Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. on this channel we'll be doing our special subscriber only Edition RTV with special guest Sean Tracy uh he's basically got his fingers in just about every aspect of Star Citizen so especially technical aspects so Ben just wants to see that you read it right now I actually know how to read what's on the paper in front of me something that that my steam colleague Sand's great s's great at reading what I write on the script but because she's a professional actress not so much this guy looks at the first two words on the ATV script and then just goes off onto his own thing yeah but then I end up being like Anchor Man or something where I just like read out exactly what he writes and he sets me up for things yes so Sean Tracy next Wednesday uh 11 a.m. Pacific right here on Twitch let's see if we had any questions here question
00:13:44
why is there a giant D behind you that is the D from cloud D Imperium in the old office we had these 3D signs with the company logo there was an rsi1 and uh that is uh surviving D you know I honestly don't remember the D being that big well it's so far away we're so high up no that wasn't no Jared that's only you can it be an A or something I promise it's not only me I promise it's my D set down to the floor okay okay let's get some questions not about the D about the D um everything is about the D toming so serious questions are going by a little fast to to catch here see um any updates on oh I lost it where'd it
00:14:38
go uh I find that touchpad hard to use but it is it's not the it's not the oh this is that laptop I took to Germany that first year it's quite the laptop yes to yeah weighs about as much as a child uh info on the cutless uh we're actually filming a segment for for uh ATV soon uh with Patrick Seno who's currently working on lods for the cutless so you're going to see some of the uh continuing work on the cutless very soon uh anyo on the whole series uh nope they're they're a little bit further in the future but I can tell you the caterpillar is getting some good work from uh gmach right now uh xen Scout is uh in its final final flailings of gray
00:15:27
boxing uh um saber is really close yes the LA office is still close to tours till March we're still in uh construction but we've come a long way since then but is he started to look really cool we got a floor and we got a floor recently our Kor I know our life is so exciting I it's coming together though it's looking nice it's looking nice I have a commissary I called Ben yesterday he's I'm like where are you he's like I'm in the commissary I know we can eat in now and we're not breathing in all this other stuff so it's nice any word on the shuttles from the 24 million stretch goal I'll be honest I have no memory of what that is but I will check remember shuttles we pull that up that was a good question I remember shuttles in the let's look at
00:16:15
this here we have the internet at our fingertips we'll use it here watch us use the internet to look up shuttles it's the $24 million fet right now they're like oh my gosh they don't remember remember their own stretch goals I don't remember all the stretch goals shuttle like what kind of shuttle that's what we're finding out here 24 million public transportation system oh uh yes that's that's in the game gotcha in the game today but it's coming so I'll Jer it out uh that's the system by which you'll be able to travel from system to system without owning a ship um and you saw a lot of that in the uh star I want to call it the Orion Space plane but it's not the Genesis Starline Genesis Starline is the uh nucleus of that system yeah I think we we need to have more multiple
00:17:04
systems before we start building public transportation between them so we're we're we're ways away from that yet um no price estimates on the prowler or new Corvette yet no too soon for that um oh the prowler yeah if I bring my own hard hat can I visit during construction it's not a safety concern other otherwise we'd all be with hard hats it's just we want you to see the full we don't want you to see part of the place and then we finish it and you're like oh well I came too soon I didn't get to see all the other cool stuff otherwise we'd all be with hard hats I me I just had a vision of you all in hard so it's it's delaying the chores until March is more about us wanting to have everything there is to show you so we don't waste your time so you don't feel like you missed out on anything the office is in Gray boxing right now and it's going to be hang ready real
00:17:52
soon but maybe we can have a segment where we show people some of the progress in ATV maybe make that happen maybe what is it maybe you do it do it so Jared was kind of acting like he didn't hear it for a little bit and then it was like oh no my ears are plugged I I can't hear anything either I'm just hoping you're all saying words will you guys update the Squadron 42 Page as more of these behind the scenes featurs come out yes yes is that not happening it should be uh there's not a place on this 42 landing page for videos oh okay so it's something but it's something that we can add though usually we update the character once we have an image of them so uh haven't published uh John rice Davies or Julian Anderson yeah I can't
00:18:41
wait for my Mohawk see a lot of speculation about what you are going to look like playing I just told everybody make me look good who picks the MVPs on ATV uh we we usually go around the room see who has ideas we also ask our uh fantastic mod team uh CU they they've seen the best and the worst of the forms at any given time uh generally the final call usually comes to me unless there's something Ben that Ben really likes I like the fist bit with it and then I just put it in there uh will there be a PTU patch today there is a patch on the PTU right now PTU patch is available right now 211b this is a uh I don't know what you call it a flare patch or something where we are we just put up to pdu to make sure
00:19:30
it doesn't break the world and we will go to live with it uh if if everything is good and so far everything seems good should be by the end of the show we should be able to go we should have a go Doo for live uh this is uh mostly a balance patch about balance and Bug fixes um so no no nothing like a new ship or new game mode or anything but it's fixing a lot of the issues with 21 that have been discovered by our backers and uh it's going to make for a better experience do we have a date for citizen con this year not yet because it's going to depend on the venue right yeah looking at oo Sunday October 9ine I think Monday October 10 although it's the day it's kind of a weird day but we Saturday or Sunday eight or nine nobody wants to party on a Monday we'll know the
00:20:18
specific day when we have the specific venue uh can we get a highle update on how start citizen evolves from here um I would recommend checking out the recent two-part interview with Tony zeric that we did with on ATV just a few weeks ago uh that's about as high level as you can get uh also 10 for the chairman every Monday is really as high levels you can get um yeah but I think um essentially we're just going to continue expanding from the base we built in Crusaders so you'll see more Mission types more gameplay types more uh you know more locations you know it's it's going to be a big moment when you make your first jump to another star system um just um you know Crusader's the center
00:21:07
of the meatball and we're just going to keep adding meat uh I I don't know how you make meatballs but I assume that's yeah uh no as Ben just said the star the starf far is not going live today today's patch is bug fixes bug fixes uh but star eror is coming um it's pretty close it's pretty close yeah um do we know when our next Like official formal live stream will be we do not no no announcements yet we talked about doing wi in January but we want the big live streams where everybody you know takes a day off of work to make them happen we want them to be something special so um once we have a really cool Star season event we'll build a build a cool live stream around it uh somebody just asked why the 890
00:21:56
jump isn't being worked on right now as in built uh just because it's a a matter of assigning resources where they're needed you know we if we have 20 ships to work on and we have the staff to work on you know three four at a time um it's just not a win right now to do the 890 jump it's it's still on the schedule it'll happen before we're before we're done but uh you know it's an assembly line you build one at a time not uh not all the cars at once yeah and there are other ships that are linked to various game mechanics that I think are probably being prioritized more like Mining and cargo and yeah salvaging and stuff so s 42 ships as well exactly so squatter 42 is a huge Focus so so luxury maybe not the biggest priority at the moment but the good news is that
00:22:43
once the the artists and the designers who are working on the Squad 42 ships are done because that project will be released before the whole of Star Citizen we'll have all sorts of super experienced talented people working on the ships you're waiting for uh can we buy a starf fair next month no nothing to announce yet I tried guys I tried uh any updates on the hotas yeah they should come we're hoping next week online so the cotas and the keyboard will come first and then later on we'll be um the headset and mouse if you want those uh the um more expensive or the
00:23:32
more you know well yeah it is more expensive but more complicated you know a grander hotas uh I think we're making an announcement for that come eas3 gotcha theend yeah the high end yeah exactly there you go thank you can you move the microphone a little closer to you there you go there's people some people having trouble hearing you we can't turn that one up because it picks up all of us so they have to keep that one kind of low so loud because we're so loud not today though um physical packages in the future again uh well I need to ship all of the promised ones and so sounds like a title to a movie or something um I need to ship all the promised ones first um and then we can kind of go from there but
00:24:20
the the silver constellation uh collector's boxes are going to ship first um probably Jun or July hopefully and then after that I'll ship the freelancer boxes and the Hornet boxes uh yes to uh to clarify s statements we're expecting the pre-order for the standard edition hotas to go online next week they're not going to ship next week no they won't sh next week for pre-ordering and stuff just followup questions here and they've discovered your cppy cup I know it is the best way to avoid spillage I'm just saying I know it looks kind of weird but there you go um she's not raw yes is there a chance the HUD on the freelancer can get an update uh
00:25:10
absolutely yeah none of the Huds are finished it's it's kind of a uh a generic HUD spread amongst all the ships right now but but I know Zayn and the entire team in the UK are working on bespoke Huds for all the different manufacturers in fact that's one of the specific reasons we ship Zayn off to the UK is to do more with uh Huds yeah yep he was working on it when I was there in the UK and did a little piece for the BBC on it yeah it's it's the it's the side effect of of putting the game out while it's still being built you're going to see a lot of things in temporary transient States and Huds are definitely one of those they've got some cool stuff I've seen the mockup of the of the freelancer HUD it looks very cool um you're such a tease yeah we should we should get that and a show it people
00:25:59
I love it there's nothing like putting you on spot uh I will ask Zing he's not always the easiest person to get a hold of and and that particular image isn't checked into shotgun so cuz I have Lu I've tried to show it before then's like you should do it like I haven't been trying uh I hate you so much uh where can we find the BB the BB wow BBC show that they um I'm waiting to hear from our head of PR when that's going to air and as soon as I find out um I will post that online we'll post it on our com link and everywhere that's it's click right yeah it's click and then there's also another part of the
00:26:46
BBC that are doing um so there's the click piece and then there's a bigger piece so there's two there's more than one piece basically but I'll definitely give all the links when when I have them and click is shown on BBC America so uh America yeah you be able to see it here and then the other ones I think we can definitely get links for so also the internet exists so and don't we have like aren't we going to get the full interview um the full round table that we're also going to do show so they give us the the full footage so if they cut anything out we could use the footage for for our own purposes yeah I can actually feel myself getting worse sitting in proximity to been it's I felt much better than I was before iting weird sitting the distance un don't want to get sick I know nether
00:27:36
I'm going to have to we you guys are like healthy thin people you have good immune systems yes we are filled with poisons but you know we took down Hennessy and I know Hennessy never gets sick too and so I felt bad that throat spray that he's got henness should seen him yesterday he was rough like he was pretty bad I felt bad for like coughing yeah just miserable uh questions about or 2.0 and stuff uh Ben W from turbulent was here this week and I got to to talk with them quite a bit about it and even see the mockup for what they're suggesting I can tell you it's very cool it will take some time still but I'm really excited about it um and I know people are also wondering about the uh the Melt thing they were working on using store credit um it sounds like they have a system
00:28:26
we're going to try out next week we're going to give everybody ready a token to use store credit once uh we'll have details on that next week uh once they launch it um but should have some more answers to your uh please St will the pre-orders for the hotasses be limited like are is there any reason people it's what they're asking can they order more than one I'm pretty sure you can order more than one I will um double check though in terms of because they're they're you know the box is like big and kind of heavy so I'll find out how that works this first run is limited though it's it's the signature stuff is that right yeah they're all signed by Chris okay so there it is a limited first run for you
00:29:15
guys uh right so it's basically only sold on our site and then you're right there Jared and then um uh like later on scitec will be selling hot house in there stores and their third party um Outlets however they won't have the Chris's signature or the numbering on the bottom so it'll be one of 2000 two of 2000 Etc gotta uh are there got questions go by too fast I can't see uh are there any updates regarding the performance of the universe when can we expect higher GPU usage and overall FPS uh 2.11 has a number of fixes I know uh specifically to the CPU issue yeah um some some things are bugs like the CPU issue we saw recently the frame
00:30:03
rate drops people saw with the constellation um and the when AI spawn and stuff that stuff will get fixed much earlier um General performance enhancements but everything that happens much later in the process yes uh are you going to drink that coke by the way just asking touch I know just molesting an unopen Coke here strange at least I'm drinking out of my Cy cup I know you guys are making me thirsty you didn't have to drink it by the way but I was just kind of asking any plans for a Star Citizen UE Naval physical captain's hat any PL hold on I got they're probably talking about my hat I think I think what I did is I just bought the patches and then I went and found my own hat and had a nice elderly seamstress put it on I think that works best that way seamess yeah she was like
00:30:53
this old 70 some OD year old grumpy woman she's like what do you want and I'm like I want you to put this on where were you to find a strip mall strip mall says embroidery like that was the name of the sign embroidery I figured they could probably put it on the but you know if you just buy the patches you can put them on whatever kind of hat you want I think that's probably the best solution rather than us trying to figure out what hat you're toly pimping out today you got the I know the track jacket a whole attire they may be talking about the officer's caps though in sad 42 the uh like Navy style ones with the little visor and like the PE yeah the one like the one that Forest has you know potentially potentially yeah I'll look into it I need a good sample though um no updates on the lobby system just
00:31:41
yet we are all very aware of the lobby system so uh we we we do a we do an internal play test here in La every week now and we we deal with that every single week trying to get in we're aware it's on the list uh any plans for Paris games week no I so do we I don't think so it's going to run close to uh our the dates is the issue I think it's the end of October it's really close to all the I know we were very ambitious last year we're like yeah we're going to do citizen con and yeah we're going to do Paris games week and yeah we're just so few people and it just get Gamescom kills you and you never recover games's hardcore we're do it a little bit differently this year yeah I came in right at Gamescom last year yeah games
00:32:31
oh that's right I remember threw you in the d-pen like literally the week of here this this I like this can we get a link can we get links to the web mini games on the website so they're easier to find yeah we can do that yes I think a good idea I'm going to put the other commlink that has all our mini games that's a good idea that's a good idea thank you person whose name I can't pronounce starts with an r and then a question mark starts with an r and then a question mark so I don't know how to pronounce that rali so we'll do that uh let's see I'm going back between trying to go back and forth between the two different I'm so bummed I don't have X-ray vision uh cuz I can't see what's happening well it would all be backwards anyway I've never looked at Lando and thought man I wish I had x-ray vision what happened to your hair Lando
00:33:19
I hear a lot of people asking yes I'm ignoring the question now I wasn't looking at Lando by the way I was looking at the laptop what happen into my hair I woke up in the middle of the night and I was hot what yeah that was a very weird conversation was that yesterday and I'm like what happened to your hair Monday was it Monday I I can't remember the day this whole week has been like he just land turns around to me go I don't know how you sleep with like long hair I'm like what are you talking about he go don't you wake up in the middle of the night and it bothers the hair and it was just and I and like oh you should put up in a bun I'm like I'm not putting my hair up in a bun you should put it up in a bun actually I'm so surprised you didn't do that though who told you to put your hair in a bun Alexis man buns are like the thing now
00:34:07
though I wish if I had long hair I'd probably have a man buns are a thing you look at me and say this is a guy who does the thing how is it that you don't have hair but you know that mans mans cuz I I know the trends dropping viewers hotcakes right we are hemorrhaging viewers couldn't never SE Lando rocking a man bun uh uh have you seen young pictures of Lando yeah actually there was one point where I had hair that was down to here any Star Citizen questions out there yeah do we have Star Citizen questions yeah they're all the same thing Herald updates people keep asking for for ship updates no update on theal yeah the herold's being worked on um but next ones you likely to see saber Jean Scout uh fuel potato
00:34:58
uh fuel potato fourth one starf far starf far oh yeah I thought there's a fourth one that's no there is imminent now I can't remember what it is Reliant oh Reliant soon yeah yeah we uh we uh carpool with Daniel Kaminsky and he was here late late the other night getting the final materials passed done um so it's coming uh common question is if you have the Gemini will you get this regular starf far in the hanger the laner syst system does not apply to the hanger system right now we are uh exploring our our options for getting you the regular starf far I think we will be able to do it it'll probably be some crazy you know spit and glue system but it it show you it'll appear that you don't have a
00:35:44
gemini or whatever but uh we'll make it work cu the the fun thing about the starf far is that it's a big ship to explore and we want everybody to see that it's huge yeah also you guys keep asking you guys your questions are going by too fast are we really like like are we like just got 50 viewers now because no no we got like a th viewers are you serious yeah there people just complain I put it in slow mode and the reason I put it in slow mod so I could read your questions um oh here the no another letter we getting another why tell us letter from iima this just in from Dallas uh President Kennedy has been
00:36:31
shot what it says Alexis vly denies ever suggesting Leto put his hair in a man bun she's sick and and high on cold medication too she did oh wow I said I I said I don't know you sit next to her I wouldn't be you know I wouldn't be broadcasting um she's going to come for you yeah you're in trouble set over on to us when are you guys releasing the morrow tour uh the morrow tour was shown during citizen con and there's a video cutaway version of it available on our YouTube uh we had talked about doing a a cleaner version of it but ultimately those people are all all have other things to work on like Crusader at the time and and the game stuff so it's just it's just not a huge priority but you can see the marot tour as was presented
00:37:20
at Cen Con on our YouTube page oh bye Sandy bye bye uh will the 8 all right now let's get the party started will the 890 junk be available again at some point probably yes we would like to make it available again but uh we don't like to just make ships available because it'll make money you know we we we could certainly look and say hey everybody what's this ship we want to do it in coordination with oh there's some news about this ship or oh there's some event you know like our tenuous connection between the X Files and the Cheyenne Scout for today's sale um no but that the Scout is actually very close and got somebox images up on the site which will be up just after this presentation um yes uh but yes so we'll do something
00:38:08
with the 890 in the future but I we want to be further along we want to be closer to when it's coming out um we do try to have rhyme and reason behind the things that we do whenever possible so joining us is Matt Sherman hello Matt Sherman hey everybody how you doing doing good so on this week's HV uh Daren vck spilled the you are working on reworking the tech design for the 890 jump that led to many many threads yeah I saw some of those uh just so people don't over overestimate what's actually happening um so when the 890 was first unveiled at sis and Con 2014 uh it was all done with the original component spec that had been working for a while and since then we've changed that so it it's really just updating those spec lines to make sure
00:38:56
it's all going to work nice with the new system it's not it's not super FASTT tracked or going to be coming out in the next couple weeks guys so it's not not that high a priority just making sure it's all going to work when it's it's time is up because we do have a revision to the entire Stat system coming yes so that's rolled into that it's it's one of the ships that we have to revise the stats for yeah I mean it's the big component overhaul that we first started talking about uh I want to say it was like last May it's just this the whole system is that pervasive it just takes a long time to make sure it's going to be exactly what we need for the long term of the game uh and as always guys if if you're asking the same question over and over and I don't and I'm not picking it's because we don't have an answer for it it's it's or because we hate you
00:39:44
personally we don't hate you personally it's it's sometimes we there's just not something that we have an answer for yet so if you're asking the question and over and over and over and over and over again it's because I'm not about to sit here say hey do we have an answer to this no okay and then move on it's just so no info about the B Merchant I I just said that's the kind of thing I'm that's the kind of thing I gloss over it's well I will say one thing about band new merchantman is that I sat down with uh Sandy Aaron Chris and everybody and we talked about priorities for ships um the ones we want once Squad 42 was squared away and uh merchantman and Carrick were uh on the top of that list so um nothing today nothing tomorrow but there will be
00:40:33
a point in the future where it's a priority are Ben's jokes getting better no yes they are nope don't encourage him my jokes are funny and natural now they just roll off the town nope I had a really good time playing wiand 3 last night this is probably bad news for uh people expecting a ship stat update for uh the uh for Star Citizen but uh last night I went into win Commander 3 to update the ship stats that were wrong in 1994 um so took us that long uh uh any new stuff for subscribers we just had our January subscriber flare award it was the uh armored suit armed
00:41:24
suit Yep looks very cool sitting there and it's floating in its uh capsule what it's called suit hole suit hole we also updated the Vault today um sorry for the today we've all been our brains know work good this week um this is one of those weeks that I'm going to completely forget it's just going to be a weird mix of dreams and uh sometimes going to work and horrible pain uh do you guys have the flu over there or just us just us yeah um design and Engineering we get our own set of plagues to deal with so um again just a blanket answer to all the variant questions guys the current philosophy is to build all of the base models first and then go back and start
00:42:13
and take the knowledge that we gleam from building all the base models and then apply that to putting together the variance so do not expect to see the variance in Crusader uh or Arena Commander until you see all the base models completed yeah cuz I mean there's also a big reason for that because like you guys got to see uh over the holiday live stream with the misk ships the more base models that we do get built to any single manufacturer the better reference guides that we have the better and more efficiently we can get all this stuff built up whereas just trying to cram it all in at once uh especially if the ship if there aren't that many ships of that size if there aren't that many ships from that manufacture it's is absolutely putting the cart before the horse and we just lose time on that yeah which is one reason why you're seeing so much work on the agis ships cuz we have this totally finished tool kit we have the all the
00:43:03
reference work it's a lot it's very easy for the folks doing those ships to pull it together and get things like the Vanguard and the uh saber yes out the door they've gotten really good at that whole profile ships some folks have discovered that the uh Shion Scout is already available in the store good work um as far as the CCU those will be online when the actual post goes up and stuff that yeah you just noticed you discovered our little a little secret surprise for right now but there will be CCU enabled surprise you can buy something surprise you can give us money something before you do tell you why but no CCU will come online shortly but I should stress right now jica is not going into the game today it's not in the 211 patch it's still a concept sale it is one of the next Ships coming um in a 2.x patch uh but we we're just
00:43:53
we figed it would be fun to make it aailable today to go with it's because in our disease addled mind we went Julian xfiles julan Julian Anderson to xfiles to aliens to Shan Scout in our disease adult Minds so but the Scout is really really cool uh we've got the specs or at least a good chunk of all of its core Parts locked in now so uh even what you guys see on the specs page for it it's actually going to be a little bit beefier than that um like the the shielding on it uh it's is really going to be a Hallmark thing of the ship where uh more so than any other ship in its size class it's shielding can take a punch but the hall h not so much but it's going to be a great
00:44:40
one uh folks have [Music] notice noce the percussive pounding from construction work there's still construction going on here at the cloud imperian games offices uh Sandy went to deal with somebody uh some folks have asked about the Vanguard which is recently introduced in 2.1 uh they've noticed that maybe it's a little squishier than it should be uh obviously this is the first iteration of it but 211 actually makes some balance changes to it yes it does uh but it will continue to be balanced and tinkered with as more ships are as more Ships Come online we start you readjusting so that everything has its place within yep the new the new Norm well even with the the Vanguard it was one of the first ships where when it went initially live it was under the new
00:45:29
component system where it had multiple Shield generators installed but that wasn't fully uh set up and working so I mean already I want to say for 211 that you know we it's more of a stop Gap fix for right now but we we it should be back to where that Shield health will end up being now is the Scout still a two-seater yeah um is Cruise mode working as intended with other flight modes that would be better for KX because I know he did a lot more work on getting those new flight modes set up I would suggest tuning into ATV next week for our interview with KX about the flight modes but the answer is it's still a work in progress oh yeah um can we see the health of a ship Hull in Arena
00:46:17
Commander uh not as a numeric representation it's more when you have a ship targeted and you start to see the different uh regions of the ship discolor off of like the either the stock green or stock blue outline of your HUD uh that's how that damage is being represented it's not just a a health bar that you see chipping down yeah I think it's better that way for Emer Emergen sake it's not like you'd get into a a a fighter plane and you know you're on Top Gun you're chasing down the migs and you can see how many hit points they have left was this the specific thing that Chris was famous for the original win Comm I mean before win one that was exactly how it worked you like oh the enemies at 5% 2% 1% and then he instead he came came up with oh you see the damage on the ship and you have your vdu that shows colors it's uh that's classic Chris robbert's
00:47:06
immersion uh John McFly could we get a bind for each flight mode rather than just a single mode change button so that sort of is comes back to like a longstanding contention with some of like General control and interface improvements for the game where uh a big part of that is sort of sorting out what you would think of is an action map which is just to the big list of what actions does the player the pilot someone in whatever specific seat need to take at a time uh so something like that is definitely something that we'd explore but we need to really get that whole list built out before we can start saying okay this gets a discrete keybind this gets a shared key bind this is like a nested action so uh it's still just building those things
00:47:55
out oh yeah so yeah because someone was uh a comment I had made I think a month or so ago in the chat was basically just regarding the the time duration insurance is the the current working plan is that would be based on your played time and not just real time going by so 6 months of our time like so from January to June that wouldn't be your insurance wiping out it' be how many hours are you putting into the game playing the game and that ticking down against you so you don't get penalized for taking a break go ah I should just dress again the insurance doesn't matter you will be readily able to insure your ship in the game yeah it is never a secret way to punish you uh and we're going to make it
00:48:43
we're going to make sure it is that way in the it's a huge money sink we're using it to keep all of you poor where were you going with that I was trying to be you yeah I'm just not good at it you just failed um could we possibly know the next Landing Zone after NX uh again if you watch if you check out the Tony zerc interview from ATV a couple weeks ago uh he States the next likely Landing Zone after NX is H say Hershey Hurston oh Hurston okay yeah uh Tony zerc lays out an entire road map in that interview it's about 32 minutes long uh split between two different ATVs uh he States that it's uh uh the first one that we've got AR corp
00:49:31
corp then Nicks then Hurston and then possibly Crusader but it all depends on what gets developed and what comes online but that's the that's the thinking right now the great thing about Tony is that he has this all thought through before he says anything it's never uh oh my God we have to do that it's always uh this is going to work uh and he knows exactly how so uh best check yourself for you Zer yourself we found a cat in the alley yesterday that cat's been in the alley a lot oh is that the lost cat though is that Simba I don't know there's signs everywhere they say lost cat Simba like that's sad that might have been Simba there was a $15,000 reward whoa grab one of those posters next time you
00:50:20
see it and bring it in here if it's that cat we're going that was a big fluffy that was a big fluffy beautiful cat yeah it is it could be it could be a Simba that could be a Simba yeah yeah you guys almost you guys missed out on like 15 grand then missed out on 15 we didn't know it was worth a 15 grand cat I would have gone over kitty kitty kitty that's money it's very fluffy uh will we be seeing will will we be whoa whoa slow down no no my eyes are just all getting will we be seeing an update to the mini puu login UI in particular way to queue into a full server that has your context in it uh By and By we we're working on that um eventually one of our priorities is the uh the grouping stuff um is coming no no release date yet but
00:51:11
it is coming I will say I had a email with Chris and Sandy over the weekend where we were like oh we were listing out our priorities for what our what are huge wins we could do near term um that was one of them another one was but the funny thing was another one was character customization you know get get some character customization there and there so we're not all the same bog guy and then like 2 Days Later the guys in Germany had the whole plan for it ready so uh I love the guys in Germany yes they're impossibly fast uh if you're asking one questions guys is it just me we giving out more Star season information when we're uh hopped up on y Tyler all Vanguard is the middle rack a permanent
00:52:00
change the middle rack is this the thing where people are mad about the wheel being different I don't know what the middle rack is yeah I'm not sure what they're referencing I do know that the Vanguard currently has uh its own uh missile racks yes that are that are size two and are lovely they also fit on an Avenger and a 325A and you can actually load up a 325A with them and have the ability to fire eight missiles at once which makes 325 pretty devastating right now um those probably aren't the final racks I was talking to John crew about it uh so they'll probably be changed at some point that's why they're just AIS quad rck and they'll have like a fancy definitive name to it but while they're in there you can have some fun this may have been the very specific answer to their question now that we think about
00:52:48
it maybe maybe oh that question's in German I can't read I don't know that uh hey Matt how hard is it to assign the new component system coming from Seven down to four sizes uh well actually in the long run the old system was going to drastically inflate Beyond seven sizes for internals so uh it wasn't actually that bad I worked a lot with Len just in getting the size standard set for these components so it's something that can scale really nicely uh across all our sizes of ships all the way up to some something gigantic like an Idris or a javelin or even up into like the Bengal and Pegasus uh why is the freelancer missile lock so
00:53:38
slow uh First Flight ready implementation plenty of stuff is still getting tuned and changed especially when it comes to things like uh missile locks uh targeting times a lot of that is just long-term balance and also remember that this is the stock version of a freighter version of freelance and you will be able to the compon the ship to improve like missile lock time so don't look to the St version of a ship to be the answer to all of your prayers you will be able to customize and kit it out yeah every single ship that we've sold so far is going to have plenty of different component and load out options beyond the stock equipment just what step the side no I'm just c yeah yeah okay um but I mean there's there's going to
00:54:28
be plenty of options where we're not we're not selling you something out of the box that has no room left to upgrade because it's already the best at what it could ever possibly do so I am just GL what you I was you say accept the cutless oh no no no I I'm just glad that our ships come with weapons CU as toast will remember back in the day when you went to buy a Galaxy or a centurion yeah nothing stock man nothing absolutely nothing well mean our stock yeah oh no we're talking about like Privateer you'd buy like if you if you saved up just enough money for the Centurion it would come with no guns so if you didn't have a few thousand credits over you had the best fighter with uh no Shields and no guns and no nothing and you you really you you spent so much effort saving up those 200,000
00:55:16
credits like I'm going to get the fancy ship first start no so sometimes it's fun just watching people uh like talk about the spitball figures and what a ship will cost or how much much time it would take to earn one and going I don't know what kind of what kind of Kit were you planning on getting with it when you got the hul right so I'm Sor yeah by the way hi for uh I got a few notes from people who were concerned about my health or well-being or uh life or death situation since I haven't been here in a while so thank you both of you I'm okay it's been out eating all the veite yeah well you know um it's no small thing to survive eating that much veite say toast iar your apartment has a working elevator that's a lie no it works now it does yeah I took it up last night oh let's see how up to date I am I just
00:56:06
kind of like learn to live without it I learned to live without it in that my apartment is now full of cardboard boxes that need to be thrown away our apartment has character we'll give it that our apartment is also full of cardboard boxes but that's just cuz I'm lazy uh yeah I'm in the point where I'm getting chills now um uh probably going to go home early I think yeah all right Todd papy Todd papy talked about applying components to the environments does that mean we can cut power or overheat doors to disable them uh I would actually have to see the exact quote or interview that Todd mentioned that in because a lot of those things like a lot of De comments will
00:56:56
just be taken as a small snippet of a larger explanation and you need all that context to really make sure it all makes sense uh basically we I don't we haven't seen the thing Todd Pap's talking about yet yeah yeah so we don't know yet it's like whatever I'm talking about you know how much I hate everyone who's ever flown a cutless and that's the only part of the interview they take out but yeah yeah like we we could be talking about all these improvements and then you'll just be like oh but I hate the cutless and then the whole thing a cut smar thread oh you can't see I was about to show you the picture but you won't be able to see it my father my almost 70 year old father plays Star Citizen and he flies a cutless and he sends me screenshots of his cutless like every week asking me questions about his cutless and when will when will this be like this and and he asked me about the
00:57:45
cutless UI and everything so so so trust me cutless guys have an inside man uh in my own father my dad does not play Star Citizen but every time I talked to him he asked me if we put on a new module yet so I get that at home too and then whenever my mom sees star SE in mentioned in like on Yahoo News she'll call me up why why are people so mean to you have no idea actually I've noticed something interesting since coming here so I've been here about um not quite a year and a half yet it's really only been a little bit more than a year and uh from the outside it's uh possible if not easy to soak up every last thing that the dev said and then try to fill in all the blanks by yourself what's amazing is that if
00:58:32
you've ever worked on any large software project you've got one team working on one module you've got another team working on another module they talk to each other where they have to interface but 90 95% of the time they spend on their own work um so like when I'm here I I've actually found that I have a harder time keeping up with everything that is said than when I was on the outside because 90 95% of my time is spent doing my work which is legal related work and not game design work so what's funny now is that I can go into chat and there are people who like literally if there was a post up they've read it and dissected it and digested it and have picked it apart you know six ways from Sunday maybe about 30 minutes after it's come out and I will get to read that when I go home right so um it's it's interesting being on the other
00:59:19
side and every once in a while you'll have come up with a question or an angle or a weird Corner case that no this particular might not have thought about that because he spent most of his time working on stuff that quite frankly you wouldn't be interested in watching you just want to know the end result but when you split up the amount of Mind space that a dev has versus what a backer has it's very different perspective I live with this I he's still alive to his credit we haven't talked about the sneak peek this week the sneak peek this week was in fact well it was labeled so there's not really too much of a mystery uh the M starf far in its gray box stage sitting in the in the newly expanded Rebel and York Hangar now the uh the screenshots were sent to us by Emer Switzer uh as he is still working on the lighting so for
01:00:09
folks are like oh the lighting doesn't look quite right that's because he's still working on it uh as with just about everything you see in Star Citizen it's a work in progress uh that is the graybox phase of the starf far uh gray box is the is the last stage before we we call what's hanger ready um it still hasn't gone through its texturing and all that stuff so people who are commenting on its texturing commenting on the lighting on the hanger it's all still working progress but that's what that is it's why we put the i in WIP also an X what well they're all well they're they're sick I'm demented
01:00:56
thanks it is the most depressing why don't you come on this side of the camera and say that Dennis hi you look like you're all like half asleep yeah we sick everyone's sick and I'm just trying to not breathe as much so I don't and I'm sitting behind them getting sick that's okay you live with us we should have gotten sick by now you probably have immune well you see that's the thing it's waiting for the weekend it's going to show up and utterly ruin my weekend my weekend last weekend it's still going how you doing Dennis I'm doing good I should do an offside version at your guys place like Mel place and just kind of we actually we actually disc we almost did reverse the verse from my apartment one time remember why our apartment is very Melos place you though it's got that same like Courtyard uh and I said everybody lives there oh I'm Still rocking window see
01:01:46
anything other than cardboard boxes up yep just still Rock the Windows phone yeah Yep looks like an Amazon fulfillment center all right an entire team ined whose job is supporting this one man's phone yeah it is the most powerful phone in existence and that wraps up this week's reverse the verse for Friday January 22nd 2016 uh thanks for watching we apologize for everything uh I'm Jared Huckaby it's Ben Lesnik it's Justin Chambers that's Matt Sherman that's toast and that's Dennis Dan Daniels and be sure to tune in next Wednesday when we'll all hopefully be recovered and we will be having a special reverse the verse with for subscribers with uh Sean Tracy Sean
01:02:34
Tracy the man himself um so bring all your technical questions this is the guy if you're interested in picking up a jean Scout they're going to be on sale right now um check out the interview with julan Anderson on the site um go play Star season 211 which should be uh hitting live server any minute now um have a good weekend everybody have a good weekend guys I don't know what this is this is why I'm doing this is finger wagging finally graduated to finger wagging and then finger guns man it's all about the guns show them your guns turn it off show your guns turn it off turn off so we can leave please tell me you got finger turet finger turet turn off so we can leave are we still rolling
