So it lasted ~15 min or so, given a bit of a late start, before going down. New record?! =P

 

[Zabojnik]

Going well so far, lol.

 

[Tommyhawk]

Going well so far, lol.

Good old CIG tradition!

 

[Danthrax]

I don't know why they keep trying to do livestreams when it's a clusterfuck every time.

The Mustang commercial was cool, though a bit short.

 

[Danthrax]

Sandi, in the background: "The fuck is going on?" hahaha

North Korea hacking CIG

 

[Zabojnik]

Woah, redesigned website??

Danthrax on suicide watch.

 

[mercenar1e]

[Danthrax]

Squadron 42 sounds like StarFox Assault :lol

STOP REDOING EVERYTHING

JUST MAKE NEW STUFF

RAAAAAADFSDHFGKLSDF;LJE

 

[Zabojnik]

Everything was crash.

 

[kutthoat5150]

Escort Carrier, around 700m long. More pics here https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/14393-Introducing-The-Pegasus-Escort-Carrier

 

[Zabojnik]

DirectX 12 can't come soon enough.

 

[Tommyhawk]

New Idris pic:

 

[Danthrax]

OMG 200 more Idrises on sale split into four allotments. People losing their minds, I'm sure


[edit] That pic ^^^ is in-engine, too, they said in the livestream

 

[Danthrax]

New lobby looks great. Haloish. I like the little bug you get for game invites, too.

 

[RK9039]

I can't watch right now because this laptop is garbage but did he just say he's going to try the Avenger in game?

New lobby looks awesome.

 

[Danthrax]

Dat Avenger. Can't wait to fly mine.

Yes. He's flying "an older build" of the Avenger. Looks sweet. Good computer voice, too.

 

[raphier]

It's too fast, wow I have never played a space shooter before, but if this is any indication of what's to come, that's all to it there is?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Dat Avenger. Can't wait to fly mine

Brother I need pics.

This is a fairly good example of what a 1 vs. 1 dogfighting scenario looks like in a modern space sim.

Daaamn, I'm going to watch this later. I've been waiting for the Avenger.

 

[Starviper]

The bits of the ship breaking apart.. So cool looking.

 

[Danthrax]

Those sound effects have some bass

It's too fast, wow I have never played a space shooter before, but if this is any indication of what's to come, that's all to it there is?

That's like asking if an online deathmatch is all there is to Grand Theft Auto

 

[Danthrax]

Brother I need pics.

Took quick screenshots. Didn't edit, so enjoy seeing my open tabs and programs and shit, heh

(He just blew up there)

 

[Zabojnik]

Can't wait to see all those environments. The failing mining location sounds awesome.

 

[Danthrax]

Yeah, I like all this persistent universe information. So we get ArcCorp and Terra Prime first, then the Nyx System (with that mining asteroid base) next. Nyx isn't on any of the makeshift maps, although I wonder if it's the system that's one jump from Terra whose name couldn't be identified in any videos.


[edit] Mariana and Odyssa are the other two of the first five landouts, they just said. Mariana is an abandoned ship construction yard with half-finished hulls of ships and empty storefronts. The PU director forgot to give details on Odyssa.

 

[Danthrax]

This description of simulating planets' wealth, crime, population and job rate in relation to how nice or crappy the locations look sounds like SimCity.

If anyone is having problems with the stream, BadNewsBaron is mirroring it with quality options enabled.

 

[Dictator93]

I am just tuning in now guys, what did I miss?

 

[Danthrax]

I am just tuning in now guys, what did I miss?

Mustang commercial (it was short), new screenshots of the Idris frigate and the Pegasus escort carrier, dogfight between the Santa Monica and Manchester offices (Chris Roberts flew an Avenger, which is a tank), and the Austin team prattled on for a while about persistent universe things they're working on.

Thank you. This is much better.

 

[Zabojnik]

CIG Santa Monica are a bunch of m8s. <3

 

[RK9039]

Illfonic time.

 

[Zabojnik]

Chris walks in, connection with Illfonic dies.

It was him all along.

 

[Daedardus]

This.

 

[Zabojnik]

This.

I'm not saying they should made CR one of your wingmen in SQ42, but they totally should.

"Wingman, attack target."

"This is bullshit!"

 

[RK9039]

Can everyone pull out a gun when you eject right now in AC?

Man I hate the look of the Constellation. It's like lumps of metal piled on top of lumps of metal. (Those little models on the desk reminded me of this.)




Not right now, but I guess it'll be in the Version 1.0 patch.

Ah, cool.

That's funny, I'm actually a big fan of the Connie's (and Aurora's) look because I feel many of the other ships look too clean and neat like miniatures/models - and the RSI trademark complexity is the opposite of that.

 

[RK9039]

Just saw the Mustang advert...

 

[Dictator93]

could you link it per chance?

 

[Zabojnik]

THX for the responses guys.

edit: short, but fanastically made. Jeez

 

[Danthrax]

Haha, Roberts just referenced Ubisoft and AC:Unity while discussing how Star Citizen's iterative and community-focused release method is better.

 

[mercenar1e]

its time to milk the cow.

Don't hate. Embrace the love, m8.
