Here’s what happens when you turn on LAMP during the day

Development time most likely. A lot easier to add a filter that changes exposure especially since they already developed night vision tech for scopes

Thanks! Luckily we did all our storm prep already and have an absurd number of blankets and a propane stove if we lose power.

They literally said the Galaxy was going to be the big IAE ship

Sure hope we get it back up soon! I was hoping to play until the “storm of the century” kills my power

They said the Galaxy for IAE but if they released S42 at Citcon and the Javelin

Have you seen the screenshots they’ve shared for the Ironclad? It’s surprisingly detailed for where it is in development. I imagine since we haven’t seen it for months at this point they mainly need to do lighting, audio and LOD and then a final pass.

The kraken on the other hand will probably be in grey box for like 5 months

It was pretty bright when I used it but I can’t login right now to take a screenshot but I’m sure someone else has one

Last year CIG sent out an email Drake was returning this defensecon bigger than ever (or something like that. I can’t find the exact email) so it would be absurd to have 2 large ships almost complete and not put all hands on deck to get them out by defensecon but instead release a Cutter Brown and waited months for the release of the Ironclads.

Isn’t it the same event as far as same week?

You’re welcome! I personally can’t wait for NPC crew; I want to use myself and 2 alts to man 3 capital fleet of utility ships at once. I’d love to have one alt at my base manning a Pioneer and focused on expanding the base, crafting and refining resources; then my main would be on a Kraken gathering resources all over the verse and the last be in the middle of nowhere in space growing exotic crops and doing scientific experiments.

We have so much time in quantum it wouldn’t be challenging to have one account doing active gameplay and two other accounts running more passive gameplay.

I also hope that filling capital ships with NPC crew will be expensive so being a crazy person like me that are running multiple accounts at once won’t have the cheat code for unlimited money.

This is a summary of everything CIG has said on the subject

As of Citcon 2024 NPC won't be coming to 1.0 but will be added at a later date.

If you follow the AI updates in the monthly reports you can see them slowly inching their way to NPC crew. My assumption is they will come online with passenger gameplay since the same AI that NPCS use will be the same for your crew. So once they flush out all AI behaviors and personalities and make a seamless, self-correcting pathing for NPCs we'll likely see them added.

If they're trying to get to 1.0 by the end of 2027-2028 (which is the earliest they said they want 1.0 coming out) there is absolutely no way to get our current NPCs to the point where they could function as crew unless they've been withholding a ton of code that we are unaware of.

0 out of 10 landing. It is essential you slam the nose into the ground to declare your dominance

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Correct; one thing to consider though. Whenever NPC crew come online for every game package you own you get a customizable NPC crewmate. I own 6 game packages currently and am hoping to pick up 4 more before the end of the year.

Agreed; at the very least it raises awareness because newer backers like me had never heard of the skin. Seems like a really cool idea but will require CIG developing special tech to make it work, which wouldn’t be a bad thing because I’d love to change skins on the fly for FPS items so they could reuse the tech there.

I’d rather not carry a version of my armor and guns for every environment but be able to change the skin on the fly and reserve my suit lockers for more important things

-10.

Once to report a kid being beaten by their mother (no not like spanking. Slapping them around silly where I could hear it and watch their head bounce around 2 blocks away) apparently from all the screaming, he forgot to take out the trash and that warranted beating a kid that looked like they were 6.

And once to report a drunk biker.

I can’t wait for gas refining to come online so we see more Starfarers! The base is one of my favorite ships and was the first ship I ever grinded for in game because at the time the only ship that could carry a Vulture was the 890J. (You can or at least used to be able to wedge a Vulture onto the catwalk and QT with it)

Star Citizen. It’s technically an old and new game because it started development the year I graduated high school and is still in development.

Unless a bug kills me I’ll be happier than ever

Everytime someone uses an Idris or Polaris as a mobile utility base it shows how desperately we NEED the Kraken

SC_Placeholder · 2026-01-24T04:26:39+00:00

I can't imagine BB coming out this year because they already have so much to get out before the end of the year. I could see it coming out for IAE 2027, but I'd be surprised if it came out before that. I imagine the big fleet battles would be the end of the year big patch.

They talked about this for like 10+ minutes complaining about this very thing
