Yah super unfortunate, was just checking the page to see!

Anytime, Thanks for watching !

I think it will be on in a couple hours, the time zone delay says it should be online in about 8 hours from now.

It’s a pleasure to have you part of the community 🙏🏻 thanks for watching the video!

Sure man😁👍 glad you liked it🙏🏻

Anytime man, Thanks for watching!

Anytime man, Should be another coming out tonight, just waiting on the weekly update from CIG 😁👍

Interesting so what kind of games are you into these days? I do get where you're coming from though, as I got older I started enjoying more flight simulators and vehicle combat games, but I used to really love FPS games back in the day, this game however, got me excited to play FPS again.

@@faintanomaly I ditched tarkov recently and got back to SC. Solo mole mining in arial in those barren deserts, it has been almost therapeutical lol with some podcast running in the background as if it was a radio playing discussions 1k years ago lol got also into Soulmask, pretty good so far, despite being EA.

Me too, it’s something different, I was initially on the edge, but i’m so glad I ended up pulling the trigger on it 😂 I think this game will see regular updates too, the 2 devs really seem to be enthusiastic about their project😁👍

I believe point defence system are actually planned to be in the game, if i’m not mistaken. CIG has spoken about these concepts a couple times in the past, they feel that they could add them but then they’d lose the “game” aspect, they want people to have things to do while playing the game, and having most of the in game systems automated would mean that players would have a lot more down time. They want star citizen to be a game you play with friends and random players you meet along the way, interaction is important to them. But don’t forget, there’s AI planned for the game, you’d be able to hire crew to help you manage your ship and the AI could help to keep up with many of these tasks on board your ship. I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you, CIG wants the game to be fun. But realism and a “fun” game has always been been a balance that they’re mindful of of 👍 Thanks for the comment

I can't wait for this one in particular to be released, this is the most gorgeous ship in the game to me

Thanks man, the channel has progressed a lot since these older videos, you should check out some of the newer stuff I have on the channel 👍

Thank you, if you like this you'd love the pirating video on this ship - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZjcap1mgraGntk

Sweet well I’ll try to keep to a high standard for you and hopefully get even better🙏🏻👍

@@faintanomaly I'm sure you will! Looking forward to it :)

I tried to find the most piratey song i could😂

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 if you like edits I think the best one I’ve done is the MSR showcase video m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIrOkp-bnq96Y7c

Thanks man, I try to keep them short for people that just want the news for the week, super quick😁👍

Thanks Man! Glad you enjoyed it

Ahhh man, well there's always IAE later this year, I'm sure they'll have another sale on some of the starter packages then. Which package were you eyeballing?

@@faintanomaly i mainly wanted to upgrade my arrow

Goodluck man🙏🏻🙏🏻 I hope you guys have a ball of a time!

I see where you’re coming from, but i’m still hyped for this ship😂 it’s kinda cozy 😂

@@faintanomaly I hope when alll the textures and colors are in, that the interior look great too.

@@Pharesm I'm not sure if you've seen the latest Q&A with the devs yet, but apparently the interior of this ship set a new standard, so I'm very excited for the interior. oh and if you wanna check it out here's the link and a time stamp 59 minutes in exactly kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWLYmnWMls-pfKc

lol yah, at this point they're just gonna launch it and the game will just get regular updates, that will probably happen after pyro

Dam man that's horrible, have you tried a clean install? wiping everything and doing it over? I installed clean this time and I haven't had any Issues yet

The new patch also just dropped this morning maybe you have better stability with this one

That's a longer term goal for these videos, up until recently I didn't have the smoothest computer for star citizen, but I did upgrade now, so I'd like to work in some of my own footage from time to time. Glad you liked the video 😁

What don’t you like about master modes? So far i’ve been finding it pretty fun, but it could just be the way I personally play the game. There’s definitely a lot more keybindings

@@faintanomaly Thanks for responding Mr. Anomaly. I started playing 3 months before 3.23 came out, so that should give this some context. The flight model and the way ships worked was simple, logical, and felt really intuitive in atmo and zero G. The big rub for me is that the ships are unnecessarily convoluted now and combat has been boiled down to whoever has the higher DPS (in the case of two fighters fighting) or faster strafe (smaller ship vs. heavier) will inevitably win the 150-200 m/s strafe and aim fest that is 3.23 combat. In 3.22 we could maneuver, strategize, joust if necessary, and even circle strafe an enemy if we were skilled enough. No matter the size ship, I always felt I had a chance in PVP or PVE combat. Now the ships feel kind of clunky and slow, though I'm not sure what changed in the actual physical flight model. Master Modes forces me to take a lot of damage because combat can only occur in <200 m/s speeds. In my opinion, they took what made this game unique and made it into a CoD-like min/max battle where the fastest strafing ship with the highest DPS weapons will win any given engagement. I'm just glad I've been playing on a friend's account so I don't have any money sunk into the game in case they don't make some changes for the positive. This is not to mention the myriad tiny issues and basic systems that are built on sand. 3.23 is lipstick on a pig.

Alright I think I see where you're coming from. Your main concern seems to stem from combat not having the same "opportunities" it used to, in other words, more limited for the ships that could've escaped sticky situations in previous patches, now potentially getting crushed, up close, from the close range engagements. I can see where you're coming from, previous patches probably made fights more unpredictable and by extension more exciting. Am I correct in my understanding that you're more concerned with what we lost, than what we gained? Do you feel like we gained anything from patch 3.23? Does the patch have any merits? I think this new patch has definitely added complexity with the 3 sub modes under the 2 main modes... I myself have got stuck with this a couple times but I think I'll get used to it. What I don't get is why we can't have shields in NAV mode. It's not like anyone will be able to shoot us, if they are in SCM and we are in NAV mode, we'll be 2 times faster than them, so escape should be easy. Shields also make sense incase you bump stations or mess up landings. I think the combat aspect will improve over time with many passes of ship stats. I just want to know if Master Modes are so broken that the Tweaks that will eventually happen, won't be enough? or will we have to go back to the old way? do we stick to this and tough it out? who knows...

@@faintanomaly Fights before made more sense too, in a way. Why would a manufacturer make a ship limited to 200m/s when there's no legit reason to in a fight? Like...one manufacturer would just make a ship that could behave like 3.22 ships (high speed capable, shields always up, stealth, easy to use functions without switching modes, etc.) and just dominate the star system. Yeah, the shields in nav mode thing is a killer. If you try to break contact then you end up dying to missiles as you jet away without shields... I don't mean to come off all negative, but it seems like 3.23 is all fluff and no substance. They made the UI better, but the gameplay is worse somehow. Contracts barely accept and track and cargo disappears even more than before. It's just frustrating to play right now.

@@leehrvyoswld No no you're not coming off negative, I see where you're coming from and I understand many of the points you raise. I'm just glad you actually have some points, I've had some people complain about master modes in the past on the channel but they couldn't tell me what they thought was actually wrong. I still think there's gonna be a place in the middle, where everyone makes some sacrifices. The way MM is now seems to not be working for a substantial amount of people. I guess, my hope is just that the tweaks to MM can get it there in the end, but I don't know. I do know that the previous version also had it's flaws, for me personally the high speed altercations was too much, but I know some liked that aspect of the game with jousting gameplay being a huge part of the skillset they developed and came to love.

Hell yah man, I think star citizen is in a good spot right now, just needs some refinement, I haven’t been able to play since the weekend I hope it’s still holding up as nice as it did then

If this is true...🎉

Very curious to know what you think, why don’t you like master modes? Is it combat related, just general flight or something specific?

The major differences are much smoother and more intuitive control. Momentum is also conserved after leaving the inputs. It's very similar to DCS, which is another flight simulator game that I'm familiar with. I think CIG is moving in that direction (FlightSim) anyways, especially after seeing the CitizenCon demo. The realistic control surface movements and also the stalling behaviour, those are all found in the more realistic sims. I'm excited personally about these changes, but I know it's not for everyone, so people need to speak up on spectrum if they don't like the direction the game is heading, but we'll see...

@@faintanomaly yeah i have seen a lot of heat about the new Master mode for example. To be honest i dont have a particular opinion on the flight mode, as i mostly play with keyboard and mouse, anything fits for me for better or worse. im more itnerested in the overall game and setting rather then flight itself

Same here actually, I used to play with a dual stick setup, with the pedals and head tracking, the whole works, but these days I actually prefer mouse and keyboard to the cumbersome setup of HOTAS. Once you get used to mouse and keyboard it's actually really fun, and I prefer it. Master Modes has been quite fun for me, but I don't do much PVP, I mainly fight NPC's. I can imagine a massive adjustment to the PVP players and also those players who bought a particular ship for it's performance in previous patches.

Hey man, I'm sure you can, I fly with mouse and keyboard these days, just had to get used to it. 😂 How's the new patch been for you? running alright on your side?

@@faintanomaly uhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I lost all my stuff due to a bug that broke the looting system so I couldn't get my stuff back when I died.... Otherwise I'm loving everything else!

Dam dude that's a shit one, I hope it wasn't any rare loot. So far i've been surprised by how stable everything is, I've had one issue with elevators not opening at the stations but it fixed itself after a couple minutes, so it was probably just a slow server load.

@@faintanomaly The rarest thing I lost was an lmg lol I didn't have much.

Ahhh okay could've been worse, still sucks, I hate it when that kind of thing happens. I have to wonder if in the future the human race ever gets to where the fictional people are in star citizen, if we'll be able to handle such power, I think most people will get in their ship and crash on takeoff and checkout lol. With Great Power comes Even Greater Accidents and Death 😂

I’ll find out for you tonight when I get home, I didn’t see anything online about it, I also didn’t see anything in the menu, but I’ll have a look. I do think if there isn’t a toggle to switch it back to the old way, then CIG might sdd it later, especially if enough poeple complain 👍

Yes it’s in flight movement called gravity compensation. You can set it as a keybind to toggle. Same place you find the keybind for landing gear speed restrictions

@@Ed_Patrick Sweet! thanks for the Info.👍

I set my Gravity compensator and my Precision mode to my key bind for Decoupled. Precision mode is the 30m/s limit with landing gear out. ALso new change in Decoupled with these setting turned off Makes your ship no long have vector hold mode with the gear out. Same as old Decoupled but no Vector hold with landing gear out... FYI

Thanks for pointing that out! @FathersGame2-zi5wv Very helpful comment for the others that might want to know.

I'm also quite disappointed about the Zues, I'm really excited for that ship, it will probably drop in a .1 or .2 Patch, but still, quite disappointing. We need Alpha 3.23 to be a Homerun at this point or things might get sour. I just hope there's a couple unexpected surprises at Invictus this time round, maybe the completion of the Idris, or the Polaris? Maybe they're further than we are let on to believe...

Hell yah man, get those referral bonuses 😄🤣 I really hope Alpha 3.23 will be a stable patch but I have my doubts, even if it's a little choppy I think we'll get there with a couple .1 & .2 Patches

Thanks man! Hoping to make them better for you guys !

Great tips, thanks man! Yah the footage is a tough one because I don’t have all the relevant content in my footage catalog but I keep adding new ones, so it will get better but it will be very gradual. The quotes Idea is great, i’ll do that for the next one! I didn’t quite realise how much info was packed into one of these reports, it’s very heavy😂

StarLeader tell me man, what do you think about potentially splitting this up into segments, as standalone videos? I could make the videos a lot shorter and cover a lot more ground, and people could tune in to the ones that they want to watch. The algorithm won't like it though, because it favors longer form content, over, for example, weekly updates.

@@faintanomaly I think you should keep the long form monthly report and if possible cut down each segment into a YT short to drive engagement to your channel. If someone who sees the short wants to see more the can click the link this the monthly report. What do you think?

@@faintanomaly in addition to what StarLeader said in his next comment. one thing you can do Is Segment the longer form Video into chapters. Instead of splitting the information into multiple videos. Each Chapter highlight a point of topic. Ai Features, AI Tech etc. This makes it easier for people to get a general sense for the video & what it contains. as well as allow people to come back to the video and find a bit of information they are looking for. These chapter break points are also perfect locations to have a Ads play. as It doesn't break the informational content for the chapter. Giving the viewer the full info before moving to a Ad. For anyone that doesn't know what Chapters are. On any video with chapters Clicking the Text Next to the Timer and duration of the video will bring up all chapters. On the video timeline you will also see Notches highlighting where a new chapter begins and a old one ends.

@@Bretout That's Great, I'll take a look into these suggestions for the next one. I wanted to add chapters to the video but couldn't find them in the editor or when publishing, but I'll take another look next time round I'll also add them to the start of the longer video next month so people can skip to the part they want to check out, the last thing I want is to waste people's time. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks man, appreciate the kind words!

Yes that’s right, I’m doing it with pedals in this clip, Thrustmaster pedals that come with the 16000 kit. But my understanding is the new update to the game will no longer require upwards thrust input to maintain altitude.

@@faintanomaly That's really awesome. I fly HOSAS and have been wanting to experience decoupled a bit more but vertical thrust on the t16000 twist axis makes this a royal pain. If you're right about the update that will make world of difference. I would hope that in that scenario upwards thrust would still need to be applied at lower velocities to maintain altitude.

I know they’re trying to get the flight model as realistic as possible, they want to take the game in the direction they showed at CitizenCon. That flight demo with the gladius is probably what they want to get things too eventually. In that world the upwards thrust is something you’d only really use for landings. We’re gonna have to wait and see. I know there’s a lot of players who have invested a lot of money in their setups and spent a lot of time learning the game mechanics. I just hope a full out war doesn’t break out between CIG and the Pledgers 😂

Yah it is. I don't know, I might be wrong on this but it feels like this has been moving a lot faster than most patches? right? or am I the only one that feels that way😆😅

@@faintanomaly You're not alone.

I heard there’s some changed with decoupled flight coming with mastermodes, i believe i heard one of the devs say that the upwards thrust will no longer need to be held down in atmo, but we’ll see, congratz on the sticks !

Thanks for the kind comment! Glad you enjoyed the video 😄

Thanks for the kind comment, I try to do exactly that, I'm considering expanding my coverage to the Monthly reports, those updates are quite big and it would be nice to cover those efficiently for you guys as well ! 😁

@@faintanomaly Monthly reports are a great idea! i don't have the attention span to sit through a 20minute video detailing every little thing, so it would be much nicer having everything in a 5 minute video! keep making and ill definitely keep watching

I'll Keep that in mind for the next one, Thanks for the Feedback and Kind Words! 😁

@@faintanomaly thank you for the video!

Indeed it is my fellow South African😆

I can’t wait man, we’re so close, the latest evo patch is also looking a lot more stable, we’re getting there

@@faintanomaly The hype is *REEEAAAALLLLL!!!!!*

The ship sounds are in, they're in the EPTU at the moment and should be in Live when 3.23 moves Past the PTU, Expected some time in May. As to the interaction animation's, I'm not sure what you're referring too, Are you talking about the animation's that we saw at CitizenCon ? or the new interaction system in terms of tapping "F" to interact, instead of the holding "F" and clicking with the mouse?

I appreciated you taking the time to reply to comments on older videos. I was referring to what we seen at citizen con. How when you press the button on a door, the character actually reaches out to press it

@@jnh8057 ahhhh, Alright I understand, as far as I know the most recent patch will not yet include that, so maybe the next one? Honestly i'd be guessing at this point, but I think that's a ways off. I'm also super amped for the in-ship interactions, the Gladius demonstrated that beautifully at Citizencon, and it's a pleasure luckily the channel is still small enough that I can respond to all the comments comfortably.😄

Thanks man, I try to keep these short and to the point, i’m glad you appreciate them. The youtube algorithm doesn’t like these shorter videos because advertising on them is tough, but I’m glad you appreciate it!

Thanks man I appreciate it, in the middle of building a new pc to step up the content even more😁🙏🏻

I would love to give a tutorial but with master modes around the corner, a lot of it will get outdated really quickly, maybe once master modes are in live then I could give it a go.(shouldn't take too long till it's live.) I did stop playing with my HOTAS setup though, I was getting a lot of keybinding resets and also a very annoying bug where my upwards thrust would max every time I got in a ship until I depressed the pedals. This led to a funny (but not so funny) bug, where I'd get in a ship and instantly throttle full force into the hanger doors above me 🤣

@@faintanomaly that sounds perfect if you’re one of those big spenders who likes flashing their money, reclaiming your ship constantly 😆

It’s gotta be SQ42 nearing completion, i think this next CitizenCon will be the one that gets the ball rolling on star citizen 1.0 pyro and SQ42, the dates line up for all of those things to at least have release dates announced, plus with so much of the team heading over from SQ42 to star citizen, it’s gonna be massive, that’s not even mentioning server meshing and I’m sure there’s outside interest in that too. Many new people were introduced to star citizen, after that extended cut we got at last years citizencon, I saw some big streamers covering the game for a first time, and they all seemed impressed, their viewers as well.

@@faintanomaly Ohhh that makes sense! Can't wait to see how that turns out this October!
