All things Frontier Developments at E3 2014!
- Thread starter Tinman
- Start date
I hereby call a motion to forthwith officially designate the thingy outside the docking port "toast-rack"
People have been calling it the toast rack since Alpha 4 started.
And many have ended up as burnt toast...
this game will be so nice !
i hope diversity will be there as announced back then.
i like how DB is ambitious and such.
to have variants of the same ship will be nice made by PG,
variants of stations too by PG,
the ability to visit planets ( while this was announced as an expansion so dont bother for now really ).
and feeling the galaxy to be alive from the governments , npcs , missions, lores, etc.
lets go FRontier !

Bleah! 1000km!
I hope they did this only for the purpose of E3 show to help ppl who play for the first time. I would hate to see that in the game even it's for beta testing.
I saw that at the top of the page it said PS4, so maybe that's the reason ED it's not there.ED isn't even on that list.
Now that would be an awesome thing. As you step out of your shiny ship onto the hangar floor a couple of NPC dock workers walk past. One says to the other "The supervisor really hates me. He's put me on the toast rack team again! Nothing but clearing up burnt toast for the next 4 days". Roll on leaving ships
For some reason, I'd like it if there was a system which was 1980s Elite-era UK fast forwarded 1300 years. the NPC dock workers would be on strike, everyone would complain about the heavy handed tactics of the police against the ore miners, Amstrad would be desirable electronics, Channel 4 would be an elitist cultural News Feed outlet and a military junta would have invaded the Falkland moons. And picture the NPC mugshots in the missions UI.
Texas Stu will call it the Cattle Guard in Teamspeak sometimes. I refer to it as the Toast Rack. He referred to it as the Cattle Guard because he was flying the Space Cow at the time.
Can someone tell me if the Hyperjump effect is physical based or just a pre-rendered/scripted effect?
What does physical based mean? well are those stars and nebulas he zooms by a REAL thing or are they simply just a script generating random stuff to fill in the hyperspace travel.
If its physical based you should see variation depending from starting point to destination, so no two jumps are the same!

Pre-rendered and a placeholder atm.
It's not pre-rendered...it is still WIP though and there are plans to make the jumps reflect how you are moving through space.

Still, since the animation is always the same (except the exit point) you get the the feeling that it is pre-rendered.
Yup. We, backers, didn't learn much since David just said what we were told ... from the beginning really.
Which means FD is one of the few (the only one ?) gaming company speaking the truth and not selling vapourish dreams at the E3.
Granted, this will perhaps make less money, but this makes me loving the game even more. So, kudos to David : your product is good enough to be honestly sold *even there*.
Now please jump in the next airplane and go back to work so I can play and explore pretty please. And take Adam with you, he had it too good for too long in California, time to get back to work *whip sound*
You can still watch it by following the same link as before:

Just jump back in the stream.
Big game hunting dinosaurs after landing on a planet was new to me. Which expansion is that planned in?
Edit: is it us or the dinosaurs that are hunting? We'll have to wait for the expansion to find out I guess

He actually talked about big game hunting down on planets even back during the KS.
