Summary
Did one ship really bring down Star Citizen, or did the Idris simply expose a much larger problem? In Episode 151, we break down CIG's most transparent Tech Talk yet, discuss why Star Citizen's validation process may be struggling to keep pace with development, examine server crashes, desync, and the future of Alpha 4.9, revisit the state of Squadron 42, explore Alien Week 2956 and the new Gatac Railen and Tyilui, and discuss why instancing could fundamentally reshape future gameplay.
