News Sneak Peek #4 - SRV to the rescue

[Tinman]

definitely NOT weapons, since we just saw the cam turret in the last streaming.

Why "definitely"? We actually don't know yet.

Many ships have hardpoints on top (with the potential to install turrets), but that doesn't stop them from having forward facing hardpoints.

Also...while driving you still have an aim reticule while looking forward. Why? If you have nothing to aim and fire then why is it still visible?

 

[Brimstone]

My flight stick is getting clammy.... This is amazing!

 

[Dozer.k.a.o.]

love how the shield's glow reflects on the pipe when the SRV pass under it..

maybe those two ''little horns'' are useful for something we didn't see yet.

Maybe...but we can't "definitively" say what that might or might not be yet.

 

[Robert Maynard]

Nice to finally see the bases... thanks

.... and they all belong to Frontier!

Great clip - expectation is rising....!!

 

[CMDR Reaper]

Looks cool

I wouldn't be so definitive, yes SRV have a turret but they might also have some other fixed guns.

Would be cool to be able to fire directly from the cockpit, with the downside of being less precise than with turrets.

 

[Marc Alexander]

Thanks Mr .B - looking very cool !

 

[BoggiBlanko]

I love what I saw! That vid made my day! If it goes on like this I'll need a Pacemaker soon! Thank you very very much!

 

[Starender]

Very nice, when is the beta ?

 

[Zarkon]

No words can describe how awesome this sneak peek is. Thank you!

 

[lysan]

David you are teasing us! moar moar .....

 

[Fosdyke]

Thanks so much for that! awesome details on the base

 

[Gelbrock]

They look like Twinkies.


Of course I have been known to be wrong. But in this case, I'm pretty confident they are Twinkies.




















....right, time to go watch Ghostbusters again.

I saw that too. Nice touch.

Also : Base is HUUUUUUUUUGE.

 

[Bomba Luigi]

the collision at the end was Adam's fault!

Will he confirm that when we ask?

 

[who?]

Great to see the detail in the bases. The atmosphere-less worlds are a bit... bland and uninteresting (* science's fault, not Frontier's) so it's really important the ships, surface craft and bases are interesting, detailed and varied!

I love how coming 'to the rescue' seems to mean "providing an alternate target for the enemy to shoot at"! Cool seeing the shield effects on the projectile strikes too.

I still wonder how difficult it'd be to switch to turret view and fire back while driving around like this. I hope it doesn't end up that we just pull over and start shooting, then switch back and drive on. I kind of expected there would be some kind of limited-angle lock-on that would let us shoot while driving (and not on the turret cam).

Great to see more tho!

 

[SzaryWilk]

A huge base....nice nice.

 

[nosscar]

Love that base, and it looks like it has ramps that maybe we can drive the srv's up, can see some fun jumping up those bases...first one to the roof.

sure in the stream they mentioned you can still drive the SRV whilst in turret view.
