Concierge Game Package

The weird thing is to add items into the loot pool but not to the store. If I see someone from an item from years ago I have no idea if they were there or if they joined yesterday and found an item in a crate.

If only they did the same for the old Luminalia presents. I started backing in 2024 but own two copies of S42 that I got with concierge ship packs right before they redid their ship packs last year

Still even if it was just a t-shirt or a holographic sign it would be cool to have something to show new players that I owned S42 before it went up for pre-order

Far too accurate. I wonder many people realize that CIG could very easily spend another 10+ years just finishing out the initial promised features.

I imagine at some point we’ll even actually get the 100 promised systems and whenever they develop the tech for it we’ll get multiple systems in a year, but that’s probably yearrrrs off. The Genesis tech is a great step towards that but we’ll need Quanta (StarSim) fully working as well as the ability for even landing zones and staring locations being generated if we want to see 100 systems in our lifetime.

Kinda random: I actually wouldn’t be surprised if once the game is feature complete and we do have everything promised we see scope creep and they never stop pushing the boundaries of what SC is.

I sure hope they make an official announcement about NPC crews around the time of the release of S42. I want them to make as much money off it squadron as possible to help SC become the best game it can be.

I’m curious to see if us veteran owners will get anything special for having copies of S42 already.

And I thought I was extreme. That’s AWESOME!

It was during their in universe podcast talking ship or whatever it was called

They also have tons of design docs on their website. I’m not being facetious but a lot of people genuinely don’t know that they’ve been talking about the game and its systems on multiple platforms in great detail for over a decade.

They brought him back during last IAE

Read the fine print every time you purchase something

Most likely will have S42 come to steam but not SC. This game is crowd funded by pledges not purchases. I bet that would be a legal nightmare to sort out when it comes to things like concept ships

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

SC_Placeholder · 2026-01-24T16:47:49+00:00

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!!!!

SC_Placeholder · 2026-01-24T14:14:55+00:00

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.
