News Sneak Peek - Imperial Cutter and Fortified Starport

[who?]

I'm confused. Am I being excited about Ships, or Horizons in this clip?

Lots of Big in this peek!

Probably where the SRV came out of

No the SRV would of come down the ramp...

 

[Retrograde]

That's incredible! The ship is beautiful and the starport is better than anything I'd hoped for. Thank you. But that big central entrance really calls for some NPCs driving around too, no? Perhaps some scavengers looking for materials...

when is the 1.5 update going live?

Here’s another unedited sneak peek dev video. There are some streaming issues and the starport lighting is not final, plus some other things. The team is hard at work getting 1.5 out (likely tomorrow), so this is just me this time.

I thought people hadn’t had a good look at the Imperial Cutter, so here is some more of it, and a little something else too – the first look at a fortified starport:

I think the ramp is the stairs for the owner/pilot/rich person to swagger down when first person comes.

As for the peek,

A little bit of wee came out and tears formed in my eyes.

I highly doubt that from what I have seen, SRV's are lowered from a bay.

 

[X-Terminator]

Looking good. It makes you want to be able to walk around already. When is that planned? I hope you do add Proximity VOIP.

 

[Redan]

YES!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!

The ship looks glorious. Everything looks glorious! Look at that scanner interface!

 

[Winterwalker]

Many thanks for the peek. Really digging the echoing, sound as the SRV travels through the tunnel .. it's these little things I like! That's ship's not bad looking either, can't wait.

 

[Sterlino]

did you notice the new scanner bar on the hud ?

..and when he passed under the cutter belly, it seems to me that the SVR did a strange sound... what it could be ?

 

[Monk]

Launch the Tradeconda....got some work to do!

Flipping awesome ship, the cutter.

And that base...its huge...and tall...nicely done!

 

[Arithon]

Was that an open fighter bay on the Cutter? I think it might be...

I think you'll find it was the SRV deployment bay.

I wonder why there's such a huge tunnel structure? Do they plan to add TITAN class buggies to fit there? Or is it for ships to fly through?

 

[VR jefranklin18]

I love the look of the inhabited section of the starport once the SRV is through - the domes, the spires, etc. I am going to enjoy exploring different starports to see the differences.

I am not sure where my A-Spec Diamondback Explorer is going to carry the buggy though as its internals are maxed out to capacity. Maybe there will be trailers to purchase?

 

[Sterlino]

Scirocco station !!! SOON(tm)

 

[wstephenson]

So that's where the Millennium Dome ended up... (0:59).

It all looks fabulous.

Driving around those beautiful, huge thrusters makes me beg to know, will there be suitably pretty engine startup effects? Animated adjustable engine tailpipes? For some reason I'm thinking of the kind of effects used in 70s/80s/90s Japanese animation like Battle of the Planets or Akira.
