As a veteran in this game it still blows my mind every time i play it. When you see planets like this and you can actually see cities you can visit in realtime on it, its not just a texture. Same if youre standing planetside, you can see ships entering orbit. The visuals and sound from all of that..... still blows my mind. Its incredible.
I just recently came back after a 8 month pause, and the game has improved soo so much over that time... I mean Where else can you fly through an entire solar system without any kind of loading screen? Then go to the planet/moons surface and walk around and pick stuff up? like what
Indeed! I have had 2 proper play sessions since I bought my pledge. Each have been the most epic experiences I've ever had in gaming. I am so pleased to be joining the verse when it seems to gaining traction and progress is being made. The community is mature and very helpful too! Loving it! A bit too much if I'm honest, completely lost track of time last night and ended up going to bed far too late only to continue the possibilities of my play session in my dreams.. wonderful. Even the sometimes awful bugs do not detract from this beauty enough to keep me away.
And we are getting so close to having Physicalised Cargo, NPC Planetary Navigation, and Quanta, which will finish the core pillars of gameplay, and then the long awaited content will finally flow. Still a few patches away, but closer and more certain than ever before
@@DEJEANWRIGHT I've been a backer since 2013. If you're just finding the game you're lucky, it's been a long development full of bugs to get to where are today. It's much more playable in Alphs 3.17 than it's ever been.
I'm hoping they get their dynamic economy/missions to match. They have some great plans and I hope they achieve most of them because if you think what we have now blows your mind...
The Gen 12 renderer is slowly rolling out and each time a new slice gets delivered, parts of the game start looking better and better. By the end of the year, it'll be fully rolled out and the game will look like 100% better
I mean it really is the future if u think about it, people argue about why this hasnt come out yet, but when u start playing you see all the detail ( ive been watching some ship tours and the attention to detail the small things is amazing and thats just the ships take a loot at the planets or the cities, all the interactables they want to add) all the things u MUST add to the game in order to those new feature to work correctly how BIG things are next to the players and i mean i dont know when but when it finally comes out FOR VR this will blow your mind into the next level
@@panfull6542 Gen 12 is the new renderer. It will give better performance. It should be implemented in 3.17 but there’s still some additional work for transparent geometry that needs to be done so it's using both renderers at the moment.

Thanks mate, for all your videos of Star Citizen so far. Really enjoy them, and I love how you always give the real deal that is you into the gameplay commentary. Keep doing what your doing, because it freakin AWESOME!
as a older backer of the game , its nice to see a new players reaction to things for the first time. i recently got some family into the game and it was a blast introducting them to the verse and the bugs and wonder that happen , sometimes at the same time .
I think Olli got the perfect star citizen experience. He started and could buy almost all ships instantly and didnt have ti go through this grinding phase.. still incedibly fun to watch!
As a 2013 backer I can say you never truly get used to the beauty and detail of the game. Yes you lose some of the awe of things you've seen multiple times but I have yet to have one day in Star Citizen where I'm not going like "DAYUM WHERE MY SCREENSHOT BUTTON AT" Especially the landscape on Microtech gets me every damn time
I was doing a bunker mission on Microtech yesterday and there was a Constellation parked up next to my mission objective. Didn't see anyone around on foot, and the Constellation had left when I completed the mission and exited the bunker. When you said in the video that it was the first time you had been to Microtech, I thought it might have been your ship that I saw.
I really want to watch this video dude, but after 3 minutes I already feel like I don’t want to spoil the game for myself by watching! I’m 2 play sessions in and already in love with this game.. sheer magic
I agree with your enthusiasm at the start man. I tip-toed into SC about 3 weeks ago. I have since gotten two 16000m sticks, some hardware to rig my chair as a proper HOSAS, upgraded my RAM, and have the game running so well. I'm so hooked. I haven't been this hooked on a game in a decade at least.
Great seeing you exploring Star Citizen and enjoying all the different aspects of it, including the emergent gameplay and exploration. I think you would love the Carrack so should borrow one and do a video or two using that. Having said that, the Connie Phoenix is a perfect ship for exploring Stanton right now.
This game is coming along well. It has been a long time coming. I can't even play it because I but off the shelf PCs made fore students and not for gaming. Still watching you guys go through the motions makes like it even if I can only watch. They are as they said creating not just a game, but a universe. So yeah. This is where gaming is headed for the future. The team is doing a great job. Hard to believe they are still at it after all these years. That's dedication.
Then, if you like it, watch out for the so called "Free fly event"s in which you get to play the game free for a week or two. Totally worth checking that out and if I had to guess on when the next'll be i'd say around may ;)
The Phoenix has always had a special place in my heart since it was announced back in ... I can't remember XDDD. At the time, I think the constellations were the big ships on the block. It's crazy to see how much that's changed since then.
Pyro is very exciting and the crazy thing about it is that it is 2.5x the size of Stanton. Also, after Squadron 42 finishes, we will have additional star systems added into the game that those teams were working on. This game's progress keeps getting faster and faster!
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator I don't agree. I pledged about 2 years ago and I have seen a lot of changes in those 2 years. This year especially has added a lot of changes, that has not only added quite a few new areas but also changed how the game is played. And we should get even more changes and additions by year's end!
I appreciate to hear the excitement in your voice. It truly is an experience that will hopefully continue to improve as the project continues to unfold.
I'm a backer since 2015, and while I take a break from the game from time to time, I always come back to it. Great to see new players getting into it. There is simply nothing else like Star Citizen.
So many possibilities - so much work. Opening up some plants to independent developers might be helpful. Creating stories lines etc. Giving game design schools a place to show what they can do. Just an idea.
I really enjoyed watching that. Thanks for posting. P.S the guy who activated the self destruct taught you the most valuable lesson in SC: Don't trust anybody.
Dudes, you guys were so much fun together... Need a new processor before I dip back in, but seeing you two just chillin' makes me want to take out a new mortgage and upgrade just to wander round Micro-Tech again
@13:00 yea its bizarre they make the ramps only drop X distance. I feel there is no structural reason that most ramps can't expand twice as far as they already do, It would make sense to have the ramps have the ability to extend to the max realistic distance possible.
25:33 you're having so much fun you haven't even noticed that the armour of you and your friend has ice/snow dust forming on it because you're in the snowy environment. About 20 seconds later (in the video) the ice is melting off of your armour
I played the game back in version 2.0, I was already so blown away by the scale of everything, how we can walk into ships and walk out while seamlessly just sold me right away.
Awesome video! Don't forget to check out New Babbage. It looks really cool in the day time, but I also love seeing Wally's Bar at night. Keep in mind, these are all works in progress and things will get added to. In 3.17 they're adding a hospital to Hurston. More interiors are coming to ArcCorp. Docking stations are being added to Crusader. Colonial towns are coming. More ship wreckages. Always more content.
17:06 It most definitely is in the game. But vow important it is to use varies from ship to ship. Some will literally fall down towards the surface even when you thrust 100% up into the sky without VTOL when you're facing towards the horizon. For others it's mainly a way to get a little bit better gas milage in atmosphere and slightly better control of your ship, for instance to help you slow down when landing etc.
Sometimes you forget how big Levelcap is in Star Citizen Community. and then you remember he's one of the people that have the Javelin From the Referral programs.
I'm a "veteran" of Star Citizen, and yet with all we have to do and see i STILL see new things in the 'verse. Pledged since almost day one. First two kills in my Freelancer MAX. Third with my MISC Prospector. I play just about every night. And yet... CIG fails to be "It." I like to walk through areas. Soaking up the feel of things. Looking around as a... Tourist. So if you see a "Sophie" wandering around... Stop and look at things. I'm looking at things. Absorbing the lore of the area around us. Stop and take a look at things. Enjoy the work the work that Cloud Imperium Games has given us. Disappointed you won't be. Trust me on this.
Vtol is a thing, but only some ships have VTOL thrusters. Most misc ships have them, as well as the cutty black and more, and when you activate vtol mode the Jets will pivot from aiming behind your ship to pointing below. It makes flying around on planets much more stable at the expense of Max speed.
Looooving your videos and your enthusiasm in the little things!! And landings lol I'm console and don't have a PC however this is the first time I've really actually considered getting a pc only to play this game. I can see myself living in this world glitches and all lol beautiful game
We definitely need more exploration episodes like this! For some reason I enjoyed watching this much more than with all the mission content :D Edit: Btw. the actual "Progression" in Star Citizen will mostly be based around reputation and what you're going to unlock with it like different kinds of missions or ships. For example. you won't be able to just buy the military version of some ship just because you got the money. You need to have a reputation that'll make these factions that you're buying it from trust you. Of course that wouldn't apply to most civilian ships. Those you probably find in the nearest Space-Walmart. So having money is just one thing, reputation will be the other big way to progress. Might even be more important than cash in the end. And on the topic of something being meta: That's exactly what CIG want's to avoid. There won't be the BEST weapon or the BEST ship that someone could have. They will (and already do) differ enough from each other to make them better in different use cases. Just the example of people always arguing if the Gladius or Arrow is better. IMO there is no better there. Arrow is for people with amazing reflexes and evading skills and Gladius will be more of a head on ship as it has slightly better armor/shields. The different of these ships is subtle but the Pilot will make it work in the end. People also like to bring up the 400i being useless. That's another thing, it's useless in the usecases they expect it to use it. But in the end the 400i is nothing more than a luxury space-camper for some light exploration/sightseeing if you want a really comfy experience with your friends. Ships are not always designed to be better in everything than others. Niche ships exist just as much. And that's what I love about the game.
Now that I have two accounts in Star Citizen. One is my main, and the alt is for anybody else that wants to play the game, without buying any ships themselves. Putting it simply. On my main account, the first starter package I ever brought was for the Hornet Ghost and that was way back in the beginning. 2014, I believe. So, it's been quite awhile and then just last year when some friends gave me some extra money I decided to get the Cutlass Black Starter Package. Adding that money to my latest pay check was enough to bag that one. Very pleased I was with that purchase as it became my go to ship, for considering a crew of more than one and also sleeping/logging off on. I still loved my Hornet Ghost, but it was only a one seater. As I recall accidently, evacuating from it once during Quantum travel as I thought I was typing in chat, but actually I wasn't.... I needed to press Y and was immediately left behind by my Ship. This was also the first time, I set up a beacon, to be rescued by another flying a Connie. This was just awesome, seeing this large ship pull up in space to collect me and then chase after my other ship. Which needed to be shot down since, it was still going too fast after dropping from QT. Just got to be careful what key you press while piloting a one seater, with no ship interior. Then just a few months earlier, I created a second account for Star Citizen and purchased the Starter Package (Yeah, I have never purchased a ship that was stand alone.) for the 100i. Nice ship it is too. Not quite as big as the Cutlass Black, but very sleek and fast. Strictly for the second player who could then join my games. Yes, I'm that desperate for company in this game. Even though, I do have a beefy looking friends list. They are mainly just people I have chatted to in game in the past or the one that collected me. They are not in game most of the time. Now, the thing is that I gave my main account the name Starseeker, and I'm really sick of it. (Yes, I have already changed my pilot name once.) and the second account got the better name of Captain MPTH. (They are my initials.). How hard would it be for RSI to swap names on both my accounts. So that my main has the name Captain MPTH, and my alt has the name Starseeker?
As they add systems, I hope they just say "Okay, we added a new system, now you explorers out there have to find and map the jump point before anyone can travel to it"
yeah eventually they will just leave it to players to discover everything and the patch notes will just read "new system added" in the patch notes. can't wait for that day
Last I heard, it was actually part of the "info runner" role, and discovering a jump point doesn't mean you _have_ to share that information. Keep this information for yourself if that profits you better.
@@cabritsanscorgaming Agree. It is just a matter of time before other explorers find that information, so there is motivation for the explorer who finds it to start selling that information to others.
Have you flown in a carrake yet. If not I can join you in a game session and be your top of the line taxi. And you don’t need to worry about dying in missions as the carrack has a built in medical bed
I just started this week, man this game is hard to learn. It took me like a few hours to learn to fly to get off the starting city. But this game blew me away. Unfortunately a lot of bugs and glitches I died like 6x for nothing. But this game is blowing my mind. I hope they will release it in the future.
Don't get too attached to your stuff at the moment. Also don't be afraid to link up with other players. Even just in general chat, let them know you're new. The game gets so much better the instant you play with someone else.
from one update to another, the state of the game is different. 2 months ago the game was going really well. And since they released an update 3 hours before FREEFLY the game is all broken.
@@Voltomess its indeed a kinda boring after a couple of days. Those missions are a bit boring and there is no lore. And I get it it’s not out yet. I hope once they full release this game they will put more activity’s in to the game and lores etc. Now it’s a bit empty the game except how it looks a like of course.
As far as what you were saying at the start of the video goes... I agree completely. I installed the game for the first time last night, and was honestly blown away by the detail present in so many of the aspects of this game.
Here's the thing, you don't want to release too much stuff right now when they are still developing the engine and tech, because it is just more stuff you have to redo to bring up to the new tech. Like look how much the existing ships and planets and stuff has changed over the years, the whole graphics has had a massive overhaul.
I play since Squdron 42 had a massive PR phase and their Demo was playable onboard a Javelin, I guess it was a Javelin. Where You get instructed by Luke Skywalker. And this game still blows my mind, things I discover to do while playing with others who are new and dare to just try out. Even if some updates seem small or incomplete in terms of fulfillment of their Roadmap in the Release View. It's also sharing the experience, I will never grow tired of seeing a sunrise from space, blasting over the landscape with my dragonfly, nox or a cyclone, or just moving around my ship, hanging out in certain areas and just take in the view, the moment... Sharing all this with seasoned players and new players is something very unique to this game. It allows things to go slow, to enjoy "doing nothing". And that's what I think is really amazing.
What you also have to remind yourself occasionally is that the game does all of this without loading screens. As far as mission content, the persistent universe was never supposed to be a mission/story driven play-space. It's intended to be player driven. Just creating the environments eats up the majority of development time. As an example, an entire development studio is tasked only with creating the Sol system. You can imagine the level of development just Earth will require. Squadron 42 is the story based game, and they've shifted their writers to concentrate on completing it instead of creating new, more detailed mission for the PU. This is definitely a very long term project.
5:20 No, it's the Mercury Star-runner that is so Millennium-Falcon. It's also got above and below turrets, room to smuggle stuff (A secret passageway) A chessboard. Sleeping quarters. and it's asymmetrical. A lot like the Falcon, without looking exactly like it. As for it's being the fastest ship, I'm not so sure.
3.18 with cargo rework is going to be incredible. From the monthly reports SQ42 is a few months from reaching Alpha. Might reach Beta end of year. I would expect a release around citcon 2023. The 2 year thing is a misonception and actually refers to the time they expect it will take to expand CIG to 1400 employees.
Lol it's crazy I just watched this literally 3 minutes ago I almost wrecked because I thought one of the bars across the window of my andromeda was a part of the station and was strafing while flying and almost hit the station on the other side lol
Some basic things they should add for continuity sake is the ability to launch drones that gives you the ability to view your ship in a virtual 3D 3rd person mode. So this would "explain why" you can see 3rd person out your ship. plus they should give you a PDA on your suit so you can always access your ship remotely and give you built in VR/AR headset in your suit. This would allow you to open doors at a press of a button and remote control your ship or use various turrets remotely and at a distance. They should also allow you to give a keycard/remote permissions to crew so your crew can have set permissions so gunner only get gunner permissions while an engineer gets engineer/gunner/whatever permissions and then allow all seats to access all parts of the ship so you can gun/control all aspects of the ship from all seats as long as the owner of the ship gives you the various permissions. This would solve so many issues with running around the ship and controlling permissions of various crew. Thee is also no reason why you must be in the gunner seat or miner seat to control the various parts unless they have various specific controls that can't be accessed remotely like the pilot might have to be in pilot seat because its the only seat with a joystick/flightstick.
Talking about remote controlling your ship, I’d be happy with just remote opening my Carrack’s hanger for my M50 or open the cargo door as I approach the ship on a rover.
This vid was a lot more entertaining than it should have been. The possibilities within this game are mind-boggling, They can fit a hundred games within one game.
The one thing I would do a critique in this game is that all of those planets looks like earth... see a video of Patagonia, Argentina, you will see much more variety in one country..., thats what I love from No mans sky... planets feel alien, from flaura to fauna,from empty planets to full of life, amazing game anyway.., Starfield? They should just kept with elder scrolls, mostly now with microsoft elder scrolls 6 surely its going to be a mobile game filled with microtransactions, what a shame...
Wish I had known about the referral code last night... Just bought my first ship and going to jump in and try this out! I've been lurking this game for years and I couldn't stay away any longer. See you in the stars!
SC will blow your mind from time to time, between the game breaking bugs. I play it with 32" triple monitor, motion rig with Warthog HOTAS, it's out of this world.
@Olli43 adventures are pretty fun, just going out and finding things. Like the backpack filled entirely of Rakta dung that a friend and I have been filling just to stow on someone’s ship……..*cough* it’s gonna look great in one of your ships, lol.
I wish the trees looked less like normal earth trees. But still pretty awesome. Maybe they will make some custom foliage for the different planets in the future.
"Can't wait to see my screenshot folder after all this!" Can relate Olli, keep up the great content. When you inevitably fully tempt me to buy the game I'll use your code
Totally made it 'This Far' in the video... I get stuck watching others play apparently, lol. Guess it's just safer. I'm returning to the game too and have no idea what I'm doing most of the time. Nice to see someone else with the same issues, hahaha. The "Ski Ship" is sure to catch on!!
Jump on global chat and ask for a mentor, it's so much better to play with someone else who can give you all the info you need as you play, even just for fun it's a great experience
Any normal gamer: "OMG MY SHIP MIGHT GO DOWN THE MOUNTAIN!!11" Streamer: "What a cool screenshot! Lets see what happens when it falls down the mountain!" lol
31:25 why are you worried about the rover exploding after jumping off a 50 foot cliff? You literally jumped the thing from orbit and it came out unscathed
Olli how often are you crashing in this game I can crash like 15-20 times in a row.. My system specs is a 11700K (stock not OC) FTW3 3080ti (stock not OC) 32GB DDR4, PCIe 4.0 M.2, CPU cooler is a corsair H150i and a THOR 1200w PSU. Running at 1440p on High settings, but I crash a lot and don't know why. Wondering if everyone is crashing as often or as much. Some days I only crash 1-2 times.
G sensitive cargo that pays 2x if you deliver it to the center of a planet with multiple tunnels in and out of various sizes. Be cool to see different formulas to be successful and manage risk.
Oh Yes, Microtech's biomes look SO much better with the helmet torch constantly on. Cough. Always amazes me how many 'pro' streamers etc don't notice that huge bright spot in the centre of the screen, glaring out details and blinding other players. And yes, it is a pet peeve of mine, I put my hand up to that! Edit: 14:44 ooh phew he turned it off....

The Phoenix has always had a special place in my heart since it was announced back in ... I can't remember XDDD. At the time, I think the constellations were the big ships on the block. It's crazy to see how much that's changed since then.
Pyro is very exciting and the crazy thing about it is that it is 2.5x the size of Stanton. Also, after Squadron 42 finishes, we will have additional star systems added into the game that those teams were working on. This game's progress keeps getting faster and faster!
This is weapons-grade hopium. This was possibly the slowest year in it's decade-long very slow development history.
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator I don't agree. I pledged about 2 years ago and I have seen a lot of changes in those 2 years. This year especially has added a lot of changes, that has not only added quite a few new areas but also changed how the game is played. And we should get even more changes and additions by year's end!
I appreciate to hear the excitement in your voice. It truly is an experience that will hopefully continue to improve as the project continues to unfold.
I'm a backer since 2015, and while I take a break from the game from time to time, I always come back to it. Great to see new players getting into it. There is simply nothing else like Star Citizen.
So many possibilities - so much work.
Opening up some plants to independent developers might be helpful.
Creating stories lines etc. Giving game design schools a place to show what they can do.
Just an idea.
I really enjoyed watching that. Thanks for posting.
P.S the guy who activated the self destruct taught you the most valuable lesson in SC: Don't trust anybody.
Thank you for hooking me on this game! I am having a blast getting blown up by asteroids exploding in my face :D
Dudes, you guys were so much fun together... Need a new processor before I dip back in, but seeing you two just chillin' makes me want to take out a new mortgage and upgrade just to wander round Micro-Tech again
@13:00 yea its bizarre they make the ramps only drop X distance. I feel there is no structural reason that most ramps can't expand twice as far as they already do, It would make sense to have the ramps have the ability to extend to the max realistic distance possible.
25:33 you're having so much fun you haven't even noticed that the armour of you and your friend has ice/snow dust forming on it because you're in the snowy environment. About 20 seconds later (in the video) the ice is melting off of your armour
So nice to see someone take advantage of the immersion this game offers without doing the normal grind. Great video!
I played the game back in version 2.0, I was already so blown away by the scale of everything, how we can walk into ships and walk out while seamlessly just sold me right away.
Experience is a game loop indeed. We drove from Port Tressler to New Babbage in hover bikes.
Honestly I didn't even felt 50 minutes going by
tbh I didn't notice the video was 50 min BEFORE playing it xD
Ok I'll be back in the morning to watch this 50 master piece. I assume. Loving the star citizen content
Awesome video! Don't forget to check out New Babbage. It looks really cool in the day time, but I also love seeing Wally's Bar at night. Keep in mind, these are all works in progress and things will get added to. In 3.17 they're adding a hospital to Hurston. More interiors are coming to ArcCorp. Docking stations are being added to Crusader. Colonial towns are coming. More ship wreckages. Always more content.
I was watching this video at work, and as soon as I got home, I bought a package and am downloading SC lol also made sure to use your code
17:06
It most definitely is in the game.
But vow important it is to use varies from ship to ship.
Some will literally fall down towards the surface even when you thrust 100% up into the sky without VTOL when you're facing towards the horizon.
For others it's mainly a way to get a little bit better gas milage in atmosphere and slightly better control of your ship, for instance to help you slow down when landing etc.
Love the Connie! Comfort on interior; Anime vibes on the exterior!
Sometimes you forget how big Levelcap is in Star Citizen Community. and then you remember he's one of the people that have the Javelin From the Referral programs.
I'm a "veteran" of Star Citizen, and yet with all we have to do and see i STILL see new things in the 'verse. Pledged since almost day one. First two kills in my Freelancer MAX. Third with my MISC Prospector. I play just about every night. And yet... CIG fails to be "It."
I like to walk through areas. Soaking up the feel of things. Looking around as a... Tourist.
So if you see a "Sophie" wandering around... Stop and look at things. I'm looking at things. Absorbing the lore of the area around us.
Stop and take a look at things. Enjoy the work the work that Cloud Imperium Games has given us. Disappointed you won't be. Trust me on this.
Vtol is a thing, but only some ships have VTOL thrusters. Most misc ships have them, as well as the cutty black and more, and when you activate vtol mode the Jets will pivot from aiming behind your ship to pointing below. It makes flying around on planets much more stable at the expense of Max speed.
Looooving your videos and your enthusiasm in the little things!! And landings lol I'm console and don't have a PC however this is the first time I've really actually considered getting a pc only to play this game. I can see myself living in this world glitches and all lol beautiful game
Did u know the constalation is the oldest
Survivng ship that was created during the 2013 or 2014 showcase
Lol, heart wrenching watching this and hearing things like "S42 is neeeearly there" and "Pyro is coming at the end of the year"
We definitely need more exploration episodes like this! For some reason I enjoyed watching this much more than with all the mission content :D
Edit: Btw. the actual "Progression" in Star Citizen will mostly be based around reputation and what you're going to unlock with it like different kinds of missions or ships. For example. you won't be able to just buy the military version of some ship just because you got the money. You need to have a reputation that'll make these factions that you're buying it from trust you. Of course that wouldn't apply to most civilian ships. Those you probably find in the nearest Space-Walmart.
So having money is just one thing, reputation will be the other big way to progress. Might even be more important than cash in the end.
And on the topic of something being meta: That's exactly what CIG want's to avoid. There won't be the BEST weapon or the BEST ship that someone could have. They will (and already do) differ enough from each other to make them better in different use cases. Just the example of people always arguing if the Gladius or Arrow is better. IMO there is no better there. Arrow is for people with amazing reflexes and evading skills and Gladius will be more of a head on ship as it has slightly better armor/shields. The different of these ships is subtle but the Pilot will make it work in the end.
People also like to bring up the 400i being useless. That's another thing, it's useless in the usecases they expect it to use it. But in the end the 400i is nothing more than a luxury space-camper for some light exploration/sightseeing if you want a really comfy experience with your friends. Ships are not always designed to be better in everything than others. Niche ships exist just as much. And that's what I love about the game.
Now that I have two accounts in Star Citizen. One is my main, and the alt is for anybody else that wants to play the game, without buying any ships themselves. Putting it simply. On my main account, the first starter package I ever brought was for the Hornet Ghost and that was way back in the beginning. 2014, I believe. So, it's been quite awhile and then just last year when some friends gave me some extra money I decided to get the Cutlass Black Starter Package. Adding that money to my latest pay check was enough to bag that one. Very pleased I was with that purchase as it became my go to ship, for considering a crew of more than one and also sleeping/logging off on. I still loved my Hornet Ghost, but it was only a one seater. As I recall accidently, evacuating from it once during Quantum travel as I thought I was typing in chat, but actually I wasn't.... I needed to press Y and was immediately left behind by my Ship. This was also the first time, I set up a beacon, to be rescued by another flying a Connie. This was just awesome, seeing this large ship pull up in space to collect me and then chase after my other ship. Which needed to be shot down since, it was still going too fast after dropping from QT. Just got to be careful what key you press while piloting a one seater, with no ship interior. Then just a few months earlier, I created a second account for Star Citizen and purchased the Starter Package (Yeah, I have never purchased a ship that was stand alone.) for the 100i. Nice ship it is too. Not quite as big as the Cutlass Black, but very sleek and fast. Strictly for the second player who could then join my games. Yes, I'm that desperate for company in this game. Even though, I do have a beefy looking friends list. They are mainly just people I have chatted to in game in the past or the one that collected me. They are not in game most of the time. Now, the thing is that I gave my main account the name Starseeker, and I'm really sick of it. (Yes, I have already changed my pilot name once.) and the second account got the better name of Captain MPTH. (They are my initials.). How hard would it be for RSI to swap names on both my accounts. So that my main has the name Captain MPTH, and my alt has the name Starseeker?
As they add systems, I hope they just say "Okay, we added a new system, now you explorers out there have to find and map the jump point before anyone can travel to it"
yeah eventually they will just leave it to players to discover everything and the patch notes will just read "new system added" in the patch notes. can't wait for that day
Last I heard, it was actually part of the "info runner" role, and discovering a jump point doesn't mean you _have_ to share that information. Keep this information for yourself if that profits you better.
@@cabritsanscorgaming Agree. It is just a matter of time before other explorers find that information, so there is motivation for the explorer who finds it to start selling that information to others.
Have you flown in a carrake yet. If not I can join you in a game session and be your top of the line taxi. And you don’t need to worry about dying in missions as the carrack has a built in medical bed
I just started this week, man this game is hard to learn. It took me like a few hours to learn to fly to get off the starting city. But this game blew me away. Unfortunately a lot of bugs and glitches I died like 6x for nothing. But this game is blowing my mind. I hope they will release it in the future.
Don't get too attached to your stuff at the moment. Also don't be afraid to link up with other players. Even just in general chat, let them know you're new.
The game gets so much better the instant you play with someone else.
from one update to another, the state of the game is different. 2 months ago the game was going really well. And since they released an update 3 hours before FREEFLY the game is all broken.
this game blows everyone but only for the first few days then you gonna uninstall it and you'll forget about this crap asap.
@@Voltomess its indeed a kinda boring after a couple of days. Those missions are a bit boring and there is no lore. And I get it it’s not out yet. I hope once they full release this game they will put more activity’s in to the game and lores etc. Now it’s a bit empty the game except how it looks a like of course.
@@jehsuwhbbsbbs350 in some day you barely touch the alpha content
As far as what you were saying at the start of the video goes... I agree completely. I installed the game for the first time last night, and was honestly blown away by the detail present in so many of the aspects of this game.
Here's the thing, you don't want to release too much stuff right now when they are still developing the engine and tech, because it is just more stuff you have to redo to bring up to the new tech. Like look how much the existing ships and planets and stuff has changed over the years, the whole graphics has had a massive overhaul.
Not true. Ashes of creation updated their entire engine to unreal five within a few months and have far fewer resources at their disposal than sc
@@cr1spbeatzplz and it is a much smaller game. That doesn't prove anything wrong.
I play since Squdron 42 had a massive PR phase and their Demo was playable onboard a Javelin, I guess it was a Javelin. Where You get instructed by Luke Skywalker.
And this game still blows my mind, things I discover to do while playing with others who are new and dare to just try out. Even if some updates seem small or incomplete in terms of fulfillment of their Roadmap in the Release View.
It's also sharing the experience, I will never grow tired of seeing a sunrise from space, blasting over the landscape with my dragonfly, nox or a cyclone, or just moving around my ship, hanging out in certain areas and just take in the view, the moment...
Sharing all this with seasoned players and new players is something very unique to this game. It allows things to go slow, to enjoy "doing nothing". And that's what I think is really amazing.
This game looks amazing how have I not heard of it! I will be buying it this week for sure.
Hey Olli, maybe you can do a collab with @Citizen Kate (and Will) to see what orgs are like at the current stage of the game.
This
i really appreciate the daily star citizen uploads keep up the good work
VTOL mode is probably automatically on in atmosphere because other wise the ship wouldn't fly.
No
That’s not how flight works in this game
What you also have to remind yourself occasionally is that the game does all of this without loading screens. As far as mission content, the persistent universe was never supposed to be a mission/story driven play-space. It's intended to be player driven. Just creating the environments eats up the majority of development time. As an example, an entire development studio is tasked only with creating the Sol system. You can imagine the level of development just Earth will require. Squadron 42 is the story based game, and they've shifted their writers to concentrate on completing it instead of creating new, more detailed mission for the PU. This is definitely a very long term project.
5:20 No, it's the Mercury Star-runner that is so Millennium-Falcon. It's also got above and below turrets, room to smuggle stuff (A secret passageway) A chessboard. Sleeping quarters. and it's asymmetrical. A lot like the Falcon, without looking exactly like it. As for it's being the fastest ship, I'm not so sure.
And the ship was manufactured from a City in the clouds...
3.18 with cargo rework is going to be incredible. From the monthly reports SQ42 is a few months from reaching Alpha. Might reach Beta end of year. I would expect a release around citcon 2023. The 2 year thing is a misonception and actually refers to the time they expect it will take to expand CIG to 1400 employees.
One thing I would LOVE to have for this game, would be a HUD for ground vehicles so that we can set destinations and drive somewhere…
That moment at 24:27 ... I knew it was going to happen !
Lol it's crazy I just watched this literally 3 minutes ago I almost wrecked because I thought one of the bars across the window of my andromeda was a part of the station and was strafing while flying and almost hit the station on the other side lol
i always watch all your videos from start to finish! your positivity and energy are the best ! cant wait to play ingame with you!
Some basic things they should add for continuity sake is the ability to launch drones that gives you the ability to view your ship in a virtual 3D 3rd person mode. So this would "explain why" you can see 3rd person out your ship.
plus they should give you a PDA on your suit so you can always access your ship remotely and give you built in VR/AR headset in your suit. This would allow you to open doors at a press of a button and remote control your ship or use various turrets remotely and at a distance.
They should also allow you to give a keycard/remote permissions to crew so your crew can have set permissions so gunner only get gunner permissions while an engineer gets engineer/gunner/whatever permissions and then allow all seats to access all parts of the ship so you can gun/control all aspects of the ship from all seats as long as the owner of the ship gives you the various permissions.
This would solve so many issues with running around the ship and controlling permissions of various crew. Thee is also no reason why you must be in the gunner seat or miner seat to control the various parts unless they have various specific controls that can't be accessed remotely like the pilot might have to be in pilot seat because its the only seat with a joystick/flightstick.
Talking about remote controlling your ship, I’d be happy with just remote opening my Carrack’s hanger for my M50 or open the cargo door as I approach the ship on a rover.
They need to refactor doors for hacking anyways, I imagine we'll get some quality of life after that gets improved.
They'll have that, but with 100,000 move parts they have to pick their battles
I love watching people see SC through fresh eyes. The things I take for granted are much more appreciated.
This vid was a lot more entertaining than it should have been. The possibilities within this game are mind-boggling, They can fit a hundred games within one game.
When they'll add proper quests, dialogues and actual gameplay loop I will be watching this game very carefully.
@12:32 🤯 aliens, creatures, yetis?!
Edit: great video. Look forward to more SC content. This game is gonna go down an absolute CHAD LEGEND
The one thing I would do a critique in this game is that all of those planets looks like earth... see a video of Patagonia, Argentina, you will see much more variety in one country..., thats what I love from No mans sky... planets feel alien, from flaura to fauna,from empty planets to full of life, amazing game anyway.., Starfield? They should just kept with elder scrolls, mostly now with microsoft elder scrolls 6 surely its going to be a mobile game filled with microtransactions, what a shame...
Wish I had known about the referral code last night... Just bought my first ship and going to jump in and try this out! I've been lurking this game for years and I couldn't stay away any longer. See you in the stars!
SC will blow your mind from time to time, between the game breaking bugs. I play it with 32" triple monitor, motion rig with Warthog HOTAS, it's out of this world.
There's a way to snowboard on debris you can get at desolate ship missions in space
@Olli43 adventures are pretty fun, just going out and finding things. Like the backpack filled entirely of Rakta dung that a friend and I have been filling just to stow on someone’s ship……..*cough* it’s gonna look great in one of your ships, lol.
The exterior and interior design of the ships are so sick. The worlds are great as well, I like the train system.
Even the treads on the tracks of the landing gear are modeled as is it's contact with the snow. Insane
I wish the trees looked less like normal earth trees. But still pretty awesome. Maybe they will make some custom foliage for the different planets in the future.
"Can't wait to see my screenshot folder after all this!" Can relate Olli, keep up the great content. When you inevitably fully tempt me to buy the game I'll use your code
I love how you guys aren't so loud.
Totally made it 'This Far' in the video... I get stuck watching others play apparently, lol. Guess it's just safer. I'm returning to the game too and have no idea what I'm doing most of the time. Nice to see someone else with the same issues, hahaha. The "Ski Ship" is sure to catch on!!
Jump on global chat and ask for a mentor, it's so much better to play with someone else who can give you all the info you need as you play, even just for fun it's a great experience
Best SC video I’ve seen in a bit. Cheers.
Any normal gamer: "OMG MY SHIP MIGHT GO DOWN THE MOUNTAIN!!11" Streamer: "What a cool screenshot! Lets see what happens when it falls down the mountain!" lol
Great video. I love this series and the coop with lvlcap. Gotta say though: please turn that headlight off
31:25 why are you worried about the rover exploding after jumping off a 50 foot cliff? You literally jumped the thing from orbit and it came out unscathed
Olli how often are you crashing in this game I can crash like 15-20 times in a row.. My system specs is a 11700K (stock not OC) FTW3 3080ti (stock not OC) 32GB DDR4, PCIe 4.0 M.2, CPU cooler is a corsair H150i and a THOR 1200w PSU. Running at 1440p on High settings, but I crash a lot and don't know why. Wondering if everyone is crashing as often or as much. Some days I only crash 1-2 times.
You and LevelCapGaming make a good team!
Built my first PC with an EVGA RTX 3080 and finally started playing… Wow, so much fun to play.
The problem with jetpacks: everyone would use them all the time. As with all convenience features.
Just add like 5 seconds max burn. It would help pilots get back in ships that have the elevators stuck 2 or 3 feet off the ground
Since I can't afford a pc to play or even buy the game. This is a great way to experience the game.
23:30 Nice parking now nobody breathe. Remember to wear your Epic Screenshot outfit!
G sensitive cargo that pays 2x if you deliver it to the center of a planet with multiple tunnels in and out of various sizes. Be cool to see different formulas to be successful and manage risk.
47:43 "So if pyro comes out end of the year...." *checks video age* **visible pain**
The headlamp on a lit space about ran me nuts
Figuring the game out is the game loop. I figured out that the engines need to be shut down the hard way i.e running after my ship 🤔
And a Laronite run with the Connie can make around 20k per trip 😆
17:33 the Tobi mount is quite bad, its just crappy sticky pads held on by velcro. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Oh Yes, Microtech's biomes look SO much better with the helmet torch constantly on. Cough. Always amazes me how many 'pro' streamers etc don't notice that huge bright spot in the centre of the screen, glaring out details and blinding other players. And yes, it is a pet peeve of mine, I put my hand up to that!
Edit: 14:44 ooh phew he turned it off....
Man imagine when this game is actually gets done and it has like almost no bugs and it gets a full release man i wonder when that day will be
19:25 This is precisely what I hoped Starfield would let me do. Still gonna play the game, but man, Starfield is missing out on some great features.
I've never seen such a contrast between futuristic technology and untouched nature
dude i love your enthusiasm for this game. I want to play it so bad just from watching your videos, I just wish my computer could run it :(
I want this game so bad, but my PC would explode even on lowest settings. So these vids are great for someone like me!
Can I just say, imagine this but Star Wars.
Too much of Star Wars sucks, now...
Fun stuff! 2 URSAs wont fit (as you discovered)... but 2 ROCs will ! Constellation Pheonix supports my surface mining operations.
