Can you SMELL what CIG's got Cookin' in PTU? | A Star Citizen call-in show · Open Comms Radio | A Star Citizen call-in show

  Overpowered the next PTU patch. There's there's just a lot of
• 0:04
  incoherence with how those are being balanced right now.
• 0:10
  And hey. Can I?
• 0:11
  Let's not be right there for a second, hobo.
• 0:13
  Yeah, sure. I forgot to hit record.
• 0:19
  No, that was such a great opening.
• 0:29
  The thing is though, now that you say that, I can't see it.
• 0:31
  You're absolutely right. We're claiming.
• 0:33
  Let's let's talk about that first because I was going.
• 0:35
  To go in a totally. Different direction.
• 0:37
  You can make as much money as you need and work your way
• 0:40
  towards any ship in the game. They they were trying to cash in
• 0:44
  off of that nostalgia and that hype.
• 0:49
  Welcome, citizens to Open Comms Radio, your Star Citizen call in
• 0:54
  show every week Wednesday nights at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, 6:00 PM
• 1:00
  Pacific Time. If you're in the middle or
• 1:02
  someplace else, you got to figure out that time on your own
• 1:05
  because at this show we have trouble just figuring out how to
• 1:09
  hit the record button. I'm Jar Jar Jabroni and I'm your
• 1:13
  host here every week. And this week I have a very
• 1:15
  special Co host who's going to help save the day.
• 1:19
  That's Duke, later the second Duke.
• 1:21
  How you doing today? Doing good doing good jar jar.
• 1:25
  Oh, Duke, did you catch that? Simone Biles.
• 1:30
  I didn't. I didn't catch her.
• 1:32
  Were you watching? Gee whiz, I was watching.
• 1:36
  She's so good. She's the best at what she does.
• 1:37
  Speaking. Speaking of people, who who are
• 1:39
  the best? Cosmic Hobo is here.
• 1:42
  Cosmic Hobo, Come on up. Oh wow.
• 1:45
  Hey, I'm here. What do you know?
• 1:48
  Hey, Cosmic Hobo, thank you for joining Opencoms Radio.
• 1:52
  This week's question. Duke, what's this week's
• 1:54
  question? This week's question is can you
• 1:57
  smell what CI GS cooking? Wow.
• 2:02
  Yeah, I've had some time to think about this.
• 2:04
  In fact, I've rehearsed what I will say.
• 2:08
  Yes, I can, and I like what I smell, but do I have to do the
• 2:12
  cooking metaphor again? Some things you don't like what
• 2:15
  they smell. You know when you're cooking
• 2:18
  some and you're not entirely sure if you are going to like
• 2:22
  what the end products going to be?
• 2:24
  G waves. Not me.
• 2:24
  I don't really cook. I use no flavors.
• 2:27
  Yeah, none at all, right? No, but I love your cooking.
• 2:29
  You were great. And you too, Duke, you.
• 2:31
  You did a great job at the Red Scar BBQ.
• 2:33
  Yep, Yep, cooked in your in your little kitchen for for some
• 2:36
  sorties kitchen. We're doing good.
• 2:38
  This sounds this sounds really natural.
• 2:40
  Yep, very natural. There are no accidents involved
• 2:43
  in the production of this recording.
• 2:46
  I'm very I'm so happy that everything went smoothly and we
• 2:50
  remembered to record. Yep, so.
• 2:55
  So how about that PTU? Smell that smell right so.
• 3:01
  All right, so your your real thoughts the PTU?
• 3:05
  Yep. What's CI GS cooking?
• 3:07
  They're doing a good job. But you're thinking I think
• 3:09
  they're cooking. Yeah, sometimes.
• 3:10
  Sometimes you're cooking and doesn't smell quite right at 1st
• 3:13
  and you got to let it simmer. So what does CIG need to simmer
• 3:18
  down? What what they need to what they
• 3:20
  need to do here to get the sausage right.
• 3:23
  First, figure out the balance for fighter meta, because where
• 3:28
  they fit in with big ships being what they are now being
• 3:32
  components, pretty much components with armor and holes
• 3:35
  around them. So everything's based on
• 3:37
  components now. And so fighters, you don't have
• 3:42
  access to components. And fighters, see you are
• 3:44
  sitting in your seats, you have your magical repair buttons, but
• 3:50
  your components are not your weakness.
• 3:51
  But in a fighter, you're so small does that it doesn't make
• 3:55
  a lot of sense in some ways, but OK.
• 3:58
  But really where I'm thinking that fighters need to be figured
• 4:02
  out about is how they damage or lack thereof for like capital
• 4:10
  ships and bigger ships and medium ships.
• 4:12
  That's like, what kind of threat are they?
• 4:16
  They have said, CIG has said in the past they want them to be a
• 4:21
  swarm threat in a manner of speaking, but that only makes
• 4:25
  sense for like really big ships, because then you're, yeah,
• 4:29
  you're going to totally need a swarm of fighters to take down
• 4:32
  an interest. But then you have to ask the
• 4:34
  question, should they even be able to damage, say, an interest
• 4:37
  or a Polaris? And if so, in what ways?
• 4:41
  There's still. Some funkiness there.
• 4:44
  I think they should be only able to.
• 4:48
  I've heard I've had this argument with other discussion.
• 4:50
  Sorry this discussion with other people and other discords about
• 4:54
  star season before and some of them want to treat.
• 4:59
  Yeah, I'm going to put mine on right now just so I can throw
• 5:01
  them. Some people want fighters to
• 5:04
  have absolutely no effect on capital ships.
• 5:08
  Like, that's me. I'm one of those.
• 5:11
  If. You know what side you're on.
• 5:13
  I want to hit a middle ground there where they do they can
• 5:18
  target specific things like they should be able to strip weapon
• 5:21
  mounts, so like turrets, Yeah. And their attached guns.
• 5:26
  They should be able to get PDCS. They should be able to target
• 5:30
  PDCS and any. Sort of.
• 5:32
  I don't think they should be able to do that while the
• 5:33
  Shields are up. Well, no, you got to get through
• 5:36
  the Shields and. Right, Well, that's there you
• 5:38
  go. So that's why like, you know, a
• 5:40
  single, a single Saber or something just shouldn't be able
• 5:44
  to do anything unless those Shields happen to come down,
• 5:47
  then yeah, then they can swoop in and they can fly around and
• 5:50
  Ballistics. And their shield pen are just
• 5:52
  weird though. And that's, that's where kind of
• 5:56
  the segue into the second part of my big concern right now is
• 6:02
  with big ships is their time to kill.
• 6:06
  And ballistic pen, ballistic penetration in its current form,
• 6:10
  and I'm talking anything shooting at you with ballistic
• 6:12
  pen weapons is kind of overpowered right now.
• 6:17
  Like it 'cause if you hit a component, you're going to do
• 6:21
  damage to it and it smaller ships should not be able to do
• 6:28
  as much as they do right now in CI GS defense, I've not done.
• 6:33
  I've not played the most recent patch that just went live or
• 6:38
  onto the PTU, and I know they've been actively balancing every
• 6:43
  single day. And that comes back to my
• 6:45
  they're still cooking metaphor or their whole theme of this
• 6:48
  show is everything is still being changed, everything is
• 6:54
  still in flux. So anyone freaking out right now
• 6:58
  about any balance aspect needs to be quiet because it's stop.
• 7:07
  It's clearly happening. Just calm down.
• 7:10
  We we we see rebalancing happening every single PTU patch
• 7:15
  in some way or another. So just chill.
• 7:19
  Yeah, but I saw a YouTube video and and the ship blew up with
• 7:22
  like two shots and and this game is you don't know.
• 7:25
  How many people have been like Oh well I shoulders and the
• 7:28
  game's going to be ruined after this patch?
• 7:30
  Came over, man, came over. It's over.
• 7:33
  It's. Awful.
• 7:35
  I know, but yeah, that's so, yeah, those are my two things.
• 7:39
  Fighters, what are they? What are they doing with ships?
• 7:43
  And get that time to kill up like that, figure that out
• 7:47
  because time to kill is a big deal.
• 7:49
  And how ships, how they want ships to survive long enough for
• 7:55
  us to be able to recover them is a big deal too.
• 7:58
  Also, the armor implementations kind of FRAP with the way it is
• 8:02
  right now. I don't like it.
• 8:04
  Someone on Reddit said that maybe they said maybe ships
• 8:08
  should never blow up. I saw.
• 8:11
  They want to blow up. I still want them to blow up at
• 8:13
  some point. Yeah, I want I want my big boom.
• 8:17
  I want my big explosions like come on, everyone should want
• 8:19
  that. That's.
• 8:20
  Yeah, I think, I think they should blow up.
• 8:22
  I mean, the weapons that we're using, the, the amount of power
• 8:25
  they're supposed to have, obviously they're going to be
• 8:27
  able to blow shit up. Well, Speaking of blowing shit
• 8:32
  up, our next guest does that almost weekly here on Open Comms
• 8:37
  Radio. We're going to bring up this.
• 8:40
  This next guy, Duke, you know him.
• 8:42
  I do. You love him, you're indifferent
• 8:44
  to him. Oh, I'm indifferent, right?
• 8:47
  Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 8:49
  You know, wicked. Citizens.
• 8:55
  That was a real shoddy intro, Duke.
• 8:58
  'Cause I was expecting he usually.
• 8:59
  Starts talking. Before we introduce him.
• 9:02
  Yeah, yeah, that's that's what I I said wicked because I was
• 9:05
  like, shit, is he asleep? You know, I was waiting for his
• 9:09
  disdainful. You know, citizens.
• 9:12
  Yeah, long time. Yeah, we've given the occasional
• 9:17
  caller. You want to try it again?
• 9:20
  Long time listener. Last.
• 9:23
  Time. Dude, shit, we just we.
• 9:25
  Just. We just took out our audience
• 9:27
  for like 80%. Unbelievable.
• 9:30
  Unbelievable. Yeah, so wicket you've been,
• 9:35
  you've been playing around, you've been, you've been playing
• 9:37
  in Ptua little bit a trial. Can you smell what CA GS got
• 9:43
  cooking in PTU? Yeah, and it's like the cook got
• 9:49
  a little bit too close to the flame and all I can smell is
• 9:51
  burnt hair. Hair terrible.
• 9:56
  I was. I singed my eyebrows once.
• 10:01
  Well, then you know what I'm talking about.
• 10:03
  I mean, I know it's all iterative.
• 10:05
  Everything is changing. I, I hear what hobo was saying.
• 10:09
  I, I, I totally agree with what he's saying, but I still don't
• 10:13
  want to let him off the hook so easy because I mean, they've
• 10:16
  been cooking for months and months and months and months of
• 10:19
  talking about this stuff and, and how, how it came out the way
• 10:23
  it did. It was just like kind of
• 10:24
  disappointing, to be honest. And I know it's changing.
• 10:29
  It's, but then I started, I mean, I don't pay as close
• 10:34
  attention to some folks do. And I get a lot of my
• 10:38
  information from hobo from guys like Rob and kind of paying
• 10:43
  attention to what they're saying in the, in the, in the chat and,
• 10:48
  you know, and then reading a little bit about what, what,
• 10:51
  what's being put out in the PTU in the messaging from, from cig
• 10:56
  and so forth. And everything I'm thinking, you
• 11:01
  know, they're, they're putting all the stuff out and then
• 11:06
  almost every single patch we're dialing it back to 4.4 levels,
• 11:13
  dial this back to 4.4. It's like, what's the point?
• 11:17
  I'm I'm going to have a rare, I agree with you entirely there,
• 11:20
  Wicket. Whoa.
• 11:23
  Change the name of the show 4.4 You guys agree?
• 11:28
  It it pisses me off that they keep doing that.
• 11:32
  You know, it's, it's like, what's the I keep thinking to
• 11:35
  myself, what's the point of even having this patch if it's, if
• 11:40
  we're just going to go back to the previous patch with a new
• 11:44
  now we have a new health bar. Basically, you know, you've got
• 11:48
  Shields, you've got armor, you've got your bait, you know
• 11:54
  your structural hit points, for lack of a better word, the whole
• 11:57
  hit points, I guess, and. It's just three different health
• 12:01
  bars to. Me yeah, that's, that's kind of
• 12:05
  like what it seems to me. And then on top of that,
• 12:07
  sprinkle in components, you know, that's just another health
• 12:14
  bar. And and I, I mean, I, I know I,
• 12:19
  I'm just speaking for myself here, but I just, I don't see
• 12:23
  the, the, the, the, the fun of engineering.
• 12:27
  It's not my jam. I'm glad there are people that
• 12:30
  are really impressed by it and are really into it.
• 12:34
  Good come and go. Come on, one of my bigger ships
• 12:37
  because I don't want to have anything.
• 12:40
  To do with it, I'll be there. So your complaint is that
• 12:43
  there's too many health? Bars lately, well, it it just
• 12:48
  seems like OK, how many health bars do we need?
• 12:50
  You know, it's like there's layers up on layers.
• 12:54
  I mean, it just seems like we're going into so many different
• 12:57
  directions. You know, it the I don't know if
• 12:59
  the the, the simplicity of, you know, number go down ship go
• 13:04
  boom. Was that more fun?
• 13:06
  Was that easier to manage? Was that easier to digest?
• 13:08
  Now it's number go down, the next number go down, the next
• 13:12
  number go down. Oh, fire.
• 13:15
  You know, and I'm of course I'm simplifying, simplifying all
• 13:19
  this stuff, but that's just kind of how it plays out in my mind.
• 13:23
  And it's like, well, can't we just have one big health bar?
• 13:26
  Yeah, but we can, but we'd have to split it into three parts
• 13:32
  exactly. Yeah, it's shield armor.
• 13:34
  I think that's an important and. I see.
• 13:39
  Yes, I, I understand that. But in reality, really that's
• 13:43
  what it is. It's a health.
• 13:45
  Bar you. Know, I know in in it's supposed
• 13:48
  to be armor layers, but the way they've implemented it, that
• 13:52
  doesn't come. It doesn't come across like.
• 13:54
  I know the intention is not that.
• 13:56
  But that's, I do think, the armor.
• 13:57
  I know. The at the moment, right, like
• 13:59
  you said it, it's basically just another health bar.
• 14:02
  Like at least with shielding, right?
• 14:04
  I mean, it's, it's a shield. There's, there's lots of
• 14:06
  complexity there with, you know, charge rates and downtime and
• 14:11
  things like that. But you're right, the armor just
• 14:13
  appears to be another health bar.
• 14:17
  Well, you know, even even in Star Citizen, you know, let's
• 14:23
  look, look at the character, the player character, if he's
• 14:26
  wearing heavy armor, they're slower.
• 14:30
  You know, if they're wearing medium armor, they're a little
• 14:32
  bit faster. If they're wearing light armor,
• 14:34
  they're even faster. They're wearing no armor.
• 14:36
  They're super fast, but they're just a lot more.
• 14:38
  Fragile. And of course, even I don't, I
• 14:41
  think even at at I think the implementation of body armor for
• 14:46
  the character, for the player character isn't even that great
• 14:48
  at this point. I think that needs some
• 14:51
  tweaking. But you know, when we start
• 14:54
  getting into ships in in most Mmos, they have all these
• 14:59
  things. They have Shields, they have
• 15:01
  armor, they have, you know, the base health pool structure in
• 15:04
  this case. And, and yeah, you have to
• 15:08
  different different weapon types, damage, different aspects
• 15:13
  of your health. Pool you.
• 15:14
  Know your shield health pool, your, you know, your arm or
• 15:16
  whatever. At the end of the day, if your
• 15:19
  structure that upholds all that stuff, your hit points goes
• 15:22
  down, you know, you start losing ship integrity or your character
• 15:25
  starts flailing about or whatever.
• 15:27
  Point being is that the implementation of the damage
• 15:30
  model now to with all these different health pools?
• 15:33
  Basically it's just seems kind of, I don't know, I don't know
• 15:38
  how I feel about it because I haven't seen the final, whatever
• 15:41
  that is going to be, but the iterations I've seen now I'm I'm
• 15:45
  just not. I definitely think my my thought
• 15:48
  on armor was that it was going to make sort of what you were
• 15:52
  saying cosmic with it was going to put fighters in their place,
• 15:56
  right? Like modern day armor, right?
• 15:59
  Like if you go up to an M1 Abrams tank and you have, you
• 16:03
  know, a little a pistol that that's not going to do anything.
• 16:07
  It's not enough for that armor. And I kind of thought that's
• 16:10
  what they were going to do where, you know, a little ship's
• 16:14
  size 1 of size 2 weapons weren't going to get through that armor,
• 16:18
  or at least it was going to take a really long time.
• 16:20
  And it seems like that's not how it's working.
• 16:23
  Well, that's the point of it. That's what heavy fighters are
• 16:25
  for. That's what that big gun on the
• 16:28
  Ares and and the Stinger is. Right.
• 16:30
  And that's because that's the size, whatever the hell it is.
• 16:33
  What is that like a size seven or something gun?
• 16:38
  But like, did your average fighter?
• 16:39
  Would I? Do want to say something about
• 16:41
  the whole the whole the battlefield in the way, you
• 16:44
  know, treating small light fighters and the medium and the
• 16:48
  heavy and then the the capitals and subcapital ships.
• 16:52
  You know, again, this is supposed to be a space game and
• 16:55
  obviously I mean, it's kind of super unrealistic anyway because
• 17:00
  they're trying to do World War 2IN space just like they did in
• 17:03
  Star Wars, just like they did in almost every sci-fi franchise
• 17:08
  you can think of. It's like World War 2IN space.
• 17:10
  That's just not how it would ever play out to begin with.
• 17:12
  But this is where we're at. And even in World War 2 ships
• 17:17
  back in World War 2A, small fighter could do massive damage
• 17:21
  to A to a large capital ship. You know, it just took one
• 17:25
  torpedo or one shot in the in the in in the ammo magazine and
• 17:29
  it blew half the ship apart. That happened all.
• 17:32
  The time that's specialized weaponry, you know, the regular.
• 17:37
  Not necessarily. The regular, you know, machine
• 17:39
  guns on the side of a, you know, super Marine Spitfire or
• 17:43
  something wasn't going to take out a bat ship.
• 17:46
  But if you get a ship coming in with a torpedo, yeah, that
• 17:48
  torpedo is going to do serious damage.
• 17:52
  Think about the scenario right. You're you're you got an.
• 17:56
  Idris, I like it. The Idris is open in the front
• 17:58
  and the back. It's deploying fighters out
• 18:01
  right and a fighter gets a lucky shot and he goes right into the
• 18:07
  hull, inside the hull and happens to go through the
• 18:09
  shield. As soon as the same time a ship
• 18:11
  is coming through, explodes and takes the.
• 18:14
  Could that take the? Should that take the whole ship
• 18:15
  out? Could it take the whole ship
• 18:17
  out? Could it severely damage the
• 18:19
  ship because all the components for the a lot of the components
• 18:23
  are right inside? There, that's where the main
• 18:24
  reactor is. That's how Anakin Skywalker did
• 18:27
  it. That's right.
• 18:27
  I was going to say, I think I think they should Anakin him in
• 18:30
  that scenario. It should work.
• 18:32
  Because that's cool rule. Rule of Cool I.
• 18:35
  Will accept a little cool. There, but it's not even rule of
• 18:37
  cool too, right? I mean, it's, it's realistic.
• 18:41
  Yeah. You want.
• 18:43
  We've seen it in real life. Anakin did it.
• 18:46
  So I, I wanted to go back to armor.
• 18:48
  Yeah, that was real life. That was just in a Galaxy far,
• 18:51
  far away. So back to armor.
• 18:54
  Armor is the way it's implemented right now.
• 18:57
  It's just a damage reduction. So your light fighters against a
• 19:02
  ship with armor will do almost nothing from size 1 to 4
• 19:08
  weapons, but it those weapons will slowly chip away at said
• 19:13
  armor. So it does work like armor, but
• 19:19
  it's it's very much a gamey style right now.
• 19:22
  And I and it's also you hit anywhere on the ship, you'll
• 19:25
  lower that armor assuming Shields are down.
• 19:28
  So I don't like that aspect is you just hit anywhere on the
• 19:31
  ship and that does your whole ship's armor like that's I don't
• 19:36
  like that. I I think.
• 19:37
  I was surprised about that. Yeah, Rob and I, like some of
• 19:42
  our first testing was with the Perseus, and he would just shoot
• 19:46
  the bottom turret and it would break the bottom turret as
• 19:50
  expected, but it would also strip away the entire armor and
• 19:53
  then start doing whole damage. It's just like, OK, that doesn't
• 19:58
  make any sense. But I think the only solution to
• 20:01
  that is another game system, Maelstrom.
• 20:07
  Well, that's a pretty good time for you to fuck off, hobo.
• 20:12
  It is. I do have to fuck off early
• 20:15
  tonight. Well, thank you for thank you
• 20:18
  for stopping by Hobo and you segwayed into right into our
• 20:21
  next guest here who was playing with Hobo the other night.
• 20:25
  And maybe he can speak a little bit more as to what he smells
• 20:30
  here in the PTU. And if anyone else there out
• 20:33
  there around the world would would like to join us.
• 20:37
  You can call in a Wednesday nights.
• 20:38
  We're live on Twitch. We're, we're pretty, we're
• 20:42
  pretty cool. We're, we're pretty, we're
• 20:44
  pretty chill. And we're looking for a new
• 20:47
  sponsor because Cruz Lux abandoned us.
• 20:51
  Here I am standing up off the couch and I won the seat for you
• 20:54
  buddy. Brockley, Rob, welcome to Open
• 20:58
  Comms Radio. I'm Jar Jar Jabroni.
• 21:00
  I'm here today with my Co host Duke and lovely Wicket on the
• 21:03
  couch. This week's question Can you
• 21:06
  smell what CI GS got cooking and PTU?
• 21:11
  I absolutely can. I'm I'm pretty excited about it.
• 21:14
  Was testing a little bit of it. I see the vision.
• 21:18
  I do think there's needs to be a little bit of balance.
• 21:22
  Overall I I like it. OK.
• 21:26
  This end of show. Yeah, that's.
• 21:31
  Also, one thing I do want to touch on is the relation to like
• 21:36
  real world comparisons. I don't think that's, I think
• 21:40
  it's a good starting position, but I don't think it should be
• 21:43
  balanced based around that because I'm sure World War 2
• 21:51
  Navy and Air Force would love to have balance changes, you know,
• 21:55
  when they were fighting which. That's that's deep.
• 21:58
  Honestly, we kind of did already take a like, to be completely
• 22:04
  honest, we took a a lesson from World War 2 and we started
• 22:08
  nerfing ships that were ramming other ships.
• 22:10
  So we're taking lessons from the real world and being like,
• 22:15
  that's not a good idea, we shouldn't do that.
• 22:19
  Not a good use of resources. Yeah, so like kamikaze pilots
• 22:25
  are not the meta the way that they were in Imperial Japan.
• 22:32
  Well, the, the, the thing I was getting at with the this real
• 22:36
  world example is this whole idea of fighters, corvettes, you
• 22:42
  know, capital ships, that all stems from the starting point of
• 22:48
  like world, the World War Two kind of romanticized naval
• 22:54
  battle. But now, you know, you do it in
• 22:56
  3D in space. That's where Lucas started with
• 22:59
  all his stuff. I mean, if you watch some of the
• 23:02
  early documentaries, they talk about that, and that's what
• 23:05
  almost every space game franchise has kind of gone to.
• 23:10
  Yeah. And again, it's a great starting
• 23:11
  point, but it needs to be immediately taken for the
• 23:16
  concept and then morphed into something that is good gameplay
• 23:21
  and I don't think. Yeah.
• 23:23
  And I don't think we're anywhere.
• 23:24
  Close to it was good gameplay. No, no, no, that's not what my
• 23:29
  intention was when I brought that up.
• 23:31
  What I was saying is that's where we get all this stuff
• 23:33
  from. This is the beginning of it.
• 23:35
  This is the starting of it, you know.
• 23:37
  But you know, and and and a lot of the the game play you see is,
• 23:41
  you know, big ass ship in space being strafed by a bunch of
• 23:46
  fighters that happened in real life, you know, aerial battles
• 23:52
  above the above of battlefield that happened in real life.
• 23:55
  That happens in these space games, but instead of above a
• 23:58
  battlefield, it's out in space around an asteroid field.
• 24:01
  You know, all these all these mechanics and all the starting
• 24:07
  point is is, you know, reality. And you know, a lot of it goes
• 24:11
  all the way back to World War 2. And you see it in, in, in
• 24:17
  movies, you see it in books, you see it in, in our current, you
• 24:21
  know, wonderful space game we all love and hate.
• 24:25
  Yeah, I basically what I want is I want light fighters to be a
• 24:32
  niche that takes out like turrets and like the Idris Roe
• 24:37
  gun. And then it's like, OK, good
• 24:39
  job, buddy. And then, you know, the big boys
• 24:41
  come in and start trading, you know, trading shots with each
• 24:46
  other. I like, I hate the meta of like,
• 24:50
  oh, we have, I don't know, like a Paladin.
• 24:52
  All right, light fighter with Panthers, we have an interest.
• 24:55
  Life Fighter with Panthers, we have people on the ground.
• 24:58
  Oh, let's get Life fighter with Panthers.
• 25:00
  It sucks. It's so.
• 25:02
  Boring and. Like we need we those.
• 25:07
  They need to just nerf light. I don't They need to nerf light
• 25:10
  fighters into the fucking ground and then build it back from
• 25:14
  there. Do you think weapon ranges can
• 25:16
  solve it? And I see this one come up a lot
• 25:19
  where weapon ranges need to be tied to, you know, maybe power
• 25:23
  plant size or something, but to stop light fighters from being
• 25:27
  able to kite things like the Hammerhead.
• 25:31
  Yeah, I, I've, I think, well, I've seen people talk about it.
• 25:34
  I think ranges work well. I think slowing down works well.
• 25:37
  But I like the idea of having to draw in fighters into like the
• 25:43
  danger zone. Danger Zone.
• 25:47
  Danger Zone. To the danger zone.
• 25:53
  OK, sorry. No, they never apologize for
• 25:57
  singing that. But then every time, like every
• 26:03
  time they engage a hammerhead, Hammerhead has nothing but size
• 26:06
  force, so they're always going to be within striking distance
• 26:10
  of a hammerhead. Yeah, and also, we were in the
• 26:14
  Hammerhead recently and it's not all it's cracked up to be.
• 26:19
  There's a lot of. Flats, it's been a long time.
• 26:21
  Yeah, you can't. It's harder to hit those tiny
• 26:24
  ships in that thing. And then if the pilots moving
• 26:27
  around like your turrets don't have good a good angle all the
• 26:32
  time at what do you call the rotation of them?
• 26:34
  But. Multi turret ships require a lot
• 26:36
  of coordination between the pilot and the Gunners.
• 26:40
  And that's, that should be just like flying the, the, the, the,
• 26:47
  the your fighter or any other ship.
• 26:50
  That's a skill that's going to have to be acquired as you do it
• 26:52
  more and more. It's just that for so long the
• 26:56
  turret meta has been such a crappy meta that and it's so
• 27:01
  ineffective. And now it's starting to become
• 27:04
  a little bit effective, like flying with Murphy in his
• 27:09
  Paladin and I'm on the top turret.
• 27:11
  I mean, we are super effective now.
• 27:13
  I don't know how effective we'd be in PvP, but in PV we've been
• 27:17
  pretty effective. And we've had, I don't know if
• 27:20
  we had if I was with him or somebody else when I had some
• 27:23
  PvP before, but it was OK. It it it didn't, it wasn't the
• 27:27
  greatest, but it wasn't totally ineffective either.
• 27:32
  The one thing I would say about the light fighter meta, I think
• 27:35
  the light fighter has has to have a role, OK.
• 27:40
  I think every, every kind of fighter needs a role, whether
• 27:44
  they're medium heavy or they're they're they're a sub capital or
• 27:48
  capital ship. I think the way the way I think
• 27:52
  it should be solved is we don't want to neuter the light
• 27:56
  fighter. We don't want to neuter any
• 27:57
  ship. The way you combat a light
• 27:59
  fighter taking out an Idris, or a couple of light fighters
• 28:03
  taking out an Idris, first of all you make it to where if they
• 28:06
  can do it, it's going to take them an ungodly amount of time.
• 28:11
  I mean this Idris would have to be sitting still.
• 28:14
  The guy at the controls of the Idris brain dead slopped over
• 28:17
  his console and they're just allowed to sit still and shoot
• 28:21
  as long as they have capacitor to shoot and that should take
• 28:24
  hours. In other words, what it boils
• 28:27
  down to is, is that the way you fix this, I think is some damage
• 28:32
  mitigation. In other words, most light
• 28:36
  fighters have what the at Max a size 4 weapon.
• 28:41
  Most of them are size 3, right? That's the lightest of light
• 28:45
  fighters, the arrows Gladius, you know the the the quote UN
• 28:49
  quote meta ships that are always the meta ship.
• 28:52
  Those should be. They should still stay super
• 28:54
  effective against one another and maybe medium chips to some
• 29:00
  extent. But since they're bringing in
• 29:02
  armor and this was what I thought armor was going to do,
• 29:05
  you know, the magic. Oh, wait till armor comes.
• 29:08
  It'll fix everything. And I was hoping it would fix
• 29:11
  most things like this and size 3 or size 4A heavily armored ship
• 29:18
  that's like a heavy fighter. It should take an exorbitant
• 29:21
  amount of hits from that light fighter to kill it, or even.
• 29:24
  To hit the component, I think that's the big thing because
• 29:26
  they were talking about light fighters wanting to hit those
• 29:28
  components. I think there was like a video
• 29:30
  back in the day about it. But even if you have armor on,
• 29:33
  it shouldn't be. You shouldn't be able to Pierce
• 29:34
  that unless maybe you have like a special.
• 29:36
  Gun. This is this is what I was
• 29:38
  saying. Your shield should be down.
• 29:40
  Your armor should be next to nothing.
• 29:42
  You know should be had been chewed away.
• 29:44
  The armor can't come back. The Shields can come back, you
• 29:48
  know, they can recharge. The armor can't recharge once
• 29:50
  they whittle it away. Now they have that they had that
• 29:54
  small hole of opportunity and they have to be super accurate
• 29:57
  to hit that component, you know, and that comes, you still have
• 30:02
  the skill aspect of piloting a light fighter.
• 30:05
  I think it comes down to that mitigation that somehow they
• 30:08
  have to to to bring some sort of Dr. damage reduction in.
• 30:12
  I think we're going to rename this episode Small Hole of
• 30:15
  Opportunity. So we got a we got a couple more
• 30:20
  people in the waiting room. Broccoli, Rob, I'm going to give
• 30:22
  you last, last day here. I was just going to say I think
• 30:26
  to further differentiate kind of to keep life fighters somewhat
• 30:31
  relevant, just have like Ballistics student almost
• 30:36
  nothing to armor even less than lasers, but have them have a
• 30:39
  chance to damage components. So that way, like if they are
• 30:44
  sitting there and the Idris, I don't know, solo interest guy is
• 30:48
  AFK, they can sit there and just like really dig in and just hold
• 30:54
  down left click on like while looking at a component with
• 30:57
  their ballistic weapon and get a chance like start a fire and
• 31:01
  like basically get make give them a problem.
• 31:04
  Like they don't have the ability to blow up their ship, but like,
• 31:07
  give them something that they're going to have to worry about.
• 31:12
  That's brilliant and that's don't think and like see a
• 31:15
  thieves or something because you have like different types of
• 31:17
  cannonballs. So you can have like fire
• 31:19
  cannonballs and then they have a fire to deal with.
• 31:22
  It's the same like concept. Yeah, make them.
• 31:25
  Make them helpful, but don't make them the only show in town.
• 31:31
  Well, do you have one helpful fight fighter or one type that's
• 31:35
  the like the Mantis, the Scorpion, right?
• 31:40
  The one that traps up the snare. The snare.
• 31:43
  I'm not, I'm not good with words.
• 31:45
  I'm not good with words. I don't know a lot of things.
• 31:47
  But I did manage to put together a little production value for
• 31:51
  the show today. We have segments now.
• 31:54
  This is this is our first segment.
• 31:56
  Yeah, yeah. And this segment is called
• 32:01
  Questions about Other Things. And Duke, you got the Jingle for
• 32:05
  it. I, I got the Jingle.
• 32:08
  I did. Isn't it someone?
• 32:12
  No, wait, that was Jeopardy. Now there's Power Rangers.
• 32:19
  I I don't think I have the Jingle.
• 32:22
  I like the Power Rangers one. We can stick with that.
• 32:24
  All right, the Power Rangers. This is not that song.
• 32:28
  Questions about other things? Yeah, there we go.
• 32:32
  We're going to bring up our next guest here, but instead of
• 32:34
  asking him our weekly question, we're going to ask our next
• 32:37
  guest a question about another thing.
• 32:42
  So our next guest into into the show is Lord Anubis.
• 32:46
  Lord Anubis, you can bring yourself on up here.
• 32:50
  Lord Anubis, welcome to open comms radio.
• 32:52
  I'm Jar Jar Jabroni. I'm here with my Co host Duke
• 32:56
  later the 2nd and my good friends Broccoli Robin Wickett.
• 32:59
  We're all wondering why are S S DS always like 3.89 terabytes
• 33:05
  and like 1.91 terabytes, but not just like 4?
• 33:08
  Terabytes because you have boot sectors that you're and also
• 33:18
  lead insurance. And then also you do got to have
• 33:21
  to remember that when you partition, you do have that data
• 33:26
  that is used up for that as well.
• 33:29
  You know, so you there there's quite a bit of of space that is
• 33:33
  lost to that, plus also the conversion from bits to bytes.
• 33:40
  So am I getting ripped off? No.
• 33:46
  I feel like we're getting ripped off.
• 33:48
  I feel, I feel like I'm getting ripped off.
• 33:50
  So you've heard it here, folks. No, they're selling.
• 33:52
  From Lord and Ubis they're selling.
• 33:54
  You RAW. They're selling you the raw,
• 33:58
  unformatted, unpartitioned, unallocated.
• 34:02
  Yeah, that just sounds like false advertising.
• 34:04
  And also also Windows, since we're most of all of us are
• 34:09
  Windows. Windows calculates a TB, a GB, a
• 34:12
  MB differently in from other. Sources.
• 34:18
  So I bought a four terabyte hard drive SSD and I only have 3.63
• 34:23
  but there there's like nothing on it.
• 34:26
  Well, there's, there's partitions.
• 34:28
  You have a, you have a, you know your, you know, your file system
• 34:35
  that's in there. So when you format to NTFS or
• 34:39
  FAT 32, if you just really want to hurt yourself, you know when
• 34:44
  you do that, then you know you're, you're actually writing
• 34:48
  data to the disk that you know, basically, you know, encodes how
• 34:51
  all the data is going to get, you know, all the stored data is
• 34:54
  going to get arranged. But it had, but it has to write
• 34:57
  data to the disk to set all that.
• 34:59
  You know, like what's called scaffolding up.
• 35:05
  Well, this has been questions about other things.
• 35:11
  Going to be a semi weekly second jar jar.
• 35:13
  Ask questions to looking for answers for for things that that
• 35:18
  he's just not sure about. So it could be some hardware
• 35:20
  questions. I thought it was just.
• 35:22
  Might be how to pick up strangers at the airports, you
• 35:26
  know, just whatever whatever's rolling around in his head.
• 35:29
  What arm do I use? It's alien technology and we
• 35:34
  just don't know how it works. Well, our new abyss.
• 35:38
  Well Lord Anubis, thank you for joining Opencoms Radio today.
• 35:41
  We have a regular question for you and that is can you smell
• 35:45
  what CI GS got cooking in PTU? I mean, they're just, they're
• 35:52
  just adding subsystems basically like an elite, you know, some
• 35:59
  effect. What is that?
• 36:01
  Do it again. Blast, Shut up.
• 36:04
  But yeah, I mean, look, if you pop someone's power plant, an
• 36:08
  elite like you can target the power.
• 36:09
  Plant pop and pop, power plant and what baby?
• 36:13
  You know, and that does happen in PvP and sometimes it you
• 36:18
  know, but there's there's other reasons why not to just go
• 36:20
  straight out to their power plant.
• 36:21
  It's a little harder to hit sometimes so.
• 36:23
  You got to go around them. You got to start.
• 36:26
  Start. You got to start.
• 36:27
  Start as far away from the power plant as you can.
• 36:30
  That's what I usually go with. Yeah, maybe send them a comms
• 36:33
  message first, you know? Yeah, talk to.
• 36:36
  Them for a little bit. So that's all they're adding.
• 36:40
  They're just they're just adding more, as you said, more health
• 36:43
  bars. You know, some are more critical
• 36:47
  than others. Some will have different effects
• 36:49
  than others. So you can knockout Shields, you
• 36:52
  can knockout engines, you could knockout weapons, who knows?
• 36:56
  You know, I mean there's reasons to do that.
• 36:58
  You know, sometimes you're not, you know, you're not going to be
• 37:02
  able to hit that hole, but you can target Shields and then have
• 37:05
  someone else hit that hole, you know, So I mean, like it, it
• 37:08
  does lend to strategy. However, it it, this is a game
• 37:15
  that's incredibly complicated to create dynamics for for some
• 37:19
  reason, I still don't get it. I mean, there's plenty of other
• 37:25
  models out there to copy. I don't think that you can
• 37:29
  really technically copy anything because everything is a copy of
• 37:32
  a copy of a copy from going back 20, 30 years, 40 years of video
• 37:38
  games. So you know.
• 37:41
  But CIG likes to reinvent everything.
• 37:45
  Yeah, but they're they're also and then.
• 37:47
  Realize their reinvention isn't up to par and then scale it back
• 37:50
  to something that already exists.
• 37:52
  Yeah, and and and that that's that's The thing is that your
• 37:58
  question? Can I smell what CIG is cooking?
• 38:01
  Cig can't smell what CIG is cooking.
• 38:05
  They don't know yet. Burn they don't know yet.
• 38:10
  So so you're you're hypothesizing that they have no
• 38:13
  plan. They have no menu, No.
• 38:15
  Recipe they they have a system in place and they'll figure it
• 38:19
  out later. They don't know what they're
• 38:21
  doing yet. This is this is I mean the
• 38:25
  flight model come on, the flight model.
• 38:28
  I mean, they still don't know what they're doing.
• 38:31
  Yeah, it's not finalized. They have plans, but is that
• 38:35
  going to be the last one or how many times it going to get
• 38:37
  redesigned master modes, whether or not like Ballistics work in
• 38:43
  game, which has been a long time since Ballistics has been
• 38:47
  important at all. And, you know, I mean, these are
• 38:51
  these are things that they constantly just kind of throw
• 38:54
  into the air and change Willy nilly.
• 38:56
  And you know, I mean, from one year to the next, they got a
• 39:01
  different vision and. I don't know about that.
• 39:05
  It feels that feels like such like a a tired argument.
• 39:09
  But it is, it, is it. Can it be tired?
• 39:12
  I mean, if it's been this long and it's still going on, yeah.
• 39:17
  I mean, I think I think. It's not going.
• 39:19
  On I think the argument there. Is the way you're describing it.
• 39:21
  You're you're looking at it. It's iterative, right?
• 39:26
  Their, their viewpoint and their plan all along is that it's
• 39:29
  going to be iterative and it. I'll get the great example of
• 39:32
  his weapons balance and the flight model.
• 39:36
  I don't think those two things will ever be both finalized.
• 39:41
  Yeah, as long as people are playing the.
• 39:42
  Thing they will. Be changing those things it it
• 39:45
  won't be I mean as far as like little things here and there
• 39:48
  like they'll always be oh you know we've this patch we decided
• 39:51
  to you know, tweak, you know, heavy fighters or something
• 39:54
  like. That tweak it but.
• 39:56
  Not like. It's.
• 39:57
  Just it's just going to be introducing, introduce one new
• 40:01
  ship, which you know, they're bound to be introducing ships
• 40:03
  left, right and center. Introduce a new weapon or a new
• 40:07
  something a little bit faster. As soon as that happens, you're
• 40:10
  going to have to rejigger everything.
• 40:12
  You're going to have to balance. And that's just part of.
• 40:16
  Yeah. And then that's the thing.
• 40:17
  You know, it's just a small indie company.
• 40:19
  I mean it. Takes time.
• 40:21
  I mean, that's the thing. It's it's they've got a system
• 40:25
  in place, but even they don't know where it is going to go.
• 40:29
  Yeah. I think they have plans they
• 40:31
  have. Plans Brock Brock They even in
• 40:35
  the PTU. They have plans.
• 40:37
  They're not, they're not sharing everything with us.
• 40:40
  I think that our concept of like what their plans are is not a
• 40:46
  good idea of what their plans are.
• 40:50
  Like we've seen, we've seen like what the modern iteration of
• 40:54
  what engineering is looking like.
• 40:57
  It's looking good. It's looking like the next step.
• 41:00
  And I feel like to say to look at it be like, no, they don't
• 41:03
  know what they're doing. Actually, it's just like, I
• 41:05
  don't know how long we've been doing this for.
• 41:08
  Like they've shown that they're like getting better.
• 41:11
  They're they're a different company than we're in 2016.
• 41:13
  Like we can always say like, oh, CID is dumb.
• 41:15
  CID doesn't know what they're doing.
• 41:17
  But like, doesn't that ever get boring?
• 41:19
  The do you never feel like it's like not relevant still like
• 41:24
  it's not the same company it was 10 years ago?
• 41:27
  I feel like it's not relevant because everyone keeps buying
• 41:29
  ships and playing the game anyway.
• 41:32
  Exactly. So it's like a fun little like
• 41:34
  fun joke to make, but like in a serious conversation, like, do
• 41:38
  you, do people actually think that?
• 41:42
  I'm sorry, was was anything I say I'm not.
• 41:45
  One of them, but. I don't know.
• 41:48
  I don't. Know, I mean, it's it feels like
• 41:50
  when it's like they don't know what they're doing, they don't
• 41:52
  know this, they don't know that it's like.
• 41:54
  Not what I'm doing, I said. They don't know where they're
• 41:57
  going with this yet, yeah. They don't.
• 42:02
  They they don't have AI mean to some extent that is true that
• 42:05
  they don't have a they don't. Say they don't know what they're
• 42:07
  doing. I mean, they obviously know how
• 42:08
  to build a game and systems. They don't know where this is
• 42:11
  going to lead to yet. I mean, they may, they may have.
• 42:14
  However. Yeah.
• 42:15
  You have a plan. You have a concept of a plan.
• 42:19
  You you have a thought of a concept of a plan.
• 42:21
  New systems you introduce larger and larger things you introduce
• 42:25
  crafting. All of this stuff has to change
• 42:28
  like it will change. It is a system in place, but
• 42:32
  even they don't know how it's going to evolve because they
• 42:35
  can't. No one really can know because
• 42:39
  because it it, it reacts between the community versus features
• 42:42
  versus new gameplay. It all has to change every time.
• 42:46
  And there's no way for them to plan out.
• 42:48
  OK, well, by this year we're going to have all of this
• 42:52
  perfectly set in stone because they can't.
• 42:53
  They can't. They can't possibly say that.
• 42:56
  And they say they don't know what they're doing and said they
• 42:58
  don't know where it's going yet. I mean, they probably, I mean,
• 43:01
  they have a plan, right? They've got an idea of what they
• 43:03
  want to do. But I think as they bring on
• 43:06
  these, these massive new systems and put them in front of all
• 43:10
  these, these crazy people who we meet online in the verse, that's
• 43:16
  going to give them some feedback.
• 43:17
  And it it's definitely going to evolve over time.
• 43:23
  Yeah, Speaking of evolving. I will say this.
• 43:26
  All right, wiki last word. Let's let them talk.
• 43:29
  Go ahead, let the Guild master talk.
• 43:31
  Oh, very good, very good. So our our next guest here on
• 43:33
  Open Comms Radio is Murphy Jack. Murphy Jack, you know what's
• 43:38
  going on? This week's question Can you
• 43:40
  smell what CI GS got cooking in PTU?
• 43:45
  Hello. Yeah.
• 43:46
  I mean, yeah, it is. It seems like it's very much in
• 43:52
  flux from when I played with Rob and Hobo last.
• 43:57
  And now I think it it this is definitely a step in the right
• 44:04
  direction. But one thing that was worrying
• 44:08
  me, but I see they're addressing it now was like the time to kill
• 44:13
  and like you guys were saying, the light fighter meta and all
• 44:16
  this. I I just feel like eventually
• 44:20
  they're just going to have to switch turret weapons to be
• 44:26
  different from the rest of them because they've shortened the
• 44:31
  distances already, but it's still like not enough.
• 44:37
  You know what, you know what I mean?
• 44:38
  Like the turret has taken. Up the fighters too quickly.
• 44:43
  And PvP fighters are still like it's it makes more sense to have
• 44:49
  two people and two fighters versus 2 people.
• 44:53
  And like the paladin, you still the the weapon projectile speed
• 45:01
  is still low enough where they can sit out at the at the fringe
• 45:04
  of the effective range and you just cannot hit them.
• 45:10
  It's just, it's just hard. And I'm talking strictly PVPI
• 45:13
  mean PV, like we could said earlier, we were doing really
• 45:17
  well, but that's Pve. But I just feel like everybody
• 45:20
  has said it a ton of times. Make turret weapons like
• 45:25
  different, make projectile speed faster, make them dangerous.
• 45:29
  I mean, there's somebody show up in an arrow and they see a
• 45:33
  pallid and they shouldn't be like, well, this will be easy.
• 45:37
  You know, there's just a Bob and a pallid and like I'm going to
• 45:40
  take them out. So isn't that what the armor is?
• 45:43
  My worry with it? I don't I our original
• 45:50
  understanding of armor is not what is in there now.
• 45:54
  I I didn't I didn't think armor was just a second health bull or
• 45:59
  that's what it was going to be. That's what it seems like it is,
• 46:02
  but you know it it make you're gonna you're you're putting more
• 46:10
  people on these bigger ships now and you're gonna be running
• 46:15
  around doing stuff in a in a fight.
• 46:17
  And I'm talking particularly PvP and all this and you're gonna be
• 46:20
  running all around in a fight. So you now you've gone from, you
• 46:24
  know the paladin being the two person.
• 46:26
  Well yeah, I mean two person to to have three people but still
• 46:33
  get takes out taken out by an arrow.
• 46:35
  That's I just in this current iteration, we're still like sort
• 46:40
  of wasting some people's time by going out in a big ship to a
• 46:46
  light frighter furball with people that know what they're
• 46:50
  doing. I just that that's to me needs
• 46:53
  to be addressed. You need to make it fun to be in
• 46:57
  that big ship in a PvP situation.
• 47:02
  Not everybody's PvP, but you know, we all ended up
• 47:06
  gravitating towards it, right? So you need to make it a little
• 47:09
  more enjoyable to be on this big ship in a PvP situation versus I
• 47:16
  got this life writer buzzing me and we're just going to die like
• 47:19
  a madness in an arrow and a paladin.
• 47:21
  They interdict a paladin. There's no way that they should
• 47:25
  just be able to pick apart the paladin.
• 47:27
  Easy peasy. The paladin should be able to
• 47:29
  put up a fight and win if the people are competent.
• 47:36
  Well, I think there's, there's two parts there.
• 47:37
  If there's the the weapons, the turrets that you can change and
• 47:41
  enhance like make them stronger, make them shoot farther or not
• 47:46
  far or not near enough or there. Faster.
• 47:49
  The armor well, or you have the armor where there's smaller
• 47:52
  ships just aren't going to Pierce the.
• 47:54
  Armor real quick, like there was a time that just the guy and I
• 48:01
  would take the Hurricane and we would put Singes off of a banner
• 48:05
  defender on it. Those things were like almost
• 48:08
  like a hit scan in terms of the I forgot how fast they shot, but
• 48:13
  it's like 5000 meters a second or something.
• 48:15
  It was like, you know, and in reference, Rhinos repeaters are
• 48:19
  1600. So these things like boom, they
• 48:22
  shot and we were taking people out left and right like easily
• 48:28
  because we could just sit. We didn't have to, we didn't
• 48:30
  have to keep closing the gap to be effective.
• 48:32
  He could sit out, we could sit at like 1.5 kilometers and just
• 48:36
  light these people up sort of, well, you know, I say easy, but
• 48:40
  there is still quite a bit of skill involved with it.
• 48:44
  You had to, you had to time the shots and all that.
• 48:49
  So it's like that. It showed us that it's possible
• 48:52
  and it's there, but just they got to do something.
• 48:57
  Well, I mean, when when we're talking about, you know, ideas
• 49:01
  of having large fleet battles and things like that, I mean, we
• 49:05
  talk about World War 2 and space or Star Wars or whatever.
• 49:10
  You know, you have your fighters and the fighters are a threat to
• 49:13
  capital ships and that's why they have to bring their own
• 49:16
  fighters. And that's what makes it a fleet
• 49:18
  battle. And that that's kind of like, I
• 49:21
  see the difficulty in trying to encourage that style of
• 49:24
  gameplay, but like than we facing the reality that it's
• 49:28
  largely just two people, you know, encountering each other.
• 49:34
  It shouldn't, don't take it in. I'm saying like it should be
• 49:36
  impossible to take this ship out, right?
• 49:39
  What I'm getting at is it shouldn't be a no win situation
• 49:44
  98% of the time because they're just gonna out.
• 49:48
  They're just gonna sit at your fringe and you're not gonna be
• 49:50
  able to hit them 'cause that's the, that's the reality of it
• 49:52
  right now. That's what everybody talks
• 49:54
  about. That's why there's nobody in
• 49:56
  multiker ships. There's hardly anybody even
• 49:59
  running a Hurricane or Scorpius right now.
• 50:02
  Yeah. PvP, Yeah.
• 50:05
  Is this thing back to the previous flight model where we
• 50:07
  used to be in Hurricanes and Distorpiuses?
• 50:10
  Remember. I mean that during the
• 50:11
  distortion meta, it was like it was there, it was possible just
• 50:17
  because I fly, but. And, and the weapons, you know,
• 50:21
  they all had distinct and, and very real, you know, differences
• 50:27
  in how they affected the other players.
• 50:29
  And, and that's something that we haven't had in a long time.
• 50:32
  And how I mean that that that definitely has to, has to really
• 50:38
  come back. I I I think just to add more
• 50:41
  depth. It's well depth, right?
• 50:45
  Something else that worried me with this whole thing.
• 50:48
  Well, not, not so much worried, but kind of was like, man, I
• 50:51
  hope they get this out back in like what 310 whatever you used
• 50:57
  to be able to over clock components.
• 50:59
  There's a section you could over clock them.
• 51:01
  I remember. You got more like the I feel
• 51:06
  like a lot of us, I don't want to speak for everybody, but I
• 51:08
  feel like a lot of us talked about the tuning aspect of
• 51:12
  engineering, like, hey, you know, I got a good shot.
• 51:15
  Give me give me over clock my weapons or, you know, and run
• 51:19
  the risk of lighting your components on fire.
• 51:24
  Like that sort of thing is going to make it even more like
• 51:28
  enjoyable to be engineer because as it is right now, like it's
• 51:34
  going to be fun to an extent, you know, running around doing
• 51:37
  fires and stuff. But in order for it to like be
• 51:43
  really neat, like and share these presets that you can save,
• 51:48
  imagine overclocking and tuning your ship and like, Hey, I got
• 51:51
  this awesome tune for your, for your ship.
• 51:53
  Just click this if you get lined up for a good shot or, or click
• 51:57
  this if you, you know, you're in the ship and you know you're
• 52:01
  going out and constantly like tweaking cooling values or
• 52:05
  shield values, shield faces. I mean, you can do shield faces
• 52:08
  on bigger ships, but just think of all that, like engineers
• 52:12
  watching what's happening to the ship more than just, oh, shit,
• 52:15
  this is on fire or there's fire here.
• 52:18
  Oh, I got to repair this. You could have crafted and
• 52:22
  modded components. You know, I'm an engineer.
• 52:26
  I can tune this engine up to be 10% more efficient without
• 52:29
  losing the, you know, the heat problem or whatever, you know,
• 52:33
  or you know, hey, I can get the I, I know how to over clock
• 52:36
  these Shields without, you know, draining more power.
• 52:40
  You know, I mean, there's a there you can put a little
• 52:42
  percentage of every little tiny thing on your own little thing
• 52:45
  and get it purring. Yeah.
• 52:48
  And I think, I mean, they have talked about it.
• 52:50
  So I'm sure they intend to do something to this extent.
• 52:53
  And I know we're in the very beginning stages of getting
• 52:55
  engineered alive, so they get a pass, but like this, this sort
• 53:00
  of stuff needs to be, you know, cooking.
• 53:05
  Right. It's good to talk about it.
• 53:06
  It's good to. Be.
• 53:08
  Get everyone talking about it, get the feedback, get the ideas.
• 53:11
  I mean they they're listening. I'm sure CI GS listening in
• 53:15
  right now 'cause they. Know what they're.
• 53:18
  Listening right now, you know they see.
• 53:19
  In the room with us. Right now.
• 53:21
  And they did listed like the turret change or the, well, not
• 53:24
  turret changes, but the, the weapon range changes.
• 53:28
  And I was optimistic at the start of it, but after getting
• 53:30
  in and playing with it a little bit, it's like, well, it's,
• 53:34
  it's, it's better, but it's still not there.
• 53:38
  And I just, that's why I say, like everybody talks about make
• 53:41
  turret weapons different from ship weapons.
• 53:44
  But I understand that, you know, that's would be a really big
• 53:48
  undertaking the way they have everything built.
• 53:53
  Yeah, yeah, this is a big, big old PTU patch.
• 53:58
  They got a lot going on in in this one, which is pretty cool
• 54:00
  for the end of the year to be honest.
• 54:03
  You know, usually if I don't remember call last year, if we
• 54:07
  were as had had as much to talk about at the end of the year as
• 54:14
  we do this year, it seems, but someone who has some maybe some
• 54:20
  new insights, something new to talk about.
• 54:22
  First time caller of the show is going to join our guests on the
• 54:26
  couch. On the couch today we have
• 54:27
  Murphy Jack, we have Lord Anubis, we have broccoli Rob
• 54:31
  Wickett, my Co host Duke. Later the second I'm Jar Jar
• 54:34
  Jabroni, and joining us on Open Comms Radio for the first time
• 54:38
  ever is Crotch Mullet. What's radio?
• 54:44
  Well, thanks for having me. I want to put my Oh, thank you.
• 54:48
  I want to put my two cents in here.
• 54:51
  I have no idea what's going on in Star Citizens, so I just know
• 54:56
  last time I was on here, Broccoli Rob led me to fig Tree.
• 55:00
  We got some worm teeth. Murphy Jack shot 6 people in one
• 55:05
  little plate. It was impressive.
• 55:07
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In game.
• 55:08
  No, that was in DC. Yeah.
• 55:12
  So. I'm going to have to edit that
• 55:14
  out now. They're they're.
• 55:16
  Listening in but I have an idea. Does everyone know like this
• 55:24
  show, Comedians, cars getting coffee.
• 55:26
  It's just the title's good. Yeah, yeah.
• 55:30
  What is this? Comedians in cars drinking
• 55:33
  coffee. It's just Jerry Seinfeld
• 55:35
  grabbing random people in cars and just talking.
• 55:39
  How about? You guys should kidnap people
• 55:42
  and. Let him, let him speak, Let him
• 55:44
  speak. Or, well, that could be one part
• 55:47
  of it, but like maybe getting people to come pick you up in
• 55:51
  their ship, putting the paint they have or whatever, and then
• 55:55
  start a conversation. But now that you guys are
• 55:57
  talking about all this, how about trying to get some
• 56:00
  cigarettes to come pick you up and talk about things?
• 56:03
  That'd be pretty sweet. Well, they're listening,
• 56:07
  apparently. Hey guys, they're listening.
• 56:10
  So Yens, Yens, can you, Can you maybe help us out there?
• 56:15
  Just take us around Yella or something.
• 56:19
  Yeah. Or what about Wicket?
• 56:21
  What you would like citizens and ships getting Lux?
• 56:24
  Oh nice. Crouch your mouth this really
• 56:29
  balls of you have your first appearance on the show and tell
• 56:33
  and just tell us to do a different show.
• 56:34
  Drop that bomb. No, no no.
• 56:36
  This would not even harm your live thing.
• 56:38
  This would be a separate sister thing that you don't do.
• 56:40
  Live another day. Never Wednesday.
• 56:43
  You never. Yeah, you stayed.
• 56:45
  Sacred. Oh, it'd be it'd be a whole
• 56:48
  another. We'd have to do it on another
• 56:50
  day. Well, what?
• 56:50
  What about Friday? Not everything needs to be live
• 56:55
  streamed. Some of it can just be.
• 56:58
  Oh, this would definitely have just.
• 56:59
  Put on like a like a special. I have a a question that maybe
• 57:05
  you guys can help me with. It's part of our new segment
• 57:09
  questions about other things. How long should jar jar put his
• 57:14
  leftovers in the micro? No, dude, dude, you're supposed
• 57:16
  to do this. This theme song.
• 57:18
  Oh, what was the IT? Was Power Rangers.
• 57:22
  It was Power Rangers. I can't remember how the Power
• 57:25
  Rangers theme goes. It goes down.
• 57:35
  OK, Power Rangers. Questions about other things but
• 57:40
  when CIG does the newsletter it says like Thursday and like free
• 57:47
  Jatag. What is that and why do they do
• 57:51
  that? Because we asking crotch mullet
• 57:55
  or. I'll ask crotch mullet first.
• 57:59
  Oh, I I'm lost. I have no idea.
• 58:02
  Well, you know, skip Thursday. You ever heard of Thursday?
• 58:07
  Yeah. That's.
• 58:09
  Thursday. No, I know what days course but.
• 58:12
  Days of the week were named. After the gods of.
• 58:15
  Thermology, yes. Monday.
• 58:18
  Sunday, that's the moon and the sun.
• 58:23
  Tuesday, that is. Yeah.
• 58:27
  Wednesday is for Leo Adams. No.
• 58:33
  So then once. Then it was a different day.
• 58:38
  Well, you learn something new everyday.
• 58:43
  Speaking of learning new things, I learned that the Vandual
• 58:47
  models are very big and pretty cool and pretty neat.
• 58:53
  I'll say a lot of what I've been doing when I've been jumping in
• 58:56
  the game is being like oh that's neat.
• 59:01
  I don't know if anyone else has a similar feeling.
• 59:06
  I don't, I don't know that that whole like slugging down the
• 59:10
  throat of the of that one vandal ship is a little disconcerting.
• 59:18
  Why is that? It just, oh, I don't know, it
• 59:22
  just feels like you're being eaten by the ship or something
• 59:27
  like that. It's just.
• 59:29
  Gross. It's neat.
• 59:31
  It's just, you know, through esophagus.
• 59:35
  I'm serious. I think it's been a lot of neat
• 59:37
  stuff every, every patch because they're putting out content.
• 59:40
  It's neat. And then, you know, you
• 59:44
  supposedly have this new single player game coming, coming down
• 59:46
  the pipe next year, What video game awards are like tomorrow.
• 59:52
  What's the? Squadron 42.
• 59:54
  What's that? I've never heard of that.
• 59:56
  It's like it's like Grand Theft Auto in space.
• 59:59
  OK, cool. Yes, it's actually like Star Fox
• 1:00:02
  in space. Do a barrel roll.
• 1:00:06
  Yeah, if you think about Squadron 4/2 is basically
• 1:00:10
  basically seems like it's just like, yeah, contemporary Star
• 1:00:12
  Fox because Nintendo couldn't do it.
• 1:00:15
  It dropped the ball too many times.
• 1:00:18
  Yeah, because you'd get it. Yeah, so, but all the all the
• 1:00:22
  set pieces, all of the environments, all of the, the,
• 1:00:27
  the stuff that isn't like mechanical stuff, that isn't
• 1:00:29
  like, you know, features and stuff, it's all, it's all pretty
• 1:00:34
  neat. The worm, the tanks, crotch Moet
• 1:00:38
  back me up here. Yeah.
• 1:00:40
  No. I think since I've been gone
• 1:00:44
  I've missed out on a lot of stuff and now that I'm back I'm
• 1:00:47
  more like, I've been playing with Wicked and I've been owing
• 1:00:51
  and awing and he's just been like, no.
• 1:00:53
  No, don't do it all. Don't you do that?
• 1:00:58
  Yeah, see, I think a lot of this bitterness comes from these old
• 1:01:02
  men who are play this game like every day.
• 1:01:06
  Shots fired. If if you just fuck took a
• 1:01:09
  break, you know. If you just.
• 1:01:13
  Cut some, touch some grass, you know.
• 1:01:16
  And Wicked. Let me enjoy the magic.
• 1:01:18
  Just just let me enjoy it. I mean, I don't get to play as
• 1:01:22
  much as I did have been working a lot.
• 1:01:24
  But like I will say, like some of the last couple times I've
• 1:01:28
  been playing Wicket was there ever, but I think everybody here
• 1:01:32
  was there, maybe not crotch mullet, but engaging over at the
• 1:01:38
  at the worm and that other org just dropping ichtes left and
• 1:01:42
  right. Oh, that was hell.
• 1:01:44
  That was awesome. Is this the last time we went?
• 1:01:48
  Because yeah, that's what I was talking.
• 1:01:50
  About listen that that that event, that event brought to
• 1:01:53
  light that I had had a severe problem in my computer and it's
• 1:01:56
  cost me a, a probably $5000. Oh yeah, my Moran, that seems.
• 1:02:01
  Like a lot. That that that worm, that worm
• 1:02:04
  event sucked. You needed another 30-2 gigs of
• 1:02:08
  DDR5. No.
• 1:02:12
  It's all grand I. Won't get into it here, but
• 1:02:15
  let's just say. Did you need to buy a shed to
• 1:02:18
  put your computer? In I was.
• 1:02:21
  I swiped when I shouldn't. Have oh I should just swiped
• 1:02:23
  left. In any event, in any event,
• 1:02:30
  crotch Muller, I'll tell, I'll tell you this.
• 1:02:32
  I'll make this promise to you once 4.5 comes out and we have
• 1:02:36
  this, this whole magical, you know, wonderful engineering
• 1:02:42
  experience. I'll make sure you're down in
• 1:02:44
  the dungeon of engineering and you can experience all the magic
• 1:02:48
  you want on any of my engineering requires Sexual.
• 1:02:52
  That's a promise. I'll be like, oh, what does this
• 1:02:55
  button do? I'm just turning.
• 1:02:56
  Around Oh my God, I'm. Going to give you.
• 1:02:59
  Dexter's last vibe. Yeah, he's going to have the the
• 1:03:02
  engineering suit with the zipper.
• 1:03:04
  Oh God. There there is one thing that I
• 1:03:07
  don't know if it's been addressed on here yet or not,
• 1:03:10
  but there's one person here that spent more during A i.e.
• 1:03:14
  IAE than the rest of us. God damn.
• 1:03:19
  Oh really? All the poo poo and all the all
• 1:03:22
  the, you know, dream destroying comes from Yeah, somebody that
• 1:03:29
  spent more money on IE than. The.
• 1:03:32
  Rest of us combined the soul. Question What'd you buy?
• 1:03:35
  Wicked. Why are you pointing fingers at
• 1:03:39
  me right away? Listen, listen, listen.
• 1:03:45
  I'm the biggest space hypocrite there is.
• 1:03:48
  I know. I'm always the the first guy to
• 1:03:52
  throw cold water on the Star Citizen flame of innovation.
• 1:03:57
  It's all. Right.
• 1:03:57
  So the the wicket, wicket. You're just going to be throwing
• 1:04:00
  out money left and right. I, I, I, I.
• 1:04:03
  You track orders, phasers. You want a lightsaber?
• 1:04:06
  How about a suit of armor? Share with us then share with us
• 1:04:10
  this light share with us the little light that keeps your
• 1:04:13
  wallet opening up. What is it about the game?
• 1:04:16
  Despite all these the problems that that you bring up on the
• 1:04:20
  show here, what keeps you coming back I.
• 1:04:23
  Just. Just keep it positive.
• 1:04:24
  So what is it? What's the secret?
• 1:04:27
  Well, you know, I'm a big, I'm a I'm a Drake fan and the, the
• 1:04:31
  Drake Clipper just spoke to me. I don't know why, sorry.
• 1:04:34
  I could see you bathing on a cling.
• 1:04:37
  Oh yeah. Like, I just love the whole
• 1:04:40
  aesthetic of it. And then and then Stupid Autumn,
• 1:04:45
  she's like going on and on and on about the wolf.
• 1:04:48
  And then we had the show where we realized the real name of the
• 1:04:52
  wolf is a wolf. I couldn't resist, so I had to
• 1:04:55
  get that. Makes better.
• 1:05:00
  So you're here. You're here for the lols, Is
• 1:05:02
  that what you're saying? And it, and it was I, I didn't,
• 1:05:06
  I, I don't like to, to melt stuff.
• 1:05:09
  I just, you know, I did melt. I got a gift from another guildy
• 1:05:14
  because I got him something in the real life and he decided,
• 1:05:17
  oh, I had to, he had to gift me something in games.
• 1:05:19
  So he gave to me one of those MTCS that several months ago I
• 1:05:23
  did upgrade that to something one of those ships.
• 1:05:26
  So it wasn't all new money. But then I'm not even going to
• 1:05:31
  say it. I bought.
• 1:05:32
  Oh. Three things.
• 1:05:35
  Javelin. Yeah, I bought.
• 1:05:37
  No, I bought the thing with the new gun with the new, the little
• 1:05:42
  car with the new gun. On Oh my word, I didn't even
• 1:05:47
  know about this one. Oh, I'm telling all myself.
• 1:05:52
  What are you going to do with that thing?
• 1:05:55
  Take the gun off and put it on a ship.
• 1:06:00
  Oh no, dude, you have a problem. I do.
• 1:06:04
  I remember there there were the good old days when you wicked on
• 1:06:07
  was only flying the Avenger, the Penguin.
• 1:06:11
  The the the Avenger Titan is you know, I, I used to rail at
• 1:06:16
  people any that that that bought anything besides.
• 1:06:19
  And your resolve was so strong that when we made shirts to go
• 1:06:24
  to Los Angeles, Murphy put the little Penguin on everyone's
• 1:06:30
  shirt in honor of Wicket, who could not be swayed to to
• 1:06:35
  purchase tickets or or new ships.
• 1:06:41
  Yep. Lo and behold.
• 1:06:44
  Everybody's just calling me out, left, right.
• 1:06:45
  I mean, I mean, it's embarrassing.
• 1:06:48
  It's not the substance, it's usually the addiction part of
• 1:06:51
  it. So he was a spice addict as of a
• 1:06:53
  couple months ago and now you're addicted to war bonds?
• 1:07:01
  It just goes to show that like we bitch about CIG all the time
• 1:07:05
  and like, oh, it's taking forever and blah blah blah blah,
• 1:07:08
  right, all this stuff, but it went.
• 1:07:09
  Probably down to it. When it comes down to it, look
• 1:07:14
  what we're doing like we're we're here.
• 1:07:17
  We're here for the long haul, right?
• 1:07:19
  What they do? I, I, I, you know, despite you
• 1:07:23
  my, my negative out outlook at times, I will say this, this,
• 1:07:27
  this. I see the potential.
• 1:07:30
  I see the dream. I want to be in that dream.
• 1:07:33
  I don't want it to be a nightmare, though.
• 1:07:36
  Not only that, I look, you know, I, I was looking at the funding
• 1:07:39
  dashboard again. Now we're at 148 million.
• 1:07:42
  We'll probably hit 150 before the end of the month for this
• 1:07:45
  year. All right, Then I start thinking
• 1:07:48
  about what? Yeah, that does sound like a lot
• 1:07:50
  of money, right? You know, we're almost, we're
• 1:07:52
  over 900 million and since 2012 of, of funding, that's just in
• 1:07:58
  funding, not investment by, by by financial folk, but actual
• 1:08:05
  game backers, players, us. That's how much we've
• 1:08:08
  contributed. And you know, truth be told,
• 1:08:12
  that's a lot of money, obviously.
• 1:08:14
  But then when you think about it, look at some, look at a
• 1:08:17
  company like Blizzard Entertainment, they make
• 1:08:21
  multiple billions a year in revenue.
• 1:08:27
  If you look at Activision Blizzard, they make you know, 3
• 1:08:30
  or $4 billion a year. Now, we don't know exactly what
• 1:08:33
  they make now anymore because they've been purchased by
• 1:08:35
  Microsoft and this another line item on theirs on the on their
• 1:08:40
  financial sheet. But I didn't you know Rockstar,
• 1:08:45
  they make probably close to a billion a year just on one
• 1:08:48
  title. So yes, a lot of money has been
• 1:08:53
  invested. Yes, you know, I'm a sucker for
• 1:08:56
  pretty spaceships, yes, I'm a hypocrite, yes.
• 1:09:00
  But the end of the day, I still get into this game almost every
• 1:09:05
  day. When I don't take long breaks
• 1:09:07
  and I have some fun, I do something that's fun, it's
• 1:09:11
  rewarding, and it keeps me coming back.
• 1:09:14
  And not only that, you know, I have this shared delusion with
• 1:09:18
  this Guild. We're all in the, in the, in on.
• 1:09:22
  And we all, you know, we're the, the, the Guild keeps me coming
• 1:09:29
  back. And, and, and I think that's a
• 1:09:33
  good thing. You know, I think it's a good
• 1:09:35
  thing. I think this community, we've,
• 1:09:37
  we've, we've all participated in the red score nomads or Guild
• 1:09:43
  that we've created or org, whatever you want to call it,
• 1:09:46
  whatever makes you happy. I think it's, it's a positive
• 1:09:49
  thing. And you know I'm glad to be a
• 1:09:51
  part of it, no matter how much fun of you make of me for
• 1:09:56
  spending stupid money. All right, so I'm going to go
• 1:10:00
  around. I'm going to ask everyone one
• 1:10:02
  question. But before we, you know, reach
• 1:10:05
  toward the end here, that question is if you weren't
• 1:10:08
  playing, spending all this time playing Star Citizen, what would
• 1:10:12
  you be doing? We're going to start.
• 1:10:15
  Let's start with Wicket. If I wasn't playing Star Citizen
• 1:10:22
  all the time, I'd probably be playing some other MMO or maybe
• 1:10:27
  spending more time in my real life hobby of astrophotography,
• 1:10:31
  or probably just working more because I work from home.
• 1:10:36
  So, you know, I have a lot of disposable income.
• 1:10:40
  I have a lot of disposable time. I could be doing anything I want
• 1:10:43
  but I keep coming back to to my space nightmare.
• 1:10:47
  Lord Nubis, if you were if. Hopefully it's a space.
• 1:10:50
  Frame Lord Nubis, if you weren't playing this, what would you be
• 1:10:52
  doing? Same thing I do every night, try
• 1:10:57
  to take out dumpkin. You know, most of the time I'm,
• 1:11:03
  you know, like working on electronics, making electronics.
• 1:11:05
  A lot of time when I'm playing I'm doing that as well.
• 1:11:08
  You know, if we're going on a long thing, I'll just solder a
• 1:11:11
  couple things here or there. So I'd probably do that more
• 1:11:13
  often and just I, you know, I do carve out time for the game, but
• 1:11:25
  not, you know, I mean, I, I don't, I don't really think that
• 1:11:30
  much would change if I, if I didn't have it, except for not
• 1:11:33
  having the friends that I, you don't have right here, you know,
• 1:11:38
  with, with all of you. So I, I, I guess if I didn't
• 1:11:43
  have this game, I would be missing that part of my life.
• 1:11:47
  Gay. Murphy, Jack, if you weren't
• 1:11:51
  playing this game, what would you be doing?
• 1:11:54
  It's tough because this has taken over such a huge part of
• 1:11:58
  my life. Like I before this, I was did
• 1:12:01
  like motorcycle trips, motorcycles, cars, you know, I
• 1:12:06
  was doing all sorts of stuff. I got to shop, but I'd always
• 1:12:11
  tinker in and stuff. But this is just Rutzgar and the
• 1:12:15
  game is just taking over. So I really, I don't know,
• 1:12:19
  probably work, be working more. I don't know.
• 1:12:24
  That's tough to say. Broccoli Rob, what would you be
• 1:12:27
  doing? I don't know.
• 1:12:30
  Train simulator maybe? Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:12:35
  I yeah train simulator. I've seen people play.
• 1:12:46
  Train simulator. It seems so boring.
• 1:12:49
  Murphy decided to actually play train.
• 1:12:52
  Yeah, well, that's different. Yeah.
• 1:12:56
  Crotch, mullet. Crotch mullet.
• 1:13:01
  You there? Yeah.
• 1:13:01
  Yeah, I'm here. It's hard because yeah, it takes
• 1:13:06
  a lot to sit down and play this game, but I love playing with
• 1:13:11
  like all of you guys and don't judge me, Jar Jar.
• 1:13:15
  But if I wasn't doing this, I guess I'd just make, I'd make
• 1:13:20
  more time to make creative videos and stuff.
• 1:13:23
  I love doing that. All right.
• 1:13:28
  And Duke, Duke, buddy, what would you be doing?
• 1:13:31
  Probably, probably something constructive, you know, helping
• 1:13:35
  my fellow man, maintaining my physical health, you know,
• 1:13:39
  learning a new skill. But thankfully we don't.
• 1:13:42
  We don't have to worry about that because we do have this
• 1:13:44
  game. Thank goodness for that.
• 1:13:48
  It is a bit disconcerting how many people would have these
• 1:13:53
  much more productive and fulfilling lives, apparently
• 1:13:55
  without this game. Yeah, I'd like to add something.
• 1:13:59
  They're just lying to themselves.
• 1:14:01
  Who's who? Who?
• 1:14:02
  Who really believes any of us? Yeah, you wouldn't be better
• 1:14:05
  people. Yeah, I.
• 1:14:07
  What about you jar Jar. What would you be doing?
• 1:14:12
  Just sleeping. I'd probably be eating more, you
• 1:14:16
  know, I don't know. Probably nothing.
• 1:14:24
  It's not. Sitting in a room, staring at a
• 1:14:26
  wall. Yeah, I've used.
• 1:14:28
  I've done that a lot. My day, I don't know.
• 1:14:32
  I don't know what I've been doing.
• 1:14:35
  I'm making a game right now. It's a lot of fun.
• 1:14:39
  Wicked also said he had a lot of disposable income, so I'd like
• 1:14:42
  to add that I'd buy more ships. Maybe with it convince him to
• 1:14:48
  send me some money so I can buy ships.
• 1:14:50
  Oh, you're lobbying him now? Wonderful.
• 1:14:53
  First appearance. Crutch mullet, right?
• 1:14:56
  I'm on the show. Just go all over the show.
• 1:14:58
  Just do something different. No, Trump doesn't do something.
• 1:15:00
  Different and then he's. Begging.
• 1:15:02
  He's over here calling Wicked Daddy, you know.
• 1:15:07
  Get into my engineering Bay. You.
• 1:15:09
  This, this, I feel like this, this new patch, when it comes
• 1:15:13
  out to PU, I'll be in Wicked's engineering thing, and then I'll
• 1:15:17
  come back upstairs to look at the view and be like, oh wow.
• 1:15:21
  And he'd be. Like get back down there, you
• 1:15:23
  don't look out this. Window.
• 1:15:28
  That's why he got the Clipper, so that you can be a floor below
• 1:15:31
  him. Wasn't this an episode of The
• 1:15:34
  Boys I. Don't know, never seen it.
• 1:15:44
  That's the one with the racist superheroes.
• 1:15:46
  No, no, it's. I mean, some are, I'm sure.
• 1:15:52
  It's like it's it's it's the wire but with capes.
• 1:15:57
  It's fucking crazy, actually. It's just it.
• 1:16:02
  Yeah, never mind. Anyways.
• 1:16:05
  Alright, anyway, any anything anyone want to add anything
• 1:16:08
  anyone want to add about about the patch before we take off
• 1:16:11
  here? I can't wait to have to
• 1:16:17
  rearrange on my shit again and find 800, you know, white
• 1:16:23
  helmets and have to dispose of them.
• 1:16:26
  That's going to be fun and hopefully I don't lose any
• 1:16:30
  ships. All right.
• 1:16:34
  Let's let's hope for things that are real, you know?
• 1:16:38
  Well, look, let's, let's end the let's end the show on a very
• 1:16:41
  positive note. In a couple of weeks, we're
• 1:16:44
  going to give this new patch 4.5.
• 1:16:46
  It's going to be fraught with difficulty and strife.
• 1:16:50
  Yes, positive, positive with it. CI GS going to go a on vacation
• 1:16:55
  until sometime in January and we're going to be left with a
• 1:17:00
  pile of engineering, pile of positive engineering.
• 1:17:06
  For Christmas. Like we do every year.
• 1:17:10
  Thank you for thank you for being positive with you.
• 1:17:14
  January 3rd. Come on.
• 1:17:16
  I don't want to go off brand too far, man.
• 1:17:19
  Come on. Yeah, well.
• 1:17:20
  Duke, you know how we end the show, usually.
• 1:17:26
