These explosions are loving wonderful.

I have to ask though, what's the deal with the hex grid around the outside of the playable area? it looks janky as hell and with the new explosions, if you lose that grid and just had a high quality star scape backdrop you could genuinely mistake it for SC if you're not looking closely, which would be hilarious.

It's when they get really upset about people doubting the project, then tell them to think about it rationally without emotion that really makes me smile.

Clearly this guy has an accurate idea of the progress of a project that we've seen literally zero in gameplay footage of from all his rational thoughts about the subject that have nothing to do with being emotionally over invested and believing what he wants to believe.

Where's the gameplay, CIG? Less than 9 months till your projected release date.... not even a 5 minute clip of what we're going to be doing in this video game.

Lando hints at something dropping this friday. I'm guessing it isn't 2.3 going LIVE because they haven't been announcing those in advance and 2.3 on PTU is still rough as hell. I don't think it would be another concept sale because even if they're hurting from the sale that just came out, they probably know it looks desperate.

My guess is a SQ42 trailer. Fingers crossed.

It's not. They don't have an SQ42 trailer yet, last I heard.

And I don't they care about appearing desperate any more. That ship long since sailed.

That's got nothing to do with the physics grid. They're simply not setup because they need to make the seats interactive, then add animations, proximity detection (which triggers the USE), volume detection etc.
