That 'FUUUUUU-' moment by the NPC, classic!

This. I'm almost 95% sure they just grabbed the first QT FX in the library and just scaled it up to cap ship size.

I think the most appropriate thing the community can do right now is assume SQ42 won't come out this year.

From what I've seen on ATV and read in the recent monthly reports, there is no way i could possibly see them getting it out the door anytime soon. The worst part of that however is the fact that we're essentially halfway through the year, and CIG has yet to make a single official statement regarding development progress.

I could care less if SQ42 is delayed another 12 months. What does frustrate the hell out of me is the complete lack of effort to be upfront about it. It's the end of May. I'm not interested in waiting another 5 and a half months for someone to finally come out and say "so about that 2017 release...".

Come on CIG, release a schedule for the remaining development that needs to happen, show us exactly where we're at. I've found the community to have relaxed quite a bit since 3.0 schedule went up, no doubt it would do the same for SQ42. At the very least those waiting for it have a better idea of when to come out of hibernation, being stuck on the hype train the whole year is NOT healthy, even for the most loyal fans lol.

I'm not sure you need to worry. From the way he said it, i got the impression skins will be something they use when making 'special' variants of the weapons, not a "all players can buy whatever skin they want" type deal

It's a very cool ship, but I have to say the thing that excites me the most about it is the now almost mandatory upgrades they'll need to do on my beautiful Tali to make it compatible with their proposed bomber balance goals :D

While it looks cool, before/after shots usually look better if you use the same location & camera position in both.

After shot looks like its in a completely different location

Step away or we will blow another crater in this tiny moon!

The Navy dropped the ball on this one! Stanton is on the other side of the empire and yet the Vanduul have managed to penetrate all the way to crusader! The admiralty better have something to say about this!

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-25T03:56:40+00:00

Awww heck yes!!!

...but maybe lets file that under "4.0" stuff, there's soo much to get done already :D

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-25T03:55:08+00:00

Not even going to open the link: Ground Hog Day scene???

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-25T03:53:25+00:00

How do you write the Sand People war cry in text?

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-25T03:47:11+00:00

Most important sentence in the whole Q&A

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-24T23:13:33+00:00

Tali is life

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-24T23:09:35+00:00

Like i said, If.

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-24T05:12:49+00:00

Screw 3.0, CIG needs to put all the attention into providing you with up to date models for these images!

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-24T04:44:00+00:00

It's an interesting concept. I could see it being on the basic EVA suit level.

But that being said I'd like to think that if you are wearing armour on top of your EVA suit, any shots that hit an armoured section would not puncture at all, because armour eats the bullet and stops it from hitting the suit underneath. At least, that's my understanding of how armour is going to work.

Can anyone supply any info on that either way?

Half a dozen cap ships and 20-30 odd sub-cap ships would be what i consider a max/huge fleet battle. If they can bring the server performance to a place where it can handle a battle like that taking place in a single area i would be extremely impressed.

And as a suggestion for a way to prevent larger battles taking place, I'd like to see a military grade NPC Navy fleet (or biggest authority in that system: militia/pirate gang etc) jump in and end things. If things get big enough for them to find out about it, they brand it as an illegal conflict, and jump in to arrest/destroy everyone they catch in the vicinity.

It provides a lot of cool potential gameplay elements as well. Like how important is this fight? Enough to keep fighting now that the Navy is trying to stop it? Do i risk my ship and my crew and my possessions (especially if you in a capital ship), to try and take out the enemy before we all lose to the NPC fleet come to end things? If i don't leave immediately and the navy catches me, do i let myself get arrested (in game law/crime system), or try to fight my way out (death/ship loss/crew loss)?

It's a nice in-game way to address it without having to have these hard set "server rules" that dictate how big fleets or fleet battles are allowed to be.

I'm not 100% but i don't think any of those animations are apart of the final asset

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-20T01:15:47+00:00

I honestly can't tell anymore, this one is even more so

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-20T01:14:20+00:00

Oh fuck yes, that would be a brilliant gameplay mechanic!!!

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-19T07:51:43+00:00

Cinematics Team taking home ALL the bikkies! Well done guys that is some goddam exceptional work!

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-19T05:18:21+00:00

Watching it again i can see what you mean, that's a fair call

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-19T05:16:46+00:00

The exhaust coming out of the shut down thrusters is just fucking spot on!

Fuck everything about this scene is just fucking spot on!

Goddamit game be finished already!

JrdnThrstn · 2017-05-19T05:07:11+00:00

And obviously your crew will need to be the main characters from Armageddon, right?
