How Is The Rest of This Year Looking with 3.20 and CitizenCon? [Q&A] (Ft. Croncy)

In this video, the hosts discuss various questions related to the upcoming releases in Star Citizen, such as version 3.20 and CitizenCon. They clarify that when they talk about being tired or excited about the game, it is not a directive for viewers to feel the same way. They mention that 3.20 may include features like bounty hunting and derelict settlements, as well as surprise ship releases. However, the new EVA mechanics and multi-tool charging are not expected in this release.

The hosts address concerns about the Fury Racer ship being a way to exploit a specific subset of the community. They explain that every ship serves as a funding model for the game, and while some ships may be perceived as overpowered initially, they are typically balanced in subsequent updates. The hosts also discuss the possibility of the separation of the replication layer, which is unlikely to happen in 3.20 and may not be implemented until full server meshing is achieved.

They touch upon issues of griefing during public events and express the need for in-game solutions like hiring security or improving scanning systems. The hosts stress the importance of persistent hangars and personal hangars for organizing events. Additionally, they share their thoughts on the possibility of episodic releases for Squadron 42, stating that it would depend on the gameplay hours and the execution of each episode. Finally, they dismiss any claims about the game being officially released, clarifying that it is still in an alpha state and will continue to be developed accordingly.
