hey around 6m there is a weird sound, not in the edit or on the time I watched it…so headphone warning.

just hit it, wasnt too bad on headphones

"Star Citizen 2 years away" - From SaltEMike. Man that hit close to the heart...

[@idn]

Like a dagger. But... progress...

[@erb34]

I haven't been playing the past year... but check in with saltemike and others to check progress. keeping one eye open for progress.

[@polymloth]

I doubt it. It’s still very lacking progression-wise. There is no gameplay arc. The beginning is sort of there, building reputation and such. But it could also be improved, really making the player feel like he’s a part of the universe. But then, what’s mid-game? Random missions, making money, org-gameplay, exploration, … but for what? What’s the endgame? Both the mid and end are just not there. And it’ll take years to fully craft them.

[@madscientist8286]

[@DaringDan]

They've tested Server Meshing, a totally revolutionary tech, and we still can't scroll up in chat or block people in game.

[@cryingsurrogate]

Scrolling might be a part of this mobiglas update. However, blocking is unlikely to be a thing, since it's dumb in this type of mmo setting

[@shadowjacker8211]

Stuff like that is minuscule compared to server meshing. A simple UI implementation will be faster than inventing new technologies. So the focus isn't on minor task.

[@allthatishere]

​@@cryingsurrogateWhy would blocking not be possible in this game? It's literally in every MMO. Even Eve Online has it, and that game is the definition of niche.

[@allthatishere]

​@@shadowjacker8211They would need to invent new technology for you to block someone and scroll up in a chat box? I'm very skeptical with that claim.

[@Turbovolver]

​@@allthatishereNot what they were saying. They are saying server meshing is significant tech, so CIG focused on the significant problem.

[@michaelweaver4439]

I got ChatGPT to summarise the letter to the chairman in as short a summary as possible and this is what it said; “star citizen is almost complete and will be done in two years!”

[@thebrokenman6860]

You needed LM for this? Lol

[@FntX-Video]

@@thebrokenman6860 absolutely. Every letter from any C-level person contains like 1% useful information that could have been said in one sentence - yet you can't throw out this information in one sentence because you earn 10x the amount a month of a regular employee. LMs help us to extract that 1% without wasting our time.

[@lisa-azrabroad4137]

Reward events in games are focussed for the top 20%, they are never for the average or below average player like most of us, hence why they sell the items several years down the line.

[@tripperdan]

Thank you SaltEMike for posting the link to the letter. After your video (I watched on the Roku) I went to RSI's website and couldn't find it (top tier look) and then went to Twitter (aka X) and they didn't mention it either. Glad to have a touch point we can depend on to find information because I was able to come back to your video and link right to it. The simple is yet complicated again

[@malismo]

Facts! Good take, Mike. Just words on paper, digital in this case, now they need to proof their words with actions.

[@xMajorZachx]

I've been saying one of these for a long time. Each planet, along with its moons, should be a server. So in essence, Stanton would be 4 servers, possibly 5, to start. Pyro would be about 6 or 7. This would seriously increase the server FPS everywhere, since each server would be liable for a much smaller area. I am super glad to hear that is on the table!!!

[@Christine-shield]

We love your skeptical optimism. We share both

[@solatis6385]

Nice closing! :D

[@CouchCit]

Whatever that earnable "UEE Civilian Defense Force Stripes" entails, I swear we better not be seeing CS4 and CS5 criminals still benefitting from it during Invictus. Once you get a CS4 you should immediately lose all those privilages.

[@bnut1979]

The typical "...two years away..." is what I got from the letter also. Until we see multiple back-to-back substance-packed patches along with swift 3.XX.X stability/fixes, I will hold my enthusiasm.

[@havocnchoas]

Chris said 1.0, IT'S HAPPENING!!! XD

[@Fe7Ace]

Meanwhile I'm still wandering on the road to 4.0 (and can't see the end yet) 😐

[@SPAMMAN123456789]

​@@Fe7Ace technically the condition originally set out for 4.0 was servermeshing. I'm not gonna say exactly when it will be on the live build but if they are testing it in evo now. This year we will likley get 4.0. And honestly hearing that it is technically working if albeit with some glaring bugs like the mission system, it's still sounding good. Even with crash recovery to boot.

[@RangerxTurbo]

​@@SPAMMAN1234567894.0 this year? Buddy we don't even have 3.23 yet and you think 4.0 will happen soon lol. They need to test 3.23 live and make updates so maybe a year and half for 4.0

[@SPAMMAN123456789]

@RangerxTurbo yes I do think we will have 4.0 this year. Benoit said (and Benoit unlike CR is generally pretty reliable) they were looking forward to testing various meshing configurations this year. And evo is already testing servermeshing that is in a working state. It's not a stretch, my guy or copium. Servermeshing is litterally in evo right now. So unless CIG changes their conditions for 4.0 (which I said before was servermeshing and pyro by extension) then yes its definitly possible. Furthermore most of the devs form SQ42 are now migrating to work on star citizen. Their development speed is going to ramp up

[@avon_c6199]

2 years away since 2016...any year, every year. That so many folks are still gravitating towards this project is mindboggling. CIG and most of all Christ Roberts himself, really found themselfs a golden goose they can eviscerate like crazy. Something seems to be amiss however, if you observe CIGs actions and read between the lines.

[@MrEsphoenix]

I mean, it's a game unlike anything else on the market with promises to be the space sim many of us have always wanted at a time that companies are selling AAA games for £70 that are worse than games we had a decade ago. It's not really that mind boggling.

[@mbg4681]

@@MrEsphoenix >> I mean, it's a game unlike anything else on the market SC has innovated precisely zero unprecedented game features. >> with promises Oh wow, promises?! No other game has ever offered that!

[@MrEsphoenix]

@@mbg4681 Well then name another game that gives me a comparable experience to star citizen. And just because other games show promise doesn't lessen star citizens potential. The big question is why exactly are you so bitter? Nothing wrong with being critical of course, but let's be fair here, despite its issues it offers an experience you can't find elsewhere. I've just never understood this mentality on hating on things others enjoy. In my eyes is as childish as people fanboying, so maybe you can help me understand.

[@mbg4681]

@@MrEsphoenix >> Well then name another game that gives me a comparable experience to star citizen How the hell would I know about your subjective experiences? If you enjoy this "game" that's great, but I don't. >> The big question is why exactly are you so bitter? No, I'm amused.

[@MrEsphoenix]

@@mbg4681 You're dodging the question. I never asked you based on my opinion. Objectively, name a game that offers the same experience as star citizen. You specifically called out my comment that there's nothing like it on the market, so what game has a comparable feature set? Whether you enjoy the game is irrelevant. Nobody forced you to comment on star citizen videos, if you let it live rent free in your head that's your issue. I'm just giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not just some immature hater by giving you a chance to explain why you're going into star citizen content to throw around unconstructive hate.

[@baronvonschnellenstein2811]

Yep @SaltEMike, that summary take of yours seems spot on. Good that they at least addressed the situation regarding Todd Papy's exit. In relation to that: I wonder if CR relocating to Houston might also to be to be closer to and render assistance to his folks. If I recall the SC origin story correctly, CR went back to Houston (where his folks were) after the luxury car hire business in LA folded. A short time thereafter, the SC kickstarter hits the airwaves ...

It was a good letter, cleaned up a few things. I'm sad Todd has gone, seemed to be a cool guy, but I'm sure he'll do great in another part of the industry. This year truly is the proof in the pudding, with most the SQ42 staff now on PU stuff we'll see if they actually get alot of stuff sorted, or keep adding things to the backburner.

[@Turanic1]

[@bepe86]

I've been a backer since late 2019, and for the first time since 2022 I am beginning to be optimistic, albeit cautiously so. I agree with you that we must just CIG by actions and not words, but I think the past 6 months of development has been really encouraging. Core technologies are beginning to be implemented, they are more agressive with testing, QoL-improvements are beginning to come in, and they're focusing on gameplay. The rest of this year will be exciting for sure.

[@solothkaroftrinsic3852]

Funny enough there is a Kickstarter stretch goal at 5 million. "The RSI webcast will feature a monthly Town Hall Q&A with Chris Roberts". I really hate it when companies do not adhere to the stretch goals. Especially since it is nothing impossible to do. It is not our fault that they are so far behind to deliver their product.

[@parkerxgps8101]

Even the letter is evolving. Lots of base level stuff worth adding before I'd want to call it Beta/ 1.0. CDF mission chain seems to be right up your alley. Was refreshing to see Chris open himself up about Todd Papy. I just hope Todd had some choice in the matter. Beyond the move or else ultimatum it seems many may have gotten. Also wondering about this whole toxic comment from a former employee being almost rug swept. Seems agile development isn't always what it's cracked up to be.

i would not make too much of it all. it´s a very big company and it´s normal that egos clash or get hurt. CIG is no different.

[@cmdr.sypher1820]

Remembering when I could only walk around in my hanger and comparing todays play it's hard for me to complain. The road in between a little bumpy but I still play this game every day because there's little competition. I look forward to but don't expect things. I just take it all day by day. Sometimes you cant even log in and the next time we are telling each other that was our best day ever. Until someone has a better replacement I will continue to play this one... I was wishing the upgrade was mech suit or atmospheric jet pack but that's just me wishing!

​@@SaltEMike😅

[@dakaodo]

Good vid! I'm not super invested in SC any more (funny enough, my gaming interests have drifted over 12 years), but I've noticed the arc of your videos and your feelings on SC over the years. I think you strike a great balance in tone -- positivity about what players have received, pragmatism and reservation for 12 years of promises -- promises eventually delivered on, to be fair. But promises often delivered and redelivered a day late and a dollar short. The scope of the game is pretty cool. I don't know if it's "12 years and $1 billion" cool for what it HAS delivered and is likely to ultimately deliver. I don't know how much funding has been spent on massively expensive cutting edge stuff and occasional dead-ends and total reworks, versus outright waste. I leave those opinions to people who are actually game devs. But I do liken SC's development cycle now to the US's abusive love affair with cutting edge military procurement, R&D, and budgets. You often set out an aspirational goal in undeveloped territory without knowing the 1000 steps necessary to get there, and accordingly suffer budget blowouts. But 10 years late and $100s of millions later, sometimes you get something pretty amazing at a possibly too-great cost.

[@cptcarot]

I am really pleased that we are at a point that we have learnt from previous promises and expectations. Result talk greater than words, I am still waiting for 3.23 to be cut back, as it seems to good to be true. I hope that I am not right, with my view based on previous performance. I will be looking forward to the future outcomes, as the current jist suggests things are progressing well. As a non-Evo there appears to be more talk that delivery, lets wait and see.

[@ScottZupek]

20 years away, if that. I posted an article 4 years ago what they need to do as a company to succeed. They are just about at point 2 of 15... 4 years later.

[@Aaron-oe4yr]

I'll just wait to see how things look leading upto citizencon. Wait and see what 3.23 looks like when its actually live. Hopefully it'll all start speeding up and work well.

[@pheebs8451]

I agree Mike. I think the game will accelerate from here what I’m looking for is the goalposts of updates to change. It’s not incorrect Jared saying that this is the mother of all updates and it’s unprecedented but that’s because so far it hasn’t been. Let’s see what the next 2 after this one look like? Maybe larger updates will become the norm?

[@latech7671]

NO, we cannot expect the 3.23 treatment for every patch going forward simply because those features have been developed for A LOT LONGER in the background. What I think this 1.0-Talk and big patches means is, that they now, that core-tech is finished and SQ42 is starting it's finishing steps, will have a way clearer roadmap for SC and therefore work on features that really matter AND flesh them out (at least most of them) completely. That is at least how I see it. I say most of them as I do think there are still core-systems that might not be core-tech but are still VERY IMPORTANT missing that might hold some features back (Malestrom, Resource-Network and especially the big final boss Quantum-Simulation). What it might however mean, that they are building this roadmap internally is that they might have a better understanding of which features are still blocked and shouldn't start development and then prioritise the once that can be fleshed out right now. In the end, I found this interesting not because the promise MORE but simply because it really sounds like they are planning A LOT which is I think for such a big project always great. And I do think over the last few years (when most of the team was on SQ42) in terms of SC we did see a big problem with long-term planning That are my thoughts on what this means for SC

[@EmissionGaming]

Just because they’ve been open about how long these features have been in development, doesn’t mean nothing else is being worked on slowly on the side that they haven’t mentioned.

[@latech7671]

@@EmissionGaming Well, yeah. But if it is not in the Monthly report at least then they really can't fault us for not knowing about it so I start with what they are telling us, then push everything back a bit since NOBODY can ever guess a date correctly in Development (especially with something so complex where everything build on everything else)

[@Roach606]

I think if CIG can prove that server meshing works and pyro is a success I think SC will be fun when that happens, and in two years it will be an amazing experience.

[@ProximusRegent]

Honesty is good👍📎

[@dirtygravy4172]

Ive been aware and checking in on this games development since 2014 and I'm starting to get really excited about its progression. This is a game that I've dreamed about since playing the original Wing Commander when I was a kid. I think it's time for me to build a new PC and get in because from what I can tell things are picking up momentum or at least they seem to be. Nice work on the video. Are there any good discord groups you would recommend that I can join to help catch me up on playing the game?

[@saladinbob]

I'm an original backer who has, for now at least, entirely given up on the game. If they want to bring back in people like me, and there's a _lot_ of disenchanted backers like me, as well as a wider audience SC is going to need far more content than it has now. They have spent over a decade and we have one complete and one incomplete system to show for it, which is neither good enough nor enough of a draw to bring people in: _"Play this Space Sim, it has one system for you to explore, and if you're lucky, in ten years we'll sell you an expansion pack with another."_ All the hype this game once had has evaporated. There needs to be a lot more than this before you drag people back in.

[@mbg4681]

Good thing they implemented that semi-procedural planet gen tech in 2018 to make planet building way faster. At this pace, only another 588 years until all 100 promised systems are in the game.

Star Citizen: 12 years in development AAAAAAA game with 500m+ development budget that changes the game director every 4 years If Rich manages to steer this ship to a commercial release as they say he will - that would only happen by cuts, cuts and more cuts. I suspect that also what happened on sq42. And we already see that in SC with things like salvage where even before they cut the claw they've already cut pretty much everything we knew about it. Star Citizen will release, maybe even in 2 years - but it won't be anything anyone ever expected

The only thing holding SC back atm is the servers so even 400 concurrent is a huge achievement, if its stable. Even the current content would make an awesome game with 400 players

I don't know what to believe after reading the letter, seeing is believing ,so if they can get 3.23 out (before fleet week) with it's intended features then you might win me over.

My biggest fear is a rug pull from the "high coporates" once SQ42 will be released. E.g : They let go barely everyone that worked on SQ42 hence nobody get transfered to SC development, they sell the tech they created and let SC state as it is after the milkers got milked. I will wait to see SQ42 release and then see how SC development goes before putting any more money in it.
