   [Music] hey everyone welcome to another episode of citizens of the Stars I'm your host Community manager Tyler Nolan if you're joining us for the first time citizens of the star is a weekly show we highlight the amazing content created by the Star Citizen Community with that I'm handing it off to Tyler Witkin for this week's installment of Citizen Spotlight hey everyone and welcome to another installment of Citizen Spotlight where we take a moment to highlight some

2. 00:00:54

   of the incredible contributions made by the Star Citizen Community now joining us this week is none other than rockseeker rockseeker how are you doing I'm doing good thank you nice to be here awesome now I've seen a lot of backers make starmarine maps or maps of various space stations but nothing to the scale of your composite yellow map how did you go about making such a detailed map actually I was thinking about that for a while to go and go and map and put a grid system on it so I first decided to go and Fly Above yellow and take one screenshot but then I realized that the game actually doesn't render yellow from that distance so I said well I'm gonna have to find another way so I figured I'll do it the old way is basically uh go at Theo closer to the Belt itself and

3. 00:01:43

   actually go and take multiple screenshots so I took about 25 screenshots to going around the main difficulty being that it's not always the same distance so you have to try to judge by when you see the asteroid starting to disappear and then you say okay I'm just at the right height and then go and slowly fly around so now I saw you mention on your Forum post that you had to do a lot of measuring how did you go about measuring space in our game well the reason I had to go and measure is that I did the map three times so it takes about 10 to 12 hours to do so uh first time I did it I just went around in three evenings and uh between the first and second evening

4. 00:02:32

   I did not realize but I started from the wrong cluster of rocks of asteroids so when I pieced the things together I was missing about 30 degrees of the map so I did not realize until someone uh on the community got excited when people started chatting and uh then one person mentioned you know the Benny Edge is not a right location I said Oh Come no but I see the red light so I went and look at it and it said you're right and this guy Aaron Cornwell went and basically being a criminal was at grimex uh sorry was at the uh the Benny Edge and could see grimex from the distance so it says okay of course yeah obviously I'm the right place so I went back and readed it and

5. 00:03:21

   then I again using a technique where I each screenshot I make them about semi-transparent and then I overlay the asterids going all around and making sure that they all fit and then I said okay I got it this time fixed so I repost change the title said it's fixed and then again people went around and said you know your measurements don't look right so because what people do is you always can see where grimi is and you go and locate yourself different front location and you start doing uh triangulation and you say oops it doesn't work so I said okay so by that time I chat a lot with this other guy who's a born cartographer he likes that so I said let's go together and go around and you sit in one location and I

6. 00:04:11

   go around and uh start taking measurement and we took several screenshot and then we moved to different location and again did the same thing and there's I don't know if it's voluntary but there's currently maybe it's a bug in the game right now but once you focus on someone then you can travel anywhere in the map and you'll still see the distance to that person so as as long as you don't focus on something else you could Quantum jump somewhere else and you would still see how far he is like a million kilometer from you so that's that Technique we use and I I posted a map where there's lots of lines and these are all the measurements we took and then I fit everything together and and then that that's it now now the Clusters they're all at the right place wow okay and about how long did this project take you

7. 00:05:01

   uh as I said earlier about uh 10 to 12 hours each time although I was getting better and faster at doing it and I made sure to use the glaive that I owned I'm quite happy of the glaive and uh it's easy to go in and out because to have a good screenshot I had to each time I moved the bit and then evate out position myself grab a screenshot and that's why people are commenting what's this small orange line that you see everywhere around that's actually the uh my face mask of my uh criminal suits there that you see the small orange line so but that's nice that's a nice artifact it shows like rough look and feel of it so go back in move a bit go out move back and and go around like this so it takes like several hours to

8. 00:05:50

   just go around and funny enough there's actually fuel in ships and you can run out of fuel so yeah I I was about halfway around the the map and then I ran out of fuel so I had to go back well go back actually exit the game and go back in and then continue flying around that was funny cool all right last question what's next do you have any locations or projects that you're excited to do well I am part of the United Earth mining Corporation where I believe were the largest mining Corporation and I love mining I joined the game because of the RSI or ran that I saw online actually I got the ship before I even got the package so um and then uh so yeah we I was looking forward

9. 00:06:38

   to 3.1 but uh recently we just learned that it's going to be moved up to 3.0 so we're all getting excited about that and really looking to go in mine and hopefully there's going to be new sector open maybe the Stanton asteroid belts or something where we can go and start digging around and yeah so all right well rockseeker thank you so much for taking the time out of your schedule and coming and doing this with me and for all you folks at home we'll see you next week hey everybody Ben here welcome to

15. 00:11:30

    it above my desk in the office and uh I might just find out number three the Anvil f8 lightning laser cut model by rice Maiden now we've highlighted these laser cut wood models from Rice Maiden before but this may be my favorite yet very little is known about the f8 lightning and its proposed role within Squadron 42 and Star Citizen but that hasn't stopped the ship from looking any less cool number two the Star Citizen movie poster by Dan Silverstone Dan has crafted a compelling display of Star Citizen imagery and building his movie poster concept for Star Citizen of course I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that he used the cast for squadron 42 in lie of not knowing any of star citizens cast members but I like the artwork so much I'm willing to give them a pass for it so great job Dan and finally number one in this week's MVP
