Star Citizen Is FINALLY Fixing its Starmap in Alpha 3.23! (React & Analysis)

The starmap in Star Citizen has been one of the pain points of many players, and even a reason not to play the game. From new player-facing information to custom player-made map markers, to actual functional navigation tools! Here is our final preview before the update goes live.

That "opening the mobiglass" animation is hilarious. People look DOWN at devices. That thousand yard stare makes me laugh.

[@LucidStrike]

Worth the tradeoff for players. Looking ahead helps situational awareness.

[@jonahhekmatyar]

Armor already gets in the way as is. Lowering the arm would make it basically unusable.

[@Axeonfluke]

@jonahhekmatyar well you would at least look down to turn it on and then hold your arm up. I'm not a hater but it looks silly as-is and it makes me smile.

[@Ethreck]

I hope you can adjust the background opacity of the mobiGlas. I am still not a fan of this mostly transparent look.

[@CosmicD]

21:00 Custom markers and their full persistent functionality will be in a later update. That stuff where you can sell markers in space or on other planets will only work when they update the system so it can update real time location info, and you can download & trade it. But that's not for 3.23 yet.

[@sYd6point7]

This and a search bar in my inventory... and they can do whatever for like a year or two.. these two changes will be huge.

[@R1PPA-C]

I can't believe they're leaving the ghosting in, sometimes it becomes worse depending on the text or what's being displayed, it's like looking through the bottom of an empty whiskey bottle

[@M4VERICK69]

Mobiglass to ship short range communication so we can open and close the doors remotely would be such a welcome feature. Great vid as always ST ❤ 🍅

[@bgd_ton6648]

Another lost technology from the past, in SC

[@mariomunoz5339]

8:58 personally i don’t mind the opacity i actually like it even if that light was piercing through the map.

[@blackmamba___]

Star map is a big deal for me on par with server meshing and Pyro

[@jbirdmax]

7:18 lmao 😂😂😂😂

[@majikalmcmuffin6258]

God, as someone who is not super up on star citizen it's so hard to keep up, like when is any of this stuff coming? where are dates even posted, like all i hear is about what's next, what's next, its like nothing actually arrives, or if it does i never hear anything about it.

[@SciPhiX]

Nice, but my new Mobiglass is showing only 7 out of 11 tabs. Am I the only one, who has this issue?

[@seancpcp]

Outro music?

[@Solmungandr]

I hope they fixed that screen while you have heavy armor equiped.

[@Vandreren83]

1. Needs an opacity slider, no question. 2. Text need something to make it stand out a bit more. Maybe customizable outline. 3. 3rd person mobiglass usage needs to look less derpy. Characters using it look so dumb.

[@malkowitch]

12:24 that city view would be very pc resources expensive. Nice view but not worth the cost.

[@Nobody-uu6ki]

??? what do you mean

[@malkowitch]

@@Nobody-uu6ki The transition hes talking about would require doing Picture in Picture. That basically ends up rendering two scenes at once. There is a reason why there is no real mirror, scope or zoom-out in FPS games like this. Imagine having to render two different scenes at once both using different textures, models, light.

[@randyscharf1505]

13:23 give us it on a app i wanna use this on my tablet

[@GONEAL93]

Looks like PicoLando Despacito to me.

[@KurasuAkami]

And I'm still here waiting for the UI ship rework, because right now it really ruins the aesthetic of the ship

[@ViniciusConsorte]

Imagine you coming towards your ship with you "apple watch " of 900 years in the future and being able to command your ship to open ramp or drop elevator so you can enter with a vehicle, like you do today with your house garage doors.... nah, you have to stop, turn it off, go outside, open the door, get back into the vehicle, drive inside, get out again and click a button in the wall to close the elevator/ramp. Oh, almost forgot... CIG, PLEASE FIX THE DAMN GHOSTING on all the menus, icons, letters.... we cant read anything, how hard is to make texts sharp and clear so we can read quikly and move on....

[@IndigoSun-hz6cq]

ffs... 'le grunge points'.

[@kbutler0615]

STAR MAP!!!!!!!!!!

[@VFW-Mayer]

A Playable Server FPS needs to be the Priority Before any more upgrades are added. We can not test the game properly if the server fps is below 10 near constantly.

[@LucidStrike]

Those upgrades don't effect the tick rate, nor are those devs responsible for developing Server Meshing itself. They are however responsible for making those features compatible with Server Meshing, which involves testing them in the live alpha environment. If they didn't do this, once server meshing did arrive, you'd probably complain, "The tick rate is great, but the features are so buggy 😡" You're in a construction zone. Set your expectations accordingly.

[@VFW-Mayer]

@@LucidStrike If the tick rate was playable, we could have battles and run missions with no lag and a good time. Is the game that deep yet? Not really, but what makes doing everything worse, is lagging and seeing team mates lag around you running into a bunker, with the AI not responding. It is nearly impossible to test a games features when the action of using those features lags. That is my only point.

[@vamperic]

Congrats on the typical fool comment once again being a person that doesn't get the very simple concept of multiple teams, these guys aren't incharge of the server team

[@ukwerna]

hey tomato, really like your videos, but I think sometimes it would be easier for watchers if you keep the CIG video running for a certain minmum of time, rather than break up mid sentences, and then mid sentence again 3 sentences later. Then pause for longer and go over various things..

[@Roboticus_Prime_RC]

He does that so they can't copywrite strike him.

[@SleepyFl0wer]

Nobody is going to miss the old shitty map it can die
