@NightNord my opinion will change rapidly if there is something else beyond dynamic servermeshing that they now need. But this has been 'the thing' since 2018. Genuinely, they have nothing more to hide behind. Sq42 is in polish so man power isn't an issue anymore either. And servermeshing is being tested in evo now. And it's functionally working. Which is better than what could be said for PES last year. A lot of people didnt think we'd have meshing at all this year saltemike included. I think you are being too cynical, but I don't blame your stance. I simply hope you are wrong.

Nice review, thank you. A place to call home in the Verse will be nice.

Great video! There's been so much hype about server meshing and high pop servers that it's a relief to hear someone being pragmatic about the state of that tech. I'm sure it really will be fantastic when it comes, but I'm not at all surprised to hear that it's a long way from being truly playable.

Excited for the future hold the line!

I was salty like you when I did the second part of the Overdrive. Hope they spice it up more.

As for the vehicle image, rotate it 90° and it looks like a small buggy wheel+light

If the Item Kiosk has a search function, it will be way better than pressing "I". At least if you have a shitload of stuff.

I hope in the future we can set home hangers to different places like stations. I mostly play around crusader but I hate going down to orison since the fps is bad there. It would be cool to have a hangar at grimhex. It would be cool if we could sell hangars or buy new ones at different locations in the future. Its definitely going to make me think of where I set my home location next wipe.

it would be cool to see a single system support up to 3500 people. I imagine if we have shards on each region, us west, us east, etc etc that the pop between all the advertised systems 100+ (more likely 10) would need to be able to host a lot to feel the space and feel alive.

The sneak peak, looks like an Argo ship with the shade of orange possibly.

I'm curious what will happen to Outposts with the freight elevators …

automatic loading in the hangar is great but how does it work with the hull c,d,e?

The ships are not disappearing. When around a moon, the split between the two server instances is where you enter/exit the moon entity border. Just like in the game as it is now, Moon and Planet entities are rotating, so when you exit the Moon entity and enter another server, the ship is moving so extremely fast that it looks like it disappears. I tried doing the same test in a C2 with a Pisces inside, but flying straight up from OM1, leaving my C2 inside the Moon's entity layer and flying out with my Pisces and I could see the C2 begin to move away from me. When I have time to make a video and combine some of the clips, I will.

I'mma call it. This is the homestretch. It's still a long stretch, but we are now finally in the era where this goes from a fun tech demo to a serious game. SQ is pretty much locked in and just needs the final touches which requires a smaller team, and more resources are finally being redirected to SC along with many of the features that til now were in SQ42. And of course, with actual server meshing (and considering this is pretty much tier 0) finally being put in and actually working at this scale, I think it's safe to call it. I at least have a feeling this time next year it's going to at least finally be a game more casuals can enjoy daily, and I can finally feel confident talking people into joining the project, but 1.0 still is at least 3 years away, but definitely more.

I've been watching stuff about this game since someone told me about it back in ~2012/2013. I've just built a PC and have finally been able to play it. There are lots of bugs and some frustrating lack of QoL features, but I've only had the game crash once in about 50-70 hours of gameplay. I've seen far worse from fully "finished" games (a very low bar these days, I know). I'm having so much fun, I've done mining, attempted bunker raids, getting into salvage, and haven't even touched dog-fighting or racing yet. I've played with other people a bit and had a blast so far. I'm excited to see where these next few years go.

i can see a lot of issues arising with the crazy amount of players we are now capable of and hanger numbers. it's probably going to require an update to a lot of cities to make it less less of a troll fest since people will probably just go into random hangers, try to spawn their ship in the in hanger terminals to mess with people, stealing items from personal hangers and probably much more

I'm guessing it's a drake. The image looks like the side of a cutter or vulture engine with additional vents. Maybe a misc??

Great video thanks 😊

Very excited to see the progress. I've bought a mustang for 45 bucks 2 years ago, (i know its a sub par choice but its the one i wanted to fly lol) haven't got to fly it yet because my computer can't handle SC. Some day we will and SC keeps looking better!

There needs to be a party and an Org option where an Org member can call up a ship and open the doors in place of an owner of the bay/ship.

thx for the info

11:44 Soooo... This gives them an opportunity to start to make locations unique again. They removed Crusader's tall atmosphere that made it feel unique and made it a real decision as to when and why you went there.. and now Crusader feels just like any other location really. So one thing that might make locations unique again would be something like Hurston item banks... disallowing any firearms or ammo. lol That sounds like a pain in the ass... and in a way.. it's supposed to be. But remember.. you will have access to those less than savory areas beneath the city. So smuggling weapons.. will actually FEEL like smuggling weapons.

the sneak peak is a bike that is a tire from the side or it looks like one to me xD

Pretty sure that new ship is the Misc Raptor. Would line up with the other hints they gave and the deep dived info.

for me the biggest is that now we will be able to buy mining bags, so we can farm and drop it there, no need to go and sell it straight away, amazing.

I have extensive experience on the subject. This will be vaporware in 10 years, unless Datacenter resources become cheaper (they wont), bandwidth increases 10 fold (they wont) and compression increases 5 fold (it wont). PIPE DREAM

i'm not a huge fan of item banks adding an extra step in the form of having to loot a box then equip. would be great to just equip right from the terminal screen. Seems like it's adding two new layers of friction for item recovery in this design.

Hey Mike I hope you see this cause I got a question. Have they addressed what is going to happen when you buy cargo from ground stations/outposts? With the new system being implemented where buying goods at cities/space stations will be transferred in the background, how would this change with buying goods from ground stations/outposts? You know, since there’s NOTHING there to hide this function from happening automatically like at a hanger. Is it just going to stay the same?

@@USArmy31 AFAIK the Hull series will still be loaded in orbit outside the station. Maybe they have little Argo-Cargos bringing the boxes out or something. Hopefully on a docking port so you can walk around a station/get on another ship. But I'm not sure if I'm understanding what your saying. The Hull series (with the exception of the A and maybe the B) aren't meant to land, and in all honesty, are meant for intersystem cargo (eg. moving and entire militia's worth of supplies). Even just between planet systems in Stanton, any "Freighter" sized ship (just the Hull series right now) is overkill. They can only viably move goods between stations with a cargo deck (which I think is good balance so people aren't landing their Hull E upright, trying to load it at Brio's). The way I've come to understand it is that small/medium cargo ships are basically the minivans of space, need to move a bike or do some box running, these are the perfect ships. Medium/Large cargo ships are where you start having the space to move around the big 16SCU boxes and larger, more combat oriented, vehicles. You can think of these ships like box trucks/trailer tucks. IMO this is where the current "cargo" gameplay is being fleshed out. Most of these ships are small enough to land in places like Brio's, Jumptown ect., but don't have the ability to do "mass transport" without a small fleet of them. The large "freighters" as I like to call them don't necessarily have anything to do in the game right now. You can think of these as the ocean liners of space. Until there's some sort of "economy" where stations and stores can run out of things until a player/AI fills the stations request (eg someone buys all the Lumin V's and no one else can get any from that store), or any other reason to move mass amounts of goods from one station to another, there isn't really a point in being able to move mass amount of cargo w/o landing ability. Stations just don't need that many goods, and you can't land your freighters at the pickup spots on planets. TLDR; The Hull series is cool, but cargo isn't done on a large enough scale between stations (yet) to flesh out its gameplay loop. Small/Medium cargo ships are cool and will get more use as cargo weight/piracy becomes more of a factor. (The Hercules is only the "best" cargo ship at the moment because it acts like its cargo is empty at all times, while other cargo ships act like they are full at all times)

Why does everybody think your hangar won't be able to change until a new patch? That's a frankly very silly assumption to make. They make it very clear they have a method for determining your largest owned ship. The obvious conclusion is that function runs every time your entitlements change (ship added to 'inventory'). They went out of their way to build an entire new elevator for ships and modify all of the hangars accordingly, just so they can make sure ship swapping is seamless, why do you not expect them to have invested the literal 30 minutes that it takes for the "what size hangar do you need" function to be made to run every time your entitlements change? 😂 As somebody that has worked in the industry I would unironically bet any of you $1k cash that if you buy a bigger ship than your persistent hangar can allow, then they just move your ship to your inventory (that was placed in the hangar's zone area) and give you a new, bigger hangar 😂 You think they're going to add in these changes to the hangars, without having thought AT ALL about what happens if somebody buys a new, bigger ship during gameplay? When that is basically the only real thing to progress towards, at all, in this stage of alpha? 🤣🤣🤣They've done ALL THIS WORK on hangars, and they haven't thought about the very logically simple process of upgrading your hangar entitlement when you buy a big ship? What? 🤣Anybody that genuinely thinks that is frankly a goof ball, to be completely honest with you.

Don't forget that you may have "decorated" your hangar and placed all sorts of items in various places around the hangar. However, this should be fairly easy to deal with if your hangar gets upgraded to a larger size, as it should be pretty simple to code the game to just automagically move all of those items back into your master inventory. Yea, you'll have to summon the items again and manually place them where you want them again, but I don't see that as that much of a big deal.

800 player shard holy molly

they should rethink this ship spawning system. it should be possible to select several vehicles and call them on the same platform, ground vehicles and ships at the same time

For me 3.23 was the big update I was waiting for and kind of still is, but after playing for literally hours the other day in a 30fps server for the first time albeit a quiet one, experiencing the game actually WORKING was just the cream... add in player counts in multiples of 100's maybe 1000's makes server meshing my biggest want over anything. The main reason I stop playing is the jankyness, and the 30ks. It just makes me feel tired when I start playing when the game is constantly borked. That 30fps server finally gave me a glimpse of what things should be like.

I am enjoying and I am liking.

They kinda said it, we get a personalized hanger from our home location only meaning other locations ships should be spawned the same way they are now. So if you get a medium hanger for your home location then but a large ship, it goes to reason that you would not be able to call it in your home hanger rather call it the same way we do now in the standard hangers.

There's two different kinds of hangars coming next patch. Personal hangars, and persistent hangars. Most of these features, from my understanding, are coming to persistent hangars, which will be replacing all hangars. Personalized hangars are a special hangar that's private to you, and potentially has some additional customization. Sounds like the customization won't be coming this patch, but you can leave stuff around in the personalized hangar and no one else can get to it.
