Not sure, but I can imagine very interesting settings in limited, empty space.
I think you've gotten confused between Nox the not-land-cruiser and Nox the bad dragon
No. Real gameplay was never shown in five years.

Landing gear didn't compress as the front gear didn't actually make contact with the surface. Still being worked on apparently.

New favourite clip - soundly demonstrating the undeniable quality standards we have come to expect from the perfectionist that is Chris Roberts and the excellent fidelity of their gravitational simulation

Planet surface does look lovely though!

Oh, yes. Undeniably the planet surfaces and surface objects like bases and whatnot are amazing to look at. The illusion is somewhat broken when you see the ship bobbing about as if Gordon Freeman has picked it up with his Gravity Gun.
EDIT: Oh dear lord, that falling animation.

And they were saved by the reset. There doesn't appear to be any kind of graceful handover. No "just finish what you were doing", just an instant cut. Almost like they were resetting a VM. Disappointed doesn't quite cover it.

I played "lovely planet surface" in 2016 already in multiple games with Uncharted 4 being the most recent one. UC4 has higher fidelity than Star Citzen - on a year 2013 console.
Where is the groundbreaking stuff they talked about five years ago?
Yeah, the moon is more than 4kmx4km I'm pretty sure.
Nice to see you Ben around here.
I'd wandered off but suddenly my "someone's talking about 64-bit positioning" sense started tingling.
"Playable" is a bit of a stretch. A limited, stand-alone. glitchy single level demo is what's being presented.
I'm sure that there are plenty of AAA developers and studios exhibiting at Gamescom and - whilst not all of them will allow the punters to play their upcoming games - you can be sure that these games will be available to purchase and play in the not-too-distant future. Most of these companies are run professionally and have a history of releasing viable and money-making games to market. CIG have neither...

4096km x 4096km, as in 16.777.216 square kilometers is the number I had
That sounds quite big.
I love the hate against AAA games by pro SC folks. Say what you will, AAA games are far from ideal but they get released.

Oh sorry, misread that. Yeah, four megametres would be a pretty big playspace, but my guess is it's a typo.
While it's probably fine, I'm going to err on the side of caution and not answer in case it's a breach of confidentiality.
None of that is "new stuff", They showed all of it and much more a year ago (not counting specific ships or trivial assets like armour and weapons, they're hardly noteworthy achievements when you have hundreds of staff working on a game for a whole year). Although curiously a lot of the more interesting features shown "live" last year seem to be absent.
Ah, but this year they're letting random people actually play "the game". So what was last year's far more advanced "live build" Gamescom demo? Wishful thinking? It's ok, Roberts will be along shortly to present even more live-but-not-really features that we can look forward to people being able to play in a cut-down, standalone tech demo a year from now.
They're not only years behind where they were claiming they would be by now, they're years behind where Roberts continues to claim they are, and that can't be excused by nebulous claims about "quality" or "scope". That's what rubs me up the wrong way.

Either way, the server reset every 15 mins will prevent anyone from seeing if it's actually there, or smoke and mirrors
Oh yeah I see now, it was. Someone forgot the decimal point
So it is 4km x 4km. In that case they probably did quite a workover on map streaming. I'll let myself out now - Status
