Well, at least they have some nice drawings of ships to sell.

Let's see what happens over the next few days regarding what they have to offer. Either they knock it out the park this time or the CIG booth at Gamescom 2018 is going to be a stall out in the car park, with CR selling kisses.

Lots and lots of those! Got to collect them all!

It's a dynamic and fluid gaming environment - Space Chariot Fidelity JPEG Collector 0.01A - even when you buy the jpeg and can cuddle and pet it, it doesn't always reflect what you'll end up with in the Space Chariot Immersion Simulator Pre-3.0. It becomes a nuanced PvP zero-player game that operates on multiple levels with a near-infinite range of complex gameplay possibilities and end-game counterplay.

Using the Freelancer as an example, my original jpeg has horrifically mutat, erm, lovingly crafted itself into quite a different beast. What I originally thought I had purchased, and indeed was originally able to view and interact with in the Fidelity Chamber, now requires further Content Accessibility Share Holding (CASH for short) in order to get all the shooty and explody bits I originally had.

That's where the deep PvP content comes into play. Do I embrace the inner struggle with nerved jpegs, or do I execute "Good Move" and counter with CASH, or do I play the strategic hand and just buy an Idris?

I was surprised they went as far as giving "their" engine a name. What was it, StarEngine or something? Jim Sterling does a pretty good job of nailing asset flippers on his YT channel. I fail to see why they would bother naming it at all really as they can't market it as such, only sell their game with a nod to Amazon/Lumberyard in the credits.

Thanks Rolan :) I am confused though (not difficult).. If there are two suns on Daymar, does that mean there are two suns in Stanton system, or are they teasing that in fact there is a mythical second system to Hyperspace to?

Or more sad and possibly true, is it a static demo and bears no resemblance to anything currently in the PTU or PU? :/

Apparently one of those "stars" in that 2 suns image is just a camera flash.

It also sounds like the demo is restricted to Daymar surface/atmosphere only, you aren't able to leave via QT

Good point. Can anyone provide a link to a statement from CIG that what they are showing at Gamescom is in fact the same '3.0' that they are going to (eventually) release to the 'citizens'?

Ohhh my. Popcorn crunching intensifies.

Although true believers won't care much.

What they showed last year was officially listed as "Alpha 3.0 demo"

They got caught out as it was blindingly obvious it was another standalone tech demo so this year they didn't make that claim.

Instead the community did the dirty work this year and you will find SC community videos and threads with "Gamescon 2017 Presentation | Alpha 3.0 Expectations" and similar.

It's another standalone r&d tech demo, enjoy it because that's the last time anyone will see it before it goes on the shelf beside the sandworm.

It's the kind of vapor that if you inhale it, take a big lungfull, you can live out an entire fantasy spaceman life in space.

I've no idea what they're showing on Friday, if I had to take a guess it'll be the sq42 pre-pre-prelude level that was too embarassing to show last year and if you remember CR clicked past the video when it started playing because "for the love of god Chris please don't show it" so maybe they polished it up in a trial version of sony vegas (true) who knows.

Also shame on any media there who accept hospitality from CIG, shame on you.

There's certainly no PU anywhere near at this point. Where's cargo? Where's trading?
Click to expand...

Well, grabby hands is apparently coming... apparently.

Once they have that, they have manual loading, so trading is probably just around the corner, but darnit, probably just won't be ready in time for 3.0. But don't worry, it will come soon. And now, here's another concept sale of a ship that punches above its weight!
