What's your pitch for a perfect mission? The couch is humbled as we welcome everyone's granny,  ⁨@Granny_Q⁩  As a woman of high culture Granny_Q pinpoints exactly what Star Citizen needs to succeed. Don't be shy like our callers, no one here bites.

#starcitizen

Everyone is bracing for disappointment and let down. Thankfully there is one place you can go to not be let down. Somewhere all your dreams will come true! This week the couch welcomes Star Citizen bar tender and keeper of golden showers ‪@TheAstroPubLive‬! Also fast travel is bad.

The couch needs help as usual. This weeks question; What if DefenseCon BLOWS? IF? We all know it’ll blow a hole in many a wallet! We talk gankers, new ships, holding John Crew hostage, and... stonks?Like, subscribe, and leave your comments below.

New ships? meh. Drake DefenseCon? Who cares? Power sliding?! 🌭 Hot Dog 🌭

We welcome waytoogeeky host of CitizenCast to the couch. DukeLetoII is still in prison for turtle smuggling and guilds are officially official CIG lore and doctrine. Join the gang on the couch as we discuss this week’s topic “Forget new ships, can I power-slide?!”

Check out CitizenCast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/4KptUuP9d3IkKFIpDXgYAz?si=d7ce707c3d1e41b1

JarJarJabroni and DukeletoII have been arrested for 🐢 turtle smuggling. 🤷‍♂️ The show must go on! Join Cosmic_Hobo and Lord-Anubis for an incredibly divisive and polarizing midseason musical episode! Crafting is game-changing, Squadron 42 is silent, and convention season is upon us! So where do we go from here?

#starcitizen

It must be time to tune in, call, or point fingers at the Open Comms crew. This week we’re talking about “quality of life wish list,” and controller support. There must be a console refugee joining in? We read listener comments, talk Ray Romano in Squadron 42, and a host of other nonsense.

#starcitizen

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday. We’ve been graced with a new patch, 4.7.1, and of course a ship and gear sale! Time to squeeze on the couch and talk some SC with the gang. This week’s topic, “Is industry heading in the right direction?” If you can make it through your hundreds of pages of quality ore and gems you can make it through this show. #starcitizen

A lot of shows come back. Star Trek Picard, Scrubs, Boondock Saints, and they aren't always well received. The couch talks about the return of Firefly and compares it to other second comings.

Listen nerds, it’s time once again to join the gang on the couch for Star Citizen talk. Complain? Celebrate? No one cares. Just play the game. Nerds.

Only slightly less prepared than average, the couch jumps on the new Aurora MK2 as everyone tries to join the servers at the same time. Star Citizen Patch 4.7 look very promising, as soon as we can get in!#starcitizen

A Star Citizen call-in show where we discuss PvP space combat changes, New Patch 4.7, the Halo 2 lobby, why reddit hates us, and we read comments from listeners. With special guest  @LensNation ! Check out Lens Nation's channels:https://www.youtube.com/@LensNation

Well this is it. Patch day. It's broken. The best of the next Patch 4.09 is delayed until 4.10. Not much news to discuss, so Wikkett spoils the game.

#starcitizen

This one's for the space dads out there! Are you're kids monsters? Do they lack attention span? Are the brilliant? Too intelligent for a room of old millennials? Whatever the case, the question remains; Can I play Star Citizen with my kids?

This is part one of a two-part episode. Enjoy!

#starcitizen

Star Citizen has not been resting in carbonite. Surprises like radar, and foreseen crafting gameplay are all coming together. Could this spring be the very best for CIG, or will this promise fall flat in the mud?

Quasi Grazers, Marok, Stormwal, Kopion and Flatcats! Daddy JarJarJabroni is still away and the “animals” have control of the house. This week’s topic: Does Star Citizen have enough animals? Not sure about SC but the couch is full of unruly beasts. Like, subscribe and leave your comments below to help us tame the menagerie!

Well, well, well. It’s Wednesday once again. Daddy JarJarJabroni is away and the inmates have full control over the asylum! Listen in as we try to color within the lines. This week we’re talking Star Citizen crafting. Tune in, call in, support your favorite Star Citizen call-in show!

Tonight's #starcitizen topic: Does CIG know what makes their game fun? 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃Come support the homies as they struggle to answer simple questions and understand the most basic concepts. Don't miss your opportunity to save a sinking ship, tell us why we're wrong in the comments!

Here we go again. Evocati avocados spill the beans on the new inventory system. Is it enough to handle our goodies or will we see ourselves back to the drawing board? Leave your comments and let these fools know why they're wrong about everything.

Season 2 of Open Comms Radio kicks off tonight. TWENTY TWENTY SIX! Tune in and forget Spectrum. Remember these folks need a real dose of reality no one knows what they're talking about. Help keep it on the rails and set the record strait. Come tell us what's wrong or wrong. #starcitizen

Cheaters are getting more sophisticated. No, we're not talking about rock concerts, we're talking about players using multiple computers to get around security systems of our favorite video games. A very good deep dive by our very own Wikkett.Will cheaters ruin Star Citizen? #starcitizen

This clip from our end-of-year show askes the couch if Squadron 42 will release in 2026. Be sure to take the poll to let us know what you think!

Here we go again. Star Citizen's year of stability has come to an end and the couch reflects on where we've been. Hathor, the Woof, worms, sneks, and dare we mention Resource Drive?

Prepare for an underinformed, emotional safe-space coaster of epic proportions on Open Comms Radio Year-End Super Superb All-the-time but only 2025 Spectacular.

Cheers.

We welcome window enthusiast @SilentRcher⁩  to talk us up about windows. With #starcitizen patch 4.5 swiftly released, the couch ponders the future of transparency.

Here we go again. Underhydrated and underinformed, these fools make their opinions know to airwaves from Nyx to Stanton. PTU 4.5 is LIVE and engineering is here. The couch talks bars, soft death, disabling ships, love, overpriced RAM and a whole mess of things they are certainly not qualified for.

Correct these fools, let them what you think in the comments. Trust me they crave the attention and read every single one. Unbelievable.

It's time once again for a group of mostly uninformed gamers to talk Star Citizen. We're talking PTU 4.5 and the copium must flow. Don't miss this next installment of the least paid attention to space game podcast in the 'Verse.

Engineering is finally here. Components break, ballistics are back, and fire is everywhere. Looks like we need a crew.

The couch is looking for some much needed wisdom and substance before this goes off the rails.

#StarCitizen

A very special European spectacular with a new guest and a voice we haven't heard in a long time.

Here we go again. Bunch of uninformed doom scrollers disseminating misinformation and sometimes straight up lies. Don't let them corrupt the innocent free flying minds of new citizens in 'verse. Tune in, comment and add some truth to the conversation.#starcitizen

Short and sweet today talking about Levski. A good 'ol midweek chat with some insights and history of our favorite socialist landscape in Star Citizen.

NYX, it means nothing. CitizenCon Direct 2955 HYPE baby. #starcitizen The views and opinions expressed in this dope hype video do not reflect those of Cloud Imperium Games or its subsidiaries. Rather, these are the unhinged rantings of mad men.

CitizenCon 2955 is fast approaching and with it the dream of Star Citizen 1.0. This week the couch talks about their hopes and dreams for 1.0 and definitely, certainly, earnestly, remains on topic.
