[@JamesTobiasStewart]

I love how this is like a real press event.

[@Sashalexandros]

space Steve Jobs confirmed :D

[@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.

[@Admiral_Grufus]

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

[@gavinpowell4607]

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

[@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.

[@GetBuk86]

we still dont have any gameplay, only t0 mining.

[@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

[@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!

[@germ_b_good915]

Can't wait to explore with everyone. I just want to run a simple shop and mind my own.

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

Dude. Yeah like have that guy do a speech. And then you walk out you be like "Let's go explore the universe."

[@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.

[@mtutoriales]

@@warchiwawa Technology is slowing down, it is technically easy to predict what is going to come next.

I just clapped along with the video.

I can see the potential for confusion.

[@uh302]

The amount of effort that goes into just making little videos like this is just staggering. And to know that all that hard work is also being put into the game itself is absolutely breathtaking. Keep up the good work, guys!

[@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.

It's been 3 years, lets get tier 0 base building going already! My pioneers are dusty!

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.

[@alexzuelke5209]

coming back here after citizencon 2023 has me so hyped!

[@th3orist]

thats how they make their money. 7 yrs ago almost people parted with hundreds and hundreds for this ship and its nowhere to be seen as of april 2024, its not even in a reconcepting phase.

[@davidswitt1988]

I really hope that Consolidated Outland keeps going, it's by far and always have been my favorite ship company. I love the entire vibe. 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

[@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.

[@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!

[@AhmedShariffGplus]

now this, is beautiful why cant all of SC videos be made this good....

[@cosmocatmusic]

THIS IS SO FREAKIN AMAZING :D i thought its in real life since it zoomed on him nice job (y)

[@CrimsonEsso]

That hillbilly twang tho. I was half expecting him to add "moonshine operation" as one of the possible uses of this ship.

[@smoketinytom]

.... May or may no be an operation most of my Creds stem from.

[@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.

[@TheBlocMaster]

the writing in these short, ship "trailers" really get me exited to get my hands on the story of Squadron 42

[@triplea007]

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

[@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.

"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.
