What is Frontline Solutions?
“You want Fight? We have Fight! Join the Fight!”
"I'll have some war to go please"
Sings "All we are saying is give peas a chance...""I'll have some war to go please"
"Would you like peas with that?"
It'd be cool if it was more feature complete than CQC, as the Battlefield-like genre has very little competition, a barren theatre of war if you willI still wanna know if the Frontline Solutions 'big battles' stuff involves vehicles or just legs. It wouldn't be the same as CQC for close flying, but having an arena style 'baby Battlefield' might be cool
Wow, leave it to a Q&A not even posted by devs to satisfy me. Surprised they didn't do their own summary after the stream. This is good news, and I'm glad it's not just a telepresence, but you have to be in the same station. Now it's just up to ask them if Fleet Carriers will also have an interior area.How does physical multicrew work? If you're in the same location (IE same station, same place on the ground), just Wing up and 'go into their ship'. They can drop you off, pick you up.
Are you telling us that, as the 'great unwashed & stuck to our seats pilots', once we start 'socialising' with others, also on foot, that we are going to pick up vermin?
Frontline is for killing 'bugs', so Frontline in EDO must be for fighting Thargoids! (there really should be a tin-foil hat emote)Are you telling us that, as the 'great unwashed & stuck to our seats pilots', once we start 'socialising' with others, also on foot, that we are going to pick up vermin?
Excellent!
So Dutch from that Commando film found his way out there?
This brings to mind the Eddie Izzard Death Star Cantina skit."I'll have some war to go please"
"Would you like peas with that?"
Yes. But with one application all that can be avoidedAre you telling us that, as the 'great unwashed & stuck to our seats pilots', once we start 'socialising' with others, also on foot, that we are going to pick up vermin?
Excellent!
Can´t say no to that!“You want Fight? We have Fight! Join the Fight!”
What is error code: Scarlet Kraiit?
“You want Fight? We have Fight! Join the Fight!”
Drawls... They call themselves the war rats...Can´t say no to that!

- AI has been improved since that build. AI they were fighting were lower rank. The guys did die a fair bit while filming but there was some 'artistic license' in how they presented the final assault. [11m+]
- Red barrels do go bang [13m]
- Rings don't cast shadows on landable worlds in EDO [37m]
- They were on an old branch so they couldn't tamper with ongoing tests. First thing they did was to try going in guns blazing, and they died a lot. When going stealthy they got caught cutting the panel. [40m]
- In one playthrough top mili rank with 'badass armour' did turn up and annihilate them. [42m+]
- Loaded in to wrong branch at one point, and realised that the power building had a different doorway. Got surprised by reinforcements pouring into the room through that door. [42m30s]
- Why didn't help by taking out the Viper etc? Because everything kicked off when he tried, and it's a lot harder when the defences are still active. (Also only had cannons as loadout, wasn't intending to fight. Did shoot the ground a bit.) [43m]
- There's nothing you can't do single player. Although obviously some stuff easier with others. [45m]
- At one point they forgot they were carrying illegal power regulator from previous run through. Got scanned. [45m30s]
- Keen to show exploration and POI stuff. Crashed ships to explore etc. [46m30s]
- Managed to spawn themselves in orbit in their spacesuit by mistake with dev tools. Clarifies this won't be possible in game and there is no zero G stuff in EDO. [47m]
- Thinks Alpha will be 6 weeks, but needs to check. [47m45s]
- Anywhere you can land you can walk around. Including spooky places like Guardian/Thargoid sites. [48m]
- You can change weapons and suit in both ship and SRV [49m]
- Can't drop or lose weapons. But will lose stuff from backpack on death. Capacity varies between suits. The scavenger suit has largest capacity etc. Combat suit has small capacity, and has to fill some of that with consumables to get past security systems. [52m25s]
- Alpha can be streamed by players. [53m45s]
- Areas reachable on foot that SRVs can't reach? Yes every building at the settlement they visited could be entered. Various things to see and interact with. [54m]
- Can you kill with the arc cutter? No, because can't have dismemberment in the game... [55m]
- Are working on non-combat footage to show us but no ETA. [55m45s]
- You can definitely kill other players on foot. [56m]
- Frontline Solutions allow you to join big battles. [56m15s]
- How does physical multicrew work? If you're in the same location (IE same station, same place on the ground), just Wing up and 'go into their ship'. They can drop you off, pick you up. [57m45s]
- Even if in a Wing, you can refuse boarding permission if you want. You can drive other's SRVs. [1h]
- CQC? They're very fond of it, and are intending to put community feedback to devs. But no solid plans, all hands to the pump on EDO. [58m30s]
