Attacked by players at a HUGE Town on Pyro 1 - Life in Pyro part 4 - Star Citizen Team Gameplay

[@LaurenW7493]

You've come a long since your Elite Dangerous days! Been a subscriber since you were taking down Thargoids in all those crazy builds. Another awesome video! Pyro looks like such a blast and its refreshing to see ya'll get some spontaneous PvP.

[@Citizen_Kate]

hi Lauren :) thank you very much for sticking with the channel all this time - Elite feels like a lifetime ago now haha although i will admit i do miss killing thargoids :D Pyro is a lot of fun and already I wish we could go back!

[@Cat-kq5qg]

​@@Citizen_Kateme sad I watched part 4 but can't find part 5

[@luvit579]

I like the preview channel and it'd be cool to see an early version of persistent hangars and such in there as well.

[@arathornd5613]

These videos give an amazing window into what Star Citizen will be and what a leap in gaming this game truly is. The atmospheric immersion, stepping into some of these buildings that had airlocks to escape the harsh environment actually felt like a relief. The adrenaline rush of taking a round from a distant player and hearing other rounds pass by really makes for some intense hide and seek that ups the level of gameplay. This game keeps delivering amazing experiences, so glad to be a part of it. Great video, once again, Katie. 🎉

Wait until that headhunter shop is working, NPCs roaming and a few faction players shopping when you guys rolled up to assassinate that guy. You'd probably try to keep it stealthy at first but over the course of 4 hours the situation slowly escalates to a full gang war.

[@therealearlgrey]

Another great adventure with the crew. I really enjoyed my little holiday in Pyro. The size and complexity of the outposts there was so cool to see.

[@havocnchaos]

I've been repeating a theory I heard about why Pyro is incomplete, and it makes sense. It's likely that one server alone cannot properly support a full and massive Pyro, and that it is likely designed to require server meshing. So, while it's possible that they just want to hold things back for suspense, it might also be because they simply can not give us all of Pyro at once... Who knows, fun to think about though. Lots of fun in your video as always. Keep em coming!

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

I had the same idea today. What CIG provided in the tech preview of Pyro is about the same size as Stanton and considering the size of the stations and outposts I would almost bet there are MORE assets in Pyro. I can't remember which content creator said that Checkmate station is bigger than the cities in Stanton (ArcCorp excluded, but certainly bigger than Area 18).

[@KriLL325783]

Yeah, those round "Colosseum" style landing pads are very cool, and their underground stuff under the pad, I found those at hostile and "neutral" outposts and those landing pads with a bunch of square tiles in the middle and corner markers like the ones at derelict outposts in Stanton, both claimed to offer services in mobi, but I never got it to work, not sure if it's a bug that they offered or that it didn't work.

[@Citizen_Kate]

we got the one in the video to work :) i'll show it in a video soon - sadly landing services are spotty right now even in live but yes it does work when it wants to haha :D

[@cygnus6623]

Pyro is certainly a jump forward in planet and station detail. Thank you for another great video of Star Citizen! You create adventures that no other content creator does. Much respect! Oh...and love that you all use the Terrapin often. Still my favorite ship.

[@jaknazryth2488]

Such an amazing outpost. You could use this one location for many large scale battles, above, outside, inside, and below ground. Fun exploration and rolling combat. Great shooting with the Railguns!

[@Irritated_Considerably]

Thanks for these adventures in Pyro Kate and crew. I know it's little more than a playable teaser but I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to try (and die in) Pyro. Thanks again :)

[@OneTwoMark]

I hope in future the settlements design reflects the planet conditions. Guys built a regular looking village on a planet thats over 300c.

[@UnderdogSMO]

my bet is the hatches under the outpost are meant for power relays and stuff when resource management comes into the game. as its meant for more then just ships

[@Citizen_Kate]

ah i never thought of that! yes you might be right :)

[@Foxintox]

The outposts look nice , though I think some still need a few « cohesion » passes . Rustville looks like a town you could find on Hurston , not a Venus-like planet . I’d love for them to make the atmosphere denser , closer to Aberdeen (but not ad much) to have some heat-blur effect and for the outposts there to be more like the architecture of Dune : nothing sticking out too much , no crates left outside , no cloth . Just hard concrete and minerals that can survive a 300C heat .

[@Citizen_Kate]

yeah the environment on Pyro 1 makes a lot of the outpost features not really make sense - someone also pointed out that there really shouldnt be open flames in a mostly CO2 atmosphere - i like your ideas about the atmosphere effects and heat shimmer - that would give it a lot of character for sure! :)

[@KriLL325783]

There are open fires on daymar derelict outposts also, it's pretty funny.

[@KriLL325783]

I've argued for a long time a lot of aspects of SC is more "rule of cool" than I'd like, like the outposts in Stanton on moons without a breathable atmosphere, you'd need to suit up and go through 2 airlocks to move between any of the 2 parts of the outpost, really cumbersome and dangerous, would make way more sense for the outposts to be connected together as one structure, and have a hangar or several including at least one for their own ship(s) accessible without being exposed to the deadly outdoors.

[@andyandreson3989]

One settlement can give enough area for whole org battles. Clearing out the buildings with the tunnels will be a nightmare.

[@KriLL325783]

Yeah the settlements in Pyro were pretty brutal performance wise, idk, they look nice, but the massive performance dip doesn't seem reasonable, probably missing a lot of optimization.

[@Citizen_Kate]

performance definitely improved over the run of the preview but yes settlements and the station gallerias were a struggle for my specs - i've decided it must be time to upgrade

[@KriLL325783]

@@Citizen_Kate Yeah my R5 3600 wasn't very happy during a lot of the tech preview, SC seems to be very CPU bound still

[@coyote-1312]

same with ghost hollow too. Love whenever they add a new location, but they've gotta get them running well too

[@cobaliufloof4198]

​@@Citizen_Kate as someone who unironically plays with 16gb ram, some of the footage in this video looks about the same as my standard performance in stanton regardless of performance i'll probably push through and play anyways, even if it's at ~5fps lol

[@Valrokius]

@@cobaliufloof4198 That's pretty badass, I regularly get around 10fps so I have just given up until I can afford to upgrade. Everything else is manageable with some patience but ship to ship combat is especially difficult with low fps.

[@RobinHartJones]

Fantastic video as always. CIG needs to give us a 'microjump' button for times when we get stuck in the scenery. It is not an admission of defeat; many games have one. Just make it need a buildup, like the railgun, so it does not get used to do dodgy evasive moves during combat. I suppose it would need some way to stop you jumping through walls or Hulls just to surprise someone. Talking of which, did that room you found via the tunnel with the static gun turrets make you think of Jump Town type experience where you must hold a building while under siege? 😉

[@Citizen_Kate]

yes some kind of system for getting 'unstuck' would be amazing - it happened a few times to different members of our party during our time in pyro! And i think all of the new 'villages' would make amazing locations for jumptown style events because its the first time i think in SC that you get a sense of that almost urban kind of fighting . Seige of Orison doesnt really capture it - but these settlements in Pyro definitely do :D Also I think a 'wave defense' kind of scenario would work much better than the platform rush that Siege has become - would definitely play that if it ever got introduced :D

[@ianfromspace4740]

14:39 WHAT a SHOT!!!

[@takealready]

Seriously Kate, you're a surgeon with that Railgun, rarely do you miss a shot, regardless of the distance. CIG needs to name a special model of that rail gun after you.

[@RedKing1337]

Now that looked really fun

[@qboid4763]

Kate did you pvp in elite? i lived off the beaten track and never saw other players, i wonder how SC will fair when all locations in pyro are available.

[@Citizen_Kate]

we did a little here and there - it wasn't our main thing but the flight style used in AX translates well to PVP in that game because it requires really good mastery of FA OFF :)

[@Eir_of_Volheim]

Pyro looks so good!

[@DawnstealerGaming]

Betting those crawlspace hatches will have to do with resource management (shutting off power, turning it on, etc). Or at least I hope so.

[@sketchtherapy1218]

Maybe try to set the priority on your recording app from normal to above normal & launch as administrator. In the past this has helped my audio recordings & discord.

[@Citizen_Kate]

I've actually decided its time to upgrade my computer - Pyro seems like it is going to be quite demanding ad so i want to be prepared for it - thank you for the advice on prioritizing the recording software i will give that a go too :)

[@sketchtherapy1218]

@@Citizen_Kate I have a top of the line computer i9 unlocked and 3090ti I still had problems similar to the ones I heard on the video. I'm not complaining just saying keep it in mind and keep up the good work.

[@RobertP-zk8vh]

i found that basement mushroom cave too but it dead ends

[@AnotherVoiceless]

You should do another "Living in my ship" attempt but while in pyro.

[@firstone2917]

Great Footage as always :)

[@Swatmat]

i miss pyro already

[@Citizen_Kate]

Me too swatmat, me too :(

[@Volf1916]

As a backer that is unlikely to deal with Pyro anytime soon. The series is info but not a consern for me. More interested inthe incoming and better development of the mechanics if they are advancing it.

[@Citizen_Kate]

yeah the updates to mechanics and of course server meshing will be a huge improvement to the game for sure - I am excited too :)

[@DomBogey94]

hey what PC specs do you run for this game Kate???

[@Citizen_Kate]

at the moment i am using a Rysen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 - 32GB Ram and an M2 nVME drive. upgrading soon though because it's definitely starting to feel a little underpowered :D

[@Podokodo23]

@@Citizen_Kate A cheap..ish but huge upgrade for you would be a 5800X3D. With a bios update to your MB you could drop in a 5800X3d. I just did it with my X570 motherboard which had a Ryzen 3800X in it. The jump to the 5800X3D was massive for fps and stability without having to spend a ton of extra $$ on a new MB/memory. Sadly I'm still using a 1080ti but now the 5800 does all the heavy lifting.

[@MrWhittebull]

Is there any way for the not greatly experienced player to join your group or discord? I always wanted to play SC like this but can't find big groups. 😃

[@combattaffy5829]

Cool

[@kilamir]

Im hyped. (And I think it’s my third comment saying this lol)

[@Citizen_Kate]

haha well if there's one thing SC can do well it's get people hyped :D

[@EeroafHeurlin]

That glaive murderhobo was just being a dick, shooting landed ships when you have absolutely no intention of landing yourself or tollboothing the location is just sad. It has nothing to do with actual PvP.

[@NotUnymous]

They killed him first tho... Also... It's Pyro.

[@psychotoddler2149]

I’ve found it’s way to easy to get stuck in the architecture

[@johnny_magalhaes]

Primeiro!! 🎉🎉

[@Citizen_Kate]

first comment johnny! well done :)

[@Citizen_Kate]

haha yeah cruz lux in Pyro would fetch a hell of a markup :D

[@TheCorgies]

imagine! doing org v org in here!!! 1 defending 1 attacking. Attacker need to find and take a item and bring back to HQ to win! they need to find it themselves maybe it's hidden in the tunnel! oh boyyyyyy

[@tomastore4381]

pls win 🤞

[@Schimyping]

yeah see i dont like this... If I have to go into a system where everywhere you try to do a mission, there's a trigger happy numb-nuts there to hunt me down and ruin my game play, I'm just not going to play in that system...

[@wkinne1]

Your title seems a little, ok a lot, misleading. It should be " Attacked players at HUGE Town on Pyro 1 " 🤣
