I'm your humble host and space bartender here at the Astro Pub, your space bartender at the end of the universe, your professor on the Astro Historian, and your moderator here on the Captain's Table podcast.

We do these once a month, the first weekend of the month, so if you want to join us in the future, make sure you are joining us on Discord, the link's in the below, where you can join us on... to join your own conversations and discussions.

The problem is that a lot of times topics need to get changed or to be determined.

But For now, I'm going to bring folks up to talk a little bit about the new player experience.

Now, all of these call-in shows from going forward will have a question that's just, you know, how are you feeling about Star Citizen? Just kind of get a pulse on the community and what's going on.

And today, because it is Foundation Festival going on, which is dedicated to, like, the new players and new people coming to play the game, for old players to help move that along, I wanted to talk a little bit about what CIG is doing right, what CIG is failing at, and what CIG should do in the future.

Either what they're planning on doing in the future, if that works, or what they should do differently.

So I've got some different folks here to talk about this, including some folks who are old new.
