Pyro so far has been breathtakingly beautiful. Thx again LvLcap for the coverage.

[@dtrjones]

Yes the work they put in for Checkmate station is stunning. Can't wait to see Ruin station when it arrives. They've treated these stations as landing zones.

[@RosscoAW]

5:09 Dingy elevator door opening to somebody on the floor zonked out of their mind in just some random hangar they stumbled into is definitely a particular aesthetic vibe. PS: As far as "why would ppl choose to live in those nasty stations instead of on the planets," that's just kind of not how poverty works. Presumably most of the "civilians" living on the ruined stations in Pyro are there not by choice, but circumstance, stuck, and can't afford to leave, and/or have nowhere else to go, and in most cases are "under the protection" of the local gang who probably won't think twice about just shooting in the head any random civilians that try to skirt their protection racket and can't fight back/have no muscle to resist. In those circumstances, joining the gang is really the only viable "exit," besides just accepting your circumstances and living in squalor behind the Seanut stand you sell out of and have to keep an eye on to prevent all your Seanuts from being stolen out of, etc.

[@LordBeef]

For the gangs, there’s probably an element of power projection. Being in space already means you can more easily and cheaply send raids into neighboring systems. Plus, the stations were probably the largest pieces of infrastructure and housing that were abandoned when the mining corporations left. Pirates aren’t often skilled in construction.

[@fletchertaylor5593]

i love that when you leave the station all the little pieces of space junk spark off your ship. such a nice touch.

[@RoxxSerm]

its a nice touch that its not just texture but physicalized objects, but the effect is too much. Will get annoying with time. Reduce in size by the factor 10 and it might be cool.

I played it last night and I must say it’s impressive! It’s almost like when I go to sleep and have a dream about Star citizen but everything is different and I wake up and think how cool was that? Except it’s real. The coronal mass ejections are cool when you get the warning but I found it annoying, too long and can barely see anything. The amount of missions floored me there’s tons! First impression was Pyro feels bigger than Stanton in an almost overwhelming sense, just seems like there’s so much there. When ‘I first logged in at the station, I got shot immediately outside my apartment. That was a wake up call! Everything seems more dangerous and interesting.

Very cool to see Star Citizens devs had a similar space pirate ascetic as the Starfield devs. I was just thinking it was a bit of a bummer we got a pretty minimal space pirate home base/system in Starfield. Also those environmental hazard effects are impressive.

[@Mike-zx7lq]

It's not true that Bloom is the only planet with a breathable atmosphere, however it's the only somewhat-easily habitable one. Two other planets are technically breathable -- one for a quite short period before serious health issues occur, and one longer (but quite uncomfortable), according to updated Galactapedia.

[@gsamalot]

" An even the sun tries too kill you." Ah yes that is some spicy stanning going on there

[@CodeBlue18]

They did a stunning job on Pyro but I'm less trilled about the way they decided to portray the outlaws. The space stations are basically garbage dumps and people there live in squalor. Also there should be some protection provided by the ruling faction in each location, at least near space stations. I wish they would have taken inspiration from the OPA (The Expanse) rather than Mad Max.

[@ameritoast5174]

That is exactly what they are doing.

[@breadbeard6722]

The only aliens you will probably fight are the Vanduul, and there is no way they add them to the PU before they release Squadron 42. The only other hostile aliens have almost no info released about them, they could become a new enemy for the PU after the Vanduul are defeated or something like that

[@M3SA-gaming]

10:24 was the worst part about it for me, I had that low level lag when approaching/leaving the ground as well. Also, I was getting something like 4-5 FPS at most of the large stations on planet. But otherwise an amazing experience.

[@Davelantor]

Hi, software dev here ... While I would love to see pyro soon, I think a single server will not be able to handle running 2 systems at the same time, they will need to bring the server meshing to atleast divide the systems to two different servers in the least, ofc if they can do the ultimate goal of server meshing it would be mind blowing.

[@RedHornSSS]

I'm genuinely very okay with a temporary loading screen solution

[@Illuminati_HD]

Why would you need server meshing for that? As I understand it, server meshing gives players interactability between 2 instances, but a jumppoint doesnt require that. It can easily be used to hide a loading screen

[@sonic-bb]

The open fire in space stations is actually a well-thought-out security precaution: Once the fire's out, all the oxygen's gone, and you should be too at this point!

[@fnd323]

At the moment all hangar doors look the same to me. I hope different stations will have different docks. Like we have 4 major station building corps and 4 variants of docks. This particular Ruin station was build by Gold Horizon, but at Area 18 we have the same hangar doors.

[@Laptop46]

What I’m thinking is that the CMEs will be most common on planets with big loot. So you’re taking a risk but at the same time the reward is huge.

[@KerboOnYT]

Looks great. Thanks for the overview

[@Odeezee]

the complaint about CMEs seems a little strange, imo. Pyro is dangerous and if things like the environment is dangerous or annoying as you say, you can always choose to do content in-doors or remain in Stanton. CMEs offer emergent gameplay opportunities (players getting downed, players crashing, players needing repairs, etc) and require that players plan ahead and account for the hostilities of the environment, as well as other players and i, for one, welcome it and more. if CIG were to change CMEs to anything, i would hope that if they make them less frequent say once an hour or so, that they make them 3 times as dangerous, make them down players from full health without being inside buildings or having radiation suits on, drastically increase the damage to ships and force players to re-route all power and batteries to engines in the hopes of starting them up again before crashing, due to the damage taken during the CME's EMP and maybe even starting fires if players have any power on in the ships when the CMEs strike.

[@AntonMaslo]

Thanks for the overview, looks awesome! Do you know if they plan a (not sure what to call it) PvE-only kind of server in the future? I love how SC looks, and think I would greatly enjoy exploring this world, but I'm put off by the possibility of some bored player exploding me for questionable fun while I take a p-break and/or for not buying the biggest/baddest ship with real money. I'm not good at combat and don't plan to be. Solo mode in E:D comes to mind, obviously.

[@Coryosa]

SC is a universe simulator, it comes with most of the dangers that said universe entails. It's all part of the sim.

[@thepizzaman2013]

It may not be a thing, PvE-only server. The game wasn't meant for PvE only, sometimes they wanna add a little more danger into the mix. Also, it's not really that hard to avoid the PvPers altogether, but I see what you mean.

[@yous2244]

In my months of playing I never had any pvp without looking for it and never was pirated. So it's not really something to worry about that much.

[@AntonMaslo]

@@thepizzaman2013 thanks, that's mildly encouraging. I understand that the current state of the game is nothing like what's it's supposed to look in the finished state (nor are the player attitudes), so I wonder what they are aiming for - a full-loot gangbox (avoid avoid avoid), or something better thought out. I guess we'll see, but your answer gives some hope.

[@Cornerboy73]

Pyro is impressive although the stations are really gross LOL. Like, I'm fine with the whole Star Wars-esque "Used Future" thing, but the stations are like living in a 3rd world garbage dump. They perfectly captured that vibe but if it's not your thing, you're going to want to spawn and get out of there ASAP. Lots of missions on them are cool, but yuck, I hate just being there - plus they are huge and confusing to navigate; I can't see myself spending a lot of time on them. Planets are really nice though and yeah the solar flare or whatever gets old fast, I'd like to see the frequency of them dialed back a bit.
