- 00:04:06
Community Hub uh that that should come out to you guys real soon it's very cool uh it's a great way to aggregate all the community generated content out there very excited about it um make wonderful world obsolete well no it it it makes Wonderful World a lot easier for me uh also uh worked on our uh just work on our Manchester poster that's coming along uh Mr Ben had a fantastic idea for can't say what it was can't say what it was but uh you'll see it you'll see it come siton uh Manchester posters shaping up a and uh yeah it's just uh I miss you too Chelsea a lot of fun oh yeah Hi Chelsea Hi Chelsea hello Chelsea hello Chelsea we miss you the csq misses you csq speak an update on that by the way
- 00:04:55
yes um so we're about 1,500 tickets behind everything coming out of Gamescom um folks in the UK are working their uh what do you call butt in England arsing their Ares off what do you call butt but in England um but uh if if you have a ticket waiting um they will get to it just not quickly as quickly as they can we want to make sure we give everyone time a day yeah we're not robots we should be robots though those people got just be robots it reminds me of like ey robot right I'll be both them and our uh our fearless marketing friend Alyssa is out SI today we hope she feels better soon um if you're watching this Alyssa
- 00:05:44
your life is sadder than we thought and we love you we love you we love you also yes that's not true I expected your life to be as sad as it actually is oh we should talk about the party party we're not then throwing Alyssa under the bus cuz she's not here we love Alyssa what party do what we Sunday oh that's right that's a part of our weekend review we we we we we we we threw uh Alexis a surprise birthday party surprise surprise birthday party so um Lando and I took her to the toy store while uh while James cuz we're adults James and Alyssa and uh Jack Hennessy uh he was Jack Hennessy yet no he was he was but we didn't know he was
- 00:06:32
Jack henness he became Jack Hennessy at the party um so they they decorated the uh house with Lisa Frank yeah yes flashing lights and Lisa Frank napkins and and I got the alcohol yes and James the alcohol by the way I ow you money for the alcohol you do there still vodka our yeah we didn't even touch the Vodka I'm pretty pissed yeah we over this weekend and drink tea podcast uh do we tell them the fun story yes we will get it there so uh we had a surprise party for Ally was fun um and uh so uh so L when I going driving uh driving Ali to the toy store we pull up next to uh some shoing head of Monica and uh goes is that Alysa and uh we all sure enough we all looked to the left and there is there is Alyssa
- 00:07:20
um wildly gesticulating apparently about to kill a man um it it seemed there had been some sort of traffic incident traff traffic incident traffic incident um and you know Alyssa um she has a distinct look um including white sunglasses pink hair um tatto is Alyssa um and so we go what would Alyssa be doing here in Santa Monica I don't know that's it's probably just somebody who looks like her yes it's important to note that Alyssa has no business being in Santa Monica on a Saturday she doesn't live in Santa Monica so we're trying to hide this the the surprise party and there's Alysa right there we're stuck in a traffic light we can't move I can't drive away if you don't don't live in Santa Monica you you don't want to come here on weekend so so we're we're at this light
- 00:08:10
for like four minutes it seems like 40 Ben and I trying to come up with excuses about how the it's probably not Alysa that can't be Alyssa because if it's Alysa it spoils a surprise why you hear talk we're like that's not her she doesn't wear black lipstick or have a tattoo in this place or something right and me meanwhile you know Lisa could be in danger yes I feel very very bad immediately afterwards because oh wait a minute did I just leave her to fight some man and sacrifice her for this the surprise party I think started off a little like you guys left on time I was a little late Alyssa calls me say she got in a car accident Hennessy calls me saying you can't find the place and I still have to go to BevMo to get alcohol I'm just like [ __ ] yes but ultimately let me tell you there was no fear that
- 00:08:59
was in any danger she that guy that guy was in danger so that's why we felt okay with it and ultimately worked out just fine some know why we're talking about our personal lives instead of our citizens uh that's what we do here uh actually one of my favorite things that I heard over and over in Germany was folks like joining this cuz it it's like we're part of your family we uh we share both star CI and our personal lives yeah um this is the community team's chance to just chat with you and get to know you and you get to know us mhm so if you want just Star Citizen um ATV for the most part ATV 10 for the chairman so this is one where we hang out we chat not everything has to be everything everything to everyone yep but I am all things to all
- 00:09:48
men I shall now shine my countenance Upon a Star Citizen question was that in my country you would have many wives that's another story that's another story all right 10 minutes that's usually the amount of time we we do for uh opening BS uh let's take a look at some questions uh question why isn't reverse the verse longer there's a good one to start this feels pretty long already doesn't it be LM to an hour already yeah as ridiculous as our lives seem on this show we we actually do have a lot of work to do pretty much all the time so as much as I would love to live stream 24/7 because this is one of the most fun things we do in the week uh yeah we've got meetings with after this uh our monthly Studio Tour is today uh today's a pretty busy day yeah usually
- 00:10:35
Fridays are our busiest yeah we yeah Fridays don't AR aren't like casual hang back days for us unfortunately um we're going to be chasing the FPS post after this FPS post um got a social meeting and our jump comes out today jump Point jump point he so there's a lot to do today what's going the social module uh know what's going to the social module with you um the guys in Austin are working on uh getting it to the PTU i' I've heard that it's close but we don't have a uh don't have a specific date to share yet um uh for those of you who were wondering about our downtime last night we've migrated the website so uh the website and Bun of our back Ender is now on Google Google GC I can't remember what the acronym is as you know every winter websites have to fly south to uh
- 00:11:25
to Mexico where they Roost and breed new websites and uh you know we've been keeping the RSI site from doing that all this time and now we're allowing it to go out into the world you just got to let that hang there for a second um what kind of money does cig get from Big tobacco oh cig Sig none oh my God sorry you read it out loud yeah I should have read it first yeah you should have that's what happens when I yeah all right sorry for hitting the table uh are volunteers needed for citizen con no I think we're good for citizen con um you know it's a smaller event uh Logistics wise um if that changes we will certainly let you know but uh I would
- 00:12:14
just if if you're going to CZ and con uh sit back and go the ride and the delightful British food that is sure to Delight bangers and match we cannot promise bers or match English Cuisine our apologies hey Jarrett why don't you say shave your beard J Jared what why doesn't Jared shave his beard uh there's absolutely no point or Reason to my beard it's just I got tired of trimming it at some point I'll wake up one morning and it'll just be gone could be tomorrow could be 6 months now is my favorite Co will we get a deep dive on sensor and radar mechanics in the Pu uh you will eventually possibly not next week but uh soon also possibly next week uh it's one we're talking about doing soon in the
- 00:13:03
near future yeah once the social module released will the fleet view be active for organizations uh no those are two distinct unrelated yeah unrelated systems uh so what the social module is um it's essentially your first steps into the Pu it's it's going to let you walk around our core with other players um just kind of to see what we've been building the you know you see the level of fidelity the you know the locations of the shops the Del of NPC interaction um and just the ability to do it seamlessly with other players uh and then we have you know a whole schedule for the next 18 months after that that goes from the social module to the Future uh and so you'll it'll be like AR Commander you'll see new features new features new features um I would say we're launching this one even earlier than we did AC kind of in the timeline uh you're really going to watch
- 00:13:52
this uh grow up yeah if you if you if you have any questions about what the social model module entails just watch the games com up it's what you see there is what we're pushing thanks Jared and I know Tony is writing a a piece about what this H from modul and where it's going that will come out with it I like Tony's posts okay um I don't think can we talk about the cargo module discrepancy and the Retaliator do we have that information I can I can talk about it but I can't answer the question oh where's my phone I'll show you my email so um I as promised on Twitter I I contacted our designers saying hey what's the deal with this what is the proper measurement which of course has just caused a spiraling reaction in which they're
- 00:14:38
remeasuring everything to make sure so uh the number will come but it won't come today will the Vanguard be variance or interchangeable modules uh variance uh I think it's much more exterior differences in interior for the uh Vari vard so the traditional Varian system you've been used to Y the VAR for the Vanguard yeah we should stress again that one is not replacing the other um there will always be variant ships and there will always be interchangeable ship guts ship guts ship guts will there be upgrades during the Vanguard variant sale uh you if you have an existing uh Vanguard you'll be able to upgrade it to uh either of the other two and I know the other question
- 00:15:26
everyone keeps asking is LTI question mark um I believe we did not announce the two Vanguard variants back in the origal sale I want to go and check first but if we did not then they will be offered with LTI if we did I know we've mentioned them since then but not at a time when you could have picked up two LTI base vanguards so we're going to go back and check the original messaging my thought is it probably will be LTI when will we know what was inside the Box Jarrett showed us a few days ago for the 10 for the chairman 10 for the chairman 10 for the chairman do we announce the names of the Vanguard variants yet yes uh standard Vanguard is the Vanguard Warden and then there's the Vanguard Sentinel and the Vanguard Harbinger yep and uh you saw the cockpit of the Vanguard Warden which is the base model at the seek peak of yesterday's
- 00:16:15
around the verse and you saw a little bit of the uh Sentinel on s's Facebook last night yes Jad Kad J Jad J read a question J no don't do your Chris Roberts live on the air saveing for the home the home just walk around your house by yourself what's the status on or youve never been married yeah what's the status on ORS 2.0 uh TBD you'll be hearing more probably a sayas in come yeah we get that probably every single week y the uh some of the top turbs are coming next week to uh talk about future stuff so I we have a better idea of timelines then yeah what are the current thoughts on
- 00:17:05
head or helmet Bob among cig is it intentional or a bug you guys haven't gotten around in fixing believe it's intentional in the FPS stuff right now um but I'm not sure what the long-term thought is uh it's one of those things where I I know it's in the game right now I don't know if it's something that Chris Robertson specifically said he wanted or didn't want so I can't uh can't say for sure where it's going no are there any plans for a tow truck ship uh well very much the uh The Crucible is the tow truck ship um we'll be seeing that at some point can we hope to see another career Deep dive in the future yes yes can't say what it'll cover yet yeah probably uh probably repair will'll be a big one
- 00:17:54
that's coming up and uh science science uh associated with either of those those two ships once they're done will we have to pay for a social module pass or is it available to all backers it'll be available all back well U let me uh first stress this one uh it will initially be available to about 2,000 backers because we need to do a very specific stress test World spread out around the world that they've they so when it goes to PTU it will be available for about 2,000 backers uh that have been pre-chosen uh just because of how it allows us to test the system and then shortly after that it will be available to everywhere um but no no no additional $5 pass for this one we see this one as um so like with with Arena Commander with uh star Marine you know we build them into the fiction as games you're playing in the star seon
- 00:18:43
Universe this is actually the star SE in universe so this is the very very first Beach head of what you pledged for initially and do you need Alp access to access it or will you get it just by backing I believe that everyone will get it just by backing um it's essentially part of the hanger cool it's like your hanger got big hanger got big and friends that's another one we want to point out you will not have shared hangers at first um if if you try to go into someone else's hanger it just takes you yours right now uh that will change in the future um it's on the timeline but uh for this first one it's the only shared area is our Corp and that's uh that's very intentional for what they're trying to learn about the servers and that's full of NPCs and other stuff interact with
- 00:19:32
yeah yep it has NPCs can you SL dance there are some emotes um I don't know that dance is one of them yet it better be where is the carto Scout is alive it is alive it's uh it's on our it's on our schedule we're uh y for those of you who haven't seen it there is a uh ship status page started by our own James Pew in the official announcement section on our official forums and that will be officially updated soon yes we're officially rejiggering our ship pipeline at the moment so they have to finish that work before we can do our updates officially yes but it's good news that we're rejiggering it means we're getting uh we're getting some more resources off Squad 42 to deliver some of the Pledge
- 00:20:20
ships sooner um it's uh it's all good stuff uh yeah so all of your ship status questions we don't have answers for for you at the moment it won't stop you from asking but um will our corporations have like a web service plus push messages for ueec transfers uh I mean maybe sorry I don't have the context for that one yeah uh no 2,000 players are are not picked by citizen numbers no they not not by number they're pre-selected yeah it's it has to do with uh locations and how far they are away from particular servers yeah it's all it's all sorts of
- 00:21:10
scientific QA stuff we don't understand uh there a very like B it's a very specific stress test to begin with someone wants to know James um no James flies every weekend for sure dude uh when are we going to see anti-alias being implemented I can't answer that yeah probably not anytime soon that's a that's an optimization and type thing that usually happens towards the end of development so it's just the game changes too much right now as we're building good point that's something to keep in mind is I know people want us to go through the Polish and stuff right now but it's kind of pointless if we're not feature complete yet yeah and it's it's always a struggle you know you like
- 00:21:57
why is the game out why is game out why haven't you polished stuff why haven't you polished why Haven you polished and it's it's a it's a constant battle we have to fight um never going to please everybody but uh try uh will the Endeavor concept be sold before citizen Con well that's just a covert uh that's just a covert date question isn't it um the answer is that all any concept will be sold once it goes through the design process um it's not based on any particular event or um anything like that um when we want to do a ship for an event we we do one that does not require additional design um uh so what I'm saying is that there there will be a ship R con it's not the Endeavor um it's possibly the Endeavor might go online right then but that's uh based on
- 00:22:46
design what if any revisions to the 300 series have been done none yet it's just uh on the schedule for a future look um uh I was talking to uh for cutless questions I was talking to Nick Elms about the cutless today uh no information yet but we're working on it oh and we want to thank um Clifford for uh the Fantastic fruit pket yeah we're that fruit go get that fruit James where that fruit where that fruit where that fruit get the shirt yep that shirt James is wearing is from Star Citizen organization the UTS it's got his name on the back I noticed that everybody here got a share with their name on the back that's except me
- 00:23:35
except us oh hanging whatever whatever I don't need your high fives to feel good about myself you missed the high five opportunity we got fruit now you can watch us see fruit why is so fruit I'm going to eat his star shap a Star Citizen C aka me likes to send us fruit really thank you so much I've seen these around before I didn't know that they were from he's very good at timing them to arve just before vers verse too I'm going to put it over here kiwi too it's what sort of MPC population will the social module be released with very I'm un sure small population very very very small at this point
- 00:24:24
M more on that for you when it right right now it's more important to get people in than NPCs M I should say um it's all awesome in Behavior they've uh you know we we've talked about this distributor development stuff in the past we've said you know people are still working on this module while this one may be delayed or this one's whatever um this is you're actually going to be seeing it they they've been working in quiet dignity on this for quite a while and uh it's going to pay off very important question has Lisa finally accepted ship shape as her nickname I'm actually pretty neutral to it I think it's funny but I'm I'm probably never going to introduce myself that way you tell how funny she thinks it is I do I mean I I don't laugh uncontrollably at every memory of something funny I've ever heard or at
- 00:25:11
all but I I actually do respond to it people will occasionally call me ship shaper on the office like yeah mostly these guys down here people upstairs don't know oh will we be able to use NPCs in Arena Commander 2.0 as gunners don't know probably not first release but uh down the line Y again the priority is getting people in first cuz that I mean the real technical challenge is getting as many people playing the game as we can in one place um so that's what a lot of our public facing stuff is uh focused around um update on the Arrow view elevator bug fix nothing specific but elevators are an important part of the uh social
- 00:25:58
module so take some Vanguard questions obviously we can't tell you that much but um GMU is um working on some of the images that we're going to be sharing when it's um when we when we reveal everything and um it's looking awesome so you'll find out more soon it's not for me right now uh let's see I you all at drinking how much would have to save up to for the Bill I'm a lightweight so I'd probably need one drink I only drink soda so maybe two I'm cheap I'm not a big drinker either but James will drink for all us you guys are giving the most boring answer yeah we're not part my answer is it takes you one
- 00:26:46
drink two or three yes James James left the room because he's currently watching alens if I haven't had anything like if I had my she that day like a busy day at work it's like 1 and I'm gone and other nights I'm like re for like where did this come from uh for the question about the ability to add friends to the lobby and also an invite so we can recreate without the lobby um I don't have any you have any info on the lobby system the friend system for rink yeah no yeah that's all I'll I'll send something up to flag pole we don't have an answer for during this episode but I'll see what I can find out um so we've been working on a a ship schedule recently and not none of this is signed off on yet but some of the ones that we are hoping to potentially
- 00:27:36
if this gets signed off on start at least before the end of the year I think Shan Scout might have been on there that was a attender I think the Reliant was a contender um trying to remember my head is swimming with ships right now I'm trying to give you guys something and again this could all change people you know people could look at it the powers the be and be like no we need you know I know I've got one of those no meetings with a and Roberts next week I think uh uh no the Vanguard will not be hanger ready next week this is just a concept sale for the variants it's no indication of the current hanger ready status of the primary Vanguard um some question about some Shields not working I'm not sure if it's
- 00:28:25
the exact same issue Mustang Delta people said the must Shields haven't worked for8 months we have someone who's doing a bunch of Shield bug fixes right now yeah I mean I I can also take a look at the data the data for the shield should be right if there's something else with the ship acting up that'll be something we have to look into so hav't seen many reports on that though but we'll take a look uh and nothing about schedule guys next hanger ready ship stuff like that can't tell can't can't really say anything about that yeah in general you're going to want to avoid any schedule related questions no matter how clever you ask yes the answer is always almost always going to be we can't tell you hi Dan
- 00:29:12
kensy hello how are you doing welcome what are you working on lately start doing yep he's working on the heral will will the constellation get modules I possibly I don't really want to like pre confirm anything that we don't have really all locked in uh like the Retaliator modules we had a good idea on what those were going to be uh once anything else gets set for a specific ship we can and that'll be when we can share it with you guys again guys no schedule questions when this when that can't answer any news on the blitz racing
- 00:30:03
mode no news okay I don't even know what it is is FPS slated to be out before or after AC 2.0 again that's a cal calendar question and we're not going to answer it um yeah when is FPS lady to be out months ago so yes was slight to be 2.0 uh we I I believe that's pretty much still The Hope um it's a matter of uh it's redoing the animations right now uh we are we're waiting for our report from Jason Hutchins right now to find out how that's going uh but they are they're independent at this point um AC 2.0 has the tech it needs uh from the FPS
- 00:30:51
development and uh we'll let you know is cig aware that the glitch 's leftwing missile is only firing backwards yes I have seen that one you yes has been brought up quite a few times there a lot of social module questions I have no idea yeah we're not able to answer many social module questions um touch it partially because it's it's a thing that you're going to experience very soon um and largely because it's do work of the guys in Austin and uh it would do them a disservice to uh try and answer it when we don't know majority of the people who who work on that are in the Austin office so we're not as helpful in that regard here here's a gimme did Ben enjoy his wing Commander SLE cast on Inn yes I have a lot of fun doing that um I hope
- 00:31:40
you guys enjoyed listening to me um I would love to do again sometime um so thank thank you to the guys at Inn for uh hosting that when you say do it again you mean watch the same movie and talk about it again sure no no we could do we could do iner Academy the show we could do play through of the games um you guys still need to do a movies James hasn't seen but should have that's there's not enough time in the day that's like a 72h hour weekend still a good idea someone asked a question about the status of the herald I went to BU I didn't buy too fast and I didn't see it but we do have um some artists working on it right now and we have a design review this afternoon just to make sure that you know everything's in line with what design ons out of the ship so we are still actively making progress on that Dan He Saw earlier and Paul for
- 00:32:28
are working on that ship right now so status is being worked on and yeah and looking awesome uh for the questions about the Frankfurt Studio being featured and there was one specifically about Paul Randell being featured uh we don't compel anybody to be on the shows uh we invite sometimes very often uh some folks just aren't interested in being on camera they'd rather work and we appreciate that tremendously so so we don't force anybody to be on the shows someone asked about who's going to be at citizen con I think it's mostly going to be people from our UK office cuz it's really close however I am campaigning to be sent to help because I've done a lot of events and I want to go so cross your fingers for me be mostly Manchester people and S and
- 00:33:17
Chris for sure because I saw the question at least pop up in the twitch chat a few times uh people asking about a passive auto aim function on any gimbals uh more than likely no it will not be a embedded function of gimbals uh we are looking at some things where you can get a additional targeting computer that you can plug onto a Hardo but that's going to have its own cost for any you know a assist functionality it may carry over and even that is still subject to tuning in implementation so if it's something that we do offer it's going to have a tangible power and po cost to uh be usedful and here's an odd one someone mentioned having Mark Hamill play week Commander 3 and four um I worked on a
- 00:34:07
terrible uh Xbox Live arcade wiek commander game for Electronic Arts some some years back um and we actually had Mark haml all set up to do a commercial for the game but the sticking point came to the fact that he did not want to play a video game on camera and uh that it it killed the uh the ad uh so it it was just a weird thing he he did not want to play video game for people um I guess that was before the Advent of uh streaming but he's one of those people that take the controller up here like when you yell to your little brother why are you moving the controller up here that was Mark hell so nobody wants to see that and no we are not sending Darian to Australia he is integral to Arena Commander among other things and everything would fall apart if he went down there
- 00:34:59
you know we' come back with some koala disease too let's see what else we got people saying they remember W Commander Arena the side L was really good I did that whole manual uh I did all the lore in W Commander Arena uh I didn't uh I didn't get credit for it at the time but so speaking of famous people who are not Gamers playing video games there's a segment called Clueless gamer and I think it's um yeah and yeah it's Conan O'Brien and he plays he's not a gamer and um he reacts to them in funny ways and is usually not very good at them we should put stor some on this game that's what I think I think that would be hilarious no my exp nether reacting I'm like
- 00:35:45
waiting oh that's okay my explanation of how Mark Hill plays video games was not serious contrary to rumors on Reddit we we actually do not see Mar that I still think we should do it no whether or not that was a serious story yeah we we don't hang out with Mark Hill unfortunately although the guy who played Seether in wi Commander 4 apparently has an acting studio like a block from here really yes Robert russler Babylon 5's fighter pilot guy for one season yeah yeah just I'm just I'm kicking around the idea of learning acting from Robert russler yeah let's go to Robert Rustler's acting studio after this uh will the controls be able to be made like War Thunder has rather than like
- 00:36:36
Star conflicts controls well I I don't know either of those references yeah controls are just an ongoing thing and a big part of it though is we always we really want anyone to be able to find the right tuning and setup for their personal taste without having any one de facto standard of this is the iwing button thumbs up did anyone at cig read the Inn blog article that included the sitech Q&A I did yeah it was good y I even told them good job you can see it it's on Reddit I said good job someone's asking about the ladder on the Retaliator um that would be a question for the UK since I believe they're working on the ship right now I'm sure there's a place on Forum somewhere to
- 00:37:23
suggest that I'll bring it up next time we talk to them but um how do they extend the blades on the glaive uh it should be set to weapon group three and then treated like a missile uh if that is not working uh please do post a bug to the bug report form so we can take a look at that and find out what went up with the weaping groups someone was asking about the Reliant again um so I'll I'll say it again um I don't they were saying is it not being fast-tracked I don't know exactly what that means but um we do have we do have people pencil to be starting on it before the end of the year so um it should get made you know relatively soon U there the person asking if that was the random Babylon five pilot who showed up in the credits for season yes I think it was season two
- 00:38:12
um he seemed to have no connection to any of the characters and existed only to be killed um there's not been any progress of the Drake Dragon play yet although I don't think we have a new batch of Concepts identified so um I can't say for sure but it's on the short list it's on it's on the short list but I think like I said in a previous R TV um we we would want some extra design work on that in the earlier stages just to make sure like the functionality something that works with everything else and and so I don't know I'd have to find out if we have the bandwidth for that and if not it wouldn't make sense to do the D dragonfly yet unfortunately but again I promise you as soon as we do that will be one of the first ships we did sound
- 00:39:00
excited about it yeah the last ships in this last wave to be done The Crucible the ende deor and the prowler uh Prowler y Prowler y Al we'll be kicking off the prowler and probably a couple others that folks don't know about yet uh once the Endeavor and the cruise are done so there's always more ships um where is Sandy Garner she's actually in her office in a Skype meeting right now yep door's closed so we were being loud so closed the door um here's a good question does Sig intend to have the St is focus on specific ship manufacturers for example where Santa Monica work on Drake shs Foundry 42 on the Aegis Etc and that is something we've talked about and that is something that we're trying in the next several ships that we have in the next several ships that the UK has um are are all of the same several manufacturers um
- 00:39:49
the idea being you know every artist has you know certain Styles or at least strengths and we want to play to those um so that's a that's a good question that is something that we're doing right now and we're going to see how it goes uh are the Connie pins from Gamescom available any other way no those were games come exclusive I have a handful of extras I'm going to bring to Dragon Con uh in about two weeks um and if you see me at the con I will be happy to give you one but uh we are we only have a couple left here's another good question uh very eloquently phrased freelancer so the freelancer has been handed off to the UK they were going to finish that ship up in in accordance what I just said um sort of spitting up the manufacturers a little bit we handed it off not too long ago I do not recall off the top of my head if they are
- 00:40:38
working on that right now or coming up but I know that it is one of the next several they're going to be working on if they are not currently I can try to find out and let you guys know next week what's Lisa talking about C stuff chip stuff um why do the glaive S5 weapons make no damage uh their actual damage per shot is I think right now like some of the highest in the game it's just their rate of fire and their lifespan make them a little bit more problematic to use uh damage per shot is the big thing to care about not just a raw DPS of damage times rate of fire because DPS doesn't cons
- 00:41:34
accuracy constellation question mark since the freelancer work well you guys saw the constellation in the demo so you know we're working on it yeah we have we still have people working on it we have not stopped progress since games come we've had um the same two guys Chris and Josh out in Texas continue working on it and they had a pretty good segment in around the verse three or four weeks ago if you want to check it out with lots of images of the new uh constellation rework if you haven't seen it Alexis why are you so awesome and then some picture with heart eyes and hands like this just and I think ears natural inclination any chance of Sig underwear no zero chance you don't want to see the Chris
- 00:42:22
Roberts modeling photos for that one and we don't want to take them oh Matt I know you're not much of a dog fighter but have you actually flown the Scyther glaive yeah uh not as much as other ships I wasn't the primary designer hooking those up but I mean I have flown them I I know how they handle so he knows how to handle himself there's another question which I will begrudgingly answer caterpillar and the answer to that is I think um according to the schedule which again has not been 100% signed off on um we're going to have some La people start working on that uh sometime after New Year so not anytime super soon but um but you know not further away as it could be all they've started doing now is asking
- 00:43:11
saying the name of the ship with question easier it makes it easier and here's the thing if you ask me a ship and a bunch of question marks if I have any idea and we're starting to get new information is we pieing together the schedule I will answer it and if I don't I won't unless you keep asking it in which case I'll say I don't know no stop asking Matt Sherman clling on no car I don't have any updates on that bu people to ask that one you can do that Jared what would you say they should experience Jared that was to be or not to be Star Trek 6 I know and I was referencing the Star Trek VHS uh board game experience be yeah by the way side note here if you haven't experienced the Star Trek interactive VCR board game with Robert O'Reilly the the actor playing who
- 00:44:02
played gon playing a completely different Klingon name kovak who looks and sounds exactly the same as gon turns out he only had one Kling on he could play it's it's quite entertaining just don't play with toast he will betray you um I see have a question about the ship status page I can't speak to 100% because that is community team's uh realm they're asking about if bugs are going to be included and I don't think there are any plans for that right now that seems like it would be a lot more work for everyone yeah it's not about this like significantly more work to add that than just to give statuses it's a status of their development Shakespeare you don't want to start me on Shakespeare I know an unfortunate amount of Shakespeare so the other about have a Shakespeare off after this uh Shakespeare off so the Scythe in the
- 00:44:51
Glade should have really crazy handling but a big part of that is the tradeoff that they only get fixed weapons so to that's why their handling is a bit a good morning and I looked at that and I was like a sharper replica they have in okay yeah this was um I promise I'll keep this quick but now I'm excited about it we're talking about Shakespeare last year when I went to Gamescom I took off some vacation time afterwards and I went to London and Paris and i' had never been to Europe before and it was amazing and I went to um let make sure I don't have any identifying information on here and I went to the Globe Theater and I saw a play by Shakespeare I saw Anthony and Cleopatra pretty good all right back to ships will there be Shakespeare in the
- 00:45:40
park in 2944 yeah we're we're in 2945 now yeah we are in 2945 now so I'm so everyone's getting mad they're like why are you talking over I'm so sorry keep going can we please have a sneak peek of Mother Nature in the universe of Star Citizen industrial overload well it still looks the same grass is still grass um but you we will see more natural environments as we uh build some of our systems to explore and how can you colonize a planet without you know Plastering it in concrete first that's what terraforming does there's a question about the um status of the alien races and if they're making good progress and they are we've actually had um concept artist um working for the past several months um flushing out and improving the the Vel and just making
- 00:46:29
variance of them so not every single Vel looks exactly identical and he's been doing a good job I don't know when we're planning to do that release stuff I just I don't to worry about when it's coming in and these guys do that magic I think a couple of the van updated vuel pieces showed up in like chras ComicCon presentation maybe so uh yeah we back to look carefully at that yeah uh there was a request to do the cutless for Ship Shape uh noted I will have to look into um when I can get enough information to have it be worthwhile but uh I will I'll look into it thank you official pronunciation of Shian Jean Shian xen Shan there's many way most often my instinct is Shan uh
- 00:47:20
they actually this is one of those things where just like how people pronounce names differently in the real world the the writers actually encouraged the different pronunciations of Shian however in our Confluence Data Page there is a specific the official the one that they raised themselves go by is Shion I've never heard anyone ever call it the Shion Scout I call it the Shion Scout what else I've always called it Scout James calls it calls it the Jean Scout oh okay some you call it the Zion Scout those people have never never ordered Chinese someone said I call them X-Men some people call them the X-Men but in the confence page it's uh maintained by her own Sher hyberg it's listed as Shion whose desk we've taken for this uh yes yes let's give by the way pour pour
- 00:48:11
some liquor out for Sherry hiber because every week we we K she works at this desk and we kick her out for an hour so we're working on an alternative to that near lunch time the new office we going to have a whole area it's going to be nice will there be nightclubs and gambling cedos at Planet sides will there there will be nightclubs for sure um gambling is always there's some legal questions how you do gambling in a game um but such a touchy thing I mean it's it adds gamep playay but it also adds complications uh but certainly not clubs in fact I think they've already built at least one of them space Vegas that's the 890 jump basically who's built who's bu Space
- 00:48:57
nightclub the guys in Austin they doing the Milli M High clubs for uh I'm going to hit them up for an upcoming event that sounds a uh when are we moving to the new office Planet 10 last I heard was late September but I don't know if that's accurate eventually yeah there's a lot of constraction to do so we're excited though experience of a dance all night at Club yes Ben gets his own office yes finally he won't stop going on about it mhm shoe sit why do you think I want shoe stores in the social module of your uh GTA oh twet like a year or few ago that's right I forgot about it unconvinced cig hates the Avenger we
- 00:49:45
don't hate the Avenger I didn't like Avengers too much oh my god um forgot I told that story I was no the uh The Avengers is a great example of how we prioritize design before uh making money um because we're we're not going to do Veer varians until the uh the guys responsible for that ship are happy with them so uh yep and and the vendor is one of our most most popular ships it is do doing I won't tell you exactly how many are out there but we uh I I just recently just did an audit of how many of each ship is actually out there in the world owned by folks and Avengers in our top 10 also shut up sy's here oh hi Sandy I've been here for a
- 00:50:35

question what's it like working with Sandy no really it is terrible she's is a slave driver oh God we can't stand her I'm just glad she's not here no um you know I've been working with Sandy ever since uh you know day negative 100 of the project um and uh I could not ask for a cooler person to work with because they wouldn't give me one no no we all love Sandy I think that's probably because that there's a job add up and they're all like people oh oh do I really want to apply for that job um plans for our 2016 events TBD TB tbaa we D already but we're going to a later we have lots of
- 00:54:41
live streams planned wow so for a lot of the module questions I see popping up um especially for the ships that aren't flight ready uh we're not really going to able to answer those questions at all until the base ship is flight ready uh once we get to that point we can really start seeing what kind of modules what kind of extended gameplay we want to put into that ship into those Pole or into the variants uh and really flush it out there uh for the folks asking for new merchantman art every art piece of art for the Merchant's been shared we we even went digging for some unused Concepts a month or two ago soon as we get the ship list
- 00:55:28
we'll new updated ship list the person who mentioned the Cosmosphere I have not made it out there yet but it's it's on my bucket list and to the person who ask what the three Vanguard variants are named they're the warden that's the classic the uhel and the harbinger Harbinger Harbinger call haringer Sentinel I like Harbinger so tell us how to properly pronounce that word internet and the sent will be really really cool senel is very cool senel is very cool I like the harbinger I love I love the name harb I'll be like yeah it's this one like shut up I'm just trying to be Sandy I see you taking pics I am it's the new
- 00:56:17
selfie it's about to be posted uh do they still have that SR71 is who saw that oh that that the oh um I'm sure they do at the Air Force Base um we actually had a wedding last summer in uh seatt that took place under an Sr a12 but uh there's something weird about when you see those in a museum they're just like this dark magic to them I I saw the I saw the SR71 actually fly and land at Edwards Air Force Base in the late 80s and got to stand under it while it cooled down as it cooled down the the the metal uh constricted and it was raining underneath the SR71 on a clear sunny day there was a little rainstorm underneath the SR71 and it was one of the best
- 00:57:07
memories I'll ever have well I'll do you one better one of our backers who I guess I should not name is actually an SR71 pilot uh back in the day U anding really cool stories yeah all right that's it for round of verse I need to go find this backer uh there's a question about replacing the snub fighter on the con ation with the third turret uh no I don't think that's a thing right now and I will pass along he was asking if that's a thing and if not can you pass along suggestion and I will pass along the suggestion yeah I mean that that sort of falls into the we need to get it flight ready first we need to get that snub dock working as we need it to work first and then we can look at possible Replacements not a bad idea but we got enough on the plate ahead of it another place to see SR71 is uh the national space Museum's uhazy facility
- 00:57:59
in Virginia uh another cool Museum and doesn't the Intrepid have one in new yor yes you just read that in chat did I yes that's what I was responding to oh um there's a question is the HUD going to be redone for All Ships to match the Merlin so it will be built into the ship and not just floating on screen that'll depend on manufacturer each manufacturer will have their own style some will have some holographic stuff and some won't um so so it'll kind of be a per manufacturer stylistic kind of thing cool all right two minutes let's get one last great question there's an SR71 at the Museum in Robin at Robins Air Force Base there a lot of SR71 apparently Palm Springs has a B7 now everyone's inviting you to come we can
