NOTE: Nyx Landing Zone was previewed as "Coming Soon" in August 2015. This interview took place shortly after that preview - Tony Z says that Nyx Landing Zone is "largely done" and will be released in the next milestone after 'Shopping'.

I'm not super clear what the Nyx Landing Zone is. Nyx is a star system.

https://starcitizen.tools/Nyx

quote:

Planets
Nyx I

Nyx I is a coreless world that has been mined clean by the Gold Horizon corporation.[4]

Nyx II

A high-pressure atmosphere and thick clouds of acid and carbon dioxide make Nyx II not worth terraforming.

Delamar

Not technically a planet - this moon sized asteroid is hidden deep within the Glaciem Ring. Anti-UEE activists, political radicals and criminals now occupy a deserted mining facility built inside this asteroid. In an effort to keep out potential criminal elements, visitors are strictly forbidden from entering its residential areas.

Nyx III

Nyx III is an ice giant that lacks a breathable atmosphere or any valuable materials

Delamar is located in the Stanton system for 3.0.

I guess he is referring to Levski? Levski is listed as a landing zone under the Nyx star entry:

quote:

Levski is a so called free-town located in the former QV Planet Services mining facility on Delamar in the Nyx System.

So, maybe the Nyx landing zone is in, on Delamar, and it's named Levski, but it's currently in Stanton.

This loving game.

I have no loving idea, I asked in chat if any of this was in game and the consensus was predictably a negative on that, none of that is in the game

The video shows all the concept art and Tony starts off by saying it's almost done and coming after shopping, then goes into all that detail as if it is a real thing that exists that they have built - when in fact it's just another load of lies to get mentally retarded complete loving idiots who I have run out of sympathy for to part with money so Chris can stick it up his nose and his wife can fund her failed Holywood career whilst snorting lines off a $1,000 table paid for with fraud, deception, lies and outright blatant scamming bullshit.

The problem is this thread puts more thought into SC than CIG does. This is the star citizen design process:

1. Do cocaine.
2. Wave hands and expand scope. The best game ever will obviously have all the things.
3. Profit.

Snaked this from reddit. Weekly org growth for the 10 "fastest growing" organizations. Now, a lot of new players MMO players won't join a guild right away, but hear me out. Star Citizen's "metagame" right now revolves around ships, and dreams. Orgs are a huge part of that dream, and not only are many new people introduced to the game by members of an org, but they also advertise incessantly (ask me about my inbox on Spectrum) to anyone not in an org already.

With that being said, the top org in the game recruited a whopping 59 new players. I can't draw any real hard comparison to actual new player count from that, but it would imply not a whole lot of people are signing up.

how they even gonna handle something as simple as org chat

you have 10k members in your loving org, how you gonna handle chatting with them. 100 person guilds in wow were way too loving much, how you gonna do this poo poo, you gonna put a hard limit on org numbers, that's how and you're going to have six hundred spinoffs of TEST and there will be so much goddamn animosity between its members and I will laugh as you butcher each other across game forums vying to be the closest ones to montoyas balls

Scheduled to begin development in August 2015, we just need to reorganise JIRA and we'll get right on it, it's almost done, tweaking and polishing, 2 weeks, pole vaulting, just need those CryEngine SDK updates first, Vulkan, whatever you need to hear just send us more money

Oh poo poo yeah we're not doing that anymore did you guys not see the video, yeah in the video about the lore there was a question about trading and we talked about Org 2.0, did you not catch that, did you not catch where we talked about it?

Yeah you see we had it almost done, you see, we had it almost done but then what happened you see, what happened was that Derek Smart, yeah that sneaky Derek Smart sneaked into our office and stole all our good work, can you imagine that, the balls on that guy, sneaked right in there and stole all that work that you paid for, he literally took food out of your mouth, reached right into your mouth and took your food, can you imagine that, he took food right out of your mouth but we're not going to let him get away with it, once we get subsumption working and docking and put a new netcodes in there and all the other stuff and 1,000s of players and mopping you'll see, but right now what we need you to do is dig deep, we're gonna have you dig deep right now because we've had this great idea about submarines and look how cool this thing is, do you want it, do you want the submarine Morty, do you want the submarine Morty because it goes in the water, in the water Morty, it goes in the water don't you want to go in the water Morty

As memory serves they said that Org 2.0 was basically one line of code away from being finished but then they decided to have a poll to see what people really wanted and it turned out that CIG's poll determined that what people really wanted was a fully interactive star map, so they dropped everything to get cracking on that.

I guess they're still working on it.

Your money is safe with these people.

No. From what was told to me, evocati were testing different builds. In a day, they send out multiple builds. Some are more focused on flight dynamics while others on FPS gameplay. The evocati have their own chat, discord, ptu forums, etc. They're all in one test group, but testing different things. The results are tabulated and they'll use those to streamline the builds so that the can get it out to PTU quicker.
