Great, survival mechanics. Its so good to spread unfocused development on to even more never done before mechanics. Also I remember (could be wrong) this supposed to be about space ships and what not...

Ugh. It's reminded me of a video from last year where some character was abseilling. This makes me think CR's vision is nothing more than re-enacting his GI Joe fantasies from when he was 6.

Yeah, but fidelity man.
I guess this is what we get when CIG is unable to deliver better Flight Mechanics and things that will improve SC to become space sim,you get survival mechanics when devs don't know how to implement space exploration,salvaging or proper trade mechanics and all those promised things that sounded great on paper but ain't easy to implement as stupid survival mechanics that only affect your health/stamina bar.....
Look at the bright side: with this presentation done, you can be pretty sure that SC will never have any kind of survival mechanics. At least if previous presentations of game mechanics are anything to go by.
Oh hey… now CI¬G aren't content with just being scummy but they have chosen to delve into outright illegal territory:

A perfect summary.
I thought how NMS did it was fine and made things more interesting.
I'm 50/50 on that "survival mechanics" thing. For one we need some actual stakes for making money, or for why we would need shelters, all these food courts, onboard food stores and lunch rooms (on most bigger ship).. If done in the right manner, it wont be overwhelming, or not a constant worry like in The Long Dark.
On the other hand it's CiG and we know how "fidelitious" they can be, if we include the shoddy foundation, the many bugs, the completely out of focus attention to detail... This can turn into a real mess. If it's actually implemented before the next decade or so.

Can't say i'm big fan of how NMS did it either... but on the other hand its survival "lite" so don't care too much
Today’s gaming session. I didn’t realize someone was recording it until they said something, as I teamed up with people that I normally don’t run with. Everyone here keeps saying show video not photos.
So here you go: <iframe src="https://player.twitch.tv/?autoplay=false&t=01h39m23s&video=v563986396"

We used my Carrack, with someone C8X. We conducted a few missions together. We diverted to Levski to refuel and due to how much Quantum fuel I needed it despaired the ship. That’s when my son said he wanted to go out side and play baseball.
Multiplayer is a lot of fun.

I liked the way the ship in the hangar broke apart - and some parts looked pretty cool - and 'props' to Roy Batty Nexus 6, but for me there was a massive amount of utterly tedious menu diving and waiting around, and even just watching it just felt like the whole experience is 'WASD In Space'.
The experience might have been better had we also got the game sound, but the immobile opposition in the ship seemed very very odd, making it look like a half-baked MMO FPS. I appreciate that the mission was to board a ship, but with such a small area of space to play in, FPS is going to be core (one might suspect) to the end experience - I'm not criticising here, just observing.
Perhaps it was the internet compression, but the graphics were all a bit Fallout-4 in style/quality, and imho insipid, and overall (I only watched some of it) I was really disappointed by what I saw. Sorry - I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, and I'd dearly love SC to be great, but what I could sit through left me utterly bored (but then I don't like MMO games, not one jot).

hey no worries, like I said, not my filming. I was just the pilot of the ship (own the ship too) and the went through the rear ports on the 890J. I’m also the one who disarmed the bombs.
. And yes, I did use a lot of WASD, on top of my dual sticks
The Carrack has such an Anaconda vibe going on in my head. The Anaconda was the ship I brought to the core, but soon dropped for the Cutter and other big ship (forget it’s name — it’s that rememberable!).
Like I said Commander, not trying to rain on anyone's parade.
As for disarming bombs.... yeah, you're stone cold crazieeeee!
I liked how Subnautica did it, in that you could simply disable the hunger and thirst mechanics. It's always far more annoying than it ought to be in games. OMG you haven't had anything to eat in 3 minutes! You're about to die of hunger! Traditional RPGs tend to have a better balance, where eating and drinking is more about recovery and boosts than basic survival.
On the other hand I don't have a problem with extreme environments needing specialised equipment, and NMS does strike a reasonable balance. At least, after they toned down the incessant life support warnings.
Just remember - the whole of Skyrim fits into one life support warning
And you can fit 400 billion SCs in Elites galaxy. See how that works Chris lol.
He's an 'influencer' running a regular web show about a game that looks to be at least three years way from a release. When you're that deep down the rabbit hole I guess all you can do is keep digging.
