9. 00:07:00

   about balancing so many ships the toughest part is that there are so many ships those there's more than 50 in the day and they all have to feel different to each other and be enjoyable especially when everyone's got their favorite ship and they want their ships be the best oh okay what is the best part of our balancing solutions I because there are so many you can do lots of nice little interesting things and seeing the owners feedback on what you've done to their ship and how much they like it or dislike it and then do something about it what can you tell us about being able to rock our ships so that's something you'll be able to do in 3.0 you can do that at the moment from the dashboard in warship there's a

10. 00:07:50

    interaction the dashboard which locks or the external doors so when you press that you're the only person that can expose doors until you press the button again to allow everyone to see how it's flying in hydras different than flying on morning it's obviously much slower and you've still got manual control like the smaller ships but see it's it's much more reduced in its rotational velocities but it's also going to be the helmsman's display say it's more flying by weight points what work has been done on making turns better so I'm actually in a meeting straight after this where we're going down into the progress we've made on turrets they completely change with their setup in lighting tomorrow so a lot of the features like Shara
