So the mini-maps are cute. Being able to set waypoints and get routes within the miasma of the large locations etc etc,

But if they're only in for certain areas, that suggests they're bespoke, not auto-gen.

Which means location creation just got another layer of work... (And those 100 solar systems just took another step back )

Cue up the NMS Jurassic Park video.

Aha, they have fixed the engineering issues by... ramping up armour & giving lasers penetration for now...

Fudges all the way in the test room of the pre-testing chamber...

It's self-parody at this point:

(DISCLAIMER: This is for this test mode only this will not be the case for the actual release, Laser weapons are not supposed to penetrate the Hull)

Mike hasn't been having the best time in PTU...

Hold on wut? Why?

And here's Tony working on Shroud of Azerim, a revolutionary new Star Engine tech demo.
(not in UK, I guess)

We must have missed that as being a stretch goal for a different game entirely.

It's definitely not a misuse of whale-juice.

Wait! CIG have followed the same paradigm as ED with lasers for shields and kinetics for hull?

 

[Factabulous]

Mike's been climbing ladders, it seems quite easy to fall off

He still gets 600+ viewers per stream. People watch him rant about a buggy, early access game.

How dare you! Chris had this idea during a wet dream far before DBOBE was born.

He also has quite a few CIG developers hang out in his chat and he knows them by name and gets shout-outs at Citcon and in ISC videos. He's far too deep into it all.

Plenty of room for view bots there, and in general some of the most popular SC streamers. Would be marketing money well spent I reckon.

It is probably fair to assume bots make up at least 66% of the audience of any Star Citizen streamer's viewer count.

Well when he plays other games like Valheim it's around 150-200 which is also good. He's quite popular.

Commentator's curse strikes again

But sometimes reprieve is so close...

"Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first." Proper Newtonian physics implemented!

How are Vanduul combat animations BTW?

They run backwards and turn inside out.

(In my mind anyway. Which is where SQ42 lives.)
