- 00:05:28
to take me to the movie mom you got to take me movie and she show me to Star Trek 5 and she hated it she hated it so much so we're working through your issues again today so I would not have gotten a marshmallow dispenser thing if I if I even if I had known about it she would not have helped me to get it because of your parents divorce here is that you should eat more marshmallows yes what else we do this week lots of work on the monthly report we get off track so quickly Ally and I went to Starfleet Academy yes we did oh you guys did yes yeah that was the Japanese garden that we went to oh okay it's a water treatment facility which means that it smells like bad water but they built a beautiful Japanese garden around it and it was also the backdrop for Starfleet Academy oh B water bad water Darwin come on what what

- 00:10:23
this week uh had a um a nice a nice piece that was shot in Texas Us by our own Thomas Hennessy and Tyler Witkin uh chatting with QA about the continuing work on 2.4 and the interview with our new character art director Mr Josh Herman who came to us from Marvel Studios and has a a pretty a pretty impressive portfolio that was a really cool he all Spider-Man it's all mostly Iron Man actually strangely but uh but we're he's uh he's been here for well over a month now that interview was shot a couple weeks ago and he's actually in the UK working with the UK character art team at the moment and uh I'm really excited to having him on he uh I like the stuff he's been doing so far so I enjoyed that so far so far I still maintain that he could screw it up don't
- 00:11:11
screw it up Josh rman don't listen to anything never it's good life advice good life advice let's move on to 2.4 in the PTU 2.4 is still on the on the PTU the latest uh latest build is not showing a great Improvement on the network stuff so it's not likely to go live today we're we're still working in building hopefully we'll have some other stuff to test later today but it's all it's all in a holding pattern until we can get some of these blockers yeah uh Alexis can attest uh yesterday I was I was thoroughly uh amused watching Chris in Skype chat with the programmers and with the network Engineers you know walking through everything that they're doing to try to to try to improve our performance and and stuff uh from Hardware solutions to
- 00:12:00
software Solutions uh he's got a he's got an amazing grasp on every aspect he knows everything about how the game work I'm just watching this I'm like ho he really does know every you know one and zero of this game so uh so yeah they we we got our top men on the case as it were and uh still working top men I think I think Hennessy said top men yes I believe okay if I know my Hennessy after I said top men he said top men I couldn't hear him though if this were a Hennessy trivia game and I had to guess know my Hennessy I think that's what it would be all right so 2.4 still working still chugging away on the PTU moving on to the Drake Buccaneer been on sale all week yes uh uh doing very well actually I thought yeah there uh very excited about the show I'm a sucker for Drake I
- 00:12:48
really like Drake's SS um we had our first Q&A post uh go out yesterday uh with 11 questions instead of 10 uh Tyler wanted me to make a note that there was an extra question there uh and we can't thank Matt Sherman enough he's the uh The Man Behind the answers for those and in the second part of the Q Anda QA post that goes out as soon as the show is done uh there's a long letter from Matt Sherman in addition to the to the questions where he talks about the entire design process up to this point and how we involved the community and what our original design goals were and how they and how some of them changed and some of them stay the same coming from where we started to hear it's a pretty good read so check that out all part of the post that'll go out as soon as the show is done so uh yeah um that's our Drake Buccaneer update so we are getting right
- 00:13:38
into the question and answers guys just moving right along so we are taking our questions from the community in our RSI chat uh you can log on to robertsspaceindustries.com community chat and in the general tab you can post your questions and we'll do our best to answer them as they come in uh please preface your question with the word question in capital letter surrounded brackets it'll help me uh pick it out and as some people have already noted I turn auto scroll off so there's no reason to repeat your questions um I'm going to pick the ones that we can answer and ask them so uh ring has a question right off the bat it's about the caterpillar uh he would like to know if we can confirm that the caterpillar concept sale will contain four of the C uh cargo modules or will it be an empty hole like the
- 00:14:25
Retaliator base uh I don't think we can confirm either way well the ones that have been sold oh yeah the ones the ones that have been sold are the cargo versions so they should have cargo so anybody who owns a caterpillar at this moment yeah will get four cargo modules yeah is is it four or is it that's the question okay okay let's avoid the number let's avoid the number but say you'll get cargo modules yeah but it is a number but it is a number of cargo modules so uh i n doing your uh your your your transcript remember that I said we can't confirm the number yet somewhere someone fromn is just like weeping over their keyboard well I've been burned last couple weeks by a couple uh transcripts
- 00:15:14
so just makeing sure love you Inn everybody but divor I got I got I got no no just let it go let's see where it goes I I think I'm going to say what we're all thinking it's time to take the Canon Crow's hat off I'm not wearing a Canon Crow's hat I'm wearing my normal hat it's my normal hat I didn't know your hair was so long I'm Brown I just doing something different with it this week it looks good Jared don't let anyone tell you otherwise never stop wearing your hair like that I wish I could hear it no that's not true uh hell for high ass and I don't understand another question but maybe Ben does what qualifi what qualities of the shuin apps got the most
- 00:16:03
Chuckles the shuin apps the contest thing the oh applications apps I'm thinking you know phone apps and whatnot um for me it was the ones that dealt with you know the personal backstory of of the uh person uh the the the thing was you're supposed to write a backstory for your character and many people did but some people did not do that uh the F the folks who really put a lot of effort into the uh into their background lore uh some of them were pretty amusing and that generally gets my vote we saw a lot of memes you know all the old Star Citizen memes there was space Lube in there and uh yes space whales and yes all sorts of stuff that made us chuckle um some people apparently just see a form on the internet and they start like cursing into it for no reason I guess
- 00:16:52
that's just a human you know what sometimes you just need to type a bunch of swear words into a empty form submit it somewhere but maybe don't make sure the form isn't submitting a thing to us that then pops up with your picture and your personation uh no no uh no judgment uh AB asked a question that I said I would follow up on a million Mile High million mile high club item ports uh the intention is yes uh we we have haven't done any work on that yet but right now the current intention is yes uh AAS as a question for Alexis what is the status of the tube star map poster um we are ready to ship soon we're working out some
- 00:17:41
warehousing uh some last minute warehousing things so um I I think they'll probably be ready to ship in the next couple weeks um we just closed the we had a deadline if You' purchased one of the star apps a couple years ago we we needed to update your address um um there is a part in your account where you can confirm an address if you have an item like that that's ready to ship um we did send out an email to all those folks so if you're one of those people and you didn't confirm your address just submit a uh CS ticket and I can help you out um but that is just for the rolled ones it's not for the folded box box Maps or anything like that cool uh General Jolly has a question he says some time ago it was mentioned that if Consolidated outlands first ship the
- 00:18:28
Mustang did well that they would move on to larger ships did the Mustang do well and has there been any discussions about a multic crew Consolidated Outland ship Mustang did very well um and we are certainly looking at the next Consolidated Outland ship um as we kind of have a standard for multic crew now with the constellation we're definitely looking at building multi crew ships from other manufacturers um we have one in the works it's not the Consolidated outlands one but uh we we are at the fa instead of looking at new starters we're looking at new uh at that tier ship so uh I I expect sylus corner will uh he'll have his constellation killer at some point I know I know Silas got his name from your brother where did Corner come from uh I think I just pulled it from a
- 00:19:16
wing Commander pan is a sorry asking questions I know the answers too Wrath of reeside wants to know will the Reliant variance be on sale when 2.4 goes live uh I know the base will be on sale I don't I don't know if we're bringing back the variant at this point it's going to be the the starf the Gemini the Reliant base and the new gun and the new gun so and that we have our part of that all done the post is ready to go and if published we just are waiting for the uh the build to yes but uh it's it's one of those things where it's it's frustrating not to have it out now we would all love to have it out now but it's for the best that it's getting this attention that these bugs are being fixed now and
- 00:20:04
that's the whole point of the process but darn it do we ever want it to be done soon yes um dead way would like to know can the large living area in the caterpillar be swapped out for additional cargo space since the Command Module has beds and living weight uh if I remember our walkthrough with with kis correctly the habitat portion is is on the main part of the ship the M the primary hole so it so it it's not part of the the the four or three or two number unconfirmed number unconfirmed uh modules that can be swapped down so pretty sure the answer that two of those in each episode so you've used them all now the show isn't even halfway over uh oh somebody asked a when question um when is
- 00:20:55
Gamescom can't answer I'm sorry no would you did you say the buccaneer is lighter smaller than the Redeemer oh absolutely absolutely redeemer is a big guy yeah redeemer is a multi crew ship the Buccaneers is a single seat fighter I can answer this uh when you get there down who came up with the ATV fast forward music it's very peculiar just like you like father like son uh SHO incarnate asks for the buccaneer post who did the joke at the top about the pirate that was that was Jared that was a temp thing I was put it in there and and specifically told Ben we want to replace that asking questions about no I'm going down have you not watch our TV just have you not watched
- 00:21:45
Jared in anything we've ever done before that's unfair I avoid most questions about myself uh vacation would like to know Alexis can we get drinking horns themed from different ship manufacturers what is it like the things that a sniffle wizard was a dog wizard one of those Wizards we're making is that a Stein oh no the oh drinking horns are like or yeah uh Omar I'm just going to go ahead and say no probably not but it's a good idea oh is it no it is I just I don't I don't foresee us doing that I do see a question about jump point though hard cover jump point oh yeah another I'm I'm at the top I'm sorry okay um I'm just going in order we have not shipped jump Point yet it is
- 00:22:33
still in production had to make some edits to the layout yes the layout is being adjusted as soon as we have a clearer shipping date we're going to update all the folks that bought one it shouldn't be too long yeah you know sometimes dman has to go through a bunch of stuff yes it does so we're we know we're a bit delayed on that one but we are working on it how long until we see Ben and Sandy act actor figures asks Yoko actor figure row I'm I'm up for it if anybody wants to 3D print me uh Drager would like to know if we think Warner Brother should have shaved some money and cut the budget on Barber Shop 2 good job drar good job
- 00:23:23
uh that's a when question mvus your second when question you don't need to shame the one questions yeah I do yeah I do um uh Heist wants to know why was Alpha UEC and gear wiped in the PTU for build 2.4 why was it what wiped oh that's precisely the point of Al y we're going have plenty of times where it gets wiped um especially for the PTU stuff they're going to want to reset quite often mhm yeah now Alpha PC the reason we've created Alpha U as and not is so we can not touch your regular earned U and so they can wipe it Grant it increase it deflate it and will as we're testing different things yeah I guarantee we'll have points in the future where you log in and you have a
- 00:24:12
kajillion u for no reason and then there'll be other days where you don't have any and it's it's not part of the process yeah Alpha UE don't get attached the visual slogan I theual see I don't read every question but you still pointed it out to us because you guys are giving me crap for it I'm just giving you crap uh uh no no no no medas no medas no no no medas no medas no medas for those who bought Shields that cannot be equipped with the changes what is the plan resolution I think we put a little Matrix in the two three posts that shows what will happen uh the number of other
- 00:25:01
Shield generators you'll get depending on what you have right now yeah uh that's that's something that that Matt and Kirk and kaix and and one other username I can't remember right now are all working on that that conversion process for the for the old components into the new components so rest assured that there is a plan they're still developing it well no it's actually printed it's in the two three two two or two three points wherever we Premier the shield things there's the thing it says exactly what we're doing I mean for all the components for all the um uh what happens to the buccaneer item X if I upgrade melt the package after this Monday it should be fine if you do it after it's been attributed but not before so don't buy a Buccaneer and melt it before the sale ends yes on Sunday
- 00:25:49
we're going to announce what the winning item is and it's 5050 right now because we've had two days of uh each yeah two days of each yeah uh by by by by towards the end of business Sunday we'll know we'll have we'll have an idea what it is and uh we will attribute the item X to that item on Monday according to Mr Benjamin farell so on Monday you will see the item appear in your in your uh uh on the website when you look at your virtual hanger and you will have access to it in game if you bought it later this week uh it requires another platform backend Thing by Felix and he can't push that until Thursday of next week so uh hn Rexford would like to know the
- 00:26:38
buccaneer can it dock with the caterpillar know the answer can't talk by the caterpiller yet oh yeah we're still working on um will we get to read the winning entries uh well that's part of what we're yeah that's what part of what we're clearing is we want to share the winning entries with you and we have to get permission so um uh Alexis uh defos would like to know what is the status on the dog tax uh they are in production right now um and I'd say probably be ready to ship in three to four weeks uh derpin wolf would like to know
- 00:27:28
are there any more origin ships in the works yes we have one we're talking about right now I can't give any details yet though uh F9 would asks Ben we seem to get some insight into the pipeline from you in this past 10 for the developers thank you for answering my question by the way could you elaborate more on the ship Pipeline and what the method behind Madness of putting ships out like the caterpillar is when there is no Cargo in the game uh well there's all sorts of different reasons for things we do uh caterpillars because we have gotten to that stage of the ships we just built the uh starf far so we've that prototyped all the technology we need for ships that are that size we just finished the Drake uh style guide and uh component kit parts
- 00:28:18
for building ships and which you probably notice we've done the uh we're doing the heral right now we built the uh we working on the cutless and the all the Drake ships at once so you you'll tend to see ships Bunch up like that um sometimes there are Squadron 42 specific needs that we can't call out directly um but uh usually ships happen for a reason we're also not too far from cargo and one of the things we're going to need for cargo is uh ships to fly around cool like with most things there's more than one reason for anything worth doing um oh see I didn't see that I got this question last week and I didn't understand understand why it was being asked have you guys seen the new Goat Simulator DIC waste of space it gently
- 00:29:06
pokes fun at Star Citizen how does it poke fun at Star Citizen it's like a parody it's it's funny I thought we did talk about this last yeah I didn't understand why I asked you said waste of space I thought it I thought it was just like they were saying the game was a waste of space no no it's it's their their space parody game it's like our it's like Space Balls to our Star Wars got it so is it a parody of space games or is it a parody of star it's Space games in general but it's star CI specifically gets mentioned a bu or implied a bu so yeah I don't keep up on check out the driller it's funny um John rjo would like will the starf far glare mini see what you did there have its cockpit glass fixed for 2.4 live I can't promise 2.4 live but it's definitely an issue that's been bugged yes it has been reported I saw them talking about that and that that's
- 00:29:54
a good example of something that's probably not a blocker preventing two4 from launching but uh will be fixed by by in fact maybe I should point this out I should talk about this a little because I've seen it a bunch come up lately people like why why are you releasing patches with X Y and Z things still broken it'll be you know some spawn point that's not working or some ship function some weapon that doesn't attach right that's because those aren't what we categorize as a Blocker we we're not ignoring them they're all in the two- fix list and they will get attention as folks become available as that system is being worked on but they don't prevent the game from being played we we focus before we can go live we want to get to a point where we say okay you can actually play the game in a reasonable way uh just you can see the bottom of your the top of your head yes there there was
- 00:30:42
Sandy sign along the bottom hi Sandy hello how are you good how are you I'm doing well like my hair I know I wasn't going to comment but uh let's see we've all tried to avoid commenting on it and gently suggest he take it off he suggested once uh dragon ask status of a video tour of the new California offices uh it's on the plate we're just waiting we want Chris to do it we want Chris to do it and he's uh he's in Europe right now but when he gets back I'm sure he would do the Willy Wonka thing yeah it's Chris's baby he should be the one to show it off uh rogin rker would like to know if is there any chance of that top hat and monacle making it into clothing option maybe I'm trying to take a picture of
- 00:31:37
selfie oh gotta see what you do all right then exactly here is some corn no no we're getting derailed no no bring what section are we at where are we we in the question and answer where did you just pull corn from this is a happy teenage corn he plays basketball don't do this I asked the question is providing an answer high five Jared I'll have there'll be another thread so just go ahead and go create the thread now guys a classified would like to know if Thomas can play the guitar that's behind him of course he can he plays it every single day come play the guitar well
- 00:32:26
he's got his own microphone in there he's going to do a little onean show in the corner uh Daryl wants to know can you explain what is going on when we get all pads full even though they are empty that is one of the bugs we're working on in fact I think get one of the specific blockers the the spawn issue yeah uh I I other than saying it's it's a bug that we're aware I can't I can't explain why it's happening figuring out why it's happening is actually one of the things our folks are doing right now uh Bri base wants to know what happened to Mark aent will he be bug smashing next week yes uh Mark Mark was filling in for another developer who was uh in an accident and they were out for a couple days uh feeling spefically for 2.4 stuff um so we we figured we wouldn't waste his time with our community stuff while
- 00:33:15
he was focusing on that yeah I don't want to say it's going to be next week let let's let's let him do his work and we will get it as soon as as as he can spare the time for us yeah we always want to avoid stepping on the dev team's toes while they are while they're working on stuff like this hey but bug Smashers will return oh yes Z Mercury wants to know are there new hoodies planned there are wow uh we have some Squadron 42 hoodies that we are currently working on mhm can we tell them what color they are sure they're like they are like a uh like a like an grayish military green they're very cool yeah very
- 00:34:02
cool U uh Yoko has the same question Sandy had in this week's ATV when female models are in SE working on it working on it yeah lots of check-ins and shotgun this week about the female models and uh and one of our concept uh outsourcers Rob McKennon was actually in he's been in the studio this this week working on it live right here with every everybody else I've seen a lot of clothes for them too yes so it is in process although I do know that one thing they try to avoid with these Alpha versions is too much player choice which sounds sounds not inuitive but the reality is if you have U and we talk about specifically with sliders if you have a slider that has 10 different
- 00:34:50
points for you know view or uh whatever resolution or anything like that that a QA person has to test every single situation with five time or 10 times because there's these 10 different options so one thing you tend to see in game development proper game development we we are you know special crazy game development but in proper game development the options come much later in process yes because the systems are perfected by then and you know exactly what you're breaking when you add something to it so it's not to say that it's not coming it's just at this point in development we do try to keep as much of it simple uh warlust would like to know can the item placement Dots locations be turned on or off when so they are not visible in hangers when they're not needed uh my understand is that yes that's a that's
- 00:35:38
an immersion breaker just see a bunch of item Port dots all yeah see dots everywhere all the time so again it goes back to the features thing you try to keep right now we're trying to get them to work then we can work on turning them on and off uh shrike says so I noticed in the fast forward video this week that there is now a new way to enter the Avenger cockpit from the side how are we going to distinguish between ex exiting the cockpit into space and exiting the cockpit to reach the bed um that's part of the the the new overall UI stuff that uh that Zayn's working on the new um I can't remember the what the word is word for the taboc cono so you're replacing the use button with a with kind of like an inner monologue type thing that highlights options in the world around you uh so
- 00:36:26
they're they're working on that right now I've seen some look Dev coming along but uh it's not a new way to enter the Avenger from the side we've had that you've been able to enter the Avenger from the side in previous builds and the ladders were broken for a while and now the ladders are getting fixed the ladders uh the Avenger has a ladder that pops out of the side and it was there popping out for a while it was there at the beginning when it like first came in and then they redid the Avenger and it broke and now it's back uh you know had a good cool ladder fly the Navigator yes steps what so does our Shion Scout please don't Sue usy I don't think we copied the concept of ladders from them Marcus Perry has a question for for Ben on last week's
- 00:37:17
Ben's day Ben said the Mobi glass is supposed to be more like virtual reality and not augmented reality is this true no I don't think that's what I meant if I said that uh why don't you tell them what you meant regardless I don't remember what the question was though uh it it's supposed to my understanding is it's supposed to be more like augmented reality so uh cart asks will the hanger Arrangements done to on the PTU be transferred to the 2.4 live no they okay uh Kraken asks since the cutless is
- 00:38:07
no longer intended to be the Jack of all trades what role will be its new Focus it's a or it's old pirate Raider yeah it's intended to you know raid convoys you take out the hull or some other carago ship you load up the stuff you want and you get out uh you might also want to check HVB from last week where Matt Sherman talks about all the ships in the Drake line and their specific role so he talks a bit about how he envisions the cutless to perform and what its role should be so ATV last week Jack spy asks is there plans to have the changing clothes suit armor as it is at the moment or will there be booths or cabins people can select their clothes and get changed there'll be more
- 00:38:56
customization down the road another great example of keeping it simple right now while we're implementing features and you know we we're doing some custos for the body and then you'll do the Armor after that it's a we're getting there uh the adversary asks will you be expanding the number of people on the PTU soon uh that's generally determined by game support and what their needs are yeah yeah we we don't do the PTU to advertise or anything like that uh the minute they say we need another group of people we will let them in um they seem to be pretty happy with what they have right now so we if they make the request we'll make it happen uh tromen asks is there an update on the reclaimer we haven't had an update since it was sent to be revised
- 00:39:43
because of a lack of landing gear uh no no update here I think it's still waiting for a tech designer uh Snoopy asks are is there any new information about the Star Citizen Hotel do we not see anything about it we've talked about it but there's so much information that it goes in every different direction uh we are in the Prototype stage and I'm just um emailed to see if we can try and get some kind of image for it because I know everybody's hankering to see it um so as soon as I know I will let everybody else know but it is happening they do have their prototype now that they're evaluating and right correct yeah uh Augustus Kon asks if I upgrade one of my current ships to a Buccaneer will I
- 00:40:33
get item X yes yes okay we that in the script we still need to talk to yeah we have to make sure tul knows that but we will make it happen uh hey Alexis are we ready to talk about the subf flare for this month yet uh no we'll talk about it for next week next [Laughter] week uh angree wants to know when we're going to show the dragonfly concept I know it's a when question but it's coming up yeah it's coming close T I think it's soon T close is a registered trademark is it really I have no idea oh see I scrolled and lost all my
- 00:41:21
oh my goodness uh Philly and Fir tracker would like to noce RSI have any more ships in the work possibly something between an aurora and a constellation maybe I don't think there is an RSI ship in the works right now well the Polaris polar the Polaris that's definitely not between an aurora and a constellation I mean we we certain there more rze ships in the future but for now um I know the arar is getting another look and we're going to do the variance of the constellation but nothing nothing you guys don't know about already uh has Sandy practiced is hiding with a cardboard box I know I saw that what does that mean from when you okay uh there's a video game series where you you sneak around hiding inside a carboard box ah I didn't get that we'll work on it
- 00:42:14
yeah I thought I did it but clearly not we'll do some cardboard box training at show set one of the cameras a little too low you see yes it's Hennessy's fault and it's it's got to be somebody else's fault we can't actually Jared was the one who right before we went live requested that I lower that camera down that is Jared did specifically request that hair shot here's k no that's one of the cornerer jokes uh spoof ghost asks will the Shion Scout see any revisions or upgrades potentially um you know I know we will look at it see about the other seat down the line but it won't be anything that
- 00:43:02
happens anytime soon yeah I mean no ship in the game is 100% they're all going to they're all going to see revisions and upgrades down line uh calichi has a question from our from our our old past here the caterpillar had been called the freelancer's evil twin but it seems to be much much more of a ship has this concept changed over time uh yeah it I would say it changed between initial imagination where it was just kind of an evil freelancer and then the the first drawings we did with Jim because it's been this starf far size ship ever since then at least uh so not not a massive change since you've seen it but
- 00:43:50
uh but it's it's like the starf is if it's the starf far's evil twin it's like Arnold Schwarz anger d Vito as twins that'll cause a post yep um uh Long Tree asks will we get a series on ATV about the Carrick being worked on uh working on it working on it yep carrick's going into active Dev shortly and we're going to follow it as it uh yes uh we're trying to get in on the ground floor and show you as much as we can because we know how much how much car love there is out there uh John Raju asks can we have a Sandy hoola girl for our Drake ship since she's the official spokes lady for Drake now he gets around a tight fitted dress
- 00:44:39
to a a grass skirt yeah although you haven't associated with Drake though besid besides the Jim Martin picture you you were also the you know the performance capture model for the cut that is correct but that's a little different from a holig girl yes maybe not a holig girl although there was a question earlier about Ben and Sandy action figures so what kind of action would that be like a t like a speaking action figure yeah they could each have little catchphrases like a Woody doll with a little Sandy and I are the original buzzl year and uh Woody yeah there we go Thomas andness has moved far away from his computer why is he so far he is shamed come back to us bacon of War asks will there be any new
- 00:45:29
Landing zones absolutely oh yes hundreds of them many new Landing zones uh the darkest Stig asks any large ship sales coming up anytime soon specifically the reclaimer when will you sell me the reclaimer then sell me the reclaimer he says going to be a little bit a little bit of time before the reclaimer but uh we are looking at bringing back the caterpillar in the not too distant future uh L says that he heard the ship being of physical Goods has moved to a USA location is that true and if so how far along is that uh no we're looking into options right now but it has not happened that is a mind bubbling
- 00:46:23
experience that I'm right in the middle of right now what to all well to all the countries that we ship to oh yes yeah I think it's more involved than people realize yeah uh ring asks can we confirm an anniversary sale will occur in 2016 yes yes we can confirm that almost always yeah assure that that will happen it's our anniversary it's coming so quick too can't believe this year is just flying by the last anniversary was just already uh rad asks any word on how we'll choose between the quick and slow in and exits uh that a for mention new use new flow for Z wish I could remember what what he was calling there's there's a name for this new type of system I can't remember
- 00:47:10
what it's called right now uh everybody's quite civilized it's quite nice well we use our RSI chat we we gave up using civilized chat yeah we abandoned twitch chat a couple months ago sorry twitch chat sorry twitch chat actually in fearness to Twitch chat it's been much more civilized since you stopped ask taking questions from there so maybe because the trolls are realize we don't pay attention to it where is the WWF championship belt I forgot anyway oh see I remember the hats you were supposed to bring the WW something belt that was close I almost said e is there a difference uh yeah yeah WWF became the WWE when the World Wildlife
- 00:47:57
Fund which C came after the WWF sued them oh and said it and said it was it was confusing people and because they were a charity even though they came later the judge ruled in their favor and forced the WWF to change their name to world to worldwide World Wrestling Entertainment it sounds to me like you just I think Jared implanted Wikipedia into his head I know I was like wow you were the actually guy about wrestling well no it sounds to me like you said oh yes there is a difference and then told us how it's the same thing the same thing that's where I was confused he just want to dis about his fact he had a fact ready all right Rasmus Kane has another question Ben in the newest uh Ben's Day video you suggested that the cutless was in your mind going through a pretty big
- 00:48:45
change care to elaborate no I said in that question I not going to elaborate plus see I didn't watch it I no I mean I I'm when it happens you'll know okay uh Spectre asks if we buy multiple Buccaneers will we get multiple attributes if you mean the items that the poster and the model and the and the gun is that what he means I I think he means can you buy multiple Buccaneers and get multiple guns multiple of the prize gun yeah yeah which yeah we if you have five bucaneers we'll give you five of the guns one per ship one per ship please buy five [ __ ] years uh any chance of a Brian Chambers bobblehead figurine one
- 00:49:33
day we will have Brian Chambers tevor the chairman I thought I was going to say that but I wasn't sure if you wanted to surprise question that's for the looking ahead Tom there he is okay yeah he ran away I having to model that hair bobbling would probably take up too much CPU can't have it competing with your r with your rir I like it I think I'm going to do this uh uh Nora asks how many more base ships are needed to be worked on before we start getting ship variants uh it's not an either or thing um you know they're starting to do some work on variants now uh we just we're putting out the Gemini in the yeah Gemini just just hit and then you we'll be looking at the Aurora and the 300
