Methodology
To keep things simple we have chosen 104 features that we consider to be fundamental for our final vision of the game. It is highly unlikely that these features coincide with the final release so it is a list of what the author of this article would like to play.
The first 62 features will be applicable to both S42 and Star Citizen while the remaining 42 features will be for Star Citizen. Sometimes completion levels of features will be partial so we label the feature based on how close or near to complete it might be.

Edits to the tracked features
February 29 2024 - Space Station Construction - this is hinted at being planned. The Pioneer should be able to build small stations or asteroid bases? TBC
July 4 2023 - Space Station Construction marked as Not Planned. This was never a feature and should not have made it into this report. Players will be able to operate stations but not build them.
