Fun Tidbits: 26:00 - Vanduul Kingship. 29:00 - In Star Citizen lore, they explain that all ships/turrets have a sound simulator in the cockpit, which is why you hear the sounds of combat in space. 35:00 - Yes, they did integrated object culling tech into SC back about 5 years ago(?) before they launched Lorville in planet Hurston. 40:25 - Yep. Vanduul Driller just cut an Idris in half. Anyone who's fought an Idris in the Alpha knows how insane that is. 49:42 - Yep. Retaliators. They also have a lot of turrets for point defense against fighters. 51:00 - It's like testing in PTU, verifying things are fixed. Then going into PU live launch, then everything breaks again 56:50 - They started with CryEngine and modified it a ton to get Star Citizen working, but got into a lawsuit with that company (I'm foggy on the details here). They then ported the entire game to Lumberyard around Alpha 3.0, but to put it another way, CIG has never stopped modifying and making new tech for Star Citizen to exist in its current state. To lightly quote a spectrum (forum) post, CIG tried using industry standard databases for example, but everything broke under the strain of what they were trying to do with Star Citizen. 57:25 - "Go" 1:13:22 - They started development of SQ42 ever since the beginning. Everything that exists in Star Citizen came from development pipelines from SQ42. 1:14:30 - Yep. Every multicrew ship has enough space that you can board and do FPS combat inside. 1:17:35 - At this point, they've made so many modifications to the engine that they're calling it the Star Engine. I would not be surprised if they do license out Star Engine to other companies when they're done. 1:32:32 - Star Citizen indeed has no loading screens. My org has dropped ground vehicles in space and let it drop to the ground of a planet (and instantly explode lol)
Yeah ... And maybe one of the only dates they set in years 🤣 I think its realistic, I'ma just have to survive until then. Ive been waiting 13 years, whats another 1 or 2 😎
We simulate engine noises in our cars today to make them sound better. The same thing is happening in SC. The soundscape is entirely simulated by your helmet to give you a better feedback about what's happening. It's not real sound that's traveling through space.
Yes they modified the cry engine back in the day, and soon after they realised cry engine haven't good servers tech so they switch up to lumberyard (which is based on cry engine too) And after that they modified lumberyard so much that now it's called starEngine litterally it's fully branded since last year at citizencon 2023 (or 2953 if you want ) Object container streaming it's not a new tech, even tho it's a new tech for a game with that type of scale What is new however it's their server meshing tech, their planetary tech, and a lot more that i don't remember the name but you get it.
Heard of Star Citizen before it was even in kickstarter and have wanted to see this game come to fruition. Incidentally, I had played Wing Commander 4 as a kid, then Freelancer later as a young adult (Also both incidentally Chris Roberts games). I was looking for a more advanced Freelancer game, and that's how I found SC. Since then, I've probably already played over a thousand hours of Star Citizen in its alpha state (I was also Evocati for some time), and have watched this game grow from Hangar module to where it is now. I've waited for about 13 years for this game now...I can wait 2 more.
01:06:33 Who cares about star wars, imagine a mass effect game with that engine. Would be so cool. 2026 will be a long wait and I REALLY hope they do release it that year, and not 2 months before 2027.
Imagine someone using this engine for squadron 42, insane right. Idk everyone thinks it star citizen would be better off if it was Star wars or Halo or Mass Effect, why cant SC be.... you know... SC?
@@ThirsttyRecon Honestly I get what you mean there, but from a tech perspective its more of a "Wow, after this comes out imagine if other people got this tech?" Kinda thing. Kinda boils down to people celebrating christmas before halloween even starts I think :P But yeah good point honestly.
What many people dont know it that sound actually can travel in space but under certain circumstances like being near a gascloud which ... those 2 feets were.
1:13:43 actually, Squadron 42 was the original intention from the very beginning. they started making Star Citizen to fund the development. so SC is actually built off of SQ42, not the other way around. That's why development of SC has been speeding up recently. SQ42 is feature complete, so they're now moving a lot of those features over to Star Citizen, like the new UI, interaction system, etc.
while you were shutting the heat off, he actually said there were 10 QA tester that has tested it before and got no problem 51:25, so your experience were spot on 51:00
I don't recall the specifics, but in the SC/S42 universe, AI is banned by the UEE (United Empire of Earth) Likely due to fears of it developing beyond human controls. Although the most recently elected Imperator did run on a platform of legalizing AI research.
Every time AI has been utilized in the past, it has gone catastrophically wrong. Most notable was the AI in charge of Mars terraforming. It was almost done, and people were already walking around without helmets, when the atmosphere rapidly reverted. Almost all the workers and their families on the planet died. However the latest Imperator ran on a platform that did include restarting AI research.
Yes, they were definitely looking into eventually making alien races playable in SC, but nothing set in stone yet Also the sounds outside the ships are generated by the ship your character is in through some sort of audio system, and they said they want to make it so that if said system gets damaged, those external sounds are disabled and you only hear what you'd realistically hear inside a spaceship, or if you just don't like it, you'll be able to manually disable it through some switch or MFD option in the cockpit too
they did quite well in building that suspense and tension when the 2nd fleet is waiting for the Vanduul armada to arrive with their Kingship , I know its just a game but still lol....
big ship is literally called the King Ship. Also, the lore about AI aboard ships is that AI was decommissioned from nearly all military ships because the AI was allegedly going rogue and blowing up the crews on those ships.
8 years playing Star Citizen, there were many bugs, a lot of lag, a lot of errors in the NPCs, but I was there to see it happen, "I HELD THE LINE!", waiting for Star Citizen and Squadron 42 to arrive and now there are only two years left and I will continue in this line waiting for the moment, to tell all the people what I did and I will simply talk to them and say "I HELD THE LINE"
Close 480 m long, and the bengal is 1km long King ship vanduul is 2.8 km long it's the biggest ship so far Before it was the retribution but they decided like 5 years ago that it's no longer the retribution (it's a human ship build scpecificaly to counter the king ship) Before 2018 retribution was 3.3 km long with 2/3 of his size dedicated to his super rail gun lmao
@@zekeaffy9647 according to the lore retribution has put on hold but get resurrected in the wake of the battle vega ii. maybe we will see it in the ending of squadron 42 episode 1 or maybe in episode 3........
in this, the other ships likely don't have interiors for performance reasons, and likely aren't the full quality models since you aren't seeing them up close, but yeah if it were the multiplayer they would have full interiors
I would not be surprised at all if StarEngine is licensed and sold for other game studios. It will also be one of a potential future revenue stream if they ever keep their promise and stop selling ships once Star Citizen hits 1.0. Star Wars, Star Trek, Freespace 3, Dune, Mechwarriors! The possibilities will be endless
Can you romance the aliens? I don't know, but an infamous outlaw has a Banu as her co-pilot (look up The Reunion), and in the verse, I have seen some tablid type magazines with the front page title of 'I'm in love with a Tevarin!'
Ay if you ever need/want a org to join/ally with, feel free to let me know. Im a part of a smaller org of like 100 people but we will be getting a space station too and dont forget that theres nothing stopping us from daisy chaining space stations to eachother and you can just have your own.

I love this please PLEASE PEOPLE LIKE THIS COMMENT MAKE IT THE TOP-
I think 2026 is not bad at all, it is the most realistic date they ever set.
Yeah ... And maybe one of the only dates they set in years 🤣 I think its realistic, I'ma just have to survive until then. Ive been waiting 13 years, whats another 1 or 2 😎
Its always 2 years away...
@@Nekaishi After saying 2016 in 2014 they learned it is not right to talk about it lol
@fffx2 you know they haven't given a official release date since the last two times it got delayed. Hopefully this is the real thing.
We simulate engine noises in our cars today to make them sound better. The same thing is happening in SC. The soundscape is entirely simulated by your helmet to give you a better feedback about what's happening. It's not real sound that's traveling through space.
there are so many little details that i love. like the stealth ships that don't show up on the Vanduul radar when it switches to that.
Yes they modified the cry engine back in the day, and soon after they realised cry engine haven't good servers tech so they switch up to lumberyard (which is based on cry engine too)
And after that they modified lumberyard so much that now it's called starEngine litterally it's fully branded since last year at citizencon 2023 (or 2953 if you want )
Object container streaming it's not a new tech, even tho it's a new tech for a game with that type of scale
What is new however it's their server meshing tech, their planetary tech, and a lot more that i don't remember the name but you get it.
A little bit surprised to see a vtuber covering SC/SQ42. Nice.
Dont worry, I'll convert the rest in time 😉

Thats really funny actually how they had 10 QA testers specifically, just after I said that xD
@@Nekaishi yeah the fact that it’s exactly 10 made me want to write the comment
Those investors are ONLY for marketing.
Right. I recall hearing exactly what you said actually
The bald guy is Mark Strong.
The ship announcement whistle is a very nice touch

That is Vandul King ship. 3km long

I like that the admiral took a page out of general Patton's speach.
they did quite well in building that suspense and tension when the 2nd fleet is waiting for the Vanduul armada to arrive with their Kingship , I know its just a game but still lol....

Wow, their AI technologies are really shitty for a 2945...

wait, what happened to the retribution? I thought they are gonna use it? is it only gonna be built still?
@@zekeaffy9647 according to the lore retribution has put on hold but get resurrected in the wake of the battle vega ii. maybe we will see it in the ending of squadron 42 episode 1 or maybe in episode 3........
It crashed due to Intel, not the game. Squadron 42 was part of the Kickstarter campaign.
in this, the other ships likely don't have interiors for performance reasons, and likely aren't the full quality models since you aren't seeing them up close, but yeah if it were the multiplayer they would have full interiors
The engine was crytec but amazon bought it and changed it to lumber. Then they hired crytec enginees to build their own and it is now StarEngine
I would not be surprised at all if StarEngine is licensed and sold for other game studios. It will also be one of a potential future revenue stream if they ever keep their promise and stop selling ships once Star Citizen hits 1.0.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Freespace 3, Dune, Mechwarriors! The possibilities will be endless
Its the Vandul Kingship and ther was some withe box leaks years ago. Nothig until now
It's the kingship vanduul the biggest ship in the game with retribution
