[@gravy9280]

@boredgameruk you might want to update the discord link, it comes up invalid (probably expired)

[@MarcusKincaid_]

Would love for the exterior paints to also alter the interior

[@mattp1337]

I suspect they're going to keep those things separate, but it would be nice to be able to recolor our interiors.

[@BadWolfOne]

Brand New news just today that in 4.0 doing an insurance claim will NOT restock your ship missiles.

[@andrewboyer7544]

No more reloading size 10s with a claim.

[@sanctred]

Torps and Missiles are not worth using anyway. This just makes them even more useless.

[@wrextheblind3787]

For the safe Stanton event I feel like I am hard stuck on phase 4 because every time I go to an outpost to grab the cargo, the elevators are either not working or the elevator say that something is blocked even though it is empty, I have not seen a fix for this yet, butI only need two more completions and then I’m done

[@wrextheblind3787]

So I just heard the bit about the sandworm and that is interesting because that implies either they are going to make some sort of tracking or targeting system for ships that allow you to target things other than vehicles and turrets. Or a sort of crosshair for your ship that will compensate for wherever the ship is facing, and where the target is basically like a lag tip or lead tip😊

[@NegativeProcess]

which is implies itll be a working game, because why punish players for their incompetence? But we all know cig 😂

[@sagamer3594]

It's good to see they've started to bring interior customization into the game. Wonder how big a job it will be to retrospectively do that for older ships though?

[@AsuraDandy]

much bigger since alot of them don't have the gold standard yet.

[@The_Fallen_1]

It's nice to hear more interior customisation is on the way!

[@jasonfabrick9308]

I did not expect to get that ability. At least not as placing the way we do decorating hangars.

[@ENTIAComics]

The only one thing I can say about 4.0 by the end of the year - "I want to believe!"

[@Storm-Shard]

I hope they bring in more permanent additions to your ship like work benches armor racks etc like they showed in the past. I think that level of customization would make the ships feel so at home

[@UltraVBluerayman]

I could see them putting the sandworm into Arena Commander for testing.

[@deubie0211]

Now that would be cool👍

[@ILikeEiche]

I still can not believe that they added a freakin sandworm to this game. That was not on my bingo card when I first discovered this game.

[@jagzorz]

They haven't yet. They teased it... like they did 100 star systems (no only 10). LIke they did with Pyro YEARS ago (still not implemented). LIke they did with engineering for 4.0 (pushed back). Like they did with, well you'll get the point one day.

[@valkyrie1689]

Haha you have to pull the bingo cards from all potential scifi crossovers!! Besides it's not like the worms make QT fuel.😅 Right...

[@moebeans72]

@@jagzorz You want POI based planets instead of our current system? Go play starfield.

[@Cmdr_V]

​@valkyrie1689 that's what the space whales are for ;)

[@griffinmckenzie7203]

You must be new...

[@justalex4214]

First week of december is pretty much over and we're still in wave 1, there's no way it'll make it to live... unless CIG is pushing it out even if it's not ready

[@vital-wyn1310]

I don’t disagree, the one possibility is that our current patch was built on 4.0 so between the live and ptu they’ve been actively working on all of this. So I’ll just say unlikely but not impossible.

[@TrueKingOmega]

@@vital-wyn1310 I joked about them doing "shadow patches" to the LIVE servers. Imagine if it was true

[@tazb5307]

Server meshing is coming along and getting better every week.

[@NotUnymous]

Thats nice to hear. How far away is it from beeing enjoyable for the average gamer, what do you think?

[@rorymcgregor625]

I guess it depends on the gamer. I have been having a lot of fun doing multi crew in my friends Polaris. The FPS missions seem to be working really well now. There seems to be actual fun game loops for different career paths now.

[@jbirdmax]

I agree NPCs seem to be a bit too accurate at range in FPS combat. Nice to see some preliminary balance in this area.

[@biznu07]

Nice to see some in-ship customizations coming through, definitely going to incentivize that higher tier of insurance once it's released.

[@MadRhetoric1701]

Love the idea of more ship interior customization. Once ships are more persistent and don't have to be claimed all the time, that is going to be awesome

[@Storm-Cleaver]

Cool that the Intrepid lets you hang posters, but I'm pretty sure that any ship will have decorations persist when being stored. But if they've changed something behind the scenes with an eye towards Tier 3 insurance, I'm all for it.

[@Senecal]

Yesterday I spent about 5 hours in EPTU with only a few bugs, one being I couldn't accept any missions, another was the elevator opened to just open space when trying to get to the galleria at Stanton gateway station, and I fell through the planet on Monox when walking around. Other than that it ran very smoothly. Oh and there was a server error for a few minutes but it resolved itself. It was also a full server according to what someone had mentioned in global chat. But with how smoothly it ran it gives me hope that 4.0 will indeed be released by the end of the month. I love the intrepid also. Definitely one of the cooler starter ships in my opinion, and love the idea of decorating the interior of ships. Can't wait to see what new armors and weapons come out. I hope we can eventually dual wield certain things like pistols, knives, even flares and have a rave or something. Also clothing options with a hood up/down setting would be cool. Or even a helmet like the mandalorians have where you lower that scouter thing and that can't bring up more info on the HUD, idk I'm just spitballin ideas at this point. Love the channel and updates you bring to the table my man!

[@mikehendrix4977]

I hope 4.0 comes before the end of the year. They just need to make sure it is playable, if not I don't mind waiting a bit longer.

[@Relinquolamia]

4.0 is going to be a real turning point for the game. The ability to jump between star systems and have the game continue to run smoothly will give an indication to what 1.0 will be. Excited!!!

[@cadorl]

Playing the save Stanton missions is truly an exercise in patience. I had a pretty good round today and finished phase three but its not usually like that. between the time it takes to get ready, coordinate with teammates, and work around the sometimes game breaking bugs it can take literal hours just to get on round of on phase done. It is fun at times but more often than not its a buggy grind. I hope this improves over time though.

[@skylark159]

Thanks for this coverage. I have played a but of the 4.0 tests but I learned more about what us going on from you guys. Thanks!

[@johndrellwolf]

The graffiti paint looks awesome. Sure makes Drake ships look like the type of ships they should be. Thank you Bored for the update. You are awesome.

[@lord17c]

some interesting updates. I'm looking forward to 4.0 now to remember what ships can actually go through the jump point.

[@MirageDU]

Sandworms would be cool, but yeah there is much to discover when 4.0 drops. But I guess that's more a thing for the people doing the early PTU Waves. The rest of us can decide when to test out wich part of the game in the PU. And if someone tests sandworms like two patches later, he won't be missing out on something. He would probably even get a better experience as most bugs will be sorted out.

[@bobgrog5798]

Thanks again for a great update. I'm still kind of concerned by how it feels like we are going to be micromanaging our characters and ships to a point that it might take away from the fun of playing SC. I've been a player/investor for the past eleven twelve years, and one thing that has always bothered me is how long it takes to get ready after you spawn into the game, whether its after an update, or after dying. takes about 20 minutes to get your gear all on, then travel to locations to get med pens, and then to locations to retrieves ammo and cargo gear, as well as other locations for nourishment to take along on the trip. All this before you even go to the hangar. And CIG is talking about adding other things to do in the future that are done in real life, like hygiene, maybe even shaving, etc. lol I don't know. In the future, I can see it taking as long as 45 minutes to reach the first mission we sign up for in mobiglass. Just my two cents for December.

[@Vandreal_Wolf]

I will give CIG this, the AI in FPS is definitely better. But, the collision of fired rounds on surfaces needs help. Example: the pillars in bunkers near the elevator block shots even when ADS and you are clearly not close to aiming at the pillar. But, this most likely comes back to server response and de-sync/lag. IF the worm fight is coming, the server responsiveness really needs help first.

[@M3talhound]

Makes sense as to why we have gotten posters for ships for BIS last couple of years. Cannot wait until you can decorate an MSR or Corsair!

[@rlabare823]

Loving my purple reclaimer... And the bonus was I forgot about the Name reservation. The "Ms. Cali-Asbjorn" has set out into The Verse.

[@yozzerhughes1623]

It's reassuring to hear that there is forward movement on some big ticket items 😊

[@T3hBr0k3nM0nk3y]

The moar customization, the better! Great stuff, Bored! 😉👍

[@Tribal9499]

Buddy and I completed chapter 1 last night . It was a test of patience with bugs-a-plenty but we now have the repeaters.

[@reckxner]

Can't wait for Pyro. Im a huge fan of the rundown aesthetic.

[@kevincase8703]

Glad I picked up one

[@BOSSPlaysMinecraft]

I love the little customization there working on

[@gravy9280]

The max is really slow from the loaner I had, but I think I could get behind using it for a Daily driver... The garage will fit a fury and nursa together.

[@RakasansLegacy]

Nice touch with the interior decor.

[@snaggletoof1927]

Glad to hear CIG is working on eliminating the bugs in 4.0 EPTU. The last thing we need is for them to push another major patch before it's stable over the winter break. Cause they've never done that before...

[@angeltwistmc9587]

I saw the advance hud it was really cool and useful for me as a casual player and doing cargo hauling

[@Sangvinivs]

I just have an Intrepid 🎉 nice to have. Thanks Bored for let us know!

[@blake9523]

Have completed the 4 phases. The hauling phase was difficult until I found an easy way to do it and completed it within an hour. Excited for 4.0!

[@SirGhost251]

I finished Save Stanton part 1. Looking forward to the next bit.

[@TrueKingOmega]

I'm not Wave 1, but reading the comments in the "testing chat" there are far too many bugs, especially with elevators, to have them push it to LIVE before the end of the year. There was talk about Transit Rework being done for 4.0 yet, there have been no mentions of it from the dev team. And since elevators are vital to movement, especially in stations, if that is not fixed before 4.0 release people may get too frustrated (some people already are). I'm not going to hold my breath on them releasing it.

[@robw3797]

Thanks for the coverage!

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

Nice! I only have Phase 4 left to do. My buddy has completed phase 2, but still has 1 mission of phase 1 to do and he has two more of phase 3 then all of phase 4. I'm helping him get through them.

[@karradvall9779]

Should be an interesting month! Knowing CIG patch 4.0 will drop before year end. It might not make sense to some, but once the community as a whole plays it that will uncover lots of bugs, which is the whole point of the alpha stage. It'll suck but they'll patch over and over and we'll get through it.

[@johnmorrow5461]

Early likes help boost the channel.

[@BoredGamerUK]

love love

[@Jamesflco]

Valakar testing would be fun but waiting to release would also be a good call

[@TheWartimeCEO]

Really like the jump point rework and animation, the music is awesome too.

[@grumbles42]

Yay for easier customization of ship interiors. Having ships look like something lived in is just a nice visual improvement from one person's ship to the next.

[@wonkeydonkey2407]

Great to see the pyro builds coming thick and fast, I would be stoked if they can get it out by xmas (and working).

[@NateMcQuade]

Despite the bugs, I enjoyed all 4 phases of Save Stanton. It was a good variety of missions. Just wished the stability was good enough to have handled it a little better, but hey, normal SC stuff really.

[@EonDresari]

I seriously can not believe how amazing the fauna looks.

[@enigmus998]

Looking forward to Pyro. Hopefully server meshing will help stability, but the real key will be the dynamic meshing. Here's hoping for some performance improvements.

[@vicsid9606]

I enjoyed the Save Stanton missions and think that it was a step in the right direction.

[@Armabelico]

Looks very good! Can't wait to the next waves to open! :D This new theme on Pyro will give "not so fresh" air (cause it's from Pyro) to the verse.

[@kombo074]

Cool how more customization is coming to the ships. Looking forward to it

[@guitaristtom]

4.0 is looking so pretty! I can't wait for engineering and stuff. It'll make the game more tedious, but also more fun.

[@wisewolf9353]

Seeing the sandworm in early 4.X would definitely hype lots of people up who are craving content.

[@jhruio]

Waiting for liberator, would make nicely for a party boat for a squad of ships or long duration vulture group.

[@woraphons8845]

I sure hope the part 2 of this event is not as bugged as the first one we got now.

[@SmushAG]

Interior customisation looks really cool

[@svingbold]

The customization to Enterior sounds interesting.

[@doogbattlesmoke]

I'm glad to see interior customization. It's been a long time coming beside the 300 series.

[@cmdr_thrudd]

Keen to see how the next week goes with EPTU, fingers crossed the next couple of patches are good.

[@talonsrant6131]

Nice to hear about he interior customization.

[@Odmvoyager]

Awesome breakdown of the update,can’t wait for 4.0

[@jasonwalls1607]

So excited for Pyro! I know a lot of people are upset about 4.0 loosing so many features, but honestly Pyro is what I am here for and I think they will try to put it out by the end of the year.

[@batonemo6096]

Loving the new jump mini game. It's very atmospheric

[@koruzarius8071]

I don't think we'll see the Valakar until crafting is done or near done. They've said they want to limit the wipes, so they need to have the balance sorted on the crafting materials you'll get before we can start collecting them.

[@Inzhane]

Thanks for the update BoredGamer

[@CptFugu]

Having a working marker will make dying at least a little bit less annoying. This needs some sort of rework though. Sometimes getting back to your body is just impossible.

[@mikegilkey]

Hope to see them keeping things getting better and better

[@CMDR_MURR]

I know plenty have done it by now, but Im still very much looking forward to making my first jump

[@jonny_vdv]

I like that CIG are looking at customization again

[@ManZer0]

The Worm Mission looks like fun. I cant wait to try to figure out how to do it solo

[@Falenir]

Seasons greetings and thanks for the updates!

[@edwardcourtright6323]

I'm interested in seeing NPC interactions, once animals are added. Going to do a bunker mission and come across Nine-tails on patrol around the base, fighting a pack of Kopian. Would be cool.

[@rorymcgregor625]

I am very excited to try out Pyro. It would be cool to fly around with friends in a new Starlancer! 😉

[@shadow910977]

wheew, short episode today! thanks for the update!

[@TheAlexvm007]

god the armors for pyro do look amazing, i have been abstaining from going into the ptu in hopes of getting a more stable experience. cant wait to deck out my ship properly finally though, customization is something that i so gravely miss, a way to make my zeus really feel lived in and mine

[@orsonsaviour]

I was considering upgrading my Aurora to an Intrepid, but I might just wait for a concept sale with LTI.

[@kungfuhiker8793]

Love the ablitiy to put item in ship and it be saved! Time to put some home stuff in my Intrepid!

[@trekie82]

4.0 seems to be coming along nicely. Really want to see those sandworms in the near future

[@dspartridge84]

Be nice if they could start saving our character spawn and item locations between patches.

[@emessar]

Looking forward to 4.0. Such a milestone for the game.

[@kacpi1600]

Thanks a lot for the update! And the opportunity to win that crazy new ship :)

[@Skylance19]

Still need to wrap up my Save Stanton missions but excited to have Pyro hopefully before end of year

[@TheSpatzmann]

All the shiny new ships, skins, S5-quad-turret, S10 torpedos ...therefore I added the Drake Herald to my fleet. 🤣

[@TheGaryinWales]

whoop.. hope these customisations come to other ships fast. im actually loving my 325a at the moment. great as a daily mission and general transport ship. the customisations make it feel 'mine'.

[@mossellop]

I‘m hoping they also add some way to change the color scheme of the ship interiors

[@thespacemonkey1000]

This weekend I’m going to try and finish phase 4. Fingers crossed

[@tullan1652]

Glad to see 4.0 is becoming real. I'm even more interested in seeing if they can truly pick up the pace on gameplay, career iterations and more systems now that most of the heavy tech is nearing an end.

[@NotUnymous]

Yeah, thats the real question! They could have done so even before their servermashing implementation btw, they just didnt. But I guess the dropping income will bring them to reason in that regard 😅

[@HollowlegJake]

I'm excited to play again when elevators, spawning, and walls are all fixed :D I'm excited for 4.0 but guessing it won't be released before year end or at least released as a mess in December. Very interesting seeing the development cycle over the past years.

[@ChrisShootingPD]

Great content as usual. You're my go to source. VIVA LA BOREDGAMER FOREVER!

[@imonedesign]

I actually think 4.0 should go live before the end of the year, it can be still full of bugs but that’s ok since the PU is already a testing phase anyway.

[@Kakeyoro]

hello o7

[@TheInquisitor7]

interior updates would be pretty sick

[@bbraonain]

Thank you for the news.

[@RespiteofChampions]

2:35 I KNOW they want it to happen by EOY, but when they introduce 4.0 to all backers in the PTU, it WILL introduce a WHOLE NEW SWATHE of bugs that need to be fixed. I say 4.0 goes live early next year.

[@Jtstien]

If we’re being honest, do you think we’re another decade away from getting the actual detail we want to this game or will crafting, base building, etc be ready when squadron 42 releases,

[@RespiteofChampions]

@@Jtstien I'm 100% certain all those features will be ready for the 1.0 release, if not, then 1.0 will drop alongside SQ42.
