Part of the
Roberts Space Industries Roundup we mentioned
last night includes word that as of
February 14th,
Squadron 42 and
Star Citizen will become two
separate packages (thanks Cutter). At that time Squadron 42 will become a
standalone game or an optional add on for Star Citizen, a plan that's apparently
old news to backers of the space combat game(s). Here's word:
At the
December livestream, we announced that Squadron 42 and Star Citizen will be
split into two separate packages in the near future. To update on this: the
split will occur on February 14th. Squadron 42 will be available as either a
stand alone game or an optional addon for Star Citizen rather than be included
by default. If you want to lock in both games for the lowest possible price,
consider pledging before this deadline. You can learn more about Squadron 42,
our thrilling single-player adventure,

Monday, saying: "The new DLC is arriving March 2016, we'll have more details on
Monday including a recap of the new DLC info and more." Thanks

Why do modern keyboards still have a Scroll Lock? And if you can manage an
answer to that, I think I can still win by following up by asking if that's so
important that we actually need a light to remind us which way this is toggled?
It's like vestigial hardware.
