The project, led by Cloud Imperium Games and Chris Roberts, continues to face criticism and skepticism over its prolonged development and expensive virtual items.

Cloud Imperium Games CEO Chris Roberts indicates that the long-awaited 1.0 release of Star Citizen may be on the horizon, with recent tech milestones and the completion of Squadron 42 contributing to the progress. The achievement of seamless player travel between star systems on different servers marks a significant step towards the MMO's 1.0 release, enabled by the "server meshing" technology. The company is now focused on launching server meshing in Star Citizen Alpha 4.0 and plans to deliver large updates and new features as they push towards the 1.0 goal. Roberts has relocated to Austin to be closer to development teams, and the company is reorganizing as it charges full steam ahead towards the game's finish line.
