New ATV preview on Kiosk Interface improvements + a new Ship Shape about the Vanduul Blade.

https://twitter.com/RobertsSpaceInd/status/996895746917109760

1) I hope the Vanduul Blade requires players to use the ceremonial spiky sticksword of tribal Vanduul leaders to start the ignition. Preferably with the player looking at the spiky sticksword and engaging an inner though interface written entirely in Vanduul because realism.

2) “Where we’re currently at is probably the most exciting part. We have base functionality already working...” (In year 6, base functionality of the revised shopping kiosks are a go... the gameplay possibilities are endless!!!)

At least.

So now we’re due for the 4th episode on the sounds of Squadron. Or maybe an in-depth look (for the 6th time) at Ship Pipeline refinements. Or a return to mess hall animations and that procedurally scattered tableware Erris was so jazzed about...

You've been around long enough so I'm going to assume you know what warbond purchases and LTI are.

This latest concept ship went on sale with a warbond version that was $100 cheaper, included LTI (only the warbond version featured LTI), and came with a bonus concept tank jpeg.

Thanks! I knew I was missing something. :)

So a non-fidelity physics based skyship MMO game enters true early access today on steam. They've even got a real roadmap where actual progress is made! of course they're having issues with having more than five big ships in one area but at least you can actually blow these ships apart bit by bit.



Raskolnikov posted:

New trailer! It's going to be in game eventually too which should help set the tone for new players.

I'm very confused that they didn't try and sell me a specific ship from the trailer though. Send help!

Look if the game doesn’t force you to spend at least $275 on a .jpeg how will you know to care about the ship when the actual game comes out?

I remember when the Kickstarter happened and I thought it was insane that they were selling ships for $600.

Now every new ship is in the $400-$800 range.

How am I supposed too know if my gaming experience is valuable without a monetary figure attached to everything I do? It's probably a bad findom sim. I'll stick with Star citizen after all!

How much of this game is sandboxy building of your ship and running around solo a-la minecraft survival mode, and how much is getting wrecked by shitheels who hang out at the starting zone using their gold plated thundercocks to swat newbies?

I like the airship concept and I wouldn't mind noodling around, but I am not really interested in the anarcho-pvp eve model of mmo.

Honestly it depends on the random starter island you get dumped on and if you pick the more popular servers. But yes it is open pvp. If you know what you're doing it's pretty easy to escape from but as a noobie a devoted bunch of griefers could really ruin your day. I wish I had a better answer than that right now. I'm meeting with the developers today and I'm going to be bringing up new player experience and social tools when it's appropriate.

As far as sandbox solo fun? There's a ton of it, but that's because I really have played the game too much already. I can bounce back from losing my ships over and over to players, bugs or the most common one: my own stupidity.

My favorite part is all the hundreds of islands in the game are hand crafted by the community so each new place you come across has it's own unique feel. I've made a couple too and I hope to see more in game soon.
