00:01:02
and our editor he puts together all the videos you see each and every week Mr Justin Chambers and of course the man behind the camera Tom Hennessy Tom get in get out of focus in front of him There's Tom fair enough he's actually got to go film on some 10 for the Chairman's here so uh that's why we're starting to pretends for the chairman of support and passing through the background is a piece of toast is there a chair for you toast where'd you go he said he'd be back where did Tesco all right so if you're just joining us for the first time uh reverse the verse is the cloud Imperium games Community teams weekly informal live stream with the fans informal but we have this fancy panel now we do have this fancy panel now I don't know how long it's going to last at least through the holiday live
00:01:49
stream I think and then I think something else has to go here just keep it together soon to the holidays keep it keep it together through the holidays Lando just keep it together through the holidays uh so yeah so every week we start off with kind of a week in review recap of what we've done a reversing of the verse if you will that's a background though because when we originally get that the name was Will Lewis came up with his name way back when and uh I love will but I have no idea we still don't know but we love it it's become our thing I was there I was making it work I know it's a background you're inventing the acronym after we're already calling it how wow I tried tell them what you did this week Ben um in case you did not see our subscriber live stream earlier in the week we're in
00:02:37
a new place um this is part of the set of we were setting up our set at uh what we're calling uh stage 42. uh actual sets are being built behind us you can't see them and they're gonna be cool in fact one of them already is cool uh but we we set up this kind of temporary uh panel show look we're trying to figure it out right now it's kind of weird not having the immediate feedback seeing ourselves and seeing the chat but uh hopefully it's cool yes there's going to be a little bit of an echo it's a very large room we haven't filled it with stuff yet working with what we got guys and we're not supposed to bang the table keep going okay oh try it just try not to hit the table with your hands there
00:03:29
we go that's left over from the subscriber live stream yes I feel like why couldn't you just tell us so I do have to write a sign ature I thought this was normal you mean like what you're doing right now oh my God that was a more formal experience be curious if anybody could actually hear Thomas Tennessee from over there I I have a very loud voice I wouldn't surprise [Music] you also don't crumple paper that's another what else we do this week Ben uh let's work on the monthly report yes monthly report will be out later today unless uh
00:04:17
you know somebody takes a look at it this is how we can't say that but I know it should be out later today um we've got some uh subscriber Flair it's being attributed distributed attributed you're taking my I'm taking my stuff for the week that I was gonna talk about Segway I'm saying because we're telling people we didn't start season wise we always do this but you're taking all my subscriber stuff be passing it to you okay so what is the subscriber item uh so this one's subscriber Flair is the takuatsu Aurora Ln model uh they I believe they have been attributed this morning so you should have them already if you're a subscriber if you subscribe over the weekend as usual you'll get one on Monday so if you want that Ln model pick up a subscription I love Taco at soup what else can you do our uh flare ship model okay
00:05:19
I think we should have theme songs for everything why don't we have a theme song for reverse diverse I agree I feel like we we sing We Make Up songs a lot at homes I know so we should have like theme song yeah maybe somebody out there can come up with a great reverse reverse theme song yes uh but to continue to continue wait wait it's Lando and the band this is what happens when you came mine is a genius the other is Ben this is what happens when you can't see immediate feedback yes sure people out there like no no don't do that stop betting around and we don't know I love the people I work with I do too with six exceptions with the exception of those in this
00:06:10
table would you this weekend Justin this week Justin this week um I'm actually editing a lot of videos because I'm going away for the holiday so we're trying to Rack them up so we can have them prepped and ready to go so you guys can still receive content while we're gone um but just you know reverse the verse bug Smashers 10 for the chairman all those great shows that you guys love watching that's what I did and then we had the Time Warner wait do they they wait they do know that because it was in Sandy's Facebook Time Warner was here they were filming you know how we work they're gonna do like a okay one thing that's really funny right now that you guys can't see is uh so the wall ahead of us is this big
00:06:58
white uh it's like half of a skater thing so it it's a ram yeah it's like a ramp it arcs upwards psych and to get to the camera Hennessy kind of has to walk up the wall vertically um and he just kind of slid down it just then almost into the camera almost into the expensive camera Time Warner was here they they shot a bunch of footage of how we work is we use time runner business class internet Hardware business class internet is great and we love it um they wanted to see what the hell we do with all the band what the heck we do with all the bandwidth we uh spend here so we may be in a Time Warner commercial in the future so Tom and I had to do some ad living I was expecting an Oscar performance from him but he left little to the imagination
00:07:45
yeah they they kind of filmed everybody working and then they they made us fake a couple things like we did we did a pretend RTV yesterday where we we sat here and we introduced Chris Roberts wait wait hold on I wasn't sure what I wasn't sure what that was supposed to be are you are you gonna comment back on your experience with me for itself there was a point when they were shooting Justin in uh in Hennessy and they wanted Justin to put headphones on for his shot did he tell you this how does Tom Tom's like such a Gossip Girl Justin was wearing a teal shirt and the headphones were those Razer headphones with the green bright green trim and Justin just would not do it he put his foot down I don't care if I'm gonna be
00:08:33
on National Television I'm not wearing green headphones with a teal shirt look I'm sorry but it just was not happening I was like I can't put myself out there like that so meanwhile I'm going on National Television looking like this I'm like take it World Take Me As I Am yeah but you have no choice I have a choice I could get a haircut and shave and dress better and be nicer I have choices I feel like this is a theory oh yes God uh what also happened this last week is we did the wing Commander secret missions live stream yes arm still hurts from that but I never never use a uh never use a warthog for
00:09:23
eight out of 10 hours uh it doesn't go well in the end but we had a lot of fun we played all the way through synchromations it much like the characters in the game itself it drove us all a little crazy uh it was a great time um hope you guys tuned in if only to watch Sandy organized my office in the background which was pretty cool uh Chris showed up I didn't run this time 10 hours yeah let's just try 10 hours I stayed home yes yes we regretted it yes the warthog for is amazing a joystick as it is should not be used for 10 hours straight not by anybody who doesn't normally use it anyway so what'd you do this week toast um let's see right now tax credit documentation they never mind
00:10:13
when we give you every day lots of yeah contracts paperwork for next week's live stream there's stuff involved for that um there was a lot of paperwork involved in moving to a new office not So Much Game Dev stuff so which is just setting up buildings so Dennis was working on I.T computers networking connectivity we had your usual run-of-the-mill building stuff like recycling trash parking so yeah not the not the perhaps most interesting stuff I'd like to remind everybody that game development is work they can't actually hear you okay he did a lot of stuff he did a lot of stuff legal stuff Law and Order how about you with Thomas Hennessy I have come here for the sole purpose to
00:11:03
it's my thing tomorrow because I have to run away and film Chris here and I may not be able to do it at the end but I am a huge huge huge huge huge fan of the Star Wars movies and I can watch them all day every day and so I've decided tomorrow that's exactly what I'm going to do I'm going to come here I'm gonna watch it but I thought it'd be fun if you guys watched it with us so we will actually set up this camera probably sit right here and we will watch Star Wars and stream ourselves giving all the commentary we could possibly give and interacting in the chat with with anyone that wants to join us to watch Star Wars tomorrow so starting at 10 A.M tomorrow with the Phantom Menace episode one we will be watching all six movies in preparation for the force awakens which we will all be going to see starting at 10 A.M with Phantom Menace you can join us about 6 p.m for Star
00:11:52
Wars A New Hope that's when I was thinking of coming hey I will I will I will keep the the torch burning and anyone else that wants to join me and enjoy these wonderful movies and just see what we think about them what we thought about them then what we think about them now what doesn't make sense somebody needs to be with Tom like the whole time I could talk I don't need it I believe Ben is I'll be here but I'll be here I'll probably I'll probably be here I worry if Tom's by himself We'll order pizza yeah we'll be here I feel like it'll be a I feel like it'll be fun this is gonna be fun you know what I've only seen the prequels once so it's a good one this will be a good time to they're not sell any point no there's good stuff in there so anyway anybody who would like to uh join in with us we will we will have a
00:12:39
watch party tomorrow watch Star Wars with me and all my friends so wait when's the food coming because that's probably around the time I think would be best to join us perfect so that means come by twice foreign so if you ever want to watch some people watch Star Wars uh that's tomorrow and that's going to be totally informal it's not like a Cod Imperium advertising game thing we're not getting any ships we're just gonna be having some fun which is easier with this one we'll be doing anyway get ready for uh it turns out they're doing a new Star Wars movie this is you know the first we're hearing about it but uh yeah yeah this new Star Wars movie coming out if you didn't know but yeah for those of you who are asking chat yes we're not streaming the actual movie We're streaming us talking about the movie while we're watching the movie
00:13:26
so what we'll do is we'll like we'll pause it where it says a long time ago and we got this far all right far away and then we'll sink and you guys can start your copy if you want to watch along with us and stuff awesome if Justin joined us for it only for did him say something like oh I forgot that Lando was from the Star Wars movies well you know what okay we're not even gonna open up box of worms it's like maybe I should come so that I could you guys can inform me on all this good stuff that you guys are just so happy to be a part of so I mean I did I have seen the movies I have seen this is the serious high heel on them yeah he's got some heels you know what you're gonna do was he in all three movies no just two of them
00:14:13
okay I feel like that was that was a genuine question like I don't remember what the first one don't let them don't let them you know it's okay I just want to be on your guys's level no you don't don't come down to this level we are not something this is the basement yes we are not something to Aspire to yeah trust me if you think we make fun of others we rail on each other pretty yeah it's bad we're not somebody to Aspire to all right so what did I do this week no build sets or decorated sets rather After Hennessy put some amazing amazing work into constructing them over the last two weeks
00:15:01
we'll reveal our first new set during the live stream it's pretty cool it's called The Fan Cave um what did I do this week though you already went through that and you took all my stuff I didn't say any things though I just said I did the monthly report what else what else have you done what do we do this week uh Chris Roberts came over to my computer last night and said hey everybody get around gather around we want to show you something even cooler than you saw before yeah it's not for livestream's looking cool there's there's gonna be at least one G whiz golly space moment um gee whiz calling space moment um we also shot a longer form piece about the ship pipeline that I am in a bunch I shot that this week it'll be in the live stream uh it's mostly gonna be the guys in the UK showing how they work
00:15:49
which you don't normally get to see but they asked me to intro it and hopefully I will have you know they shot me for like half an hour and hopefully it'll be like half a minute of me at most because I hate seeing that stuff anything more than half a minute of Ben is yeah genius um what else happened this week talked a little bit about the prowler Cuban what's the prowler for those who may not know uh the prowler is our last of the last wave concept ships it's taking it's gonna take a little bit longer because we want to build out the Tovar and race a bit you know before we uh commit to the design but that's coming I organized all of Chris Roberts old stuff Sandy Sandy very kindly but hundreds and hundreds of tapes and that things and vhs's and uh old drives in my office from the making of the wing
00:16:39
Commander movie and I'm coming up with a plan to Archive them all digitize everything so we have it forever and it's been pretty cool to look through and then just last night I was like I emailed her like okay here's the inventory I did here's what we need to do to Archive I found where six more boxes should I bring them in yes please so I'm uh you know as happy as a pig and big stuff and Dad tapes dad tapes yeah and when I have a little free time we're about 2018 2019 we will uh do that and be cool after our honeymoon after our honeymoon we still had that you guys haven't had your honeymoon yet no it starts hasn't gone away oh no where do you guys want to go Chernobyl laughs no we would we would like to go to France yeah
00:17:26
I lived in example for a year and a half or so on a duck to go back there oh you did what were you doing out there uh my dad my dad worked for IBM and they would send them all over the world and when I was when I was a kid they were sitting in Milwaukee and they were like oh let's move you guys to Milwaukee and I was like no you you fly to Milwaukee every week and then after that assignment they're like oh now you can move we're gonna have you assigned to a hospital in Marseille but he built this Hospital databases they're like okay well let's move there so he lived in Europe for a while cool that is cool all right so Dennis hi Dennis you want to say hi before we start taking questions come say hello technically do you want to say hi is a question
00:18:13
I'm not even on screen yet yeah yeah I don't have my live monitor anymore you guys that's so professional Dennis and Stacy have been busting their butts uh to get the new office in order yes if if we gave out medals they should actually get like seven of them they've done an incredible amount of work this past week making things go and I believe they both had the flu yeah they just flew through it and we just kind of sit there like idiots while they do all the real work um it's been amazing watching the office come together and uh we can't wait for it to be done uh we're in the process of printing up all these wall graphics and signs and things and it's all going to be in the universe that's so cool uh the the writers have had a field day giving us all fake titles were
00:19:01
minister of information and it's such a master of disaster no no I'm not like minister of uee minister of information or something that's awesome nothing says you can't be but at the same time oh is that gonna be like on your guys's office like yeah they're gonna put them on all the walls fictional titles so instead of Chris Roberts CEO he's going to be the Chris drivers chairman Roberts face Industries oh that's that's cool so instead of being what he is he'll be what he is okay all right so verse to verse we always start with 15 minutes talking about our week in review and goofing off and that was it before we lost some steam it's really going to be some more probably gonna beat some more it's our informal live stream with the fans now we'll start taking questions from the
00:19:49
chat we take questions from both the RSI chat in general and the twitch chat please prep us your questions with the word question in capital letters and surrounded by brackets it helps us pick them out from all the other chat detritus uh one of the questions we've been getting is why is the lighting so weird uh because Hennessy is in the other side of the office filming 10 for the Chairman's uh to keep you guys busy through the holiday season so we are running on natural light here in stage 42 so that's why it may look a little different than normal light I think I think it looks great I don't know what people I've been a fan of the our last two uh around the verse I think it looks great yeah and we got the natural light going because we've got these big bay windows here and we have a fantastic Black Magic Camera which which really brings out my Jesus eyes
00:20:35
oh Jesus size so we we that happened this weekend story behind that one yet no they don't know yet so we really they probably saw some people may have seen on Twitter but we uh we uh what's the thing where everybody goes into car together cool carpool we carpool uh if disco drives us um it's me ali uh let's go toast and uh Dan Kaminsky you may remember uh the artist from pngs strong metal strong lover of metals fine Metals um and so we we all leave first to me go and pick him up he also lives in Santa Monica and we're waiting outside his apartment and this uh you know homeless gentleman comes up to the side of discos car where's the driver's side and like leans into the car and just like babbling coherently I drive his arm yeah I drive
00:21:23
a Toyota Sequoia it's a big SUV so he steps up on the sideboards and reaches in through the window to grab me and hold on to me yeah you got Jesus eyes you got Jesus eyes man because as you feel me you feel me I can tell you got them desires followed shortly by can you give me a ride yes so um we did not we did not get but it made for a good story anyway yeah everything about this is an adventure even the carpool everything uh status of the unmelt tool still in development although maybe soon it will be done yes again it's one of those things that it just uh we have 68 chips with all variants included right now and with the
00:22:12
different packages and stuff it's it's it's a lot of work to do an automated system to bring back a gun go through everybody's account history and and uh be able to have that automated so that you can go through it so uh yep that's coming um in fact we we have a release date for it but I'm not sure if it's on track because I haven't seen an update this week but uh you'll hear about it soon if Justin turns the hat around does that make him an expense more of an expense hey man Sherman what's going on hey guys I'm still really jealous of your character yeah oh yeah what's with your stupid [ __ ] jerk chairs
00:22:59
my stupid [ __ ] jerk chair yeah yeah this is my new DX racer uh uh uh wide series it actually says wide series they went with that instead of fat ass in the back I do like that wide series is like embroidered yeah it's just embroidered like Hey fat ass yes as a gentleman of shall we say expansive but I can tell you that printing in giant letters on your seat wide bottom is not uh not ideal so then what's the other one look like it looks like the normal character it's just the same church as a little skinnier wow this was donated lovingly by the DX racer team themselves who are now having second thoughts I guess we uh uh we're kind enough to be we asked them hey if
00:23:46
you give me a free DX racer we'll put it on the show and talk about it and they're like sure and it was and it was here the next day you're not supposed to reveal that part of it day at my desk yep and I do I do I do use it every day like this yeah I roll it in here this is Ben's chair that he uses every day at his desk we roll our chairs we like our chairs it is a really nice chair it is easily the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in uh those Hernan Herman Miller Aeron chairs are really nice this is a Herman Miller area yeah I like this yeah they're really nice but I I really like this oh and it's got this you can't see this everyone are you holding socks it's got this recline okay it's like I can sit like this I'd always be afraid to fall back
00:24:35
I don't like that sensation yeah yeah this this is incredibly comfortable right is it safe though are your feet up is it my feet are up I am not touching the floor right now I think the better question is is this interesting for people watching it is not that's an easy what's up DX racer wide series I really like it this question this is for Ben do you know what the Endeavor is planned for squadron 42 if not is it currently being worked on the Endeavor is not uh does not appear in Squadron 42 at the moment it may appeared episode two or episode three I would not have any episodes even so never mind uh it is not being worked on at the moment it's in the queue um I believe we're working on the uh so uh you guys saw the rollout for the
00:25:26
multi-crew we used the constellation and the Retaliator as our Central ER test case multi-crew ships and then from there we'll build the rest of kind of the smaller multi-crew ships the the star fairer starfare and the caterpillar are our similar test cases for bigger Capital ships and they are both in active development right now once they're done we'll move on to stuff like the uh you know the sign ship the the Orion the uh and so on Endeavor bigger ships bigger ships you say bigger Capital ships are going to set half the forms on fire so they're not really Capital ships they're uh we're human beings people there uh can you tell us more about the devaran then what's your current thoughts on their development I think we're still figuring all that out right yeah they don't look like turtles at all if that helps yeah we're still figuring the tabar now so there's not much to say about it just yet
00:26:14
damn uh when does your joystick when does your joystick will be available for sale tune in to the live stream next week in fact there's a good chance to plug live stream there's a live stream you know not like this live stream a good one uh a good one with people you want to see yeah yeah we'll be doing our our holiday live stream uh Wednesday December 16th you'll normally we do watching at the end of the week we figured people are going to be seeing something else towards the end of the week we didn't want to interrupt that so Wednesday December 16th we'll be doing a three hour live stream with Chris and Sandy and all the cool kids um will be showing off all sorts of bits and Bobs and we'll be you'll be uh you'll have an opportunity to pre-order the uh joystick for the first time I believe
00:27:02
oh well man I gotta stop the auto scroll just losing the question all right that's a good time for me to also hop our physical merchandise okay uh we'll have uh uee patch sets available for sale uh starting Wednesday I believe and it's my other product thinking I'm sorry which one did you just say the patch set that's set jp2 oh right uh so we're gonna be doing uh we're gonna start taking pre-orders for jump Point volume two uh and that'll be on Wednesday so we'll have more information about that happening on Wednesday but I know a lot of people have been asking for that so it's happening another thing people have been asking about is uh some of the larger Capital ships that we did not offer in the previous sale
00:27:49
um that includes the the javelin the Idris and so on we will have a limited number of them available in December during the live stream we'll we'll post the details before it happens but it will be you know a handful and you know it's to keep the same balance as we have before with larger larger audience so if you've been waiting for a chance to get one of those there will be a couple available um tune in we'll have details before the live stream so people know exactly when I really like the way you buried that at 28 minutes into the live stream oh yeah we're going to sell the javelin again we'll also give you an update during the stream so yeah we have a post on that later today or not later today we're still trying to figure out exactly what to do yeah because turbulent you know they it's always a battle we're like oh we want to do a live stream and reveal
00:28:36
things and have people go and get them and they're like but the live stream always brings this site to a crawl and so it's a balance in all fairness uh during the last live stream when they were trying to update add all of the uh cross chassis options um or the upgrade options it was nightmares yes it took a very long time because of all of the site traffic so will control configuration be revised anytime soon currently it takes forever and a day to unbind then rebind everything without knowing what specific actions do please make it more user friendly especially for new players so that's absolutely a long-term goal uh one of the big challenges that we have right now is we're still getting I think I've said this a few times uh we're still getting
00:29:24
the actual like action map of what are all the actions that you may need to keep buying for being sorted and so we've got like just the basic control configuration right now and it's definitely not the most ideal but long term we absolutely are going to make sure that's a much more viable thing there will be more once we have that whole set of what may need to keep buying uh really solved with a lot more of the complicated systems being all integrated basically we're still making the game nothing is fine we're still in Alpha we are not yet feature complete cargo mining yourself and all this other cool stuff didn't make that all real yes yeah no we don't have boom mics this week because we weren't expecting people
00:30:10
to sit behind us and talk the best laid plans then Matt Sherman shows up you might want to sit here oh yeah sit here sit here and speak towards this mic okay because that one's turned out well done um hey Alexis well the patch sets include at least one uee or uee navy patch you need one uh I'm sorry uh yes uh they'll have so we've done these patch sets before it's the ud patch set I believe it's uh Army Navy advocacy advocacy Marines and the just the uee I thought I said Army okay okay it's five it's five total um and they're all uee so yes I know a lot of people have been asking for them for
00:30:56
cosplay purposes which is awesome um and I also saw a thread where somebody was like trying to get their own made and it was going to cost crazy amounts of money so you don't need to do that we'll have them for sale yeah two of my favorite hats to wear have the Navy patch and have the advocacy patch on them they're perfectly sized for ball caps very happy with them probably get another set so we make new hats that's the same question over and over again why are you why are you spending when will we get Ben bobbleheads the ego you can do something awful with this I guess Vanguard wardens in Hangar model for Vanguard Harbinger and Central
00:31:46
owners are you referring to the loner system loaners are generally for flying around in space the loaners don't appear in the hangar so right now they're focusing on building the Vanguard base model and then when they're done with that and they're pretty much when they're done with most of the bases I think that's the new idea right to go through and make all the bases yeah base bases first and then the very interaction no longer Handle by the ship pipeline they handled through the component pipeline because we're at such a point where a variant is built on the base with different components gotcha yeah stop spamming the same question I'm just sorting through the same questions over and over here although on a less answering question thing I found out something interesting
00:32:35
I got a message from uh well my old roommates a few years ago and it turns out his brother-in-law is actually uh is it Jim Crocker the guy who runs uh the base so it's like oh you actually just the the small world aspect of it where it's like oh he he knows someone I know I had a I have a cousin who lives in Texas I rarely ever see and he had felt it turns out that he had followed Star Citizen from the beginning and when I came on board here and I started appearing in on the camera he sent me a message goes wait you're a disco yeah videos and everything for years so he's like I had no idea this was you so if
00:33:24
you when you talk about small circum I had no idea you were such a huge Star Citizen fan and he's got a pretty sizable account too I was like all right he's like give me a free ship and I'm like no that was what we did this week my uncle came to visit yes Michael is an opera reviewer and is exactly as fancy as that sounds so so we did an uncomfortably fancy dinner um all right any updates on the brand new merchantment no sorry guys um it's it's you know it's in the queue we're not we're not building it right now it's basically where it's been it is time will come yeah it's time will come it's just you only do so many ships at a time yeah I mean I remember how a lot of
00:34:11
the caterpillar fans sort of felt until Randy was finally able to get this time to do that pass so I mean yeah it's a cycle it goes through it hits everything it goes through and hits them then it goes through and hits them so because I mean we have to be always working on these things in tandem where it can't just be a designer it can't just be an artist it has to be all of us are working together and if we're jumping to everything all at once then we just get derailed so we've got a better focus at a time always matters the wheel of ship development will land on the merchantment will serve no ship before it's time that's what I was looking for actually is Santa canceled no uh freelancer news they're at seek Peak uh yeah the last two weeks if you watched ATV you'll notice some uh some brand new uh freelancer artwork from the
00:35:00
interior redesign um no we don't we don't have any images of the exterior I mean they're working out they just haven't provided us with any images of the exterior yet but the interior is looking fantastic uh you saw a couple different angles of various interior shots uh in the last two weeks um it takes a lot from uh the star Fair yeah it takes a lot from the Starfire accused they're really nailing down the brand design language it's really cool to see how the ships becoming kind of unified and formed yeah misk is definitely like the like the stylistic test bed where even a lot more than some of the Aegis ships that we've already got in game like when when we get the freelancer the fair uh the Reliant all in the game and in your hang or if you if you walk across all three of those ships you'll immediately be able to tell
00:35:47
it's like yeah these these all came from the manufacturer so it's gonna feel really good when that's all set yeah it's a question how the heck is the light bulbs in here with the ladder yeah very dangerous hacks it's basically what you just written this woman every job really is no you've discovered oh yeah and then yeah yes but the grind pipe my uh Bud as far as the ship status updates guys I'm working on a new ship status page we we're you're gonna learn more about the pipeline as Ben said coming up
00:36:36
in the uh holiday live stream and then uh I'm going on running around between the different ship departments and I'm trying to get updated statuses of where each ship is in relation to the new pipeline so when I have that Segway why don't you tell us about the ship forums the ship forms nice so basically you'll get ship status update when I have it so working on it so many of you probably noticed that last night we introduced brand new ship subforms uh called the shipyard directly under the uh you look at the main form uh front page you'll notice the Star Citizen section and then where all the uh the subscriber the concierge sandwich writing because being there that's called let's talk spaceships uh it's a dedicated sub form for every ship Series
00:37:23
in the game which is currently s which is I don't know how many ship series there were there's 68 individual ships with all the variants so it's like it's like 30 30 so we can count them I didn't count them it was kind of weird it's like oh well I'm scrolling down a lot to go through this main course page but it's important it's important to remember that when we do things like this it's because the forums just like the game itself are in development this is an in-development project so it's not a release project so the primary principal driving force of our forums for us is feedback we need to see what you're thinking we need to hear what you're saying we need to get that information into the hands of people like Matt and and we need to get his
00:38:12
stuff back into your hands so that became really hard when some of the best feedback was lost in giant thousand page posts yeah I mean without it being specific uh the the Cutlass thread the batting merchantment Owners Club the uh I think there was a pretty sizable one for the caterpillar it's they're wonderful and we love seeing that dedication but it we can't serve you in a thousand post Hornet's Nest and and we can't take your information and get it to the people that it needs to get to when they have to dig through that kind of thing so we've created dedicated subforms just think of it as that those big threads but now explode even bigger where you can have many
00:39:00
subjects and and talk about this subject that striking me the thrusters and this thread can be the look of it and this thread can be the interior layout and it's all the same things you can do before but now it's easier for us to route that information to the people that it needs to get to because essentially each forum is the owners yes each forum is the owner's club and actually as I was originally I was calling each one the Owners Club and I got halfway through creating all these threads they were all called the owner's thumb when I realized well not everybody needs to own the ship to have reasonable feedback about it and stuff they don't want to salute anybody so then I had to go through and rename half the threats I took a sizable chunk of time last night but uh yeah we really think this is the way way forward uh you still have your communities you still have your dedicated ship communities that's what
00:39:47
it is it's that's your dedicated ship Community right there you can still have General talk about spaceships General talk is what general chat's for uh it's just when you're providing feedback when you're discussing the relative roles of this ship or that ships up it's we do them in the sub Forum so that I can get that information to the people that can make best use of it and in return because we're making it so easy for them to see your stuff now I can lean on them a little more you'll be like hey instead of you know all that time in chat maybe you go into the sub forum and make posts in the sub Forum where everybody can see it I know you're a champion since we've had chat before I even came here so so this is all part of endeavor to get more gold posts from from the developers into
00:40:37
the places where you guys can see it and where it can do the most good yeah so this is a lot easier to do when it is much more targeted to one specific aspect as opposed to fix the ship it's hey let's talk about this one aspect of the ship and that's a lot just a lot easier to work with and ideas don't get lost in the noise that way and that's the biggest issue is all right some of the older katamares where it's just there is a lot of amazing feedback and a lot of amazing thoughts that you guys have but it's not always the easiest to find sifting through 5000 pages is not really a great this started when we were doing the ship the the the shipyard posts and having to collect your feedback and realizing how difficult it was to find the you know all the good stuff and there were little posts so we're finally
00:41:25
we I found a little tiny posts about things that were just lost like somebody starts with thread and the thread had great feedback op had constructive reason feedback that hadn't anywhere else but it wasn't in one of the giant Owners Club threads and just got buried and it only had three posts and it got lost so this is another effort to help those little threads compete with the big threads and so they can all get all get the same visibility if you were going to say something oh yeah let's be completely direct this is also to end things like the Cutlass thread which was a minor fluffle out the other day you just won't lay off the covers no no because you should talk about it [Laughter] I still own my Cutlass blue cut this blue no the color thread is a
00:42:12
perfect example of what we're talking about here it is what inspired some of these changes is there is a lot and this is exactly what we said on the stream here today we were joking about it we love the thread there's lots of great feedback but let's be absolutely clear there are also a lot of dinks out there who are there to fight and talk about how they betrayed us and we all need to get refunds for your Cutlass and uh they lied to us and this is all part of a conspiracy they only created the Cutlass just never seen that game you guys suck and I'll say that right stream they probably 300 people in there posting amazing commentary that is useful to us and valuable and it gets lost in you know toxic things so don't be that guy if you're gonna be that guy we're gonna ban you from the forums I'm telling you Mario's right now and I got a number while we're being incredibly candid
00:43:01
about this I got a number of PMS last night of posts of people accusing me of killing their soul that wasn't that's an actual code Lando you have killed my soul not related to Starships for closing a threat now hyperbole aside that's probably not what happened and then there were 2 000 word posts uh PMS where they basically said the same thing and then accused me of having inappropriate relations with family members and it's just not constructive guys it's this is for them you still have your community you can still post what you want and have the discussions that you want within their regular confines of the Forum structure don't be offensive to people don't use you know play by the rules you just you still have whatever conversation you want
00:43:49
saw threads a new thread in the Banning merchantment Forum says what do you want to do with your merchantment when you get it per thread it's concise it's got a topic but as long as people stay on topic and whatnot it's just these giant it's we have to know what we're getting to so when somebody says hey what are people thinking about what are doing with their merchantment because that's going to come up at some point now he's got a dedicated thread to go find that stuff so that thread can go on it's not it's it's about focused feedback that's what we need it's about helping us help you to paraphrase uh that Tom Cruise movie yeah well I mean even like just Jerry Maguire that design side of things like there's always a notion of you know drilling down feedback and what that really means is you know you you take
00:44:36
this high level criticism and and it still has to be sort of focused on one aspect of the game or the gameplay and then you really start drilling down into the root of that criticism to find out what's right and if you're trying to do that to eight things at once then you get off Target and you start fixing something that you think is causing a problem when really that isn't the real root of the issue and so having it be cleaner is going to be better for everyone really you lost the thread and you've gained an entire sub form yeah that's that's a net positive yeah yeah so it may be hard for some folks to to see it right now because I've killed their souls well ideally we don't we shouldn't have to category those in the subforms they're already going to be fair enough pre-collected a
00:45:26
lot better so yes and you should see more gold posts should I'm working on it aye GoPros win that ship is in development we should question you right now that you're not you're not going to be seeing people yeah tell you about changes to bad enrichment because there have been no changes to the man emotion it's preserved in Amber until it goes back to another artist and Tech designer yes yeah so like you may see you know Randy popping into the couple or sorry the caterpillar sub Forum you may see me popping into the Reliant the Merlin or the Archimedes sub forums and it'll mainly be you know who's who's managing that ship at that time getting things built out you know who did the design work on those things so uh you there should definitely be more feedback but as the ships are being yeah
00:46:14
good question from beef stack right right along this thing here beef stack uh can we get clarification on whether or not ship designers look at the Forum for feedback on the ships during the ATV sneak peek of the Kanye the game designer all but admitted he had never read any of the feedback part of back in this game was the claim that we could influence design and feedback how do we do that if our feedback isn't being looked at that's exactly why we created the ship sub foremost guys it's because we recognize this deficiency we wanted to do something we weren't able to do it as effectively as we wanted to that's why we're doing the ship subforms now so hopefully you will see a marked improvement there are many designers who read the forums top and top to bottom we're not even a designer it wasn't an artist it was Christmas because on undesigned it would have been because Kirk did a lot of that setup
00:47:03
getting the yeah the seventh he's referring to yeah it was the same with Chris Smith yeah so so yeah so you know he's an artist he's not a designer yeah yeah but and you know everyone has a different process for this sort of thing the feedback does come back to you sometimes we collect it and give it to them sometimes oh something else and that brings us to the next part of our show he goes what was the line yesterday that that that's that's character customization now to talk space right here's the CEO of uh no I just gotta pop in quickly uh to let people know that uh later on today we will be taking 2.02 live so if for any reason you didn't hear him because he's far away from the mic 2.0 to live today it'll be later today so
00:47:52
we're currently just uh finishing off stuff and staging stuff but the last one that we put up the other last night seemed very stable we've got one more fixed to do some more stabilization uh that we've tested this morning it looks pretty good so we figured we might as well get in everyone's hands uh it still will have you know a few issues and bugs but all lost stuff always does because we're in early Alpha um but uh it'll be you know it now's time to get everybody playing and having fun with it uh we're going to be making uh you know additional tweaks and changes because 2.1 is uh coming out actually not very far from now so we'll have one more drop before the end of the year uh which we'll have some new things in but I won't talk about those right now uh but uh anyway I'm looking forward to seeing uh you know what everyone thinks over the weekend there's always
00:48:40
been some great videos from all the shenanigans everyone's gotten up to uh so far and uh you know it seems like with this perhaps people have been getting quite a lot of play time we're going to continue to work on optimization and all the rest of stuff and the experience will only get better but I'm pretty excited for everyone to uh to play that and then we've got a live stream a little later on next week which will be cool too guys to show you that all right that's it I gotta go and record some time for the Germans all right thank you Chris hooray I dropped the mic but they're they're taped down chat melted down is that exactly for the past three years he can melt
00:49:28
down the chat he came exactly what I told him to too literally he came exactly it was technically a minute early he was technically one minute early yeah it's gonna be amazing No One controls that's why I want you that's why he came in early he's like no you're not doing what you're telling me to do give him a minute early so yeah we're going live that means we all have a lot of work to do this uh no we actually started staging the live post just before this and Linda had to pull me away from my computer because I was sitting down yeah it means we're not going home early tonight yeah but it's exciting yay wait what just happened yeah we're gonna go live for 2.0 today uh which is our if for some reason you're watching us goof around on our TV without knowing 2.0 is the biggest uptake to Star Citizen so far this is uh
00:50:17
everything else is peanuts compared to what you will see in this version of Star Citizen it's multi-crew ships it's first person shooter it's large world it's missions it's EMP it's a million different things in this giant Crusader map um it's it's so so cool I'm sure everyone's been following the PTU the last few weeks as it has become stable thanks to the efforts of citizens out there uh but it's it's so cool we're so excited to have everybody have give it a shot lots to do and it's it's just the start this is this is the foundation upon which the persistent universe will be built um you know Armenia Commander was one big game mechanic hanger module is one game mechanic Area 18 one big game mechanic this is this is the whole stew think of all the places you'll take that noodle vending machine
00:51:05
people have realized that they've never seen Justin and Chris the same place at the same time Justin leaves and Chris walks in and Chris leaves and Justin Watson uh all right so I wonder what questions we have now uh org 2.0 status check out the monthly report because I said terminally you should put an org 2.0 status in there let's find out if they did and that comes later today okay John we should ask Chris about approving that while he was here other I guess now I have to go edit it a bit the 2.0 is out now so yeah yeah we have to edit the post uh do you have a status update of ships and their jump Point capabilities uh yes that's in the new ship status threat I'm
00:51:53
it's it's there's a field in my spreadsheet for that so uh when that's ready to go out you'll have that too are there any plans to re-add the flight controls to the second forward seed of the freelancer they were those menstrual it's not here anymore that was a question for Metro oh there I was like I was like I'm so confused like it's not even noon and he's already it's been a long three weeks it's been a long time I'm not here every day uh but so for things like the the freelancer just alternating controls uh long term yeah I think we talked about it Wednesday on the uh subscriber live stream where we've got a whole plan for different seat permissions uh allowing
00:52:41
you know who who can access what functionality of a ship so things like that are in the long run plan in the near term though unlikely you know you'll have the main pilot seat that controls the ship for when they first are going in and getting flight ready but you know as with everything in this game it's layering stuff on so once we have that you know then we can build out permissions once permissions work right then we can start making some much more complicated and we'll make gameplay out of that so long term yes short term are the releases of Squadron 42 and Star Citizen tied together or could they be released on separate dates well they'll absolutely be released at several places I mean Star Citizen we're we're gonna play part of Star Citizen now play a bunch more of it tonight
00:53:28
um and Squadron 42 will be independent of that it uh so command 42 will be out before Star Citizen is live final finished forever so yes the question is yes yes you know it's not a Perfect Analogy but 2042 is kind of like Warcraft 3 and star citizens like World of Warcraft as far as it's the single player it's the campaign kind of thing it's not a Perfect Analogy I acknowledge that it's not a perfect oddly enough uh is it what if both games had fully come out I think was it that uh Kurt Schilling's whole project the kingdoms of amalar uh like if Copernicus is an MMO come out where it's like here's the single player game to set up this Grand amazing Universe you're in
00:54:16
heaven and MMO and then the MMO hey here's the repercussions what happened beyond that other game so but by the way for all the people the Star Citizen and MMO MMO stands for massively multiplayer online yes that applies to starting citizen is it an morpg probably not no no it's not in the role typical definition but MMO massively multiplayer online that's that's that's our goal so that's not an incorrect doesn't fix does not force any specific suffix to it because you know there's MMORPGs MMO fps's mmor ts's out there we're going to be the MMO Space Jam I remember BD SSC I believed say that 10 times fast summon the
00:55:06
acronomics nope no seriously people have a lot of preconceptions of what an MMO is based on past experience other games you've played yeah it doesn't mean that there are there is a written in stone rule set that every MMO must follow we're going to break a lot of those conventions are there any conventions we haven't broken yet Geneva DragonCon don't say that on camera there's a convention we haven't broken yet let us all the monster truck is gone yeah it was a construction worker oh I saw them leave there was a monster truck outside earlier um for the timetable on the next release you should watch Tony's interview in atue yesterday uh you'll have a better idea of when abouts to expect uh Knicks which is later
00:55:56
I don't know who Jack macro is he's talking to me like he knows me I don't know who that is and he has goals yeah he works here you have a staff member asking me questions I don't know who it is a little bit Eric darling yep better ignore them do these at someone's desk this is too formal play things we try new things this is not the permanent uh uh we're just having fun with different formats to try different things wait is that Jake from State Farm it is Jake Paul are you wearing khakis Jake I meant to say we all were tuxedos I started to say we all wear tortillas if we could come to work into tuxedos
00:56:45
every day I would not have a problem with that I used to have to wear a tuxedo to work every day well he used to be James Bond nice to be used to be Mr trash he's James fine you really let yourself go yeah I used to walk around a professional baseball stadium in a tuxedo carrying a trash bag and collecting people's garbage and singing songs and doing comedy bits and sending autographs for Japanese tourists but that was just for fun yeah it's not a job wait that wasn't for fun yeah no that's that was that was my job in 1994. that was my job back in 1994. what was your job though like that was the job it was Mr trash Mr trash and eventually it became so popular I got to miss his trash and we gotta and then we got a whole trash family and then we got names were carry trash toss the trash any Trash fill up trash do you see more trash and I was
00:57:33
all over trash I I do not want to be the poor aspiring actress who ends up being cast as your trash White was there a trash baby wait why why was your name Oliver then like all of our trash oh oh my gosh this is the worst moment and then that wraps up reverse the first for Friday December 11 2015. uh be sure to tune in next week we have our holiday live stream on Wednesday at twitch.tv Star Citizen begins at 11 A.M Pacific it'll go for about three hours that's 1900 UTC or GMT whichever one you prefer uh lots of cool stuff to show and then we'll be right back here that next Friday and the
