3:03 Server meshing isnt coming this year. At this point, we should be testing server meshing weekly, not once per patch. They should be driving players to testing it(and reward them with auec or something). Before 4.0 lands, they will need waaay more data. And its this very reason that makes me believe server meshing/4.0 is only coming next year

[@BlackSilence001]

At this point I don't even think it's possible. The lag would be massive with the quantities of data being transferred.

[@brendonvineyard8620]

I have no doubt its coming this year. Its just gonna break the servers for weeks or even months

[@HawkHPG]

For all we know SM will be tested in evocati 4.0

That's not even true at the time you posted it. They have now fixed the deadlock and are planning on an evo build tomorrow.

Calling next "patch" 3.24 is 100% so they can say the released 2 patches in 2024. This will be 2nd year in a row CIG only released 1 patch. We still on a slow drip as usual. Thanks for the info Mike!

[@master8127]

I cant get excited for some pictures on someones screen anymore. In 2016 (or was it 2015, cant remember) we had a live demo of a sandworm and look what happened. The fact that cargo got pushed of 3.23 to a subpatch and now to 3.24 tells me enough already. Same old story - prepare for disappointment

[@twelvewingproductions7508]

15:40 So I think that a fantastic rep mission would be to "Help a suffering Stormwhal". The mission would be to go to a suffering Stormwhal and extract the medical gowns and cruz bottles from it's mouth where the trash has become stuck preventing them from feeding. This could also actually be used to gather information for the economy... by basing this mission totally on the number of medical gowns and bottles tossed over the side of the various platforms. Chucking trash over the platforms within sight of Crusader security will get them to yell at you... you lose reputation. Then those who to to rescue the Stormwhals ... gain rep.

[@twistsnakeanklesvids261]

That's clever, I like that. :D Good thing we don't have plastic six-pack rings...

[@Phoenixstorm36]

13:06 I would love the Expanse but honestly i don't see refining coming anytime soon and this white box lokks oddly familar with the Hall A entry section so my guess would be that this thing could be hinting towards the Hull B.

[@jonnytwohands7982]

Hey Mike, I don’t comment often, but just wanted you to know I’m loving this series and I’m glad you’re enjoying it as well. It’s the best content for weekly updates across all content creators as far as I’m concerned because it’s not just a regurgitation of information. I like that you give a brief “take” on everything from your perspective. Keep up the great work!

[@natsirt9809]

8:45 that’s the inside of a reclaimer. Looks like new reclaimer missions. You can tell because of the mini map and see the salvage dispenser on the right. It’s in the salvage processing. Not grim hex😢

[@SaltEMike]

Buddy read the sign.

[@teemos2732]

Thanks Mike - always my favourite start to the week. Hope you fam stuff went well. Do you all gather round and watch one of your videos and if so, is it embarrassing (assuming your family don't know much about SC) or do they all follow you? Bit personal, I suppose, hope you don't mind me asking.

[@Azariel-Horfald]

Oh nice sponsor with loopdeck ! , really cool you did a SC plunging, personally I have a stream deck already and use miss Glitched icons . But it's very nice you did something on loopdeck , gives ppl options and SC content !

[@Sams911]

the term "kick the can down the road" fits so well into CIGs development process... I mean $700,000,000 and we still move in geological time..

[@zahvy]

700m is not nearly enough money.

[@Bagginsess]

GTA 6 has a budget of $2 billion and it will only be set in a single fictional state that won't even be to scale. $700 million is not as much as you think for a large company and huge multi year spanning product that is at the scale of a galaxy with 1000s of full sized planets to explore while also being an MMO.

[@Empty12345]

@@Bagginsess Don't forget Squadron 42

[@Bagginsess]

@@Empty12345 I didn't but the mmo part is far more expensive than single player. They have had to invent new technology to pull it off.

[@RN1441]

Remember when they used to brag about how since they weren't going with a publisher they were 4x more efficient than a normal game developer could be? Notice how the apologists now try to move the goalposts to suggest that CIG is still some plucky young startup that is starved for resources to excuse the alpha quality code in year 12 after they've blown past several delivery dates? Yeah, those people are sadly my only hope to get what I paid for in 2012 and that's only if they stay gullible enough to keep shovelling 300k per day in to this cash furnace for a few more years.

[@louieavi]

Im glad there are a slew of testers with better attitudes than I have regarding CIGs efforts. CHEERS to you all for helping.

[@eartheater3956]

I bought a loupedeck after the first time you showed it. I love it. Thanks for making the SC dl! Looking forward to checking it out.

[@ZurakciEntertainment]

Hull B is the sneakpeek . Look at the Hull A. It's exactly the same. it's just a bit longer to house bigger components.

[@fajarn7052]

That mean Vanduul are basically Cravers in Endless Space. Their trait is Eternal War, meaning they are at war with basically everyone and no peace option for them, they also 'Exploits' their planets until their resources are Depleted which meant less output overall.

[@gargenall8161]

Thank god you've made an actually competent Star Citizen news channel. You're the only one I can stand to watch, all the others just drone on and on about the same crap every day with maybe only 1 or 2 relevant sentences in their entire 10 minute video. It's criminal that you don't have more subs.

[@brssnkl]

I have a older Loupedeck competitor with just 6 buttons. I made my own separate knobs back in the day. All in one solution sounds nice :D

[@GnomeKr]

FYI: The ship disappearing after QT has been in the game at least since 3.17.X I remember experiencing it few times but never actually saw it afterwards (that is 3.18 onward)

[@angelarch5352]

Great video, thank you for the update!

[@omnipresencetv8929]

12:10 thats NOT a Box Taping gun thats a PATCH gun for plugging AIR LEAKS in your ships hull when you get a balistic object tear though your armor plating. i think it's a cool idea too sprey some coagulating RMC goo and then FLEX TAPE the hole BOoom LOT OF DAMAGE MY ASS!

[@voidwalkerjoe]

I think that sneak peek based on the “hold the door”line means it might be the legionnaire. I think in a recent monthly report they said they were working on that ships boarding tube and making retractable cover so you don’t get slaughtered boarding the ship.

[@pheebs8451]

Love the week in reviews Mike. Thank you.

[@Lisa-Azra_Broad]

Thanks Mike for your hard work, much appreciated

[@Mace1000S]

The crossbow could just fire energy bolts, Or molten metal bolts that do like a splash damage, but don’t stick, Depending how the steel bolt is charged, it could be more electric, explosive, standard small arms fire. No need to worry about bolts sticking into the wall. I can see cool graphics as the bolt charges in different ways for different types of projectiles.

[@wavion2]

I think that would ruin it. The only reason to have a crossbow in a game with all of these ballistic and energy weapons is for niche situations. Like there's some kind of dampening field that prevents energy weapons/electronics from working. Or you don't want to fire ballistics because you need silence. Or you need reusable ammo because there won't be any available for some time.

[@SaltEMike]

Or I repeated exactly what they said.

[@paradoxx451]

was looking forward to the chair beating as part of this weeks in review.

[@derjadebaum9159]

the moment when chair beating is much more entertaining than the 700 mio project

[@afternoondelight6322]

Currently playing x4 foundations it’s amazing how inadequate it makes CIG feel in comparison.

[@TruthIsKey369]

I hope CIG introduce a lot of AI stuff to enhance development, and make general NPCs a lot more interesting, and ofc make them even more unpredictable. It can also fix player animations to be a lot smoother and realistic by training the models to interact accordingly to their surroundings.

[@Kallivak]

I feel like history is a pretty good indicator. When CIG has tech blockers they delay and rename patches. If server meshing was remotely close it is my opinion that they would not be delaying or renaming anything from 3.23. How long did they push the road to 4.0 before that campaign was quietly dropped. I feel like unless theres a breakthrough on meshing we will indeed see a 3.24.1 or a 3.25 patch rather than 4.0 let alone 1.0 that is a pipedream in this backers opinion.

[@VonSpud]

Great show as always... Watched the ISC then watched your interesting overview. Been mentioning your channel as well as a few others ..to prospective StarCitizen "investors" 😂

[@reyork]

At first i thought that was a wallpaper of Morph lol

[@GnomeKr]

I feel like 3.23 made CIG learn the lesson that they are capable of big patches but not THAT big, so I expect future patches to be 3.23 and 3.24 sized

[@PatrickQT]

Thanks as always Mike. Great update.

[@Bobby-Canuck]

The other game was Shroud of the Avatar, you got a Vanduul spear in that game and a crossbow in Star Citizen for backing both. I dropped money on that game which turned out to be a wash as it is vapourware at this point, so I really hope they come through with the crossbow. I have literally no idea how they were tracking the cross-game backing, if it was even possible.

13:05 There is also the Hull B. I would love to see it flight ready for Cargo Missions.

[@Greg99rock]

I gave up, since 3.18, every patch has been marketed to have new features but ends up just trying to fix the game since they broke it after 3.17

[@redbarchetta8782]

I smell 4.0 being years yet at this point.

[@ScottZupek]

Think about that. They don't have the "tech" to make arrows stick in things. Now think about how much money they have. Then think about how old Elder Scrolls Oblivion is. Oblivion had the "tech" for arrows to stick in soft things and bounce off of hard things. This product vision (star citizen) is a pipe dream. Just think how long it would take them to add material hardness to every object in the game. Years yes years.

[@aguy446]

I honestly think they're just trying their best to keep us from rioting until AI is good enough to do everything for them

[@Bartgast]

The progress with server meshing is making me worry to wait another 2-4 years

[@alesnikodim1406]

Just started to wonder if RSI plans to add dismemberment feature. Could you ask around please? 😆

[@honoryhonra]

Lets see if they actually fix the Hull C type of cargo in stations or will be another disappointment.

[@Bobweiser19]

I’m just learning about this game now…someone correct me if I’m wrong…this will eventually be the best game of all time. I understand everyone else’s lack of patience…but based on what I’ve seen…this will be worth it. And in 20 years, I bet versions of this game will be over a petabyte to download

[@Bobweiser19]

And I’m not a tech guy so if you all make fun of me I won’t care b/c I won’t understand…but honestly…I think 20 years before this is where CIG wants it.

[@Volf1916]

Yeah the low bar has not been raised. Nothing in 3.24 is new, its just what did not make it into 3.23 given a new name. ISC ran out of Ingame development to run with. sigh. not hyped by any of it.

[@barniganmcpoyle3547]

If 3.24 helps make the game more stable and playable whatever so be it. And hopefully 4.0 gets to benefit from it

[@everettumphrey]

Good Video, Umm Odyssey. Stun Gun WOOT!

[@GeneElder.R027]

12:00 I dont think thats a box tape gun, I think thats an emergency device for securing bullet holes in the hull, to prevent 02 evacuation. Think about the brig scene from the first season of the Expanse.

[@w33b3l]

So personal hangars in July now I take it lol.

[@SaltEMike]

Tonight in evo it’s looking like now

[@w33b3l]

@SaltEMike maybe we'll see it in the PU by this time next week if we're lucky then. I was hoping for this week because of my schedule but it is what it is. Thanks for the info.

[@shippy1001]

To me the negative we are seeing right now is related to Chris Roberts lying on stage saying that SQ42 is feature complete and that most devs moved to development of the PU. If he would have his BIG LOUD MOUTH shut, we would`ve continue speculating about SQ42 release date (just as we are right now) and would actually be praising 3.23/3.24, for innovations and all the work they`ve been putting on it, yeah its broken, but it always been like that, the difference is that we were expecting an acceleration in development, but we are exactly the same as before, single patch a year.

[@romain13100]

They three weeks ago, during invictus they renewed their intention to release 4.0 this summer. in the current state of things that won't be the case, it's still a nice bunch of escrow. But I'm not surprised, they did the same thing last year or the year before it seems to me : ) They should specialize only in marketing, and resell the video games part to a specialized company. That way they could continue to sell snow to the Eskimos and we would have our game

[@rockumo]

One thing that feels wrong is , making FPS weapons before finishing FPS combat (And by statements devs did on fps combat - its more a MEME game then an actual fps game, so give or take 5 years and new dev's will re- do it again) Some main takes of past years: "we want a DarkSouls Like game , explaining on if you make a mistake you have to loose everything " | that is not darksouls like , pls go play darksouls properly and come back. "A FPS game that has No gun Recoil And Is Hard to play( high skill needed) Dose Not Exist " | Quake , VALORANT , Doom , Overwatch , Apex a bit Showing that SC FPS dev don't play FPS games OOr are so casual that shooting teleporting players and afterimages seems GOOD GAME to them. Recoil Is a good thing but Drastic statements on something like that is BS , Adding recoil on no HitReg Is more ment To Hide the bad performance !!! Then balance High TTK(time to kill) , As TTK was changed already making everything bullet sponges, Or instadeath if performance is tanked. (adding on why guns need to spaz out , and we need sniper glint in darkness)
