Yeah that was me.

But Will's statement is quite broad, could just mean they have 3 lightning patterns instead of 1 rather than the video footage is a proof of concept and not "in-game effect footage" as I'm thinking.

I'm almost thinking the lightning was edited in afterwards, might be wrong though, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Could be billboards like some of the star effects that rotate tied to your ship and catching those is surprisingly disappointing, I won't say immersion breaking but just not elegant; maybe another solution would cost too many cycles or just turned out to be impractical.

So yeah, previews are WIP but let's see it in game and then can judge.

You're using a pop-pscychology term now debunked, in a context it never applied to in the first place, just so you wont have to deal with the thought of other people having fun playing a game?

Man, the 3.3 release is gonna be rough for ya. Lots and lots of victims of 'stockholm syndrome' everywhere! :)

You get a Stockholm Syndrome. I get a Stockholm Syndrome. Everyone gets a Stockholm Syndrome :D

Yeah, just another CMDR extrapolating from 'X hasn't been done' to 'FD refuse to do X'. Lots of things need doing, spare seat filling shouldn't be a top priority. Unless they did it, in which case woohoo!

Well, NPC crew that would affect ship's stats and would need care and promotion could add more challenge to the game (I mean more butthurt when you suddenly get ganked and lose all your carefully petted navigators and gunners ;) ), but I don't remember anything like that ever being in the list of coming updates.

Also, summer time will just have ended and nightfall is earlier. It is getting colder quick, being outside is less and less appealing.

GAMING TIME! :)

(Lighting my fire place for my play sessions doesn't make sense any more due to VR, unfortunately. I miss that ...)

It is essential that the lightning is generated randomly for the realism of the game.

Well, not really. I think people are getting a *little* carried away about the lightning, which in a trailer is seen for a splt second but has been ENDLESSLY watched and rewatched.

There are 2d effects all over the game, and games, but they don't cause complaints because a) they arent amplified by a short trailer, b) this is the Elite Salt Forum, where everything even the exciting stuff must have extra salt.

*shrugs*

Really jealous PS4 cmdr here, would like to take part in the beta. Hope you'll be hard working and report all the bugs, so that they can get ironed out before we get our hands on the release version (I know, not realistic) :)
