00:03:11
Tyler yeah like the the is there a Yeezy hologram is that the thing there is a Yee there was a Tupac holog that's what I'm thinking of so if you've never watched reverse the verse before reverse the verse is the cloud Imperium games Community teams weekly informal live stream with the fans we talk a little bit about our weekend review uh cover 2.4 on the live servers now talk a bit about the upcoming Drake dragonfly sale that I'll start later today uh then start taking some questions and giving some answers from our RSI chat and finally talk a little bit about what's coming up in the next week for Star Citizen absolutely so Ben we had we had a pretty interesting week uh we did all the way to the weekend yeah let's start we we uh what what did we do this weekend we went to the LA Zoo you asking me what you and I did yes well I'm being a nice segue uh
00:04:01
know we the big thing is we got two four out that was the load off our minds last Friday um 24 hit the live servers the live Alpha servers y so um and we we'll talk a bit more about 2.4 in the in the next segment uh we went to the LA Zoo we saw lots of cool animals so our trip to the LA Zoo can only be described as uh Darkly horrifying oh goodness um into details yeah we're not going to go into details but the animals didn't quite get along with each other we saw the the darker side of animals this time yeah um we saw a Jaguar head and a bare butt mhm um we saw a giraffe peeing for a long time yes um yes we saw terrible things okay um and then
00:04:52
let's see Monday we came back um so it's E3 week here in Los Angeles and everybody is everywhere um you know marketing folks are in meetings all over the place uh everybody has their seminars and their off-site things and it's a it's there's like a urgency to everything uh that we were not involved with in any way um we were working on the uh the uh big uh we have jum point this week and the Drake dragonfly which uh we'll talk about in a little bit but we were pretty much heads down on that we were supposed to go to E3 on Thursday just look around see stuff say hi to people but we ended up not doing it cuz we we got busy with an idea yesterday uh which you will see in a couple hours uh as far as the office uh Chris is back this week Chris is back Aaron is in town
00:05:42
uh we also have Carl Jones from our uh he works at the Frankfurt office car Jones Jones goes all around everywhere it was nice to see him here though he bounces around so so we've got a lot of our top level guys in town as as they're working out uh road maps for to buy 26 27 and Beyond y uh nothing we're ready to share just yet because I know that's the next inevitable question uh but yeah it's um it's been a very busy week very busy week busy week um all right so let's go ahead and move on to 2.4 is live Tom um 2.4 hit the live servers uh uh now that's not to say that it's that it's you know completely bug free and whatnot uh our live servers are still in Alpha environment uh it's still a testing phase yeah what whatever I write
00:06:29
about I always have to say Alpha 2 point whatever and you can usually tell that's when I'm writing something because I'm super about that but it's U and I I think the long time between 24 23 and 24 kind of had spawn this idea that oh this is this is the game and it's done and it's available right now and everything's perfect uh no it's still Alpha everywhere you're everybody is still just testing right now um and we we've learned a whole lot from going live on 24 there there was a I know it was touch and go for a little while on the weekend when they were doing hot fixes on the server and trying to keep things up um and it's it's a bunch smoother now but there's plenty we've discovered we have to do there still plenty to do um are are is there still talk internally of possibly a 241 I'm not sure exactly how they're going to do it um I think they're still talking about that themselves all right um it's been it's been a lot of serverside fixes
00:07:17
this week I believe uh yeah Tom Sawyer with his hot fixes love you Tom Sawyer uh but yeah you know it's we we start we start small with with the with evocati then we go to larger PTU waves and then event there's a point where we we know it's not perfect and what up but we have this susp you know it's it's running well enough that we have the suspicion that we don't have enough concurrency on PTU we needed to go to a larger audience to to Really un unveil you know the the more core issu so we go to our live Alo environment and there's the idea that you discover issues as you scale which is you know we we we definitely do this weekend yes uh but it's intentional not intentional to have issues but intentional to scale y so yeah that's still iterating uh still working on on it and uh we we are hearing your your we're reading your issue councel reports
00:08:04
and we're seeing your posts on the forums and want to I keep that up uh those of you who use the issue Council thank you so much it makes our it makes everybody's job possible you know as far as you know finding these bugs and uh and uh fixing them repairing them optimizing them all that good stuff all right so that's 2.4 on Live Well now we'll go to what everybody's wanting us to talk about the Drake dragonfly all right uh the Dr dragon fly goes on sale later today this one has been a long long long time coming um we pitched the Drake dragonfly to the community long long time ago almost two years ago one of the options in uh one of the uh stretcho polls uh when we came up with the idea we were sure that was
00:08:52
going to be that one that was going to win uh it did not it was edged out by a different ship was it the Reliant Reliant um and of course we then did the Reliant the Reliant variant and folks love them and one question we've gotten ever since then is when are you going to do the space motorcycle when are you going to do the space motorcycle when are you going to do the drag when are you going to do the dragonly um and we finally did um we we thought of some really compelling things to do with it in the Star Citizen world we eager to share um it's really it's a really cool ship it's different from anything else we've done um it's just going to be tremendously fun kind of like actually getting a motorcycle um check out ATV this week uh there there's a there's a nice segment with Matt Sherman where he talks about the design process for the for the Drake
00:09:41
dragonfly it's various flight modes and all that stuff and you'll see some of the very first art uh which has been shared through social media and Reddit and our forums by now but in case you haven't seen it you can check out ATV to to see that I will say that the thing that first got me thinking about a space motorcycle way way back early on um I used to take Privateer 2 Aaron's uh Aaron's Big Space game one that uh discovered Clive Owen and uh I would hex edit it so you could fly the different ships I would just figure out what the offset was and you would you go into your hex editor and you'd have a different ship in a different ship and a different ship and I I wanted to see all the different ships that were in the game there were some that don't even show up admissions that's how games work back then I wish we had extra ships um but anyway I I got to the end of the list and I would have there were these
00:10:30
Spacemen it was just a little guy with a gun no static model barely 3D it was like a triangle with a man painted on Sid and you could he behaved the same as the ship so you could swap your ship for him and you could just fly around with his tiny man with one ship Laser cannon he would travel at like 50 km per second um he was totally ineffective in combat but he was great against Capital ships because their turrets were too wide to actually hit you and I was thinking about that guy when we right and you named the dragonfly right did I I I isn't it after a a bar in Gil more girls oh yes it was wasn't it I forgot about that I know it's the it's gosh yes let's get a little insight about how the uh the
00:11:18
naming process for uh for ships to start Sy don't you know I don't know if I can take credit for that it may have been one of the writers and we made that connection I don't but it was it was lauraiz in on the the G War is an in right I've never seen good girls you should watch good more girls before the Netflix one it's really good uhuh uh also with the dra with the Drake dragonfly we uh we asked we started a contest if you watched RTV last week we had this idea on the spot that we would do a a dragonfly art contest uh the rules were simple we asked folks to draw their idea of what a drake dragonfly might look like using nothing but paint or physical pens and markers uh we we wanted uh this was this was a throwback to the old Ben drawings of rtvs of yester year um a long time ago
00:12:08
we used to used to take a pad of paper and draw a ship before people would see it and it was always an amazing uh amazing uh visual spectacle I should bring in some of the art I do at home because one thing Ally and I do to relax sometimes is we get Sharpies and we we have pay we just do art and it's it's you guys would like it right I mean it's really good it's like not just like pencil drawing I've seen some of it it's like it's like this is professional well Alli is mine is mine is mine is a nightmare so so we had everybody on the community team pick their favorites and we're going to show you the favorites uh right now so first up let's look at Justin's favorite uh Justin's favorite came from wrath mcarran uh let see if we can't get that
00:12:57
on the screen here in just a second this is there we go there there's wrath mcarran he he drew the Drake dragonfly that's that's pretty good actually I I like it it looks like it was like something where it was on the spot you know he drew it on it looks like a posted note and I think it looks cool it looks very like and I like the little we at the top yeah it looks like it's functional as well it actually looks like that could be the Drake dragonfly so I'm pretty stoked about it I thought it was fun and yeah know it's good that looks a lot that looks a lot like the the little rough thumbnail sketches that an artist will do to to determine shape language honestly you know what this looks like is the cover for a drag Drake album called dragonfly oh yeah I yeah actually it
00:13:46
kind of does it could be an album cover it it looks more like a country western thing Dr I know but there was one with Drake in it that I almost I almost said just cuz it was so off the wall all right let's go ahead and look at Alexis's pick Alexis's pick came from pit 16 let's see what pit 16 Drew for us who favorite Alexis I had a black background on these I wonder why it disappeared but it's all right you can see my arm here's Alexis this is from pit 16 Alexis talk to us about this I you know I picked this one because it reminded me of some of the concept art from I don't know if anybody's seen the Yodas Dune documentary kind of reminded me a little bit of some of the concept art from that
00:14:34
it looks like how he had the ornithopter yes exactly um I don't know I just something about this one just spoke to me you know when I saw it it look it reminded me of like Avatar when they fly those like the the big monster thing mhm you know what the head reminds me of is our own uh legante what since theti gasas head oh on the on the ship I was looking at the the person's head here all right that's I and I love how he added the shading like you know right there and right here you know it's stunning it's it's colored in crayon I don't know I just I like it I like it how it has a windshield that covers like your face but not your arms and everything it's no and it's got foot pedals it's got It's got foot RS which is important and it's got helicopter pontoons to it so that this this is this
00:15:24
is just a uh a Crayola nightmare I would hang this on my fridge I do like this I do like this it actually does feel like a child's drawing we we should print these out and put them on the community board oh my gosh yes yeah sotally so so we just came up with the prize for this uh these these drawings will be printed up and hung on our community board and our community department and these people all get a dragon fly they also get dragon fly all right they also got a dragon FL congratulations people so all right so next up is Ben's favorite and by the way if you have not seen yodesi D it's fantastic documentary after you finish watching Gilmore Girls great do yes now now this was Ben's favorite this is from Barney granero and um I'm not going to say anything about this I want to let Ben this one is Amazing Ben now this start this was part of a three there were three images and I love this one because he designed ships kind of
00:16:11
the same way we do where first he drew something totally unreal it was a swan and then he turned it into a spaceship I thought that was that was cool so in his effort to design a dragonfly he started with a swan yeah it was like a swan and now it's like a bird mixed with a metay it's I love the the detail descriptions like it's like this image that's silly and then like very specific like engine intake like what I I love anything that is serious but doesn't take itself seriously yes well look at the front view up in the upper hand corner it looks like a a turkey Hawk with double swords it it does look like a turkey with giant leathery Nemesis enforcer bat wings and two rapers I really like it
00:17:02
from its front I would be terrified if that thing was coming at me so good job to Barney granero uh next up is Tyler's favorite Tyler's favorite came from Star Citizen fisted cuffs let's see what Tyler picked all right now this one actually ended up being being surprisingly close to to what was going on he got the he got the second Rider uh facing backwards that was pretty good yeah I would not yeah that's really close yeah uh and obviously he's he's flying through the the chocolate chip cookie asteroid field well it's misleading it's actually the tops of two chocolate chip muffins really well that makes much more sense um although he does he also has the the maneuvering Thruster on top and bottom
00:17:50
fire I guess that's how he keeps going in a straight line anyway there's a lot of Science in this there's there's there's sound effects Pew PE Pew and there are chocolate chip cookies so uh thanks fup you were Tyler's favorite uh now we'll move on to Hennessy's favorite uh Hennessy's favorite comes from a a a rather a rather notorious Star Citizen photoshopper Mr ads Adama if you've never seen ads aama's thread in our in our fan art section you absolutely must Avail yourself of this ad Adama has been making photoshops uh for Star Citizen and based on Star citizen staff members for years and they are you can often find them on the monitor of of Mark AIT in the background of bug Smashers Hy can you tell us what
00:18:39
you liked about this one absolutely I can't jar I I was looking through here and and I felt that this uh particular drawing reminded me very much of like the space bike that Lobo in the DC Universe rides and also had a little bit of the uh like Prince Lor and those bad guys from the Voltron old Voltron C had a space motorcycle that kind of had that thing and that kind of remind me of that I thought it pretty cool uh so that was my P yeah I like the safety flag I know flag is like you know it's something that we should consider because I mean it's these things are small they're going to be hard to see and you don't want to crash into another one when you're out there on in space yeah so so well yes that disco ball will help too yeah so so so so same disco B no that's a headlight because space is
00:19:29
dark because space is dark and space is dark so congratulations ad Adama you were Hennessy's pick uh finally we have my pick from uh Star Citizen Wickstrom uh he tried to load the he he tried to rig the competition by by doing a disco themed uh a bike and we thought I thought that should disqualify him and then I thought no I don't really have any integrity at all so let's just we knew that already so let's just go with this uh wickom designed the allnew Disco dragonfly 90001 sucks ex um that really looks more like Castro than you yeah well well from the side absolutely absolutely it's a head on way to go for yeah so uh there are some there are some interesting uh features to this one I I don't I'll be
00:20:16
real honest I don't like to think about this any longer than I absolutely have to because it it's remind me of those giant like Santa heads that you can get as a decoration yes I like the whole thing could work as a snow plow of some kind like when you when you're down Planet Side in a snowy environment you could use this as as a snow plow so um now see I I went through and specifically ignored all the ones that were like it's the space whale and it's all these Ben things but you you had to go with this I I I really said you know I'm not going to fall for this I'm going to I'm going to you know this is a cheap ploy to get picked and then I decided you know what let's yeah sometimes the cheap PL so sometimes your number comes up so congratulations Wickstrom uh you're you're one of our six winners for a
00:21:03
drake dragonfly so congratulations to wrath mcarran pit 16 Barney Grano fist of cuffs ad Adama and Wickstrom uh look forward to your Drake dragonfly we'll be attributing those uh probably later today so all right and coming back uh we we we we have a GU we have a a guest who just why don't you switch came and showed up hi Matt Sherman you're making a habit of this well we are saw dragon fly today so be stop by sure all right so we're moving on to our question and answer phase uh for those of you who never watched reverse verse question aners where we take questions from our RSI chat you can go to RSI chat by going to Robert space industries.com community/ chat and logging into the website of course and we'll be taking
00:21:50
questions from the general tab uh please preface your question with the word question in capital letters surrounded by brackets that'll help me to to pull it out from the detrius and of course I don't use auto scroll so you only need to answer your you only need to ask rather your question once it's something that the community team can address I will address it so right off the back um John he ask questions every time he even told me how to pronounce his name once and I can't remember he say it right in his question does it it's rugaru John rugaru says how many dragonflies will fit inside of a caterpillar we need to know how many to buy so who wants to take that one so exact numbers are still being sorted out um we are hey all right yeah exact numbers are
00:22:38
still being sorted out um a decent number but uh like we had said when the Endeavor sale went up uh there will still end up being some hard limits as to how many we're going to allow you to store and scramble from inside the ship so it's not going to be how many can you stack wall to wall floor to and actually deploy that many um it it'll be something that won't make the servers melt but yeah at least two for more than likely more per module um the dragonfly is really tiny uh when you guys see it it's the the art we showed yesterday during around the verse makes it actually look a little bigger and longer than it actually is he's just a little guy a little guy he's a little guy all right Zeno 933
00:23:29
asks how is that huge spider mining Dr Drone we showed so long ago will that go on sale at some point maybe um maybe but we need a reason for you to have it first uh it looks cool right now and it's a part of a squadron but we you know don't have mining in yet so you know we'll revisit it right uh Mr Fusion has a question he asked will there also be space motorcycles made by other ship manufacturers that's something we consider down the road maybe someday I think part of the lore for this one is that this is the first one this is Drake coming up with a whole new idea so um hopefully years from you know years down the line everybody will have there competing space motorcycles and we can do like a laidback one and all the different styles you can imagine but uh
00:24:18
this is this is the first one okay uh Yoko asks how many cig members does it take to screw in a light bulb Alexis wait why is that my answer just thought it was no I think it's only one to call the facilities people and say we've got a broken light B right it's one Dennis Daniels I'm sure that's a broken computer um broken light do people really change light bulbs anymore it seems like they just go for years now they do last much longer actually the light bulb in my bathroom has been out for about 3 months and I haven't changed it yet so how do you see but to answer your question yes I CH take my showers in morning when light comes into the window if you guys recall correctly I changed all the light bulbs in the
00:25:07
community room with the other one because it was always dark and I so I went through there so people you know one of them exploded didn't it yes uh Dean maau five says disco after your interview with Jim Martin this week on ATV he said he worked on the M Endeavor can I please buy one be on saleing an eventure eventually eventually not not right now though we usually bring back stuff later in the year around games come citizen con November anniversary so uh chances are it'll be on sale again sometime before it's actually in game yeah yeah yeah so no rush there um uh Commander rker has a question he said he says concerning longer space
00:25:55
travel durations is there a plan for gameplay for crew downtime I don't any plans yeah I there are plans I'm not the person asking to yeah I mean it's definitely the kind of thing that we're going to have to be having something there and sorting something out but it's also still you know far enough away from really needing that to be in game to really have say like what's fleshed out what's actually going to be there activity wise sounds like a Tony Z question oh yeah yeah I mean we should talk a lot about B stuff like space cards and communication systems and whatever but uh yeah it's down the line yep it'll be a good problem to have when there's so much space that it it's boring uh gearan asks can I change the buccaneer seat for a
00:26:43
dragonfly it's not that small yeah it's not that small but I like the way you're thinking uh uh altered perception asks what utility does the dragonfly offer anything special for the caterpillar uh special just to the caterpillar not particularly I mean the caterpillars definitely have you know the ability to scramble dragonflies but it's not like an exclusive feature that it's the only one that can soly Drake markets them together because you know it's it's Drake's whole lineup um and because you know we went into this with the idea of this pirate motorcycle gang supporting this big hauler that picks up all their um so it's kind of our one of our first
00:27:33
yeah images of it okay uh Roland Nighthawk asks what is the status of the Herold uh Harold is wrapping up now I think yes so uh actually was it uh last week on the news from around the verse the buccaneer and the herald actually got confused in the LA update so it's the The Herald that's getting uh going through its gray boxing Paces right now the buccaneer still hasn't started white box or gray box um but that's actually going along really well we just had uh small review on some of the white box changes so it had a updated interior uh you'll actually be able to walk around it cleanly and effectively without tripping over yourself or the seats inside so it's shaping up really cool okay uh
00:28:21
senia says Mark please comment Lando's haircut I don't know what that means but it was a chance to say hi seni we met Sonia at citizen con I met him I met him a bunch of times he's a good guy two years ago so I don't understand your your your qu comment it's not a question but hi s you say you have good hair today Lando what oh you said you have good hair your hair looks nice see you got a haircut what wanted us to do today's picture day a knowledge his haircut it is nice it is picture day this picture Mak you look younger uh typhoon asks physical spaceship models anything new incoming nothing new for now we'd love to do them but make the game first and
00:29:10
yeah physical merch isn't easy it's awesome but it's not easy it's very very hard especially something as D you know I don't think Chris Roberts would let us off with a cheap spip model it would need to be very very quality control would have to be really crazy good I'm sure we'll get there uh uh Dev Dev wolf has a very common question around sale time if we get the LTI with the dragonfly can we upgrade later to a much larger ship and keep the LTI yes that is how the system works okay your upgrade will always reflect the insurance of whatever your base pledge that you're upgrading from as uh and before we before we go into more LTI everything I will go ahead and say
00:29:58
that uh one of the packages today is two dragonflies in a caterpillar we don't have a way to have it separate insurances in a package so they're all LTI um the Standalone caterpillar is just 6 months but uh I I'll just get that out there into the universe first there there is one caterpillar that has LTI it's a limitation of the system not uh not an attempt to get around our own rules no uh we wanted to provide uh a a a a way to get a caterpillar and two dragonfly at a discount yeah and you it came down to we can either have them all don't do the package or do some sort of Frankenstein system to the package and just have everybody
00:30:47
write everybody will be writing to CS saying well I I want the version with a discount can you melt my six-month caterpillar and switch it to a Dre is just all right so for for ease of the for for the within the confines of the system because we wanted to provide people with an option to get these things at a discount it it has to have LTI yeah our other option was to do it kind of like the uh the gun for the buccaneer where we would actually sell it saying it has LTI and then take it away later it just yeah it seemed like it would be really messy from a CS standpoint gotcha all right so yeah that's something to look forward to later today uh nikar Nar I don't know says yeah is no different guy uh is there support for steam controller in 2.4 uh not specifically 2.4 but I do know the steam controller uh we've got QA here in LA
00:31:37
and on Vincent desk he Vincent's desk he often uh is testing with the steam controller that Xbox Elite controller uh and he's even working with the new x56 right now so so we we are currently working on controller support for a variety of stuff you know what we didn't talk about in the uh section earlier E3 yeah we we we talked about how we didn't go but there's all this stuff from other companies what have you guys seen that you liked gu what I want to ask oh what did we see that we like yeah um yeah the pressors and all the news um I had actually been living in a hole where I had never seen or heard of Dishonored before so so seeing the reveal of Dishonored 2 was was interesting it was I guess doubly interesting to me because I I I didn't
00:32:25
know that franchise existed well it wasn't franchise a single game but uh it franch because he has a sequel now now though uh but yeah it looked very interesting I I don't know if if it's enough I have such limited gameplay time anyway that that I would push something else aside for it but I was definitely intrigued it's a really cool Series yeah it was it was it was it was one of those things like if if I had the time to to just do to jump jump into something like that that that interested me that that's Peak my interest what about you uh you know it seemed like a slower year uh Sony certainly has me on the hook for 400 bucks for their VR thing after I saw both both the Star Trek multi crew thing and the this X-Wing uh bman thing I'm sure it'll be a tiny demo but just that the idea of looking
00:33:13
around the inside of an X-Wing that's worth $400 yeah that was the thing we did we actually set aside an area in the studio like this is where we're going to play bridge crew start your Bridge crew when the time comes uh and Call of Duty space was really cool um I I was watching that I think I tuned into whichever pressor that was was Sony that oh yeah Sony I think had the game I tuned in light and I didn't see what it was and I was like oh this is the it's cool to see the Natural Evolution of you know if if Wing Commander had continued happening all these years this would be the kind of game that was all over the place so I thought that was cool um I the only thing I worry about is I I want a backstory usually like call usually when these G Call of Duty Battlefield games come out they kind of build in the backstory by connecting it to some War
00:34:01
like the battlefield is so exciting because it's World War I and you don't necessarily need the story but it's this new experience that you understand so um I'm I'm eager to see how much World building they do in the colian space uh how bet you Alexis um I you know there was the Norman Reus uh death stranding yes I got to say that was intriguing I also was weirdly into the new FIFA game oh with like the story mode I don't know something about that looks really interesting to me which I normally would not play a FIFA game but have you ever played a FIFA game I have not but I you know what this is one that I think I would try so so all those people that claim that these sports games are the same year after year not there's still a chance to hook new people up no absolutely so um but yeah I mean there
00:34:48
were and then I think there were a couple smaller things in the Sony I forget there was another one and I can't remember what it was now but there was some other stuff that I was into so the Norman Reus one was the one with the all the dead crafts yes all the Dead Sea Life dead I mean it's a hide coim game so it makes as much sense as any of his games do initially so can't wait to play it that's again that's cool I like that weird dark you know cool and FIFA yeah it's complex person what about you Justin um this was actually my first year going so it was kind of like that kid in a candy store for the first time I was really impressed I thought it was the whole thing I mean I got to see the Call of Duty show that was like the first time I've ever went in something like that and you got to experience it with a lot of like major
00:35:35
fans and they had all these cool promo videos for everything like the Nintendo the new Zelda game which I was always a huge fan of Zelda and it's like you got to see their stories and the cinema and just everything is a visual and cinematic and it was quite the experience it was just overwhelming we had a good time um and so I'd say everything was interesting in my opinion because I got to see a lot of stuff that I don't normally see on a daily basis and it was fun to just be around a bunch of people that were just excited about yeah E3 is kind of cool because it we're all heads down most of the year and now we get to see what everybody else is doing yeah and it was just cool and the technology is crazy they had like these um visual effects boxes where it's like or like the the where you put the masks on and then you have the guns and it's just like you can it's what is that
00:36:23
called it's like it's like they had basically like these uh these these goggles that wrapped around your head yeah it's like I don't know exactly like what okay sorry I'm showing my my you know naiveness or whatever but it was like they put people in these glass boxes and they had like the the controllers were actually like weapon shaped and like the guys were doing these demos that were just insane it was like for Doom for everything it was like not just one game it was like all these different games that they had I just thought it was it was super legit that's interesting to me cuz I I the one thing I missed going this year was last year everybody had some crazy VR thing so I'm like oh here's the trackpad you walk on here's the and everybody was kind of flailing like a dead fish trying to
00:37:11
figure out how you demonstrate that to crowds walking through so I I was I I would have wanted to see how where we are with that this year everybody had the everybody every game had a box that people could line up and go in and put on the VR you know and then they had everyone had their own design of the controllers and stuff I'm it was really dope I'm it was I was super excited and glad I could I learned a lot what about you Matt um a lot of stuff uh again though like for a few years now like Sony's press conferences just blow people away like the new God of War that looks amazing with the don't get mad at your kid meter that they showed on screen um like all the stuff had Horizons Day gone so bunch of cool stuff for that um
00:38:02
also like you said Dishonored 2 just looks fantastic my answer would have been Red Dead Redemption 2 but where's Red Dead Redemption 2 where's Bioshock where's Animal Crossing there's all these IPS that was expecting well I mean Bioshock I think is sort of a done thing now with ir rational they sort of restructured a few years ago but I heard there was uh there's a game former Bioshock Dev that uh what was it we happy few oh yeah that looks really cool where it's just like here's a drug trip 1960 psychedelic nightmare I actually feel like if there's any franchise you can take to space It should be Bioshock you should do like a 1950s like Colliers magazine Style Space world uh oh yeah like space station yeah yeah like a 200 yeah no I I I would like BioShock
00:38:52
Infinite and VR I would like I would just yeah like them definitely tempted to get VR for the new Resident Evil cuz that Dem was crazy displays were crazy uh Resident Evil had a whole house yeah that they had there I was like wow this is crazy there's no shortage of money spent at E3 yeah oh definitely not I mean Nintendo looked like a fortress it was like the Pentagon like I was like oh my gosh I saw videos of a stampede yesterday from as soon as they open the gates it's just like everyone charging to try and get in line for the new Zelda cuz just like it was insane that line wrapped around and it was like a fortress I'm telling you it was crazy gotcha all right so back to the questions here so not gonna ask me what I thought did you have any
00:39:41
favorites from E3 this year Thomas I have one thing to say about from as far as video game news this week I don't know if they actually put it out at E3 or they just did released it uh coinciding it was the first look in the very very early teaser of uh visceral's new Star Wars game the Amy henik is working on yeah that there's that is the most exciting thing on the horve for me and everything else Bel that I just wanted to say I kind of wish EA had showed us more about their like EA's presentation it was like I'm really excited to m m effect I'm really excited about all the Star Wars I wish I knew more like they clearly have a like fiveyear plan for Star Wars Let us just let us see one well I could I could really see him holding some of that for like The Next Star Wars day or like Disney Centric celebration no I mean I I I hate it when when game
00:40:32
developers just talk about something and never show it I do too but the the Amy henig one just if it's anything like Uncharted or or those kind of games but in the Star Wars universe that's that's that's the thing that's my jam right there all right so back to the questions Deni asks uh what is the limit for player characters on a planet and for ships as well uh Deni we're we're that's that's a thing that comes after planets and and ships can go down on planets that's that's a optimization and and performance issue so it's not an arbitrary number that we set ahead of time yeah it's one thing where're we're constantly reaching to have more and more and more with each uh each patch I you probably remember year and a half ago we had like four player matches in AC and now we have what is it 16 or 24
00:41:21
Crusader yeah and uh and and with the with the networking work hopefully that'll get that that that will be even well it will be more but hopefully it will be even more soon it's one of those things that I I imagine that for the rest of History we will be slowly pushing it forward you know after the game launches and as long as we possibly can you know in in 2356 we'll all have supercomputers that can have a billion people in every I have no trouble imagine that Chris will be constantly pushing the the number of people that we can squeeze into a place long after the game goes live let's keep working let's keep once start this BEC the historical drama like Chris Robert's head in a jar we'll we'll still be improving it gotcha uh narrator asks can we please get more ship commercials please please please no more ship
00:42:09
commercials for the time being um they they will return someday uh but the the folks who did those early commercials are now working hard on the cinematics for squadron and uh we do not want to interrupt them um the Retaliator one is still coming just not right now uh Hyde asks what will be the replacement for the dragonfly I think he means the loner and that's uh Merlin I would imagine Bly Merlin for now um one thing we can say about the dragonfly is that it's probably going to pop up in the game sooner than later so you may not need a replacement for that long Han olar has a statement I just wish you guys a good day well was a nice have a good day that wasn't a question h
00:42:58
follow the rules oh well you're the one who read it I know follow the rules H please know that I'm kidding uh uh pet 11111 says I know the dragonfly can't travel through atmosphere but could it be reconsidered it would be so cool you need checks and balances uh also atmospheric re-entry with just and I I think a lot of it will make more sense once you guys see the dragon fly by um and also hopefully kind of like what Ben was saying you know once once we do have it in game and you can put it up against just a you know size it against a Merlin and you'll see oh this is half the size yeah that's a fireball waiting to happen so but it folds up for easy storage and you just
00:43:46
bring it down into the planet yes uh um over asks would anyone else pay for an audio CD of Jim Martin telling bedtime stories yes yes uh in fact uh the interview that the two-part interview with Jim Martin that's been in ATV was actually he heavily edited we went on for another good 15 minutes or so so we'll be putting out the full length interview probably next week on Tuesday so you can you can hear even more Jim Martin stories we talk about freelancer strut gate visibility strut gate and and and and all the cool uh trials and tribulations we go into Ben planning of endeavor modules and stuff so there's a lot there's a lot of good stuff in the in the longer interview so uh if you
00:44:33
want if you want to hear more of Jim Martin talking uh check out the extended interview that'll go up on Tuesday is there a version where your audio is muted Ali came for you thing is there there are a few things in this world I like more than when Ally gets me it it's like it's I don't know why but it's like it's like I I never like her more than when she's mean yeah we have a type uh let's see uh uh a buggy to dragonfly CCU pretty pretty please sorry no keep those gray cats they're going to be useful someday yeah and the the gray cat is is sold through the the Voyer direct system and
00:45:21
not through the pledge system it's it seems like it can almost be a thing almost almost yeah y um uh lling asks a question I I I don't I don't think we're ready to answer yet but I I want to I want to pose it in case uh Ling asks will the dragonfly fit inside the revamped cutless I don't think we know yet yeah I don't think we know yet it's it's definitely something that we've talked about as the dragonfly started coming together but it's one of those things where we need to get the dragonfly built out know exactly how big it is in compact mode uh really sit down also with the cutless plan out what we want those revisions to be um and figure out not just if there's enough room to cram it in there but if there's enough
00:46:08
room to actually operate it yeah yeah cuz that's the big thing the the playing will it fit only go so far but will it will it function is the far more important question so uh it it's something that we're actively you know looking into because we do want Drake ships to feel like a family but it's not something something that we can absolutely promise right now that it will happen so it's not ruled out no but it's one of those things we can't know until we actually build it y okay um herbec raid asks will there be a fleet command or command and control module for the caterpillar uh so outside of basic cargo module uh a lot of like variant gameplay
00:46:58
modules aren't really fully confirmed and planned out for the caterpillar just yet um I know you know Randy had made a bunch of different possible options but right now none of those are a locked in sh thing to happen good job uh Aiden Arash Arash asks will there be paint schemes like the gray cat uh he's probably seen that we have two images of the dragonfly out right now one in yellow and one in black yes we can talk about about that uh sure the uh the yellow dragonfly is the uh launch exclusive uh pre-order version it's it's the the one we're selling it's the one that's limited to the concept sale it's uh it's the first rung of them that Drake is making they're doing in the distinctive yellow and chrome scheme
00:47:48
um the standard production model is the uh the blackend matte version um which we're also going to have a available and we're actually kind of interested to compare the sales of the two there's also a two pack and there's a caterpillar that comes with two of them um on the SK side um so yes uh there's those two different colors we also uh for one of the pages of the material that's coming with it we were like oh let's do a uh let's do paint samples for different possible options for the future like a Carro Shore and uh so we picked out like 16 different colors and uh then they went that we did a version here that was just you know our wild thinking they went to the UK and they were like okay but let's do colors that you actually have in the game and so
00:48:36
there's there's 16 actual colors it could be with a Shader in the game so so let's let's uh let's add a comment to that that's not to say that there will be 16 color variants of the dragonfly it's just that it's because stuff we can do down the road we get it's anticipating once the eventual paint system comes online um but we have two different versions available for sale uh the yellow will not be offered again it will be the black next time um we're going to and we see this on the sale post we're going to have a certain number of yellows that are available in the universe that aren't s during the sale just so it's attainable but it's supposed to be the the rarer limited edition um like if you have like a 20th anniversary Mac or something or one of those Halo cars remember when
00:49:24
they did a Halo Randon car uh anyway like that there been a few of those weird ones I remember seeing like actual Call of Duty branded Jeeps when Black Ops was coming out or something yeah and like off a dealership L it's like that just looks silly they did a Batman Jeep this year oh God that's one of those re I'm kind of glad unless it has a grappling hook it can't be a Batman Jeep that's one of those things I see like okay I'm kind of glad Wing Commander didn't end up being the biggest thing in the world because I would need to buy the the wing Commander Model Toyota or what yeah but wouldn't you like to have Wing Commander POP vinyls wouldn't that be the thingin so good we resisted the the siren Callo POP vinyls for so long I have a selection of POP vinyls well we we signed up to that Star Wars box not
00:50:11
realiz it said occasionally it come with a pop vinyl figure I didn't realize that everything in that box was from pop vinyl so I got back doored into pop vinyl Good t-shirts yeah and then Brian I just discovered there's a GI Joe cartoon series of Pop vinals Brian has one on I notic one of those on his I'm like so I might have to start collecting POP vinyls now I've got Bioshock and I've got Jupiter Ascending there was an actual line of Jupiter sending POP vinyls uh the Mike Berg asked a question uh has anything come in regards to server stabilization uh Mike I'm going to I'm going to tell you to hold on to that question and wait for our subscriber Edition RTV uh that that comes at the end of this month we have members of the Austin uh server team server Network team so that would be a
00:50:59
good question for them so this was my subtle way of plugging yes that yes 29th Overlook something you should say which is that yes there's lots of progress on uh improving the servers um just in the last week with all the feedback from the live launch down we're like 30 minutes together now on the questions y well because we took a big detour and I don't put it on Autos scroll so um uh Mara Kel says will there actually be a new version of the civilian Hornets oh because in 10 for the developers uh uh they talked a bit about uh how there might how one of the things we've talked about as different yearly versions of ships yeah I saw threat about that on the forums um that is
00:51:48
something we still want to do it's going to vary from ship to ship um some of the ships the ones that are in right now need to be totally over called uh but then going forward into the future we can do you know a new arara each year a new Hornet each year um so it's going to depend on the ship gotcha uh panamericana panamericana panamericana ask will the dragonfly fit in the freelancer yep I knew that was a gim something yep uh I think right now there's only of all the like usual suspect ships there's actually only two ships that will have to say hard no it won't fit in its compact mode to scramble out um so was
00:52:40
actually really happy about that which two do you know uh it would be the Avengers and the Reliant so it's going to be a little bit too long to uh fit for the Reliant for how its cargo or pads are sort of set up and then the Avenger it's actually more like the the height clearance and the ramp width so it's just a little too big to to cleanly work for either of those will one fit in the storeall Box on the bottom of an aurora so we haven't fully sorted out how we want like creating up a ship for transport to work out um but that is actually something that is being you know thrown around as well where it's like well okay we've you know with the the whole series we were showing it's like yeah uh there there should be some
00:53:28
way to Crate up a ship and move it for transport it would not be something you could immediately use so it wouldn't you know if that happens you won't be climbing out of your Aurora in space popping open a crate and using your dragonfly right away it'd be okay you got to set it up but um is something that's being looked at with other just crate and transport stuff in general I swear if the if the Aurora pocket carrier becomes a thing because of this coming for you no don't worry I I'll just make sure they all blow up Aurora pocket carrier pocket carrier Aurora uh John rugero says I'll totally be down for space Sturgis uh I spent a good portion of last night trying to do one last ad for a space sturis for our brochure and I I I just couldn't get it going I was out of gas last night what a
00:54:19
brochure yes we've been working what is that uh the tired yes we we're all very tired uh one of the one of those last I shouldn't say it's the last minute idea but one of those one of those things that when inspiration hits you we had a great idea for doing a dragonfly brochure uh late in the process we'll just say that way so it's been a lot of work putting that together I think it's coming along it was a lot of fun came together no it was a ton of fun a ton of but it stretched every Creative Juice we had and the best thing is we we put together our uh our peasant version and then we showed it to the guys in the UK and they were like cool but here it is good but here's a good version of it then actual artists came in and they're like let's take your idea and make it
00:55:08
good this is very good Jared but what if we did Art on it yeah yes yes Paul Paul Jones was very respect respectful for my for my efforts and then just and wizard did it and I'm like that was that was that was very good Paul and he goes yeah welcome to my world because like anytime we do sort of a white box idea for a ship it's like we we make something and it's like no designer art is implicitly ugly it never looks good then we hand it to someone who is trained and skilled at making things look amazing and then we get an actual ship back I'd also like to give a shout out and a thank you to benjam fardell benw everybody in turent Scott course um and Eder for putting up with all our last minute changes on this one and uh with such good humor and also for just
00:55:59
nicely accepting when I totally like I I was in editing the CSS and the uh the sale page this morning and I I broke the heck out of it I I I looked at it and it was like Hey I I actually did this it looks great it looks great it looks great and then oh wait the pole at the bottom is Jared apart with weird text in the middle all right that explains a comment I got from fardell that I didn't understand all right now I know what fardell was going off about so uh you know they were they were very polite about yeah thanks you did a great job that's just they were less polite with me and actually just even though this we're we're reading like you know a half hour ago's chat now I saw a few things uh people talking about how the dragonfly would work in terms of atmospheric uh so it won't actually be an atmospheric flight craft uh when you're on a planet surface or on a moon
00:56:47
or something you're going to be running along the ground uh when you're pulled out of you know the gravitational effect of that planet and you're just in space then it'll be flying on its own but you know it won't be in the atmosphere it's not like a CNA actually able to fly um it's very much when it's on a planet surface it's on the ground or hovering kind of yeah all right darkmouth ask since Chris Roberts is back will we be getting a tour of the new La studio uh yes that's one of the things that we've got on our list we have yet to to ask him about that but Chris is here for I think two weeks we we got him sit down for a time for the chair me we're we don't want to take all his time CU we know he will give him as much time as he can but uh we also want to work in the game so we we got a bunch of second with
00:57:36
shoot and that is one of them gotcha uh looking for final questions we're almost done uh Hollow sand void says will there be Hell's Angel style dragonfly gangs roaming the Galaxy looking for trouble that's up to you and yes I I I I'm I'm personally hoping to see quite a few motorcycles clubs uh Justin brought me back a shirt from E3 uh from that's payday related with a motorcycle club oh yeah starting uh Ron Pearlman yeah that was crazy I didn't know that part yeah yeah they added a new character to Payday 2 yesterday where it's Ron Pearlman as the biker yeah it was pretty cool I don't know if that's enough to get me to play Payday 2 but I really like it I hope you like your shirt I thought it you yes J this yes well well I I'll wear it when actually a little skinnier but I'll
00:58:27
get there you could bring like paper bags back though it's my shirt I'm getting there Prett skinny I'll get there I'm a skeleton so pick something yep scroll down to the very bottom pick something like that we'll pick something from the last five minutes hold on oh that's a button so last questions of the show let's see sorry check my phone I keep checking for updates on the dragonfly stuff uh H asked a question this used to be a pretty popular question back in the day uh will there be better support on the gameplay itself for third person players I noticed that you even remove the chat window from the third person view we have a we have a long-standing
00:59:16
commitment to a first person Universe kind of thing but more than that I would leave it to Chris okay I try uh uh what is the review process like for the dragon flight concept drawings contest where can we see the results earlier in the show so uh when when we we we we did covered that earlier in the show xxf 561 uh you can see the replay when it goes up on uh on uh YouTube he has one of those Mas on like scared me to death what one of our one of our one of the people from our finance department was saying that he wore one to scare his wife while she was sleeping and I said that if I would be woken up by that I
01:00:04
would react violently I was like I just like looked up and I was like I knew you would wear it Tom if I got it for you yeah on my Twitter there's a picture of Ben and I wearing that exact mask last year at E3 so they you know they went two e3s in a row with the exact same masks so that that's that's sufficiency yeah I'm glad I got some face time uh night rer ask disc oando who defaced your chair but who had the idea to deface his chair wouldn't it be more facing his chair because it didn't have a face beforehand yes that's the Gap all right so that's it for our questions and answers we move on to looking ahead thank you everybody for participating in the RSI chat uh looking ahead we have the dragonfly sale that'll go up uh later today later to no no specific time
