2. 00:00:49

   tngs tngs came out last week and it was kind of a look at what the teams were up to what they're updating as they're going through what they're on their sabatical updating their ships and so can't wait so we get back to their regular scheduled broadcast and see what they're up to as they go forward those ships are looking fantastic we have some new hires this week at Foundry 42 we had Steven Rutherford he's a sound designer and we had Ricky jutley he's in production Ricky you may know he's he just come from traveler tales and he did produce the Lego Hobbit game which uh I just took out six wi my youngest to go byy last week so uh we're supporting him and his team and it looks pretty good so far um Behavior continues to the asteroid hanger take a look at this here we have behaviors working on the asteroid hangers it's coming up with the room system it's going to be fully PBR looks

3. 00:01:37

   brilliant those guys up there working very hard Mark skelton's giv us SM Direction and we have a lot of meetings with them it looks really really good love what they're doing up there packs East and the dog fight mods will reveal so we had a really really good time up in Boston last week we met a lot of the citizens we had about 1500 of our closest friends hang it out in the booth uh things didn't go completely as we wanted but they went pretty close and the people we met were amazing people loved what we're up to and God it was can't wait for the next one in in Germany it should be really fun and you guys all over the world amaze us with your enthusiasm and your support and we cannot thank you enough it's amazing and guess what time it is now it's time for Forum feedback feedback feedback always good hey this week we actually

4. 00:02:24

   have you here we we ran the for feedback last week and like there was you were there was no Rob there was no for feedback there was no for feedback we were working pretty hard we were a little busy we were a little busy we're still a little busy we still a lot busy but not quite as frantic is last we that's true that's true but I'm sure that frantic pace is going to keep coming back up because we need to we need to get that module out to the to everybody else so they can play it shall we get right to it let's get to it all right let's see how many names I can butcher this week really awesome names I know I see that from sagulator NPCs in the verse will they get better the more we use them or will they have skill sets that don't improve no matter how much time you use them H that's that's a really interesting question I actually looked at that question I said Chris this is a question I would like to answer to I'm very excited about your answer to this so yeah what he he said is um they will get better so level up essentially essentially kind of a behind

5. 00:03:13

   the scenes leveling up thing but there are going to be you know they're differentiated so not everybody can be a level 10 we'll call it that a level 10 Gunner for instance different characters will have different caps for different skills wow and it'll be up to them to discover which ones can do what so that they have to them that's pretty cool I like that I like that a lot from Jer will there be a possibility to infiltrate the law enforcement advocacy and navy and create a secret organization of dirty cops just can't imagine such big world without corruption bad boys bad boys what you going to do what you going to do when they not about corrupted cups oh that's true that's true cup Stars so yeah right so what what happens are we going to be able to corrupt the the cops so well there will be some places where corruption is a Poss abbility in the

6. 00:04:00

   verse um it's not going to be something that the players jump in there and infiltrate I me we we need law enforcement for it's a tool for us and for our game Masters to to keep things under under control in the universe to some extent you know keep problem players under wraps I think the forums could use some of that right about now just kidding from Fatal tarus well the Idris Corvette or should I say Idris frot notice how I changed Idis to Idris there be able to land in space stations and or planets well the answer to that is we're not sure yet there was a time when we were pretty sure that it was going to land but then something happened and the address sort of grew it's grown and

7. 00:04:47

   turned into a frig so not sure yet so that's almost a TBD you know back to back to the old TBD days but that you know that's one of those things we'll find out as we do the Planet Side environments and we do the the size of the ships and we take a really big landing pad for that right right can always dock in space m um from Trix X will be able to develop our own HUD designs and release them into the persistent Universe the short answer to that is no no um while there may be some opportunities for players to play with Huds on their own local servers um that's it's a huge undertaking and it's not necessarily something that's going to be easily customizable in the first place I mean there may be some ways to move screens around and everything as far as player configurations of their

8. 00:05:34

   Huds but it's not going to be something that you here's my new HUD everyone can have it sort of situ right there's a lot of hookups that go into that from on the back end or from this the uh technology side it's a very technical task yeah right but who's to say I mean with with our fans out there the citizens out there they may do they may cook something up that's off out of this world and you know you send it in you know that's all if somebody does something really cool I can't imagine us saying no so we'll see how that goes from Tron as an IRL and in some games missiles can be dodged or at a minimum evaded so the detonation is further away from the aircraft body will the ability to evade missiles using flight skill other than using en counters such as asteroids and flares will that be in the game so yeah actually it's already in the game um in the sense that our missiles all have a LIF span so they

9. 00:06:24

   will they don't just fly around following you forever so they do eventually detonate if if you're a good enough pilot then in theory you could Dodge a missile long enough for it to explode far away from you or near somebody else or whatever but generally countermeasures and intervening obstacles are the best way to go to scrape a missile off your tail in the shortest amount of time okay cool oo from Gilda will we be able to earn any certificates that may help us get more work in the persistent Universe such as medical search and rescue or bounty hunting so that's not really a I I think if you're thinking of it in terms of badges for instance it's not it's not like you get a merit badge and suddenly you can you know build a fire in the universe or whatever but it's it's more of a reputation thing there not not any we're not going to

10. 00:07:13

    gate based on the license most of these things if you want to do it you can do it you may not be as good at it as other people but you know that's it's it's available there may be some things that based on your reputation with certain organizations you get access to different missions or better missions or harder missions but you'll still have access to do those things okay so it's not like a license essentially right right cool from elijan are there plans to offer upgraded improving gits for purchase ingame so GeForce tolerances can be increased yeah I'm sure they all saw the I I black out a lot I mean almost black out I never black out completely yeah I'm sure that that happened at at the uh dog fight reveal we had we were showing that up there and it was seem to like that a lot it's hard it is well so are we going to be able to

11. 00:08:02

    upgrade your suit so yeah actually we are going to we we've already been talking about some some upgrades to Suits so that you can lessen that the impact of blackouts and red outs because they can be a little challenging true true true from 5 by five will the cockpit design be different in older and rare derck ships that can be salvaged and restored or sold on the collector's Market finding a first vuel war Hornet floating on the borders of Orion perhaps or even an even rarer interwar War design wow that is a tough question to get through there's a whole lot of cascading assumptions in that question too it's like there's just going to be random ships lying around from whenever um you put on your Eva suit and flying around the verse until you bump into a deric ship just some random it's like oh this one was mentioned in

12. 00:08:50

    Jump Point number four yeah so starting with the first assumption and unraveling it a little bit as as we've told you all many times before for a ship in our universe is a huge huge undertaking there it is a big long timeline with a lot of things that have to be done to get that game worthy so it's not like we're going to be running into just random one-off ships all over the place we just it can't be done easily so you know things might be added over time but we'd rather move forward than back probably so if there are occasionally some of these older ships thrown in then yes maybe they would have different Huds I guess is the answer to the original question different cockpits

13. 00:09:38

    yes right but don't expect to just be tripping over random ships all over the place when you're you would think that like if you find something even if there were something populated out there in the verse then it wouldn't necessarily be um something you just jump in and fly home you know maybe maybe you'd have to tow it or or tractor beam it so to speak so even at that point you still wouldn't be able to do what they're asking so from random will organizations be able to capture planets in some way and make them their home base and set up Landing fees Etc and if they will how will other organizations players be able to capture the planet back so we've answered questions like this before in the sense that Chris doesn't necessarily Envision us doing whole planet ownership early on that that might be a longer term goal and we would have to have systems in place for that kind of event um right

14. 00:10:26

    now if you're talking about organizations fighting over territory it's more going to be space stations and the answer to how you get it back is you invade the space station board it take out everybody who's on it so 420 million stretch go Planet organizations obviously not take over from rorn we need to talk about the serious stuff any chance to get a this is PS Chris Robert shirt or hoodies or coffee cup whatever I mean come on that's the best quote of the past event it was awesome that the two most epic moments of the live I forgot about that that one and the running into The Landing Pad when he first launched were both just awesome and of course Chris just handled it no problem you know

15. 00:11:15

    actually uh I was up direct I was up in the booth directing the live stream so I was like camera two camera three camera four and I had the headset on and I heard him said I went oh I wonder if I wonder if that went out into the universe yep that was loud enough for everybody to hear and yeah apparently so so yep but so are we going to are we going to get a uh This is BS coffee mug for them I really you know I I actually campaigned when I was talking to Chris today and and he said no probably not prob probably not probably not I mean I'm very sad about this it was awesome though it couldn't up you know maybe we could sneak in the vocal somewhere in the game you know was an Easter egg I'm sure I'm sure that would be our last day at work fun we'll miss you guys so the shirt here I noticed you got a uh Parker Terell paror what is that what is what's
