Star Citizen always has its ups and downs, and this year is no differrent, but more people than normal are simply pulling back for various reasons.

Star Citizen has a lot of problems, many of them old. And many players have spent years advocating for change, but sometimes we let that effort take over our time, our focus, and ultimately our life.

Star Citizen’s 4.10 implementation of instancing is supposed to be the next step in server meshing, dubbed “Quasi-Dynamic” Meshing. But from early signs, the results are mixed. I’m joined by network engineer and Youtuber Grolo to discuss this first addition of instancing to gameplay, and if it means Star Citizen as it has always been dreamed of is simply not going to happen.

Star Citizen has taken a month-long pause to stabilize and get its bearings.

The RSI Hermes has killed the RSI Taurus; cargo hauling can make you millions in an hour, and piracy is kinda dead with the state of commodity trading in the game.
