The motion capture of the dude wiping down the bar gives me hope...

If there is a bar social area, I foresee out of all the spaces in the stations, the bar will be packed especially in popular systems. I'll go to Babylon 5- oops I mean Drake's High for a High ball. ah ha!!...that I'll get my martini from Jaques for helping him out in the Repair Jaques Station community goal a few years back.
Good on you, Frontier, for including that bit.
Social Hubs......that I'll get my martini from Jaques for helping him out in the Repair Jaques Station community goal a few years back.

Irish Pub at Dublin Citadel in Gateway confirmed.
Bet 5 bucks he'll be in every bar and won't even have a different look!...that I'll get my martini from Jaques for helping him out in the Repair Jaques Station community goal a few years back.

Bonus points if he resembles anything like:...that I'll get my martini from Jaques for helping him out in the Repair Jaques Station community goal a few years back.

...though I suppose he might’ve got legs in the century or so since that picture was taken
(along with the Station upgrade)10 bucks they'll be randomly ugly like the NPCs are now
Looked like they were Xsen's MVN Animate for the capture. Works with strap on sensors rather than cameras. They can presumably just setup and mocap anywhere around Frontier Towers. Seems like a cheap and quick way of doing it. I'll volunteer to mask up, strap in and act like a robot bartender if that's what's required.

What made me laugh more was in the other game with a barman they had a real mixologist in a mo cap studio covered in mo-cap gear surrounded by cameras and was a massive event.
FD got a guy with a duster, went to an empty space near the staff toilets and polished a desk.

The thing that gets me with this clip is he is wearing a helmet.....that I'll get my martini from Jaques for helping him out in the Repair Jaques Station community goal a few years back.

I guess he wouldn't in game?
I mean, I'm not sure that would make much sense if he was. Be difficult trying to mix the drink while it sublimates and our suits don't look like they have straw holes either.
Hopefully it will be just like the SC bar with a dance floor where we can meet up with other cmdrs for like-minded fun...If there is a bar social area, I foresee out of all the spaces in the stations, the bar will be packed especially in popular systems.

Whatever works...but what kills me is in the end simple things like repetition in the final form will use the same couple of frames on the exact same delivery each time instead of switching it up a little. Hopefully not!
Now why aren't they mo capping for EVA...its only so many movements needed to convey that but not let me speaketh too soon!
I love the idea that the zero g mocap will be just be a frontier staff member slowly waving their arms around whilst being pushed around the office on a tea trolley.
That sounds amazing but a mixologist is someone you can just hire for parties like a clown
Well they are in a way- juggling drinks and being showy.
Its more like:
SC- DUDE....DUDE DUDE LOOKATMEANDTHEFLOATINGICE
FD- wipes bar
Frankly I'm glad FD just kept it simple. SC has tied itself in knots over bartender AI, drinking animation and other fidelitous stuff. Gives more time for FD to update Powerplay.
