No matter how good the game is in the end, promises were still broken, just by not upholding the release date (or at least not with a finished, working and polished product). Also instances.... no running into an acquantaince in the wild by chance, no one universe lol

[@MapperTV]

To everyone asking why this (and the other video with the first part of the demo) was reuploaded: the first video was just the result of a livestream with low quality and very low audio. In addition, it had like 30 min of nothing at start. Now we have 1080p60, better audio with even some adjustments like the new music during the jump point and more interesting views that weren't visible on the livestream but only on the large screen was had in the convention center (what an incredible screen btw). For example you can now see the Pyro system in the starmap or more views from the Carrack cockpit during the jump.

[@senchashogun4675]

@@superepicgaming3535 The bigger problem was that Icache simply wasn't fast and scaleable enough for what they wanted to do and also the way they wanted to do server Meshing wasn't going to work becouse they had trouble with server Synchronisation, so they needed a lot of time to reinvent things to work better, thats the reason i cache is now the Entity graph and persistent Streaming and Server Meshing is going to use a replication layer. The only reason they could take the time to reinvent things that were not going to work is that there is no publisher behing CIG pressing a certain release date which allows for a lot of innovation but is slowing down the progress and is not the first time CIG is doing that looking at Planet Tech, ressource Management etc. lets see if the progress will speed up over the next year when they got the core techs of PES, Server Meshing and Vulkan support in the game. If we get Pyro at this point next year i will be fine with all the delays.

[@GhostStealth590]

I’m excited to see the role NPC’s play in the universe, especially when you log off. If it’s like Rust, it won’t be good at all. Cause when you log off in rust. Your body, base, and resources are all at risk. And the autoturrets are ineffective and can be cheated easily. So hopefully they’ll implement NPC’s effectively.

[@pegasusted2504]

Everything will be at risk that you leave in the verse. As ong as none else is around within detection range your vehicle/ship logs out with you. However any properties you have ie outpost via the Pioneer etc will be in the verse and open to attack or capture. That is why you will have auto defenses like turrets and also have things like periodical checks by mercenaries that you may have hired, whether that is a player mercenary org or an npc org will depend on your choice. Unfortunately though the mercs won't just be able to stay there all the time, unless you hire them to do that, and as such your stuff will still have the potential for danger, just like in the real world. that is why there are bounty hunters etc. You getting to keep your stuff will depend on consideration, whether or not the "enemy" brings the right gear/vehicles to be able to overcome any defenses you have. Don't forget though that Spectrum is a bridge between the real and the verse so you could be at work irl and get a message from your base defenses letting you know that you are under attack. :~)

[@GhostStealth590]

@@pegasusted2504 Without a doubt. I'm just kinda hoping that the defenses for leaving offline aren't as big of potatoes as Rust lol. I get what ya mean though. If they bring the right type of stuff and win, it's fair game. But that is if the defenses aren't stupidly easy to exploit and ofc run out of ammo, never to be replenished till I come back online. One of the main reasons why I couldn't do Rust anymore was due to the ladders and lack of base defense once offline. (when ladders were introduced, it broke the game for me).

Rust takes a lot of grinding to raid a base i wouldnt call it easy

Have to wonder.. How is CIG going to keep people from camping jump points and literally controlling an entire sector? I.e. like in Eve Online, large orgs will pretty much rule in areas not patrolled.. Which means many backers will lose access to a lot of sectors because of that... I hope CIG has some kind of plan because I thought originally, the idea was you would not exit jump points in the same spot thus it would be impossible to blockade one...

[@CrystalCatchaUK]

Law enforcement? When full ai is implemented. Also don't forget there are player made orgs for system/citizen defence too.

[@Malakie]

@@CrystalCatchaUK As I specifically said, in systems where there is no law. And my org is a Navy org but I have no intention of stationing ships in an outer sector just so other players can get through.. Where a pirate org will setup bases etc out there, any 'good' org would just be harassed constantly in a perpetual war.. And since the UEE does not patrol there, my worry is those pirate orgs will be able to pretty much pull an 'eve' and take literal control of space allowing no one through.. Wormhole bottlenecks prove that point in eve online and is a reason many players just gave up with that game.

[@CrystalCatchaUK]

@@Malakie Malakie Usn well we will have to hope that there are stronger and more dedicated citizen defence orgs than yours then, I suppose. Because I know if my org was dedicated to protecting people and semi-serving the UEE, the opportunity to push back pirate orgs and protect the jump point, I would go and do it.

[@Malakie]
