It's why server meshing (SM) is so important. Once you get to a solid 30fps, it's a different game entirely. They can also pack more players & more NPCs in while keeping that performance. These are the kind of missions we need but they've always been so hamstrung by the performance of one server. Can't have 500 people all meet in one place until dynamic SM but fixed SM will be the thing that makes it feel like a full game and less like an alpha. I'm telling you, 4.0 is the start of a new era in this game.
Yeah, during that first xeno threat it was fun. But sometimes when you see yourself fall through the elevator, die, 30k and then unable log in three times in a row, it gets really frustrating. Lately, however, it's been much better
Yeah that’s why I’m taking a break. All the mechanics and missions are awesome. It’s just the server performance and some bugs that keep it from being a good experience. Nothing feels worse than spending a lot of time and effort to do something. And than at the end the game screws you over by glitching or crashing in a way where you lose all progress or gains from that activity. Then it just feels like a waste of time.
It's going to sound like pure hype or hopium. But this will be more of the norm once server meshing (SM) is in. At a server 30fps, it's an entirely different game. They've been so limited by server performance that stuff like this just wasn't possible until the replication layer update. More players, NPCs, and at good server framerates. Not 500 players in one spot until dynamic SM but they'll get there. But it will feel more like a complete game and less of a janky alpha. 4.0 will be the start of a new era for this game. I am always loving seeing Kate's videos. Always an absolute treasure.
People like to say its a scam because its taking so long and the amount of money put in but they had to build lots of ground breaking tech and a company along with that, with sq42...
Great vid, new event is pretty good so far, a nice mix of ground and air. Shows a little more of what SC might be capable of in future. Keep up the stellar work.
nice. BTW Kate Try this New thing. Try Clicking on the contacts makers on the new Radar. it now lets the co-pilot u do so and zoom to. so its now like a command hologram for starwars
This is the sort of event where use of the Bombers would be so cool, however they definitely need to add in a way to avoid getting the crime stat in high combat mission zones. I can't wait for more of this
I hear you. I experienced a variety of ship mobility issues in the PTU while this video was being filmed (which i why I showed up late to that DC attack). QT failing, unable to switch out of SCM mode, and even no movement at all. The risks of the test server are ever present.
*_friend clips out of bounds_* *Me:* Nah, I can't get to you, bye. *Kate:* Like, based on where your marker is, it looked like you were... it didn't look like somewhere we could get to, let's put it that way. so polite xD
This video was awesome loved the commentary and the video was great seeing that the enemy was spread out outside and inside the complex was definitely something different and the fact that they had air combat over head was just a added bonus to it liking more like a invasion great videos can’t wait to see what you do next great job
Gonna be fun. Got to remember not donning any yellow/brown armor. Best to come out with an entirely different color scheme. And hope players aren't color-blind. That said, on the outside the armor freezes and you turn white. I think I'll do a different sort of approach, though.
This event looks pretty amazing, actually. Wish I had a regular play group. Not a great pilot, but I'm a decent shot on the ground. Might see if my buddy will check this out with me. Also, congratulations @craftium!
even with the bugs, your videos are always so cinematic and your narration is always on point, and your reactions are always geninue, everytime i see a new Citizen Kate Video, Everything else gets dropped untill ive watched it.
Looks like there was an advantage to wearing the Fieldsbury Bear helmet to identify yourself as a player. Maybe the Mandible helmet or other rare helmets the NPCs would not be wearing. You could relay that to others in chat. The backpacks would also work in that regard, as you discovered.
Haha, I hope that's intentionally the slicers schtick, that they make use of random ships that they steal for space combat - racers, industry ships, etc.
PU_SPECOPS is an NPC not a player, your first reaction was correct. The question is: why were there some friendly NPC's there at all, and perhaps they should be marked as mission allies in the same way that players are
My only issue is how they keep making these major events that affect *all* players centered around combat. Why not some kinda logistics based event like transporting certain goods to various jump points? It would've made a lot more sense to showcase and test the new cargo systems rather than what they did with the blockade event. Hell, during the blockade event, I'd often find myself trapped on stations, unable to escape because I don't have any combat-based ships and my dogfighting skills are complete ass regardless. Even if I tried to get out by flying as fast as I can in my Pisces, they'd just chase me down and blow me up before I could escape. I just think these events should have more variety in what their goals are rather than just combat so every part of the community can have fun, and that won't hinder players who play the game for other things than combat.
As someone who love Scifi and RPG but strongly dislike fps shooters I'm not super excited about the direction this game is taking. And yes I know, it hasn't really been a secret. Btw I really enjoy your format with the explaining in between gameplay etc.
That was stupid that you got a crime stat because the developers decided to give the bad guys and the good guys almost identical armor. They need to make it much much clearer at a distance who is a friendly npc, who is an enemy npc and who is a player! They have to implement not just a decent IFF system, but a decent IPNPC (Identify Player and NPC) system for HUDs. So you always know if it’s a player you are targeting or just a bot.
hey winterowl - don't worry this event will be coming to PU - the PTU run is basically so they can see what bugs come up and fix them before they go live on the PU :)
Game is Constantin Breaking boundaries and feels lose like a Game with more theme Park areas being added also cooler Loot is Added with pyro die frameworkmfor Meeting works die train wreck looks more like a train thats about to lesen every month and i like that
I remember Star Citizen, been a while since I've been able to claim a ship..... but i dont mind, why should they care about players when there are more hairstyles to work on...😞
It is coming closer and closer CitizenCon then IAE to get full of new products 💝Giveaway💝 to wait on my little chain 🎁ATLS LTI Concierge🎁 The development is accelerating and 2025 will be beautiful
Star Citizen really is insane... when it's working

Buy that same token. What we have now compared to what we had 2018 is night and day

My computer with a 4090 just still can’t play to many server crashes and I haven’t been able to
Play so I’m very exited when is optimized ;)

Well if people say it's coping, then you're coping by doing something you enjoy. What're those people who bash ya for it doin'?
They getting 30 fps in evo?
All the live servers typically between 2 and 5 fps.
Stanton is never safe :D
haha that is the truth for sure! also first comment today :)
💯
god damn this looks like an actual functioning game, with AI that actually shoots back properly
People like to say its a scam because its taking so long and the amount of money put in but they had to build lots of ground breaking tech and a company along with that, with sq42...
the ai is super annoying right now coz im not used to them doing anything lol
JT flashbacks hehe
When this hits live they need to get those party/mission markers working
Until then, equip and activate your quickflares! Easiest way to indicate yourself as a friendly.
@@jamiedavinci1328 Can I just use my equipable med beacon? xD
This video is probably the first video since last year's CitizenCon that has me genuinely excited for the game again. That looked really cool!
The Terrapin really is a warm hug during the cold winter days of war. She'll always be my best ship/friend in game. Thanks Kate an crew, as always.
Great vid, new event is pretty good so far, a nice mix of ground and air. Shows a little more of what SC might be capable of in future. Keep up the stellar work.
Excellent video, great aim, Kate... Videos like this show the potential SC could have in the future. Hopefully, we can all enjoy it.
nice. BTW Kate Try this New thing. Try Clicking on the contacts makers on the new Radar. it now lets the co-pilot u do so and zoom to. so its now like a command hologram for starwars
only finding out about this because of a youtube comment is wild lol
@@UnderdogSMOonly issue is that as far as I know you can’t assign targets with it.
what makes the co-pilot do?
Nice tip!
@@UnderdogSMO cpt foxyloxy does Alot of ingame showing of patch notes that's how I found out haha
This is the sort of event where use of the Bombers would be so cool, however they definitely need to add in a way to avoid getting the crime stat in high combat mission zones. I can't wait for more of this
If you focus bombing the turrets you shouldn't get a cs
Well you found one thing the ES is excellent for; evacuating fast when it is dying 😅 That airlock is very convenient.
That looks freakin awesome. I may just get involved in that kinda of missions
Meanwhile I'm over in my personal hangar trying to get my ship to move at all in the PTU. 😢
I hear you.
I experienced a variety of ship mobility issues in the PTU while this video was being filmed (which i why I showed up late to that DC attack).
QT failing, unable to switch out of SCM mode, and even no movement at all. The risks of the test server are ever present.
It's awesome to see party content like this. It's what I'm hoping to one day experience. Love these videos. Keep it up!
Cool video. Storming the distribution centre looked amazing and this event looks like so much fun!
"Save Stanton" looks really interesting !
God, I can't wait until we can do more non-combat things in the verse.
Congratz to the winner, The new content does look fun. Looks like great Org gameplay.
Valkyrie exists:
"Lets take the Terrapin!"
Poor Valk ... one day, it'll be the dropship its supposed to be 😂
*_friend clips out of bounds_*
*Me:* Nah, I can't get to you, bye.
*Kate:* Like, based on where your marker is, it looked like you were... it didn't look like somewhere we could get to, let's put it that way.
so polite xD

Just do like the 9Ts somehow do outside on MT: gimp hood with LEDs and glowy ties/jackets
A new class of dropships, one you drop itself and THEN get out.
I thought that was what the Atlas was for, LEO drops. xD
Thank you for posting this video 🎥🍺🍿🇺🇸👍. You have a new subscriber 🎉. Keep up the great 👍 work.
Awesome video, and this looks promising for the future of SC.

I like the InstallShield Wizard reference at 11:54
Very cool event, thx for the vid, sch great production.
Always nice when my favorite youtuber posts so many videos in sequence ^^
This is the missions I’ve been waiting for!!
It’s events like this that make me want to get into the game!
Hopefully they can work out some of the bugs, but this looked absolutely amazing. All the gun fire above as you approached on foot looked crazy!
such a beautiful game, glad i joined the verse
Looks like there was an advantage to wearing the Fieldsbury Bear helmet to identify yourself as a player. Maybe the Mandible helmet or other rare helmets the NPCs would not be wearing. You could relay that to others in chat. The backpacks would also work in that regard, as you discovered.
feels more like siege of Orison rather than jump town. I enjoyed watching.. hope its equally as enjoyable when it hits live
This makes me want a Terrapin all the more. :)
the new event looks great! i haven't had a chance to try it yet
Another great game play video., I really love the terrapin 2 I hope it gets a bit of an overhaul and some extra love soon
Aside from the missing markers and terrible colour coordination of the two sides, this looks like a quite nice event.
The Slicer! Oh course, lol. I do like that Zeus!
i cant wait for this game to be fully functional.
Engineering! "We don't have enough power for QT, need to power down the weapons!"
I'm already giving it all I got captain! -- scotty
While it’s a bug it’s kinda neat, hope cig does put some power pressure on us to incentivise multi crew for the resource splitting
Looks like a fun mission.
Good to know. Never wear the same color as the targets during a mission.
nice editing work
Don’t forget to heal yourself in such combat situations… running around a war zone with 42% is taking unneeded risks.
the automatic crimestat and mission failure is a bit silly
Haha, I hope that's intentionally the slicers schtick, that they make use of random ships that they steal for space combat - racers, industry ships, etc.
PU_SPECOPS is an NPC not a player, your first reaction was correct. The question is: why were there some friendly NPC's there at all, and perhaps they should be marked as mission allies in the same way that players are
@11:21 looked like the most insane flick at first😆
3.24 looks so good now

a nursa or c8 rescue is def needed for this mission maybe some tonks for cover fire
The distribution center really need a medical center like the Orison platforms.
let's go and save the stanton!
As someone who love Scifi and RPG but strongly dislike fps shooters I'm not super excited about the direction this game is taking. And yes I know, it hasn't really been a secret.
Btw I really enjoy your format with the explaining in between gameplay etc.
Thank you
Oohh kinda like Jumptown.
The Zeus looks so good
So what did you take the Zeus ES instead of?
And how do you feel it performed compared to what you would have normally picked in this situation?
Soooo.... Much... EXCITE!!!!
All hail that ladder!
This looks fun af
it's beginning to look like a game, doesn't it :)
Seems like the perfect mission to use a ground vehicle for.
Sadly the Storm is to fat to fit into the center so probably only Ursa and Lynx.
i wonder how this would work with ground vics have not been in the game latly to see the new centers
NOOOooooooo! Not Chief! R.I.P
Many "potential" for SC, but "potential" needs to progress beyond hope and ideas to functionally playable for it to be worth doing.
what ship are you running in this?
It is a ship-drop event.
13:30 wtf olmost killed ur buddy
Please no, not another broken mission...
That was stupid that you got a crime stat because the developers decided to give the bad guys and the good guys almost identical armor. They need to make it much much clearer at a distance who is a friendly npc, who is an enemy npc and who is a player!

They 100% need to go back to the old power management system.
Yay New Event!!!
this is a really good one too, the event i mean :D We were having a blast and we really only tried a small part of it :)
screw events they need to put all their effort to make the game actually run good
Slicers???? what next 3d printed ships??
why they do these events in PTU and not PU??
hey winterowl - don't worry this event will be coming to PU - the PTU run is basically so they can see what bugs come up and fix them before they go live on the PU :)
@@Citizen_Kate oh cool! thought it was strange they'd do events in a test branch but makes sense if it'll come to PU later lol
It would be an honor to fight in battle with you. o7
Well future looks good but still a trainwreck!!
Game is Constantin Breaking boundaries and feels lose like a Game with more theme Park areas being added also cooler Loot is Added with pyro die frameworkmfor Meeting works die train wreck looks more like a train thats about to lesen every month and i like that
Yeah, a war against frame rates 😂
so how was the drop?
Maaan it was INsane there wass bombs going off lasers and shit!!!! it was hell in the ghetto maan
An event that has issues... what a surprise... great vid though.
Who are the "Slicers?"
Reload bug... WHY is the reload bug still here?!
I remember Star Citizen, been a while since I've been able to claim a ship..... but i dont mind, why should they care about players when there are more hairstyles to work on...😞
i love you
Save Stanton? Save it from who? from us? from CIG? why should i care about saving Stanton. All Stanton has done for me is give me a sunburn.
why does always someone win that already owns the game
Imagen doin this in vr 😄
This is going to be really bad...
Every big event means nothing but garbage servers.
It is coming closer and closer
CitizenCon then IAE to get full of new products
