    The question is, will there be a space olive garden you can go behind?

    Does anyone find it strange that the Origin 315P Explorer, a ship designed for exploration has no bed, bathroom, or anything else inside it from what I can observe? Is it designed for short distance exploration?

    Pretty sure there's supposed to be a slide-out bed somewhere in there, and I would think a pop-out toilet wouldn't be hard to fit in there. If 18-wheelers can fit in bathrooms and beds, there's certainly a way to cram that stuff in there.

    I was thinking more that the toilet would be located directly over the reactor, allowing for direct, instant recycling of all waste materials.

    Also, allowing for hilarious stories of people finding drifting vessels where safety system failure has allowed for, um, "reverse" recycling.
    WHUMP. Free ship!

    I'm letting that thing vacuum out it's 'poop deck' through judicious use of the airlock before I steal it, thanks.

    That shit is thermally fused to the interior of the ship.

    "Poop deck" would be the only adequate description for the ship interior, forever.

    In an original concept drawing, the 300 series had a bed in the little corridor between cargo hold and cockpit. I hope they add that back in... If the Aurora gets a hypersleep bunk, the 300 series should too!

    Turns out it does have a bed that you can totally see by clipping the camera through the wall. Eventually they'll add the ability to activate it. As for toilets I've heard nothing on that end.

    Looks like one bed to me. That's what the futon in my living room looks like when it's open. It's hard to see the scale but if think about it, the ship isn't large enough for each of those 2 parts of the bed to be normal bed sized.

    So I don't know a lot about this game, but so far it seems to be Fish Tank Fortress 2: Collectible Hangar MMO.

    When do we actually see gameplay with these assets, good-looking though they may be?

    Decemberish the dogfight module comes out. That's when the pew pew begins. There will be more modules after that. Basically the game is coming out in pieces over time. Then it all gets thrown together for the full release.

    Later.

    Basically this. The reason we're getting this stuff at all is because the devs are not even remotely bound by the usual restrictions publishers place on dev studios, and they can use the early stuff to get feedback on what to do and where to go. So if the devs feel like releasing an in-house version of a piece of code to show people what is going on, or just plain show off the awesome stuff they're making, the only limit there is the work the feel like putting into it.

    The actual game won't be out until something like late next year/early 2015. We'll be getting piecemeal "modules" until then; I think the dogfighting module is next on the list, but like the hangar module, it's just a piece of what will be in the full game.

    so did that AMD conference bring in a ton of people or what? The alpha slot counter on the main page has been slowly trickling down for a while, but just in the last few days it's dropped by at least 3000 players....or is everyone making multiple accounts now

    Still cracks me up that Ben Lesnick guy, the community manager wears a Pilgrim Cross from the Wing Commander movie. That movie was pure cheese, but the pilgrim aspect of it was the absolutely worst part of the cheese, even worse than the stupid Kilrathi costumes.

  • yossarian_livesyossarian_lives Registered User regular
    The alpha slots number hasn't always been accurate. I think during July they had to update it to reflect packages sold during the kickstarter. Could be some other issue was resolved that dropped it further. Or maybe lots of people were impressed at the conference.

    No, the worst cheese was when the space bulldozer pushed the space fighter off the space deck of the space carrier in space and the fighter fell down. In space. Because it's more important for your movie to be a World War II movie than it is for it to make any goddamn sense, Chris Roberts, right?

    Honestly it's no more ridiculous than a space based military organization running around pretending to be at sea. Because the moment humanity starts to weaponize space the navy will step in and take over. Trust me guys it makes total sense.

    Well, they are the ones who know how submarines work, and there are a lot of similarities between being stuck in a tin can in a hostile environment where a hull breach will kill you via water and being stuck in a tin can in a hostile environment where a hull breach will kill you via vacuum.

    Jürgen Prochnow knows what's up. From submarine to spaceship - he made the leap and so will our military.

    You know the same thing can be said about an aircraft flying at high altitude right? But I will concede that Germans wielding weapons grade gravitas tend to add weight to any argument.

    I don't think aircraft fly at high altitude for weeks/months at a time the way spaceships presumably would.

    Actually with in flight refueling an aircraft that is properly provisioned can stay in the air a long time. In fact, Air Force One is designed to stay in the air for obscene periods of time if need be.

    Only thing that kept us from having bombers that could fly for weeks or months was that people are pansies and were worried that bombers with nuclear engines could ever lead to anything bad.

    Alternatively, if I had a ship with a large enough crew, I would figure out how to give them color coded uniforms based on their job. I'm thinking of keeping it simple. Maybe red, yellow, and hmmmm blue? Yeah.
