I finally have a good video to show people when they ask why i've been following this game for so long
This and the star engine showcase from day 1
It was always so hard to explain… “yeah, it’s a big space game but it’s so much more than you can imagine… *proceeds to show the gameplay from Oli*”
Not that that’s bad but this is much more concise and authentic
This is legitimately one of the best game trailers (if you can call it that) I’ve ever seen, and I’m a picky asshole when it comes to this sort of thing.
SCAM Citizen: We Deliver MORE feature creep...MORE reason to delay...MORE time to MILK THE BRAINDEAD. ENJOY YOU SCAMMING ;)
--> SQ42 is NEVER, EVER releasing while The Braindead keep pumping money into this SCAM !!!
@@I_enjoy_some_things Me to. Butwhat bothers me is the fact that we dont see a, lets say 20min straight, mission gameplay. Its all bits and pieces and i love the style in wich this game goes but i really want to see a quest/mission from start to finish even if its still buggy. And yes, before someone asks i am still sceptical on when Squadron releases or if CIG let us hang for another eternity. Not saying that i am notimpressed from what i saw but all i would ask for is a single little mission playthrough just to see if the "feature complete" status is legit.
The standing ovation for Chris hit me right in the feels, it's written all over his face just how much that moment meant to him. Wholesome AF
That and server meshing coming in its first implementation. This is two major milestones for CIG but also backers, those tired of publishers who ware only about quick profit with no respects to gamers anymore since decades..
Remember guys: you have a motto now....
I HELD THE LINE.
@@arrclyde4325 So true. backer since 2013, never regret it before this very Citizecon, definitively happy to wait for another year for SQ42. Let's rephrase it if you don't mind: "WE HELD THE LINES!"
Oh the Netflix “To conquer Space -Shattered Dreams” $1 billion, 1 million suckers , Jpegs in hangers, promises , promises , promises.
No game to show. Lol
@@danielc9967 what promises? I mean i can understand that little kids don't know the difference between a plan and a promise. But obviously some adults can lack this too.
A game in active development that has no finished game to show except a playable alpha of the current state..... NO SHIT!!! 🤣
i was there, i was in LA, i saw chris cry, i was really close to cry aswell lol! it was amazing! i love this community! HOLD THE LINE
I was there too. I felt it. Super good.

was crazy being there in person yea
Its his life's work and his dream. His dream was also a dream of many. He have the opportunity to make it a reality and he want to deliver it as great as possible. It does make me emotional too seeing hardwork of the devs and everyone on cig to make this into reality.
I was there too, I noticed he was really close to crying. As was I, I'm glad I backed the project as of last year!
I was MEH about s42 but this got me pretty hyped. You can tell they're really passionate about this. If people still cry "scam" after this con have no idea what they're talking about
Yep, no one should give them the light of day, I sure don’t.
They all just come off as uneducated morons.
They never did have any idea what they're talking about.

The people who called it scam, probably are the same people who bought Starfield or give money for another Blizzard's game.
that's just a meme😂 Why so so angry
Chris is already to me on the same level as Kojima , he may be dorkier and less stoic but this man had that vision no one else has
He's endured a lot of ridicule as well. And yeah, he's made some poor decisions over 13 years, but he still pushed onward with his team and took steps to make sure this game hasn't died before it saw the light of day. He has my respect for that.
@@OneBiasedOpinionit still hasn’t seen the light of day though
Lol...

@@souldry They showed 60 ish seconds of demo ground combat, 20 ish seconds of ship combat and these dudes are fapping all over themselves like this isn't the first time Chris has said the game was feature complete and ready for "polishing". If they had demoed a complete side mission on ground and in air with a live player I would have had more faith. They basically showed very little and still can't even give a rough estimate for release. 😬
@@OneBiasedOpinion he made bad decision, BUT NOBODY would have done better choices.
23:25 I was also like why are these military trained personnel casually pointing the barrel straight at another persons face!
i noticed the old pointing his pistol at the player in the scene before the locked door that can't be hacked from here with the guy in the call
And calling a female officer sir about 20 times
Wow, what a journey of over a decade to get here. The fact that static server meshing is shown to work is industry-changing. Watching this journey since 2015 unfold and being a part of it in a small way has been amazing. The amount of pain, blood, sweat, and tears that Chris, the development teams, and the backers of this game have had to drudge through is epic. The fact that we the backers stuck with this project for so long is a miracle in itself. Now that the massive resources of SQ42 move over to focusing on the PU we will see the tech implementation accelerate. Chris is right about that; a ton of the tech is ready to be implemented into the game and in 24 months I honestly feel like they will nail down Dynamic server meshing and the game will explode into one of the greatest MMORPGs of all time.
Been holding the line since October 11th, 2012. There is still some work to do and I hope it has a compelling story and releases as polished as possible but wow did that video make me proud to be a backer. Seeing it all come together and that the potential is actually there for this game to be really something special was just incredible. This was the game I was hoping for when I backed 11 years ago.
Can't wait for the Switch port.
LMAO. I can wait for mobiles too!
I will be genuinely jaw-droppingly shocked if they can get this monster onto a mobile/portable platform. Even with polish and optimization, that is a LOT of game to fit onto something as small as a Switch or Steam Deck.
rockin that 12fps!
@@aluisiofsjrnah man , u have to wait for 2324 for mobile version
🤣
I liked the fact the npc's on the idris bridge were direcrly interaction with their screen and not just mindlesssly tapping a static screen
I backed for SQ42 at the beginning, This is what I have been waiting to see for so many years!

I don't care about that, only care about the PU
@@yous2244why comment then? lol
Olli, I'm happy you know your basic gun safety rules 😆
Though I was taught - never point a gun at anyone you dont intend to kill, even IF unloaded....
What they’ve done in S42 makes me excited for what’s to come in star citizen.
Such an amazing time at Citizencon this year. Them implementing the faces they made just hours before presenting this was incredible. Next year or two will be extremely exciting for Star Citizen. I will attend every Citizencon I possibly can after this. It will be hard for IAE to top this. Right?
Do you mean like the different player characters in the beginning? thanks! :)
@@MrRetobor not only that but the pilot demo in ruin station was completed 12 hours before the citizencon.
Yes, you both got what I was referring to spot on.
I'm gonna have to get my GPU upgraded for sq42. Glad I got a few years up my sleeve to do it. This game deserves to be played with all setting cranked up to 11.
30:50 is when he finally realized the audience believes in him for real this time. I myself don't see myself as an hardcore Star Citizen fan, but I've stayed in touch with their content since 2013 If I remember correctly. And there has been moments where I started losing hope. Cloud Imperium Games turned the tables around this spesific day that they are on their own and this is how a videogame should look like with no limits.
As an avionics technician, it's nice to see ground crews feeling alive, it's a small, but incredibly important detail.
Being in the crowd when this happened was was just special, everyone was so unbelievably hyped, they deserved the standing ovation
Mark Hamill: "The advantage here was Chris Roberts. I had such a good time working with him and not only he's a wizard of all things involving games, but he's a great director and a great friend. And really when he asked me, I didn't even have to read the script, I just jumped out. I really wanted to work with him again." - CZcams video: Mark Hamill on Star Citizen, Wing Commander and Star Wars. Channel: PC GAMER

@@deadly_mir setting my savings to over Drive for Sq 42
My first thought too. Ain't a chance in hell I'm flying in this game with a mouse and keyboard.
Ollie I just want to say, your stream coverage of this years Citizen Con was awesome. My friend and I really enjoyed watching the event with you - you made it much more entertaining and wholesome. Keep up the good work, and please for the love of god - GET SOME SLEEP!
I feel so weird these last two days, this feeling that the thing I've invariably believed in for the past 12 years is actually possible, and advanced well further than what I hoped. I'm now fully liberated of the doubt and self-questioning that every SC backer should have. I know they're making it happen now, there is no ambiguity left. They are crushing the video game industry, and even if they need 3 times the time they announced I'm confident and reassured. We didn't wait in vain, the 3y we spent in darkness were completely and utterly brutally justified in my eyes by the sheer amount of never seen before tech and polish they showed off at CitizenCon. Locations are starting to look as good as full fledged games, spaceships are soon ascending to the rank of full fledged game levels, the map could be it's own city building interface, and will be basically a better google maps, in a game. I just can't play another game after this, my mind is completely blown. Bright days ahead citizens o7
Hold the line, Citizen ! o7
This will be a new milestone in gaming, It will blow the rooftops off AAA gaming accomplishments! Well done to the entire team!
Im glad i wasnt the only one that thought manchester was going to be apart of sq42 for a second
Chris has a vision and he refuses to cut corners, I respect that. Squadron 42 will be something special and I'm so hyped for it. Their team deserved that standing ovation at the end !
Chris had a vision ...then it became a dream and he kept dreaming about more stuff he wanted to have ... Its just now that technology is catching up to those ideas.
Gave him my money in 2013 ... and its sad that I now have children that will be able to play on release date.
@@Itsallgoodtogo Why sad for that man? Backed since 2012, after 5 years of a bad taste, Im personally excited to finally see what they have shown this year. Your kids are going to enjoy it, with you.
@@NoodleAsianChris said everything shown during the Con would be coming by Q4 for next year (except S42). That includes the mesh servers. So take it with a grain of salt. But that is what he was willing to put a time frame on.
@@ItsallgoodtogoYou have little bros to play the game together with?
Where‘s the issue?
@@NoodleAsianPyro was mostly done a while ago. But the servers were already at their limit with 110 players and a while star system without the meshing tech
For real though Tobii makes SC feel like VR
CR doing History once more. THANK YOU Olli for sharing this moment with us.
28:27 that looked like the Pioneer, it's a huge ships that builds bases and space stations.
MY FAITH IN RSI HAS BEEN GREATLY RESTORED. God they could spend 2 more years polishing this and I'd be completely fine this looks amazing, and I can't wait to see the finished product. This is everything starfield wishes it could be and more. Bravo!
Starfield is all about little stories and talking to people. Squadron is all about the story of a UEE pilot fighting a threat. I don't really think you can compare the two. One is an open world hero that does what he wants, the other is a linear very defined pilot hero story, more like a movie.
@@dontanton7775 yeah but the fact that your progression in SQ42 translates to your PU character makes a world of difference and can make it comparable to Starfield. Plus, no loading screens still.
@@Barnes6083 @dontanton7775 my bad ill never share an opinion again
@@Barnes6083 Im more of a StarCitizen P.U. guy vs a Squadron 42 guy - but i see the absolute Genius behind them pushing so hard to make SQ42 a reality. Take starfield..after completing it you can play it again, wiser this time - or you can play new game+ and play it again more powerful. - After playing SQ42 the players will go right to the RSI site and buy a StarCitizen starter pack and have their minds blown all over again.
@@dontanton7775if that's what Stanfield is about they should get much better at making charactor models, like no joke, I can literally make better looking models and animations on ue5 than they do for a Aaa release
I feel that for the most of this year, my morale for star citizen was down, and even last citizen cons were not that great, those felt more like they were telling about the features and what they were working on, this citizen con feels different, like they are showing the progress and the work they had done for star citizen, and then this drops.
I think the most surprising thing for people in SQ42 (especially "reviewers"), will be that its not just a fun cool pew pew space cowboy shooter. It's emotional, its dealing with real people and their struggles through overwhelming odds. Not dissimilar to what made Baldur's Gate 3 so well recieved.
In Star Citizens whole history every "game journalist" is just focusing on the graphics, the bugs, the release date, the funding.
They will be utterly surprised by the feels-moments in the game, i think.
This is amazing. Being a person that just love these space games, this blew my mind and I had to constantly remind myself to close my mouth 🤣 As soon as you mentioned the game "Bad Company 2" I immediately went and play the game once again. All in all, this Star Citizen is getting better and better. I'm loving in. I appreciate your time and your content. ✌
Seeing chris in tears almost had me in tears, but i was too mundblown to comprehend what i just seen or what emotions i should feel.
Looks phenomenal. Hard to believe it’s all coming together.
They got a hell of bunch of Hollywood actors and actresses for this game.
FPS and space combat part way better than starfield.
The two things I need to worry about are optimisation and bugs.
Starfield sucks, at least we know how the gameplay of S42 will be... i'm not even worried with bugs, just with optimisation, in other words i hope that it doesn't launch like Cyberpunk, but i hope this would be like Cyberpunk in space.
Yep... In two days Chris Roberts discredited anyone who claimed Starfield was just as good or better than SC . He made Starfield look like a very cheap counterfit version of Squad 42 and he did it in such a humble way. 😎
Given that they're not giving us a release date yet, I'd say they're going to make VERY sure this game is optimized and as bug-free as reasonably possible before releasing it. They CANNOT afford for it to flop after all this time, effort, and money spent, or else Star Citizen is dead in the water.
@@MrGrownman455 if Chris win this time
Then the rumor about SC will all gone at once
@@efxnews4776 Agree
Starfield just like a mix of scrap and pearl.
But SQ42 not. It has modernised engine compare to Bethesda’s old shitty “Creation+2” one.
That precision aiming is 100% inspired by Starfield's subsystem target mode, it's sooooo similar, but more freeform and just better.
Star Citizen is like The Borg, it seeks out new code that contains useful or cool things, and just assimilates it and reforms it into something better.
Star Tomb Raider. Star Assassins Creed. Star Squad. Star Half-Life. Star DCS World. Star Starfield. God damn Chris.
We've had the sub system targeting for ages in SC ..they just added to it by developing this new zoomed 'precision mode' where you can visually aim at subitems and the gimbals target them instead of cycling the subcomponents for the gimbals target with a key or button press

Made with HARPA AI
Started to play after years of not, its awesome, I used to play Elite but this is another level.
Thats what we have been saying to ED players who like to call us SC fans idiots, among other things.
The trash talk thrown at this project and us players has been vile and laughable.
Ed is as good as e.d. is which is bad
So many great actors, and everything else looks utterly amazing!
One of the most grounbreaking things I've seen as far as I can rememeber. GTA3 and it's open world was one of the last times I can recall saying, "I can't believe I'll be able to play that". We need a game like this so badly.
Earlier on the showed a bunch of squares or different colors indicating vehicles released, vehicles in the backlog, and vehicles that will release by the end of the year. There were 12 ships that CIG is saying they will release by the end of the year. They also said all 3 Idris variants along with the Scythe, Glaive and Blade will release with Squadron 42. They also showed a video with a bunch of vehicle silhouettes of vehicles they are actively working and said those will release with in the next 12 months. In that video there was the Origin X1, a Ursa variants, the RSI Zeus, the Retaliator, and the RSI Polaris.
From that I inferred that SQ42 will be in our hands by Christmas 2023. They never said how long they have been polishing SQ42. They could have started polish phase last week. They may have been polishing it for the last 6 months. It looked pretty polished to me. They have the rest of the cast to finish updating, which may not take that long considering how fast they got the characters created by Shawn Tracy into the SQ42 demo. The player character looked like he needed updating in some of that too, but again that may have been old footage and may not matter with the updates to the character creator (see previous sentence).
Anyway, that is all I got. You can probably ignore me. All of my prior predictions about releases have been wrong.
Does the boat come with LTI?
The last game I specifically built a new PC for was Crysis and I feel I gotta do it again. This game looks like it deserves to be seen at its very best.
olli43 it was one of your videos that got me into this game . thank you so much for the content .
26:01 Graves, Voiced by John Rhys-Davies... who also did a character voice in another of Chris's games. He voiced Tobias in Freelancer... the game that Chris made before he started work on Star Citizen. Wouldn't surprise me if Graves was related to Tobias.
I never imagined it would look this good! I cannot wait to play this!
Someone has to make a cinematic longplay walkthrough of Squadron 42, cause I wanna warch that movie 🤣
I have to say, I was impressed with this CitCon. They presented what they’ve been working on and what their intentions are going forward. There was hardly any “what might be”, or “possibly”. They showed mostly working models or prototypes. And lastly, ships were, for the first time, the low point of the convention. It didn’t feel like a huge space ship sales pitch (but maybe an engine sales pitch). The only thing I wish we could have seen….. Tony Z….. what is happening with the 3rd pillar???
If Starfield is Skyrim in space, then this must be Cyberpunk 2077 in space (i'm even counting with tons of bugs in the launch too).
That’s pretty damn close lol
It's way more than Cyberpunk in space
@@Nitrox_909 i was joking buddy, by the way, i love Cyberpunk 2077 even when the game was a buggy mess.
I would love a Cyberpunk in space! With a multi-player Cyberpunk in space to look forward to!
i was in tears after a few mins XD , wish my dad was still there for this release , he was really excited about this game sadly he never got to see it , thank you for not giving up
The hilarious thing is that during this entire astonishing Citizencon, there were "First message" streaming into their livechat of people just regurgitating "Not impressive at all" and "500 million and still alpha omegalul". People are just stupid.
These 2 days proved beyond a shadow of a doubt what the game will become, and soon.
I dont think CR himself could have even dreamed of a better situation to be in right now.
What a wonderful video to watch! I do love the positivit of you, which is infectious! Glad to have found your content :) Thank you!
bought my first starter pack (bought a few ship after that cos why not) years ago just to have access to squadron 42. This got me a bit exited.
How does an escalator become a boat! 28:31 Ollie explain yourself 😆. Wow escalator, that's mad! How many games have truely working escalators, I'm sold!
I HELD THE LINE. 🎉
I held the line !
I would love to see Master Chief from Halo in Star Citizen. 😅 Master Chief and all the characters from Halo franchise created by Bungie and 343 Industries would fit perfectly in Star Citizen 🥺
sick cast: Gillian “Scully” Anderson, Gary “Zorg” Oldman, John “Gimli” Rhys-Davies, Mark “Luke Skywalker / Joker” Hamill, Mark “Septimus” Strong, Liam “Davos” Cunningham, Andy “Gollum” Serkis, Henry “Superman” Cavill, Ben “Krennic” Mendelsohn and Rhona “Kate Hedges” Mitra
lol spendings tens of millions so that chris roberts could hang with celebs. His ego, others money.
@@TheBelrick absolutely insanity that someone would back a guy to make two games simultaneously of two different genres.... wtf
watching this makes me proud to be a backer. Mind blown well done CIG!
I just wish they would add helm presence in 1st person. Such things as, if u have a huddle helm on the view would look like titan fall when youre in side a mech. Or the presence of when parts should be visible they would cross or be seen in view while wearing it. For a sim that would feel more immersive
I've never been too hyped about Star Citizen, but as an old Wing Commander fan, I'm very much looking forward to Squadron 42.
Invictus Launch Week is the Star Citizen lore version of a military recruiting / showcasing day. We won't see Squadron 42 for the next ILW, but maybe the 2025 ILW.
I like how it’s basically Wing Commander. What a series that was.
who could forget
Recently found your channel. I love your upbeat demeanor and sense of humor. 2104 backer so l already know the sob stories. I enjoy seeing the fun stuff. I can turn in the news for depressing info. 😂
Nice stuff in that showcase. And i am shure even a 4090 will scream for cooling in the highest resolution.
And for a releace date: I just hope they dont push it out to early. so for me it wouled be ok it it is for Citicen con in 2026 after Poleshing and optimazing.
Ollie ty for calling out the character's lack of muzzle awareness!
took me a long time to figure out that the persistent universe is not an actual game, but the game engine they use to create things like S42, and they let us use it to keep the project alive
puzzles reminded of half life 2 gameplay, that boat too. feels like they learnt from other games for SQ42. I hope it is a massive success.
The trailer video was likely made and cut a month before cit con so its likely feb 24 is possible as thats 6months to clean it up and get the optimization in
I remember 2016. Early 2025 sounds right.
I was there. Loved it.
22:49 cut to you somehow finding a corner or edge to catch your wing or nose of your ship to flip you around lol
Would love to see a xmas regulars but realistically it'll be citcon next year
24:46 now we just need CIG to make a Aliens game. really wish we could play a xenomorphe XD
It was a touching moment seeing CR get emotional. It’s easy to bash him and CIG, but this does show they’ve been working their arses off for a long time, and we at last get to see some of the output after 4yrs of radio silence. They brought this on themselves by not showing us more sooner, but at least now we can all agree that Squadron 42 looks spectacular, and potentially could be the greatest space game ever made. I hope they take the time needed to polish and clear bugs, so that the release is successful - they must not risk a Cyberpunk type launch, as they don’t have the rep of CDPR to weather such a storm.
Scratchin' my Wing Commander itch in a big way. Especially when Mark Hamill and John Rhys-Davies are on screen at the same time. EDIT: Damn, the music starting at 6:15 couldn't feel more like Wing Commander if it tried.
the funniest shit ever I swear is that one dude from CIG on multipe accounts who always says this... like what the fuck is even wing commander dude?? nobody has EVER heard of that
S42 is as much of a reason as the PU for why I pledged back in 2012. the single player campaign I might be more interested in in a more immediate sense. I loved the old wing commander, Start lancer and freelancer games. And the story and worldbuilding put into those games I largely credit to Chris, that is why I got myself a Conny way back then, as a "here is my money" type deal.
But lets be honest, with the amount of $$ the game CIG has collected there is no way to not get a great game as an end result. Bar an actual scam.
Chris is not a scammer though, a poor manager, perhaps. To much of a kid in a candy store when it comes to "can we do this" idea's in games. It is why he was removed from Freelancer, if he had been allowed to resume work on it, it would no doubt have been even better in the end.
So now here we are, nearing completion of the first part of a sci fi story with all the tropes over the top situations and silly exposition you can handle, and if you look at this type of stuff as an outside observer it may look silly and goofy but when playing that stuff it does give you the nice thrill ride it is meant to be.
Here is hoping the "Polish" phase does not take too long and the game releases early to mid next year.
The Gradius launch sequence made me tear up
I have not yet had the chance to watch everything. I actually only saw the last 2 live videos from you. Did Citizencon mention anything about brining in animals like the sand worms, or giant spiders, dogs, cats, monkeys whatever into the verse? I would love to see a planet/moon with some life on it that is more than just some AI in a bunker.
Bro why does this cinematic has such an amazing cast??
Omg! The way tbe physics act on the towed object... people are totally going to yeet tons of ships into things
I think we are entering a golden age for SC! 😊🚀
I have gotten 2 good videos to show people when they ask what is star citizen or squadron 42!!
The opener and now this one !
This might be my first positive comment about SC in about 2 years... but wow, I really want to play this. Looks like it might get pretty frame demanding at some points though... best get your GPU's on order.
Well done to everyone involved in this incredible project. I'm proud to stand with you all. - High Admiral Aelwyn Ascendant.
My guess is November 2024 for release. Might be optimistic but like Olli said, it looks close.
To think that this massive fleet nearly got defeated by the vanduul if it handt been for the retribution class super dreadnought arrival.
It is mind blowing... how is that even possible.. game technologists have overtaken time. Ten years have passed, there were scandals, disappointments and broken promises, but if what I saw in this video is true and soon we will see the promised content in Stra Citizen , then I can only say that the ten years were worth the wait and worth every euro I donated to support this project. I can't wait to see the faces of the people who said I'm an idiot, that this game is crap and a scam. And the faces of CZcamsrs who said that such game technologies are not possible today.
Star Citizen and Squadron 42 is a huge hit to crap AAA game studios, because finally people will see what games should be, how they should look and what technologies are possible and what Next Gen really means. I still laugh at the meme about StarField where Todd talks about the game and says it's a Next Gen pc game :D
I think CR should have a one-of-a-kind, custom MK-1 Zeus in the ‘verse.
Just to fly around your own creation, see other players and know that you made the whole universe (well, one star system).
I don't know how much money they made from it and how much they will earn. But due to the recent releases (90% made of sh*t) in the past years from video game industries, I want to make sure the development continues. To expand. In the PU or something else. I want to make sure that money would not be a problem to achieve this massive goal. Call me naive but anyway...
I am totally willing to pay 10 or 15€ a month to play... just like I did for Wow for soooo many years. Except Blizzard did us all wrong.... I did my part, I held the line, and i am willing to hold it as much as possible if they can give us THE game, we've all dreamed for. It's more than a game. Star Citizen has a true potentiel, a true base where producers / creators, pro or private, would be able to offer us not just a game, but maybe series, TV shows, Movies, fan made short films, books, etc... THIS is my dream of Star Citizen
Fly safe citizens o7
Thats the cool thing about SC. A $45 dollar game package can get you in, and you can buy the rest of your fleet in game with in game currency. If you want more - faster, or if you Want to buy more to help the project foreward - help yourself..but the $45 dollar starter pack is all you need to help hold the line.
@Olli43 - I'll fly my Javelin with you sir.
Can you guys believe that players actually have their own Javelins. Which is the second biggest capital ship in the game??? That big beast you see the characters talking on in the opening scene of this trailer??? 😮
Um...I can believe people spent money on them, but let's keep it real. They don't have them. It might be another 45 years before they're actually flyable in game. Clearly cleaning up the back log of ships isn't a priority since CIG has already made their money off non existent ships. With all the HUD, UI, star map, radar mapping updates, I can understand why those ships, Idris, Javelin, Merchantman, Kraken, Polaris, Perseus, Galaxy, Nautilus, etc aren't a priority...but the time they spent making the new variant of the Cutter, and all the Zeus variants could have and should have been spent making the ships people already paid for.
@@laurenfazenbaker9777they javelin has already got a huge amount of work done on it seeing as you’ll be aboard it in squadron and can even tour it already in game, same for the idris
@@dukeofhazard420 being a background prop and being a flyable ship are 2 different things. I can tour Stormwind Castle in World Of Warcraft too, but I can't " fly" it by sitting in the throne and becoming King of Stormwind.
There's a massive difference between scenery you can tour, and machinery you own and operate...and right now the Javelin is scenery you tour. Facts bro. There's this too...people didn't pay to be king of Stormwind. They did pay for their Javelins and Idris ships....LOTS of money. It's like buying a car and not getting the car or title, just getting the bill of sale because they didn't build the car you bought, they built motorcycles instead.
You wouldn't be defending Ferrari if you bought a Ferrari and all you got from the factory was Honda motorcycles. You'd take them to court for fraud and criminal theft by deception...which is a felony in America in many states.
It's no mistake the event is called CitizenCon because they're conning citizens all over the world out of money for products that neither exist or are deliverable.
I love that they got Mark Hamil to voice in this 🤣🤣
Q4 24, it fits with the comment about none of the features being gated off SQN42. Why would that be an issue if SQN42 was coming in the next few months?
I am an absolute sucker for bagpipes and drums. And also for space. So.. yeah, kinda levitated above my chair during first minutes. Looks great, but keep your hype in check boys, still have some years to wait.
This is genuinely the sixth time I'm watching the new Sq42 showcase.
I want it all right now! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Starengine - it seems - will enable his company to practically build every type of game, spanning genre, limits etc. good job building that with the money of the community. Hopefully it all pays off in the end.
this game is art with a heart
The only time I see myself playing with other players is aboard a player own Javelin. That will be fun
Mad man !! wtf . this is crazy !
Christmas 2024 is my prediction for SQ42
