No, but Elix and jono have a strange sense of humor.
Ayy, got my first referral. Thanks, reddit...?

so yes

I'll have you know Jono was entirely responsible for the fpcorp recruitment message and any dickish responses to applicants, nothing to do with me. His recruitment message also didn't specify "PM on fp" but he thought it was clear enough as-written.
I added a note to the thread OP after seeing what the recruitment message was. Fun fact, I was invited, so I never applied or saw the recruitment message in the first place. :v:

"Editing error", likely story. :v:

In my defense, almost a 100 people managed to get it right with only ever one person to PM me on the RSI forums, who didn't even know who we are.

fpcorp's first ride together in Arch's Vanguard goes about as well as can be expected. My voice was muted in the recording as it turns out.[/QUOTE]

also with the return of the vanguards I traded back the MIS and Herald to pick up a Warden for the time being :v:

See? Told you it'd be fixed today.
I've been spoiled by my Constellation, jumped into my Freelancer for the first time and realised I cant see [i]SHIT[/i]. I can park my connie right up against a comms array thanks to the all glass cockpit but I literally cant guage the size of the 'lancer from the letterbox I get to look out of.
Thank god I never intended to fight shit in it.
i was drifting my connie around port olisar trying to see how close i can get without hitting it.
p.fun, i recorded some of it so i might put it up maybe tho its all in fps mode.
Wasn't Delta Patching in yet?
I think I had to redownload the entire game again.
Still no delta patching, still sending giant encrypted blobs because delta patching something that gets encrypted before uploading is not trivial.
How much to the Connie's engine nacelles move? I was hoping they'd move a lot but I haven't seen them move in any gameplay yet.
The Connie's not 100% there yet in every way. The turrets are perma-extended, for example, and the airlock elevator pretty much stays extended unless you make a specific attempt to fix it. I'm pretty sure the Connie's not supposed to fly around with its zipper down. So, I'd say it's too early to draw conclusions -- I'm pretty sure in the Connie commercial the top nacelles pull inwards/extend outwards just like they do on the physical model, and the Mk4 hasn't changed [I]that[/I] much since.
are you supposed to drop 50km from Kareah now?

I dont get the impression encrypting their torrent dl has any purpose. Its not like its source code, it gets decrypted on our end, and modding is a big thing and people can already dig into pretty much everything inside each release that gets pushed to us.
I'm guessing the idea is to keep the Cryengine .pak files (the data archives) from being trivially walkable. People still break the keys and get in and they know it, but the barrier to entry is enough that most people going to that extent are going to be aware of how the community and devs view spoilers.
It may also be an engine-related consistency check thing that I'm not aware of, because like I know anything at all about working in Cryengine in specific detail.
after renting the Warden:
it's nice to fly once in a while but I wouldn't want to own one

You have one, too? Or still Redeemer?
i got a gladius with REC and my only conclusion I can comfortably make after playing a few games of arena commander for the first time is that my weapons are literally not doing damage
Has CIG said why the multi-crew ships like the Freelancer and Constellation aren't available in Vanduul Swarm?
They may be a bit OP for arena fights.
A connie could sit in a single spot and just missle spam through a wave. And with 4 Connies, you could missle spam through all 18 waves.

Got a question now. Does anyone know if multicrew ships will have switches to turn off gravity throughout the ship?
It'd make loading random space debris into freelancers easier.
[QUOTE=archangel125;49541205]You have one, too? Or still Redeemer?[/QUOTE]
not my vid. Temporarily have a vanguard after shuffling temp ships around, since they're not hangar ready and are available on the store anyways
[QUOTE=Why485;49543087]Has CIG said why the multi-crew ships like the Freelancer and Constellation aren't available in Vanduul Swarm?[/QUOTE]
They've been focusing everything on Alpha 2.0, not retrofitting the game rules and map size of AC for "AC 2.0".
[QUOTE=Sgt. Khorn;49543110]Got a question now. Does anyone know if multicrew ships will have switches to turn off gravity throughout the ship?[/QUOTE]
Don't know where the cutoff point is where ships are too small to have a toggle for artificial gravity, but that's the idea. You're supposed to be able to do things like seal bulkheads, turn off gravity, and then open airlocks so that boarders invading an Idris lose their footing and get sucked out into space.
