Uh basically started watching streamers and uh I wanted to participate and give them a

2. 00:01:13

   hand, so I asked them if they wanted me to moderate. They said yes and it kind of grew. So what does moderating channels mean to you? Uh for me, specifically it means uh giving back to the community, whether it's the streaming community or whether it's the Star Citizen community. Uh it's my way of uh helping out if I can. That's great. Now I also understand that you help out a lot of our streamers in another way. Why don't you tell me a bit about that? Well, I uh do a little fiddling around in After Effects and so you may have seen some of my work uh with Captain Richard. I do an intro hype video. Uh this his Star Citizen nightly news. I've done some stuff for Bad 699. It basically became something for fun that I was enjoying creating and people seem to like the work and I I just like being creative doing it. That is so cool.

   Well, Night Rider, thank you so much for taking the time out of your schedule and coming and hanging out with me. And for everyone else, let's find out what's going on this week in Star Citizen. Hey everybody, welcome to Quantum Questions, the part of our show where we take a real live CIG developer and submit them to some quantum questions. Our guest this week is Matt Intrieri, principal ship technical artist here at Cloud Imperium Games Los Angeles. How are you doing, Matt? I'm good. Laughing too hard here. Ready to answer some quantum questions?

4. 00:02:51

   Yes, I am. Bring it on. All right, Mr. Off-screen voice, please put 2 minutes on the clock. And go. What is your name and what do you do? Matthew Intrieri, I'm the principal ship technical artist. I oversee uh the ships and implementation of the setups and destruction, lighting, uh various factors. What's your involvement in the item 2.0 conversion? Uh I am part of the review process as the designers implement item 2.0. I will check to see if my damage still works, my lighting still works, uh if the ship is optimized enough. Um I come in at various points in that process.

5. 00:03:38

   How are interior damage states and powered lighting related? Uh we will be shutting off lighting to exterior parts as they get blown off the ship. Uh and also we change the lighting states in the interiors as the ship takes damage. How do you test vehicle storage in ships? How do we attach? How do you test vehicle storage in ships? Uh we have uh what are called C vars. We can type in uh give ourselves cargo and then check the grid and see the cargo pile up. What is landing gear compression? Landing gear compression is when you land on a say a planet and you see the landing gear squish as if the mechanics are taking the weight of the gears. So, I'm spending a lot of time on that right

6. 00:04:25

   now. How do you test ship-to-ship damage? Ship-to-ship damage, well, uh there seems to be an issue with ship-to-ship damage and I spent a day uh rubbing two ships together and tried to see how uh how how to make baby ships, I guess, but uh it was um unsuccessful and we're going to put a bug in on that. What's the most unusual bug you've ever seen, software or insect? The most unusual bug is usually uh you know, seeing things spinning out of control or uh gravity going wrong, you know, things like that. Just just unable to recover from uh from a dead spin or something like that, you know. We're done? That's it. Thank you very much.

   Made through eight eight or so questions. Well, for those keeping track at home, that was seven questions for Matt, which is pretty good as far as these segments go. He will be ranked up there against the rest of the team as we ask them so we can figure out who can answer the most quantum questions. With that, let's go over to Alexis to see what's happening on subconscious. Hello, everyone. I'm Alexis and I'd like to welcome you to Subconscious, the only mini show that dares to ask the hard question. Are you enjoying your constellations? The July ship of the month available for all subscribers to use for free is the mighty RSI Constellation. And so, what I want to know is, what are you going to

8. 00:06:00

   do about it, punks? Last month we saw some truly insane caterpillar tricks. Cat bowling, cat stacking, cat stuffing. Now, I want to know what kind of nonsense you're getting up to in your Connie's. We'll share some of the best examples here next week. Your vault update this week is more Knox. Knoxes, Knoxen, Knoxeritos. We're so happy everyone loves the design of this thing, and the vault is a great way to see how it came together. You can also look forward to more flare. Your next flare drop will be next Friday, July 14th. It's the next item in the space station hologram series, and I think you'll like this one. I'll reveal all the secrets in the next Subconscious. With that, everybody have fun with your constellations, make some crazy videos, and I'll see you in the den. Hey everybody, welcome to this week's

   top five and MVP. Let's get to it. Number five, the Crux Cup promo by Algrad. The Crux Cup is an annual race heading into its third year, and sign-ups are going on right now. We've got a spotlight piece filmed for an upcoming episode, but I thought they deserved a shout-out early as sign-ups are open right now. So, check it out. Number four, Race Day on Cellin by Citizen Trick. A compelling fan art image depicting a day at the races in the Star Citizen universe. I have no doubt this image will become a reality in the very near future. Number three, Cat Bowling by Diddy. The caterpillar was last month's subscriber ship of the month, and this video is everything we could have hoped would happen with more caterpillars in the universe. Now, this month's ship is the Constellation Andromeda, so uh what else you guys got? Number two, Nashville, Tennessee's inaugural Bar Citizen by Archer McQuaid.

10. 00:07:38

    Nashville held their very first Bar Citizen recently, and it's always a delight to see backer gatherings popping up in new places. There's probably a song I could sing about this. Here we go. And finally, number one in this week's MVP goes to Schmee and their 3D printed custom ship, the Manta. And one of my favorite things to see is the custom ships that Star Citizens design, but Schmee took the creation to the next level and brought it out into the real world. It's a compelling design that would make a thrilling addition to any display case. So, congratulations, Schmee. You're this week's MVP. Back to you, Tyler. A big thanks to Mad Intrepid and Nightrider as our special guest. And don't forget that another round of buyback tokens are coming soon. So, if

11. 00:08:26

    you've been saving yours, you better use it because they don't stack. That's all for this week's show. I'm Tyler Nolan, and I'll see you in the 'verse. Thank you for watching.
