Launch Sequence with Space Tomato

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. While the game is performing better now than it was 2 months ago, the company has a lot of progress to make up in the rest of 2026. I’m joined by TenPoundFortyTwo to dive deep into what’s currently wrong and right, and where the future may take us.Today’s Guests: tenpoundfortytwoYouTube: @tenpoundfortytwo  Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tenpoundfortytwoToC:00:00 Introductions07:00 Star Wars Zero Company15:15 How is Star Citizen Alpha 4.10?21:00 Is CIG’s Philosphy Changing?34:00 Star Citizen’s “Skeleton Crew”45:30 The Rest of 202655:00 Squadron 42 Versus The Competition01:10:00 The Current State of CIG01:25:00 Where Are The Squadron Features 01:40:00 Prediction Time (Squadron 42 Event Talk)
