What I've learned from Lavecon 2016 thus far (bearing in mind it's now 2am) ...
1) nobody on these forums looks like what you imagine
2) the VR experience is every bit as awesome as you might expect (and there's a seriously weird "phantom limb" sensation the first time you see your own arm) but ... it's also VERY speccly/shimmery (like the opposite of anti-aliasing ... aliasing?)
3) Sandro doesn't take the space loach off ... EVER ... but strangely manages to pull off the look with aplomb
4) The Hutton Truckers are a force of nature ("for the mug" ... see? they've even got me at it)
5) Ed is the worlds best community manager (and looks sensational in a Noel Edmonds wig)
6) Cmdr alot is the mad scientist genius uber buckyballing ED space analyst we all suspected him to be and, in partnership with Jackie Silver, has basically managed to reverse engineer the entire galaxy
7) people here know FAR too much about 80s tv
8) report bugs, don't assume someone else has, report them! in particular, re: instancing issues (are you listening fuel rats?) if you fail to get into an instance with someone and can submit netlogs from both parties, please do it!
9) every single person here is awesome (if I've spoken to you today then I especially mean you)
10) almost everything the community has asked for is either "on the list"(tm) or "something we've talked about"(tm) with the exception of slaves deprived of life support turning into sausages which, according to Michael, probably won't be happening now.
11) Michael's Cthulu axe is heavy!
12) Deal or No deal is a TERRIBLE format for a game show
13) we're getting some sort of in game flight log/journal thingy
14) the API is being improved (pretty sure I heard that somewhere)
15) passenger missions will involve scannable location markers (a bit like the current planetary body/USS/ship scanning model we have now) to prove you've been there
16) there's definitely something coming soon(tm) related to a question about current lack of variety in coriolois space stations (M. Brookes) ... to be announced at Gamescon if I recall correctly
17) M. Brookes can stay up later than me
18) 41 minutes is more than enough time to spend trying to remember what I've learned for you guys ... I've been up since 5am and desperately need to sleep
EDIT: oh, and one more ... NEVER agree to play a role in Dockers without checking the script first.
