  • this will also count as the first episode
  • in order to alpha test other episodes/content, backers will have to pay
  • SQ42 is "tied deeply" into SC techwise/network
  • currently no plans for completely offline play
  • ships, skins and other cash shop items cross over game modes
  • "original vision" (internally called OV or CV?) candidate sometime in 2019 with promised sq42 feature list

and in wtf news

SQ42 is cancelled. It has become a series of single player missions folded directly into Star Citizen. This acts as the tutorial and early character creation. Any other news about Squadron 42 is fake or uninformed. This change has been considered since late-2015 and the final decision was made mid-2016.

and since this is all p dire have some more leaks from 100% confirmed sources
  • 3.0 will release sometime in late Feb 2017
  • all 3 episodes of SQ42 will be out before citcon
  • 4.0 is coming along very well, I've played it several times and its amazing

I find this all very believable. Especially the part about backers having to pay even more money to alpha test the software for them.

Can't be. Some backers have already paid for two games. Including one of the games as the tutorial for the other is such a slam dunk case that every lawyer on earth would rocket into the stratosphere through the sheer amount of jizz they'd be uncontrollably spewing in anticipation of the case. Not even CIG is that dumb.

The greatest part is that if it is true and SQ42 as a standalone game thing is canceled then they don't have to release anything until the full Star Citizen multiplayer persistent universe is completed, which will be Any Day Now.

You see, this is a good thing because it will give Chris Roberts the time he needs to polish up the singleplayer portion of the game and story to be even greater.

I used to think statements like this were over exaggerating alot, then I ran into a Star Citizen thread on another forum about technology (but not necessarily games) and I just checked and there's a guy completely seriously, 100% un-ironically, saying that Star Marine as it stands could be a full fledged $60 game in it's own right.

Looking forward to them announcing the thing that made all the idiots irrationally furious about E:D is coming to Star Citizen - although given their past behaviour, I imagine they'll just lie and say it's "coming soon" then never release it. Star Citizen fans are such credulous idiots.

Pretty sure the original, like real original pitch, was that SQ42 was essentially a prelude to the Star Citizen MMO anyway, I rest my case.....

If CIG had actually had people capable of setting up performance capture rigs it might have been neat.

And if they had done the performance capture after nailing down models and design specifications.

Also if they were in a good game with a decent script written by someone with talent.
