Whitley’s Guide 2951 IAE Special - Part 2

After a bit of a rocky start, Jax is poised to get things back on track by subverting the dreaded reputation of the mighty Aegis Redeemer whilst also, and at the same time, giving us a lesson in art history. What could go wrong? Part 3 arrives on November 23.

Tell you what, if a rooftop at NB was actually painted in-game to represent this episode, that would be the greatest tie-in ever.

[@xtremetuberVII]

I'm just sitting here wondering like, why can't it already be? Isn't it just a texture? They didn't uh, physically physically digitally paint it, just virtually digitally paint it.... XD.

That would be the ultimate selfie moment... also the signed painting of Jax lootable

[@RedJay]

Yes the painting loot and the painted building would be great.

[@krislaguardia5052]

@@-_Nuke_- I don't know how I would be considered a moron but if it makes you feel better and more superior then so be it. I have only dropped $170 or so into supporting this effort. If it goes no where, it will be one of my cheapest investments. I have spent many hours playing various gameplay loops, listening to the engines of the ships, watched drama unfold, and getting to see the inside of game development in many different aspects. I enjoy the videos as well as entertainment. I have gotten far far less out of 3 video games worth of funds.

[@Triscraft]

Noooo Jax! Come back!.. Jimmy needs you! WE need you!, Whos gonna host the amazing parties in my 890 jump if you're not around?

I love and really appreciate all the hard work that goes into these - basically adverts for SC - videos. They immerse you into the 'verse, not yet fully discovered. I want to play the final release version so much! Yet I am happily enjoying the development journey, I know that some day, it will all be completed. Roll on SC V 1.0 and of course SQ 42 😎

[@COMMANDERHAWK22]

the redeemer IS his therapist.

[@minicute2234]

Nah jax just wanted the ship

[@Dowlphin]

Yeah, I thought, it's a problematic ship to fly off in during a career crisis.

[@finefinenewone]

I would love to see more of Jacks, like a regular ship show that showcases other ships and pits them against one another with two other hosts and jimmy being an expert pilot

@@clykke yea the nutcrackers ... the second tower in the front doesnt seem right either.

[@Caelum_NLD]

@@clykke that's the beauty of taste :D

[@EPiQ_cR]

Agreed, an easy upgrade to my FL MIS, the ship with the literally ugliest cockpit and most unrefined turret integration.

[@Archista]

I love my deemer' but I think they made it look worse than the original design which is still in the media on the ship's rsi page... it went from sleek to chunky and squareish, also they turned the rear tail fins upwards (pbly a cheap way of making it not fit in the polaris hangar)

[@sinisterj73]

Another awesome episode, they just keep getting better every year.

[@Captain_Max]

CIG, here's a thought. Take all of your and the best of the communities ads and shows and put them on the various monitors and screens throughout the game. Maybe even live streamed content like the Daymar Rally and the Hurston Hurt Locker. I can imagine hanging out at G-Lock, M & V's or even a station's bar with a gang of friends and having some beers while watching Fight or Flight on a big screen. I think it would bring a lot of life to these places. Also, more Jax please. I love that guy

[@Ethirical]

Absolutely this. Seeing dynamic ads on trains and such would be cool, similar to how they use them during other events.

[@jordan1982]

This is a low-point for Jax. Let's see how he comes back from this

[@byron.jennings]

That wasn't actually that bad. He got the overall colors laid out, so it's like looking at the painting through a VERY out-of-focus lens. The redeemer is a fun ship to fly, and I'm happy I have one in my fleet. Thanks to the team that made this, and I hope Jax can get his head back in the game.

[@Ruffi0]

This was amazing. General laughter at the end. Thank you CIG. Please make this building painted in game

[@TheStrangeCreator]

Jimmy really said some inspiring and touching stuff there. Brought a tear to my eye. You're a good lad, Jimmy.

[@LargeHawaiian]

He’s flying that Redeemer straight to Redemption… …probably in the form of an A2 and a MOAB

[@trinityx3o522]

Inb4 until he shows up in a BMM.

[@VonSpud]

[@possibly_a_retard]

[@hybridbranch6778]

Looks like Jax is now Jaxon Pollock.

[@DamielBE]

wouldn't he say "Jaxon's Bollocks"? Looks like CIG might be retiring good ole Jax

[@K3vyB]

I'm really liking where they are going with this! Jeremy Clarkson really using those acting chops. Hope hes a quest giver at some point, theres some cool things they could do with this down the line. Yet another thing that makes me wish they weren't making SQ42, they would have the dev resources to make a bajillion questlines for SC

[@n1ck7hequick]

Well, once SQ42 is finally done, I'm sure that talent will be used for the PU.

[@rentaspoon219]

That far into the future and classical still exists

[@graveperil2169]

It works for Elite

[@bdo7765]

Um, it's already existed for centuries? It would be much more absurd to have rap, rock etc. in a game set 900 years in the future, as those have only been around for a short time. Maybe they will endure, and maybe they won't, but 'classical' music has already stood that test.

[@astronotics531]

There's a lot of stuff in the game that doesn't make sense... if I were to imagine a universe set in the 30th century, it would be much more futuristic and fanciful than Star Citizen.

[@Ratswallow]
