StarCitizen:Inside Star Citizen

File:Inside star citizen illustration.jpg

Inside Star Citizen, shortened ISC, is a weekly StarCitizen:Star Citizen video show hosted by StarCitizen:Jared Huckaby which features previews of upcoming game features and mechanics, as well as in-depth interviews with [[StarCitizen::Category:Developers|developers]].

It is the replacement for the previous weekly show, StarCitizen:Around the Verse. The show takes a 3-week "hiatus" at the beginning of each quarter and isn't released over Christmas resulting in a yearly episode count of ~35. An episode is typically comprised of two main segments, which come in multiple categories and can vary by episode - StarCitizen:sprint reports, feature deep dives, dev team introductions and ship showcases.

It is often filmed in part on StarCitizen:The Only Constant set.
