Ahhhhhh I’m sooooo happy Geezus is back! I mean I love the rest of y’all, but he speaks Star Citizen in the same language that I do. 😂 Thank you guys for making this. Looking forward to more.
Thank you so much for that. It has been a tough couple of years with life in the real world and I am happy to be back with you guys! Lots more to come...
When 3.23 goes live, and better when 3.23+ drops, we are closer to NPC Crew and AI Blades, everyone keeps telling me im wrong about this aspect of the development, they have said it wont be long, and its on the ROADMAP, so i conceed....its not long now, i really want a SOLO Javelin, Perseus and Polaris, NPC Crew/ai Blades will also make using the Mole easier, with my NPC Crew. Also, ''Custom Ship Paints'' are very close, the chance to customise my fleet is most welcome. Cant see why i could never jump on board with the whole ''NPC Crew/AI Blades'' are coming for 3.23+. Its enlightning and comforting. Big ships RULE!
Oh it would be awesome if you are right!! Personally, I honestly think we wont see them until we get the Perseus in game which would put us into most likely IAE of 2025...Time will tell! Thanks for your comment! For me at least Big Ships DEFINITELY RULE!!
I'm one of those guy who have only ONE ship. It's a Polaris, and it'll be crew only by NPC and AI blades. I will not, nor want to, have to deal with other people on my ship. I'm aware NPC crew are far down the line, and I have no problem to wait. I've been waiting 8 years for my Polaris. I guarantee you : the vast majority of multicrew ships, from Cutlass to Idris, have been bought by solo players who really took CIG on their word about NPC crew and AI blades.
This must be taken into consideration, even tho it seems CIG is taking steps that more or less go against this, imo in some aspects anyway. But really hoping they keep it as intended 🤙🏻
@Tekjive I understand that. I have time constraints. Coordinating with ppl in real life can be like herding cats in that I am not always online when my friends are. I also have acquired 5 starter packages to help crew my BMM. Is CIG really going to penalize me to run the ship I paid for? Is CIG really expecting me NOT to play until once every two weeks when the stars align and I can find ppl I trust and not random ppl that will kill me on my own ship "creating their own gameplay" because I cannot use my own NPCs to run my ship? I certainly hope that is NOT the case. Apologies, not venting at you in particular. Just venting.
''ON THEIR WORD'' which isnt a PROMISE., CIG make no promises, much like ''custom ship paints'', although we do have those. Certain solo players delude themselves, always have, they fail to understand CIG are not making a SP game, its a MP concept, with solo elements, the game is not going to be reversed engineered, its steering toward a design path and CRoberts vision, and that vison isnt Starfield. If engineering and fire control was going to be performed by AI....it would be, but its not, and master modes. Although i could be completely wrong, and we gat ''NPC Crew and AI Blades'' in a couple of patches, or CIG reverse their design pass, scrap engineering, fire management and master modes, and regress to say 2016?
Completely agree, while i have a few frinds to play with, i dont want strangers arround me to mann my ship. My polaris is a mostly solo ship. As is my reclaimer, perseus, retaliator and so on.
@@Thor_Asgard_ I do enjoy solo gameplay in my Phoenix, especially exploration, sitting back for a moment on some planet/moon and enjoying the vistas in comfort, with all the ammenities on hand, including a Snub+Lynx, solo gameplay is going knowhere. Although instead of joining a Org/Group as such, it might be an idea to form ''Captains Lounges'' for the larger ships, where we could meet up, train and learn the ropes of commanding these large ships, perform duties on each others Polaris/Perseus. As some have said that with engineering/Fire managment crew can delegate these duties, no need to increase the crew count. So its now 'IAE' before we get the Polaris?
Go listen to the December Reverse the Verse live from 2018 with Jared and John Crewe. At 52 minutes in, Jared asks John about NPC crews. John agreed with Jared that NPC crews will be needed to operate capital sized ships. Jared even said there's 2 types of solo in SC. Solo where you fly by yourself any ship from A to B and Solo where you with an NPC crew operate a ship to do the things between A and B.
As i keep telling the muppets, AI Blades and NPC Crew isnt happening for a long, long time. Its must be sad when some of these weidos keep buying large ships, and think CIG are going to turn the PU into SQ42 or Starfield. Sad...yet hilarious
@@davewills148 They're waiting on certain things to be completed and working before they start trying to release the NPCs into the PU. Don't get your panties in twist just because they will come out at some point and it goes counter to whatever idea you think the game will be like someday.
@@rtek777 I.......dont want them to come out, ''* possiblility of hiring NPC's in the future to help you fly the ship and that, and ''THAT'S PROBABLY FAR DOWN THE ROAD'' ITS in the roadmap* From the man himself, im laughing my pantiless ass off, ha, ha ha!
@@davewills148 Whether you want them or not, they're coming and when they come, you simply don't have to hire them. You won't have to install AI Blades into your components either. They're a long way away because there's core tech that needs to be completed first but they have been in development for years. NPCs are already in the game, they're in the ships and bunkers. Only difference in NPC crews is their actions, tasks and behaviors which CIG have already been creating just not turning on yet because engineering needs to be completed in order to then program those game logics to work with all the new systems. When they start enabling those functions, NPC multicrew ships will have more than just pilots and gunners. They will have engineers, munitions, medics, security etc.
Hey Guys! Great show. There's not many of these type of shows I enjoy but I've add you to the list! There was only one thing I wanted in this patch is a compass when I'm on foot. I don't do a lot of PVP dog-fighting or combat and consider myself an "explorer". Not having a compass when I"m wandering around a dense forest is utterly ridiculous and should have been there on DAY ONE. Now that I"m getting it, that's all I need.
Thank you for your enthusiasm we are happy to have you here. I think we will see a LOT of little things added to the game in the coming years that will make the game so much better than what we see today. Like yourself I am an Explorer at heart and there is going to be so much to see over time.
The American dude was on point and was correct in his views on how the game is progressing. He was quite insightful and the other guys probably need to look to him for guidance. Voices were clear and easy to understand and some interesting viewpoints all around.
@LawlessBaron The flight model, the starmap, mobiglass and the graphics are all systems that have barely been touched since Port Olisar was the only place you could visit. You may not be excited about it but it's hardly a 'fluff patch'. Sure we all wanted cargo changes and persistent hangars but it's already more progress than we've had in a long time.
Love the new EVA mechanic.. Does anyone remember floating around an abandoned space station doing some mission? I vaguely remember doing that years ago but my Son and I can't recall where it was.. Was that the old abandoned Security Post Kareah perhaps? I recall floating office equipment and vending machines, if that helps anyone remember. Anyways, I hope they add tons and tons of eva missions like that, only better.
You are referring to the abandoned Covalex shipping hub station and its investigation mission. Which is still in the game btw, if you are around crusader the mission should pop up I think, I know the station is still there orbiting Daymar.
1 NPC per package. 9 NPC to 1 PC cap What makes me angry is that it use to give you one Hangar per Ship but now it looks like they plan to give you your highest Hangar per account. I went from , putting a home hangar in every planet to having to decide what planet will be my home 😳
I am going to go out on a limb and say that I believe they will ultimately recognize that they sold the hangers as a means to have multiple hangers in multiple places and will LEGALLY have to go in that direction or risk litigation for selling the hangers and then not deliver the mechanic they were sold for....Time will tell! Thank you for your thoughts o7
To be fair at the first gamescom live event in 2013, i asked Eric Peterson and Chris himself on when NPC or automated Turrets will come to the game, guess what.... answer was "soon". Not even joking. But i fully agree with the take, we need automation, and it cant come soon enough, atleast i wont take a spin anymore, until AI is there, so i dont get shot down when someones not gunning my turrets.
As a initial pledger for the Merchantman I am very invested and excited to see its hopeful launch sometime within the next decade but I have my suspicions on why Cig is delaying it soo much. With the Merchantman, I feel cig would rather be more happy keeping it on the backburner rather than actually working on it. One its gonna be completely unique so putting people on it means they most likely wont be working on anything else for a while. Also the ship is too unique and comfortable to play in. What I mean is it does everything you want, being a capital ship but having a small crew requirement, having some big guns, point defense, huge cargo space, landing ability, medical bay, etc. Cig made a mistake having a ship with this much in it since if they do release it, why buy any other ship. You literally got a swiss army knife of a ship that looks hella cool. They want to make ships have something missing so you go and buy another ship to fill it but the only thing missing from a merchantman is the actual ship itself. Plus people go on and on about the merchant shop but I see the merchantman first and foremost as a cargo hauler, something we already have in depth. So why the delay with it, if it hauls cargo it's already at least 2/3 complete. They could add the bazaar room but without the functionality until they have that, then it could just be updated right in the main patch(possibly in a .x patch). But I do like to say that the Merchantman will be the thing they announce and release when the fully finished game patch comes out.
I concur on so many of your points and have said the same things for some time now. Baron and Lee and I have done quite a few Deep Dives on ships including a couple on the Merchantman that are really good in my opinion. Please give them a watch if you haven't and let me know what you think.
Sir, what song do you use for your intro? I sounds very familiar and I can’t quite remember which song it is, it’s driving me mad because I want to listen to it! 😂
@@pegasusbs6237 Makes sense for a ship with a Banu crew don't get me wrong, but why wouldn't humans that own the ships make any renovations? as it stands I'm betting most BMM owners will wind up taking one of the VIP rooms
Ok I watched this twice. AI crew will exist but expect them to be mostly useless. To get a specialist crew member, you will pay mountains of AUEC. That's always been their design choice. The won't stop you from being solo but the intend making it painful. As far as game package NPC they are supposed to be specialists at a lower price from my understanding of the stuff they put out. If you have standard AI gunners, expect them to miss and / or shoot the wrong target.
When 3.23 goes live, and better when 3.23+ drops, we are closser to NPC Crew and AI Blades, thedevs have said it wont be long, and its on the ROADMAP, so not long now, i really wnat to SOLO my Javelin, Perseus and Polaris, will also make using the Mole easier with my NPC Crew, cant wait for my BMM also, fully crewed and a real bitch in Pyro. Coming soon i am told by the community
I want another BMM reconcept so badly. Early suppoters didn't purchase a Banu dayspa/yoga studio. Id gladly wait another 5+ years to not have that POS be released.
