00:02:25
um and a marketing artist and a marketing artist um no uh no higher yet we're just in the first phase of interviews you know we've talked to people on Skype and then next we bring them in uh that's really boring uh I am listening wow we also started our our diets back up this week yeah I don't want to promise them diets because I'm so bad at okay yes is she sitting here with a tray it's really pathetic but yeah these are from Kalyan I hope I pronounce that right and um you got well I guess you're not having sugar then I'm not having sugar but yeah well I'm good I want to try one disgraceful and that this last one and I'm gonna join you guys excuse me wait what are those green ones there so
00:03:15
for the ever popular question what did you guys have for lunch this week which everyone loves focusing on the answer for this particular week and this awesome explains their demeanor was nothing yeah uh protein bars and protein shakes uh Hawaiian Punch light basically no carbs it's in carbs or brain food so there's no sugar is that what you guys are gonna do for next week what we're doing for I want to get in on this okay two packets of these yes good good work yes yes Sandy gave the 10 times for the team I want to try to change what else do we do this week sorry apologies to all your ears oh it's like hot it's like cocoa
00:04:06
kinda kind of like hot chocolate yeah oh okay I thought it was like candy or something thrilling uh television here so I guess that's what I did this week what about you Alexis we commit a movie last night yes I I know there's one of those things where we were like oh what should we watch and then was like oh what about the wing Commander movie and I was like okay and then I called her Bluff and he did and then he talked the entire time giving me facts about the wing Commander movie yeah yeah that's impressive so let Chris know that's what we did last night yeah you can't judge you made the weekend she sat through it once and gave him [ __ ] for it the whole time
00:04:54
yeah it says no one mentioned food right now or they will run to the kitchen I actually they were eating lunch in the commissary we have a commissary area and it had just been restocked yesterday so it had all kinds of food and carbs and I couldn't be in there for more than five minutes I had to go back to my desk and sit at my desk throughout lunch because I couldn't even be in the room it was it was too it was too much whereas I just sat there watching Hennessy yes yes yes yes I can't wait to fly my saber by the way when's happening where do you guys know that's one question you give these people such bleep for that and then your first question I just wanted to see what you'd say it's one of the joys of my job is is is putting things into the script to see if
00:05:41
Sandy will say them out loud it's the worst ones though like I was driving the crap all right let's see what did I do this week anything interesting just the interviews the the lots of work on the the Gamescom the game Gamescom planning yeah you did a great job on that by the way yeah it's one thing to design something that looks cool it's another thing to actually get it made we're having the same problem it's a 300i why do you do that because I'm the one who has to deal with the threads yeah yeah yeah they're asking if Sandy's hung
00:06:35
over because you're wearing sunglasses no no but my eyes I don't know why my eyes are so sensitive it's like her mascanada glasses actually they look like um yeah I can't think of it I asked her I wanted to wear them they're they're real they match my pants like in the post-apocalyptic world of Mad Max this would be your look yeah I feel like you'd like have those glasses and you'd like burn people with a blowtorch or something all right so since it's got weird yeah since we've all got no carb diet brain here we're just gonna go straight into the questions here actually my brain's going well no it's like there's like a lot of energy it feels like energy no I think after a few days of no carbs you start getting high yeah like you start yes but that's not related like energy wise you
00:07:24
start you get quite High uh what did you do this week yeah it's been a very quiet week for me uh I've been doing a little bit of internal planning for potential upcoming event type thing that I don't want to say too much about yet I love how you tape it off I've been doing it yeah this is we're still in the early planning stages so um you plan any cool merchandise yes we're planning some cool merchandise we're looking at uh new mouse pad design which is pretty sweet and um Squadron 42 dog tags I'm hoping to have those up for pre-order by the end of the month so yay yay uh what has Chris been up to he's been
00:08:13
in Germany right yes there was an AI Summit this week in Frankfurt and he's been aiing I guess see your brain's not working my brain is great it's Abby normal uh yeah oh and yes I got for those of you who passed uh who have mentioned it I got new glasses oh you did that's what's different about you I've seen literally nobody mentioned yeah I don't want to mentioned no it did it was right there Ollie did you just call him Alex what did your other ones look like uh they were they were like uh horn room frames they were like classic Ray-Ban uh yeah you know what I've been noticing how long ago you don't need you he came in on Monday and I looked at
00:09:02
his face his face is different and I just didn't know why the diet the glasses lots of glasses I think it's fun because we're all wearing glasses except for Justin it was in there I saw it all right mine aren't provision instead I was supposed to poke you so that was my that was your post I think that was more of like a push out of a chair on a different floor Hennessy was the only one I noticed he walked in Monday morning today new glasses like right away because he's like well he notices everything what about our two Lively QA folks I like them we have two new QA people here in uh Los Angeles including one who's dedicated to ship balance um and they are very enthusiastic it's kind of like uh in every World War One movie where there's all the like grumpy veteran pilots and then the new
00:09:49
Replacements come in and um they are showing up at 11 45. nice sorry to say hi meet them later okay they're all bright-eyed and bushy Tails one of them is yeah the other one's like normal he's he's such a nice nice thing I like both of those guys when is Kronos or something like that I don't I will admit I don't know I say Justin you've got no glasses wear your glasses go get your glasses I want to wear Sandy I didn't bring mine in the one day I didn't see sometimes you have your glasses yeah sometimes I do but I didn't bring them in today thank you that one guy
00:10:42
now you're going to be known as the guy who studies Jared's face very carefully switching into question that's no I'm giving Sandy and evil Blair right now four calories Times 11. Holy I just ate my whole day's worth of food is it chocolate in the middle too yeah it's pretty obnoxious it sounds delicious the Valentine's Day plans I'm gonna go to Red Lobster are you gonna bring anybody or just by yourself my wife isn't that an all-you-can-eat thing I don't think no Red Lobster it's like an Olive Garden just Seafood I've never been to red lands so they actually have lobster there is it just called Red
00:11:29
Lobster yeah they have lobster in there the Chinese type of person who's ever been to Red Lobster yeah go in and it's all hamburgers it's all I am no it's like all Seafood all types of seafood crab legs everything and cheddar bay biscuits the biscuits are I get full just on the biscuits I hate you all so much biscuits and then they just crumble when you're oh Justin wears fantastic trousers uh thanks guys from lame mule impressively mule um I warm just for you guys okay all right now is the time we're gonna go to questions from the peanut gallery uh please preface your question with the
00:12:17
word question surrounded by brackets it helps us pick it out from the uh from the detritus of chat they're talking about cheddar biscuits now I'm gonna bring some in them just the chatter you could say you know what next time we do our College [ __ ] you should go to Red Lobster here you go Ben oh yeah yeah I've seen this on a sub Forum a lot lately just curious where is the Redeemer at in the list of ships to be worked on uh not close uh it'll be a little bit further down the line uh it's scheduled out uh I think they take it up later in the year but uh it's not not one of the priority ships right now space food what gameplay do you envision
00:13:06
for things like kitchens and ships do we have any food based gameplay um not I don't think we have any specific food based stuff we talked about this early on and you know yes it's realistic that you have to eat in the universe but also it's not fun at all um as anyone who played any of those early ultimate games could attest did you ever play those games I played ultimate eight was there an eight there was an eight yeah I I didn't have yeah I didn't have it my friend had it we used to play it at his house no I remember like an ultimate four you you'd have I think it's four you had to feed your party just every 100 steps or something it's not the number
00:13:53
um and the the most efficient way to do that was just to buy a bunch of sticks of butter and you would just give your companions butter and uh that's satisfied there that's what made us the men we are now uh someone's enough I can get a job as our janitor uh check quite impairment game slash jobs you never know what's going to show up uh Starfire sneak peek details yes this week's sneak peek on around the verse were three more images of the star Fair including a look at the LOD work that's going on uh as a follow-up to last week's LED segment uh another shot of the interior which is looking fantastic the library in inside the start Affairs is it library or delivery I think it's February you just got back and sounds like you've got the bends there's
00:14:43
a bend over joke there and I'm not gonna um and then the third joke uh third joke and then the third image this is his third joke the starfarer and that third image was actually a look out the rear window of the starter fair so when you when you're when you're in the cockpit and you'll walk back in the cockpit there's actually a rear observation window and that's what you see you actually look over the rest of the ship there and that's a glimpse at what you'd see well not to undersell the rear window um but that is actually what makes it a sneak peek thing that I've seen before because the window is new it was added this week so much but two and I think we're gonna have to talk about doing some other things with the ship design because it should be more than just a uh tanker freighter it's yeah it's it's definitely has that uh you know Starbucks
00:15:31
Serenity vibe to it well what I'd like to see people do is you know when it becomes fight ready when it's in Crusader you load up an osr you load like eight people on the ship you let them all find hiding places and then you fly the ship out to to uh non-protected space and you have your own little flying FPS level in space and you let people you know fight each other until the last man standing you win some kind of prize it's like starfare FPS combat that's what I'd like to see what if people are just going to fill it with big Benny's machines and yes well there's that when will we get a Ben bobblehead right now oh boy can we get time to play music no let's not have Tom mess with Anything
00:16:19
Audio related although related to Ben bobbleheads but oh that's an evil look oh my gosh holy hell comes out today also that's right yes I didn't that's right I should include that I mean we can review uh subscriber Flair will be attributed today and is the Mustang beta model this month and next month we start a brand new series really cool okay you want to give us a hint to what that series is did I give us a hint yeah because then people will be like I want to subscribe to get this cool say what it is yes so we're going to be starting a space plant series which we were seeing
00:17:08
you know the team from Behavior kind of went through the suggestions thread that was up in the sub Den we sort of all looked at what we thought would be a good series and that seemed to be the coolest one so along with the space plant series we'll also be releasing um one of the stretchboard rewards which was the so we'll have a new subscriber Flair next month and at the same time we release that will also have the stretch goal for anybody eligible for that so it's a pretty cool series I'm into it I like the pictures I saw yeah yeah they're pretty cool cats go by too fast guys I can't I can't keep up with it he's getting old well it's like I think I don't think slow
00:17:55
mode is working Mobius uh could you please move the mic thing behind the laptop the back laying behind the Mac laptop isn't actually on [Music] it's probably the mic right next to this laptop here this one over here I don't think that's where the sound is coming you mean does it sound like a vacuum because that's probably our room that's the live stream box oh okay that's Tom making a noise okay all right any updates on Cross chassis downgrade uh no just checking through a bit about that um I don't think it's be too long it'll let them try to pop up
00:18:43
with some they have quite a list of things they're doing yeah the downgrade and the uh can you do it if it's equal value cross-grade some downgrades that I think are both on the list everything see what you need to do uh any updates on the citizen con 2016 venue Stephen the Contracting all right we have to sign some papers and then it's done so we'll let you know after that um when questions guys can't do them uh and uh you know I saw a thread about this other forums we say that not because we hate your question it's because we want you to ask us a question we can answer only Leto hits your question
00:19:33
there's a lot of spice on this one when will the star Fair be on sale again or actually it doesn't say one this is will the starter Beyonce again yes yes it will we'll bring it back um when uh when it goes hanger ready mm-hmm I see a few questions about model kits for ships um potentially down the line but nothing at them come on we have a special guest who's visiting today it's Austin space hero dick Ross hi Jake Ross how you doing how y'all doing good yeah come on slide in here closer to the table okay see his eyes is like get him in frame get him in frame I know so you're in the you took a break from your
00:20:20
training uh yeah I took a break uh we're doing some Microsoft Project training here uh we're doing a little lunch break instead of eating lunch I'm gonna come and sit with you guys we have some uh Nestle Milo you want to eat some of that food all the nutrition you need yes is this is what Jake Ross looks like not on a webcam nice not clear it's great so how you doing good what are we up to why don't we just chat with the fans uh somebody just asked about that pendant Ben that you they see you wearing it every week but they don't know what it is oh this is from the Lincoln matter movie um this is not actually a prop name it actually made and sold these for a while in 1999 for some reason um it's the uh the pendant that uh the
00:21:10
main character wears in the movie Junior I said Jake Ross we have you here tell us everything about persistence about persistence let's see um we actually are in the process of updating the schedule a little bit there uh we have um 2.3 coming out here uh fairly soon 2.2 is coming out soon 2.3 but after that 2.4 will be after that this is Jake Ross teaches you numbers yes so uh yeah so we're kind of in the process of figuring out okay what parts of persistence do we want to come online and when uh we are we have Jason Ely and Jeff zoo and Austin who are working on that as long as um along with the turbulent helping us out on the platform side uh we also have uh worm bite helping us out in Denver so we've got
00:21:57
lots of lots of fingers and hands involved in making persistence work and I saw an email I really liked from I think Jeff Zoo it's like fish persistence issues yeah we're having to revamp a lot of our some of our old code and and you know the stuff that came on really early on in the project like the crab and the fish um there's uh there's lots of stuff we have to go in and update because we've we've kind of changed the way a lot of things in our game work from a foundational level gotcha so that's tomorrow then yeah tomorrow it'll come out tomorrow don't worry okay yeah and uh the most popular question that's showing up here is uh about shopping yeah would you tell us about the the shopping system yeah so we're doing the same thing with shopping trying to figure out um okay we have a design owner for shopping what parts of
00:22:46
shopping do we want to release and when we want obviously buying and selling we want the to complete that cycle of remote storage and inventory um so we're trying to figure out all that and shopping is one of those things that we also have lots of people from around the company working on we've got design we've got um oh God damn it oh that's awesome it's um we tried to find him but I don't know where he went it's a guy apparently called Alex who's a photographer who's a fan who just dropped off Krispy Kreme donuts and then he ran away oh my God I could smell them get them away however I'd like to say thank you to
00:23:38
Alex that is awesome the photographer who ran away the rest of the team really enjoy that so cool oh my God they're eating them already yes I think Sandy's diet just ended foreign working for Sandy is a delight uh yeah so shopping we have uh going back to the topic um yeah we have people like a behavior
00:24:27
working on UI related stuff Zane bien is overseeing that uh that worked on the kind of the interface itself we've got back-end functionality being developed in Austin as well as behavior for that yeah we have a we have a pretty good prototype working right now um that we can we can show off maybe in the future around the verse or something um and we're working on the next next little bit of that um so let me turning the Prototype into an actual functioning feature in-game so uh one of the things people request often they see the uh some of the MPS uh the arena Commander shirt they've seen the arena Commander shirt on NPCs yeah before yeah but that possibly be something included in the story uh yeah absolutely so uh cool thing about Star Citizen we used to have all we have all
00:25:14
these these logos and brands that have been created for the game and all of that is usable and we've we've you know created a little uh little polos for for cubby blast employees it's got like about cubby blast logos on them before so I can imagine that we'll have plenty of of Apparel in Star Citizen with uh with lots of different uh branding and logos and stuff that we have including the arena Commander shirt so in fact we've been talking about a system where you buy an actual shirt and then you'd also get one in the game so oh yeah yeah a little digital extra yeah you didn't talk about that with me you need to talk about that with me you talked about that maybe it's just Sandy that yeah I've never heard about it but that's a great idea yeah I like the idea yeah any word on the updated ship status page
00:26:06
uh yeah it's one of those things that's on the list for turbulent period yeah it's just it's just that there's a lot on their list yeah German does more than just the website that's the important thing now they actually do a lot of work on the on with the with the with the with the back end with the launcher with uh I mean they do the star map them and they do a lot for us so it's it's and that and they don't have infinite resources just like we don't have infinite resources so that it's about prioritizing and stuff and and while ship while we know everybody wants ship status we want ship status and stuff it's just there are other things that we want just a little bit more sometimes but it'll get there uh you missed that idea what the posters
00:26:55
too sell a real poster and get a digital one in here oh we got that in the works too yep we just have to figure out how to sell digital real posters which has been an issue with our system in the past uh when is org 2.0 that's also it goes the same thing they're it's in the list although I did when Benoit was here two weeks ago we got I got to see a mock-up of the of the organizational forums and stuff uh a whole brand new bespoke system not based on the vanilla forms that we're currently using so uh it's in the works um how will landing and takeoff work with smaller ships from bigger ships like landing on the small ship to the bigger ship I think like like a Carrier Landing kind of thing yeah Hornets taking off from the inside of a
00:27:43
finger um I mean I feel like we've shown it before we have it on uh I think you see ships taking off on Landing during the morrow tournament yeah I I think if I had to assume that the person's asking uh to talk about whether you'll have full control over it whether it'll be Auto assisted or hey we've talked about having an option basically because landing on a carrier is supposed to be incredibly hard so there's like an ACLS system like Community matter but uh we also talked about having a manual for you know badass super Pilots is anyone at cig going to see Deadpool this weekend yeah I'm seeing it tonight at the Chinese Theater yeah yeah who are you going with uh we got a buddy from college that I'm gonna visit here let Jake visit with his friend that's
00:28:39
cool I'm surprised Tom isn't going TN oh Thomas has given Thomas's name the thumbs down the thumbs down of course we know that okay that's really mean but Jake Ross and I are big X-Men fans yeah so we we've talked about our mutual love for X-Men form I read through this Fantastic Four you did yeah I haven't gotten through all of them yet but they're actually really good yeah no kidding surprised you know I'm not a huge Fantastic Four fan but have you got into the Hickman stuff are you still in the marketplace okay yeah it really cracks up when you get to the John the Hickman the Mark Miller stuff is just like a prequel yeah sounds good stuff really good but the Miller stuff was good but yeah excited about Deadpool awesome we did see how Caesar this week oh that's right we saw that was a week or week on Tuesday a weekend review
00:29:32
was all right it's it's not my favorite Cohen Brothers movie it's a lot Tamer than some of the other stuff which I kind of liked I don't know it was refreshing a little bit yeah it was mid-range Cohen Brothers but I liked it too yeah I think in the next two weeks I'm gonna do my Cohen Brothers marathon and see all the movies no they'll place it in the pantheon of killing brothers movies I expect it to be in the bottom half yeah um when will cig be attending a Canadian convention well we had a fire citizen in Montreal uh last week actually yes that we forgot to mention in around the verse okay we'll do it in the next episode I've got pictures from we'll show some pictures from uh the event uh but uh and we'll hopefully do that again soon yeah it was a nice size bar it's in uh 30 40 people they said wow looked like uh that
00:30:21
includes the people from turbulent and from behavior that that were in attendance uh did a couple ship giveaways got we skyped in and took some questions from the from the live crowd it looked like it was a lot of fun and long-term answer is you know this year we are buckling down not doing so many conventions um because the the big deal is finishing things up um we will after that once uh once Squadron is out once uh Star Citizen is you know there's a whole university you guys to explore then we will uh take some of the money that comes in from that and we'll uh you know do a world tour and attend all the conventions people keep asking us to go to you know I would love to do like Toronto uh Toronto didn't want to go to Toronto will the Argo fit inside a caterpillar
00:31:11
we'd have to build the caterpillar first then I can't say if the Argo will fit on the caterpillar but I was in a meeting about ships that fit in the caterpillar yesterday because that's a meeting we have here it requires a whole meeting well it was it was a meeting about a chip and then at some point it became crucial that we figured out during the meeting how many of them will go in the category it's a new one yeah all right here's interesting question as well what do you plan on doing after this amazing title is complete is there a certain role you're looking forward to playing in the game I'm gonna settle down somewhere in North America stay out of History's way that's the first Contact answer how about you Jake Ross you know I've
00:32:00
mentioned this a couple times but my favorite [ __ ] that we've uh designed concept that Al is the herald and I'm really excited about I don't know for some reason the prospect of being like an info Runner is kind of cool to me um like you've got some some secret Intel and you've got to get it somewhere before you know Pirates catch up with you or you actually you're probably a pirate at that point so you know the authorities catching up with you I don't know that that I think would be really cool and I think we could have some really interesting missions surrounded uh try that game play so Ally and I have talked about this and you know after Stars this is done really all we need are our solid gold house and our rocket car and uh I know I I I look at it there's there's Squadron 482 and there's Star Citizen and there's Squadron 42 2 and then
00:32:48
there's Stars whatever expansion for Star Citizen and then there's Squadron 423 so this is just like a never-ending cycle I expect to be doing this for a long long time and then I'm sure we'll do like catastrology stories yeah in the Microsoft Project training course they uh mentioned that the range of dates in years you can go from 1984 all the way to 2049 and we were like yeah we should schedule at the 24th now once the game's out I probably look forward to creating some linear content you know stuff that you would view inside the game kind of like in broadcast and stuff I hope to to be able to get into some of that I want to be a pirate not related to Star citizens it's in RL right yeah he saw that Tom Hanks movie and he was like yeah
00:33:43
uh can the cig Community team do a free-for-all match in Arena Commander I want to see who's the best pilot out of all of you we could do that yeah we've actually discussed uh doing something similar to that I I started uh pricing out some uh some streaming gear and stuff to maybe do a little more some more gameplay focused segments and this this plant actually involves Freddie Prince Jr by the way maybe we'll you know Freddy is not aware of any of these plans I will go ahead and spoil that when we all battle each other uh toast will be the best way no kidding what are we doing wrong
00:34:34
Freddy was his idea we actually had a uh a North American play test last week over there well I didn't quit on it it quit on me Austin Street the Austin Studio participated in a play test that uh La has been doing you guys been doing for a couple few weeks now right yeah
00:35:26
Tuesday afternoons yeah get everybody together and we do different things we get together for an hour just come over here he's constantly behind the scenes he doesn't know how to how to be in front of the camera we get together for an hour every Tuesday and we do a studio-wide play test and we focus on very specific things and work on so like everyone flies the same ship or we go in and we try to do stuff and and try to kind of see what we can uncover and also we all become better Pilots that like that yeah that's and that's something I just really need to do yeah it's okay it happens to the best we you know we get on a big Skype call or a Mumble that we did the other day I wasn't a fan of the Mumble but yeah uh and so it's not we're all playing in the
00:36:15
same like match of Arena commander and we're all talking yeah you know to each other so it's like there's real time like yeah and I think the Austin developers need to sync up with the LA developers more and like yeah oh yeah it's great Randy has been kind of you know running with that and it's been it's been it's been great you know great to fly ships that don't always get a chance to fly for one you know like we did everyone did n50s that was something you know to do a whole like massive you know 8 88 where everyone's in an M50 yeah but we're like why do I do nobody can hit anything and nobody I think we had five total kills in the whole like 30 minute match but uh yeah it's been a good time and we don't have anybody from the UK here but I have heard that this last day they did an Idris uh play test of some sort
00:37:03
yep that's pretty cool and no we don't have any video of it I already started out from Reading their Skype when we got in this video I already asked so that's how we become better pilots and better friends anyway Freddie Prince if you're watching we uh we got a spot for you uh is it possible to make the ICC Stellar surveyor sticker on your laptop available for purchase it's actually not a sticker it's one of the patches that we just stuck on the laptop and it is available in the story isn't it no no it's not available and like the fact that yeah we can we we can bring those back this year they were part of a patch set for subscribers last year it was the exclusive patch yes we can bring those back
00:37:53
but see this is It's Hollywood movie Magic it looks like a sticker even though it's a patch like how when you want to have a horse you get like a large dog flower stuff works on camera or a person that you're on the back of I'm actually six people [Applause] somebody will do a behind the scenes where we have like the little men who operate Ben and Lando you're like a sentient mound of rats in a flannel shirt it reminds me of Men In Black or like the little guys operating that one guy in the bar scene yeah he's right there in Black that was a good genre of Paul you see things can I get some credit okay
00:38:43
it sounds like they're on to me why have I uh maybe that's a question for CS you should ask them not a question for us let's see they've taken to your other roles of the star Fair do you have any other roles in mind you want to tease them with no haven't been approved not yet let's get the base one out here and we'll get the basement of the Gemini and then we'll I know I want to see a starfare racing week personally but with stock starfares that doesn't require a separate ship design I want people to race the stock star fair and I know there's a reason we don't let Jared make these decisions I make decisions every once in a while
00:39:34
every once in a while then Ben has to fix them was it some sort of internal joke that you guys are splitting up the game package on that Valentine's Day wouldn't that be foreboding nuts we plan to do it at the end of the month and we weren't ready to do it and we just picked the next time that seemed no that's not entirely accurate because we were like what about the 14th and said he was like that's Valentine's Day it's perfect and then we made lots of jokes about that so yeah there's somebody out there anything you wish the community would do less of more of more of that I would say that the thing I wish
00:40:22
people would do less is make fun of us we're gonna make fun of us that's no problem it's it's like fighting with people who don't get Star Citizen you know be more welcoming of them and you know this is some tiny percentage of the population that actually does this but you know the whenever there's some clickbait article or some misinformation out there just just you know take it in stride take have a sense of humor we're going to prove them wrong with an awesome game um and just you know these are they're your future Wing men whether they know it or not yes I prefer inclusiveness to divisiveness so it I I like it when people when people it's one of the things I like most about our referral program it's I like it when people bring their friends and bring their bring their co-workers in probably when people are inclusive about Star Citizen and
00:41:09
share it with others instead of arguing on the foreign and I know that there's this there's this idea it's like you're defending us and and in that regard we absolutely appreciate it it's it but we do wish this is probably something that can never happen we wish there was like a third option a way to a way to defend Star Citizen without getting into internet arguments with people who don't understand the project because it's a pretty dense project and a very in a very easy project to misunderstand yeah I mean we have a big budget we uh I have a developed we've showed people development that they've never seen before they don't understand that um it's the kind of game people haven't seen in a long time um it's you people who follow us have this you know IV that gives them all sorts of information that people who see one article about stresses in the year don't
00:41:58
um just you know because put yourself in their shoes I would say that would be my my advice to the community uh but every I have very few complaints in general yeah no it's I adore our community it's they are incredibly passionate and and uh what's the word for for being very energetic vigorous they're robust and vigorous and passionate people and I would rather people be passionate and disagree with something that we're doing then apathetically so I I would rather that passion so I really enjoy that about our community Lando can you shake your head nowhere yes on whether you will answer an Endeavor question what's the question when it will come
00:42:45
out oh I can't answer that that's the same questions because when is the end What's the progress on the uh on the Endeavor when will it come in I have nothing since the concept it's back of the line because it was the most recent big concept ship uh and it's it's my absolute favorite ship we're doing it's my favorite ship I've worked on so far and I've worked on like all the three ships um and if I could I would prioritize it but it doesn't make sense to do it now uh is the new Corvette going to be limited quality quantity sold like the address 890 John Phoenix no decision on that yet we want to see how it turns out but I will I will say we've had some good talks about it this past week it's getting kicked off it's getting its formal go from designers working it out on
00:43:33
paper to an artist next week that'll be exciting I don't know who the artist is on it yet where's the Carrick dudes the Carrick dude is right here are you think you mean germak come back is the correct dude yeah you're Mexican here dude's not right here dude I am you confused me with good it's before you know ketosis kicks in the brain starts you know working again might happen like immediately I know you're better than I am like all this water has disappeared already again so it's good we've actually lost seven pounds according to my little tracker although it's all water weight but remember the beginning of the show and
00:44:20
we're like oh man we're not going to talk about the diet I never said that I never said that I think you did no I know you know somebody told me there was going to be a gym in here when we first moved in they're like oh yeah they're putting a gym in Lockers in there and I was like really like it was an aerobics therapy over there I mean oh yes the BBC Click segment that they were here filming they were in Manchester filming uh that is supposedly going live on BBC tomorrow uh check your local listings in America we have a BBC America right yeah it looks we we took a look before the uh before the show it looked like it would be airing about 1 30 in the morning our time but we're not certain about that so check it out on

future and the uh next manual so lots of stuff for those guys uh somebody asking about changes to the HUD uh so they're asking specifically the Vanguard HUD but uh changes to the Huds for All Ships are still in progress and none of the heads are finished uh we carpal with Dan Kaminsky he was just talking about work he was doing for the Hornet Hut this week so um you guys probably remember for like the first two and a half years of the project we had one Zane bien who did super perfectionist every single element of every single UI and now we have sent him to the UK to uh lead a whole team of Zanes at the men for the many UI is working on yep so uh yeah nothing in the game is is locked in finished we're always
00:50:52
iterating we're always making things better uh we're actually going to have a segment on ATV here soon uh as soon as I can get Sean Tracy to stop moving uh they're even working on improving the bishop Senate speech as if that wasn't already awesome enough what's that as soon as you get him to stop moving to Los Angeles or just stop no moving around we've been trying to do the segments you don't appreciate the the accomplishment it was of Mr Hennessy to actually get him to sit down for an hour to do that 10 for the for the developers an hour yeah two two or three hours yeah I know I was like yeah so it's you know I I know everybody's like yeah it'd be cool you should have Sean Tracy on it you know every single week but you know these people have real jobs and they're doing real work and we do try not to get low I like us yes not like us whose only
00:51:42
job here is to talk to you people which is the best job ever it's not the only job yeah uh let's see what is going on I can't answer when questions any update on the female models I do not have an update on female models you may have seen them in a shotgun but I don't know how close they are to the game I know we hadn't seen them yet all models are being completely redone well that was announced I've heard that um a lot of pants in shotgun this week too like Austin has put up like 300 pictures of pants yep uh what can I put in the vault this
00:52:31
week any new ships no pants there's pants it's all pants you need pants and Chuck can only display you can go to like the media View and it shows the 100 most recent things and it's it's always pants which is a complete reversal of Us in real life wait what what you don't wear pants optional oh man well this this is going off the rails any new cargo pants were there any cargo pants in there no remember Chris Robert takes cargo yeah it does hit Gates cargo pants don't you hate pants
00:53:18
uh when he says all the models are being redone he's talking about the character models uh because of the new updates to the skeletons and stuff he's not talking about all the ship models being redone and stuff okay although they are all going to be rid of it to some degree or another yeah oh my thing's not working your mouse would you please move the Jar Jar Binks game out of view of the fan cave it's not in the handcave it hasn't been in the fancy for you're watching an old episode yeah it hasn't been yeah it hasn't been in the fan cave for weeks what you're seeing is that the interviews aren't all filmed the same week that we put them out we filmed interviews with Jason Cole thumbs up weeks ago when they were here in town so that and all on the same day which is why the Jar Binks thing was only there
00:54:05
for like a day it maybe maybe two days so so it got in several segments but it hasn't been in the pancake for years yeah maybe days uh yeah they're gonna call you on that they're gonna check somebody already did well that's right we can't turn the camera but it was right there you can't see it because it's not there also because camera's not looking at it ah isn't this the ninth revision of the character model I haven't been counting but that's game development Etc you're constantly iterating and revising making things better what's your change folk what's my change quote UNCC changes constant or something well the only constant game development has changed the situation is always fluid it's a good quote by it was it Tim
00:54:54
Sweeney at uh epic games the first 90 of game development is easier than the last 90 yeah I was like that quote question for Ben leslick and characters have Kilts in the verse I have not seen any Kilts I specifically but I don't think it would work well in Eva that's true any updates on the new Eva system is this we're shooting for 2-2 um it's in testing now we'll see if it works disco where you play Lando and Star Wars Battlefront when the DLC is released are they adding Lando to Battlefront I didn't know that probably I won't play it though because I don't own Battlefront o I'm judging you a little bit again
00:55:44
I did something and it zoomed the thing in there I'm not judging you the game sucks it's just the game's just running around shooting people boring it's I I need my copy if you want to play I need a story I need a story just running around shooting people I can do that in real life I don't have it again for it on the rim shot uh let's see yeah see it's really hard to pick questions when you're asking about tactical turtlenecks and and stuff like that I will say becoming to Pax Australia 2016. no no no packs Australia this year sorry I would love an excuse to go to Australia but uh I guess I don't want to fly there yes can you edit out or overlay something over jar jar it's just it's a picture of Jar Jar Binks guys if it's if
00:56:34
it's seriously that big a deal then I it seems to be seriously offensive to one memory say that all the segments shot with jar jar have already in so you won't ever have to see them well never again you will never ever see what she did that's why we can't have nice things I did buy that but only because you found it with real money this was a this was a joint effort when are we gonna play it uh We're Not Gonna someone hand Jared a steak please yes if somebody had me a
00:57:22
steak can we all get steaks that sounds good uh going to family birthday party this weekend we're having steaks nice my brother and my sister had their birthdays this weekend uh ah no I'm not reading that because look what the choices you're doing a bad job questions energy weapons for the freelancer that's I don't even know what that means those are the options I have there certainly will be energy weapons you can encrypt to the freelancer in the future yeah let's see will we be able to own properties in Star Citizen with or or with other players can we build our own Empires not necessarily at launch but it is something long-term yes question will you go to Germany this
00:58:09
year yes um we are headed to Germany later this year we're gonna be in Europe for about three weeks uh we're gonna do Gamescom we'll be on the floor the whole time um then we're spending a week in Frankfurt to shoot video for around the verse and then we're going to Manchester for a week so it's uh it's like the European tour yeah it's our grand tour yeah he's gonna make tour shorts yes we absolutely should what happened with the cheesesteaks last week they were eaten and they were delicious cheese steaks it was great and then we immediately went on diets I think we can still do the cheese sticks we just have to like I said just give us a mound of Cheesesteak with cheese and forget the bread I think we can I think we need a cheese stick well
00:58:57
half a month but it's a cheese steak that's like built for it for a cheat day candy yeah today's gonna be my cheat today's gonna be your cheat day every day is my cheat day yes I've just decided to be a cheater hey any updates on mouse pads Alexis yes I talked about those earlier I'm sure yeah but not everybody was here at the beginning of the show okay yeah we're looking and doing a new mouse pad s who had the great idea for that design it was Nick I'll tell you that not not Ben lesnick no we were just talking the other day about something new that we could do that we know people would like and mouse pads are one of those things and I know we need some for the studio as well
