Players will remember you long after you're gone.

Star Citizen's alpha release was updated to version 3.18. With 3.18 comes a new persistence feature that will allow you to essentially leave your mark in the game world long after you disconnect.

Star Citizen Alpha 3.18 is being called "Lasting Legacies" which probably has a lot to do with this new persistence system. Also included in this update is the new salvage career path and physicalized cargo. This update...

This isn't going over well with fans.

Cloud Imperium Games has been working on developing Star Citizen for well over a decade now. It still is not finished. It's more of a game than it once was, but it's nowhere near finished. According to their own funding tracker, the team has already amassed over $457 million (USD) in funding. Again, the game is still not finished yet.

The latest developer update from Cloud Imperium Games maybe shines a little light as to why the game...

Alpha release 3.17 expands economic and career opportunities.

Cloud Imperium Games released the 3.17 update for Star Citizen over the weekend. The game is still very much in alpha, but it's getting somewhere. It's getting there slowly, very slowly, but it's getting there.

The alpha 3.17 update, codenamed "Fueling Fortunes," adds in new ways for players to earn wealth and further their career opportunities. There are also apparently "new locations to explore,...

Fans have been getting more and more upset over features getting delayed.

With over a decade of development and over $434,000,000 in funding, Star Citizen still isn't a finished product. Its single player component, Squadron 42? Nowhere to be found. The fans? Starting to get a little irate.

For real this time.

Back in the far off time of late December 2020, Cloud Imperium Games said that they were totally going to do their first ever live event in Star Citizen. Well, that didn't happen. It was delayed because it's Star Citizen and delays are just expected for everything. You know it, I know it, my pets know it.

Fortunately, the first ever dynamic event launches today in Star Citizen. It only took a bit over a month to come to fruition, but players can now...

No beta, no alpha, no end in sight.

It seems as though another year will pass without so much as a new glimpse at Squadron 42, the single player component for Star Citizen from Cloud Imperium Games. CIG showed off its revised roadmap last week and with it came a full deletion of any Squadron 42 beta.

Chris Roberts, the founder of CIG and Star Citizen creator, told donators that they shouldn't expect to see a release date for the game anytime soon. In fact, the last time...
