1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:10,880 right now we're in the process

2 00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:10,880 of improving zeno threat

3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,320 one of the reasons we want to do this

4 00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:16,480 event again is because

5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,920 we've always known our community is

6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,160 fantastic

7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,760 they need a chance to play together and

8 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,760 that's what we try to do with this

9 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,640 dynamic events are things that draw

10 00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:31,599 people into the game

11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,719 they could be large they could be small

12 00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:35,280 it's also useful

13 00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:35,920 for testing core systems like the law

14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,399 system

15 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,760 spawn timers the cargo system ship to

16 00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:42,559 ship communication

17 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,680 your hud ui the possibilities are pretty

18 00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:46,719 much endless

19 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,320 the remaster of the xeno3 event has

20 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:51,120 so many improvements based on the

21 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,520 feedback from the last event

22 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,360 there was a kind of reaction to the way

23 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,680 the phases as we call them

24 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,640 the resupply phase and the showdown

25 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,680 phase

26 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,320 which was previously broken into

27 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,960 two pieces you were ramping up to a big

28 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:08,080 fight

29 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:09,280 and then it just repeated the resupply

30 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,960 and then you

31 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,640 moved to showdown and it was just a big

32 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,920 fight and it was a big fight for days on

33 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,799 end

34 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,119 what you get now is that basically you

35 00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:20,320 are

36 00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:22,159 resupplying the javelin that will then

37 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:24,320 take you to the battle

38 00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:26,080 and should you do a really bad job of

39 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:28,080 keeping its health up

40 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:31,360 what you'll end up with is a smoking

41 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:34,479 javelin on the other side

42 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:37,600 so that's the major um like i'd say the

43 00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:40,799 headline change to the event itself

44 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:44,479 but we've made so many of the fixes

45 00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:45,520 we have made changes to the hostility

46 00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:47,680 system

47 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,360 the ai would remember that you'd done

48 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,000 something bad to them and even if they

49 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,920 were busy

50 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,200 saver javelin was busy fighting

51 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,360 xenophren

52 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,399 it could be like 15 minutes half an hour

53 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,680 later

54 00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:01,680 that it remembers you know that you're

55 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:05,280 someone who shot it and starts attacking

56 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,280 you and you have no idea why

57 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,520 now we've put this decay in what it

58 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,040 means is if you do go above a friendly

59 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,720 fire threshold you will turn hostile but

60 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,959 that the the length of time you'll

61 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,599 remain hostile will depend on how many

62 00:02:16,959 --> 00:02:20,720 times you

63 00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:23,840 you know did you sustain fire on them

64 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,280 we've also massively reworked the way

65 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,000 friendly fireworks

66 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,440 because previously there was just one

67 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,800 set of friendly fire for

68 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,680 everything in the game now it's split

69 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,879 into

70 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,720 ai which we're much more lenient with

71 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:41,920 and players which we obviously have to

72 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,760 be a lot less lenient with

73 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:45,200 one of the other ways we'll be improving

74 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,040 xenofret is

75 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,800 with new dialogue we had players who

76 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,519 weren't quite sure of what they had to

77 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,840 do from moment to moment

78 00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:57,519 the game is so deep but maybe people

79 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,959 aren't understanding that like it's the

80 00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:00,640 first time we've done it like you can

81 00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:01,440 scan these wrecks and you can see that

82 00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:04,159 there are

83 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,280 still cargo aboard and that there are

84 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:07,360 enemies aboard

85 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,720 before you even go on because that was

86 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,040 one of the big complaints like

87 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,959 they'd get to a wreck and find it empty

88 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280 so there's now dialogue lines reminding

89 00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:15,200 you

90 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,599 you can scan these things before you're

91 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,239 even anywhere near them

92 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:20,959 one of the main um like criticisms we

93 00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:23,440 got was

94 00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:24,560 that there were no rewards we're now

95 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,159 going to be

96 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,120 giving rewards uh based on reputation

97 00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:31,680 because we've

98 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,480 added reputation to zeno threat with the

99 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,720 um

100 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,239 you know addition of reputation we're

101 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,760 able to start using that

102 00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:42,799 to um build reputation with the cdf the

103 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,560 civilian defense force and like the more

104 00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:46,879 missions you do or the better you do

105 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,840 within missions uh with these

106 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:52,000 in these events um the higher you'll go

107 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,319 up through the standings with them

108 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,280 and depending on what standing you're at

109 00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:58,840 when the event

110 00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:02,480 ends you'll get various different

111 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:05,920 rewards so we're really

112 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:09,040 looking forward to having uh the event

113 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,239 uh work alongside all of the new systems

114 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,840 we have coming online

115 00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:14,000 plus all the things we've added to the

116 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,120 event itself so we have

117 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,040 alongside we're going to have the

118 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,560 capacitors we've got

119 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,560 new scanning and pinging

120 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:25,440 it's not just an event it's not just a a

121 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,720 weak event that we then throw away or

122 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,080 anything like that we have

123 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,560 continued to work not to improve

124 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,199 zeno threat but to improve the next

125 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,199 fleet battle

126 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,520 so our next dynamic event is going to be

127 00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:43,759 nine tails lockdown

128 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,840 in ninetales lockdown the ninetails

129 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:48,160 criminal gang is going to lock down

130 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:49,440 a space station under the control of

131 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,479 crusader security

132 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,040 and both sides will then recruit players

133 00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:56,320 to help them to either end or continue

134 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,840 the lockdown

135 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,600 that's actually going to allow us to do

136 00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,560 some really interesting stuff with

137 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,919 combining pvp and pve content and seeing

138 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,479 how you all kind of interact with each

139 00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:06,479 other and

140 00:05:04,479 --> 00:05:08,800 honestly fight against each other in a

141 00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:10,800 more controlled ring

142 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,919 nine tails basically breaks down into

143 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,199 four phases

144 00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:15,600 in the first phase which we call

145 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:17,360 prologue we're basically trying to get

146 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,910 players online and let them know that

147 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,880 something is about to happen

148 00:05:18,910 --> 00:05:22,960 [Music]

149 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,639 eventually after phase one has been

150 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,360 running for long enough it kicks into

151 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:28,639 phase two

152 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,720 in phase two uh basically

153 00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:33,120 crusader is aware that something is

154 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,000 causing a quantum blockade around a

155 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,759 station

156 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000 and is making it so that it is quite

157 00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:41,120 dangerous and time-consuming to get to

158 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,759 and from that station they recruit

159 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,320 players

160 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,600 to protect ships that they will send out

161 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,440 to scan

162 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,960 for whatever is causing that quantum

163 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,199 blockade however

164 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,000 on the other side of things nine tails

165 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:54,479 is going to

166 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,479 be recruiting to have players go and

167 00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:58,319 destroy those ships and seeing those two

168 00:05:56,479 --> 00:05:59,600 sides kind of collide with each other

169 00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:04,319 is where we're hoping to get a lot of

170 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,319 the interesting gameplay in that stage

171 00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:08,080 we've seen some really interesting stuff

172 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,000 in uh phase two

173 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,560 uh just from player tactics and such

174 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,360 that have been very enjoyable to watch

175 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,039 for some of our qa testing actually they

176 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,720 employed at one point because

177 00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:20,479 the scanning ships are somewhat fragile

178 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,039 a hammerhead is almost a shield wall

179 00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:23,440 physically

180 00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:24,400 blocking missiles and fire against those

181 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,560 scanning ships

182 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,919 and deploying chaff and such in order to

183 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,880 reroute the missiles

184 00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:32,000 which made for some very interesting

185 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,680 tactical discussions

186 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,240 right before they would test for that

187 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,000 day we're hoping that players will begin

188 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,120 to develop similar strategies in order

189 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,360 to counter each other

190 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:45,120 in this more sandbox style of pvp

191 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,560 as for phases three and four i'd love to

192 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,880 give you more detail but

193 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,400 jared won't let me um we want to leave

194 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,759 some things for you guys to discover and

195 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,199 there are little pieces of content

196 00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:54,800 scattered throughout the event

197 00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,400 that aren't going to be explicitly

198 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,479 handed to you or told to you

199 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,160 in a mission description that i'm really

200 00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:01,440 excited to see you guys discover as

201 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,199 you're playing through this over and

202 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,199 over

203 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:06,960 it is a smaller event it is only going

204 00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:07,919 to last for about three to four hours

205 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,360 most likely

206 00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:11,440 be completed over the course of an

207 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,720 afternoon and it is the first of many

208 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,840 events that we're hoping to kind of

209 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,919 build into

210 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,680 a stable of these smaller events so that

211 00:07:15,919 --> 00:07:18,400 we can make it so that this weekend is

212 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,240 that one

213 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,820 and the next weekend is the next just to

214 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,400 keep players coming back to the game

215 00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:26,639 [Music]

216 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,560 ninetails lockdown is slated for release

217 00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:29,919 with 314 we hope to run it several times

218 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,759 throughout the course of that patch and

219 00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:33,280 in future patches as well

220 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:35,199 we're really excited to see you guys

221 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,599 play it we're excited to see which side

222 00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:39,919 you pick be a crusader or ninetales

223 00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:44,240 and coming up next jumptown too so keep

224 00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:46,560 an eye out for that

225 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,479 perhaps one of the biggest additions to

226 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,080 the star citizen universe this year

227 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:51,599 has been the inclusion of our new

228 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,360 dynamic events system

229 00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:55,360 where teams are continuing to work

230 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,199 improving old returning favorites

231 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,680 as well as developing new adventures

232 00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:01,440 alike and yeah we're going to talk about

233 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,240 jump down 2 when the time is right don't

234 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,479 you doubt it

235 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,280 but before that and up next it's sprint

236 00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:08,160 report time

237 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:10,000 so let's get to it let's start things

238 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,400 off by jumping back into the world of

239 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,919 brand recognition and logo generation

240 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,680 with this review of several new

241 00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:16,960 corporations making their way into the

242 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,240 persistent universe

243 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:22,400 alongside the related gameplay systems

244 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,160 like eclipse mutual the high-end

245 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,479 personal health insurance designed to

246 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,560 allow for a wide range of features

247 00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:29,919 covering everything from the number of

248 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,479 times you can be cloned

249 00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:34,320 to a robust choice of replacement limbs

250 00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:35,039 and all the way down to preferred

251 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,880 hospitals

252 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,039 to maybe even waking up in your own

253 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,880 habit

254 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,399 and for those who want to know more be

255 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,159 sure you tune in next quarter

256 00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:46,720 ahead of player healing scheduled

257 00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:48,480 release in alpha 315.

258 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,800 there was also a push on further

259 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,440 developing the tax collection bureau

260 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,000 a branch of the uee government in charge

261 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,519 of tax

262 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,240 legislation accumulation and regulation

263 00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:02,320 but don't worry if you can't pay the uee

264 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,399 is always looking for volunteer service

265 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,200 as a means of squaring your debt to the

266 00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:07,760 emperor

267 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,640 now at review time it was decided option

268 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,360 4 was

269 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,800 most in line with existing uee branding

270 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,880 and will proceed further into

271 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,040 development

272 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,279 then we've got cousin crows which

273 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,519 specializes in customizing ships with

274 00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:24,160 paint jobs and special modifications

275 00:09:21,519 --> 00:09:26,320 as well as crew uniforms and accessories

276 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,560 to deck your ship out with

277 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,519 now some of you will no doubt recognize

278 00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:31,120 cousin crows

279 00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:33,360 as the group responsible for the

280 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,200 original kraken modification

281 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,519 but this logo was in the pipeline at

282 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,720 this time for all the other things that

283 00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:40,640 we just mentioned

284 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,160 and at review the thinking was that we'd

285 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:46,560 go with option number one

286 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,000 moving along to vfx news the team has

287 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:49,440 been working on an update to the

288 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,600 thruster dust system

289 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,959 that converts the existing particles

290 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,600 from a radial effect

291 00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:57,360 to a new directional one that's actually

292 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,279 based on the thruster direction

293 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,360 to any surface normal that it may be

294 00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:02,880 hitting at any given moment

295 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,440 now what you're seeing here is the

296 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,320 effect changing not only by the raycast

297 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,880 angle being

298 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,880 perpendicular or parallel to the surface

299 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,600 but also by the strength of the thruster

300 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,360 output

301 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,600 and soon by the type of the surface

302 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,560 itself and the force of the surrounding

303 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,399 wind volume

304 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,160 now as they continue to push this tech

305 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:22,079 towards its gold standard

306 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,640 this means the overall effect will be

307 00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:27,279 far more accurate to what players expect

308 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,760 and is one more way systemic systems are

309 00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:30,160 used

310 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,040 to author the star citizen universe at

311 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,519 every opportunity

312 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,760 in other vfx news let's return to the

313 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:38,320 current progress of shipboard fire in

314 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,120 the verse

315 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,959 oh i've missed you with this look at

316 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,000 directionality and how it can help

317 00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:46,800 inform the player

318 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,560 about things like the spread or or how

319 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,360 it's being affected by the universe

320 00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:51,440 around it

321 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,200 now in this sprint the team was looking

322 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,320 into adding more dynamics and

323 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,200 interactability

324 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,440 to both the fire and smoke allowing it

325 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,320 to be impacted by the various forces

326 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,519 that may occur

327 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:06,079 within a ship what you're seeing here

328 00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:07,440 is a vector field being used to bend the

329 00:11:06,079 --> 00:11:09,839 fire in the direction of

330 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,959 whatever force we want to apply here

331 00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:12,720 switching between a

332 00:11:10,959 --> 00:11:14,000 simple radial force that comes out from

333 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,519 the middle to

334 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,600 a more spiral force and then back again

335 00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:21,600 now the idea for these vector fields is

336 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,480 to be spawnable from the particle system

337 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,880 itself

338 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,600 making anything from fire extinguishers

339 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:30,000 to to full-scale room decompression

340 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,839 act upon the flames in a realistic and

341 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,160 expected way

342 00:11:31,839 --> 00:11:35,920 we also have this brief look at sign

343 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,079 distance fields being used

344 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,959 to direct the venting of flames and

345 00:11:38,079 --> 00:11:43,360 smoke throughout the hall of a ship

346 00:11:40,959 --> 00:11:45,680 and speaking of ships work has begun on

347 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,600 revisions to the aegis retaliator

348 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:49,360 bringing it up to the gold standard

349 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,639 including changes to the internal

350 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,000 metrics needed for

351 00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:55,760 successful mpc traversal moving the

352 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,040 docking caller

353 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,959 adjusting the lift dimensions and more

354 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,959 work also continues on the aegis

355 00:12:00,959 --> 00:12:04,800 redeemer grey box interior

356 00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:06,399 with these looks at the remote turret

357 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,839 bay

358 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:11,740 further changes to the habitation

359 00:12:08,839 --> 00:12:20,480 section

360 00:12:11,740 --> 00:12:22,160 [Music]

361 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,240 and development of the internal

362 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,220 machinery that keeps this floating

363 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:29,450 gunship up in the air

364 00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:29,450 [Music]

365 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,320 we also have this look at the continuing

366 00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:36,560 gray box progress of the airy

367 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,560 starfighter from crusader industries

368 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:40,560 a ship that's coming together rather

369 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,279 quickly based on all the previous work

370 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:44,720 completed

371 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:47,120 for the mercury and the hercules

372 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,200 next up with work on converting all

373 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,120 flyable ships to the canvas sliced hud

374 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,200 in 314 continuing

375 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,480 designers and artists have begun

376 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,880 concepting out

377 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,680 additional manufacturer based heads up

378 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,519 displays

379 00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:01,200 like this proposal for drake

380 00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:04,560 interplanetary ships

381 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,160 seen here in several color variations

382 00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:08,160 now we're still pulling together other

383 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,160 proposed layouts and color schemes

384 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,160 but it's another exciting step forward

385 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,200 in diversifying the flight experience of

386 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,639 our spacecraft

387 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:19,360 made possible by our ui tech team

388 00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:20,320 tomorrow on star citizen live we'll have

389 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,399 dan truffin

390 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,240 and members of the eu persistent

391 00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:26,639 universe feature team on the show

392 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,480 to answer questions about their work and

393 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:29,120 one of the new aspects they're currently

394 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,240 working on

395 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,760 is loot generation seen here in testing

396 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,240 on correa station

397 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,079 now we'll talk more about how it works

398 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,000 what can be found inside and how it

399 00:13:38,079 --> 00:13:41,199 interacts with the upcoming advances to

400 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,720 play our inventory

401 00:13:41,199 --> 00:13:44,720 tomorrow so check that out

402 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,959 and wrapping things up this week with a

403 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,120 look at some environment work

404 00:13:50,959 --> 00:13:54,399 we have this look at potential prop

405 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,000 placement overlays
