News Sneak Peek - Illegal racing in an installation

[David Braben]

Hi everyone, here’s another unedited sneak peek dev video. On it two of our team are racing around an installation on a desert world. Some things are still not final, as before. Though there are no specific racing mechanics in the game, I'm sure CMDRs will still race!

It's a kind of magic !

Looks great fun

Couple of questions if I may?

Is the speed of the SRV affected by how many pips in engines?

Seemed like the shields are pretty tough (I did notice you had a fair few pips in sys) on the SRV's there, is that still something you have tweaked while testing?

I hereby officially request a TrackMania in space with lazors!
(Maybe a CQR = Close Quarter Racing mode?)

Thanks for the peek David. It looks great!
But I have to ask if Skimmers will be getting a buff before full release?
Right now they seem a bit too weak.

Wooohooo I can't wait to do this, very awesome! Thanks for another great sneak peak

The bases are really something. I am looking forward to explore the architectures, race through them and burn them all down...

Very nice. Thank you for the peek.

Yes - pips affect speed.
Wasn't me in either of these this time I'm afraid. He may have 'invulnerability' turned on (a useful debug thing) - or may be why he has four pips in sys.

Looks fun and entertaining. You are doing a good job. We are ready for Pudding number 2 when you are ready. By that I mean Horizons beta

Excellent for having succeeded to come today to post the sneak peek so much expected by the community. Thanks Mr Braben ! +1

 

[Marc Alexander]

Thanks Mr.B - looks like awesome larks. Congrats to the team!

 

[BoggiBlanko]

Great peek and so long this time! Can't wait to explore a planet like this by myself... So much emptyness..I like it! Now I can go on with my life! Thank you, have a nice evening, sir!

 

[Rubbernuke]

Fantastic! Thanks for the peek!

I notice some station layouts look to encourage such irresponsible behaviour from commanders - this would not happen to be the case, would it?

 

[Joe Akeem]

OK, now you have to include racing!

 

[Artie]

Thank you for another sneak peek. Just little note - there won't be wheel tracks in the dirt visible or it is just still work in progress too?

 

[Fosdyke]

Great video once again David Thanks so much +1

 

[Ceeege]
