What happened to all the pipelines by the way? I remember so many mentions of pipelines I thought the US might invade them soon.

Being refactored... again.

Uncle Gossip is in the room...

I know a guy who’s cousins with a guy that lives in TX and works at CIG.
I don’t claim this to be true. I’m just sharing what I’ve heard. Here’s the exact quote:
“You will get to see the destinations on the other side of the 2 other jump points in Stanton, that’s all I will say”.

3 systems altogether? That's a step forward to...

Almost there!

 

[VR Golgot]

It's going good so far!

"2 other" would imply at least 4 with Pyro and Stanton. Nyx is behind Pyro, so could still be in and was supposed to be worked on since 2022 at least.
Terra was in earlier gossips. It's system #5 that is flipping between Magnus and Castrovalva.

Too frustrating watching that video. After 10 years their "...goal right now is to physicalize components...." gave me flashbacks to bad bosses.

Getting close to that 5 systems MVP.
I don't even know if that "5 systems thing" is even official or some dream crafting by Citizens, I just remember reading it.

As I recall there was a comment from someone at CIG who said SC would release with 5-10 systems. The community exploded and they said they were misunderstood and that it was 5-10 systems for pre-release or something like that and they were still targeting all systems for the full release. Think it was around 2016-2017.

Who said anything about having those in game?

Would be Pyro soon! all over again, can´t wait!

as long as cig sells a widget on the store that allows me to invade the private group, its good by me. gotta monetize it somehow.

In the meantime, just grab an F-5 and terrorise people on DCS servers posing as a MiG-28.

I'm sure Mole and I would be happy to be your wingman

 

[Agony_Aunt]

Everyone's favouite CIG shill....

swollen with features

A patch that doesn't exist!

 

[Factabulous]

Every patch a Jesus patch - 10 years in a row!

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Engineering appearing in 3.24. Or maybe 3.25

Are you telling me I can play in Pyro right now?

 

[WhiteHaulerMan]

I'm still amazed we're this many years into development and the Hornet(?) I think still has no real use for its second seat.

Where's my AWACS/EW role dammit

More services for your Alpha as a Service...

bault: markers are actually something we are working on for 4.0 (moving entity tracking to a service and not the game servers) so you can track things across servers

 

[Ed02350]

More services for your Alpha as a Service...

I would have thought they'd implement something persistent like that by making it linked to player accoount, saved as data is a table or something. I mean no matter which server you're on it should access the same user account data right?

 

[Agony_Aunt]

If you close your eyes and dream hard enough, then yes.

Not in the Yacht-Lair of the Sandwurmie Sir, no.

 

[VR Golgot]

So I'm doing another mad thing....

Gathered up the ~500 whale-regret posts I've noted over the past 2 years. (About $1,600,000 worth of regrets in total).

A mere drop the in the ocean, but might make for an intriguing vid

Some of them are quite pithy...

Pipeline summarised the Meshing Post Mortem...

## Server Meshing Tests:
Our test objectives are to:

• Identify areas needing optimization to achieve low-latency replication at scale with the actual game and real players.
• Pinpoint game features that require adjustment for high player counts.
• Pinpoint game environments that need adjustments for higher player counts.
• Uncover bugs related to server transition, server recovery, and other quirks introduced by the meshed setup.
• Confirm changes and improve the game experience at higher player counts (from a networking point-of-view)

We are aiming for a rapid iteration cycle to test our corrections and optimizations, ensuring progress at each step without interference from other changes to the game. Our goal is to conduct weekly tests, until it is time to rejoin the main development branch for the 4.0 PTU waves.


## Meshing Test "B" post-action report:
Meshing Test "B" was conducted on September 12 and was the first test on RMQ.

The results were disappointing and unexpected, but the previously identified bottleneck identified in Test "A" was confirmed fixed.


## Meshing Test "C" post action report:
Meshing Test "C" was conducted on September 19 and included performance optimizations.

Test C was the first to use a build with the legacy NMQ system stripped out.
This test was a big step forward. We were able to successfully identify additional issues present, but walked away from this playtest feeling optimistic.
