Every year I ask myself one thing... "When will it be released?" and I know there's only one right answer and that's Soon™ Nevertheless, I hope that he takes as much time as he really needs. It shouldn't just look nice, I also want pleasant gameplay and enough content that offers variety so that you don't know everything after 1-2 hours of gameplay and everything gets monotonous very quickly.

So will guns be mostly useless in the game due to the shields? If projectiles aren't useful and lasgun turn off that makes it seem like investing in guns would be a waste. Sucks because I was hoping to be a sniper. I'm not really familiar with Dune lore, but I am kind of wondering if I will be into it. I like to be an assassin or Mech-based engineer in games. The dragonfly looking robot caught my attention, but I really want to see what my options are in building a character before I invest in the game. The type I can build will decide if I play it or not more than anything.

Excellent video, sir! Thanks for covering this so well. As a long time Dune fan, I was curious about the game... and this certainly whetted my appetite for seeing how this game goes! As an aside, SW:G remains the greatest tragedy of the MMORPG industry. So much huge potential in it (pre-NGE) wasted by a team making so many bad decisions!

In OG SWG, you didn't get skill points and put them in, you actually leveled up skills by using them. I'm not sure what they changed after that update that killed the game, as I refused to play it at that point.

Yes you are right, i worded that wrong! OG SWG for life! No post-NGE crapola for me either. You'd earn skill points by using respective abilities/weapons, then max out that part of the tree before needing a trainer to progress. Good times!

I would really like to have the ability to save customizations for ships as blueprints you can save, and then when you're needing to quickly produce ships in a fly, you can just select from the blueprints you've made instead of having to manually choose components for every new ship. That would get tedious real fast. I can also tell that they must have gotten consultation on correct radio transmissions because a lot of those radio transmissions sound like what real life Navy's would be doing, like, within a task force, or when communicating with commercial vessels.

23:52 looks like their hit boxes collided, to me. You can see it better if you go back to the collision at 23:48. Not sure if either of them took any damage from the impact but, it seems, based on that clip, that ship collisions are not animated at this point.
