00:09:03
hover would indicate it's also capable of a vertical takeoff and landing and I'm curious if you could clear up this discrepancy is the ship actually capable of a vertical takeoff and Landing or does it require uh an Airfield or a strip to take off from we get that question a lot you guys so uh what do you think is it a vertical takeoff do you need a landing strip what's the story well I mean a lot of the ships have wheels so you can move them around I mean that's if you got a bunch of ships CR together on a say a carrier deck or whatever you have to be able to roll them around easily without lighting up the engines but all of our ships do have with their maneuvering thrusters have the ability to do Vall it just doesn't they don't necessarily always do it all right if you're exploring strange new worlds you're not necessarily going to find a place that has a landing strip good point that's true you you just got
00:09:50
to find the place to put it down right take them all right this is this is weird being back here by the way I'm it's weird having you back command and control from Scout a subscriber he says why is the Avenger so heavy 32,000 kg compared to similar similar similarly sized vessels this English language also I keep hearing the Avengers main center Front class one hardpoint is a larger size weapon than other fighter Siz ships well you know it surprised us too but we we built the Avenger we took it out there we weighed it and that's that's just how much it was that's just I think someone's hinting that Rob needs to update the ship that's page so this is going to happen yeah we'll put we'll put the Avenger on wingman's weight scale and just see where that's at all right from z z RIS how would you guys say that
00:10:41
would that be Chris I guess Chris let's just call it Chris sounds good there's been a lot of discussions about toilets and other immersion Factor being a waste of time I for one disagrees it's the little things that makes the universe feel alive and lived in what immersion supporting things do you plan to add to the game making tea or reading an animations perhaps now where are those sea shells well there you go um apparently he's immersed in his ship there um what kind of stuff are we going to add immersion Wise Guys you want more immersive than that toilet they love the toilet yeah but you know we're adding a lot of stuff we're actually meeting about that now right we talked about coffee makers and stuff one of my favorite QA tickets I've seen is someone who wrote in to complain
00:11:30
that they could use the toilet but not wash their hands afterwards so I'm sure that's coming things are dirty in space right that's a good point right hygiene is important in space it is absolutely right all right from cold he says if I get caught as a Smuggler could the consequence be that my citizenship gets revoked if yes would that mean that I have to give up my alibi life as Trader because I'm not a trusted citizen anymore that is a good question well yes we can take away citizenship we've said that many a time if you are nefarious you will not be us taking it away it's more like the game takes it away yeah you've got to sort of you earn it and you sort of can lose it yes but that doesn't mean you can't trade just because you don't have a glowing reputation with uee still jobs here's
00:12:19
the lesson just don't get caught don't suck better to ask for for forgiveness than permission I see where you're going with that Ben well look since can you guys see where we are in the script me either no next page from Kil thrus who's a subscriber thank you will there be non-lethal alternatives for first-person shooter combat such as stun guns or handcuffs for subduing players handcuffs yes absolutely we have a whole company uh for that of Technology Rus off yes yes so that's that's a good answer good guy good job work on spat for man we used love all right all right from Ken who's also a subscriber thank you guys for had a lot of subscriber questions this this week this is great oo we've had this before but this is a good question can I smuggle a bunch of people in the trunk of an Avenger or
00:13:08
other ships what do you think Ben I just want to know why what what are you doing with those people where are you smuggling them too exactly I mean it seems possible Right the answer is yes yes you can cram people into the spaces in your ships but you know I don't even want to know why NOP too much information is this the people before they're in the wood shipper or after the wood chipper you can fit a lot more that's true more people anyway whatever from Colonel Pixley he says this is Colonel Pixley of pick and shield mining Security Group transmitting from my hanger in new Austin as an anti-pirate it is My Prerogative to return stolen goods to the rightful owners therefore since we know whether cargo can be identified as to whether it's stolen or not can we identify to whom it
00:13:57
belongs if so thank you oh that's a good question can we identify whose stolen cargo belongs to yeah the the design of the tagging systems as it stands right now does include the ability to identify the owner so you can return it because otherwise you could get busted for having stolen cargo yourself I guess we need a messaging system or something to let people know that you've gotten their cargo or that would be a good idea a lost and found board or something lost and found board okay all right from zindo he says will be possible to obtain a neutral or positive reputation with alien races that are hostile to the UE absolutely uh the Vandal aren't cuddly the Vandal are not cuddly but uh yeah if you're going to go off there trading with the Banu or the Zan uh UE may not like it sometimes but uh you can
00:14:46
do that yeah so you can get you can up your reputation with the other alien races by dealing with them in a at least some of them some of them fair enough that makes sense don't don't try to trade with the Vandal they just no it's just a bad idea they'll take kidneys oh good lord all right from Kaz Kazi who's also subscriber will there be a version of the constellation that will accommodate an M50 in place of the p-52 Merlin on its Flight Deck visions of carrying along my stealth explore racer across the verse sounds all kinds of awesome is that wishful thinking yeah keep dreaming well you're saying it's not easy to change the geometry of the ship you have to rebuild the entire interior of the ship to do that it's not easy yeah so no no not the wish probably not all right from Dragonfire malice he says oh hey wingman I just finished a
00:15:38
pretty lucrative job and I'm heading to Tera to buy some new toys and was wondering if you knew what kind of handheld Weaponry will be available on the market I mean we've all heard of the bearing p4c and everybody knows the famous archite but how about other weapons like a souped up space revolver or even a katana let me know good question what will be handheld weapons on the market a spoon no wait um we have crossbow right crossbow uh laser pistol that everyone has already got well people have backed early enough uh what else do we have we have we might have
00:16:25
swords swords everybody wants swords light swords sort of a saber like light sword thingy my God you guys are totally tearing it up here all right making it up all right from no from noan a subscriber is the world of Squadron 42 the same as a persistent Universe for example if I visit the goth system in Squadron 42 and build a relationship with an NPC will it move over to the player Universe we guess it is the same same world and your actions in Squadron for 42 are going to affect your reputation in Star Citizen squatter 42 takes place before the persistent Universe starts so it's kind of a prequel in that sense um you may not have a chance to build a relationship with an MPC in that way but you will uh you'll absolutely do things
00:17:13
in Squad 42 and change people's minds in certain ways that will show up in Star Citizen and you're going to be in the military in Squad 42 you're not going to be out visiting systems will you take some cookies to my grandmother it's not a very good Mission that's actually a pretty good fine fine cookie Mission okay all right right from grey Lobo he says I'm a truck driver and I happen to have a very cheaply made truck probably what we would call the this planet's version of Drake Corporation there it is international that's what we deal with and this is the quality that we can expect from them as you can see that is a greasy footprint on my ceiling can we expect to see little tid bits like that just appear randomly on the ships we buy from Drake so scooches
00:18:02
and smudges guys well yes absolutely the universe is full of scooches and smudges and uh your ships are going to look lived in yeah and we've talked about the wear system several times so you know ships will get dirtier as you go oh there you go that's a good point from who's also subscriber and apparently this is a forum feedback feedback feedback question Rob something we've had before MH in episode 42 it sounded like we can only do the Squadron 42 campaign once per account in a previous episodes of wingman's hanger it was said that your next of kin could also play through the Squadron 42 campaign can we please get some clarity on this oh good question okay so to clarify my answer last week all I said that was that your next IFK did not have to play through the campaign because the benefits only applied once to each character slot right so you can choose
00:18:50
to you just aren't going to get additional benefits from it since you've already gotten them once yeah you're buying the game you you can play it as many times as you want absolutely that's a very good point no we're not going to stop you from playing the game that's right right you can play it as me and you know you might want to because you might want to check the decisions you've made along the way and decide whether you want to try something different check a different branch out sure after hearing what the f 42 guys are planning I you are definitely going to want to play true knowing Aaron Nick and Phil and digs especially you guys are up for uh something really special from Lone Wolf he says so I was browsing through all the different stretch goals that we have unlocked and I came across the 5 million Mark there it states tablet companion application to check on your inventory commission or find missions and get the Galactic news
00:19:39
feed is this going to be an app that you can download onto our iOS or Android devices or was this a first look into the Mobi glass feature that's a good question uh it's one of our stretch goals okay uh the answer is yes it is an actual app for your tablets your iPads and whatever the ones that aren't iPads are called and and uh you're going to be able to interact with the star season Universe on the go AR iPads are called Surface Microsoft no the Microsoft service fair enough fair enough that was actually really I like that a lot from fuzzer a subscriber will the caterpillar B in the asteroid hanger or the deluxe hanger oo that's a good question it's a Rob question asteroid wasn't that easy that was easy so that's where it's going to be then it'll the caterpillar will be in the
00:20:26
asteroid hanger if you have a bunch of ships we make have to do some fiddling with it but yes asteroid hanger is the target hanger for we should check in on that one of these days see see where we're at on the asteroid hanger we should uh yeah get a Presa and see what he's up to I think that'll be fun from Sarah whiskey Carter this is star citizens artificial intelligence I have an inquiry the NPC grman players will be able to hire will they be controlled by me all the time or will the players be able to give them more detailed commands well that's a good question can we give NPCs hired NPCs more detailed commands so you're saying can we be some sort of wing Commander that's that's pretty good I'm not going to give you the great on that but I will give you the pretty good so pretty reasonable so the answer though is what we going to be able to do that yes yes you can tell the guy in
00:21:14
your turret to go kill that vuel or U make you some tea or whatever you want make you some tea go go body not a promise not a reded not confirmed from Natron he says during boarding and first- person combat inside a ship do we have to worry about damaging the ship oh that's uh yes yeah oh yeah don't be carrying the rocket launcher inside your ship Rocket Launcher not confirmed dunk go shooting off that crossbow in any crazy direction right there you go fair enough fair enough so yeah you can worry about damaging the ship but I mean I imagine you're not going to have as much you know little phaser pistol is not going to be able to damage as much as you know the big big bad guns that we have that you've seen this week on The Hornet those things
00:22:00

my job hey guys guess what time it is it's time for post most valuable post over to me thanks me hi welcome to MVP I'm Ben Lesnik we're going to tell you what the most valuable post this week at the RSI forums was this week it goes to sailor 67 for his starting operation pitch for the plan to gather all the players together to invade vanuel space at the end of the beta uh it's just amazing to see staris and fans getting together to plan missions large scale missions uh well before the game is even playable uh it's really cool and uh we're GNA show those vanuel what for for raing
00:25:17
Armitage star ciens operation Pitchfork is go use the fork back to you Eric thanks Ben and now with point out this week it's time for our own Alistair fit Smithy to regil us with his mighty Pros take it away alist good evening or depending on your worldview Etc today's episode is from
00:26:06
chapter four of the void rats by Douglas nil Nia Antoinette looked about the cabin is everybody strapped in for the jump you can see that I am the two women occupied the flight deck of the plume tail while Jackson sat above in the dorsal turret and mle stretched out in the tail ready to use the newly repaired particle Cannon the two men acknowledged their Readiness over the Cal but Nia hesitated you take the helm for the jump Don't Mind If I Do serene's Supple thin fingers stretched across the controls as she applied power to the jump drive the ship shuddered slightly as the computer program took over steering them through the Maze of interspace I'd like to pause for a moment from our narrative in progress as
00:26:54
you may have noticed we have introduced a cast of four characters Jackson and McLean at the guns and Nia and Serene at the flight controls in addition there have been several moments of foreshadowing specifically the arming of the guns and Nia's hesitation before the jump I should note that very soon we may expect a plot twist this literary device called an inciting incident is designed to prel us into the second act and create deeper emotional investment in the imagination of the audience let's see what happens finally with bar a shiver they emerg from the shimmering Aura of the jump Point into the null system bogey Dead Ahead a long metallic ship lay sideways across their path The Vessel was huge battered and terribly familiar it's that carrier snapped Antoinette the carrier's hatches burst
00:27:42
open to discour a whole Squadron of lethal Fighters led by the silver spider so much for the element of surprise wasn't that just lovely note how we abruptly ended our narrative with a somewhat manipulative device called called a cliffhanger this is a classic method of audience engagement and a blatant inducement to continue the story in the next serial episode let's wrap this up shall we Serene instinctively pushed the plume tail into an emergency maneuver the story continues in issue number 11 of jump point I'm Alistair Sinclair fit Smithy good afternoon good evening Etc thanks Alistair and now it's time for
00:28:32

00:30:13
that came up with the word lisp and now look who's here with me hey Dave what's up hey hey so we actually we we this may be the first and only time in the history of Austin that there are three people in this room from Baytown Texas that's pretty good we've got you good we got me and we got oh my God Michael Morland back well we got the we got the ganders the ganders and well the other guy oh you went to Sterling he went to Sterling we're ganders we're ganders he's a ranger so Gander weather Gander weather yeah quack quack quack I these people have no idea what's going on that's our fighting logo we were we
00:31:02
instead of like you know generals or tigers or cougars we were geese yes well you know there's there a story there so we were Roberty Lee High School and yeah you'd think we'd be the generals or the rebels or something absolutely but because a little creek went right by our school named Goose Creek Creek we were originally The Goose Creek ganders and so when they changed the name of the high school to Robert E Lee they kept the nickname and I didn't even know that there you go see a little trivia there way back I I knew Goose Creek was there but I didn't know that that was the name of the it used to be Goose Creek High School way back in the day well that that was before our time though it was before my time even but yeah and that high school burned down after we left right it did and I I promis I have nothing to do with it n now him I don't know that ankle bracelet seems to be going off right about now so but after that I mean we we um we've worked
00:31:51
together quite a long time you've um and you've worked with Chris quite a long time you go back you you were origin I was at origin back uh started in the early 90s about 94 something like that so my first Wing commander game was Wing 3 in fact they were just about it was beginning of '94 and they were just about to start production of wing 3 so I was out there on the set and and did all that work with Chris that was a lot of fun and and from then on uh you know until he he went to Da where where you know you were at origin too but but I know you you worked I didn't work at digital envil but uh that's true just at origin just yeah you stayed on at origin I stayed on at origin till about uh 2000 2001 then had a stint over at NC soft when Richard and Robert started NC soft up so I went over there and worked with
00:32:37
them for a while and now I'm back as soon as Chris comes back in the business uh I'm back with him so that's great but you guys had you helped Chris I mean one of the biggest things you know you first of all have you ever seen anything like this no I I I continue to use the word mindboggling what's going on but uh you know I I knew that there was a real core audience of space Sim fans back when I was doing Wing commander and this has just proven that there are you they they've been there for a long time and I think Chris is sort of uh you know reminded them about you know what he can do and what's going on on the team he can put together and and it's all coming together I you know I it is my I'm not quite surprised that the there's such a fervor for for the game I agree but uh
00:33:27
what's what they've done what the with the fan group what the community has done as a result is that's that's the thing that's blown me away it's it's it's heartwarming but you know the funny thing is Wing Commander was always the bestselling game at origin I mean by a long way right I mean he was the one strike Commander Wing Commander he was the one breaking Millions back when a million was a massive hit on PC side you know way back when games were still still getting going and our parents are telling us why are you making games for a living get a real job you know yeah you remember what is this yeah when I when I left TV and went into gaming uh you know it it took a while for my family and and everybody and my family to kind of used to like you're doing this gaming thing this is weird because I've been in this sort of the sty TV news business for 15 years so it was uh it was quite a change but boy I tell you
00:34:15
I have never looked back it's been it's been a great move for me true true now you do here at cig you manage all the media stuff so anytime we release something out there like the Hornet commercial we just did this week why don't you take us through the process what what happens when like for instance we release it to we partner with somebody to give them a little Runway now why do we do that fans want to know why do we do that sure no that's uh and that's that's a great question and here's why um uh we we are always looking for another audience another another group of readers or another group of fans that that maybe haven't heard about Star Citizen and so what we do is I'll line something up with with a PO or an IGN or you one of those familiar sites um and you know if if they're interested they they get it a
00:35:03
little bit ahead of when we post it on RSI and and that just gives their their fans a chance to see something before anybody else and and hopefully brings in more Star Citizen fans more backers for us um and then we flip it usually you know 15 minutes to an hour later on our own site so everybody else can uh can see what it's all about but it's it's just a it's just a you know it's a short amount of time but it's a way for us to maybe get the message to another group of people yeah and that's a standard practice I mean and we're going to continue to do that because you know even though we have we're having an amazing amount of people 280,000 folks out there have joined us there's still Millions out there that you know they don't even know anything about it and so the more we can get off our site and drive more people to us the better the game becomes we have more players to play against and play with the universe is better and it's just a better game overall yeah and you know I think the next step uh you know for what I I'd
00:35:51
like to see is to Branch out even Beyond sort of that that core gaming group of of media and start getting some more consumer level people to kind of take notice of what we're doing here so uh you know there's there there are my orders probably for the next few months well there you go and there and there's plenty of that to do and there we always have stuff coming out we always Chris one thing Chris has done he's very Visual and he's very um understanding of what we need to get done to get out there to grab the attention of folks and and to bring them on I mean he's incredible as far as that goes absolutely yeah he's uh he's definitely got that Vision that goes beyond just a regular game and U and and you know we've always had that kind of feedback you know again if you go back to the wing Commander days you know he was the one that really brought sort of a Hollywood element into the gaming you know Mark Hamill Malcolm mcdal Tom
00:36:39
Wilson Ginger Allen and that just that just opened up a whole different level of you know on mind of things press and media they really hadn't didn't know much about gaming uh and that brought them all in so Chris has always had sort of had that vision and that sort of part of it yeah absolutely well I mean he even did that with the originals where he he did did the speech packs right right so he's the one who drove that whole creative lab can almost say Chris Roberts built their company because he did speech packs he was ahe of the game there then he did the the the Hollywood people like you just talked about and now we're even doing that here too we have high-end Hollywood Talent making spaceships for our game true and you know and he's tying in you know like the next great Starship and stuff he's really he's always way and you know there how many times have you gone okay huh never thought of that and boom it
00:37:27
goes and it's amazing well I think I think he bring and you just said it and I'll I'll reiterate it but that that sort of Hollywood element that he got for 10 years when he left the gaming scene and came back you're seeing that with uh the 300i commercial and the and the Hornet commercial I mean that's some high production AAA quality visuals that you just don't see in a game and it's all it's all an engine that's that's what's amazing you look at those things and you go wow well that's let me get my hands on one of those and that's it and again and he's also said you know PC games are dead where we've been told in the world that PC games are dead and that just it's not true right you know and so it's it's just one of those things that it's incredible to to be a part of this whole thing I mean you know and thanks Chris for that and and I mean I don't want to sound like a big Chris Fest here but it's he's shocking
00:38:14
sometimes with how how good he is in these things I great so cool so you share an office here at Cloud Imperium this is we've been pretty close together but this is probably than we normally are in not by much I mean we we're like we're we're jammed in that little Tinder Box can you can you believe two guys with probably the loudest voices in the office are in the same office so uh when one of us gets a phone call the other one usually has to leave because there's just no getting any work done now it's like how are you doing how are you doing how are you doing put us back in the corner so nobody else can hear all the all the stuff going on nobody puts baby in the corner that's true that's true I want to thank you very much for joining us and coming on here pleasure you know oh speaking of you're the guy who introduced if fans would want to know when we did Gamescom you're the guy
