Make it a double espresso - did you get any sleep at all Thanks for all the time you take answering questions and providing information about Update 6, that is confirmed for [redacted]day!

Hello!
I'll have a little think for you. As we continue to roll out more updates we can see what areas might benefit from more "zoned in" discussion (like continued polish with bookmarks) following the changes, to keep the thoughts rolling whilst sharing back possibilities.

Thank you for the response, I look forward to all updates, but bookmarks are one of my favourite bugbears, always out of them!

Why do people assume what I say ?
I didn't say 'No' anywhere in there, Rubbernuke. You gotta learn more about me

So thats a yes then?

Sally, you are a monster! You seem to sleep even less than me, I always thought that's impossible! Have you ever heard of "Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes!"? (a book from Daniel Everett)

Since Sally already woke up in the small hours dreaming about the performance implications of glass surfaces in Elite, there's a fair chance that reading this (or even just reading the title) will cause similar colourful adder-based incidents.

The max distance ranges on the free cam are:

• 3km for ships in space
• 250m for ships on planets and SRVs
• 125m for on foot (This is now raised as of Update 6 from the previous 100m)

Isn't this distance different fo landed ship and for SRV/on foot?.
It feels like for landed ship its still lesser value than for SRV/on foot.

Well, here’s some news you may like:

1) DarkenSpace season 1 is coming back to YouTube in the fall. I’ve spent the last six weeks or so going back through the older episodes and updating/replacing the parts of the soundtrack that weren’t up to my current standards, and am about halfway through the list of updates now. And I met with legal counsel to discuss my concerns with the FTC guidance and the changes in that guidance in the past year, and now feel I am no longer in any jeopardy if I repost this stuff.

2) I have scripts in the works for a DarkenSpace season 2, and Charles Hubbell has agreed to reprise his lead role in the series. Now everything depends upon whether EDO pulls its act together well enough for me to be able to capture quality video from it. This news about the camera suite is a very big and necessary step in that direction, but I’m still waiting to see what happens with the performance, lighting and planet textures before I make the final commitment to go ahead with production of new episodes.

Assuming I do decide to proceed (and I want to believe that’s more likely than not … I’m pulling for FD here!), the good news is that I am now retired from my day job and will be able to pour far more time into such a series than I could when I did the original season. Add to that: much improved studio gear, more experience composing for video, and an RTX 3070 in my gaming computer, and you might rightly guess that I’m excited about the prospect of doing this again, and better than ever. Stay tuned …

This are really a good news! I liked first season of DS and there was really nicely seen how game and your techniques taking videos improved in time. Looking forward to rewatch season 1 once it’s back and fingers crossed for DS Season 2

Good Morning Sally, I may look like I am waiting with stoic patience but inside I'm jumping up and down yelling "Is it done yet?"

 

[zikolach]

Thanks a lot for the video @sallymorganmoore!

It tells it way better than a 1000 words! I would like watch other updates presented in the same way!

Looking forward to the update 6 when it comes!

Next in the news: CM fired for spending too much time chatting with the community. Management did not see a contradiction in their decision.

"The cameras are not the priority, we do not move forward, we go back ..."
It's difficult to see how improving something is going back in this instance. Can't say the camera would be my top priority, but any improvement in the game is good in my book.

Dans le cas d'un DLC en grande majorité injouable et qui impacte l'ensemble du jeu de base, je pense et ce n'est que mon avis que les caméras extérieurs ne sont pas la priorité. Passer du temps de dév sur ce genre de détails au lieu de mettre ce temps au profit de la correction et de l'optimisation du dit DLC est bien mieux. Bien que l'update 6 arrive et corrigera un peu de bugs, il y a d'autres choses a faire que d'améliorer les caméras qui fonctionnent plutôt bien de base.

Lors de ma dernière partie, un de mes navires a disparu, complètement disparu de ma flotte, a voir il a été revendu avec le patch 5 car bloqué en orbite alors que je suis mort pendant une mission a pieds et impossible pour moi de le récupérer. Frontier doit prioriser les améliorations, de nouvelles armes auraient été la bienvenue face au catalogue très très maigre de l'arsenal proposé mais non, on nous propose un upgrade des caméras, qui de plus on ne peut même pas jouer avec celles-ci en mode 3ème personne mais qui resteront un outil a capture d'écran...

Je n'aurais pas dit non a une retexture de mon Krait MkII sur le train d'atterrissage car celui-ci n'est presque pas texturé ou alors c'est complètement, passez moi l'expression "dégueulasse" graphiquement, je vous passe les dissipateurs thermiques des Saud Kruger qui sont "flous" du a la modification du moteur graphique...

Comme d'habitude, Frontier s'égare dans son propre bordel de bugs pharaoniques.
