Latest / Open Comms Radio | A Star Citizen call-in show / Is the Patch Out Yet? (Patch 4.7 and Aurora MK2)
Transcript
- 0:00Is this the Aurorpius or the the the Scora Scora?
- 0:07Scora. Oh, my Scora is acting up again.
- 0:14They have a cream for that I think.
- 0:41Opencoms Radio Radio for people who believe in open
- 0:47communication, whether that's online or offline or or or in
- 0:53the wilderness or or wherever, wherever you may be.
- 0:58That's that's that's the intro today.
- 1:01I'm not, I'm not prepared today. My name is Jar Jar Jabroni.
- 1:04I'm here with my Co host Duke Lato, the second Duke Lato.
- 1:07Thanks for you for being prepared.
- 1:11I'm also not prepared, but all right, you're welcome.
- 1:13Boy. Yeah, we're not prepared.
- 1:16This is how it goes. We're only slightly less
- 1:18prepared than than average, so. Yeah, I'd say so.
- 1:24Well, we we don't usually prepare too much.
- 1:27Yeah. That's probably.
- 1:28Evident. We usually have like a question
- 1:30planned like maybe a day ahead of time.
- 1:34Yeah, more or less, more or less.
- 1:35I try to bring it as close the question as close to the show as
- 1:39possible though, because in this hyper.
- 1:42World We. Live in.
- 1:44Yeah. Yeah, we can't be.
- 1:46We can't be yesterday's news, you know?
- 1:51And as yesterday's news goes, the Aurora came out.
- 1:55Wasn't that today? Well, but we knew about it, you
- 1:59know, they announced. Yesterday, it's still it's
- 2:01fresh, you know, we got to see the the full video, got to see.
- 2:05Well, one cool thing I saw was that you can swap the modules
- 2:08with your tractor beam. I thought that was kind of cool.
- 2:11Yeah, I I have like mixed feelings about that.
- 2:16OK. I like, OK, So what size modules
- 2:23are we going to be able to lift with our tractor beam?
- 2:26But then let's say the the the hand tractor beam can't move any
- 2:32of them, but the large tractor beam can move like, you know,
- 2:37whatever. I don't know how modules are
- 2:39measured in SCU or whatever, an 8 SCU module or something.
- 2:43And then the the what's the the mech called?
- 2:49The Atlas. The Atlas.
- 2:50The Atlas and then the Atlas can move bigger modules and I'm just
- 2:55as I see this scale up, I think this is ridiculous because then
- 2:58are we going to be in space like my space station can move space
- 3:02station modules? Yeah.
- 3:04I mean, that's that would be fucking awesome.
- 3:06Yeah. If we're going to have player
- 3:08own space stations that can like build spaceships, it stands to
- 3:12reason that there would be mechanisms on that station to
- 3:15move large parts for that, right?
- 3:19Yeah. I mean, I mean, I, I don't think
- 3:22they're setting us up to say this is how all modules will
- 3:25work in the future, but it's, but it's cool to have it in this
- 3:28case, you know? Yeah, yeah, and I mean it's an
- 3:33Aurora, so it is cool to like pop it in and out.
- 3:35Hobo says they can't hear anything in the Discord, so.
- 3:39Really. OK.
- 3:40Yeah, yeah. Maybe, maybe that's just, that's
- 3:45just going to be part of the show, you know?
- 3:48This is our theme for the evening.
- 3:51Can I tell you something? I don't want to do the show
- 3:52today. Should we just cancel it?
- 3:55I feel like we should just cancel it and I I already came
- 3:57in here pretty pretty negative about doing the whole thing.
- 4:01And then to see Mr. Tim for PC comment run in the lame ass
- 4:07intro again or going back to the total badass original one we had
- 4:11before. Three question marks, you know.
- 4:19I do not, but we've, we've already gone through, you know,
- 4:23all the comments that we've found and we've established the
- 4:26fact that the new intro is the more popular one.
- 4:29Yeah, yeah. We're just giving the people
- 4:31what they want of. Course, of course.
- 4:35It's just like CIG giving the people what they want.
- 4:39Speaking of what people? Want.
- 4:43That's what I was going to ask you, Duke.
- 4:45Is the patch even out? The patch is officially out.
- 4:51Oh boy. There are reports of people we
- 4:55know playing the patch. Oh my gosh, no one watching the
- 5:01show, no one in this chat. No.
- 5:04No. I mean I I'm barely watching it
- 5:06myself. I'm just sitting here clicking
- 5:09join server over and over. You know, launch game, What the
- 5:12hell? But I don't even know.
- 5:13Don't get carpal tunnel there. I might did.
- 5:17Your did your shaders load? Nope, it's too.
- 5:21I think the furthest I've gotten was like 23% and then it crashes
- 5:24again. So before we bring up the people
- 5:28though I do I do want to, I'm wondering this.
- 5:31The shaders loading like text didn't always exist.
- 5:37Right. It's pretty new.
- 5:40So. Well, that's just part of
- 5:42Vulcan, I believe is. That what that is.
- 5:46Or I, I don't know actually, because I I've only noticed that
- 5:48since I made the switch to Vulcan.
- 5:50I don't know if that's doing that with whatever whatever it
- 5:55is the the DX11 DSI don't know. We're on DX12 now dude.
- 6:00DX11DX12. That's 2021.
- 6:03That's what I'm saying. I don't know if it's doing it
- 6:05with that or if it's just with Vulcan.
- 6:09OK, because I'm wondering how much of our issues in the past
- 6:11were because shaders were still loading in or something?
- 6:15Issues as far as like the stuttering and stuff when you
- 6:17were playing, Yeah, yeah, definitely part of it for sure.
- 6:21Must have been right? Yeah.
- 6:23They wouldn't even let you in. It was also just my shitty
- 6:26laptop that I was playing the game on.
- 6:29Oh yeah, yeah, a lot of people got to upgrade, but they can't
- 6:32because the economy. Well, yeah, because the,
- 6:38because. Because we're all being told
- 6:39that we need to use AI for everything.
- 6:42Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if, if you want to feel a,
- 6:46a, a flush with cash, just log in a Star Citizen where you
- 6:49likely have billions and billions of credits, which I
- 6:52believe are still there in this patch.
- 6:55When will they wipe? When will they not?
- 6:57I don't know. Couldn't tell you.
- 6:59Just remember to wipe, you know, front to back.
- 7:04Whoops, I do both. All right, We got our first
- 7:09caller here in the in in the waiting room.
- 7:11Duke Who is it? I don't know.
- 7:14We kind of said we were going to Cosmic Kobo, I think is our
- 7:18first caller. There we go.
- 7:20I'd say yeah. Cosmic Hobo, welcome to Open
- 7:24Comms Radio, your Star Citizen call in show.
- 7:26I'm Jar Jar Jabroni. You're here with Duke later the
- 7:282nd, and this week's question is, is the patch out yet?
- 7:36Wow hobo we even talked about this before the show all.
- 7:41Right, become psyched up, Hobo said.
- 7:43Yeah, I'm going to come. I'm going to come on the call.
- 7:46I'm not here. He's not here.
- 7:48We're. Going to leave him in here.
- 7:49He's he's sorting his Magic the Gathering cards right now.
- 7:53Hey, I got a bunch of vampires who came in.
- 7:56I have more vampires coming in tomorrow.
- 8:00Nerds. In case the Star Citizen thing
- 8:02doesn't work out, I'm going to dive into Magic the Gathering.
- 8:06But while Cosmic Hobo is figuring out how to make his
- 8:10sound work, Lord Anubis. You know him, you love him.
- 8:14Lord Anubis, Is the patch out yet?
- 8:17No, I heard it was. No.
- 8:21Are you playing it? No.
- 8:24That it's not out. Yeah, fair fucking point.
- 8:28We're we're we're playing a preloading this, this is this is
- 8:31preload. It's true.
- 8:33I mean, the errors that it's kicking out.
- 8:36I've read something in Spectrum, it's related to you being too
- 8:40far in the queue and the system like trying to shuffle that
- 8:43away. Interesting.
- 8:46So trying to shuffle like me away.
- 8:49Yeah, so it can actually log people in.
- 8:52It's like having to slop people off the off the queue and then
- 8:59they are reporting degraded performance right now as well.
- 9:03They are. Yeah, yeah.
- 9:05OK. Well, it's official.
- 9:07We'll do the show. Well, you're already doing the
- 9:09show. Oh.
- 9:11This guy. It was a Discord thing.
- 9:14I was in two channels at once. The discord doesn't like that.
- 9:17What other channel were you in? I was in the private version of
- 9:20this. There's a private version.
- 9:23No, no. No.
- 9:25No. Open comms after.
- 9:27Clark only only for people who have hosted and.
- 9:32You got to ask me the question. 00.
- 9:36Oh. Cosmic Homo Is the patch out
- 9:40yet? Technically.
- 9:43OK. All right.
- 9:44Different way to look at it. You and you and Anubis have the
- 9:47same mindset here. I mean, it took me, so I almost
- 9:52got fully equipped and dressed and all my ships out in record
- 9:56time, and then the inventory back end just kind of crapped
- 9:59out and it's been a slob ever since.
- 10:03So in live, Yeah. Well hey, you're in there.
- 10:10So I assume you've you've loaded all your your shaders then?
- 10:14Yes, a while ago and and Rob is correct that there is some sort
- 10:17of weird echo going on. Echo is it.
- 10:23We have an echo going on. Yeah.
- 10:25Reverb OK, so jar jar just updated his obs Yeah, which is
- 10:32always a great thing to do right before you need to use it live.
- 10:35Is that what you need to? Start always.
- 10:40Always, always, always kids don't.
- 10:42Don't do this look. I've had I've been very busy
- 10:46this. Week.
- 10:46Remember, kids show up 15 minutes early, you know, bring
- 10:50an extra shirt in your car. Yeah.
- 10:53Is it? Is it still echoey?
- 10:55Because it shouldn't, I thought. It you're the only one that
- 10:57doesn't, and that's clearly because it's.
- 10:58It's actually not. I'm not hearing any echo either.
- 11:03One of your one of your inputs you were echoing for me, you
- 11:08were echoing on the stream I guess is the best way to put it.
- 11:11I fucking hate so much when I'm watching.
- 11:13Those other. Guys.
- 11:14And they stop the show and then they're like, oh, let me fix the
- 11:17YouTube or let me fix the And every time I'm like, fucking
- 11:21such fucking amateurs. Here I am.
- 11:26Just get a mirror out and start saying that to yourself.
- 11:29Should we pour some milk on it? No, I fixed it.
- 11:33Groovy. Groovy.
- 11:36All right guys, so let's get back to the fucking topic at
- 11:38hand. We have the show.
- 11:39The RSI Aurora came out. I have issues with with this
- 11:43modulation, but can I tell you what I I'm not, I'm not angry,
- 11:48you know, OK, I'm not furious. At CAG, I'm not.
- 11:51I'm not. Offended.
- 11:52I'm not miffed. No.
- 11:55Perfectly calm. Perfectly calm.
- 11:57What are you? What are you perfectly calm
- 11:58about? Jar Jar, What has you?
- 12:01What has you so calm right now? I listen, I'm going to put it
- 12:06out there that I think a lot of people are taking this game a
- 12:11little too seriously. What?
- 12:14And you're totally calm about that.
- 12:16Wow, coming at us with the hot ticks you.
- 12:20Know he's not hot about it there's nothing hot about this
- 12:23there's. No in news in news today, folks,
- 12:25water is wet. No, but you know, you go, you
- 12:30go. People are miffed.
- 12:32This new Aurora came out. It's awesome.
- 12:35Why? Why?
- 12:36See, you don't know the drama, Duke.
- 12:37You've been hanging out with your kids too much.
- 12:39You've been living in the real world.
- 12:42Get get on your phone. I've been touching grass.
- 12:44Get off that fucking grass and get on the keyboard.
- 12:47All right, tell me. Tell me about the drama.
- 12:49The new RSI Aurora looks too much like the Scorpius, they
- 12:53say. Seriously, that's their fucking
- 12:56drama. And that's apparently a bad
- 12:58thing, even though that's what people probably really wanted
- 13:01was the wings and the flying. It's such a good thing.
- 13:05It looks so good. It I mean, it looks like you
- 13:08took the Aurora and the Scorpius and you squished them together
- 13:11and that's that would seem like an obvious logical route for,
- 13:17you know, a ship evolution in the same manufacturer.
- 13:21But. Yeah.
- 13:24Yeah, Lord Nubis, you were you were the first one to call in.
- 13:26I want to give you a moment here.
- 13:27What do you think of the Aurora? Is this the Aurorpius or the the
- 13:34the the Scora Scorora? Scora.
- 13:39Oh my Scorora is acting up again.
- 13:44They have a cream for that I think.
- 13:49I I think it's cool. I'm glad they're developing
- 13:53chips that are starters again. That's a good thing.
- 13:57Yeah. And useful.
- 13:59Yeah. Yeah, it's useful and gives
- 14:01people getting into the game a little bit more, you know,
- 14:04enjoyment. I mean, when I got in, it was
- 14:05just the Mustang. That was all they had.
- 14:10Yeah. Oh, this?
- 14:11Is Aurora It's always been. The Aurora.
- 14:13Aurora was first, yeah. Aurora, Yeah, yeah, the Aurora
- 14:16and then and then the Mustang because, you know, I signed up
- 14:20for this game, what, 2016 or so. So here we are 10 years later,
- 14:25we got now another Aurora. Progress there.
- 14:29You go question. I haven't been in the Aurora in
- 14:34ages. Did they make it usable?
- 14:39Like is it, is it in a good place for them to leave it and
- 14:41be like this is how it's going to be?
- 14:43It's not going to change. Yeah, I had to go fast.
- 14:46It better be, yeah. OK, it's the components.
- 14:50Come on. Mark 1 you mean?
- 14:53Dude they cannot release ships anymore that are not like
- 14:59finished. Was that just a challenge?
- 15:02Were you? No, this is.
- 15:03This is just like. Sorry, they cannot.
- 15:05What do we do next week? Look.
- 15:09I mean, did you? I know, I know.
- 15:10I know we just you shifted. The Gauntlet and they're going
- 15:13to immediately just, well, they already did.
- 15:15The Aurora Mark 2 doesn't have lamp and that's like supposed to
- 15:18be a. Standard team, yeah, I can't I
- 15:23take that they. I will say though, it looks like
- 15:26one of those ships from Avatar. Oh, the shot.
- 15:32Right here. Yeah, I didn't think about that.
- 15:33Damn it, you're right. Yeah.
- 15:38I don't remember seeing any ships in the Last Airbender.
- 15:41Designs in Avatar, like the ship designs, the vehicle designs, I
- 15:46liked those. Is them like the Fire Nation
- 15:49airships? No, no, no, no, no.
- 15:51The the the evil, totally not America imperialist faction.
- 15:57Wait, the the humans are? You talking about The Last
- 16:00Airbender or the Blue movie? No, no, no.
- 16:02No, no, no. We're talking about the movie
- 16:04where it was centered around like the land and then the next
- 16:09one was centered around the sea and then the one after that was
- 16:11centered around the fire. Not, not the other one, without
- 16:14the fire on the earth and the water.
- 16:16Not the. Other one centered around the
- 16:19the the land and and and the No, no no, the other one.
- 16:25OK, good point. Got your point.
- 16:28You know what guys? I want to bring up Bill All.
- 16:31Right. Bam.
- 16:32Bill, Bill, Bill I want. To bring up perfect bill.
- 16:34Bill one the only. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think.
- 16:38Bill. Wicket would approve.
- 16:41Bill, I saw we were talking about the Scorpius and and you
- 16:45raised your hand. So I know you're going to want
- 16:47to talk about the Scorpius, but just for the moment, Bill, is
- 16:50the patch out yet? Oh, it's.
- 16:52Holy shit I'm in. Hang on, Yeah, I've been trying
- 16:55to get in, but sorry, I was trying to open Twitch and I
- 16:58something started playing. It was driving me nuts because I
- 17:01don't want to get in the open comps just so I can, you know,
- 17:04try to pump the viewers. Oh, that's what that's.
- 17:08What's just trying to That's what I do.
- 17:11Thank you. Comments if needed but yeah I
- 17:15watched the video for the Aurora mark 2 a little bit ago but yeah
- 17:18I'm going to login. Global login queue 5276 is my
- 17:23position. You take 40 minutes, but I'm I'm
- 17:28trying to get the It's like it just forced closes on me like it
- 17:32crashes. Just keep going, baby.
- 17:35Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I'm just keep going.
- 17:37That's what I'm doing because I just wanted to play around for a
- 17:39little bit, do some do some things.
- 17:41But over to the Aurorpius, which AI love that name.
- 17:45That's awesome. But I thought it looked a lot
- 17:47like the the little Firefly type ships from Doom.
- 17:51Oh yeah, they're going for. Their game.
- 17:53Oh, the rim. Fafter.
- 17:55Yeah, the fafter. That's it.
- 17:56Yeah, I thought of the clock. But.
- 17:58Man I think that ship looks pretty cool and the modules is
- 18:02kind of cool the way those work in the mix a lot of sense.
- 18:06I thought the sneak peeks the other day were new cryopods or
- 18:09something weird maybe like long distance cryo.
- 18:12I don't know who knows I'm dumb. But either way those looks
- 18:16pretty sweet. I thought it was cool on the
- 18:18paints and the Aurora SE I thought, look the mark one I
- 18:23see. I thought it was pretty cool.
- 18:25They added like everything from all the auroras into one.
- 18:28I just kind of wish they would make the wings pop out like the
- 18:31two but keep like I don't know if they could.
- 18:34But because I've always thought the Aurora mark one just kind of
- 18:37looked like, I don't know, like a long Wang because it's just
- 18:43like narrow and long. I never was an Aurora.
- 18:47Go on. I'm not going to say it looks
- 18:50like any Wang I've ever seen, but I'm also not going to say it
- 18:54doesn't look like a Wang. Well, it could be.
- 18:56See, my thought process was more along the lines of like an
- 18:59Optimus Prime Dong or like a Megatron Dong, but.
- 19:04Yeah, it. Could be.
- 19:06I could see that. Well it technically if the
- 19:08Aurora it wouldn't be Optimus Prime, it would be Optimus Omega
- 19:13or something. Oh yeah, it could be the the
- 19:15prime when he has the purple on his face.
- 19:19Nemesis Prime. Optimist light maybe?
- 19:23Yeah, something as big as him. You'd think he'd be packing some
- 19:27heat. Sounds like suboptimist.
- 19:30Yeah, see there it is. There it is.
- 19:32Yep, this is what they do in writers rooms.
- 19:36It's like 40 rock. Like it's just.
- 19:40Yeah, OK. With that, I love 40 Rock.
- 19:42Yeah, it's funny, all right, y'all?
- 19:44It's a different type. Look, Speaking of rocks, patches
- 19:48out, there's this big rock mission.
- 19:50The the big the big old rock breaker.
- 19:52Yeah. I think some of you, I think
- 19:56Hobo, maybe you played a little bit, maybe you guys were in the
- 19:58all waves PTU Anubis, did you pop into it at all?
- 20:02I did not try the the rock breaker IF around with inventory
- 20:09a little bit and realized it was the same thing as before.
- 20:12So that's all. Well, I think it's before.
- 20:16It's different. That's.
- 20:19The same what? How dare you?
- 20:23Functioning and usability? No I I went to 4.7 Functioning,
- 20:28usability. It's still pretty much I don't
- 20:31really notice. I heard you can double click
- 20:33shit in my life. I heard.
- 20:35I heard you can double click shit and it'll auto equip on
- 20:39you. Yeah, it did that before.
- 20:44Yeah, it actually did that before.
- 20:45It seemed a lot more intuitive, like with bunkers and stuff like
- 20:48if you run out of bullets or something, you can quickly grab
- 20:51a gun and go rather than having to hang on.
- 20:55When we pop up the inventory, let me look at this guy.
- 20:57Let me grab this thing put. A lot of whatever, yeah, a lot
- 21:02of muscle memory we're going to have to rewrite, but.
- 21:04Yeah. That's good, I like it.
- 21:07But with boxes and stuff you can just press I when you get near
- 21:10them rather than F. Oh my gosh.
- 21:13And. Then it would open the whole
- 21:15inventory. I guess when you open the box.
- 21:17It did too, didn't it? It also loot any of the boxes
- 21:21you're nearby that you could reach.
- 21:23You couldn't do that before and DBS you can get.
- 21:25DBS. Or playing.
- 21:26Around. Is is this OK?
- 21:30So maybe I'm missing something then?
- 21:34Is is magic inventory back or something or?
- 21:38No, just inventories within a certain distance.
- 21:41Have you? So even like the inventory
- 21:43kiosks, you don't have to actually walk all the way up to
- 21:46it, but just close enough? Yeah.
- 21:48And then you have tabs to access the different inventories within
- 21:51your range. And it was fairly close, wasn't
- 21:54it? Wasn't it like the meter or two
- 21:57away? You had to be from it in order.
- 21:59To Yeah, in the first iteration it was like 15 so you.
- 22:02Could like break that? Back, do everything around you.
- 22:05Just loot it all from a magical distance.
- 22:08I need it all. But I can see it being really
- 22:11good when you're surrounded by like a bunch of corpses and you
- 22:16don't have to fiddle around with like trying to Crouch and get
- 22:18just the right just the right angle to see that loot button.
- 22:23Oh yeah, yeah, it's a good way to solve that.
- 22:26Speaking of getting in just at the right angle, I was trying to
- 22:29move the. Conversation along because I'm
- 22:30trying to move it along. No.
- 22:33We're trying to get a show within an.
- 22:34Hour. Let's get some more.
- 22:35People, can we make this the the most callers we've ever had call
- 22:39everyone? Call everyone you.
- 22:40Know you know what? I'm in here because.
- 22:42Everybody's waiting in the fucking queue and like I.
- 22:46May as. Well, pop in Open comms radio,
- 22:49Cosmic Kobe. I know you gotta go and you
- 22:51gotta go early, so it would be as good as any.
- 22:54Anything you want to say to Chris Roberts, CIG or the people
- 22:57on the Internet before you head out?
- 23:01Actually I want everyone. To take a look at the road map
- 23:04update and the crafting guide. I I I lied to Anubis telling him
- 23:08it just said it. This is what that it's just,
- 23:11it's just Star Wars Galaxies. But I got him to read it.
- 23:14So whatever it takes to get everyone else to read it, go
- 23:17read it. Where is it?
- 23:19Go a link to it. Yeah.
- 23:21I'll. Put it in general for the
- 23:25discord if you ever want. Links to anything we're talking
- 23:29about here on Open Comms Radio. You guys could just pop into the
- 23:31Discord. It's linked right below there in
- 23:34the show you can pop on in. We do a lot of cool things.
- 23:38We share a lot of cool stuff. We also share a lot of unrelated
- 23:40stuff. So it's that's how it goes, just
- 23:43how it is. But we need like a whole.
- 23:45Episode on crafting. It all back together.
- 23:49But. Good luck y'all.
- 23:51I'm gonna free up space on the couch.
- 23:54Goodbye. Hobo.
- 23:55All right, Wicket is our next guest on the couch.
- 23:58Wicket. Whoa, what?
- 24:00All the cops radio your Star Citizen Collins show?
- 24:02Wicket isn't the patch out yet, Citizens.
- 24:06Long time listener, occasional caller.
- 24:09Thank you for popping in with. It patches out and it's finally
- 24:15working to me. For me, I had to literally VP
- 24:17into Canada to be able to download the patch because
- 24:23locally it wasn't working. It's finally working locally
- 24:25now. And to answer that thing about
- 24:28shaders that Duke was talking about, basically when these
- 24:33games are are made, shaders are basically instructions, right?
- 24:38Or or it's code that's a generic code.
- 24:41But when it's when, what's happening is that that code is
- 24:46being compiled for whatever API you're using, Vulcan or DX11, so
- 24:56you don't have to load every time you go to a new scene and
- 24:58have new graphics assets. Does it all at once.
- 25:01I think the reason they made it because this is always happened
- 25:05anytime. Did you sign up for the coding?
- 25:06Ted Talk? No, but you're going to.
- 25:09Listen to it. This is always been happening in
- 25:12the background. It's just I think because you
- 25:14know, when you first got a new patch and stuff was kind of
- 25:17janky, I think they put that in so people knew, oh, there's
- 25:20something going on in the background.
- 25:21That's why it's janky right now. It's good, but Aurora?
- 25:31First of its name. Long may it rain.
- 25:34That's. Right, I think.
- 25:36You buy it? Hell no.
- 25:39I think the new ship looks looks great.
- 25:42I think it's I think it fits right in with their current RSI
- 25:48design language or whatever. It's got that fish tank framed
- 25:52cockpit like a lot of the other ships have.
- 25:56It's angular as hell. And the the, the the flip out
- 25:59wings, it's great. I think it's great, looks good.
- 26:03And then now if you're a brand new Star Citizen and you get
- 26:07that as your starter package, you have a ship almost as good
- 26:10as the Avenger Titan that can carry 8 AT schoolies of the
- 26:14cargo. It's a good starter.
- 26:16Package I'll say, but it's still.
- 26:18Under undergone compared to the one and only Avenger Titan
- 26:22Penguin ship which is superior in all aspects except maybe
- 26:28looks, but that's debatable. That depends on what you like.
- 26:31If you like them curvy or you like them flat and angular, who
- 26:34knows. No, Bill likes them.
- 26:36Flat and angular. He was talking about that
- 26:40earlier. All right, settle down.
- 26:42I like them curvy, but I do like that Aurora.
- 26:45That's not cool. Yeah, that's cool.
- 26:50But the I think it's predatory what they did with the old
- 26:55Aurora. Of course, they released this
- 26:57new ship that everybody that all these.
- 27:00Knuckleheads are. Going to buy and then what do
- 27:03they do with the old ship Instead of making it obsolete,
- 27:05they release another ship with that that's cost even more than
- 27:08the new ship. I don't think that's.
- 27:09Predatory. That's just, that's just good
- 27:11marching, OK. Listen.
- 27:14It's predatory when you have the the the player base that this
- 27:18game has because they can't help themselves.
- 27:20No, that's shooting fish. In a.
- 27:22Barrel. Yeah, exactly.
- 27:23Yeah. It's predatory, like a cigarette
- 27:27company. Very, very.
- 27:29Very predatory, Very. What's the what's the analogy
- 27:33you're making here? I mean, definitely predatory.
- 27:38Not. Smoke right?
- 27:39You're saying it targets? Children and and then gives them
- 27:42a lifetime addiction that will eventually kill them.
- 27:45This one. Targets millennials and and
- 27:48we'll eventually get them divorced.
- 27:50Oh my God. Look at this inventory system.
- 27:52This is amazing. Well.
- 27:55You know you're you're gonna don't talk smack about Richmond,
- 27:57VA. That's keep the Marlboro
- 28:01cigarette company is keeping Richmond, VA afloat, I hear.
- 28:05Just so you know, OK? Thank you for smoking.
- 28:11Virginia's been tobacco land since, like, forever.
- 28:14So yeah. Oh yeah, of course.
- 28:19All right, gents, we're going to invite up another caller here to
- 28:23to to get things rolling. Anyone got anything to say
- 28:26before I bring this guy up? Yeah.
- 28:30There we go. All right, Lord and Rubis.
- 28:33Always has something. Insightful to say for us here on
- 28:36Open Comms Radio, it is a Star Citizen call in show you, you
- 28:39may not always know that, but generally that's what we're
- 28:42doing here. And here we have a a very, very
- 28:45special guest. Nikki D welcome to Open Comms
- 28:48Radio. Nikki D Is the patch out yet?
- 28:53The patch is out, yeah. It's not working though.
- 28:59Are you in? Or are you in queue?
- 29:01I am I'm. Neither, right now I keep
- 29:03getting kicked out when I try to log in.
- 29:06Did you pay your *? Citizen Chris Roberts Tax I did
- 29:09pay my taxes. But I guess the taxes didn't get
- 29:13haven't registered your account yet.
- 29:15Yeah, so I'm not getting the perks.
- 29:20What are you looking forward to? Do.
- 29:22Nikki D When you when you hop in the patch, what, what are you
- 29:24going to do? First thing you get in the
- 29:26patch, you you start you start in your hangar still first thing
- 29:30that I. Do is I'll probably whip out the
- 29:33ornithopter you did pay your. Taxes I paid my.
- 29:39Taxes. I paid my taxes.
- 29:43Yeah. I couldn't help myself.
- 29:46Did you get the SC too? I suppose.
- 29:48Say that again. Did you get the Aurora?
- 29:50SC also. Yeah.
- 29:53No, no, no, no, I didn't get that one.
- 29:55No, see what I'm talking about? Yeah, he's not.
- 29:58Wanting to admit it because. He's going to be ostracized.
- 30:01No, I, I, I I. Actually did not get that one
- 30:04but sure I considered it. It's OK, you spend your money.
- 30:07How you want? Isn't that the the line we're
- 30:09supposed to say? That's that look you.
- 30:11Can. Quit at any.
- 30:12Time quit. Whatever, you don't have a
- 30:15problem. OK, You're not a fiduciary.
- 30:18You can't tell people how to spend their money.
- 30:19We've I'm not trying to. I I just put a disclaimer.
- 30:23Easy easy there. Jabroni, but no, you know her.
- 30:27Loved one been injured by Wickett's claims.
- 30:30Called the office of Jar Jar and Leto the third I think.
- 30:34I think more of us are injured by Chris Roberts though.
- 30:38Damn. You.
- 30:40Should ask Sandy about that. She'll tell you all about it.
- 30:42You leave Sandy. There he goes.
- 30:44There he goes. How did?
- 30:46Chris Roberts hurt you, Nikki. I hear ya.
- 30:51He just keeps on releasing ships and putting price tags next to
- 30:54him. Yeah, it's.
- 30:56Unfortunate. Now the other part of this, I
- 30:58don't know if you guys heard they are sunsetting the Aurora
- 31:02mark one. So mark one.
- 31:05You won't be able to buy in the on on the store page, and you
- 31:10won't be able to buy in the game either.
- 31:12It's really going to be a museum piece.
- 31:14If you have it, you have it. If you don't, you don't.
- 31:19Is anyone here going to? Keep their Aurora, their mark
- 31:22one. Yeah, really doesn't.
- 31:27Sound like it? How about?
- 31:29What about you, Jarter? You have one, don't you?
- 31:31I do have. I do have one and they said that
- 31:34and I was like, oh, maybe I'll keep it like now it's kind of
- 31:36cool, you know, Lecter type. They want it to be a.
- 31:39Classic car, yeah, so they said the.
- 31:42Thing it was a buyback for me though so I can't sell it
- 31:48because I was thinking of it like a Pokémon card.
- 31:52You know, one day. 10 years from now some fools going to want to
- 31:55buy this for 300 bucks or something.
- 31:59You. Got just what they.
- 32:00Need, yeah. Honestly this.
- 32:03Sounds like people going yeah, this Geo storm is going to be
- 32:06worth something one day. Is that the the?
- 32:09DVD. No, it was a car.
- 32:13Oh. A Geo.
- 32:14I had a Geo. Prism, yeah.
- 32:17Yeah. I was thinking.
- 32:19Can't get those anymore. Check.
- 32:20Out my Zune. I.
- 32:24Believe it or not, do. Not have an Aurora MK1.
- 32:27I don't. I got in.
- 32:31In 2022. And my starter pack was the
- 32:33Avenger Titan. Nice.
- 32:36Nice, I forgot the Aurora. The Aurora.
- 32:37Always, always. I think somebody called it,
- 32:40somebody said it was a phallic shaped here and I agree with
- 32:44that statement. So you don't like?
- 32:47Freelancers, huh? I.
- 32:49I will say that is definitely one of my least favorite looking
- 32:54shits. What I.
- 32:55I love. My giant Chrome space penis.
- 33:01I just like that it's so. Rounded and I kind of like
- 33:05bulbous. Yeah, it's one. 100% bulbous.
- 33:10So, Nikki D, anything else you want to add before I'll bring
- 33:14another guy up here, I think. Maybe only the other thing to
- 33:17add is I'm very, very much looking forward to hopping in a
- 33:22mole and getting over to a breaker station.
- 33:27So what are we doing at these? Breaker stations.
- 33:31Mining, of course, breaking. Is that the one you?
- 33:35Have to go in it first like on FPS and push them up.
- 33:38Yeah, yeah. That's the big rock.
- 33:40That's what you're talking about.
- 33:41That's. Right.
- 33:41Yeah. So I guess we'll be doing a
- 33:43little bit of everything, but mostly looking forward to the
- 33:46hall at the end. All the monies.
- 33:51All the monies, all the. Material monies.
- 33:56This would have been a great. Time for them to wipe the money,
- 33:58but I guess they haven't, huh? That would have been nice that.
- 34:01Would have been a good idea. Probably really wondering if.
- 34:05They're going to ever actually going to be able to do that
- 34:07because I compare it a lot to EAFC, FIFA football, soccer game
- 34:13and there's a huge, huge market for selling the coins you can
- 34:18get in that game. Like there's big games that do
- 34:22that. And I know within Star Citizen
- 34:25that are in game currency is very worthless right now.
- 34:28But even then, I mean, you can get what, like a couple billion
- 34:33probably for like 20 bucks or something.
- 34:35And I wonder how many people actually use that service
- 34:39because that could be an issue to going down the line if they
- 34:44don't do it soon. It is something they've talked.
- 34:48About that they that they're looking to correct, it's just
- 34:50they just haven't done it. Well, I mean, that's what
- 34:54everybody. Games the EA says every game
- 34:56they play make. EA makes log games, right?
- 35:01I mean, yeah, yeah, don't. Do it, you'll get.
- 35:03Banned dude. I'll go on there right now and
- 35:06I'll order 2 million in coins. I won't but.
- 35:10It's a waste of money, but I. Could I?
- 35:13Mean they're making enough money.
- 35:15That they're running YouTube ads.
- 35:18So. They're making some money if
- 35:19someone's. Buying it, it's a goddamn.
- 35:21Server so I can get in here and play with it.
- 35:24As well as we're going to get in here and.
- 35:25And play in. We're going to bring another guy
- 35:28up here to get in here and. And play with us.
- 35:30And play with us. Veritable Hatter.
- 35:32Veritable Hatter. Yeah, you got it.
- 35:34You got it. You.
- 35:35Oh, my God. The veritable Hatter.
- 35:36Is the patch out yet? Yes, the patch is.
- 35:39Out. I have not gotten in yet, but
- 35:42you know, we'll, we'll get there momentarily.
- 35:44I am currently debating whether or not I'm going to pick up the
- 35:47Mark 2 and it is a difficult debate because it's a very neat
- 35:52ship, but do I need it? Not really, no.
- 35:57Not at all, credit. It's.
- 35:58Nice to have a. Putter around ship like you
- 36:00know, you get, you've got your fleet where you've got a couple
- 36:02of larger ships that take a moment to claim.
- 36:05It's nice to have something that's like what?
- 36:07Let me check our goal. What is your claim?
- 36:10Time a minute 27. Yeah, OK.
- 36:14For the expedited. Time, which is not bad, frankly.
- 36:21No, you know what's the best? For that and broccoli Rob he he
- 36:25would say that's the 85 X. What is origin?
- 36:285X's Oh yeah Origin. 85 X. Spawns instantly?
- 36:34Really. It's like the two.
- 36:36Seater like a BMW in space, basically, yeah.
- 36:41It's fast. Very fast too.
- 36:44Yeah, if if you just. Want to get your body somewhere?
- 36:47It's one of the best ships around to to transport bodies.
- 36:52Living bodies. Living bodies.
- 36:54Living bodies, Yeah, Move that body.
- 36:57It's got a little. Inventory like locker on it.
- 37:00You can put your guns and shit in there.
- 37:03I don't think he carries any SCU.
- 37:06Maybe you can keep don't. Think so?
- 37:08Don't think so. But that's that's that's the.
- 37:12Best one to get around in, I was going to say.
- 37:14It used to be the Nomad a long time ago, was like a minute
- 37:17claim time and then they they changed that for no good reason
- 37:23that I can figure out. But you know, all right, cool.
- 37:29But yeah, between that and the SE, like maybe I'll do an
- 37:33upgrade one of my smaller ships to the SE just to like have it
- 37:36hanging around because I do love the Aurora.
- 37:38It's like it's it's classic in a lot of ways.
- 37:42I enjoyed flying around with it when I first started way back
- 37:44when. Again, not.
- 37:47An A thing that I don't terribly need, but you know, if I've got
- 37:51if I've got the the credit lying around, might as well throw it
- 37:56into my fleet again, I don't know.
- 38:01Does anyone else have that nostalgia?
- 38:02There no I find. My Aurora quite a bit.
- 38:08All the time just because of the.
- 38:09Short claim time and I just need to get my body somewhere and you
- 38:14know, it's it's got enough fuel, like it's plenty, plenty of fuel
- 38:17to to get you around this new one, though I do have a question
- 38:20about it. So you guys keep saying the SE
- 38:23that's the special edition or sport edition or something.
- 38:27What what is? I didn't see that that's the
- 38:30final release. One where they're like you have
- 38:32the all of the bits of the Mr. the CL and the lane all slammed
- 38:37into one and the LX all slammed into one.
- 38:40It's their their send off to the Aurora line.
- 38:44That's how you can buy that now, Yeah.
- 38:49Is it modular? No, no.
- 38:52No, it's. It's it's a mark.
- 38:53One, it just has everything in it, yeah.
- 38:59Oh, that's lame. Yeah, 2 profession a barrel.
- 39:10Yeah. OK.
- 39:13OK so the new one that that is module, it has a cargo module
- 39:17and it has a weapons, a combat module which has a shield ends
- 39:23missiles in it. What is the base variant?
- 39:28What is in that module? If you just don't have a module
- 39:31in it. Or you have to have one of the.
- 39:342. I assume you just don't.
- 39:37Have I assume you just don't have a module and I'm not 100%
- 39:40certain there because one of the game.
- 39:43Packages comes with both of the modules and the other game.
- 39:47Two game packages don't come with the modules, so if you get
- 39:50the one without the. Modules what?
- 39:51Is what's in that space. What I've heard is that without.
- 39:53The modules it's just functions similarly to the like the stock
- 39:58Aurora and then one minute. So it has like a like what like
- 40:032 screwy of storage for like size.
- 40:08Was it 4 size 2 weapons and then two size 2 missile hard points?
- 40:15So then the cargo variant gives you a whole bunch more cargo,
- 40:20and then the defense or combat module gives you an extra
- 40:23shield, so it double S your Shields.
- 40:26And then I think it was like 4 or 8 size 2 missile tubes or
- 40:31something. Yeah, it was.
- 40:33Yeah, I was. Going to say it doesn't double.
- 40:36Your Shields. So that's 50% over again because
- 40:38as opposed to having 2 Shields, which the base variant has, you
- 40:41end up with three. Gotcha.
- 40:43OK. Yeah.
- 40:46Which is, for a startership, rather significant, actually.
- 40:50Yeah, that's pretty. Good.
- 40:51Yeah, that might. Be the best startership there is
- 40:53now, Yeah, I mean. For as much as the Nomad is
- 40:58considered a starter anymore. Sure, I mean.
- 41:04If you compare the nomad, I think compare this Aurora to the
- 41:07nomad is is a fine comparison now Sure I mean.
- 41:11You. You don't.
- 41:12Have near as much carrying capacity, but you have 3
- 41:15Shields. You have three size threes as
- 41:19opposed to four size twos. You have a a a similar missile
- 41:24loadout, and unlike the Nomad, you do have a.
- 41:30You have lockers and gun slots and other things like that which
- 41:33the Nomad surprisingly does not have.
- 41:38Well. We're going to, we have three
- 41:40more callers down here and chat. So we're we're going to bring
- 41:42them up. Jaco Mundy was first.
- 41:44Draco, if, if you want to come in, you can raise your hand or
- 41:48come in. I'm going to change the way we
- 41:51do this going forward. So we'll every it'll be
- 41:54functionally the same, but I'm going to do.
- 41:56If you want to call in, you raise your hand.
- 42:01Because I think. People are coming in here and
- 42:02they don't want to call in. Which is fine, I mean.
- 42:06Totally. No, I I don't think.
- 42:08We should leave it up to them. I think if you show up, you
- 42:10should have to speak. I don't know, Colonel.
- 42:16Gentleman, if you want to say something, you can.
- 42:17You can come on up. Hey, look at that.
- 42:18Look at that, Colonel. Gentleman's ready.
- 42:20Oh, here he is. Howdy fellas, gentleman, how the
- 42:24hell are you? I'm doing great.
- 42:26I'm doing good, man. Thanks.
- 42:27Thanks for thanks for asking, Colonel.
- 42:30Gentlemen, is the patch out yet? Seems to be.
- 42:35Whether you can get in or not, also not sure yet sitting here.
- 42:41Updating. Running buttery smooth right
- 42:45now. Is it really?
- 42:48It really is. Actually, I'm.
- 42:49Kind of impressed. Not bad, fellas.
- 42:51Not. Bad.
- 42:53Guys, I really just wanted to stop.
- 42:54By and say thanks. I've never won a sweepstakes
- 42:57before and I can't tell you how excited I was until I saw what I
- 43:03want. You, you're not psyched.
- 43:07To go shower with your dad, you know?
- 43:10In the grand scheme of things. I'm excited to win.
- 43:14Don't get me wrong, and I'm grateful I'm I'm not going to
- 43:16turn away anything but and it it's not usually my idea of a
- 43:20good time on a Saturday night. Did you dive into it?
- 43:25I haven't yet, man. I've been.
- 43:27Working my ass off and rambling around OnStar Citizen.
- 43:31Otherwise it's it's I got a vacation coming up next week I I
- 43:34plan to spend some time showering with my dad.
- 43:37There you go, it's. There for you when you need it.
- 43:41I mean, definitely call back. In after after you've tried it
- 43:43out and and let me know fully intend to.
- 43:46Fully intend, in fact. You know what?
- 43:48Call it. Call in while showering with
- 43:50your dad. You know what?
- 43:51Maybe. Next, maybe next Wednesday, that
- 43:53might, that might be the same. There you go.
- 43:57There you. Go.
- 43:57We'll all lather up together next Wednesday, Colonel.
- 44:02Gentleman. Great name.
- 44:05My question for you is, when you finally get in the patch, what
- 44:08are you going to do? You know, I think.
- 44:12I might fiddle around with the inventory, although kind of
- 44:15seems like it's nothing really new there.
- 44:18I might I might start in a new system this time.
- 44:21Kind of thinking about going pyro.
- 44:26Interesting. Just for shits and giggles, you
- 44:29know? Well, that's interesting.
- 44:31Because the content this patch is all Nix.
- 44:34Yeah, I was. Nix this last time around and
- 44:36like I immediately regretted it. My my frames.
- 44:41Dropped so hard. In Levski.
- 44:45It's just chugging around like I don't have a potato, but it's
- 44:48not pop of the line by any stretch.
- 44:52Right. Right.
- 44:54And that's that's. Only like, you know, supposedly
- 44:571/4 of what Nick's is. Yeah, I know.
- 45:01I am I. I'm toy with you.
- 45:03I don't know those. New stations you don't have to
- 45:05spawn. At Levski now too.
- 45:07I know that's that. That that might get me when when
- 45:10I'm able to login the updates done, but it's just crash into
- 45:13desktop every time I try to login.
- 45:15When I login it's going to be game time decision fellas so.
- 45:18Where else can I spawn? In Knicks then.
- 45:21There's four of. These, what do they call them?
- 45:25Player community bases or whatever.
- 45:30Is there a map on those? Yet I wonder people's.
- 45:33Community. Yeah, they're like small space.
- 45:35Stations in the rocks, they don't have like refinery
- 45:38stations in them. And yeah.
- 45:40That kind of. Stuff is just like a little
- 45:42quick service deal. You need a quick servicing and
- 45:46it's like people live in the. Asteroids.
- 45:50Is that the idea? Yeah.
- 45:54I mean, I'm still. Exploring it, but it's
- 45:55definitely, you know, the hanger and then you just go to customs
- 45:59and you got a few small shops right there, a nice view
- 46:04outside, but it seems like a it seems like a choice if you just
- 46:08want to be able to. Get in, get out quick.
- 46:12No elevators, huh? Only one level, right?
- 46:16So. Far what I've.
- 46:17Seen. Yeah, well, there's like this
- 46:19kind of split level here. There's some stairs, but I
- 46:22haven't explored that much of it yet.
- 46:25There is a cargo deck. Oh, but you just walk to it.
- 46:30Yeah. There's no elevator of the cargo
- 46:31deck. It's just right here.
- 46:33Is there a? Turtle in the cargo deck
- 46:36question. Solid question.
- 46:40We've actually had. Reports of many turtles in the
- 46:43new patch we had them from our other folks playing the game.
- 46:47It is turtles on top of turtles. You can find a turtle very
- 46:50quickly supposedly this patch. So if you're out there, if you
- 46:53if you managed to do get into 4.7, you know take some
- 46:57screenshots of your turtles, maybe send them our way yeah, we
- 47:01love good old turtle screenshots.
- 47:03Maybe we'll do a turtle screenshot competition one of
- 47:06these days. I know you get.
- 47:08Responded on turtles. Respawn time on the turtles.
- 47:13Respawn time on the. Turtles I you know what?
- 47:15Dude, I'm so fucking naive. That is deep.
- 47:18Knowledge, man. I thought the turtles was.
- 47:22One-of-a-kind. I thought it was 1 turtle per
- 47:25turtle zone. No respawn on the turtle because
- 47:32they live for so. Long.
- 47:34No, yeah, they live for like. Turtle, the oldest creature.
- 47:37On Earth is a turtle. No, that is not.
- 47:41True. That's not that's not true.
- 47:43In in any world. Come on, don't tell the kids
- 47:45that. The The kids are watching.
- 47:48Maybe that in? Borough right now.
- 47:50And they know it's not true. Here's a.
- 47:52OK. What's the oldest creature on
- 47:54Earth? Well, the.
- 47:55Oldest creature, theoretically would probably be.
- 47:58What's the name of that? There's a.
- 48:00It's not with. Aspen.
- 48:02Oh man. Yeah, the the Aspen forest
- 48:05there, which is technically one living entity.
- 48:07No, no, no. Plants.
- 48:08No plants. You know what I'm talking about.
- 48:11OK, There's a Greenland. There's a stupid dude, there's a
- 48:13Greenland shark that's been alive for 700 years, like.
- 48:17Tortoises are. Bullshit man.
- 48:19Greenland. Greenland basking sharks.
- 48:21Yes. They they you know, well, I
- 48:25don't know about 7. I think definitely 400.
- 48:29What and older man tortoises are like?
- 48:33They're old news, you know, amateurs.
- 48:35Yeah. I saw on the Internet that the.
- 48:39Oldest creature on earth is a is a tortoise.
- 48:41This said, the lifespan is 272 years, but they may live over
- 48:47500 years. OK Oh, what?
- 48:51May a tortoise no of the shark. Oh, OK.
- 48:55No, they've heard I'm born. In 65 but I don't.
- 48:57Sure, if I want to go that long. You're 65, Colonel Gentleman.
- 49:01No man, I'm just looking. At like average lifespan in
- 49:03America, Like I don't know if I want to go that long, let alone
- 49:05530. Well, I don't think any.
- 49:08Anybody here is going to live until release because that's
- 49:10already been said. That's going to be 2075.
- 49:13So hopefully, you know, you've got your affairs in order and
- 49:16your children's children may be able to play this game when it
- 49:19releases. Yeah, they can get my store.
- 49:21Credit I'll be. Honest right now, being 65 is
- 49:26not like 65 used to be when when I was a kid and you'd see
- 49:30someone who was 65, I mean, back then to deal with that people.
- 49:34Were able to retire. Now they have to continue to
- 49:36work. That's that's.
- 49:38Also true, but 65. They're already like looking at
- 49:41going into a home because they're all like broken down or
- 49:43everything. Like nowadays, honestly, 65
- 49:45people running around going to them going to go do a whole
- 49:49bunch of things. Yeah, I know.
- 49:52It's not everybody though. Like I'm not everybody.
- 49:55And sometimes I, you know, I hang out with some other 40 year
- 49:58olds and I'm like, man, these people look like shit.
- 50:01Yeah, I'm. One of those.
- 50:02I'm one of the ones. Do they have Colonel Jones?
- 50:06What about what? What mistakes have you made
- 50:08along the way? Did I say store?
- 50:11Credit. We'll play it, we'll play it.
- 50:19Look, we do have one more caller downstairs, but Colonel, I want
- 50:23to give you a last word here before you invite him up.
- 50:26Any anything you want to say, Colonel, gentlemen, anything we
- 50:29missed out talking about? Fellas, you've.
- 50:34You know, we there's been a lot of Wang talk on this episode and
- 50:37and some turtle talk and I'm wondering is there room in the
- 50:42Starf citizen overall fleet for a.
- 50:47A turtle Wang shaped. Van duel ship.
- 50:51Turtle Wang Have you ever seen a turtle work a turtle?
- 50:55They're. They're so gnarly.
- 50:57They're gnarly. And I think, OK, if anyone's
- 51:00going to make it, it's going to be the van duel folks, if if
- 51:02you're home. Right now, you know, pop open
- 51:04the computer. Make sure no one's looking.
- 51:06Over. Your shoulder and look up Turtle
- 51:09Wang. Turtle Wang.
- 51:12OK. Well, good girl gentlemen, that
- 51:16was insightful. I I don't even know is it is it
- 51:20spiral shaped the turtle Wang or?
- 51:23No, it's not a duck. It's like a duck, like a.
- 51:26Like a prehensile like inverted mushroom or something.
- 51:32Think. Think Lando Molinari.
- 51:34From Babylon 5. OK.
- 51:37Well, now that you put it that. Way, Broccoli Rob.
- 51:40You can come on up whenever you're ready.
- 51:41There, down there in the audience.
- 51:43Broccoli Rob, he's got to accept the terms of service allow that
- 51:47I could, if I if I wanted to, could I could put you in a short
- 51:51and and and misrepresent something you say here.
- 51:54Anyway, welcome to the show. Welcome to Open Comms Radio.
- 51:55Broccoli Rob is patch out yet? What's going on?
- 52:01Yeah, patch is out. I am playing it.
- 52:03I've already got 3 blueprints. Son of a bitch how?
- 52:07Many turtles. No turtles, not yet.
- 52:10OK. Where do you buy the fabricator?
- 52:15Wasn't it? Refinery or something?
- 52:17Is that it? Yeah, refinery it.
- 52:19Did say Grimhex, that is not the case and I almost crashed out
- 52:22trying to find it, so I'm heading.
- 52:25To one right now. So I can look at my supernova
- 52:28arms and the two magazines that I got.
- 52:33All right. Dead rig and a kill shot.
- 52:35Magazine. I'm hoping I got the guns with
- 52:38them because apparently it works the other way around.
- 52:41So the blueprint. Is for the magazine.
- 52:43Yes, I now know. How to make bullets I see.
- 52:48Interesting. OK.
- 52:51OK, don't know how to make the. Gun yet?
- 52:53Did you play Dune? Broccoli Rob, I did.
- 52:55Yeah. Well.
- 52:58How's this compared to? The crafting in Dune.
- 53:02I don't remember I I think it's. Dune.
- 53:10Not memorable. Not memorable.
- 53:13Unfortunately. That's a yeah, but more complex.
- 53:17You're going to have to do a lot of tab and W as a minor.
- 53:24Whole lot of looking. Around first quality ore Which?
- 53:29You kind of if I. Remember right?
- 53:30Like you knew where everything spawned more or less in Dune,
- 53:33right? I feel like everything.
- 53:37Regions had certain. Stuff but yeah, the stuff
- 53:42respond like but it it changed. Like remember they had that
- 53:46mechanic where the the storm would come through.
- 53:51Every week and wipe. And remove, you know, put stuff
- 53:55in different locations. But I mean, we've got a couple
- 53:59dozen planetoids to search for Auron with quality is between
- 54:06zero and or I guess 1 and 1000. So it's definitely going to be a
- 54:11lot more cumbersome. Cool.
- 54:17A lot more involved, I would say, OK.
- 54:22OK, now you've been. You've been in there for a
- 54:24while, Brock. Here's the thing.
- 54:26You're always running around to getting blue cards and red cards
- 54:31and shutting doors and shooting people and and doing all this
- 54:34FPS stuff. This patch, though, is a lot of
- 54:38industrial and a lot of mining. How do you feel about this?
- 54:43I feel great about. It I was doing all that FPS
- 54:45stuff because that's where the content was, but now that
- 54:48there's some content in the industrial world, I'm happy to
- 54:52jump into Prospector and get to mining.
- 54:55How do? How do you split?
- 54:56Something in your inventory? Welcome to.
- 55:00Right. Mouse button and then this is
- 55:03like the old fashioned way. Doesn't give the.
- 55:06Option from the inventory. I guess maybe you have to have
- 55:09it in your own. I don't have that option.
- 55:12Equip, carry, inspect and drop. Oh, what?
- 55:16What are you? Trying to split.
- 55:19Four stacks of SRT canisters. Oh.
- 55:25That's right. Click.
- 55:29Does it say 4 at the bottom? Of the circle around it, yeah.
- 55:33I think. That's not because you have four
- 55:34of them, that's because that's where it goes on your like quick
- 55:39your keybind. OK, I got it.
- 55:44OK, makes sense. We're learning new stuff.
- 55:49Here inventory is fun. Too it's it looks like it's
- 55:53nothing special until you need it in certain situations and
- 55:57that it is something special you.
- 56:00Know you have to like. Turn your character around to
- 56:02find the magazine or notice like how much ammo you have in each
- 56:08magazine. It shows you that.
- 56:13Do you find that it's? Working pretty well?
- 56:15Or is it just as just as good or bad as the old system in terms?
- 56:20Of like snappiness, it's a bit better, but I don't, I can't,
- 56:25there's not really a way to measure that.
- 56:27So I don't, I guess I can't speak to it necessarily.
- 56:30I feel like it's better. OK, let's go.
- 56:34Definitely as far. As like.
- 56:36Actually equipping things, it's definitely better.
- 56:43Yeah, I'm not playing around with it myself.
- 56:47We we're off the penis. Stuff, Duke, we're not talking
- 56:49about that anymore. Come on.
- 56:54The map doesn't zoom in on the ship anymore.
- 56:57Oh yeah, also, yeah, they did fix.
- 56:59That. Yeah, they mentioned that.
- 57:01Somewhere I thought that was a fix that.
- 57:04Was more just a design decision, right?
- 57:07I think they thought. That's where everyone wanted to
- 57:10start and that was not the case. There's definitely some things.
- 57:15That crop up sometimes where I'm like that, that's not broken,
- 57:19guys. That's just what they think is
- 57:21how it should work. Yeah, well.
- 57:25They. Changed their mind on it
- 57:27luckily, or fixed it, whichever. 1 Whichever I'll.
- 57:31Take either. Broccoli Rob, The new Aurora
- 57:38came out. What do you think?
- 57:42It's cool. Aurora was like, kind of like, I
- 57:45mean, it was the first ship I bought like way back.
- 57:50Now it's like. A starter ship that has some
- 57:54cool proof of concept for modules, but it's not.
- 57:59Really, it doesn't. Hold the same nostalgia for me
- 58:03that the original 1 did. Yeah, yeah, I really.
- 58:09Enjoy it and I'm really looking forward to this.
- 58:12I'm looking forward this whole patch.
- 58:13I'm looking forward to all the all the new content.
- 58:15I'm looking forward to how excited people are.
- 58:17You know it, it feels like it's been slow.
- 58:20It's only probably been two or three weeks that people have
- 58:22been living their lives. But now if you look at your
- 58:26Discord, if you look at my Discord, there's a lot of people
