00:13:04
talking and when I'm not gang just over myself that's what we've been trying to do this time yeah you have to mute the twitch stream or close the twitch window entirely just close the twitch window all right let me yes ah here we go how about I do that we all Happ now yes all right are we all happy now so start from the beginning CU we couldn't understand what you were saying before so jump point a week from today Friday the 15th uh behind the scenes interview with vot put together the multi through material uh and we will uh be also covering updates to the constellation and the freelancer and and all the other usual good stuff in addition to that I just found
00:13:52
out that we have hit our numbers we definitely will be doing a reprint of our we will be doing jumpo printed volume two and I have here not jumpo printed volume two but volume one and it will look a lot like this only it won't say volume one it'll say volume two and it won't have this stuff on the top it will be hardbound and it will have as many pages as this and more by about 50 pages I think so we will be doing that that's available you can go up and grab it now and we promise we'll be printing them and sending them out and in addition and then correct me if I'm wrong on this one the uh we are actually going to reprint volume one as
00:14:40
well we're not going to put that sale up until we finish with the volume two sale but it's the same story if we get enough orders for volume one then we will reprint it and we'll again it won't look exactly like this it'll say reprint right here but it will be just as Bodacious and hard cover and big as this book is and in fact uh we've just gotten through volume three uh the last one for volume three was the December issue and uh same story if we get enough pre-orders we'll go ahead and get that one out and printed to folks as well that's and that's what they've been doing jump Point as David says U jump Point volume two available for pre-order of the site right now if you guys want to pick up volume two it's it's always hard to print a book there's there's this Thresh
00:15:29
hold of copy I think 2, 2500 something like that 2,000 copies we need to sell before we can even printed and the more support we show for these ones the better it is you know I normally don't like doing the the PBS pledge Drive thing I'm not going to offer you the star siss and tote bag but if there's anything that uh do pre-order with us it is it is the book stuff yeah I would say get get it now rather than waiting for a reprint on on volume two but and uh we should put up a sample issue of jumpo on the site also something from year two just so people can see what's included because it's pretty spectacular sure we can do that so David pick out your favorite issue and we will uh we'll put it up on the site later today and we can have a it's not give away favor second you save something for the
00:16:20
book well and in fact those of you who are subscribers out there if you have a favorite issue go ahead and post it and U in the subscribers den and I'll take that into account as well so I I can't help but notice that behind you there's a advertisement for Star Traders what is that it's not there by accident nice segue no we' have not talked about this I don't know anything about this I'm literally just looking at it I'm like this got to be there for a reason so what's Star Trading it's there for a reason uh in addition to all the stuff that uh that we're doing with Cloud Imperium and jump point and so forth I'm about actually to Kickstart a board game uh and it has uh it has similarities to Star Citizen they are
00:17:08
unintentional the original version of this game was developed almost 30 years ago uh but it's called star Traders and in the game I just happen to have a board handy in the game you travel from world to world you pick up caros uh at uh perhaps at Wells you pick up time machines you deliver it to Will you might pick up positronic robots on azimov deliver them to Bradberry or you might go to indoor and pick up some snugly fur pelts and deliver those to Adams but you uh go from world to world you have contracts that uh that you use to pick up and deliver things uh for example mcdevit there has Stellar Antiquities and when you do it you get paid in Starbucks out and the best of
00:17:58
all you get to use the little ships that we used in the economy game this is how I happen to know about them you get to use The Little Ships to go from world to world but that's star Traders and as you say there happens to be a a location where you can sign up we'll be kickstarting it in about a month to two months if you're interested go ahead and check us out enough for the uh advertising feel like I was set up no I was I was going to do that LE that was a point I didn't know anything about it like I'm just looking at it all right yeah so this was a setup they had this colluded and I walked into it oh okay all right no um as David say this is a game he worked on many years ago and they're bringing it back um along with the help of uh another one of the members of our family Ryan Archer is uh oh yes um yes and you know it's not Star
00:18:49
Citizen but it's something that you know check it out when it hits anyway uh I I got to sit down and play a demo game with you guys when I we were in Austin and I had a lot of fun you remember that that's what you were doing in that room that's what I was doing yeah what was I doing that night I don't something I think you're scheduling oh no something something broke something blew up on the cutes maybe oh I was I was working on the the cutless uh the shipyard thing yeah so I'm working on the shipyard thing and they're playing this game ST TR you remember you said it was a lot of fun you said you really enjoyed it I think that that's cool about here is like so many people are so talented in every retrospects and everyone comes to to the table with a little thing that just so awesome that you don't normally get you know I think it's just really cool so I just wanted to say that well I just think I think we all
00:19:39
like have so awesome it's like I had no idea about that and I think that that's so cool are all four of you in on this and I was just completely set up can we take some questions from chat for uh David uh there sure we we know we won't be able to see David but don't worry you're still on camera David we're just looking at chat here so sound good hey everybody in cig cig chat not twitch uh ask us some questions if you have them for David um I see Ryan archers in our chat hello Ryan yeah I'm working with with David on the game so any questions about either star Traders or jump Point jump point or Wing Commander or any of I have a question we hit the pre-order for 2000 can people still order yes for now you can um we'll close the pre-order I don't
00:20:26
know when we're going to close it but uh I need to talk to Sandy about that we need to talk to Sandy so but once that pre- but once that pre done is that the last chance that's the last of it all right so they have to get it now before it closes not going to be there's not going to be a chance later all right if you could do me a favor when you do the Q&A you can be a little deliberate ask the question pause answer pause answer because I actually have to turn your mics off and on uh when David talks because otherwise it's beaten back through the thing so it's just so I don't cut you off finishes give it just a just enough time for me to put the fader back up because I manually uh do this on we're learning as we go pause oh Tom has to come tell his story at the end of the show right all right
00:21:15
so no questions so far but people are saying that they're some folks are saying they want to get the volume one reprint so that's good and that that will happen because because we've met we met for this one so put another pre-order for the volume one reprint if we can get enough copies then we will do that also um but one one at a time okay uh David we have a question from chat what is the goal of the game the goal of the game is to earn money to gather Prestige to convince the emperor that you are the one worthy to be the stars are in charge of all shipping and merchandise throughout the galactic Empire what else the stars
00:22:02
are I like that set up stars are maybe the stars are no okay uh let see uh we see some uh we're not taking the open Q&A guys see some star s questions not quite there yet we got David lman uh question who is David who is David well I'm sitting here uh I got into gaming back in the early 80s with Steve Jackson games I worked on Car Wars I worked on gerps I was the guru for those two systems for for a little while uh we did star Traders at that time uh after that I worked with FASA on Renegade Legion and Mech Warriors I worked with did some D and
00:22:52
work for TSR and then I started with origin systems I came on just after Wing Commander One released but I was is it secret missions one and what were the the add-ons to to Wing Commander one I think you start with two misss one and two and and every everything from there on out including the wing Commander movie we did the uh Wing Commander movie book uh for that product uh and after that I uh we did game guides for EverQuest Everquest 2 ashon called Dark Age of Camelot uh Etc ET Star Wars Galaxies and then most recently I've been doing the jump points the manuals the brochures
00:23:39
for FL Imperium we have a question here from Daven will David create manuals for the Squad 42 games manuals or uh game guides I guess uh yeah game guides are usually well I mean he can I was going to say it's am I answering the question I'm an idiot you know the answer better than I been uh I don't know that we'll be doing any game guides and the manuals are are being decided on on that end but I I would be I'd be happy to do them yes yes to the manuals game guides usually are contracted through some outside publisher we'll see if anybody
00:24:26
wants to do one and if they come to us we'll Point them at David gotcha somebody asked what was your favorite game manual that you worked on oh my um possibly Ultima 9 which isn't win I should say win shouldn't I uh Ultima 9 was the the the climactic episode nine of a game that went nine long and we did uh several interesting things to bring that whole series to a climax and and that was fun uh other than that uh Wing Commander was I think Wing Commander
00:25:13
Armada uh I got to write I'm left-handed I got to write with my right hand a note from a four-year-old to her daddy about how why is he killing the kitties because kitties are nice that manual was called voices of war the PDFs available online it is fantastic I don't know if we're breaking up here one more question in case we are uh somebody asks what ages is star Trader made for can I play this game with my 8 and 12y old I think someone's feeding you questions now actually star Traders has five levels of play uh the the low level is for like seven years and up the next level is like 10 years and up then about
00:26:03
13 and up uh and then there's a really Cutthroat game that I wouldn't recommend many families try out uh but there's there's actually five different games and the simplest can be played by by kids who can read simple words is Ben there still then he played the adult [Music] vers all right uh we're about halfway to the show so we'll see if we can get one more before we wrap you up uh David are are there any plans or would you consider an online version of star Traders at some point two answers uh one maybe uh this
00:26:55
this first one has to be successful so everybody go to traders.com and sign up and sign up for the kickstarter that's one answer the other answer is there is actually someone who owns the trademark for the electronic game Star Traders which is an RPG game it's like an MMO or something like that so we'd have to name it something different if we went online star Traders the real star that's what that was what I was referencing I'm sure the trademark us that one hi David So any anything else you want to hit or no no I wanted to let people know they should pre-order jump point and check out star Traders if they're interested um and we will provide more about both of those things in the coming days all right David thanks a lot man I think you
00:27:43
can finally get off the call thanks for hanging out and waiting for anything you'd like to say I guess yeah anything you want to say before we go I just just what you're saying thanks a lot it's it's a fun ride and I I appreciate the chance to to plug a OnStar citizen product tell me that's what thank you very much [Laughter] J well the the the major takeaway also is go on order the the print version of jump point it's a really nice read and uh I think folks will enjoy it and the more the merrier that first hard that's all I got hard cover cool thanks David right bye thank you much all right
00:28:33
goodbye I love his backdrop I I want to live in that home I know you guys do kind of live in that home what you talking about I was like what do you mean looks like our shelves like I'm like oh my God it's like replica all right and jump Point makes a great coffee table book when we were at my parents house uh over break they had it on their they had it on their coffee table yeah there was a jump point and then a book about the pope yeah the book about the pope was on top of it that yeah that that tells you my mother's interest that's a solid pairing she's interested in the world and the pope all right guys so Now's the Time on reverse to verse when we open it up to questions from chat we take questions both from the RSI chat in the general Channel and on the twitch chat so please preface your questions with the word question in capital letters surrounded by brackets
00:29:21
it helps me pick it out from the uh from the den and we'll see what we got here uh first question up is for Alexis January subf flare when and what is it uh it's not going to be until next week uh I know this is technically the second uh Friday of the month but the first was a holiday so we're just kind of arranging based on that so it'll be next week um and it's going to be uh pcity collection item I'm not entirely remembering what it is right now this is only my second day back at work so it's my first day what have been past polies there's been the space Rock there's been the rock there's been uh space mineral the space meteorite so it'll be something piece of armor yeah it it's it's keeping in line with the rest of
00:30:10
that uh and then I think that might be our last piece of uh plyy flare and then we'll start our new uh subf flare Series in March and we'll have more information about that for you in the coming weeks so uh folks are asking about the the sneak peek in yesterday's round the verse was an image off of elwin's own computer that I made him take of the Reliant it is currently entering its texturing phase so what you saw was the very very beginnings of its texturing phase uh no ETA at this point but I mean it's the the modeling's built they working on the textures now so in fact if you saw the uh The Very Long December live stream at the very start before everything went terribly wrong we actually walk you through the current state of
00:30:56
the yes so it's progressing it looks it looked that good and that was before textur so so I'm excited about it it's a cool looking all right hey Ben what happened to the Drake Herold at one time it was neck and neck with a Reliance but now we've gotten the Vanguard and the saber where's the Herold uh the resource we had on the Herold was moved to another ship uh so it's just been in a holding pattern since then it was one of those unexpected personel reassignments um so we're hoping he'll be able to get back to the herald very soon and we'll uh keep you updated yeah we we we have quite a lot of people working on Star Citizen but it is still a finite number I would like T many people working on these ships our guys can only be in so many places somebody found the money hat
00:31:45
where'd you find the money hat Johnny Black 21 I it wasn't found like what do you mean it was oh he's saying I thought he was saying he found one we didn't have it last time I think or no I did have it last time remember we did the Voting thing like bought me that hat we said we could retire the money hat or the new the new um hat that you guys got me of Captain fasma there we go he remembered I thought he was saying he found a money hat you can he did I was right he found a link he's got a link to buy oh you you found it well buy it take a picture of yourself with it and send it to us we'll put it on the wall but you should buy the counterfeit verion not the real one don't do any of that cuz the real one wait we got to go on the tour of the studios but go ahead no I just no I was not making any questions for Alexis rolling in any word on the next wave of
00:32:34
track jackets um what next wave of track jackets are do you mean the hoodies maybe hoodies um no I'm just reading the question well track jackets are still available in the store so if you're asking about future hoodies uh yes that's on our to-do list for the year uh keeping in line with the previous Drake hoodie that we did because everybody seemed to really like the fabric and everything about I just don't understand what the uh what the expression it will not say redacted on the back this time no we we'll probably we'll probably do like a Star Citizen or an RSI keeping it simple as opposed to Drake it's just a picture of Aaron Roberts giving a thumbs up on the back I would I would buy an Aaron Robert Robert's embroidered uh a sweatshirt well it's not embroidered it's a it's bedazzled oh even better who's bedazzling it hand bedazzled by me
00:33:25
I'll be doing all the bedazzling on the over there the hoodies but yes that's on our that is on our uh merchandise to-do list for the year so cool uh any updates on the hotas I know we were waiting on some shipping information that is a Vincent question uh and he's not here so well I know the I know the answer we don't have an answer for that yet we're still working on it yeah it's still working out details so okay um yeah unfortunately even though it's been 3 weeks we don't have a lot of you know not much has changed since we've been on break for most of that time not most of that time it was I think about two weeks total all we get this question quite often but we have I haven't as asked it in maybe three months but we do see it quite often any update on the room
00:34:14
system um the thing that you were thinking of is the room system no longer exists the game has moved beyond that um it became ARP as you walk around Port oara in AR Corp you can see it has rooms that's the room system in action uh so it's done it's it it works uh room rooms rooms are here now that doesn't mean there won't be changes to the hangers oh no there plent changes to the hangers and there'll be more configurability if that's a word in the future but uh the system is in the the tech is done it works we stream stuff we have a giant Universe it's great yes everybody's happy so the system that was that was what we were talking about through system that's in that's what our built out of it's what oral sar's built out of the hangers will still continue to iterate and update it's just there's
00:35:02
no release called the room system anymore we're going to need to iterate them a little bit for a very big ship that's coming soon yes we are very big ship I'm so excited about very big ship one of my favorite ships nope I cannot lie and I cannot lie well that was way too much laughter for that that joke was like a three and you gave it a six reaction it's called you when you have that wingman that just like you know lifts you up by laughing hysterically at your jokes like that's what I was doing he's just trying to be your wingman I'm trying to be your wingman let let it happen just let it it's 2016 what's the New Year's resolution like let Justin Be Your wigman let Justin Be Your wigman there go that is not a thing that will ever happen all right the bar together the
00:35:53
this is also indicative of a question we get quite often so we're going to do this starf gem Gemini starf are we getting the Gemini at the same time we're getting the starf no we're getting the Bas starf first and that's because we're working on all the base mod and then variant afterwards yes so that that includes the constellation Phoenix and the AA we're going through and we're making all the bases yeah and then we'll go back and start iterating on the on the variants so if you own a Gemini and that's the only one you own when the starf far becomes flight ready you'll have access to the starf yeah as a as a but not we might make exception this time I have to talk to devops to see if it's possible but I think that everybody I believe in my heart that everyone who has paid for a starf far should get to explore one when it's hanger ready yes um so we we'll figure out how to do that yeah or we'll at
00:36:42
least try we'll try very try we'll let you know we're not going to guarantee it we we've tried before it's it's convincing The Hanger that one ship should be where another ship is is is a lot harder than just giving you one to fly in other aspects of the game so but we all want we all want it I don't think there's anybody that would say oh we don't want that so uh 300 we wow I can't say that we we work we work we walked I think I had a okay yes you can all say it and I can't 300 no none of us were saying it you definitely did true rework 300 oh wow work through it I'm having some trouble like to redo work right yes 300 rework rework rework any news on a 300 rework well gez that was a lot of set up for no
00:37:30
answer I was having trouble you all witnessed me having a stroke um no no no no update yet uh it'll happen when it happens and we'll show you we'll show you how it works but uh I think folks are working on the uh the Vanguard the Reliant the uh starf far um all their next hanger flight ready ships Chris Roberts told us there will be Birds will there be owls uh I'll have to see about that oh that was your first pun of the show I think oh wait I anyway I missed it do it again nope I said owl have to see about that I would like a s an owl come from
00:38:20
his butt it starts in his butt and goes up through everything comes right out of his mouth I want somebody to send us all the PS Taren pictures we get asked about the tar I I have gotten Tarn questions at least six times last week uh well I can tell you that we have a concept guy working on the Taran themselves right now um with the aim of locking down them and their style guide so we can move on to the uh finishing up the ship that is the prowler yes like starting the prowler starting yeah starting the prowler concept so uh cuz we want to have the tavar UN locked down first but we've actually been having some pretty big discussions this week um there was an idea that they'd be slightly Egyptian styled and they're they're debating that so we'll see uh where that goes so basically we're still
00:39:10
figuring out what the darar look like okay uh looking for questions that we can answer going to show them our stupid dolls here's an interesting question well it's a question for Alexis is there a correct way to catch your subscription up to current if you've missed months um so we get this question a lot subscription time is really all counted the same on the back end like if you're missing a month it's not a big deal you can usually the best way to catch up is to buy a pass uh if you've got a plan going just buy a pass and then you'll have that extra chunk of time on your account and it'll all be counted on like the way we see it on the back end is
00:40:00
it'll say imperator time 13 months it doesn't break apart because you miss a month or something like that so the easiest way to do that is to just buy a month pass if you miss a month that's what the passes are for all right Ben and Alexa's got a toy they've been itching to show it off and its Origins come from mind grabbing the two toys behind Mr Lando there yes so maybe 2 months ago oh gosh was it only two months ago it seems like so long we uh I don't know it was a while ago we we're reading about how you can go to Target in Southern California and they take a picture of your face and make a Star Wars figure out of it and then I think we announced we were going to try that on the show and then we went and actually tried and
00:40:49
found that you couldn't he didn't send us the email or print out and let us purchase it um and we all had to laugh about that the the person who is in charge of the company was watching the show was yeah I guess cuz you know we're such a big part of the show now uh we're bigger than Netflix um and they said oh I'm sorry about the trouble we'll we'll send you uh we'll send you your figures um and they did and here they are they came they came right before Christmas uh let's do we don't we don't have a close-up we don't have variable zoom on the cameras so I'll just hold this here well no but just get out of focus it's focused for back here so hold this here and hope that you can see it this is Ben Lesnik as a Jedi Knight now this is a kiosk that sits in Target and oh there we go there we go yeah you can't really
00:41:37
see it yeah it's all blurry all right if I hold it closer to my face it's in Focus all right this looks like Ben last night it's a kiosk you you you stand in front of it and it scans your face and we didn't buy it because Ben and I did scans and our faces were identical this is exactly what mine was supposed to look like it's the eye color it's got the eye color I think it has actually bet your shirt I can see Ben in there yeah it's it's not has the mustache too the mustache yeah quoted mine oh yeah well that's true so I got to get like a some glasses from ayro Harry Potter or something and this maybe like a body from a baron har Conan this is Alexis this is much closer to Alexis than that one is to B yeah there's not much we can do but we don't have variable zoom and focus here so but yes this is this is Alexis and and let me
00:42:28
see so anyway thank you to the person that made that happen yes uh we appreciate that there was like a pile of boxes in front of our door one day which isn't uh out of the ordinary but they there was just a pile of these doll boxes there the one day and it was really cool so thank you I would play with these yes consensus is that Alexis's is good and Ben's is the opposite this is what my parents say first of all can you put a lightsaber in your like that no I don't think you can I mean that's how it shipped when I open it up it was in the belt I'm like that that this is this is the way lightsaber the lightsaber in your belt like that who runs the world girls oh except Justin is my wing yes for a second I thought I was sitting
00:43:18
next to queen bee and I'm sad that I know that reference it's only cuz I watched lip syn battle oh oh I wanted to see that I haven't seen it though I know all anything else you want me to show off no no start for those asking about the rework cutless uh check out the shipyard post that we posted around the same time as whenever this happened gives you the full rundown of the cutless history and explains why the cutless rework hasn't happened just yet it's on the docket with many other things so it'll get there hey and joining us now we have visitors y hi guys it's Randy Vasquez and Matt Sherman and somebody that guy that that Amish
00:44:08
guy that sings in front of our office certainly someone how you guys doing doing pretty good good come to do a few questions yeah have let's see if we have any questions for our designers here just wanted to prove that we exist and and survived the uh the holiday we don't exist who was touching go for a minute there Drake ships are not for losers the Kell was the second ship I bought but I I thought this got a PG sh oh the caterpillar oh my bump the caterpillar bu the caterpillar yes no I still have great hope that the cutless will will uh make its way through its Paces y let's see oh you're typing too fast you can't read questions when you go that fast question how a non-pilot positions in multi crew uh that's a really broad question it's pushing a lot of buttons and Ming a
00:44:57
lot of Sliders uh on what you're doing really uh I mean basically the goal is we have all these things that govern the ships already and the things that we want to do is is present it in a way that you can actually influence those things on individually see the output there's a ton of uh there's a ton of UI that goes into that uh and we do still just have the one zann uh he does he has people that he's working with now so that's it's cool but uh this it's so much work to get uh to get each each time we do a station it's a tremendous amount of work luckily we've got John re Davies so we have experience pushing sliders I don't get it so was asking if they can expect some
00:45:53
freelancer fixes in place well we just did a play test the other day where we tested quite a bit of freelancer gameplay uh we had some fun that that play test yeah you know I learned we don't let KX fly if Case is like jump in I'll fly don't it was going so well too no at no point was it going well at no point was it going well well I okay it was going well until you decided to fly no it was going well until I decided to do something stupid yeah which was takeoff you're some St was trying to fly a freelancer this big through an opening this big I I I I tried to do it at Cruise speeds uh from a distance where I couldn't actually see the thing so he's like I can do this I can do this try the frame thank you I was I was off by that much um the
00:46:42
freelancer uh is I mean most of the ships are receiving updates uh because we've it's it's existed long enough that we could start to to understand how the uh those drastic flight mode change changes have affected the game uh I'm able to start making real plans for what to do about it um the freelancer is one of the ones that's going to be affected by it it's probably uh if I mean always give feedback uh but it's not the worst on my list so the if if that doesn't jive with what you've seen uh definitely the cut list is higher up on that list um
00:47:31
there's a number of just a number of ships that aren't aren't performing the way we want them to uh well also the freelancer I mean this is its first pass at being a flight ready ship so I mean we're also still seeing it with constellation even though that's flyable in the Crusader map right now there's still for any of our ships a lot of ongoing balance tuning still getting the component rework going so uh every ship is is still going to have changes and balances it's almost like the game's not finished it's almost and it's really that's not even to bring up the bugs oh yeah like we're we're running into a lot of issues where mass is just being misreported and we don't don't know why but that that basically means that uh you know like when when the freelancer was when I was revealed to be a tenth of its mass and that's why it was uh since
00:48:20
so insanely fast that was the freelancer racing was so funny to watch on YouTube it wasn't an issue of a of a misplaced zero uh it just wasn't actually reading that value for some reason uh we shuffled it around and then it worked and we don't know why um you know my code doesn't work and I don't know why now my code works and I don't know why uh so we still have to actually track down that problem um there's been a lot of percussive maintenance on the ships recently uh to get them to to work properly uh we've got we've got John working over time to to really figure out out like what's going on um but things like uh not just the flight modes are being the flight behaviors are being updated but also uh I'm I'm scheduled to be doing the a full uh weapon revamp uh
00:49:12
going through all the DPS of every every weapon on every size bringing those in line with uh our design goals um now that those are really explicitly defined uh so that's going to I mean that's going to affect all the balance again so have fun yeah first all the weapons will change then all the shields will change oh then armor will get implemented that'll change everything so there's going to I mean there's so many moving parts to these ships that it's completely impossible to get it like you know Razor's Edge perfect in a first pass it's like okay put it out you know sand down the rough Hedges do some more work keep refining keep refining keep iterating and that's really the the way you hit a good balance point with the game you have to speak up back there
00:50:01
guys yeah yeah so what are you working on Randy um I've actually been cleaning up some of the implementation speak up I've been cleaning up the implementation of some of the 300 series so I've been kind of revisiting that lately just kind of learning how complicated all the components and all the ship stuff is I was just like oh my God I have KX over all the time looking at stuff like how does this work let's let's go back it's been so long since we did it like basically I have to go back in and like what did I do here yeah ah okay we figure well playing what you know now versus what you knew yeah we don't we don't make ships the way we made the 300 no uh we do not make them like we used to and that's a really really good thing there's so many moving Parts though it's been very eye openening yeah and what are you working on Matt um so
00:50:50
still more work on the components uh had been doing some work on the Reliant getting the hanger ready uh setup for that that we showed during the holiday live stream a bit um and then yeah I mean the the bulk of the work is the component system uh we're changing every part in installed in a ship so getting all that lined up set up knowing what ships will have what you know coolers power plant Shields you know top to bottom for everything um but then also planning out what these components are going to be in some of our bigger ships that we haven't gotten even into the hanger yet just so you know this this is a groundwork for for everything or every ship in the game so just making sure it scales up and down as we need it to cool so I'm I've also I'm working on a thing that well that that Jared has told me I
00:51:40
can talk about and I haven't yet uh I don't know what he's about to say so uh but you oh no now now I'm even more worried about talking we didn't talk about this I don't know what you're about talk we did we talked about the other day we talk about for this I didn't know what you're talking about right now uh I'm working on a ship uh spoiler yeahp I don't remember you don't remember oh I think I know what don't don't say don't say yeah okay okay I I don't remember what you're saying sorry guys just kidding every I'm also working on the freelancer that was that hook to get you to watch next episode it's a secret next time on reverse to verse not so much a secret sorry we we'll talk to them after and find out if this is the same thing and if we can talk about it we'll talk about it next week asz right now I don't know what he's talking about
00:52:28

00:54:05
I know I know I've been seeing it everywhere do you think we could partner with an actual noodle distributor I bet Jackie can make noodles have we asked them I'm sure we like the noodles is that what we're talking about like it's it's a noodle vending machine oh like soup noodles yeah you seem something vaguely offensive at asking your Chinese distributor to I think noodles for you you should have a cooking show people are loading their big bennies big bennies machines moving them yeah moving around flying them from Station to Station hey we'll see we we said that star sism was going to have a robust economy what we did not we not reveal at that time was that it's the only commodity is boxes of noodles it's a noodle based economy robust noodles a noodle based fun if we like make soup one time and we're eating the noodles uh wait in what context on the show you're
00:54:54
like on the show like just as like like you know a segment of like different flavors that we but why uh once more for those who didn't get it the first time uh or any other times uh for ship development we are working on all the base models now so we're going through all the base models and then we're going to go through and do the variants so all about the base no no treble right is that it is I don't support this at all I'm still waiting for you're a so all base models don't uh don't hold your breath for the variant right now we're focusing on all the bases all about the no no any updates on when the Retaliator modules or where the module system might
00:55:43
