Nyx announced, releasing next month!

Another option is to earn a ship from Contested Zones or Wikelo.

Are there any plans for supporting polls in PieFed or Feeds?

Edit: removed redundant question.

My guess is it will be below average. So worse than the Vulture.

While the FPS event for the helmets says you need to be in the top 3, I just played through 3 rounds and got the rewards whether I was in the bottom, middle and top of the rankings.

Yeah, it’s definitely grown in scope from the initial goals.

Wing Commander III was a lot of fun for me, and the main reason why I backed SQ42/SC. So I expect the game to have a lot of cutscenes and storyline happening between missions as we return to our main ship.

I am very satisfied with what we saw at the most recent CitizenCon.

The game won’t be for everyone, but I’m expecting it to have a good storyline and some fun action between the long cutscenes. Plus it should have a lot of the features that we’re currently missing in SC due to performance issues (like Maelstrom, fire physics, working atmospheric changes, etc.).

Something else I just thought of. This could be a smaller group where they’ll try to eliminate any leakers first, and then move on to testing Squadron 42.

They do, that’s the Evocati test group.

They recently expanded that group and relaxed some parts of the NDA.

I’m trying to understand the move as well. From what others in the playerbase are saying:

• There are too many leaks in Evocati (anytime bug reports or information is displayed in the private Evocati forums/chats it gets leaked).
• Inviting streamers to Evocati was a bad idea
• The Evocati group isn’t as active as it should be
• A smaller focus group that only communicates directly with CIG will make it easier to find the leakers.

From my own perspective: Usually with these early builds there are major issues with certain parts of the game. For instance, they will tell everyone in the Evocati group to avoid spawning at certain locations (or avoid doing certain actions) which might cause issues like the entire server system to lock up and crash. CIG then needs to have their Sys Admins fix up the servers so that everyone can test again.

With how large the group has grown, many times players aren’t reading the patch notes and they will trigger major issues that were supposed to be avoided.

With a smaller, more focused test group, they can push out builds that are quickly thrown together and even more unstable than what Evocati sees, all so that they can test very specific systems.

I’m not as tech savvy with Vulkan. What will the GI updates provide?

Seriously, an open source version would be awesome. You could connect it to your own server running whatever local models you want without needing to worry about that audio/video being processed by some large corporation willing to sell you out along with your data.

Ok, just got done with an Onyx facility, while I felt overrun at Lazarus, Onyx was challenging solo, but it wasn’t like the enemies we’re respawning every minute. I didn’t time it well, but it felt like a 5 minute respawn timer. It was doable, and the parallax rifle is definitely my new favorite mid-range weapon.

I would recommend at least taking a nursa with you if you can carry one.

This is the only code for this event.

Otherwise, you can earn a pirate spectrum badge by playing through Pirate swarm in Arena Commander.

There’s also an art competition for designing a pirate flag, the top 3 submissions for each category (2 categories) will win a ship/vehicle.

I spent last night taking on a Lazarus center.

I could barely even make it to the shuttle because the enemies would respawn every minute or two.

Every time I ended up with a Tier 3 injury, I would go into a building to treat it, and when I came back outside, everyone had respawned again.

If I had gone in with a team we would have been fine. But, solo, it was a lot. I’m thinking I’ll go back with a parallax or some other electron weapon that does a bit of area damage since the enemies are all so clustered together.

This trailer was awesome to watch… I definitely need to check out the Onyx facilities now.

Looks like you can complete the missions, but you can no longer earn the permanent rewards from them.

Oh I’m definitely looking forward to that. Hopefully it happens soon.

And then I’m also hoping that we get firefighting missions once the fire tech is ready. In that case we could put out fires and patch up injured NPCs in a single mission.

But given the work they already have in front of them, that’s a very hopeful wish.

Yeah, I definitely agree with you on a lot of points, I just figured it was a good video to at least bring up the subject.

I do like the fans as well. I figure CIG could just wave their hands and say that the aurora spits out some quantum fuel exhaust through them providing thrust even on planets with a thin atmosphere.

And, no worries, you didn’t come off as too critical/confrontational. All great points.

Yeah, Eve Online made it easy for individuals, corporations, and alliances to all assign reputation to other players, organizations, and alliances.

It was very easy to tell who you should avoid, and who you could trust (in Null Sec at least).

Kill reports are made publicly available for anyone to review, so you don’t have to rely on screen recordings.

I’m hoping those systems come online soon. We were supposed to get them this year (before they made the focus on bug fixes and stability).

Until then, if you’re using the official Medrunner portal, you should be able to trust anyone rescuing you.

Edit: grammar

We’re also going to go ahead and extend the Race for Stanton Missions while we continue to work on freight elevators throughout alpha 4.3.

Well, it sounds like the freight elevators are a lot more reliable in 4.3 and at least they’re extending the event because of the issues.
