Tonights Livestream - Knocked it Out of the Park!

The Megaship gameplay looks really cool!
Agreed alot of nice features...

Need to see what the Tech Broker really offers. ie: Is it just The Engineers pt2, or some thought out assets?

Also need to see if that Trending Trading view in the galaxy is actually useful or not. I fear it will only show a selected systems "trends", and you won't simply be able to browse the bubble to see where CMDRs are current more active.


But I would say while the megaship gameplay does indeed "look" cool, am I the only one scratching my head thinking, who will bother? eg: Opening a cargo hold (via click click click) to get a few tons of cargo in 20-30 seconds? You'd do that over and over why?

FDev will have a problem from now on ... they will have to top this stream & the content revealed.

I especially loved the tech broker. And the Chieftain (BOOOST!). And the new planets. And the trade data. Oh ... and the new interactions with megaships (with the nice visual effect).

Really, FDev, I think you've surpassed yourself here!

3.0 : For the Traders.

As a Xbox player, I hope that interface is easy to on a controller compared to mouse/keyboard, but still, FD went further than I expected with use of trade data.
 
Yep, blown away, seriously impressive stuff, a few surprises, lots of really great things going on, round of applause there.... well done.
 
They certainly raise the Bar a few notches, The Chieftain looks stunning, you gotta love the landing mechanism at the rear. The Planetary graphics also make the planets look more "planety" too.
Well done team. *Salutes*
 
Fdev,

great livestream, great new features!

Love the planetary colours!

Love the Chieftain - I will be buying 3!

The Megaship gameplay looks really cool!

Well done to you all!

Bravo! Bravo!


Yep, i love the new THIEFTAIN :p

GTA ELITE confirmed!

Fly safe and hijack mega ships!

Agreed! So hyped! AND I have 2 weeks off work!

the trade changes seem amazing!
The planets seem amazing, i cant w8 to land on one!
The TECH BROKER omg! But again massive questions about engeneering and balance as the shock cannon alone seems way better than regular cannon, let alone the thargoids corosive missiles! Say waaaat!

The mega ship interactions seem interesting.. i can see this being the new res site.

Betas guna be interesting to say the least

Thogh not to be a kill joy but the chieften seems a bit TOO good.

At least there will be slightly less fdls every where..

+1 Live stream was great. Well done Frontier :)

Just a little planetary landing to end it would have been perfect, but it was great anyway.

A lot of really cool stuff. Planets look pretty sweet, can't wait to land on some. Lots of new stuff to do, to add to a whole lot of other stuff to do :) Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey. Great work to all!
 
I'm very excited for the upcoming changes!
I agree the Chieftan looks (and sounds!) great and so do the planets.
The trade, tech and galmap changes looks really good to.
The 40ly range for that new galmap function seems a little short however.
100-200 seems more useful.

Thanks for the great stream, looks like a nice job all around and I'm eager to try it all out.
 
Lots of interesting stuff, not sure about actual engaging content though (of this stream):
- tech broker = drop off rare mats (essentially another layer of money, which isn't credits to stop billionaires buying it all outright)
- Chieftain = very combat focused, not enough internals to challenge the Python for multirole, and going to make a poor Fuel Rat ship (5 non-military internals was it?)
- trading = nice. How will it fare vs EDDB etc
- terrain = nice. But only 2/3 types of planets, not all yet? It was hyped as a complete stellar object overhaul...
- more limpet types = really? Please give us multi-limpet controllers already

I'm looking forwards to the beta and next stream, just hoping for more engagement (eg: actual hacking mini-game).

Agreed, lots of really cool stuff.

But we really really need to do something about the ever-increasing number of limpet controllers. Can we just make a generic "limpet controller" that can program any limpet? Having it would unlock them all in fire groups and you pick whichever you need. Size controls how many you can have out at once, grade determines quality / range / lifetime for the limpets where that matters.

I suspect that will be of more value to aspiring pirates in smaller ships, who may not want interaction with human players, yet seek the thrill of pilfering stuff. Maybe ideal for a Cobra III ?
