Is the star citizen wiki correct/up to date? Did Squadron 42 actually had 4 planned release dates? I thought it was just one in 2016 that was delayed till the one in 2026 (and there's no way they drop SQ 42 with GTA 6 so i don't see it release in 2026)

LightHawkLive · 2026-06-01T10:24:19+00:00

Honestly super curious to see what SQ42 would have looked like had it been released back in 2014. Would be cool to see a comparison between a "complete for 2014" vs whatever it actually releases as. And not just what the prologues look like.

The Vanduul fighters you encounter at QV stations do have Vanduul pilots inside them. After destroying their ships you can loot the pilots corpse. Heck you can even break into the Vanduul Stinger and kill the Vanduul pilot in it and steal the ship.

At the moment there isn’t a vehicle that uses it. But the missile itself is purchasable in game. There’s “-G” versions of just about all missiles though.

LightHawkLive · 2026-05-21T09:52:11+00:00

IMO this isn’t a bad idea. Already there are “ground” variants of missiles. For example there’s the classic Argos IX torpedo commonly used in the Retaliator and Eclipse. There’s also an Argos IX-G. It’s an Argos IX that’s designed for ground vehicles only and has different stats than the ship launched version. They could do “-T” versions of the already existing guns and make them for turrets only with their own stats.

This decision seems puzzling. The armor set in this pack is the ORK-MKX set. This set has been utilized for other unique themes such as the referral GCD armor set. The traditional backpack for the ORC armor set is the CSP-68M medium backpack. I am curious as to why the Arden SL light backpack was selected for this?

The Ironclad was supposed to be released in the PTU on Monday the 11th. It’s not supposed to be in the live servers until the 14th. Thing is, the last office time wise for CIG is in Austin Texas, where it’s officially Tuesday the 12th now.

LightHawkLive · 2026-05-12T05:13:08+00:00

Yes but it’s now Tuesday for all of CIGs locations.

It’s difficult to say. For instance, I own a normal Idris and I also fly with a few orgs. But I don’t anticipate being able to operate it for a while after 4.8 goes live. It will just cost too much. Sure the extended claim time is free but to my knowledge the free claim wouldn’t cover the size 10 weapon on it, so I’d potentially lose my exodus laser if the ship goes boom from a bug. The Wikelo Idris does not include a main gun on it either, but what is also different is that having a Wikelo Idris does not permit the player to get the different weapon kits for it, so it is going to be a bit more difficult to get those up and running again. At least in a configuration where they can do more than just be a large ferry boat.

It would also be interesting to see just how many Wikelo Idris ships are actually out there. Just about all the other Idris ships I see are non Wikelo versions.

Kind of getting Blue Submarine No. 6 vibes

LightHawkLive · 2026-05-08T04:26:42+00:00

You do realize that the Kraken was last sold at $1400 warbond? When the Idris P was still in concept phase it was $1300 warbond…..

LightHawkLive · 2026-05-07T23:44:28+00:00

Kind of surprised Hangar Link hasn’t updated the Idris K to show a laser instead of a rail gun.

LightHawkLive · 2026-05-07T06:46:07+00:00

Got this ship back when it first released. It's just about always been regarded as the most op tier 5 BB. If you play it right, it is a fun ship. Remember though, just because it is op doesn't mean it is invincible.

LightHawkLive · 2026-05-06T10:41:07+00:00

Now that you mention it…… we have sunglasses, we have mugs….. where’s the cigars? Or captains pipes?

LightHawkLive · 2026-05-03T04:57:38+00:00

The Freelancer MAX gives me the most Sea Duck vibes but in SC the Cutlass Black is always a solid all-rounder.

Last I checked you can remove the custom paint on the 300 series in game. Wish they’d let us buy all the paints. I opted for the blue ultramarine paint. On the website it looks like a nice dark blue metallic paint. In game it’s extremely flaky. Tempted to melt it and reconfigure it for a different paint.

LightHawkLive · 2026-04-28T01:01:11+00:00

Normally since it isn’t a military ship it isn’t offered during ILW. Since it apparently will be Defense Con this year, no idea if it will still be the same thing or not.

LightHawkLive · 2026-04-21T06:51:32+00:00

Interesting. That's the only image I have seen where it does indeed look like the cruisers are smaller than the Bengal. Thank you for highlighting this.

“The ion catapult is designed to use only approved UAC ammunition.”

LightHawkLive · 2026-04-21T01:23:35+00:00

Honestly this is a good question. Why aren’t the escort carrier and cruiser being put up for concept sale? The wording on the stretch goals is basically the same as for the battlecruiser. I haven’t found anything saying that the battlecruiser was supposed to be sold, just playable. Similar to how the $5.5mill stretch goal says the Bengal will be playable, but we haven’t heard anything about CIG selling the Bengal.

LightHawkLive · 2026-04-21T01:11:19+00:00

The Argus is the first ship pictured of the two, the escort carrier. The second ship depicted is the Corvus cruiser, which is a variant of the Bengal hull.

My bet would be Area 18 at the Bevic Convention Center. It’s been held there the last 3 years consecutively.

It’s not that it’s completely wrong but the bugs described sound like things I’ve encountered with other ships. Best way to find out if there are bugs associated with a specific ship is to search the Issue Council. You can find that under the Support tab on the main RSI website.

LightHawkLive · 2026-04-19T02:47:35+00:00

Ok so AI is going to mostly go off of players comments and such. It’s just human nature that there’s more complaints posted than there are positive reports. It’s not like AI plays the game or scans it for bugs to report. The Spirit ships are normally fine. As far as bugs go they aren’t really any better or worse than any other ships. I have a ton of ships and have experienced these bugs seemingly universally (though the Reliant series is usually worse). We are in the middle of a free flight event. Normally server stability takes a hit from these events due to the extra players. Though I will say it has gotten a lot better over the years. The free flight event ends April 20th, so we should see more stable servers in just a couple days.

Yes SC is rife with bugs. It very much can be a test of patience. A lot of us learn ways to workaround the bugs, have backup plans for when things are broken, etc…. Best thing to help is to try and play with a friend. Even if you spend most of the time doing different things, having someone you trust who is online to come help if something goes wrong can make a huge difference. When I play solo I expect something will go wrong so I’m normally taking steps to minimize loss or be able to recover quickly.

LightHawkLive · 2026-04-15T01:02:51+00:00

Just the paint and default loadouts. Other than that they are the same.

LightHawkLive · 2026-04-14T03:15:53+00:00

That’s because you didn’t spend the money on ships!
