the speed that they are able to produce/update ships. Until they can get it down from 1 year to ~3 months for a medium ship concept to release, I don't see how they will move to 1.0 any time sooner than. 3 years from now ... And that makes me sad

[@yozzerhughes1623]

Even the smallest ship can cast a large shadow if it flies close to the sun - yeah I think the Drake is a CAPITAL ship... Liking the fleet week so far and look forward to when they have the base building and farming Expo rofl.

[@kevsky3d]

Great updates, thanks Bored! Ill have a copy of the C1 Spirit Spacecraft Manual for you at CitCon :D

[@BoredGamerUK]

Yes please!
