No one who has an interest in this game is excited about the expansion... but at the same time, everyone is. And no, this isn't a matter of just looking at two opposing community narratives; this is looking...

For the past several weeks, Star Citizen has been talking up the features of its upcoming alpha 3.23, often calling it one of the sandbox's largest content updates yet.
