It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
- Idris is finished, they're going over to the Javelin now
- Lots on work on Vanduul ships like the driller (2km long) or many other ships from them ("cool - surprising, big and small")
- Banu Merchantman is being worked on (whiteboxing)
- In general he saw many ships in concept/white/greybox phase we didn't see about but we're gonna see them (pretty soon)
- Working on "paintjobs" which let you customize your ship (for example orgs can have a unified paint skin)
- He saw new concepts of the 3 moons we're about to see in 3.0
- Moons looked better then in the 3.0 demo even when they were 100% done procedural
- Procedural space stations or outposts are a thing too
- Using special shaders they can make the outposts look like "they belong on the planet" which means that an outpost on a snow planet won't look like one on a lava planet for example
- Room system with atmosphere, pressure, oxygen, etc. is being worked on and will be able to manage the atmosphere in each room. so for example when a door is opened it will "suck" out the air from the room which will suck out the oxygen in the next room etc etc
- Procedural outposts will feature things like landing plats, mining, etc. and also things like bars for example.
- Satellites
- Work on the asteroid tech is ongoing and is looking awesome
- Is going to be "visually pleasing"
- Cool new weapons (FPS and ship weapons)
- New particles and effects for different materials
- Servers are 30 tick
- They are focusing in getting more players on one server instead of raising the tick rate
- Organic sounds are being worked on, that means that sounds are going to lay over each other and still sound naturally. For example you will never hear nothing. even in the current built you're able to hear about 9 sounds inside of a Starfarer no matter where you are, you just have to be quiet
- The sounds they had implemented were very impressive even though he is no "sound guy"
- They are also working on the repair system. ai will be able to do this as well (players first, ai later)
- In game tutorials for different roles will be a thing
- Mission can, apparently be completed in stealth
- They' ll give players options to complete missions in multiple ways

What's the name of that convertible?
Really surprised there are so few comments about this great info that has come out of F42.
It seems the drama threads are more popular than the informative threads. O.o
I hope that CIG will soon show one of the first SQ42 missions as an example for SQ42. That the v-blogger saw such a mission at Foundry42 is promising.
Have fun
For our conspiracy friends ...
here is what the Youtube poster "BannerWolf" had to say about this video ;-) :
"....DON'T YOU KNOW SANTA IS NOT REAL! I know its hard to hear but I have reason to believe Bored Gamer is not real also.
Fact 1: His face is too perfect. If you stair at his face for a minimum of 8 hours you start to notice that his face is perfectly symmetrical. [Warning may cause mental instability]
Fact 2: Have you noticed that his fashion sense is too cool. Just like movie stars and SANTA, Bored's fashion sense is to up-to-date almost as if he is a robot.
Fact 3: Out of all of the videos and live streams I have watched, I have NEVER heard him fart. Very suspicious, almost too suspicious, like as if he is all gears and oil inside.
I DEMAND Board Gamer Show us his insides. WE WANT PROOF OF LIFE! If you disagree with all the facts I have given you then you clearly have not met my MOTHER, but I would like to encourage more dialog to expose the cybernetic gift bringer imposter of SANTA to justice!"
So you see ... the awful truth ... exposed ....
Have fun
If they are more interested then check out one of the free-fly opportunities that come along and so on.
Calling it "hype" is over-stating it imo. Clearly stuff like this doesn't do them any harm but if - Bored Gamer in this case - comes along and says we want to do a progress report and they say no it will be .... what have they got to hide, are they that short of staff that they can't take the time to showcase their product, they suck at marketing for not grasping such opportunities and so on. If they have just done something with someone else they would have solid grounds to suggest a later dare; beyond that though their options are limited.
At the end of the day though considering all reports of future stuff "hype" is a safe policy. Stick to the basic mantra: "if its in the alpha its done, if it isn't its not" and that way new stuff can come as a surprise and not a disappointment - because somebody reported said feature would release a week earlier.
There are certainly a few people that seem to want to incite arguments on this board but I always get the feeling it is applied to anybody that does not toe the official line. If you do not take CIG at face value, gush over everything in all of their videos and upvote every positive post then you are falling towards the 'conspiracy friends'. Last year they were all called Derek Smart alts or minions iirc
In many ways it is baiting people, it is keeping that 'us vs them' thing going when there is no need for it.
I posted earlier about how drama threads have more comments and now someone tries to turn this into a drama thread by baiting the so-called 'conspiracy' guys. I expected to see more discussion from fans of the game about the content in the video but they don't seem interested.

Are you sure you're ok with them spending money writing reports instead of developing the game ;P

Until now the reports have been paid for as part of standard operating costs from the funding pot but now they are being paid for by the community subscriptions.
The ATV formats changed to something that is now a pretty much a monthly report, per studio on a weekly basis, due the rotation the info we get and what we see is what that studio was working on for the past month.
I do prefer that on the text format, however.

Did a quick look at that, I think they disabled ads on their channel.
That's enabled by default, so they don't seem to have any ads on their channel.
You're right. You're only eligible to make money after a certain point, though. Like we had put a video up there of one of our kids getting their ear pierced, just for family, and we were asked only after a couple thousand views, if we wanted to enable ads.
I would hope that the Youtuber would get a cut of other ads on the page too, though.
