2 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,160 go out looking for one thing and that's
3 00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:13,920 all you'll ever find
4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,320 since the introduction of mining is an
5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,480 occupation in alpha 3.2 the missed
6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,880 prospector has been the only ship based
7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,640 option
8 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,160 anyone could find in the star citizen
9 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,320 universe all that
10 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,240 changes in the upcoming alpha 3.8 with
11 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,480 the addition of the marvelous
12 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:29,359 multi-crew mining vehicle the straight
13 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,520 to flyable
14 00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:35,800 argo mole the argo mall is a
15 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,200 multiplayer mining ship standing for
16 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,600 multi-operator
17 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,640 laser extractor or excavator however you
18 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,000 feel
19 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,760 there's a lot more style to it than i
20 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,920 expected from an industrial ship
21 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,680 it's got a distinct shape to it and it's
22 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,280 got a lot of cool little details to look
23 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,480 at as well as the overall silhouette of
24 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,039 it
25 00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,640 so we took a lot of design features from
26 00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:58,079 some of the earlier ships
27 00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:00,399 the mpuv the srv it's familiar
28 00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:01,120 there's some familiar shapes the shape
29 00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:03,280 of the hood
30 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,439 essentially on on the top shape of the
31 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,479 engines the intakes and it's you know
32 00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:07,760 it's like we do with all our
33 00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:09,920 manufacturers
34 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,600 we try and sort of take that dna that
35 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,320 we've now worked out
36 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,000 and feed it through all our ships my
37 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:18,479 favorite bit of them all would be the
38 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,680 transforming sections with the the way
39 00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:21,040 the turrets
40 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,600 extend from the ship and the way the
41 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,479 shields open up and especially the x
42 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,640 form of the
43 00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:28,080 main thrusters the way that changes
44 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,880 shape during landing and
45 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,560 the vtols and all that thing the
46 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,600 interior is pretty cool we've split it
47 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,520 over two levels
48 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,960 you know obviously you've got where all
49 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,079 your components go
50 00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:39,759 you know you've got to be able to change
51 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:40,799 things out you could be able to easily
52 00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:42,720 access them
53 00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:43,920 you need space for your fuel tanks all
54 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,159 that sort of stuff
55 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,360 and then you basically can lead through
56 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:50,240 to the
57 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,720 main cabin or the cockpit so you and
58 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280 your
59 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,240 co-pilot can you know just hang out do a
60 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,960 bit of flying
61 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,640 do a bit of navigation or you can then
62 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,640 go downstairs
63 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,719 to the third sort of front mining
64 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,000 position you know you enter into it
65 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:06,640 and then it actually detaches through
66 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,560 you know
67 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,399 so you have a little airlock and then
68 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,520 you're able to rotate and get better
69 00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:12,959 coverage
70 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,400 it's the only multi-crew mining ship
71 00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:16,000 we've got at the moment you can have
72 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,760 three players in it mining at the same
73 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,760 time while the pilot also moves it
74 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,640 around looking for things to mine
75 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,200 so it's very co-focused compared to the
76 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:27,920 prospects of which is single player
77 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,599 so you can focus on a larger rock or a
78 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,040 more dense rock that the prospector
79 00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:33,280 can't normally mine with its single
80 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,920 laser or you can sweep a
81 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,680 area for smaller resources at three
82 00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:41,200 times the speed of a prospector
83 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:44,480 by having all three of the excavators
84 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,080 just buzz an area and then you all have
85 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,800 the ability of tractoring that
86 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,879 back into your ship going straight to
87 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,760 flyable has made making the ship a lot
88 00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,840 faster than
89 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,519 we usually used to but it's been pretty
90 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,120 good overall
91 00:02:55,519 --> 00:02:58,720 because we've been able to iterate on
92 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,760 the different parts of the ship much
93 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,360 faster
94 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,879 and it's it's come together very
95 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,040 smoothly
96 00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:06,959 the argo mold doesn't just bring with it
97 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,640 another way to tackle the same
98 00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:10,560 ship-based mining experience that we've
99 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:12,400 had since alpha 3.2
100 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,319 it actually offered our developers the
101 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,519 opportunity to expand upon the work
102 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:17,599 already delivered
103 00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:19,680 with the addition of both the size 2
104 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,599 mining laser and the creation of five
105 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,560 new mining laser heads for the existing
106 00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:24,640 prospector
107 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,200 the team here has been exploring a more
108 00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:31,200 complex and hopefully more rewarding
109 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,000 ship mining experience working on mining
110 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,720 since the beginning
111 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,720 what is it now it's more than a year ago
112 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,799 has been an interesting experience it
113 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,959 started i would say very well where we
114 00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:43,360 had about three months to deliver
115 00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:45,599 mining from zero to to the deliverable
116 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,319 we had i think in 3-2
117 00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:50,080 we had a nice core team and a lot of
118 00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:52,400 dependency teams joined and they
119 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,239 offered a lot of support and everyone
120 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,400 was pretty much focused on getting that
121 00:03:54,239 --> 00:03:58,400 as good as possible
122 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,480 once we delivered the original it was a
123 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,480 bit hard to to
124 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,840 deliver anything because we were lacking
125 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,439 resources
126 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,360 all the resources that we had in the
127 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:10,159 initial release quarter got
128 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,000 pulled on other systems so delivering
129 00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:12,560 the stuff that we wanted for mining did
130 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,920 not
131 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,040 quite go as planned we had to
132 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:22,400 kind of dance on the tightrope and focus
133 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:25,840 on what we had resources for ship mining
134 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:28,080 in 370 is is fairly engaging but it
135 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:30,000 lacks a bit of depth there is only one
136 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,320 ship there is only one laser while we
137 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,479 have a variety of mindable
138 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,520 rocks which have different properties
139 00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:38,320 there's still
140 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,360 only so much that the player can do some
141 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,520 of the things we can
142 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,400 make to to do ship mining better are
143 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,280 adding uh
144 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,840 more of a variety in player equipment so
145 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:48,639 adding
146 00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:51,120 a new set of lasers so different types
147 00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:53,280 of lasers that can do different things
148 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,040 we can add different components to those
149 00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,280 lasers we can
150 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,280 maybe in the future also add new new
151 00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,680 mining ships so there's there's a lot of
152 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:03,440 stuff
153 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:05,360 we can still expand on mining a 3.8
154 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,800 it's a normal improvement that we wanted
155 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,360 to do for quite a while
156 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,080 it's adding depth to the game we will
157 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,840 have
158 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,600 five new mining lasers besides the
159 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:15,440 existing prospector laser
160 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,759 each of them made by their own
161 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,720 manufacturer each of them with their own
162 00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:20,800 stats
163 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,280 it's up to the player to choose what
164 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,639 best suits their situation
165 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:28,240 the new mining head lasers are size 1
166 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:30,560 but we're also
167 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,680 providing a size 2 counterpart for the
168 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,960 argo mall
169 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:38,560 they're going to replace the main
170 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,280 laser call it a weapon that sits at the
171 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,479 front of the
172 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,320 of the mining arm and uh they change the
173 00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:45,919 functionality of how the entire thing
174 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,680 works the mining arm stays the same
175 00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:50,080 because it doesn't
176 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,680 bring any new stats in the in the mining
177 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,080 operation it just supports the mining
178 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,639 head
179 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,400 so that will stay on the prospector
180 00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:57,919 exactly as it is it's just the front of
181 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,039 it that changes
182 00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:02,479 so we had two general principles when we
183 00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:04,080 thought about how we were going to make
184 00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:06,240 these new mining lasers
185 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,600 one of them is mainly making mining
186 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,000 quicker more
187 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,720 faster but riskier the other one is
188 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,319 making it
189 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,560 slower but safer so for 38 we made a lot
190 00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:18,720 of changes to the asteroids we
191 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,240 kind of had to re-work all of them
192 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,840 rebalance them
193 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,400 as soon as the resistance of the rock
194 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:26,000 kind of increases about 15 20 percent
195 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,680 you'll need a better laser head to be
196 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000 able to handle that so we
197 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,360 we basically broaden the entire spectrum
198 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,080 of rocks
199 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,080 the idea is we are adding more gameplay
200 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,960 and more possibilities we're adding more
201 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,120 challenges
202 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,560 for the players who really want to do a
203 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,479 lot of mining and that is their
204 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,919 specialization we just want to add a lot
205 00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:47,120 of depth for them
