  If you hear heard anything at all it'd be super muffled.
• 0:03
  Yeah, but CID. Already covered sound what I
• 0:05
  want bro. CID already covered this.
• 0:08
  They said It's your your shipboard and your armor
• 0:11
  computer that is. Extrapolating.
• 0:15
  Extrapolating all that and giving it to you so that you
• 0:17
  have a diagenic cue to interact. With your world that sounds very
• 0:22
  advanced. Why don't we have tinting
• 0:24
  windows for the windshield? Excuse me but like if if you
• 0:31
  couldn't hear in space then explain how the crew of the
• 0:36
  Ghost in Star Wars Rebels had to hide from the Imperial ship by
• 0:41
  being very quiet. Bro Dave baloney sucks.
• 1:17
  Welcome one and all to open Coms Radio, your Star Citizen call in
• 1:22
  show. Oh good.
• 1:26
  Being home. I'm back and the the kids ran
• 1:31
  away with the house while I was gone.
• 1:34
  They did a great job. I want to thank Duke later the
• 1:37
  second for taking the reins and his lovely partner Cosmic Hobo
• 1:43
  for for hosting the show while I was away.
• 1:46
  I was away in Europe. It was cold in Europe.
• 1:50
  It was everyone was speaking some like European language to
• 1:55
  me. Born speaking American.
• 1:59
  Well, that's what I told them. I said I'm I speak American and
• 2:03
  they they were like rude and and snotty and stuff.
• 2:06
  I don't know. I don't, I don't get it.
• 2:08
  I don't understand how that how people could behave that way.
• 2:12
  Typical, yeah. But other than that, it was a
• 2:14
  great trip at A at a really good time.
• 2:17
  Flew back over Greenland, looked on my plane window, saw
• 2:22
  Greenland. It was beautiful.
• 2:24
  And the guy next to me leaned over he was like hey can I take
• 2:28
  a picture? And I was like Oh yeah man
• 2:29
  because I was in the window seat.
• 2:32
  Snaps a few photos of his phone and for like 5 minutes we're
• 2:36
  just both of us are looking out my window.
• 2:38
  I thought you were going to say he like took pictures of of your
• 2:41
  lap or something. I thought he wanted to.
• 2:46
  I thought that was the punchline.
• 2:47
  He may have wanted to. Now those airplanes are tight,
• 2:50
  but we were looking out over out the window over beautiful
• 2:53
  Greenland and for like 5 minutes and then he leans into me and he
• 2:57
  says, you know what would look good right there?
• 3:00
  A Walmart. Oh.
• 3:02
  My God, I. Lost it, I lost it.
• 3:06
  He was Dutch or something. Something oh so OK, so he's
• 3:10
  forgiven. That's that's just their sense
• 3:15
  of humor. It's fine.
• 3:16
  Yeah, he has a good he had a good sense of humor.
• 3:19
  You you also have a good sense of humor.
• 3:22
  Duke Leo the second my Co host here on this Star Citizen call
• 3:26
  in show. You hosted the show the last two
• 3:28
  weeks. Thank you very much for doing
• 3:29
  it. No problem.
• 3:31
  My pleasure it was. It's good to have you back, you
• 3:34
  know. Oh, thank you.
• 3:36
  Yeah. You, you listen to this show and
• 3:38
  you would think, you know, these guys are idiots, but when, when
• 3:43
  Jar Jar is hosting it, no, there's, there's a lot of talent
• 3:46
  that's that's being put into play and with you gone, that
• 3:51
  that talent was gone as well. So all right, that's enough.
• 3:54
  Happy to have enough. Thank you.
• 3:55
  That's enough. Come on, did I?
• 3:57
  Did I earn my Amazon gift card? Yes, yes, You've earned your.
• 4:00
  You've earned your. They're actually blockbuster
• 4:02
  gift cards. I have four dozen of them.
• 4:05
  Yeah, they're good. They got good deals now, but you
• 4:08
  got to go to like. Where is is it Alaska or
• 4:12
  something? Alaska or something?
• 4:14
  Yeah. So it's still there.
• 4:20
  There's one blockbuster still there.
• 4:22
  Don't, don't. Count on it's in Oregon.
• 4:26
  OK, so there you go. Everybody buy the stock.
• 4:30
  But that's not what we're here to talk about, man.
• 4:31
  We're not here to talk about Blockbuster.
• 4:34
  We're not here to talk about my trip abroad.
• 4:36
  We're not even here to talk about how you did me so wrong
• 4:41
  when you hosted the show. What?
• 4:44
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I was the number one
• 4:48
  fan while while you were hosting the show, I listened to, you
• 4:52
  know, I listened to it. So I listened to the whole
• 4:54
  thing. I posted it and one of these
• 4:57
  episodes there you you were talking about how we were doing
• 5:00
  the the bar citizen and you said I had Apple laptop.
• 5:05
  Yeah, you're stupid. Fucking It was a French.
• 5:07
  It was a fucking French apple. Laptop.
• 5:11
  Yeah, Lay lay Apple. Bro, this show doesn't is not
• 5:15
  even on Apple podcast. You know, you think I'm going to
• 5:19
  have an apple. You sang it on top.
• 5:20
  Wasn't it a MacBook or a Lane MacBook?
• 5:23
  No, no. And I remember at the show you
• 5:25
  asked me and I was like bro fuck no dude.
• 5:28
  It just it's just Gray with stickers on it.
• 5:30
  I. Thought it was white.
• 5:33
  Well. It was white.
• 5:35
  Well, isn't I thought that isn't that exclusive.
• 5:38
  I thought nobody else could make laptops that color.
• 5:44
  I'm old. I see a white laptop.
• 5:46
  I'm like, it's Apple. Yeah, well, when you said that,
• 5:49
  I audibly. Gasped.
• 5:50
  But do you deny that it was French?
• 5:52
  No, it was French. And that it had weird fucking
• 5:55
  buttons and stuff. Yeah, they call them hieroglyphs
• 5:58
  in French. To the.
• 6:01
  Hieroglyphs, they don't pronounce the H.
• 6:03
  All right, but moving on away from your fantastic shows and
• 6:08
  and and and everything else, we're going to move on to Star
• 6:11
  Citizen. Yeah, this is a Star Citizen
• 6:14
  call in show. And what we do here is we talk a
• 6:17
  little bit about Star Citizen every week we have a question on
• 6:20
  the show. This week's question, crafting
• 6:23
  radar blueprints. What did I miss?
• 6:27
  Yeah. So what we usually do is we we
• 6:29

• 7:49
  Yeah, that'll show her. All right, Duke, looks like
• 7:53
  we're going to get rid of into things here.
• 7:54
  We have someone here in the waiting room.
• 7:57
  Oh, looks like Lord Nubis gets pulled aside for the moment
• 8:02
  because we have a first time caller.
• 8:06
  Dude, you gotta do the the sound.
• 8:09
  There's a specific sound for for the first time caller and he's
• 8:15
  gone. Yeah, first.
• 8:16
  Time and. He's gone.
• 8:18
  That's what happened. OK, so he's not a first time
• 8:20
  caller. He has been here at least once
• 8:23
  before. And I was like, I'm going to,
• 8:25
  I'm going to call this guy up and I think we should name and
• 8:27
  shame at this point. And each time right before he's
• 8:31
  about to be called up. Yeah, he backs out.
• 8:33
  Goes away. I think he's, he's, you know,
• 8:37
  the, the acorns shrivel up and he has to run back to his hole
• 8:41
  in the tree. Well then, in that case we will
• 8:44
  bring up our favorite caller of all time, the bluest of the
• 8:48
  bunch, Lord Anubis. Lord Anubis crafting radar
• 8:53
  blueprints. What did I miss?
• 8:57
  You missed the inevitable transformation into Star Wars
• 9:01
  Galaxies, the greatest game. Of all time.
• 9:06
  And if if Wicked can mention Sandy all the time, I will
• 9:09
  mention Star Wars Galaxies all the time.
• 9:12
  I think there's that's probably a safer bet.
• 9:14
  There'll be less lawsuits involved.
• 9:16
  Yeah, yeah, it's, it's not actionable.
• 9:19
  Unless you get weird with it. I I could.
• 9:23
  No, don't get the time. Don't.
• 9:25
  Well, not later. Well, get weird with it.
• 9:27
  Don't get weird with it. The point is, Lord Anubis is
• 9:30
  you. You might be on to something
• 9:32
  here. Yeah.
• 9:35
  Did you did you watch more apologies or is that that why?
• 9:39
  I did not see more follow. I haven't watched any content.
• 9:41
  I haven't done anything while I was away.
• 9:44
  I I the only show I watched was this one when I released it.
• 9:48
  Oh, I'm sorry. On the YouTube, yeah damn.
• 9:53
  So I didn't get any information. Well, no idea what's.
• 9:57
  Going on in the game. In in case anybody doesn't know,
• 10:01
  they are revamping everything and they're adding an actual
• 10:05
  structure to the way things are made and constructed and giving
• 10:10
  people reasons to go out and go get shit instead of just go get
• 10:14
  money, scrub, go get money, scrub.
• 10:16
  Like you're, you're going to actually like have a reason to
• 10:20
  get the good shit and go find the good shit in order to make
• 10:24
  the good shit. Oh yeah.
• 10:26
  And that's, that's, that's like a big step because up until now
• 10:31
  everything has pretty much just been credits, credits, credits,
• 10:36
  credits. Go loot, loot, loot, go search
• 10:39
  every box for 17 hours. And that's all you could do
• 10:42
  other than mine, which was just for credits.
• 10:45
  Jump Town. It was all jump town all the way
• 10:48
  down. It was just jump towns, just
• 10:51
  different kinds of jump towns. You you told me it was all jump
• 10:54
  towns it. Was all jump.
• 10:56
  Towns all the way man. You think you're getting red
• 10:59
  cards bro? What?
• 11:00
  It just turns into jump town. Oh, yeah.
• 11:03
  That's all it is. Yeah.
• 11:05
  Yeah. But now, OK, so we we got a
• 11:06
  little a little crafting, right. So this this episode we're
• 11:09
  talking about crafting greater on blueprints.
• 11:11
  Let's start with the crafting. You said it's Star Wars
• 11:16
  Galaxies. Is this crafting similar to Star
• 11:20
  Wars Galaxies? It will be, it is not yet.
• 11:24
  It is the good first step. The, the fact that you know, you
• 11:28
  have grades of materials that come up with better, you know,
• 11:32
  with, with better results is, is a good start.
• 11:37
  It does, you know, decay needs to be implemented properly in
• 11:41
  order to keep the, the wheels churning because you know, you,
• 11:46
  you can't have anything without planned obsolescence.
• 11:49
  So otherwise manufacturing just stops and there's no point to
• 11:51
  doing it because you've got a permanent perfect item.
• 11:55
  And in the real world, that's that's ideal.
• 11:58
  You know, we don't want to constantly use resources.
• 12:00
  But in a video game, yeah, you, you kind of, you kind of need to
• 12:03
  be a little wasteful, you know, a little bit more like the real
• 12:06
  world right now. You know they're not going to
• 12:08
  do, They applied this logic to the Zelda Breath of the Wild
• 12:11
  game, and I can't stand it. If, if like if you don't know
• 12:16
  the the new generation of Zelda, you can have like dozens of
• 12:21
  different weapons and Spears and axes and they all break and they
• 12:26
  all break like very quickly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:30
  But but that's that's necessary. Yeah, you have to.
• 12:34
  Not in Zelda bro. No, in a game that you're going
• 12:37
  to have crafting be meaningful beyond just doing something
• 12:41
  once, then it's you got to, they got a break, you got to lose it.
• 12:47
  Yeah, yeah, well, I had that and I only crafted like potions and
• 12:50
  stuff in that game. I haven't crafted anything like
• 12:54
  real yet. Any items I just keep picking up
• 12:58
  hob hob goblin Spears and bones and shit and stabbing people
• 13:02
  with them. But that's that's kind of The
• 13:05
  thing is that, you know, in a game like this, the good thing
• 13:08
  is, is that you don't need to craft.
• 13:11
  You can go buy it from someone else and do whatever you want.
• 13:14
  It's just now there is someone else to actually buy stuff from
• 13:19
  and a reason for it. And that that's the main thing.
• 13:21
  I mean, Breath of the Wild, it's one thing, but in a multiplayer
• 13:24
  like this, to have, you know, I want that peaceful life.
• 13:27
  I just want to be a crafter, right?
• 13:29
  I don't want to go and shoot people.
• 13:30
  I know plenty of people who would join this game if they
• 13:33
  knew that they could actually live like a merchant's life.
• 13:37
  Different things like that. And this is the first step
• 13:39
  towards it. It's very positive and it will
• 13:44
  only get better. So what's this Lord Nevis?
• 13:48
  What's this missing? Well, it's missing decay.
• 13:52
  It's missing the skill of the crafter.
• 13:57
  So, you know, I mean, in most games, yeah, you grind XP in
• 14:01
  order to get better results as you go, as you go along, even if
• 14:04
  you got good materials, you'll get better results because
• 14:07
  you've done it so many times before.
• 14:08
  It needs that. You need specialization and.
• 14:13
  But you don't. You don't want like a level, you
• 14:15
  don't Lord Nameis. You don't want like, oh, I'm
• 14:17
  like a level 82 crafter and therefore it's better for me to
• 14:22
  craft. I agree, I am an elite bounty
• 14:24
  hunter that gets the BHRTS and the.
• 14:28
  Yeah, but that's just getting access to missions.
• 14:31
  That's not I am better at crafting.
• 14:34
  However, crafting could be considered a mission.
• 14:37
  My mission is to craft this thing.
• 14:39
  I mean, there's a little bit of that that that, you know, I
• 14:43
  mean, do you should get bonuses for doing the same thing over
• 14:46
  and over or doing it better? We're getting more better
• 14:49
  results. You get even better stats
• 14:51
  because if you don't differentiate, if you don't, if
• 14:53
  you make everything classless, then crafting just falls as one
• 14:58
  of those just those things you can do rather than one of those
• 15:01
  passions you can, you know, invest in.
• 15:03
  And there should be other things like engineering and repairing
• 15:07
  and things like that, that would be better as you do them.
• 15:10
  You don't need levels as far as your combat abilities towards
• 15:13
  one another. That is definitely a skill thing
• 15:16
  that comes from within. But you know, you can't
• 15:20
  replicate that in crafting. You can't replicate that in a in
• 15:25
  a in a peaceful thing without having some sort of progression
• 15:28
  in the game because everybody would just be at the same level
• 15:33
  of crafting at that point. Whereas.
• 15:35
  With MPs you definitely have people who are much better than
• 15:38
  others as far as their combat abilities and that's in that's
• 15:43
  inherent, you know, so you have to replicate that.
• 15:47
  I think with crafting, it'll been organically, once you get
• 15:50
  into more complicated crafting, bigger industrial setups.
• 15:55
  I mean, some people will love the spreadsheets, right?
• 15:59
  They'll love having all the information on on where to get
• 16:03
  the best materials and how much they're going to need and, and
• 16:06
  what sort of resources they need for which fabricators and
• 16:09
  etcetera, etcetera. Whereas other people are like,
• 16:13
  no, like, you know, I, I might, I might put in the time to craft
• 16:16
  a suit of armor, but I have no interest in setting up an
• 16:19
  industrial base to be that guy that people come to buy stuff
• 16:24
  off of. That's where I think I think if
• 16:27
  they build in the workload it it could have its own skill
• 16:32
  ceilings as opposed to an artificial, you know bar goes up
• 16:36
  like I I have done this 100 times.
• 16:38
  Therefore, I am better at it than someone who's only done it
• 16:41
  once they. Could probably introduce a
• 16:43
  mechanic that requires some sort of level of skill in order to
• 16:46
  make it happen. You know, maybe a timing base
• 16:50
  thing or, you know, just your way of putting together certain
• 16:54
  things. I mean, we've, we've got all
• 16:56
  sorts of crazy mechanics that they can duplicate, I would
• 16:58
  think, but there definitely has to be I I just, I just really
• 17:01
  feel there definitely has to be something that sets a crafter,
• 17:05
  you know, who does it all the time and is now considered one
• 17:08
  of the best ones out there, you know, because if you can have
• 17:13
  one of the best FPS fighters ever, well, you know, you can
• 17:17
  have the best crafter, you know there has.
• 17:20
  To be FPS fighter because they just practiced, you know, they,
• 17:24
  they learned the insurance and outs of the game to make it
• 17:27
  happen. And I think that's what Chris
• 17:28
  has always said he wants it to be actually.
• 17:31
  It's got to be all skill based, not bar go up skill based, but
• 17:35
  just in the game, you know, playing the game and getting
• 17:39
  better. So do we see them making
• 17:43
  crafting gameplay? Like you have mining gameplay
• 17:47
  and it's a thing you do, right? You have salvage gameplay, which
• 17:52
  which we know is getting more complicated and maybe we can
• 17:54
  talk about that today, later. Is there a a crafting gameplay?
• 18:02
  I think there has to be, there has to be crafting gameplay.
• 18:05
  Because you know, who are you going to get all your stuff
• 18:09
  from? The guy who's going to grind it
• 18:11
  away. And he's not really doing
• 18:12
  gameplay. Like if you're going to be a
• 18:14
  merchant, you're probably crafting it all yourself too.
• 18:17
  So what? Is what is that gameplay right
• 18:20
  now, though? It's just like you bring
• 18:21
  everything to the list, to the machine, and the machine pops it
• 18:24
  out, right? Yes, yeah, OK.
• 18:27
  And it should, it should be more.
• 18:29
  I just feel it should be more than that.
• 18:30
  You know, you, you got to be able to be good at what you do,
• 18:34
  because otherwise it's just going to be a function rather
• 18:37
  than a, a loop. You know, I mean, it's or, or a,
• 18:41
  a way to define yourself. You know, I, I don't know, I, I,
• 18:44
  I just, I also think that, you know, the way they're talking
• 18:48
  about having, you know, stations that, you know, that they'll
• 18:54
  have like stock components and you can still get a gun.
• 18:57
  I think they need to eliminate that completely and the stations
• 19:01
  in different locations be stocked by the players.
• 19:05
  Yeah, OK. OK.
• 19:07
  Well, Laura Nubis, as always, you are welcome to stay on our
• 19:12
  couch. You just got to make a little
• 19:14
  bit of room here. You won't.
• 19:15
  You won't have to scoot over too far.
• 19:16
  The couch gets bigger the more people we have on it.
• 19:20
  Yeah, it's weird. It's like springs.
• 19:22
  I believe Duke this is the first time caller we have down here I.
• 19:28
  Think it is, I think it is. I think it's the first time I
• 19:30
  met this guy in in IRL once as well.
• 19:35
  Was that like Ohio, Ireland. Ireland.
• 19:39
  IRL Ireland in real life. OK, there he comes.
• 19:45
  Vertical Hatter, when you are ready, you can just accept that
• 19:49
  little menu there. It basically says that actually,
• 19:53
  I don't know what it says it's it's a legal thing.
• 19:57
  And then you can come on up to to the room Vertical.
• 19:59
  Oh, vertical was in in vertical is out.
• 20:02
  I don't know what happened there.
• 20:04
  Maybe he maybe vertical click do not consent.
• 20:09
  You know that could be it. We're going to try it one more
• 20:10
  time. Here we go.
• 20:11
  Here he comes, vertical Hatter. Love the goose, Love the Mohawk.
• 20:16
  This week's question. Crafting radar blueprints.
• 20:21
  What did I miss? My God.
• 20:24
  Well, unfortunately I I clicked on this by accident, but I
• 20:27
  actually do have opinions on this.
• 20:28
  So because I was Star Wars Galaxies a long time ago.
• 20:32
  So when you mentioned that it was looking like Star Wars
• 20:34
  Galaxies, I actually began to get a little bit more excited
• 20:36
  about what was to come. Yeah, here we go.
• 20:39
  Lord of the News has been waiting for this for weeks now.
• 20:42
  Well, every years. There are dozens of you.
• 20:47
  Maybe, maybe, maybe a few of us still on all those Star Wars
• 20:51
  Galaxies servers that are still up.
• 20:56
  But yeah, no, it it's, I was worried because in a lot of
• 20:58
  other games, you know, crafting is just sort of like gather
• 21:01
  resource, make items, so long as you have the so long as you have
• 21:06
  the skill to make that item. But it when it becomes like it's
• 21:09
  whole own economy, then you can have people who, like you said,
• 21:12
  become fully into the crafting profession.
• 21:16
  And like, that's kind of the area that I was interested in
• 21:19
  because I've always liked that like, you know, build a base,
• 21:22
  make things when friends come out and you want to get set up
• 21:25
  with good gear, you set them up with good gear and you still
• 21:27
  have the like sales to other people sort of thing that keeps
• 21:30
  you going and finding new blueprints is becomes kind of
• 21:33
  your game less than, you know, the like, I'm going to be the
• 21:36
  best FPS person or I'm going to be the best space combat person.
• 21:39
  Like I'm going to go out and explore and find the best
• 21:42
  resources to make X or Y or Z And like that seems cool.
• 21:45
  That's that's it's my jam when it comes to games.
• 21:49
  So. I don't know.
• 21:51
  So how? How can CIG do that?
• 21:54
  How can they make it its own sort of gameplay loop with its
• 21:59
  own reward? That's going to be the really
• 22:02
  difficult part for them, I think, because, you know, some
• 22:06
  of the discussion I've heard is like, OK, we're going to gate
• 22:09
  certain materials behind X or Y event and I, I get it, I
• 22:12
  understand it. But like, that means that craft,
• 22:17
  well, it may not be terrible because that means that crafters
• 22:20
  are going to are going to have to exist in large communities at
• 22:22
  that point, because people who are focused purely on crafting
• 22:25
  are not going to be the first, the people generally out on the
• 22:28
  front lines of things. They're going to have to really
• 22:32
  hammer down on exploration gameplay because finding new
• 22:35
  resources through exploration, other things like that is going
• 22:39
  to have to be a big part of it. Again, if we go back to Star
• 22:43
  Wars Galaxies, you had surveying, you had, you know,
• 22:45
  locating high quality resources on planets.
• 22:49
  And like you think about it, we we putter around some of these
• 22:52
  planets to look for nice places, races or other things like that.
• 22:55
  But like they're huge. You can't traverse these easily,
• 23:01
  even in a ship while you're flying around them.
• 23:05
  The the ability for players to fully map an entire planet's
• 23:10
  resources. I mean in theory if a Guild
• 23:13
  wanted to, I guess they they could, but it would take a
• 23:16
  concerted effort over months and months and months and months and
• 23:19
  months, maybe even years to even just get one planet.
• 23:22
  So. Is it crazy that I want the
• 23:24
  planets to be bigger? No, no it's not.
• 23:27
  I think that's a great idea. Make the planets bigger.
• 23:29
  Fuck it, make them a full side well.
• 23:32
  Make it as big as you want. Just make sure that there's
• 23:34
  there's meaningful things to do on them.
• 23:36
  Right, that's in CI GS mantra make it bigger, fuck it.
• 23:41
  Well, I'm talking about player cities.
• 23:43
  I know, I know. You remember how it was.
• 23:44
  I mean, Star Wars Galaxies is pretty much like like Star
• 23:50
  Citizen is not as revolutionary when you when you really talk
• 23:54
  about the concept of it being open world with also space
• 23:57
  combat. I mean, all that was in Galaxies
• 23:59
  as well. Yeah, but like you so so when
• 24:03
  you're seeing things like, you know, player cities being talked
• 24:06
  about and how that helps like merchants and economy and
• 24:09
  everything like that, like, I don't, I don't know if I mean,
• 24:12
  if the uninitiated have seen that work out and how it played
• 24:15
  out and just, I mean, man, you would find someone shop that was
• 24:19
  absolutely amazing, a legendary guy.
• 24:21
  And you knew like, oh shit, I better bring the money because
• 24:24
  this is going to be good. Right.
• 24:26
  And then also every so often you'd find the shop of some guy
• 24:29
  who had all of those skills, who was just puttering around with
• 24:32
  his friends and didn't give a screw what his prices were.
• 24:35
  And you hid where that shop was like viciously, because, you
• 24:41
  know, he was just doing it for the fun of it.
• 24:44
  But yeah, no, that's, that's, that's kind of the, that's kind
• 24:47
  of the crux of it. Player cities, other things like
• 24:49
  that. I there was for a while you
• 24:51
  could have like architects and designers and galaxies as well.
• 24:54
  I want to see if anything like that ever comes to or ever comes
• 24:57
  to Star Citizen, because like that.
• 24:59
  'D be wild too. How could we, when you're
• 25:02
  building a player city, how are we going to do city layout?
• 25:05
  How is an org going to organize their their town, other things
• 25:09
  like that? I want to.
• 25:10
  I want to know because when you just leave people to throw their
• 25:13
  stuff wherever, it gets kind of disorganized very quickly.
• 25:19
  Can I Can I Debbie down this? Sure, go for it.
• 25:22
  And you can call me Wicket if you want.
• 25:25
  I think they're that's where they're going to monetize some
• 25:27
  of that. I think they're going to have
• 25:29
  asset, maybe you can earn some and maybe you can do this, but
• 25:32
  they'll also sell like custom assets.
• 25:34
  Oh, I'm sure there's no. Way they're going to, Yeah, like
• 25:38
  buildings, roads, struts, like weird stuff.
• 25:43
  But I, you know, frankly, if, if what they if what they make
• 25:47
  money on is selling assets rather than ships later in the
• 25:50
  game or whatever. Fuck it that well, excuse me,
• 25:53
  sorry, I, I know I'm streaming. I shouldn't.
• 25:55
  It's OK, We're we're extreme. No, no, you can do that here.
• 25:57
  Oh sweet. Yeah, cool.
• 25:59
  Yeah, say it all you want, you're not monetized anywhere.
• 26:02
  Hooray. Well, I mean not Hooray, but
• 26:04
  still. Anyway, I know.
• 26:06
  It's good. It's good.
• 26:08
  We're going to, we're going to sell assets.
• 26:11
  Gonna sell assets. There you go.
• 26:12
  There's. Gonna be pictures of our assets.
• 26:14
  Actually, we're gonna sell JFX. It it was in that it was in that
• 26:17
  legal thing you clicked on I. Mean that it could be an
• 26:21
  interesting thing if like orgs are able to produce their own
• 26:24
  branded assets or have like yeah, even a even community
• 26:28
  things that eventually get sold. I'm I hate to lean back towards
• 26:32
  Warframe since it's a very different game, but they did
• 26:35
  have a community, a community skin store where they would
• 26:38
  every so often have like approved ones that made its way
• 26:41
  back into the game, which I thought was kind of a cool
• 26:43
  process. Will they ever do that here?
• 26:46
  Probably not, but like if they make their money selling assets,
• 26:50
  that's not something that's ever going to impact, you know, how
• 26:53
  people play the game other than its visual, other than its
• 26:56
  visual presentation and like it's it's something that they
• 27:00
  can continue to make money on because people want their
• 27:03
  shinies in game like cool, so. I don't want that as long as it
• 27:07
  doesn't get anything right. As long as you can still build a
• 27:11
  a basic bridge, you know, you're just you're just buying like the
• 27:15
  the special bridge, you get the suspension bridge or something
• 27:18
  like that. But as long as they don't block
• 27:21
  any game play behind that. You get the as opposed to you
• 27:24
  getting the like soul system style bridge or the, the the
• 27:29
  Seon bridge or whatever. You know, it's fine.
• 27:33
  I don't mind if they if they if they sell things that are
• 27:36
  aesthetic choices, if they start selling things where like, you
• 27:39
  know, oh, you can't get this particular kind of crafting
• 27:42
  unless you buy this one thing for your org, then that's not.
• 27:46
  Good. Yeah, no, that wouldn't work.
• 27:48
  But I could see them doing the because they talked about you're
• 27:52
  going to have to pay rent, right?
• 27:53
  If you're in like a high security and stuff.
• 27:56
  I could see it eventually being similar to EVE with their,
• 28:01
  what's it called, Anubis. You know, you can pay real money
• 28:03
  for it or you can actually buy it in game.
• 28:05
  Oh yeah, well, they had, they've already stated that they were
• 28:09
  going to be doing that with the with selling UEC, no.
• 28:13
  No, not the UEC in EVE. You got the what is it like your
• 28:18
  pilot license or there's oh to to actually pay for like your
• 28:22
  playing time, right, Which I don't want them to do a star
• 28:25
  system. This will be different, but in
• 28:27
  the same general idea where if you want to have properties you
• 28:31
  can work really hard to pay for it with in game money, or
• 28:34
  they'll give you the option to to pay for that rental fee with
• 28:38
  real money. You know I.
• 28:43
  Was going to say, then you get on to the you get on to the crux
• 28:46
  of like, well, how hard do you make that grind?
• 28:48
  Is it? Is it to what like are we
• 28:50
  looking at like Wicklow Idris grind for stupid things like?
• 28:55
  Are we looking in real life rent prices as of right now?
• 28:59
  Yeah. Definitely hope not.
• 29:02
  There's. No different.
• 29:03
  Thing rent, I can't get a break. Yeah, well, they they would give
• 29:07
  you, they would cut off access to that building if you didn't
• 29:10
  pay all the rent. And then what?
• 29:11
  You'd have to pay it up in order to start using it again.
• 29:14
  So you still keep the landscape. You just don't have, you know,
• 29:18
  the usability. Well, you said another good
• 29:22
  thing too, Variable, which was about the blueprints.
• 29:26
  So right now in in 4.7 when it comes out, a lot of the
• 29:30
  blueprints are going to be rewards for doing missions.
• 29:35
  And that to me was kind of worrying in that it goes back to
• 29:41
  one of those criticisms of Star Citizen, which is everything
• 29:44
  leads to to combat, right? Like I can't just be a minor or
• 29:52
  or a crafter and just stay peaceful.
• 29:55
  In order to get my blueprints I'm either going to have to
• 29:58
  engage in these combat missions or maybe buy the blueprints from
• 30:03
  people who are doing those combat missions, which I guess
• 30:05
  maybe that one's not as bad, but but still, I'd like to see those
• 30:09
  blueprints as rewards for non combat.
• 30:14
  Can I, can I disagree with you here on this and be
• 30:16
  controversial before we before we, we're going to have to go to
• 30:19
  commercial break very soon. But I think I think it's totally
• 30:23
  OK to to have stuff hidden behind.
• 30:27
  Like. No, because like that it makes
• 30:31
  those missions or those events more valuable.
• 30:35
  Like when you do an event in Star Citizen and you get the
• 30:39
  stupid coin, right? That's basically like an NFT
• 30:42
  like it's not it has value to you, right, right.
• 30:45
  Maybe maybe it'll have some utility later, but right now it
• 30:49
  has value to you and you have it in your in your hangar and
• 30:52
  stuff. But then you get like the, the
• 30:54
  gun or the the multi tool, the multi tool you get from doing
• 30:57
  the events. It's got a little utility and
• 30:59
  you got it from the event and it has meaning and it's special to
• 31:02
  you and you don't want to lose it.
• 31:03
  Why can't blueprints have the same thing where like you have
• 31:06
  to do something pretty specific to get it, and maybe you can
• 31:10
  only do that thing, you know, for these three months and then
• 31:14
  after those three months you don't get it anymore?
• 31:17
  Why can't we apply that same logic to mission types?
• 31:20
  You know, there there's one that you have to do combat for, but
• 31:22
  there's one that you have to do mining for.
• 31:25
  As long as there's a mix, I think that's fine.
• 31:27
  That was my my concern was that it seems like it's all it's
• 31:31
  going to be, all combat. Well, it's all jump towns all
• 31:35
  the way down. It's all Jump town, it's true at
• 31:37
  the end of the day. Yeah.
• 31:40
  Vertibul Hatta, you are more than welcome to to stand the
• 31:43
  couch. You could leave, you could stand
• 31:44
  the couch, you could do as you like.
• 31:46
  The couch does get bigger, but it is about time we bring on our
• 31:49
  next guest. But before we do that, Vertibul.
• 31:53

  crave. Anyway, off to the audience with
• 32:40
  me. Thanks all.
• 32:41
  Goodbye Vertable, it was a pleasure having you it.
• 32:44
  Was a pleasure. Vertable Hatter everybody Debut
• 32:47
  Debut guest time on the show. Best caller ever.
• 32:51
  Best caller ever. Better.
• 32:53
  Better than the hosts, to be honest with you.
• 32:55
  Yeah. I think we should just make him
• 32:56
  take over, put him back up here. Put him back up here.
• 33:00
  We're all we'll all sign off. Yeah.
• 33:03
  His voice is silky. Yeah, actually veritable.
• 33:07
  I told you, I think I met him and, and he's, he's he, he has a
• 33:10
  face for radio. Yeah, he does.
• 33:13
  Yeah, he. Does well, he left.
• 33:16
  This this next guy we're about to bring up plays a lot of Star
• 33:18
  Citizen also has a face for radio.
• 33:22
  And honestly, ever the optimist, it is wicked, wicked, wicked.
• 33:28
  Welcome to Overcomes Radio, your Star Citizen call in show this
• 33:31
  week's question crafting radar blueprints.
• 33:35
  What did I miss? I think we should make a talk
• 33:38
  about radar. Long time listener, occasional
• 33:42
  caller, and I don't know man, this crafting is kind of got
• 33:52
  mixed feelings about it to be honest.
• 33:54
  But not to be too optimistic with it.
• 33:57
  I mean, it's, it's a start, it's better than nothing.
• 33:59
  I mean, before we had, you know, .5 where we're just duping all
• 34:03
  our weapons and different components and BS and saying
• 34:10
  we're not really duping because we're paying a UEC to repair
• 34:15
  whatever. I think so far the the best use
• 34:21
  of the crafting machine is to make it a GIMP box and throw
• 34:25
  somebody in it and close the door.
• 34:27
  What? OK.
• 34:30
  You can, you can, you can lock somebody inside.
• 34:32
  It's like bounty hunting .5. Please describe to us what a
• 34:37
  GIMP box is describe. Yeah, I don't get your
• 34:40
  reference. And the concepts behind it
• 34:42
  please. Thank you.
• 34:45
  A GIMP box is. Yes.
• 34:48
  You have a GIMP, which is a usually a human person in a skin
• 34:53
  tight suit. You know, why are you going to
• 34:55
  say human? Well, I've never.
• 34:59
  Seen a blue? A blue GIMP.
• 35:04
  Even if you know I. Mean in any event, in any event,
• 35:08
  I mean that's a big digression in the in the nonsense, but the
• 35:14
  the crafting is I just hope to God that this is just like
• 35:20
  really, really early days and they're going to really expand
• 35:23
  on it because it's it's I think it still goes back to the
• 35:27
  resources with you have different met different
• 35:31
  resources, different ORS that have quality.
• 35:33
  It's the I think that's still the dumbest thing ever.
• 35:37
  I I think if they want to to make rare resources or make
• 35:42
  difficulty in crafting, they should make components.
• 35:46
  You know, if you want a higher level component or a weapon to
• 35:51
  be made, you use more rare components to make it, and
• 35:55
  that's your inherent rarity and your and that becomes the
• 35:58
  quality in and of itself. You know, then you make a
• 36:01
  resource that's rare out in the burst and it's maybe fought
• 36:05
  over. There's a competition to get it
• 36:07
  to find it. And I mean, it's kind of the
• 36:10
  same thing with quality. But you know, we're in a
• 36:12
  supposed to be let's this game slash SIM.
• 36:16
  It's like walking this tightrope between SIM and game.
• 36:20
  You know, just to get off, just to, to, to get into a ship, you
• 36:24
  got to, you got to get out of your hotel room, you got to walk
• 36:27
  down to the hangar. You got to get your ship up the
• 36:29
  elevator. You got to jump on the ship, you
• 36:32
  got to turn the engines on, make sure you have enough fuel.
• 36:34
  You have to talk to ATC to get out of the hangar.
• 36:37
  Slow down. I'm going to, I'm just saying,
• 36:44
  I'm just saying this is like this whole procedure and and we
• 36:46
  haven't even done anything yet. We've just left the hangar and
• 36:50
  now you got this. You got this crafting system.
• 36:54
  It's like OK cup of sugar, some basil, some salt.
• 36:59
  And a pepper. Yeah, it, you know, press go out
• 37:03
  pops a, a, a, a gun. So I mean to be fair.
• 37:07
  Though that is 3D printing that basically.
• 37:11
  I mean, you basically do that today with, yeah, you put in the
• 37:14
  blueprint, you put in the materials.
• 37:16
  Basic printer Go. That's not true.
• 37:17
  That's not true. You can just make components in
• 37:21
  3D printing. But like, let's say if you
• 37:23
  wanted to print something more complex, you'd have to make
• 37:26
  multiple components and then re and then assemble those
• 37:28
  components into. Something but, but I mean, but
• 37:31
  it's, you know, it's there. You see, you can see how this is
• 37:33
  going to iterate in the next 100 years, right?
• 37:35
  Now my my thing. Is I bet the military can 3D
• 37:38
  print UFOs and and all kinds of stuff.
• 37:42
  You know, we've talked about this in the past.
• 37:44
  I think that they should get away from this quality crap.
• 37:49
  Just make rare components and then to make more complex and
• 37:54
  more like more badass weapons or you know, the plus one sword,
• 37:59
  the plus three sword or the plus 6 gun or whatever it is, higher
• 38:04
  fire rate, more damage, whatever that may be.
• 38:07
  You have to get rare components, but not only that, you have to
• 38:12
  refine those components into better, you know, if you want
• 38:16
  better quality, like if you want steel instead of iron, you need
• 38:19
  to refine iron and coal and you get steel and then you have
• 38:22
  steel. Then you, you make something out
• 38:24
  of that. Not only that, to make it even
• 38:27
  to like to, to kind of touch on what Anubis said originally
• 38:31
  about, you know, where's the skill come in?
• 38:34
  Well you know crafting in most Mmos has been solved for 20 plus
• 38:41
  years. One of the best crafting systems
• 38:44
  from what I'm understand is, you know, Star Wars Galaxies.
• 38:49
  Wow, and that was you too, huh? Well, I'm hold on.
• 38:53
  Wait a second. I'm just going by what Anubis
• 38:55
  has told me about it. OK, see this is what I'm getting
• 38:57
  at here. What?
• 38:58
  What? I am correct?
• 39:00
  Suddenly he believes everything the blue guy says.
• 39:03
  If if another another person in the common here start talking
• 39:05
  about Star Wars Galaxies, I'm going to get suspicious.
• 39:07
  I don't know what happened when I was gone.
• 39:09
  You can still play Star Wars Galaxy Show.
• 39:12
  Well, the the point is, is that, you know, Star Wars was not over
• 39:19
  Star Wars Star Citizen was not created in a vacuum.
• 39:23
  They have all this legacy of all these older games to fall back
• 39:26
  on and to get ideas from, or literally just steal them.
• 39:30
  Steal the idea and expound on it and make it better, make it its
• 39:34
  own. You know, hell, World of
• 39:36
  Warcraft, some of the crafting recipes in there, you make
• 39:39
  things and you take those made things and make those into other
• 39:42
  things. I mean there's levels to this
• 39:43
  game. You know the I think the way we
• 39:48
  could do complexity and to maybe make some skill into it.
• 39:51
  First of all, this idea that you get the blueprint and it just
• 39:55
  magically pops in your head and now you have it forever.
• 39:59
  That's BSI think you should. Blueprint should be a
• 40:03
  physicalized document or something that you have to put
• 40:06
  in inventory. So now you have the chance of
• 40:09
  losing it. Not only that, you take that
• 40:13
  blueprint and you have to install it into your crafting
• 40:16
  machine and once it's installed, it's in that machine.
• 40:19
  So now if you lose that machine, you lose that blueprint.
• 40:23
  It's diabolical. I I think there's an easier way
• 40:26
  to call this. Instead of calling them
• 40:28
  blueprints, you can call them licenses.
• 40:29
  I mean, any manufacturer who works for someone, you know, or
• 40:34
  has a, has a license to manufacture, they'd only have it
• 40:37
  for so many. That's negotiated.
• 40:39
  And I think we can skip the whole blueprint thing and just,
• 40:41
  I mean, it's the modern, the modern world right now works
• 40:45
  with digital files. I I work in this in this
• 40:48
  industry but like. Don't you have to you, you've
• 40:50
  you've used the 3D printer before, right?
• 40:53
  You have AI. Own I own a couple you have.
• 40:56
  I do this for a living. OK, well when you design
• 41:00
  something to be printed, it's a document, it's a file, and those
• 41:05
  in that file in that quote UN quote blueprint gives the
• 41:08
  printer instructions on what to do.
• 41:12
  Yeah. And we also we.
• 41:13
  Also, and you have to install that data into the.
• 41:16
  Printer, right? Yeah.
• 41:18
  However, however we are also an OEM so we do sub licensing with
• 41:25
  other manufacturers, but they are licensed to to to make some
• 41:29
  of our stuff up to a limit so that my company we design the
• 41:35
  the. Prototype.
• 41:35
  Yeah. About Anubis.
• 41:36
  That's not the. Point other companies, but what
• 41:38
  I'm saying is you would be the other company in the game
• 41:42
  somewhere with yeah. Regardless, regardless, you
• 41:45
  still have to send them the file.
• 41:46
  Yeah, you have to send them the print file or whatever the
• 41:48
  instructions are, right? Yeah, the.
• 41:50
  You know, it's not some magic, it's not some magic thing that
• 41:54
  oh, you completed a mission. Now you get the the the the.
• 41:58
  I mean you can have both. The Mars off helmet, you know.
• 42:03
  I mean, I think it's just say, hey, you can print.
• 42:04
  Magically in your knowledge base now, which you know, when you're
• 42:09
  straddling this line of being a simulation slash game or a game
• 42:16
  slash simulation, where's the simulation in that?
• 42:19
  You know, that just seems kind of like Hocus Pocus.
• 42:22
  Now, before I forget, I want to touch on one more thing about
• 42:25
  the crafting thing and and where the skill or maybe a progression
• 42:31
  system would come into play would be some kind of tech tree
• 42:35
  in lieu of having like experience or something like
• 42:38
  that. You have to you know, you have
• 42:40
  to make so many of a thing to unlock the next level of a text
• 42:45
  tree. Then that would now you know,
• 42:48
  maybe it could be a simple of OK, I've unlocked to level 2 of
• 42:51
  the tech tree for handguns, laser based handguns.
• 42:55
  And how did I do that? Well I'm I crafted 10 or 20 of
• 43:00
  those and now I'm able to understand and implement the
• 43:03
  tech 2 blueprints into the machine or into my head or
• 43:07
  whatever the mechanic becomes. I I like that because you just
• 43:11
  exactly described how Star Wars Galaxy works.
• 43:15
  Dude, I just fucking. It all comes back to it.
• 43:19
  All goes back to Star Wars Galaxies.
• 43:22
  It's all galaxies all the way down.
• 43:24
  All the way down Star Wars the. Reason I feel like we're going
• 43:27
  to pull. Back the the curtain of Star
• 43:28
  Citizen and it's just going to be Chris Roberts.
• 43:31
  Star Wars, It's going to be George.
• 43:32
  Luke is laughing with old Baby Yoda at the bottom.
• 43:36
  Oh my. God medley going ha ha ha if if
• 43:39
  you played the game you'd get that one.
• 43:41
  In in any event, the reason this is all comes back to other games
• 43:47
  is because you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
• 43:51
  You just have to decide what wheel you want to use, how many
• 43:54
  spokes, you know, do we is it going to be a hard wheel?
• 43:58
  Do we have rubber? Do we have tires?
• 44:00
  What you know, is there an axle? What's going on here?
• 44:03
  This is what they have to come to grips with.
• 44:05
  But this thing that we have now, I mean, I guess it's a good
• 44:08
  start. It's better than nothing.
• 44:10
  We have something, but I sure hope they'd get away from this,
• 44:13
  this quality metal stuff. I, I think it's so dumb.
• 44:17
  I think where the quality should come in is in the refinement of
• 44:21
  the materials. That's another game loop that
• 44:23
  you can tie into mining, mining, refining, crafting, you know,
• 44:28
  the three pillars of almost every crafting system.
• 44:34
  I think they're just missing, you know, they're, they're
• 44:38
  they're, they're a little bit short on, on, on their vision.
• 44:41
  Maybe, I don't know if it's maybe they have that in mind.
• 44:44
  And that's just going to be progressively introduced to us
• 44:47
  as more of the mechanics are included into the to the game
• 44:52
  where all that kind of stuff works, because we don't have
• 44:54
  anything like that right now. From what I understand, that is
• 44:58
  the plan eventually. But that's what I would hope to
• 45:02
  see something, something kind of what I've outlined and touching
• 45:06
  on some of these all kind of mechanics of crafting,
• 45:10
  gathering, refining, these of all these are all solved
• 45:14
  equations. You know, it's just you just
• 45:16
  need to figure out what your recipe for, for our game is
• 45:19
  going to be and implement that. And, and I think as long as
• 45:24
  everybody's not real happy about it, that's probably the way you
• 45:26
  want to go. Well, if you're listening to the
• 45:30
  show right now and you're not happy at all, then you know
• 45:32
  you're in the right place. This is open Comms radio, your
• 45:34
  Star Citizen call in show. You can call in every week.
• 45:38
  We're live Wednesday nights. At what time is it 9:00 PM
• 45:41
  Eastern Time or? Eastern Daylight Time.
• 45:44
  Time. Yeah, we switch.
• 45:46
  PM in the correct time zone. Yeah, I had to wiki.
• 45:50
  You caught me. You were like the time's wrong
• 45:52
  on the show which it's crazy that doesn't auto change but
• 45:56
  whatever. There's a new caller.
• 45:58
  We have a new caller in the waiting.
• 46:00
  The way this works is every week you can come on up here and and
• 46:04
  make a call and call on in. We have Bill waiting for us in
• 46:09
  the waiting room. So Bill, all you got to do is
• 46:11
  say you consent to to being on the show here.
• 46:16
  It puts you on live and then all your your voices will be heard.
• 46:20
  Bill, welcome to Oprah comms radio, your star system call in
• 46:23
  show crafting radar blueprints. What did I miss?
• 46:29
  Inventory, new inventory. Did you say that that's kind of
• 46:32
  cool. Can you hear me?
• 46:35
  Oh yeah, right. That's.
• 46:36
  Right. Oh yeah, we can.
• 46:37
  Yeah. Oh OK, good.
• 46:39
  Sorry. I'm driving back.
• 46:40
  I had to drop my kid off at her mom's big New York trip tomorrow
• 46:44
  for her, so she's doing cool stuff.
• 46:47
  Nice. But yeah, I basically spent all
• 46:52
  day, you know, working, of course, doing the working thing.
• 46:57
  That's what Bill's a working man.
• 47:00
  Watching the PTU wave 1 stuff people were putting out and I
• 47:07
  mean, yeah, right now it's buggy as hell, but it's wave 1.
• 47:12
  I don't think we've ever had a wave 1 to live PTO jump.
• 47:16
  But yeah, I'm excited for it. It looks.
• 47:19
  Oh, I want to get into that QV station so bad.
• 47:22
  All I want to do is run around and shoot people and I don't
• 47:26
  even want to get into the giant rock.
• 47:28
  I don't care about the giant rock.
• 47:31
  Go ahead. What's in the QV station?
• 47:35
  The QV station and Nick's, it's like there's like 120 asteroid
• 47:40
  bases, if you will, and you got to turn the power back on in it,
• 47:44
  and then it cracks open, this giant asteroid and then you fly
• 47:48
  inside the asteroid and mine a bunch of minables.
• 47:53
  Oh wow. And it's supposed to be like
• 47:55
  super high quality. Like the dude I was watching
• 47:57
  today, he got like 900 rated, some sort of metal.
• 48:03
  I don't know what the hell it was, but something in there.
• 48:07
  I watched one this morning and they had like 500 quality only
• 48:11
  or 600 maybe it wasn't. Everybody's really disappointed.
• 48:16
  Yeah, so I was watching. I don't know, I don't, you know,
• 48:18
  whatever. I'm going to shot him out.
• 48:20
  Ollie, 43 and he got in there, took him about 9 hours, a couple
• 48:25
  different tries, but he got in the rock and one of them had
• 48:29
  like a 900 quality deal on it. He didn't do crafting or
• 48:33
  anything with that material yet 'cause I'm assuming he was a
• 48:37
  tire boy. But yeah, I'm real excited for
• 48:41
  it. The, when it comes to the, the
• 48:43
  ship armor and stuff like that, I don't really know a lot about
• 48:47
  that 'cause I think the ship armor is changing and they're
• 48:49
  changing the way some of the guns do gun things.
• 48:54
  But overall I'm, I just, I want to play in the PTU, but I don't
• 49:00
  want to subscribe. I'm sick of subscriptions, I'm
• 49:03
  sure as everyone else is. Yep.
• 49:08
  Too many to even know what I've got.
• 49:10
  And like, I don't, I don't know Wave 2.
• 49:12
  What does Wave 2 consist of? How do you get into that?
• 49:14
  Is that another subscriber deal? Like if you play like a ton.
• 49:24
  Based off play time, that makes sense.
• 49:27
  Or was it if it maybe it's play time and post to the issue
• 49:31
  council or something like that? Yep.
• 49:34
  Nope, I think you're right. I've heard that somewhere.
• 49:35
  I wasn't sure which wave that was for, but yeah, that tracks.
• 49:39
  That makes a lot of sense. The radar stuff you mentioned,
• 49:43
  what? What exactly was trading
• 49:45
  changing with the radar? Different qualities of radar and
• 49:52
  how much energy you give it will now impact your auto aim how and
• 49:58
  in the radical and and I think that I don't know if it's
• 50:01
  detection range and the auto aim or if it's one or one or the
• 50:05
  other, but that's not. It.
• 50:07
  It definitely detection range. Yeah, the the power pips right,
• 50:12
  you can assign more to radar and then did they also say they were
• 50:16
  physicalizing the radar component or no, Yeah, it.
• 50:19
  Can be destroyed. They're working on it but also
• 50:22
  it but the different radar sizes will give you the aim assisted
• 50:26
  different ranges. Some of our oldies did some
• 50:29
  testing and radars can now be destroyed and then then you
• 50:34
  don't have a pip. You can.
• 50:35
  You may still be able to fire, but you're just not going to
• 50:38
  have a pip. That's interesting.
• 50:40
  That's real sweaty. I'm going to destroy this guy's
• 50:42
  radar so you can't target me. But yeah, I mean, it sounds cool
• 50:46
  if if they like, if you get a big one in there with a bunch of
• 50:49
  power, maybe I can finally shoot other ships in my ship.
• 50:53
  I don't know, I've never been good at that, but maybe it'll
• 50:56
  help me, maybe it won't 'cause they'll just destroy it right
• 51:00
  away. Who knows?
• 51:01
  Either way, I try to stay away from that stuff.
• 51:03
  You know, pacifist Bill. But and then I did see the
• 51:09
  tractor beam, like the info when you grab an object, it tells you
• 51:14
  exactly what's in it. How much is in there with the
• 51:18
  percentage? So like if the box is 100% full,
• 51:21
  it shows 100, if it's 95%, whatever.
• 51:24
  And then it tells you also the average quality of the material
• 51:27
  in the box when you have the tractor beam lifted in the air,
• 51:30
  which is pretty cool. Nice.
• 51:34
  The crafter thing, the fabricator deal, I saw couple
• 51:38
  people using that and one of the bonuses you got from using like
• 51:41
  a 600 quality aluminum for a pistol was I think it was -10%
• 51:47
  for recoil plus 14% for recoil suppressiveness or something.
• 51:53
  And like like the that increases on the weapons was pretty cool.
• 51:58
  Yeah, they were going much more aggressive than that than I
• 52:01
  thought they would, which I think is is neat.
• 52:04
  Hopefully, you know, they might have to tweak it and balance it
• 52:06
  a little bit once everybody starts walking around with with
• 52:09
  crafted weapons, but. I think that might be on purpose
• 52:13
  to get more people to use it. Yeah, that could be because
• 52:18
  otherwise why wouldn't we just go to the store?
• 52:21
  Yeah, exactly. And you figure if you craft
• 52:23
  yourself something with all high, high materials and then
• 52:27
  also throw on top of a a compensator, laser sight, fancy
• 52:32
  scope, I mean, we're going to be walking around with no recoil.
• 52:37
  How cool is that? If they stack, I don't know if
• 52:40
  they'll stack with the compensator benefits and all
• 52:43
  that jazz. Or you could run silencers and
• 52:46
  it wouldn't reduce the stats as much.
• 52:48
  I mean, it all sounds like good stuff, fun stuff, something to
• 52:54
  do. Yeah, yeah, that's what I spend
• 52:57
  a lot of my time doing until I until I think I've perfected it,
• 53:01
  you know, until I've perfected my gun and then it's like I'll
• 53:04
  never touch another gun. You know.
• 53:07
  Once I have the one I like, which is yeah, maybe I will
• 53:10
  though I'll have different kinds of guns and stuff, but.
• 53:12
  Sure. And then now you think like,
• 53:14
  since you die and you just respawn at your spawn plate with
• 53:17
  your stuff other than what's in your bag, I mean, 'cause like
• 53:22
  you do when you die like that, and if you have a gun on the
• 53:24
  side of your bag, do you lose that gun too or no?
• 53:28
  You keep that gun, right? I think they're doing away with
• 53:31
  that. Pain, pain.
• 53:33
  They're going to go back. To letting people steal from
• 53:37
  you. I hate that so much because I'm
• 53:41
  a big PV ear in rust. I.
• 53:45
  Don't know how many people here know what Rust is, but oh.
• 53:48
  Yeah, now how? Old is rust.
• 53:50
  How do you play rust? PVPVP or PVE?
• 53:54
  E environment I don't like playing against people.
• 53:56
  I can't shoot people, but not good at it and.
• 53:59
  I lose all. Oh, is that even?
• 54:00
  Possible. They're servers.
• 54:03
  Really. Yeah, hang on one second here.
• 54:05
  I just pulled in. Let me go ahead and go on to
• 54:07
  someone else. I'm going to jump on my
• 54:08
  computer. No, this is perfect.
• 54:11
  So while perfect Bill and pacifist Bill and I perfect.
• 54:15
  Perfect, Bill. Perfect.
• 54:16
  No, perfect. Damn it, I've shown my card some
• 54:21
  blushing. No, but so here on Open Comms
• 54:25
  Radio, we like to give back to the community and that's why we
• 54:30
  have a giveaway going on right now.
• 54:31
  I don't know if you heard about this Pacifist Bill.
• 54:34
  Did you see the giveaway? Is that in the discord?
• 54:38
  It's in the discord. You can go down this channel
• 54:40
  called giveaway. All you got to do is you can
• 54:43
  search for Open Comms Radio Discord.
• 54:45
  It's also in the descriptions on every channel.
• 54:47
  Pop into our discord, you can head in the giveaway.
• 54:50
  I'm giving away two games. Two it's the same game, but it's
• 54:56
  2 copies of the same game to to our listeners.
• 55:00
  Anyone can enter the giveaway. All you have to do is subscribe

  I can't log into the back end of Deezer I.
• 55:24
  Don't even know what that means. I don't even know what that is,
• 55:28
  right? So you could just say you're on
• 55:30
  Deezer and I'll just have to believe you.
• 55:34
  I'm a Deezer supporter. So anyway, if you do that, you
• 55:40
  might get a free copy of a of a really cool game that I've been
• 55:42
  playing. I played for a little bit and it
• 55:44
  was a lot of fun. A solid few hours into it.
• 55:48
  So there you go. Hold this over till 4.7. 4.7
• 55:54
  could be any day now, Bill. No.
• 55:56
  Come on Wave 1, right to life. No way.
• 56:00
  Come on, give. Me, it seems big, but it's the
• 56:03
  11th I I could say I could see it in a week.
• 56:05
  Maybe. What does that mean?
• 56:06
  The date. Yeah, today's the March 11th.
• 56:11
  It's a Wednesday. So do they do patches usually
• 56:14
  come out mid month or? The the last, last month's, the
• 56:20
  last two months. Patches came out Wednesday
• 56:24
  because we were filming the show.
• 56:27
  Yeah. Interesting.
• 56:28
  Usually mid month. OK Yeah.
• 56:32
  So we couldn't talk. We we like, we got to talk about
• 56:34
  it right away. And then the other day it was
• 56:36
  like people were playing while we were doing the show.
• 56:38
  Oh. OK.
• 56:40
  Yeah, it was fun. All right, guys.
• 56:43
  So this week we talked a lot about crafting.
• 56:47
  We talked a little bit about radar, we talked a little bit
• 56:49
  about blueprints, but we haven't talked about new ships because
• 56:56
  there aren't any to talk about. As they say, whether they don't
• 56:58
  help, these are new shifts. When's the last time this has
• 57:02
  happened? The new ship came out without a
• 57:05
  patch. Well, we haven't seen that.
• 57:08
  I mean, the patch isn't released.
• 57:09
  Maybe there's a secret surprise ship?
• 57:12
  Do you think so? No, not really.
• 57:14
  I was just saying that 500. I I saw somebody.
• 57:17
  Today. Someone talked about the Aurora
• 57:22
  Mark 2. Oh yeah, is that in the patch?
• 57:28
  That could be coming with this. I mean, that's the Aurora.
• 57:33
  So it's not. That's the origin 500I.
• 57:35
  That'd be cool too. Origin's cool.
• 57:40
  It's very interesting. It's very quiet.
• 57:42
  We haven't and and it it is spring, we do have April Fool's
• 57:48
  Day coming. They always do something for
• 57:49
  April Fool's Day. That's the April first.
• 57:53
  Remember they had the Raptor that was an April Fool's joke.
• 57:57
  And then the next year they're like, hey, we're we're actually
• 57:59
  going to make that. And maybe you'll be able to
• 58:01
  drive it. But we've never had such a long
• 58:04
  stint without any ships to talk about well.
• 58:08
  We had the Hermes last wipe or last.
• 58:11
  Yeah, yeah. But that was also like they
• 58:14
  talked about it for like, I don't know, it feels like a
• 58:17
  couple months and then it came out and we haven't had anything
• 58:20
  since then. What about ship rentals?
• 58:24
  Do ship rentals get updated every time?
• 58:27
  Well they had the origin ship rental.
• 58:32
  No that was they had the RSI in game ship rentals.
• 58:36
  The. Origin sale, Yeah.
• 58:38
  Because because I know this with this patch, there's the Shiv.
• 58:44
  You can rent that or no. You can buy it from I think
• 58:51
  Teaches or Wicklow or somebody. I don't.
• 58:55
  Know so you can buy the ship in game so that's kind of cool.
• 59:03
  Do you, do you think the lack of a ship sale, I mean what feels
• 59:08
  to me like a lull, but would you everyone would agree we're in
• 59:11
  kind of a ship lull the last couple of months?
• 59:16
  Am I crazy? I think I can't say much because
• 59:19
  the Hermes is awesome. I love that thing, but.
• 59:21
  Go on, Sir. We did, I don't.
• 59:23
  We did get the Hermes, but like, what else?
• 59:26
  And and they're not teasing anything else and they're not
• 59:28
  advertising anything else. So do you, do you think this is
• 59:31
  maybe a sign of what's to come? It's a sign that they're going
• 59:35
  to complete some of the stuff that's already in the pipeline.
• 59:38
  That'd be. Nice for a change.
• 59:40
  Yeah, and I would be OK with like sneaky releases, right?
• 59:44
  Like not tell anybody and just be like bang, Origin 500.
• 59:47
  Here you go boys. Go play Iron.
• 59:49
  Ironclad. Yeah, you can Ironclad in there.
• 59:54
  Everybody would go crazy. Ironclad's out.
• 59:57
  Ironclad's out. Well, I think somebody's.
• 1:00:00
  Is it in Gray box now? I don't know.
• 1:00:02
  I think it is, yeah. It's it's way up there.
• 1:00:05
  Anyway, I'll just say keep on keeping on.
• 1:00:09
  They've had those, those last couple Iscs where they talked a
• 1:00:12
  bunch of stuff was kind of, you know, kind of getting back to
• 1:00:18
  the, to the letting the, the, the developers kind of talk
• 1:00:22
  about stuff a little bit more openly and, and their process
• 1:00:27
  and how things are going and stuff.
• 1:00:30
  It. It seemed like over the last
• 1:00:32
  couple like years gone by, everybody, you know, they felt
• 1:00:35
  like you, you could tell that they wanted to talk, but they
• 1:00:38
  didn't know what they could say or what they couldn't say.
• 1:00:41
  And I think that's kind of loosening a little bit now.
• 1:00:44
  Is the IFC, is that the big like convention thing they do in the
• 1:00:48
  summer? No, that's the the twitch, the
• 1:00:50
  weekly or semi weekly when Jared goes live and stuff.
• 1:00:55
  Oh. Inside Star Citizen.
• 1:00:58
  And then OK, gotcha. Hey, can we, can we talk about
• 1:01:03
  the last, not a well one of the last two SCLS?
• 1:01:06
  Can we talk about the sound one for a second?
• 1:01:09
  Can we talk about that dude's hair?
• 1:01:11
  He should have kept us down. I love that, but we were.
• 1:01:16
  Talking about that dude like something about Mary.
• 1:01:19
  Yeah, yeah, we were talking about him.
• 1:01:21
  Something about Mary. Is that is that hair gel?
• 1:01:30
  Yeah, so sound guy's back. And when we first met sound guy,
• 1:01:36
  we should know his name, especially if we're gonna if
• 1:01:38
  we're gonna tease him. But.
• 1:01:41
  Sound so hyped. Was well, he was hyping himself,
• 1:01:45
  right? Yeah.
• 1:01:46
  We're gonna do this. We're gonna do this so quickly.
• 1:01:49
  You know, I can't do the voice. Duke can do the voice.
• 1:01:51
  He pulled back. I can do the voice pull.
• 1:01:54
  Back a little bit, his hair, his hair is sticking up.
• 1:01:57
  He's like, oh wow. And.
• 1:01:59
  And. He just did a year at CIG,
• 1:02:00
  that's why he. Did the year at CIG under the
• 1:02:03
  table trying to plug in the soundboard and his hair all.
• 1:02:06
  Fucked up with. Static.
• 1:02:08
  Yes. Yes, he's.
• 1:02:11
  See, we, we said, we said he would break and he's broken.
• 1:02:15
  And the kicker was when someone asked a question about the
• 1:02:19
  realistic sound mode and they were just like, yeah, we're not
• 1:02:22
  doing that. It's like.
• 1:02:24
  Oh jeez. I was like, dude, come on, come
• 1:02:30
  on everybody you know, which is a real disappointment for me.
• 1:02:34
  It really the the realistic sound mode is the sound mode I
• 1:02:37
  wanted. That's the one I'm playing in.
• 1:02:40
  I don't care about your cinematic sounds.
• 1:02:44
  Just turn your headset off. No, but if you get you can like
• 1:02:50
  hear it you. Know just put on some noise
• 1:02:51
  cancelling headphones and use your regular speakers.
• 1:02:55
  Yeah, yeah. So it's all muffled.
• 1:02:57
  Or we could just we could just help you go deaf.
• 1:02:59
  We'll say that giant laser beam you use to cut the rock open,
• 1:03:03
  the asteroid was loud as hell. So you may like that, you may
• 1:03:10
  not, but it was loud as shit. Like I couldn't believe it.
• 1:03:14
  I was like, Oh my God, no wonder they had the sound team.
• 1:03:17
  Come on now. I I pulled up the Star Citizen
• 1:03:20
  YouTube on my TV real quick. I see what you're talking about.
• 1:03:23
  The ship audio team one. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:25
  Yeah, that's probably why they did that.
• 1:03:27
  They're like, hey, we're going to, we're going to hike these
• 1:03:29
  guys up so they can blow out their eardrums when they do this
• 1:03:31
  big ass, stupid laser thing. Yeah, so I mean, I'm obviously
• 1:03:39
  I'm, I'm optimistic, I'm happy. They do have a lot of sounds to
• 1:03:42
  go through clearly. And if they're they're redoing
• 1:03:47
  everything, I don't know it, it seems it seems slow but
• 1:03:54
  purposeful. I liked during that when they
• 1:03:58
  were like, oh, what's his name? Can someone look up his name for
• 1:04:03
  me? Because I, I, I stand up hair
• 1:04:07
  guy, they're like, oh. Simon Gershon.
• 1:04:09
  Simon Gershon Simon just like, makes noises with his mouth.
• 1:04:15
  I'm. Looking for images.
• 1:04:19
  He's had a lot of bad hair days. Yeah, I think that's his style.
• 1:04:23
  But like, he like, he just like makes noises with his mouth and
• 1:04:26
  like, tells us what it sounds like.
• 1:04:28
  We just do it. And I'm like, dude, this is like
• 1:04:29
  the most eccentric person. Like, is he wearing a
• 1:04:33
  turtleneck? I don't know.
• 1:04:35
  That's what you want, man. You want somebody with, with a,
• 1:04:39
  with a brain that works different, you know, bring in
• 1:04:42
  some crazy ideas. And yeah, because I the one
• 1:04:45
  sound thing that I am sick and tired of hearing in Star Citizen
• 1:04:49
  is the wet fart noise that currently stands in for most of
• 1:04:54
  the laser weapons on the ships. It, it just sounds like wet
• 1:04:59
  farts. That's it.
• 1:05:00
  I, I don't feel like I'm in a spaceship, you know, fighting
• 1:05:03
  bad guys and, you know, *. Wars and all.
• 1:05:06
  That no, it's just, it's just wet farts.
• 1:05:09
  Remind me to try to put some wet fart laser sounds in or.
• 1:05:11
  Yeah, just all you have to do is just take some from Star
• 1:05:14
  Citizen. That's what it is, yeah.
• 1:05:16
  Yeah, yeah, he's yeah. What what?
• 1:05:19
  What laser has the wet fart sound do?
• 1:05:21
  You have all of them. They all just well, except like
• 1:05:23
  like the NDBS don't but look so like, I don't know, the
• 1:05:26
  Attritions and Panthers and all the laser cannons.
• 1:05:30
  It's just what? It's just wet farts.
• 1:05:35
  Totally put that pair up on purpose.
• 1:05:37
  All the way down. Yeah, he knew he was.
• 1:05:40
  He knew this was his TV time. But notice he.
• 1:05:42
  Didn't. Yeah, the first one.
• 1:05:44
  I think the first one he was wearing a hat or something.
• 1:05:48
  You know, for good reason. I can deal with those sounds,
• 1:05:50
  but I can't deal with the fact that every NPC is.
• 1:05:53
  We go to find him right now. He got your cousin.
• 1:05:57
  Oh, my cousin. Why?
• 1:05:59
  Does everybody look sound like they're from the from?
• 1:06:06
  Yeah, God. Well, Simon Gershon, we love
• 1:06:09
  you, we support you and keep keep on making the great work.
• 1:06:14
  Hey. Man, there's somebody in the
• 1:06:16
  audience got a hand up. Oh, here we go.
• 1:06:19
  Here we go. All right, this this guy's been
• 1:06:21
  on. Coming back, He's coming back.
• 1:06:22
  Lord Anubis was right. Lord Anubis texted me that
• 1:06:25
  Vertical Hatter would be back. Here he is.
• 1:06:29
  I just had the. The wet farts brought him back.
• 1:06:33
  That's true. The wet farts brought me back.
• 1:06:34
  I I just had to come in and agree on that.
• 1:06:36
  They they are the the sound for the general lasers are not
• 1:06:42
  inspiring. It's it's why I used MDBS back
• 1:06:46
  when you could just buy them flatly and quarrelers also
• 1:06:49
  because they made like a very like a very like soul fulfilling
• 1:06:53
  Pew Pew noise that I was like, yes, that is the.
• 1:06:55
  Laser noise like. A but yeah, that's interesting.
• 1:07:02
  OK, I don't know why the, the, the particular soundscape of a
• 1:07:05
  like of, of the stupid weapons that they use is so impactful
• 1:07:11
  for some dumb reason. Like, you know that that doesn't
• 1:07:14
  change anything about the actual weapon itself.
• 1:07:16
  But you're like, you're like, wow, that was the most like
• 1:07:19
  uninspired sound. I feel not epic right now.
• 1:07:25
  And some games do it so well, like old ass games.
• 1:07:28
  Some of them like have Mechwarrior online, OK, like if
• 1:07:33
  you were playing Mechwarrior, right?
• 1:07:34
  Like the different, all the different lasers and weapons,
• 1:07:37
  Like there's, you know, there's you got some really satisfying
• 1:07:39
  daka daka awesome lasers. And then you go into Star
• 1:07:43
  Citizen, which is visually above everything.
• 1:07:46
  And then you're you're flying around attacking your enemies
• 1:07:49
  with wet farts. Yeah, the the Mechwarrior
• 1:07:52
  mercenaries. You learn to be afraid of
• 1:07:54
  certain noises. You're like, ah, fuck, this
• 1:07:56
  guy's coming for me. Figure it out.
• 1:07:59
  And that's, and that's good diegetic gameplay, which they,
• 1:08:02
  you know, CIG is always trying to go for, right?
• 1:08:04
  You can. You can know what you're being
• 1:08:06
  attacked by just by the noise. Well, I mean like half the time
• 1:08:10
  I don't. I don't actually hear the
• 1:08:11
  weapons half the time because the noise doesn't actually play
• 1:08:14
  while I'm in my I don't even know I'm getting hit except for
• 1:08:16
  the little like flashing light that says you get hit, you got
• 1:08:19
  hit. I'm like fuck man.
• 1:08:21
  Duke, what did you say? Wet fart.
• 1:08:25
  Die. Die.
• 1:08:26
  What? Diegetic.
• 1:08:30
  What's that mean? I'm too.
• 1:08:32
  We don't say that on the show. I.
• 1:08:33
  Think I'm too dumb to be here? You.
• 1:08:35
  Are you're welcome to be here? We still love you, We still love
• 1:08:40
  you. It it so like in terms of like
• 1:08:43
  diegetic gameplay, meaning you're getting valuable
• 1:08:46
  information not fed to you through a gamey way, but it it's
• 1:08:55
  just part of the environment that you're in and it's giving
• 1:08:58
  you cues as to things that are going on.
• 1:09:01
  Visceral. That's a different thing, but
• 1:09:07
  but I just. Wanted to say it because I knew
• 1:09:10
  that. Word.
• 1:09:11
  You just, yeah, let me think of like, like if you're doing a
• 1:09:18
  contested zone and you hear, you know, the noise of one of the
• 1:09:21
  doors opening, right? That would be a good diegetic
• 1:09:25
  sound. What?
• 1:09:26
  About like a a a grenade rolling across the ground.
• 1:09:30
  Yeah, yeah, that too. Q.
• 1:09:32
  That's the thing that you've got to pay.
• 1:09:33
  Can we have some nonviolent diegetic sounds for Pacifist
• 1:09:36
  Bill? Maybe.
• 1:09:39
  Maybe the sound. Maybe the sound of a of a Tonka
• 1:09:43
  A. Rat crispy frying on a stick and
• 1:09:46
  pyro. I'll, I'll give you one.
• 1:09:48
  It's, I mean, it's, it's kind of threatening, I guess.
• 1:09:51
  But when you hear a tractor beam in one of those contested zones,
• 1:09:55
  that's kind of a bummer. Like, oh, I got to get out of
• 1:09:57
  here. I don't know what that guy's
• 1:09:58
  doing. Don't touch me.
• 1:10:00
  I mean, I also maintain that the different mining lasers should
• 1:10:02
  have different sounds as well. Yeah.
• 1:10:04
  Agreed. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
• 1:10:08
  Here's. Where?
• 1:10:10
  I'm going to. Have to disagree.
• 1:10:17
  Most of this game takes place in in a vacuum of space.
• 1:10:21
  The closest thing you'd hear of anything is if if you felt
• 1:10:24
  vibrations that cause the air in your helmet to vibrate, you hear
• 1:10:29
  everything. If you hear heard anything at
• 1:10:31
  all it'd be super muffled. Yeah, what's the idea already?
• 1:10:34
  Sound what I want bro. CID already covered this.
• 1:10:38
  They said it's your your shipboard and your armor
• 1:10:41
  computer that is. Extrapolating.
• 1:10:44
  Extrapolating all that and giving it to you so that you
• 1:10:47
  have a diegetic cue to interact. With your world that sounds very
• 1:10:51
  advanced. Why don't we have tinting
• 1:10:54
  windows for the windshield? Excuse me but like if if you
• 1:11:01
  couldn't hear in space then explain how the crew of the
• 1:11:05
  Ghost in Star Wars Rebels had to hide from the Imperial ship by
• 1:11:11
  being very quiet. Bro Dave baloney sucks I can't
• 1:11:18
  stand I've never liked this stupid blocking animation.
• 1:11:22
  His stories aren't that great enough.
• 1:11:25
  Isn't he in charge now? Of yeah, I know.
• 1:11:28
  And Star Wars is going to fail for it.
• 1:11:32
  Tony's going Roy forever. It's going to suck worse than it
• 1:11:35
  has. Who was the the lady cat cat.
• 1:11:38
  Kathleen, Kathy. Yeah, oh God, she's the worst.
• 1:11:42
  No, no, wait. Just hold up.
• 1:11:43
  Hold up here, No. Hold.
• 1:11:45
  No. She's already pulling the
• 1:11:47
  strings back again. She's rearing.
• 1:11:49
  No pulling on the rings again. She's out.
• 1:11:52
  She's not out. Hold up because I need to I.
• 1:11:55
  Need a Ghost Rider official? Statement Thank you Kathleen
• 1:11:58
  Kennedy for green lighting and making sure and or happened and
• 1:12:02
  Oh yeah, and you allowed it to happen in the way it should
• 1:12:06
  have. That's true.
• 1:12:07
  Thank you. We were being allowed had no
• 1:12:10
  actual impact. She greenlit it personally.
• 1:12:14
  Which one was that I missed? That Andor.
• 1:12:17
  Andor. You got to watch that.
• 1:12:19
  Amazing. It's just Star Wars in the last
• 1:12:22
  10 years. Maybe ever.
• 1:12:24
  Isn't there another one or there a second one?
• 1:12:26
  Or is is 2? Seasons.
• 1:12:28
  Two seasons of Andor. That's what it was.
• 1:12:32
  Have you have you watched Rogue One?
• 1:12:35
  The Movie. Yeah.
• 1:12:37
  Yeah. I did watch that, that's what I
• 1:12:39
  was. Thinking this is what happens
• 1:12:40
  before Rogue One and or. I'm just gonna see core
• 1:12:46
  prequels. Can I just get a story off what
• 1:12:48
  I've already seen? It is.
• 1:12:50
  You need to watch it better. You need to watch what you.
• 1:12:53
  Want better? OK.
• 1:12:54
  Exactly what you want. You don't.
• 1:12:56
  You know it, but you. Don't you do OK, it is.
• 1:13:01
  I maintain that a significant portion of the success of Andor
• 1:13:04
  and Rogue One is that like, OK, so all of us who grew up with
• 1:13:06
  Star Wars, you know, it's a it's a peasant hero story.
• 1:13:09
  You know, you go, a guy comes in and does fights the evil
• 1:13:12
  whatever. We all grew up with it.
• 1:13:13
  Most of the people who are most invested in Star Wars at this
• 1:13:16
  point are a little bit older and and.
• 1:13:18
  I beg your pardon? Rogue One were really, really
• 1:13:22
  stories for for people who are a little bit older.
• 1:13:25
  They did away with the entire thing of like, let's make a
• 1:13:28
  movie for kids. They made a movie for adults
• 1:13:32
  that that the complexities of the world that George Lucas made
• 1:13:36
  and kind of broke them apart in some ways and said, yeah, it's
• 1:13:39
  it's kind of screwed up in all these different ways.
• 1:13:41
  How do we express that? And like, that's why I thought
• 1:13:44
  those that movie and that series actually did so well because as
• 1:13:47
  opposed to trying to say, Hey, we're going to make, you know,
• 1:13:50
  what kind of a dumb kids movie again, they said, well, why
• 1:13:53
  don't we take it? And like, I don't know, look at
• 1:13:56
  it from the perspective of someone who grew up with all of
• 1:13:59
  it, who can do away with all of the like shine at this point.
• 1:14:02
  So I don't know. I thought that was good.
• 1:14:04
  So you you definitely agree, you know, it's, it's a more adult
• 1:14:07
  thing. It does appeal to us old timers,
• 1:14:11
  but it also don't want it to leak into the idea that we don't
• 1:14:15
  like the new movies because we're too old, because there
• 1:14:19
  there are plenty of kids movies. And I have I have three of the
• 1:14:23
  little the little buggers running around.
• 1:14:24
  So I know that are still they're made for kids, but they're also
• 1:14:29
  just good writing and they're good.
• 1:14:31
  Versus. You're talking.
• 1:14:33
  About Star Wars. Yeah, but well, I mean movies in
• 1:14:37
  general, but then also Star Wars.
• 1:14:39
  What's Star Wars kids movie is good riding?
• 1:14:43
  What's the the movie on the TV show Jude Law?
• 1:14:48
  Jude Law? What was that TV show?
• 1:14:50
  Oh. Yes, that was.
• 1:14:52
  That I heard that was. That.
• 1:14:54
  I, I, I thought I would hate that, but I liked it.
• 1:14:57
  I watched it and I was like, yeah, I'm going to actually
• 1:14:59
  watch that with my kids soon. Yeah, it was.
• 1:15:02
  Fun not not to come at it with any, you know, like rose tinted
• 1:15:04
  glasses. I have watched the Star Wars
• 1:15:06
  Christmas special. There are old Star Wars
• 1:15:08
  basically for that as well. Oh yeah.
• 1:15:10
  Oh yeah. Oh yeah, for.
• 1:15:11
  Sure for. Sure, make sure my infant son
• 1:15:14
  watched it before he performed memories so I could tell him no,
• 1:15:17
  you watched it. You don't need to go back and
• 1:15:18
  watch it, it's OK. Well, you know what they say,
• 1:15:21
  You can't have the bitter without the sweet and then the
• 1:15:23
  sweet without the the bitter. But lately, there's been a lot
• 1:15:27
  of bitter. Well, skeleton crew.
• 1:15:30
  Well said. Skeleton crew was great though.
• 1:15:33
  I mean, it really was. Yeah, it was good everybody did
• 1:15:37
  they? Spend.
• 1:15:38
  That's what I was thinking of. Yeah, the Jude Law one.
• 1:15:43
  Yeah, I like that one. That's really.
• 1:15:44
  Good, I maybe should see it because everyone says it but
• 1:15:47
  they spent more more money on the Star Wars Holiday special
• 1:15:50
  than they spent on the fight between Obi Wan and Darth Vader
• 1:15:54
  on that movie set planet. Oh my God, that's you guys are
• 1:15:58
  crazy. Do you remember?
• 1:16:01
  You know what I'm talking about. The first.
• 1:16:03
  Fight not the second. Fight the first fight.
• 1:16:07
  Yeah, the One Canoe Show. With Darth Vader.
• 1:16:10
  Yeah, he was, old man. It felt like they were
• 1:16:14
  practicing. It felt like we were watching.
• 1:16:16
  It was horrible anyway, just. A reminder, I think they were
• 1:16:20
  limited by they. Didn't like that movie.
• 1:16:24
  I think they were limited by that technology in that movie to
• 1:16:26
  get the lightsabers to glow properly or something.
• 1:16:28
  There was something like that where they couldn't be whaling
• 1:16:31
  around. That was like the 10th Star Wars
• 1:16:34
  thing. They made Oh, you're talking
• 1:16:35
  about the. Didn't get the lightsabers.
• 1:16:36
  Down. I thought you were talking
• 1:16:37
  about, I think you were talking about episode 4.
• 1:16:39
  No, no, no, no. The Obi Wan Kenobi show.
• 1:16:41
  Oh yeah, that was crap. Or as I know it, Larry.
• 1:16:47
  Larry. What?
• 1:16:49
  Yeah, you got to watch the aural nuts.
• 1:16:51
  I think we, I think we've gone off the rails here, Char char.
• 1:16:54
  Oh no, it's amazing. It's amazing.
• 1:16:55
  They they basically they're, they're sound engineers and
• 1:16:59
  they, they take the shows and they, they actually did the
• 1:17:02
  whole like the whole, you know, trilogy's.
• 1:17:04
  They they did all of them and they completely revamp the story
• 1:17:08
  and made it fucking crazy. It's it's, it's amazing.
• 1:17:11
  And they did the entire Kenobi shows called Larry because his
• 1:17:15
  name is Larry Kenobi and he's kind of like a piece of crap,
• 1:17:19
  honestly. And and it's hilarious.
• 1:17:23
  All right, we'll check out Larry.
• 1:17:25
  Larry Kenobi. Larry Kenobi Also drink a cruise
• 1:17:30
  Lux. Yeah, you got the shivers.
• 1:17:33
  You got a little cold. You vomiting?
• 1:17:35
  Drink some, Cruz. Lux, why do you keep bringing up
• 1:17:38
  vomit with the same sense of Cruz?
• 1:17:40
  Lux that thing this is. Terrible.
• 1:17:42
  The Cruz family's rolling over in its proverbial grave.
• 1:17:46
  Yeah, it's not Alka Seltzer. Are you are?
• 1:17:48
  Are your shoes falling off? Drink some Cruz Lux.
• 1:17:53
  Have you gotten too many G's in your space?
• 1:17:56
  Are you covering too many G's? You know, we do have.
• 1:18:00
  Cruise time. We do have the.
• 1:18:02
  Commercial. I think you're bringing us very
• 1:18:04
  close to that, that line of of being a being a skit show as we
• 1:18:11
  were somebody already already said that we actually were.
• 1:18:14
  Gotta read the ads. You gotta read the ads, and Lord
• 1:18:17
  Nubis, I think, has an ad for us.
• 1:18:18
  Lord Nubis. Yes, it's a new sponsor.
• 1:18:22
  Looks like it's Wammers. I know we've all eaten at
• 1:18:25
  Wammers before so well, you know you don't have a choice.
• 1:18:32
  Eat at Wammers, turn down power to guns, and turn up power to
• 1:18:38
  fun. This week at Whammers we got
• 1:18:41
  Wham jams by the flim flams all day long.
• 1:18:43
  Just think of it. 12 whammers for only 599 auec.
• 1:18:47
  Make a Crusader side this weekend at our Orson location
• 1:18:50
  and you'll get a free whammy. The Ham Pico slam ball well
• 1:18:54
  supplies laughs at Whammers. We got a whammy for you OP.
• 1:18:59
  Are not available in PUPTU or internal test servers used as
• 1:19:03
  directed. Now wait a minute before anybody
• 1:19:06
  says anything. Did you just say while supplies
• 1:19:09
  lapse? Yes.
• 1:19:12
  Yeah, we can do another take if you want to take, but I think it
• 1:19:14
  was. Perfect, I think it was.
• 1:19:17
  Good man. Side note, so I'm, I was just
• 1:19:21
  saw a post someone who was showing a what is AP8 submachine
• 1:19:27
  gun, I think crafted with 800 level quality material and the
• 1:19:34
  the buffs are crazy. You're talking -40% on recoil
• 1:19:40
  kick plus 4041% recoil smoothness plus 41% recoil
• 1:19:47
  handling. Yeah, lots, lots of crazy buffs.
• 1:19:52
  It's going to be cool. It's going to be, it's going to
• 1:19:54
  be an exciting patch. It sounds like ACZ specialist
• 1:19:58
  right there. Yeah, to to kind of rope this up
• 1:20:01
  with these buffs and, and what what is this called?
• 1:20:05
  Is this technically crafting or is this something else?
• 1:20:09
  Yeah, it's well. Compared to Star Wars Galaxies.
• 1:20:13
  Oh shit. Oh, no, no, no.
• 1:20:15
  You left the door wide open for that charger.
• 1:20:17
  So we're crafting components and attachments and adding them to
• 1:20:21
  our guns basically. Not yet.
• 1:20:24
  So we're not crafting attachments, we're just
• 1:20:25
  crafting. No, we're just crafting weapons
• 1:20:27
  right now. I don't even think there's any
• 1:20:29
  blueprints for armor yet, just weapons.
• 1:20:32
  Yeah, there is, There is. OK.
• 1:20:34
  Yeah, there's like 41 pages of blueprints that you can get when
• 1:20:38
  you're in the fabricator. You can select blueprints you
• 1:20:41
  don't have access. Oh, no.
• 1:20:43
  And there's like 41 pages that you can get.
• 1:20:47
  And you can click on them and they show specs and stuff.
• 1:20:50
  No, no, no. So yeah, I guess they could just
• 1:20:52
  be placeholders. But I did see somebody earlier
• 1:20:56
  craft a helmet. It was just some dumb, stupid,
• 1:20:59
  dumb helmet. But I mean, it gave better
• 1:21:02
  temperature, temperature resistances and stuff.
• 1:21:05
  So I'm wondering if you could create like radiation ones.
• 1:21:10
  So when you go to that place, I don't know what it's called.
• 1:21:15
  You know what it is with the big valid car that is ASD facility
• 1:21:21
  ASD, that's it. Maybe you could create a bunch
• 1:21:25
  of radiation gear and not have to wear that big weird suit.
• 1:21:29
  I mean, I don't think you have to wear it, but.
• 1:21:32
  Well, I, I could see you have like a salvage thing where you
• 1:21:35
  know, someone brings you a radiation suit and you're taking
• 1:21:38
  up the lining in order to craft with, you know, maybe they need
• 1:21:41
  like 5 suits. They need to bring you that.
• 1:21:44
  'D be cool. Yeah.
• 1:21:48
  All right, well, we're about to wrap the show up here.
• 1:21:51
  We're we're right here at the end.
• 1:21:55
  Before I go around and and kind of do our our go around.
• 1:21:58
  Anyone have any last words? Anything we missed this week?
• 1:22:05
  No. All right, well, let me tell you
• 1:22:08
  all, next week is going to be a good show.
• 1:22:10
  Next week we're going to have a special guest joining us on Open
• 1:22:14

• 1:22:36

• 1:22:39
  next week on Open Comms Radio. Not sure what we're going to
• 1:22:43
  talk about. Definitely not ship art.
• 1:22:48
  No, I don't know. I don't know what he's going to
• 1:22:49
  be here for. We'll discuss the new Canon RF
• 1:22:54
  2.8 to one O 5F2 point. 8 No, it's going to be the cheese to
• 1:22:59
  meet ratio in your sandwich. What is the ideal cheese to meet
• 1:23:04
  ratio? Well, are we talking about Star
• 1:23:06
  Wars? Balance.
• 1:23:08
  Yes, there you go. Hey, yes, hey.
• 1:23:10
  Star Wars Galaxies, everybody. Have you heard of it 'cause we
• 1:23:13
  have 5? Hours to talk.
• 1:23:14
  So Bill, I don't know if you've if you've ever heard this part
• 1:23:21
  of the show, but we like to end the show the same way.
• 1:23:24
  Every episode I go around backwards and I ask the guests
• 1:23:29
  if they have anything they like to say to CIG, Chris Roberts or
• 1:23:33
  the people of the Internet. So Bill, you're first.
• 1:23:37
  Bill, is there anything you'd like to say to CIG, Chris
• 1:23:40
  Roberts or the people on the Internet?
• 1:23:42
  It stayed true. All right, right, righteous.
• 1:23:51
  Yeah, no. Wicked, wicked.
• 1:23:53
  You were next. Oh my gosh, wicked.
• 1:23:56
  Is there anything you'd like to say to CIG, Chris Roberts, or
• 1:23:58
  the people on the Internet? Well, it's just a question.
• 1:24:02
  A question for Sandy Roberts. Yeah.
• 1:24:07
  And you know the? State of New Mexico has told you
• 1:24:10
  to stop. Yeah, but there's a lot of other
• 1:24:13
  states. I'm just asking questions.
• 1:24:16
  I'm not this is this is our conduit to to His Highness.
• 1:24:20
  Certainly I'm with you, I don't believe.
• 1:24:22
  In What's the question? What's the question?
• 1:24:24
  So I heard Chris Roberts was trying to sneak up on a mirror
• 1:24:30
  and almost made it. Please please please confirm.
• 1:24:37
  Thank you. All right.
• 1:24:41
  Cindy Roberts, please confirm. Vertical Hatter, Is there
• 1:24:44
  anything you'd like to say to CIG, Chris Roberts, or the
• 1:24:46
  people on the computer? No drink Jolt Cola.
• 1:24:54
  I don't know, like what do you what?
• 1:24:56
  Do you want veritable habit? All right, goes our sponsorship.
• 1:25:00
  Great. So.
• 1:25:03
  This guy, did he not get the memo?
• 1:25:06
  Didn't he click yes when he signed?
• 1:25:08
  It no, I don't know. That's all right.
• 1:25:11
  Lord Anubis, is there anything you'd like to see?
• 1:25:14
  The CIG? Chris Roberts with the people on
• 1:25:16
  the Internet. I, I want to tell the people
• 1:25:19
  that, you know, with, with everything going on, I know the
• 1:25:22
  world seems really scary, but but you know, we, we do have
• 1:25:27
  hope. We have things like Star Wars
• 1:25:30
  galaxies in our lives and you know, we have a game that's
• 1:25:36
  heading towards. But I will say in all
• 1:25:39
  seriousness with that, finding your space of joy in a time like
• 1:25:44
  these is very important. And I'm glad that we can all
• 1:25:46
  enjoy it and come together and be able to have moments like
• 1:25:48
  these when these times are. It's scary.
• 1:25:52
  Thank you, Lord News. Brought it back home.
• 1:25:56
  Well, Duke. Question in the twitch chat.
• 1:26:01
  Are you kidding me, dude? People watch it.
• 1:26:08
  Yeah, bro, just said Jolt. Jolt Cola?
• 1:26:11
  Where do you even? Where do you buy Jolt?
• 1:26:14
  Veritable Hatter. They had a limited re release of
• 1:26:18
  it not that long ago. Unfortunately it is an energy
• 1:26:22
  drink now as opposed to just a cola, so it'll be even more
• 1:26:25
  wired. Oh my.
• 1:26:29
  God, now we're talking. That was good stuff back in the
• 1:26:32
  day. That's still good stuff.
• 1:26:36
  Didn't they outlawed? I mean, Taco Bell is selling 200
• 1:26:40
  milligram caffeine fresca drinks so I don't know.
• 1:26:43
  Wonder what what Ausmus did? Outlaw Jolt.
• 1:26:46
  And Cruise Lux is 20% slammed. That's true.
• 1:26:50
  High volume No. It isn't.
• 1:26:52
  All right, all right. All right.
• 1:26:54
  Well, thank you to Thor 65, also in chat, Who's the Lennox

• 1:27:06
  Yep. Yep.
• 1:27:08
  Have a nice night. Oh, hold on.
• 1:27:12
  Wait, what's that? Yeah, Duke's.
• 1:27:17
  Duke's gotta do the thing. Oh, OK.
• 1:27:19
  Oh, you're ready. Play us.
• 1:27:27
  Out, yeah.
