Star Citizen: Meet the Consolidated Outland Pioneer

[@AW-kv8yx]

There is no word to describe the feelings I get when watching this video. Not only is it my favorite game but the speech and topic is more than just a game. It's a dream. A dream for humanity. From the pale blue dot to the wide galaxy.

[@hampdamp8234]

why is this so far down m8

[@Memeguppy]

Favorite game its not even out yet???

[@acedbit4786]

lol, wrong, it is out and despite being out in parts ''only'' its still a game in what it has to offer right now. Nothing wrong to look forward to future builds as well :) A game is a way of activity engaged in for diversion or amusement, and it is amusing and diversion despite not being the final deal just yet.

[@AW-kv8yx]

Even more when a game allows you to live a friction of your dream together with your friends.

[@Vlusion]

I feel you and agree.

[@JamesTobiasStewart]

I love how this is like a real press event.

[@Sashalexandros]

space Steve Jobs confirmed :D

[@Admiral_Grufus]

I love this commercial, not only does it describe the pioneer perfectly, it describes Star Citizen as a whole perfectly

[@lostree1981]

Selling a jpeg from 5 years ago that's still not in the game, yep describes Star Citizen perfectly alright.

[@fns58]

Finally a "commercial" like in the old times. Well done guys.

[@brewmagoo589]

Yes, I feel the same way. I hope this marks a return to regular ship commercials for not just concept ships, but for existing ships that are becoming flight ready and those that have been substantially reworked.

[@Schoolship.]

i want to play by just sitting there next to an off duty npc and watch space tv on a couch in my 890. and I hope there's plenty of commercials. is that weird?

[@KuraIthys]

Yeah, I have that same feeling. I 'only' have a 600i... But there's so much stuff in the back of that, if only it worked... Watching TV is one of the options, for sure. XD Oddly, the Captain's cabin doesn't appear to have anything akin to a TV itself... Also, only 2 chairs for the TV in the back feels a little off. (but then the 600i is full of a bunch of little issues) Especially since I have the touring variant which, arguably could have a crew complement of as much as 14, yet only 2 seats for the TV? XD

[@qrfss]

wait... did they just announce a new gameplay mechanic with an in game keynote presentation? awesome!

[@shanus11]

Graham Bunce I think this is the game changer Ben has mentioned. Never expected this mechanic, wow it's gonna be amazing

[@R0ndras]

They already announced the mechanic before but it's the first time they present how you will do it. And that's with the ship. The Pioneer it's not just a big transportation ship for the outpost materials but also it's like a fabric, it has robots that will build everything you need for your outposts.

[@patrickmbahi5177]

That's meta

[@apexalaska]

That's the way a real simulation world works, if it's shoved into the game without any in game background it becomes unrealistic.

[@Buk86]

we still dont have any gameplay, only t0 mining.

[@R0ndras]

Even if you hate the real money for ships or you don't care about the ships at all, this is just epic. This is how you create lore and make everything have a connection to the game and not just be some random asset.

[@Broccoli_32]

Bojan Babic you release when 3.1 comes out all ships will be available with in game currency you don’t need to spend more then $45

[@Madrigos]

+Avocado That's the thing that's been grinding my gears for... God, it's years now, isn't it? Mouth breathers and the gaming media ragging on the paid ships. It has always been clearly and repeatedly stated that you buy them if you wish to support the game and its development. It's been made clear from the beginning that all the ships will be available with in-game currency and you wouldn't even be able to buy them with real money.

[@dasfritzchen9059]

you can fly them in 3.1 but you dont OWN them dont tell lies boy...

[@Broccoli_32]

DasFritzchen no you own them but ok

[@R0ndras]

You buy the ships ingame(when they allow that), you also own ships if you steal them and make some ingame paperwork. Buying ships only gives them more money to dev. and you get some insurance,hangar,etc

[@johnnystlou]

Incredibly inspirational. For a game to attain such realism; to provoke emotional response is fascinating. I find myself fortunate to be counted among those sharing in the Star Citizen journey!

Consolidated Outland has so good speekers and commercials,this speech actualy is a inspiration for my presentations,the way hes talking and using words...just perfect

[@collonellbenered8088]

That feeling when he said: "let the new age of colonisation begin!"

[@Intellect1618]

Dumb Comment sometimes they're necessary. It just depends on what you consider a lesser lifeform or culture worth saving. Would you eliminate bacteria to settle a planet?

[@SubduedRadical]

@Chalk I think it's more accurate to say the UEE doesn't allow terraforming of planets with indigenous life, soas not to alter their evolutionary path. This isn't QUITE the same thing as not allowing colonization, however.

[@ct-hv1uz]

Dumb Comment there are more than enough non life bearing planets for our needs thanks to the extended jump range. since every raw material is "closer" and "easier" we need not exploit animal life anywhere

[@Fiasco3]

Straight from the Mustang series to the Pioneer, that's quick learning right there

[@infinityrays]

Deeply touching, people will look at this video in our future when they are amongst the Stars.

[@warchiwawa]

They will probably look at it with amusement at how strange our ambitions were, pretty much like we look at what 80s people had in mind for the future and laugh at the weird ideologies. We even begun laughing at 90s too.

I wish every cut scene in the game had this much focus and intensity. I think they tapped into some amazing acting without realizing it lol. I hope that they realize it.

The historic footage of the zuse is insane everytime

[@JohnSmith-tx1mz]

As a proud backer of this game if anything I hope Star Citizen inspires it's players to contribute their imagination and drive to help humans reach the stars in real life.

Keep up the good work CIG, I somehow feel this pres conference is in many ways how you've tackled your place on the gaming community. You guys and gals are the best, keep up the stellar work 🤠🤠 o7

[@SGentFinn]

Really well done commercial. I'm impressed. Please do more of these.

[@WabbitCrouton]

Oh man, the sound design of this commercial is done really well! Notice the audio changes when the camera feeds changes from broad to close-up.

[@PerfectCode]

Would be cool to have future events/reveals done like inside the game for players to view in those seats or "broadcast" on an in-game screen.

[@triplea007]

The writers and visual artists working on these presentations should design the real life citizencons. This was outstanding.

[@RedJay]

Coming back to this years later still brings thoughts of adventure and wonder to my mind. CIG cannot wait to see how Outposts in general turn out the Pioneer (and hopefully other size of part constructors) turn out. Fly safe everyone!

[@underakillingmoon]

The speech is amazing. I am very impressed by the quality of the writing which is brilliantly tell by the actor. Please can someone give me his name ?

[@TheGhettoGinger]

"Whenever innovation has put technology in the hands of the people, it's heralded sweeping discoveries. Because power in the hands of many will always exceed the power of few" Man, I hope we retain that mentality in our future. That's just a good line in general and it's something you would want to hear from a CEO of a major tech/space company with a product to back up the statement.

[@arenomusic]

Very interesting that he pointed out Bremen first, cool lore detail!!!

[@jeremyloldrup7997]

there are so many smart comments and I'm just here sitting and thinking that the crowd just cheer and stood up before they could give the thing a glance

[@imadethiscomment5663]

Einstein is a magnet for falsely attributed quotes. The earliest known use of this phrase was published by Francis Phillip Wernig. However, we've seen how warped 'history' can become in several decades, so imagine how warped it could become in several centuries. Thus, this error fits into lore, IMO xD.

[@janus3555]

I learn to ignore it when rewatching this video.

[@spudbencer7179]

But Francis Phillip Wernig is known by none. And surely, he wasn't the first one either who came to this conclusion.

[@CitizenTech]

From Argentina, Tank you for the amazing creation!!!! Every day we trust more of you. The only criticism is that there are no instances in South America to avoid having to play with such a high ping, but we understand that it is still in alpha and we trust that there will be instances in the future.

[@peterpayne2720]

That was an amazing ship reveal.

[@finntully7199]

That speech definitely had a hint of "Pale Blue Dot" in there. Great job Consolidated, and great job Star Citizen!

[@Hallreaver]

When Star Citizen is complete, i would love to see these presentations ingame when they come up with new stuff that they put into the game :D

[@dylangraham5033]

Just wanted to say that you can hear the mustang commercial on speakers somewhere in port olisar. Not sure if it was a bug or something though because it was at the very end when I found it. If they could get it onto a tv screen in game though that would be really cool.

[@Odeezee]

Hallreaver that is the plan, they already have the older space shipmercials playing in-game and will have more in the future

[@SabbaticusRex]

This should also be in the Ship Commercials playlist, or an ad based on this.

[@TruthIsKey369]

Awesome commercial and take it for what it is, and graphics wise it looks like something they put together on short notice EXCEPT the script that the actor followed is just THAT GOOD!

[@warchiwawa]

That makes me hope there will be an actual in-game event, should there be a ship announced after release (or within alpha or beta, if they have the time). That would be sooo awesome!
