The same thing that makes you say the opposite. Firm belief.

This is the age of refurbishment, remake, redo and sticking to the stuff that worked already.
And has nothing to show for.
'Cept for crappy excuses.
Is SQ404 still a black hole in the store?
Yeah the whole issue with the 2015 mock ups is:
A) They were part of a claim of upcoming physical damage & complex multicrew gameplay.
B) They demonstrate that it's easier to mock up fancy demos than deploy them in a functioning game
The Idris explosion is indeed excellent these days. But the physical damage & complex multicrew gameplay definitely isn't
It has been missing for a perfectly normal 2.5 months now.
Where do i say the opposite?
It just seemed like you might have something new and interesting for me to read

We have local physicalized damage now, and have for a while, some years, you can literally shoot an engine off the Connie, shoot the wing off a Gladius.
Exactly as shown here.
If you shoot at the cargo door of any ship eventually it will open partially to allow access, which is the point of that mechanic, or you could use the cutting tool.
Beyond that yes you're right, there is no ship component damage as yet.
We could also be in the golden age of remix and reinterpretation, but copyright and licensing issues are going to prevent that.
Watch that whole section. They're talking about bullet penetration, electrical and fire damage spreading between modules, all to come 'very soon, after Citizencon...'
(And in surrounding vids of the time they talked up the room system / decompression etc etc. Deep, interrelated systems all responding to player behaviour etc, affecting both ship & crew gameplay).
Absolutely none of that is in the game 8 years later.
Having some bits fall off your ship is not the same thing

That's actually a very cool system, one of the things I really like about SC.
Elite was supposed to have something similar. All we have though is some parts of Anaconda bend when it's badly damaged. That's it.

Still better than a few scratch marks on your hull when it really has 5% integrity thoWatch that whole section. They're talking about bullet penetration, electrical and fire damage spreading between modules, all to come 'very soon, after Citizencon...'

Right, none of that yet.... i agree.
Connies are feared by some and laughed at by others, they pack a huge amount of forward facing pilot operated fire power. Do not linger infront of them...
Those who know go for the engine nacelles, they are fragile and vulnerable, use ballistics on the nacelle pylons, ballistics pass through the shields and those engines just pop right off, take one off and its difficult to control, it wants to pull to one side, take two off on the same side and all it can do is swim in circles.
It absolutely would be. Shame it's still primarily conceptual nearly a decade later
(And frankly, if they ever do manage to implement a lot of it, as they're still attempting to, I expect the ships to explode with even more impromptu regularity than they do now
)If Agent's leaks are to be believed

EDIT: The ships being able to lose the odd nacelle here and there, and have an impact on flight is cool though, yep, for sure. It's just so very far from what's actually set out as 'imminent' in those videos. (And so comically prone to jank and balance issues even in the current slimline form
)

Oh yeah, defo! I was not talking about the whole system, just that I like the currently implemented system better than what we have in Elite (which is basically nothing, when it comes to physical damage). Of course there still the caveat of "when it works" lolEDIT: The ships being able to loss the odd nacelle here and there, and have an impact on flight is cool though, yep, for sure.

Yet, and quite possibly never.
I misunderstood, then.Where do i say the opposite?

I've been saying it for years now. Kinda when they refused to show off parts with lame spoiler excuses, Nylon Wigchin's claim to have played all missions, multiple re-recording rumours, iteration of bartener "AI" for consecutive years, etc.
