Mumble mumble.... Too much 'noise' in the 'chat' section which causes the questions to get missed :(

Wanted to know 'How will you improve the experience for people who can't pick up every voice clearly in-game? e.g. station announcements and voice comms?'

I was lucky and one of my questions has been answered. Thanks Michael an Adam :)
(Will we be able to disable small enemy ships without blowing them up?)

Now i think that I'm doing something wrong, because i can't destroy any subsystem (engines for example) without destroying ship...
 
What i remember
* supercruise is bare basics now, lack of interdiction, npcs flying around
* imperial content at very end of the beta (because we are far away from it and obviously FD wants to keep it for release of the game)
* mining still a lot to do
* exploring soon/soonish
* engine upgrades will come in Beta, but sounded that they are still some month away
 
One thing I made a note of was something like "130,000 authored systems using real data" - at the moment - or something like that - by Michael

Possibly not verbatim but nearish.

Which sounds good...

Bit of feedback from my part:

The questions and answer part was great.

The game footage side of things not so much. For some reason almost no PC players were found and I think that is maybe a sign that devs may want to look into. Maybe it was just bad timing/location but hey.

Also the first shot was fired well past the 30-40 minute mark in the video... Until then there was lots of just flying and docking, flying and docking, flying and docking. I know this is a game of much more than just combat, but I personally think that if FD is offering a stream to the world it has to portray some of the excitement, dynamism and space battles many people out there and here are expecting from the game.

Just my 2 p.

Well, they wanted to play on live server. If they would play on their own, I think it would be way more exciting and interesting. Also missions are generated, so Adams couldn't exactly predict where he could get some good missions :)

Well thanks for Adam and Michael for doing the streaming. I enjoyed it, but what occurred to me is where were all players?

I couldn't make it in game but we saw three. I think the official streams, if done again on live servers, should be advertised a bit more visibly. A lot of people didn't even know it was going on. That all said, it was a steady improvement on whats been done before and I very much look forward to the next one. ;)

Should be the other way around! Just goes to show that there's still a lot to do with the instancing that they encountered so few players. They also looked kind of sheepish when waiting for the ship to exit supercruise for so long! ;)

Yeah, that was kinda "ohh" moment, but nah, we all have been there! :)

For some strange reason, I played just way before them, and I saw a lot of players flying around, in supercruise, in station....so I don't know.

It is quite clear they have lot to do on network part, still, I can't complain, it's like day versus night full of volcano smoke for me comparing to alpha 2 or even alpha 3.
 
I'm glad Brookes said they'll add incentives for players to play in the all-group mode and that there could be an expansion with player owned space-stations and "executive" features. :smilie: :D

Yeah and I think its just cool to be able to connect with the devs - really liked the way they took questions from twitch.

Internet forums aren't exactly the easiest way to communicate - speech always being superior. And to my mind at least they put a few concerns I've had to rest. :)
 
Thanks, that was fun!
I jumped in 15 minutes after it started with 600+ people already watching the stream and a chatroll moving frantically.

I waited about 5 minutes to time for posting a question and BAM Michael directly picked out mine :cool:

Possibly, but they shouldn't need to advertise just to make players show up. Adam went to Azeban, where we surely should expect a few more players to be since its the starting station. I hope they will look at the way their servers allocate players to an instance.

I just finished watching and must of missed him saying that about the incentives, I dont remember hearing it.

In some ways the timing might have played a part, 6-7pm mid week is perhaps a little early for a lot of people to be playing, especially given the 'mature' player base at the moment. I suspect that if it had been an hour later with some advance warning in the previous week's newsletter there might have been more people in game.

Then again a lot of the people that were aware of the stream might have been watching the stream and rather than playing.
