"New Computer Designs Announced"

[Fosdyke]

Holographic projectors to wear on the wrist? Tablets?

I don't know about you guys but I smell spacelegs.

That smell, hmmm sounds interesting!

 

[Stealthie]

An AI computer that you wear around your neck?

What could possibly go wrong? [where is it]

 

[zimms]

Looks like wild Space Legs speculation's back on the menu, boiiis!

Man, some of you have high expectations from just a GalNet blurb. It's most likely just a precursor and some backstory to an upcoming Community Goal. Sure it could mean more and might foreshadow some actual game development, but the chance of that is very, very slim.

Check the shop tomorrow for mis-timed release of bling arm-wear, neck-wear and tablets

I think people need some explanations why some of us might be hyped.

So, wearable, mixed-reality computing, to be formally announced at an "expo" October. This seems full of potential for what might happen after the end of Beyond. Also, what gaming conventions or Expos are there in October? I can't think of any.

Is FDev giving us small hints?

Personally I am not to keen on spacelegs at this stage of development.
I definitely want it , but there is so much other stuff I think is much more important: access to atmospheric planets and gas giants, planetary mining, npc crew, more diversity in the universe, etc.

Pipboy 3304!

Does GalNet have a good track record of 'announcements' ?

 

[zimms]

Surely you mean the Shipboii.

 

[stephen_usher]

Really... this is merely another arms race.

I'm wondering if the new tablet will glow blue? Will the Bangles use an Eternal Flame to power them?

It has given subtle hints in the past. Engineers was one if I remember correctly.

FD has used GalNet for gameplay hints or changes, quite a lot prior Horizons by the way. This will be first time after restructuring for 3.0 release.

Also this announcement is *very* specific describing personal interfaces as they been shown in concept arts. It is too specific to be just a random post. So obviously *something* is coming. How and what - remains mystery.

Where's the popcorn?

You are standing on DECIAT 6
The ARSENIC you uploaded to your backpack is affecting your body
STENGTH = 40%
Your oxygen is depleted
OXYGEN = 15%
Your wrist GPS shows 1 TON of OXYGEN located 2 km North West of your location
There is a strange smell from your pants

Sounds too much like NMS. No thanks.

Did someone remember the FSD-Company they have mentioned in Galnet 3 years ago? Nothing has happened.

In my opinion this is Nothing but hot air.

I hope FD know what they are doing- one wrong move and this place will go up like a powderkeg soaked in petrol sat on top of a nuclear warhead flying into the sun which is falling into a black hole.

Thanks for that mental image
