I love hearing the Manc accent seep through in his voice.
We don't have many contemporary game devs ;_;

The music is fantastic, wow.
Yeah, that was the banding that happens to make up for lag, but it kept repeating because the server crashed.
Yeah, sounds great. I caught a piece of a theme in there that's prominent in the launcher music ... might be the main SC theme?
Just head over to their Youtube Channel:

This video is showing the destruction model:

The dogfighting scenes should be up later.
edit:
You can also re-watch it on Twitch (dogfighting starts around 1:23:00):

This two videos [basically 6 minutes] were just gold. Everyone should watch it.

Awesome morning for SC!
Dogfighting looked really solid. It's quite clear that it was a good decision to delay it, especially since they can work on the netcode and iron issues out early in the cycle like we saw on stream. The effects were so good too.
The one thing I wish they would add that I haven't heard them talk about is cockpit visual effects. If you've seen any footage of the Elite Dangerous alpha, you know what I'm talking about. Turn down life support, it starts to get cold and the cockpit glass starts to slowly frost, cockpit becomes cracked if a bullet hits it, etc.
Also checked out the new Hangar update.
Love the new Avenger! It's got a fair amount of space in it too.
Cutlass looks good. I was surprised that there doesn't seem to be a bunk or two in it though. The cargo hold is nice and roomy for those "Search & Rescue" ops.
Wreaths are a nice touch, and they're huge too.
Shooting feels so meh in the hangar, but hey... at least I got to fire a gun in SC! Really just can't wait for the DFM next year.

There are two bunks. Here's a screenshot someone took of one of them: http://imgur.com/a/aIL2p#1 It's next to the toilet. It has netting to keep you from falling out during spaceflight.
Look five posts up. Also, the 'Dogfighting Update' video is up on YouTube.

Is that 3 hats on the main stick? Sold.For those of you still on the fence about which HOTAS to buy for Star Citizen, Saitek finally put up a site for the X-55 with some pictures & info. Looks pretty good.
It's like this for everybody. You've got to download that 4gb I'm afraid.

I know it's kinda sad, but I freakin' love the new fish - especially the shy crab! The animations are great.
The 'shooting gallery' is a waste of time for me though - it's ruined the 'small and cozy' feel of my one-ship discount hanger. Hopefully there will be an option to get rid of it eventually.

I guess 3rd time is the charm? Let's see if it work then. Does not help I only have a 1mb/s connection.
First-world problems and all that.
I really like the 300i in this color for some reason.
Black & white are nice too.
Is this also good for Battlefield 4?
Update: Patching worked fine for me, too.
I was referring, in jest, to the bolded part, the 1mb/s connection, which is none too shabby. I'll add a couple extra smileys next time.
Well, to be serious, having a piece of pre-alpha software stuck in an update loop is probably as first-world as a problem gets
If that's really supposed to be a lower-case b, it stands for megaBIT. 1 megabit per second is pretty awful for anyone.
I couldn't tell you, since I never fly jets in BF4.

Hey can someone help me out - I wanna throw some money at this game, but I really don't understand the price points. What's a good one that people recommend, that seems like good value. So you buy a ship? I played wing commander back in the day, but I have no clue about this

Check out the OP and this. Best value is the Aurora MR + game package for 40$. You get the full game, access to alpha and beta, the basic hangar and the Aurora MR starter ship. Everything you need. Only buy additional ships if you want to further support the development of the game. You'll be able to buy all ships with the money you'll earn in the game.

So, spill! What did you go for?
I couldn't resist the Hornet ghost
But am I missing something - see screens on everyone turning their ships on, but I get into the cockpit and nothing happens? Plus I see people are talking about flying their ship, how do I do this...feel like such a noob.
As per the last stream this will eventually be moved into a different area when theyve got systems in place to do more with the hangar than duplicate the same room horizontally.

You can't (officially) yet, this is just a static hangar module. A dogfighting module with an arena-like set-up for testing flight mechanics will be available in the next couple months

Ah sweet, yeah I just watched some of the dogfighting update on the comm-link. I did a search and also found a mod that lets you fly all the different spaceships.

Just a few pics of my hangar - Triple monitor heaven - 5760 x 1080 @ very high:
Can't you use abload or something else without compression? That last one came out pretty terrible at full resolution. But from the looks of it they would be really sexy.
And as for flying away, that requires game engine modifications where you'd need some dev experience for.
mh the red fighter reminds me of bebops swordfish.
would love a fighter with a similar design
I bought the Racer when it was available, totally painting it red and sticking a huge ass main cannon on there if I can.
There's so many sticks that look cool but wind up being crap or poorly made and break. Can't go wrong with this one, i don't think there's anything better around at the moment, even the $200+sticks seem to have issues these days.
The good old CH fighterstick
What are you guys using these days?
