  • 100 episodes and going strong!!!

    Even though Space Tomato just completed his 100th episode, I consider him a "newish" member to the podcasting space. And so far, I'm very impressed with his content. He provides engaging and professional analysis on Star Citizen. A game most consider a space sim, but could also be characterized as a new, evolving technology for gaming. His shows are mature, entertaining and the production quality is excellent. Congratulations...

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 259 | Alpha 4.8, Squadron 42 Release Prep, & More Crafting | Star Citizen Latest News
Q: How important will social tools be for enjoying fleet battles and group content?
Very important; without proper social tooling and instancing, fleet battles will feel hollow for solo players or smaller orgs, reducing accessibility and player retention for large-scale PvE events.
EP 259 | Alpha 4.8, Squadron 42 Release Prep, & More Crafting | Star Citizen Latest News
Q: Will Squadron 42 release this year, and how might that affect pricing and updates?
They seem to believe a Squadron 42 release is likely within the year, and pricing decisions (including potential higher base prices and special editions for backers) appear tied to strategic marketing rather than only development milestones.
EP 259 | Alpha 4.8, Squadron 42 Release Prep, & More Crafting | Star Citizen Latest News
Q: What do you think is the biggest missing link in 4.8 crafting and inventory updates?
The biggest gap is the integration of mining, refining, and manufacturing into a cohesive loop with meaningful progression, instead of separate islands of activity that don't clearly connect to end-game gear or ship performance.
EP 250 - Star Citizen's New Inventory Is Good | Is It Good Enough For a Loot Goblin?
Q: What do you think the game needs for players to feel more natural supply and demand to start trading things?
I definitely think crafting, but having quality attached to it is a big step in the right direction for a reason.
EP 238 |Every New & Upcoming Ship in Star Citizen We Currently Know Of (2025 & 2026)
Q: Are you expecting any significant changes in the future of ship design?
I think that tech developments like engineering will be key to changing how large ships operate.
