It turns out Squadron 42 is NOT vaporwave.

that is a very bold statement. I would wait until release before I make any conclusions.

I must admit that the first seconds of the trailer are looking beautiful but the gameplay then suffers from the same issues (strange controls and a horrendous framerate) of the base game.

After all this time and for a singleplayergame without any server issues, this is quite alarming.

Yeah in theory this sounds awesome. But given the shoddy state of the multiplayer alpha, I wonder how/when this will release.

Still, if they actually bring this out in a year or so, I would definitely check it out (given 1-2 years for bugfixes, learning from CP2077).

It's an absolute joke that fans of SC say 'when you get a clear server it runs perfect', because it doesn't. I've been in a brand new, freshly populating, rebooted server. The game runs like ass, the bugs are still everywhere. it's just a badly made game and the design ethos is "we added more time wasting for realism!" (when they're pretending not to just be ship salesmen)

Also, haven't they STILL not decided on the final flight model for the game?
