ANNOUNCEMENT Official Twitch Stream

[Iglooman]

Question for the Devs:

Will there be a mass revolt if the game is launched with Tea as a commodity?

The placards are ready, the troops have weighed in on the Alpha forum. If Alpha 4 launches without tea... I'm one Canadian who will be very British.

We're still working on our slogans...

"We want tea. When do we want it? Soon!"
"Before there were energy drinks there was tea! Give tea its due!"
"Tea, Tea, Everywhere! Where its not, we'll take it there!"

 

[Cody]

Tea, you say? Ceylon tea, I hope! Perhaps you need one of these aboard your ship.

 

[Alien]

To whoever is handling questions tonight ...

PLEASE answer questions from Twitch.

If however, you really don't want to, at least say something like "Hi to people on Twitch, we see you asking questions but we want to make sure we give you the correct information, and so we are only answering questions we have prepared answers for"

You can even use that word for word if you wish.
Just don't ignore the Twitch chat as if we don't exist or don't matter.

Everything else would be a big letdown, at least a detailed look at the A4 should be possible.

hope I'm wrong and it launched today, but yes that would be frustrating

 

[Tinman]

Monday is a national holiday in the UK. It won't happen then.

Indeed...so they better release it today then!!

 

[Tinman]

It seems like my plan to lure the out of the woodworks worked! Finally some clarification!

There won't be an alpha release today I'm afraid. As soon as we have a set date for it we'll make sure to let everyone know though.

 

[Michael Brookes]

No Alpha 4 today, we're a little ways off until that I'm afraid.

There's a host of network fixes for Alpha 4 and naturally we're still working on it and will be for some time - it is a key part of the game after all!

Michael, could we have some nice summary of issues related with network in today's stream? I think we are more worried about them than release date of A4, because it will come sooner or later. My biggest worry is that do we will have enough time to get alpha 4 in shape for premium beta. Of course mostly network wise.

For example, if NPC sync problem is tackled (famous fed ship dublicates, NPCs jumping around and having stats changed) and do devs have ideas how to do it? I know it's too much to ask and maybe you can't even tell, but if you would get us a little insight into this, I think lot of people would breathe more easily
