- 00:04:00
talking about we're trying not to give spoilers okay no spoilers that movie has a will have a hard enough time being entertaining on its own without us ruining I thought we're talking about Big Fat Greek Wedding three aren't we or two two yeah that's what that's what we're talking about I I do have some legitimate questions about Big Fat Greek Wedding too does it take the events of the TV series as Canon or what there was a TV series there's a big after the fervor over the original movie there was like a TV series for like half a season oh oh maybe that's what they said like why it took 14 years I think it does take place after that did we get through the introduction but the original I really liked the first movie though I thought it was clever it was it was good it was a good time yeah it's just a victim of its own success everybody went crazy for it and then got backlash it's been a long week goodbye
- 00:04:52
everybody and you were all worried we'd make the show too formal I told you none of the fancy stuff was going to change nothing all right so this week uh 2.3 is on the PTU it's gone through a couple patches I think we had a day where we pushed out three patches in the same day week everybody's doing their work to try to get this patch out and into everybody's hands um it's got the starf far hang ready well we got a whole section for 2.3 we we'll wait for what 2.3 is when we get 2.3 what else did we do this week though what did we do what did we do this we what did we do this week can I look at my calendar we did a yeah go and look at the calendar okay tell you what I did this week I bought a box oh what's in the box I bought a box of strange treats from 1999 yes there was one treat I wanted
- 00:05:40
from 1999 and the only way I found it was in a box of treats from 1999 so so this is what I did we we got we got a Qui-Gon Jin dueling action spin pop candy what every child wants spin pop candy look at that and not to be outdone there's a Darth Mall and this is what happens to your lightsaber after after however many years it's been since 1999 I'm not math I don't know got something for you Alexis it's only been 17 years after me got something for you Alexis this is a queen amadala lip balm oh and then uh For You Justin you get you get a jar jar flavored lip balm this pend so I can wear it like a necklace you know I need I know for all

the uh Hennessy you can have a jar jar no not a jar jar a Darth Maul flavored lip balm wait can I have the Darth come get it wait let me have the Darth Maul one let him no it's no longer made in box he wants jar jar because he bought that board game and Ben can have an Anakin Pod racer helmet lip balm lip balms for everybody wow now this is POD racing so generous this is a ob Kenobi lightsaber pop okay I was thinking so you can suck on a lightsaber go suck on a light aaber then we have little grenades uh these are tiny Tarts oh my God these are film action containers with Queen amadala wait are they're grenades in Star Wars no no film all sealed yeah but it's probably
- 00:07:17
expired well we're going to find out are we going to try it I don't think we should eat this stuff I'm totally going to eat these things we should do can we do a taste test right now uh I don't think so because we have to make it for the rest of the show and then the Cuda gr the reason I bought this entire box of treats from 1999 is this masterpiece this is a Jar Jar Binks monster mouth candy tongue and and it's like a sucker and when you look at it you're like well how am I where where where's the sucker where's the sucker Jared do you know where this I've sh no you haven't sh that's the sucker that's just rough that's that is oh wait can you just like like start start sucking on that really quick
- 00:08:06
no it's got It's got plastic on it and it's looks very deteriorating and there's a part of it that wasn't covered in plastic you can't you can't suck on that without anybody being like jar have to go this is this is where it ends no this is this is part of the initiation hazing we're going to put Tyler through when he's here next week okay so Tyler's gonna stuck on that like what do you like put it sideways in your like I think you just make out with it but this was made somebody made this thing why would somebody make that that's not even like oh my God I can't if my kid came home and said it was sucking on that thing I'd be like yo listen there we go there we go so did you come up with what we did in the week uh yes by the way this smells delicious first of all you know Ali actually have
- 00:08:53
some candy that's older than this at home I have a uh Wing Commander 4 candy bar from 199 trade show it's in a little glass case give me some of those carts let's try them I'm telling you okay um you know we did a whole bunch of ship development work this week we signed off the uh spec for the buccaneer and the uh the uh dragonfly with some minor changes we the big debate we had midweek was whether you uh lean forward like a motorcycle or if you uh ride it like this like a Harley and uh there any uh we for uh leaning forward I I'll try what did we decide on leaning forward like a like a Japanese Speedy bike thing kind of like the uh the space
- 00:09:43
packs did they leave yeah cuz you know leaning back like this it just doesn't make sense and it makes less sense in a spaceship and it's like a I just see Lobo when I picture that nobody wants to think about logo I guarantee you Zach Snider think about right now it's true he's in with the DC Universe he could do it all right we going to try this candy okay everyone needs to try it at the same time just in case we all go down together no no no it tastes literally like carbo oh well once you get past the the expired outside once you get past the expired outside there's gold in those Hills um but more
- 00:10:31
importantly it's definitely not like there were too many at once you were the one that scored them in your mouth so I feel like it tastes like so your fault it tastes like soap it l does eat some Pepsi Lyman all right did we do anything else this week we had a live stream on Tuesday uh we we did a long and exciting interview with David ladyman and Ryan Archer um to help promote star Traders which uh ends on Sunday Kickstarter ends on Sunday uh if you haven't checked out star Traders yet do it it's it's a really cool board game um and they're good folks uh they're going to be doing their own eight hour live stream on Friday there's no Sunday which you can tune in to if you want to watch David ladyman and Ryan Archer talk for eight
- 00:11:21
hours uh what else did we do this week lots of stuff prepping for the starf far sale starf will go on sale when 2.3 hits public uh we got cool little uh oh yes story Adventure that's right I wrote the story Adventure you wrote a story adventure and uh uh um and and na Nathan dearsley uh worked his butt off to create a fantastic video that you're going to see uh with new original music composed by Pedro kamro he very proud of the guitars in this one it's it's the Pedro is working with Pedro is a delight and one of the the Delights is that you get once he says this is the final version you can expect at least four more versions once you get to final so but U it's it's got a vocal track with with with with with with a
- 00:12:11
gal singing in it and it's got some electric guitars buried in there uh it's a fantastic track we're we're really pleased with it and he he did it all while he was working to set up a whole new orchestral scoring session in April and what so so he did this am mix all this other work that he's doing so um we're really excited to get that video out for you and and Nathan did some great work on on the on the video for the starf far uh if you've seen the video we did around this time last year for the Retaliator it it it's along those lines but there's all kinds of new tech being shown uh used an AI system that generated realistic Bloom and flare and stuff that's um maybe we can get them on maybe we can get him to to Skype in for ATV next week or so and uh maybe he'll talk about it because there's a lot of new tech going on uh in in showcasing the starf in this video and
- 00:12:59
the starf uh we did a little magazine it's uh Nathan rendered out these cool images of NPCs in action in the starf far so you there's a guy Manning the turret people lounging around in the recck room or the bedroom and so on um so we we did a little like magazine pictorial story about a day in the life aboard a star fair and it uh it was heavily inspired by Stanley Kubrick's the seaf far sea we were sitting in office like what can we vit this on and star far sea far we watched it it's on YouTube it was like a documentary he shot early early early in his career um about the sea far is Union so uh we had a good time with the starf far stuff there's a there's a deck plan too uh in there it looks really cool yes and that will all go
- 00:13:48
with go live with uh when 23 goes live which uh we do not have a time for yet uh but uh we're ready for it to happen I believe they there's a one blocker preventing going live right now which is the AI spawn bug yes that happened this week uh infinite AI spawns uh folks were folks were in games and streams uh fighting 300 ships then 400 ships then 500 ships you're going to eat more like you literally look so sick just now like why are you eating those they're so nasty so that was a fun bug um we also had the blade Q&A this week right oh yeah we did one blade Q&A we got another one coming up later today I like two questions I do to do I got to Ping JN crew for the rest of the answers oh well you should do that quickly because their office is closed
- 00:14:37
today and it's night now I'll text them I'm working on that cool cig cig UK and cig found 42 UK and Germany are both closed for uh bank holidays Friday and Monday yes the Cs team wanted us to relay the message that uh because of that CS is closed for I guess today and Monday we also had uh visiting dignitaries here um we kind of did a Personnel Shuffle uh Chris is where fast three weeks Chris has been in uh UK overseeing Squadron and uh this past week Aaron and Tony were here oh you saw Aaron on uh you saw Aon on ATV this week right yeah and uh yeah it's weird cuz

they're never all in the same place Chris nortman are gone and and and uh Tony you're here and but next week Chris will be back yes and on Wednesday we'll be doing a subscriber RTV with him oh yeah that's an exciting review yes I would have been great for looking your head section well I'm sorry we hate your section sure what goes in the week and review and what goes looking can about stuff that's already happen the week review well but that's something we've been planning this week so hey that is my weekend review Crush my dreams when's the video coming out that I'm working on today well well actually I don't know when whenever the 2.3 goes live okay oh so we can't talk about it then we did talk oh right we just okay all right well I guess then that's that's the looking ahead section let's go to patch 2.3 Tom by the
- 00:16:16
way during the conversation where we were setting at the cameras Justin refer to Star Wars as spider wars no he didn't oh my it didn't it was thank you Ally it was like a jumbled mind switch switch wasn't referring to that like for real it was just a a jumble it was a jumble all right so since we've been talking about patch 2.3 patch 2.3 has the starf hanger ready has the Shion Scout flight ready that's made some great improvements over the course of PTU uh one of the great examples of the virtue of PTU is you know when when it came in the very first PTU patch it was slow and and blocky and we knew that when it was going in but you know the first patch is not the final patch it's a process so done some great work speeding it up uh I've seen videos of people racing through uh New Horizons
- 00:17:03
with it and stuff and it's becoming the Nimble agile two words that mean the same thing ship that it's supposed to be yes and it we'll continue to it here comes Tom yes uh so there's an error there's what there's an error because I didn't know that you changed the name of the stream to St Traders so they change it back to RPV so the stream is label oh change that is to stoping it start no just log into the website change on the website you log in twitch here I'll do it here okay well if you can do it without stop in fact I'm already logged in I'm doing it right here okay these are the kind of things that happen my goodness let's just cosplay David ladyb talk about 2.3
- 00:17:51
sorry um 2.3 no we already talk about 2.3 I can't help it open wants to stick to the topics well this is one of those informal moments it says reverse the verse now people refresh the browser say reverse the hoay yay now we're for real who we are good job everybody teamwork all right let's go to where's my spaceship don't sound too excited everybody there no he's not even at the computer where where he go all right we're going to Pretend We're where's my spaceship cuz it's all Ben where's my spaceship what spaceship are you curious about where is he actually he's just at the wrong computer where's my spaceship I'm
- 00:18:43
recording Things Fall Apart the center cannot hold the best all conviction honestly I feel like I'm going to what's with it's like I had three and I'm like so what's wrong with us so many things at one time myself I should have spent more time talking about that patch all right where's my spaceship we already talked a little bit about the dragonfly yes it's going to be a a vroom vroom a vom v motorcycl forward motorcyc the other ship that we've talked about in the past already is the possibility of a small minor ship any update with that yes the small minor ship is uh coming along very very well
- 00:19:32
um you guys are going to see it in the not too distant future um it's in the concept art stage right now okay um it started off looking just like uh the uh aluminum malard from space Quest 3 it's changed quite a bit from that original version um yeah I didn't think about that it did looked exactly like it except it was orange yes I didn't think about that comment in a shotgun and then Chris hated it yeah um but know it's it's coming along really well uh that will likely be the next concept sale we do likely bar baring inant because you know you you we aren't for sure until we sign off the final stage of the concept art but it's it's coming together very well okay uh
- 00:20:19
now that people have gotten their first Glimpse at at big ships with the uh with the starf there's common I see a lot is starf is cool but where's my Carrick so where's mccarrick uh Carrick is still scheduled for a uh design pass at the interior uh it needs a full full interior work up which uh is currently in gmach schedule gmach is finishing up the caterpillar now um which is taking a little bit longer than we'd initially scheduled uh between some of the changes they want to do to integrate stuff with the dragonfly and uh with him being out for a little bit uh for those of who don't know gach uh had an e injury so he's recuperating oh is that yeah he had surgery on is he oh he's doing very well and he specifically sent me a message
- 00:21:08
today actually now that we brought that up let me let me find it a gach no no he did he said are you sure you tell the fans today I'm sorry I couldn't be there to say hi was here actually yeah he yeah he actually tried to come in a couple days ago but he was in too much pain so he's working from home now yes uh but working on that caterpillar and uh it's going to be good are you getting ill I know I'm like what is happening all right so so caterpillars being being worked on uh it's gmach and uh and uh l1's helping out with that and so is Matt Sherman yeah design no not Matt Sherman KX Renault uh working out all the interior with all the new systems and whatnot and the caterpillars set to be our our our our Baseline for Drake ships going forward right yeah yeah they're
- 00:21:55
developing the style guide um it was funny because we we sent out a dra style guide to uh Jim Martin he's developing one of our ships and like but he's the one who came up with the colors in the first place he should know but uh it's all very formal now uh that's what happens as companies go on you start formalizing processes and stuff all right um so all all the other big ships are pretty much in the same boat the Orion the uh caterpillar will be the next I mean with the so the Idis is finishing up in UK um you know they're they're starting to do multiplayer tests and Squadron stuff with that um so that's that's a big ship that's coming in the not to distant future the javelin is very far along uh because it's also being used for squadron um but probably the next non-limited non-military big ship you'll
- 00:22:44
see in engine will be the caterpillar uh I said that weird um but before even that we have to make the starf far flyable which is one of the uh priorities right now as we now it's haer ready and folks are working on the uh the stuff what about some smaller ships that are still in the pipeline what what what are we waiting for uh any small Reliant is very close that's that's really close um it's just polishing at this point not going to be a two three but uh I would I would bet heavily that you will you'll see it in some form in two4 looks very cool I I like the I like the vertical aesthetic all right I think that's about it for our 's my spaceship at this time I'm sure we'll get more questions in the
- 00:23:31
question and answer period so let's go ahead and move on to the question and answer period This is where we take questions from the RSI chat uh so jump into RSI chat into the general Tab and preface your question with the word question and capital letters surrounded by brackets that'll help me pick it apart from all the other conversations that are going on and uh question number one right off the bat from Thomas 2 I'm guessing there's another Thomas in the chat that's why he's two any update on on a possible Aurora reward rework Aurora rework yes uh that that is in the longterm plan uh because of course the Aurora are technically our most popular Ship by some wide margin it will definitely get a nub up to the current state in fact that was one of the item we were scheduling out later in the year stuff uh with production as part of these Aaron Roberts meetings and the
- 00:24:20
rework was in there the uh Hornet f7a uh finishing uh so a bunch of stuff that is more housekeeping than big fzy reveal yes and to be clear the Aurora the Aurora rework that's hard to say Aurora rework has not started yet that's that's not just not a schedule it's just on a schedule same thing with the 300 rework same thing with any possible Hornet rework I think design has actually started some of the thinking for the 300 rework but no no art and no Tech designer yeah yeah um uh question from Xenon 93 since we've had Pedro an interview could you ask Jeff zelli for an interview as well I have considered that uh it's we don't have as easy access to Jeff as we do Pedro so um but that's something I will
- 00:25:07
pursue y that was another thing we were working on this week was setting up the uh the vendu language uh we're going to be bringing the the fellow who developed it in for uh some shooting and uh you have him give a vandu lesson that's cool yeah that's cool um I somebody asking about uh the UE patches shipping they will be shipping um they asked if they were on schedule to be delivered next month yep they'll be shipping in the next week or so cool in case you couldn't hear I don't know if you the mic's pick right back there but the uee patches will be shipping soon speaking of merchandise we have we sold out of star mops we have okay yes sorry for bringing that up but uh dog tags are still available
- 00:25:56
yes dog tags are still available they'll be available through the 4th so pick that up if you want a customize dog tag um and if you're missed out on a star map and really want one um send me a ticket and I can help you unless there's like 500 of you which now there will be which now there will be now there will be 500 gotcha see um Bojo asks how is the procedural generation coming along um really well yep uh uh I talked a little bit about that with Aaron Roberts in our ATV interview if it wasn't in the first half it'll be in the second half which airs next week so there's that uh sorry I'm trying to do two things at once
- 00:26:43
here my page is going away um for the Starfire sale ask py Boyington will there be other modules with the sale like a cargo module or are there any modules for sale along with the starf no no no no additional ones with this sale um this is just the hey the ship's hanger ready we're going to make it available again sale and uh we hadn't even been going to make that big a deal about the post but we saw this artwork that uh Nathan had been doing and uh somehow he got doing a trailer and it just made for a nice fancy post and we like any excuse where we get to write some lore and do some Universe building so gotcha somebody asked if I would include the times for uh ATV and RTV in our weekly comlink schedule and said I hadn't done it last two weeks so I just had to check and I'm like yeah
- 00:27:30
it's in there times are in there um I did talk to quantin I can't say his last name but he was part of the the the Ship Shape segment we did last week I talked to him a little bit yesterday uh about something a lot of people were asking about the fish tank that's supposed that was that was originally concepted into starf and he says that that will that is something they want to work on later on what if we I I actually know what some of the fish issues preventing that are right now yeah cuz I I went I went a great email thread it started like a week ago it's like fish persistence issues is the subject and it's it's flagged red just's like all you know they they're bring stuff into persistence in one of our branches for the The Hanger and uh there's some technical problem causing issues with the fish swimming back and forth so I saved that email in my INB back because
- 00:28:18
it was one of my favorites uh Ben would you like to talk about the price for the starf folks have are already seeing that the price is different on the CCU list yes I think we had talked about that a couple days ago um it's going to be 300 for the starf far this time around uh we sold it for very very very very cheap though initially the initial plan for the starf was that it was going to be you know a truck cab with a fuel tank um literally something of a flying Tinder Box and UK made it a much much larger ship similar did with the irus so um the price has to go up and we we've said that for a while that you know uh one of the virtues of support a ship in its concept stages that that will be the cheapest price yes yes this will not impact people who have already bought the starf far at all they they got it in
- 00:29:05
at the cheaper level um just new people and I mean I should warn now it's going to go up a similar amount for the flight ready sale so um this will still be the cheapest chance to get a starf far um yeah okay so I had a qu there was a question here I lost it I mean you know we hear about pricing for every sale ever um and it just it always is going to be what it is it's we know everybody would like a ship that's as cheap as possible and that has as many features as possible and that is as interesting as possible but it's always going to be a balance uh mule asks last week it was stated there would be a VR update where is it uh it's not what we stated last week I said that I would ask Brian to include it that's not the same as there
- 00:29:54
being there the same that there will be one I've checked in with Brian and and hopefully we'll see an update on the pro the uh the state of VR in next week's sh uh news from around the vers but again it's what they can talk about when they what they can talk about what they can't talk about guys yeah I think what one thing I folks what never really comes across is we are you know one one foot in backer territory and one foot in development territory a lot of the same things you wonder about are what we wonder about and it's uh I forget where I'm going with this but I it's hard long we we do for as much as things change and game development we do try to be certain that what we're what we're telling you at a
- 00:30:42
time is you know the the truth of that time and the truth and the truth that will persist on but it is an extremely difficult position to say to know what you know 400 people around the world are doing at any time and also to be able to act the relay that to you know 1.2 million people so uh especially when when when you say one thing then people hear some a slightly different thing at times so uh I had a question will there be punitive action for people who kill unmanned ships unman well I would say probably property damage yeah it's I can't go outside and blow cars without getting in trouble trust me I'm Dy um so uh maybe that's something we we
- 00:31:33
can we can ask Austin about since they're working on the Pu stuff uh any updates on the ship spec page rework uh yeah I've SE I've seen the mockup that turbulent wants to do it's one of many things that turbulent has in the pipe to work on uh no ETA it's probably not our highest priority thing at the moment but they have they have worked it up they have a plan in place and uh they're working towards it they're pretty uh pretty dedicated to this persistence crossover thing one of the things that as we move towards persistence in the game u a lot of services and features that are currently run through the platform that's the fancy word for website a lot of the things that happen there such as melts and sales and credit purchases and so on um ship transfers
- 00:32:24
moving stuff around in your hanger blah blah blah all is going from you know kind of the spitting glue platform side stuff we developed initially to get it out there to inside the game so there's a there's a a lot of turbulence bandwidth right now is interacting with the folks in Austin who are bringing that into the game figuring out what they can and can't do right now uh so uh if you're wondering what turbul is working on right now that's that's a big part of it uh any progress on Merlin docking with the constellation I have not seen anything on the Morland a while I don't think folks working on that this week I mean I saw that demo they did where it Docks but I I don't think that's been put into production or really come close to it uh Shadow the
- 00:33:18
ol Ulf ol Shadow the ol wants to know if the m5a which is a a weapon part of the Cal I think will come to elic access with the release of the card to all no um not immediately we we we will go back and integrate a lot of the Legacy parts that we've introduced uh in the nadition future 24 is a major major change to components that's kind of you know we we've been playing with individual component systems changing these two I think it's the it's the crest of the wave this next one so you'll see a bunch more components then with 2 three we are adding two engines I believe there's two up engine upgrades that are coming yes here's a question for Alexis Dark Moon would like to know is the map that was sold separately the same as the one in the old physical packages um no so what
- 00:34:09
we did was um we had lots of people asking us who bought this we offered the you know in the physical packages we had a folded star map right because a game box will have something like that in it um and then we also sold the star map separately as an item so so we are fulfilling the ones that were purchased separately we're going to do those as rolled Maps because we had so many requests for that since it was a standalone purchase wasn't part of a box um so it is the same subject on the map it's just going to be a slightly different version does that make sense it does does that make sense it does yeah okay so is the map different no the map is the same same said the subject the
- 00:34:57
subject matter is is the same layout the map is the same yes it's the same star map but it's a one's folded one yes the one in the game box is going to be folded to fit in the game box okay so the only difference is that it's folded versus yes and if you have a game box we aren't fulfilling those yet those will come a bit later you know with the rest of the Box contents okay I know I was seeing that question a lot I was trying to answer it where I was as I was seeing it last week um when questions probably aren't going to work guys uh uh how is Nicks coming along well uh they uh last I saw they did they did some they're doing some layout changes after some feedback from
- 00:35:45
from the team in Austin uh behavior is working on that it's coming along great everything I've seen looks amazing uh yeah they just finished a new lighting pass I believe uh I've got a meeting with with Sandy and Tony next week where we're going to sit down and uh look at the schedule for that so I should know a little bit more then cool are you prepared to tell folks what company is making that mining that mining ship that we're T that we're we've been talking about yeah I actually told him yesterday MK it's MK MK MK which you probably could have figured out by looking at the space Quest 3 reference I made earlier and figur which our companies look like that or watching that show with back girl I do which I talked about it yesterday gotta I don't
- 00:36:33
understand why that show is becoming very popular but it seems to be it seems like the most dull thing in the world to watch me talk for half an hour he says in the middle of a show where he talks for an hour uh Pedro posted on the Facebook that the Star Citizen soundtrack would be available soon any ETA on when we might get our hands on it okay so uh I will point this out about Pedro you know you because this also came up earlier in the week where he was like oh you'll see the starf for video tomorrow he is thinking of things in terms of his internal due date um which is yes we we we told him oh we have to have the star track done by Thursday because we need to put this together we have to have the tracks for the soundtrack because they have to go to the factory and be printed
- 00:37:21
and then be put in the game box by this date uh not the same thing as that it will come out that date uh the the reason there is a deadline for the soundtrack though is for that exact reason we want to put everything in a box and ship it to folks um in the I I don't want to say immediate future but the not too distant future so U that's the deadline he's thinking of dragus wants to know when will we see what becomes of big Benny I need more footage uh there's a thread in official announcements we're collecting footage of big Benny people flying big Benny's machines all over the Galaxy we still need more footage so I can't tell you when that'll come because I can't tell you how fast people will supply me with footage but we need more footage of Benny everywhere and anywhere he's not supposed to be let's
- 00:38:09
see thanks cig for showing my back foot video well you're welcome see this we really enjoyed it that was a cool video yeah uh is there going to be any changes to how Collision Works probably what do you mean work perfectly uh nothing in the game is finally yet so that I would I would expect everything to to change and iterate somewhat um FC has a question for Alexis is the plan for the next three subscriber flares to be more plants uh well the next one's going to be a ship model because we do those every other month um so uh April is going to be a ship model and then may will be another plant so yep every other month you'll have a new plant for the next year I believe when in the month do those come out is it at the beginning of the month
- 00:38:56
it's the second Friday of every month gotcha so I have a schedule up in the subscriber Den which if you're not a subscriber you won't be able to see but it's sticki in the subscriber perk post um there I have some dates in there so become a subscriber that's right to get and to create great content like this top secret information Sheard wants to know what the next profession we could expect to see in the game is I I would say it's a tossup between Mining and uh cargo cargo y Trader merism I don't even know we call it uh both of which Aaron talks about in the second half of our interview AGB next week next week on ATV next week on
- 00:39:46
ATV I mean you'll also see more bounty hunting stuff as the reputation system grows but I'm not really counting that I'm thinking of professions as stuff like science and exploration and so on will starf far Gemini get prize update soon I don't know what that means I read it out loud in case somebody else knew what that meant price update price upate oh oh price update says prize update that makes more see that's why I read it out u s Gemini will go up the same amount so it'll be you know 100 bucks for uh hanger ready 100 bucks for flight ready but no plans for when it'll go on sale again no no no no plans well their
- 00:40:38
plans but they aren't ready for announcing yet uh folks asking about the Vandal language they might have joined after you mentioned it before yes uh the fellow who did the uh vandu language is going to be coming down here for some interviews um I well it's actually half interviews have to talk about other languages um but we're going to shoot some stuff about you know show you guys how you can speak vanuel I Kroger wants to know if is the cancellation of the Gamescom event at ework real what we never we didn't we didn't cancel it because it was not no no we we we never we never set up yes yeah there there won't be the big party like like
- 00:41:24
we used like like there won't be the big presentation this the thing we're dropping is the planed presentation because we don't want the team working for a month to get to that we we want everybody working straight through on uh squatter and well whatever patch we're up to then 5 35 23 2 4 2 27 or whatever we're at then um but we will be having several social Gatherings uh everybody will be there Chris us uh Sandy David Swafford um we're going to have a full-size Booth this time on the Gamescom show floor for uh any anybody who's attending the show and then we'll have offsite uh get togethers with backers um and we will We There there will be smaller presentations that we will have some cool stuff to show especially I think with the procedural Tech that's going to be ready by then
- 00:42:13
um but uh we're not we didn't rent ewor this time is the only difference okay any updates on the Herold yes uh Harold is in active development right now um it went through a minor design thing earlier this week uh because I know I had to sign off on some stuff and Chris had too and we both weighed in on some changes to a little bit of the outer look uh you you'll be seeing more about that in a too distant future the folks who are working on the Scout are now handling the herald and we are uh we're we're paying special attention this time which is why Chris and I are signing off on very specific elements of it to make
- 00:43:01
sure that nothing like the uh the seat thing happens again uh the Kronos one asks any progress on or 2.0 uh yes org 2.0 is part of a entire proposed revamp of our chat and Forum system so it's much bigger than than just here's the thing for orgs oh I saw the new Forum stuff their Building looks really cool yeah doesn't doesn't it um but it's all it's they're still working on the proposal still working out you know the all the plans for the for the technical Parts how it all links together but it's all part of a of a bigger proposal to replace the chat replace the forums basically the way that you communicate on our website so uh because we don't want to just develop something just for ORS we want to we want to develop a bespoke solution for our entire website so we can move away from vanilla forums
- 00:43:50
because vanilla forums of course has quite a few limitations uh so we can move away from the uh the chat uh the xmpp chat that's currently there uh so yeah so it's part of a much bigger thing so that's why it's taking as long as it is so they haven't started building it they're still designing it at this point um but hopefully that's something will have in place this year no ETA beyond that oh FC is fastcart thanks cig for the MVP thank you fastcart for uh for for a cool spreadsheet John erskin was a huge fan of that oh my gosh he he lost his he lost his stuff over that he he was talking to me he was like he was just talking with uh U our head of Business Development Carl Carl he was just talking with Carl Jones about how
- 00:44:38
they needed to put something to like that together and like and then I sent and then I sent him that link the same week he was having meetings with Carl Jones he's like this is awesome this is just what we were looking for so good job it also prompted Hennessy to break out in uh he played Tracy Chapman's fast car immediately after that ATV shoot this guitar perfect parody yeah oh he's about to gear it up right now oh yeah he's breaking out the guitar play on the guitar no n it's happening Lando what's your favorite ship to date my favorite chip for a long time has been the starf you might as well come play us a little bit come on camera so we can see you oh my god what he's no play more play more the the thing I envy about our viewers
- 00:45:27
is that they can't hear that that's why I saying come over here they can't hear it until he going to walk it over here you got to walk you got a copyright infringement you got to walk behind Ali and you can't say F I love the community I could I know I did oh I hate RTV since it got so formal they took out all the informality did somebody wait what is that what somebody just said they've been saying that for a couple weeks why Mr volog says was cargo Olympics just lore no cargo Olympics is something the uh designers have been talking about forever uh the fact that it would be coming out today
- 00:46:16
was lore SL fan it's not something we were planning to release any I was seeing that this week yeah not not a viral yes no the I talked to the writers about it they they set a date when they first came up with it and then when they realized hey we we have a lore story in the week that's the same as that date they just made the lore story about that but it was not a sign of anything happening today guys there's no cargo Olympics anything happening today so Edward K wants to know will we be able to fly out of our hanger anytime soon a darn good question I I don't know what the timeline for that is it it it's it's on the list it's one of those things we want right yes we
- 00:47:06
we do want you to be a to fly out of the AER I don't know I don't know do we uh then people will be free all right so for folks that weren't here at the beginning Alexis are the UE patches still on scheduled to ship next month yes they will be shipping in the next week or two okay uh did we put out the jump Point rerun this week no uh it'll be out later today okay was asking any didn't want to BU David ladyman I'm getting the images because he's busy with star Traders but I did mention it yeah uh any updates on the Redeemer or TGs ship no no updates uh
- 00:47:55
okay uh are we ever going to get citizen Con in the Montreal studio uh probably not citizen con the studios in Montreal well they are absolutely integral to the development of Star Citizen it's behavior and turbulent they're not actually our Studios they are contractors um so it it would be a lot harder for us to run a citizen con event there uh yeah we tend to run citizen cons in our backyard to minimize the uh the bandwidth necessary but if you wanted to bet on a fourth location for a future citizen con um I would I would think Frankfurt that is not the same as us saying the next con we'll be in Frankfurt people oh God I saw people asking about the uh
- 00:48:45
Anvil mouse pad yep I you can um yes those will be available soon we that was our sample if you saw photos of it um and they are being produced in the near future so we'll have uh pre-orders up in the next I'd say week or so was GMA cool with the colors he was yes um and I actually had talked to him you know we were concerned that it was a little purple looking and gmach said no it is purple he likes to kind of do uh you know inject a color into his concept art he was saying so did you see the thing the the mockup I did for the website did he see that picture we did no the photo yeah just cuz if he's particular on his colors I no but I was looking at it compared to the the actual thing and it was yeah it wasy okay cool yeah I know he's very handson

- 00:51:13
rewire lights so we all the old wires what we didn't realize at the time were coated in Asbestos and the reason we were removing them is because they were all used eses coating so we took so we took the old wires and we used to Flap each other with watch bigest Cloud we'd breathe it in and we we we we' swing them around like glassos and hit each other with them and stuff like that and then I had a little 6 in little piece of it and I used to chew on it like it was a piece of straw you know like like a farmer with a straw and I used go through the day just chewing on it fixation yeah yeah I had an or fixation yeah so you're taking anything away from all those commercials were like you may have mesoa if you've been exposed to I'm like yeah that's pretty much how I'm going to die oh my gosh I can't even no it's going to be the candy now it's going to be the candy with
