2.7 is now gonna be 3.0 full system, space jobs like cargo/transport/piracy/etc. bunch of other new features like ai and background tech no sign of netcode update so far (chris rub pls) edit: netcode talked about finally. [editline]19th August 2016[/editline] 3.0 live demo pics (being updated as more new stuff pops up) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jWSmA06.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/e8usPZJ.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NOdXh3W.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/gO8JkIs.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ESSdLeQ.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XkOzPrO.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/US7Q8EN.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jF4S7g2.jpg[/IMG]

When he said every planet and moon in 3.0 would be traversable, I just teared up a bit.

Is there a link to view the presentation from the beginning?

[QUOTE=_Axel;50915317]Is there a link to view the presentation from the beginning?[/QUOTE] its not done yet so no.

So the net code update will be in 3.0 or 2.6?

Oh my god I'm so glad I got a dragonfly.

Welp, that was pretty fucking neat.

Jesus fuck I didn't think they were gonna show that much, wow

chris roberts is out of money and they've been in damage control since february, derek smart confirmed

Mentions No Mans Sky and Elite in a neutral way plus no reaction from the crowd, that was nice to see. But there are no words good enough to describe what I just saw. Apart from maybe the new interaction system needing a little UI work, everything was glorious. It just gets better and better :v: [editline]19th August 2016[/editline] Also I can hear my bank account screaming mercy already, pls halp.

Only watched from the Starfarer onwards, that was pretty cool. Why did some of the players play as pirates though? Are missions where human players are recruited from both sides going to be a thing? Or was it just because they don't have proper AI yet?

Also we should indeed have looked forward to Gamescom after all, heh.

Obligatory its a scam and its never coming out, they don't have anything to show this year etc That was probably the best demo they've done so far, go a little flaky near the end but I thought it was gonna end after the Starfarer blackbox.

Looks like I missed some good shit. I'll have to watch the vod/YouTube video later. If someone could link it when it goes up that'd be ace. Anything about the Cat in the demonstrations? I've been fervently hoping it'll be hangar ready in 2.6 to explore.

He flew it out of the ship and into their freelancer, then used it for a new segment of the mission[/sp]

man i can feel the smug of Chris Roberts from here (deservedly so, lol)

recordings of the stream demo -snip- official below

im thinking about upgrading to a cutlass black from my aurora, anyone got one i can test fly? it's not in the free flight

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;50917166]im thinking about upgrading to a cutlass black from my aurora, anyone got one i can test fly? it's not in the free flight[/QUOTE] Rent it, it's under Electronic Access in the store Uses in game currency from Swarm/Arena

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;50917166]im thinking about upgrading to a cutlass black from my aurora, anyone got one i can test fly? it's not in the free flight[/QUOTE] it's in a terrible state right now, I wouldn't bother

[QUOTE=krail9;50917270]it's in a terrible state right now, I wouldn't bother[/QUOTE] yeah but more importantly it looks tight

The huge [I]Mass Effect 1[/I] vibes I'm getting from the airless moon, the rover, and the pirate base are making me very excited.

Cutlass overall is due for a redesign I believe, at least for the internals. It's probably going to see a big facelift like the Hornet. Just got done watching the presentation and holy wow. Game's still the slightly buggy and rough around the edges experience we're used to, but damn if that wasn't incredibly promising. I hope that the end of year build truly does have all the stuff they're planning. I'm still hung up on the 30 stations thing though. Part of me doubts that they can flesh out that many stations with unique character like Olisar/Grimhex. Could be wrong, but they're gonna have to start reusing assets somewhere.

[B]Could be wrong, but they're gonna have to start reusing assets somewhere.[/B][/QUOTE] Their architecture building block sets are intended to be modular, so yes, asset reusal is very much in the cards. However, they're clever at it. [t]http://btnsmash.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/star-citizen-revel-york-hangar.jpg[/t] This is the luxury hangar, the Revel & York. [t]https://i.imgur.com/2o58bks.jpg[/t] This is TDD Jobwell, the job board center on ArcCorp area 18. They use the same architecture set, arranged differently.

Huh, now that you point it out, yeah. Still 30 stations? Things are gonna get really noticeable unless they throw in a couple custom areas/rooms with every station. Also holy fuck is the Terrapin expensive. 195 bucks? That overshot my upper estimates by a load. So much for being the last "starter" ship. And why does it have S2 power plant and shields? Wasn't it supposed to have "the strongest shields in its class" and "a significant portion of its power" dedicated to them?

I would just point to the 5 stations we already have; olisar, kareah, derelict, repair place and the comm satellite thingy they're all pretty samey but there's enough variation that you can tell the difference. they can't make entire new systems for every station but that doesn't mean you'll be seeing the exact same station copy pasted over and over
