  The thing is though, now that you say that, I can't see it.
• 0:13
  You're absolutely right. After what time?
• 0:15
  Let's let's talk about that first because I was going to.
• 0:17
  Go in a totally different direction.
• 0:19
  You can make as much money as you need and work your way
• 0:22
  towards any ship in the game. They they were trying to cash in
• 0:26
  off of that nostalgia and that height.
• 0:32
  Open comes Radio, your Star Citizen call in show coming to
• 0:39
  you live from the verse every Wednesday at 9:00 PM Join us.
• 0:44
  You can call on in in our Discord, share your thoughts.
• 0:48
  If you don't like the sound of your voice, you can always pop
• 0:50
  in our Discord and just type in the ask the couch for some of
• 0:55
  our new listeners. The way we get this going, as we
• 0:57
  have a big old couch here and as we call in, they just kind of
• 1:01
  scoot on down the couch. You call in, you stay on, be a
• 1:05
  part of the conversation. Most weeks I'm here with my Co
• 1:09
  host Tav. But if you tuned in last week,
• 1:12
  you'll know that Tav is that a baking show?
• 1:16
  He's baking. Last week he did something with
• 1:17
  Peaches. This week he didn't want to tell
• 1:20
  me. I think they're pretty, pretty
• 1:23
  litigious. So with Tav not here today, I do
• 1:28
  have a fantastic Co host with me, leader of the Red Scar
• 1:34
  nomads. Murphy, Jack.
• 1:36
  Murphy, Jack. Welcome to Open Coms Radio.
• 1:39
  Well hello, it's a pleasure to Co host with you there.
• 1:43
  It's a pleasure to be Co hosted by you.
• 1:47
  So with you, yes. So what do we think about the
• 1:53
  question? What's the question?
• 1:56
  Should I care about citizen gun? Oof.
• 2:04
  Maybe. I don't know if you if you know,
• 2:09
  after last year's Citizen Con I felt kind of down, but the year
• 2:14
  before I was right and high. So there's for me, there's a lot
• 2:21
  of different things that play into the Citizens Con.
• 2:25
  This will be my third one that I'm actually going to a physical
• 2:30
  con, but but this year is a little different, right?
• 2:33
  Well, this year it's Citizen Con Direct, so it's a digital event.
• 2:37
  So bar citizens all over the world, all over the world.
• 2:40
  You could find some around you, unless you're on the East Coast.
• 2:44
  If you're on the East Coast of the United States, it looks like
• 2:47
  you might only have a few options, at least a couple
• 2:50
  options where CIG may be sending people a couple of really big
• 2:55
  options. We're going to be doing one of
• 2:57
  those in DC. We're going to be at DC Bar
• 3:01
  Citizen doing some Star Citizen stuff.
• 3:04
  You're going to be there with us.
• 3:07
  Yeah, it's shaping up to be pretty awesome.
• 3:10
  Getting excited. It's only a month away.
• 3:13
  Need to get those RSVPS in. If you're coming, let us.
• 3:17
  Know how many you're coming exactly.
• 3:22
  What do you think? What should I care?
• 3:26
  Yeah, that's your question. I totally think you should care.
• 3:31
  Now I've seen some like things that people say, you know,
• 3:34
  waiting on the stuff we saw 12 months ago on that.
• 3:37
  And that's like, yes, that's a big part of it.
• 3:40
  And I think towards the actual Citizen Khan stuff they show us.
• 3:45
  Should we care? I mean, yeah, that's the
• 3:47
  direction they're. We're getting a little bit of
• 3:50
  behind the scenes look at how they're building this and a
• 3:54
  little explanations why it might be taking so long, whether we I
• 3:58
  agree with it or not, right. But I mean, what other game,
• 4:04
  alpha game is there that like shows us this level of their
• 4:09
  ongoing development? They say it all the time at
• 4:12
  their inside stars and stuff. Let it, you know, thank you for
• 4:16
  letting us share this process of game development with you.
• 4:19
  That's true. And then to be able to go to a
• 4:22
  citizen con in person with thousands of other people that
• 4:26
  are in the same boat as you as alpha testers.
• 4:29
  But loving this experience. Just the energy you feel there
• 4:33
  is amazing. So there's so many different
• 4:36
  aspects that. You should.
• 4:38
  Care about one being the biggest one for me being community is my
• 4:41
  biggest care right, but there's so many different things we've.
• 4:47
  Had some. It gets pretty pretty wild these
• 4:50
  events sometimes. Well, those are the after
• 4:53
  parties, right? The event themselves.
• 4:55
  Don't get too wild. It all mashes together.
• 4:59
  Yes, it does. We'll see that.
• 5:01
  Good times and. We'll see that in about a month.
• 5:04
  But yeah, I totally think everybody should care about it,
• 5:08
  put the effort in to watch it, rewatch it, and then also later
• 5:14
  on down the road, do a little look back, see what we've
• 5:18
  gotten. It was funny because the other
• 5:21
  night we were all talking about how when we saw in LA the Pyro
• 5:25
  playground, right? Pyro hasn't even been out a
• 5:29
  whole year yet. If you'll it's honestly when
• 5:31
  we'd said that Pyro hasn't been out a year, we're all like, wow,
• 5:34
  well. From when we played it to when
• 5:36
  they released it, it was maybe a year and a half.
• 5:41
  Yeah, that was what so it. Would be in October and then it
• 5:44
  came out in when Pyro come out like December, January of this
• 5:49
  year. Did it come out before the end
• 5:53
  of the year? It came out with Christmas.
• 5:56
  I I don't know for sure. I'd have to look it up, but it
• 6:01
  was around that time, it was after IE, right?
• 6:05
  But just, you know, we get a lot of things they show us in
• 6:09
  Citizens Con, but we also don't get a lot of things or haven't
• 6:13
  gotten a lot of things. That they showed us.
• 6:15
  So there is. You know, a back and forth.
• 6:19
  Oh yeah, the fire. Fire the whale, Space whale all.
• 6:27
  Right, I think we're going to dive through a lot of these on
• 6:30
  this episode. Today.
• 6:31
  We do have 3 callers in the waiting room.
• 6:33
  Murphy, did you see who got in there first?
• 6:37
  Lord Anubis, I think. So, so we're going to pull on up
• 6:40
  our first guest. You know how it works, Murphy.
• 6:43
  Jack, when they come on in, you can ask him the question and and
• 6:46
  they'll stay on the couch with us.
• 6:48
  Open comms radio. Welcome, Lord Anubis.
• 6:52
  Well, hello. Anubis, I am so glad that I am
• 6:58
  the first person that I won today.
• 7:01
  Oh yeah, And let me turn off Twitch so I don't hear myself
• 7:04
  because that is really disconcerting.
• 7:05
  Sorry. I like I can deepen your voice
• 7:09
  later. Oh, oh, OK, OK, that that would
• 7:12
  work. I usually do.
• 7:13
  I deepen. Everyone sound like this like
• 7:15
  hey what's going on how y'all doing?
• 7:18
  Well, open Coms Radio. Every week we have a question
• 7:20
  for our callers. This week is no different.
• 7:22
  Murphy, Jack, what's our question for Laura Nubis?
• 7:25
  Good. I care about Citizen Khan.
• 7:29
  Yes, you should, because even if it's not physical, it's still a
• 7:34
  fun, enjoyable thing to even if there's shit that is bullshit,
• 7:41
  it's still fun to talk about it. It gives us something to talk
• 7:44
  about. It keeps us talking to our
• 7:45
  friends. We can get mad about it, we can
• 7:47
  get happy about it, and we're still sharing experiences
• 7:51
  together. And I think that's important,
• 7:54
  especially right now. And you know, people are like,
• 7:57
  not really having much else to talk about other than
• 7:59
  infuriating shit. Are you concerned at all that
• 8:04
  it's digital in only two hours? Not really.
• 8:11
  I mean, it's the way a lot of these things are going.
• 8:14
  It's it's not the only franchise that's doing this even even
• 8:19
  well, I'll just bring up Star Trek because I'm a Uber Star
• 8:21
  Trek nerd, but I used to go to a lot of events that Paramount
• 8:25
  would throw. And each year for every Star
• 8:28
  Trek day, which is September 8th, they would hold a big
• 8:31
  party, right? And we would go to like, let's
• 8:34
  say the Skirball Center, which is a, which is a, which is like
• 8:39
  a cultural Arts Center. It's very, very high up there,
• 8:41
  right? And they would serve wine.
• 8:43
  They I, I would get, I get wasted there.
• 8:46
  Like if, you know, if I check it up, like they serve a lot,
• 8:49
  right? And you have all the stars out
• 8:51
  there doing all these things and it's wonderful.
• 8:53
  And they stopped doing those a couple years ago just because
• 8:55
  the entire industry across everything is just kind of
• 8:59
  running out of money. Yeah, and, and I think that
• 9:03
  especially as it is harder and harder for people to get around
• 9:06
  the world, having it is just the natural conclusion.
• 9:10
  I I'm not so mad at them as as I am at the world for that.
• 9:16
  Just just for shit being so bad that it that it's affecting the
• 9:21
  things we celebrate and love. Right.
• 9:25
  Well, I mean, so I guess the good part you're saying is that
• 9:27
  they have all these, it's decentralized.
• 9:29
  So everyone for the most part can go to an event you know
• 9:33
  relatively close to them. Yeah, well, we still have
• 9:36
  something to celebrate. And now you know it, it'll be.
• 9:40
  It'll be more of a production rather than a.
• 9:44
  You know, a production live. Event the different production
• 9:47
  yeah, I mean, but a production you can rehearse several times,
• 9:50
  then you then you run it live and right, right.
• 9:56
  But, you know, we still have things we still have things to
• 9:59
  talk about and as much as we want to bitch about the game,
• 10:02
  they do do what they do and they and they make more of what they
• 10:07
  do and you know, even if it's upsetting like or pisses you
• 10:12
  off, it's still something that you're talking to someone else
• 10:15
  about that I don't know that's it.
• 10:17
  So yeah, we should like it. Nicely said.
• 10:23
  Well spoken, Murphy. Jack, you have any another
• 10:25
  question for Lord Anubis? No, you hit the nail on the
• 10:29
  head. I just would say, do you feel
• 10:33
  this is something I wanted to ask everybody to do?
• 10:35
  We feel that the reason why it's two hours and digital only is
• 10:40
  because next year they want to do something huge.
• 10:44
  You think that's possible? That would be a very good reason
• 10:49
  that that's the hopeful reason. I think that, you know, it would
• 10:56
  be the, I mean, if they're actually going to release
• 10:59
  Squadron 42, then that would be that we the best and most
• 11:05
  hopeful reason. But I I'm not holding up for
• 11:08
  that. Just generally, even even if
• 11:10
  it's something as momentous as that, I just think generally
• 11:17
  that it's it's kind of just not easy to do right now, Not like
• 11:21
  it was. I mean venue prices are insane.
• 11:25
  Yeah. But I think, I think in
• 11:27
  reference to being at two hours, I think they just don't have
• 11:29
  more than two hours that they want to share.
• 11:31
  And two hours isn't a lot of time.
• 11:33
  If you think about they do like an hour a week or they were
• 11:35
  doing an hour a week. So I think it's just going to be
• 11:38
  pop, pop, pop short 5-10 minutes because most of the stuff that
• 11:44
  they are likely going to deliver they bragged about for the last
• 11:47
  two years. So you can't do another year
• 11:49
  bragging about the same shit that you've been working on for
• 11:52
  the last two years. So I think they would do like a
• 11:56
  montage like upcoming pop, pop, pop, pop and all like the stuff
• 12:00
  we know. And then they'll do like, you
• 12:02
  know, probably 2/3 of it on some like new stuff.
• 12:06
  I just don't, I don't think if you're holding out hope that
• 12:10
  next year's going to be like some gigantic blowout thing.
• 12:12
  I don't know, dude. I'm, I'm kind of also thinking
• 12:17
  that, you know, I mean there'll be auxiliary programming that
• 12:20
  they're counting on, you know, the lead up to the event that
• 12:23
  day with other content providers or whatever.
• 12:27
  Well, like Open Cons Radio. Yeah, there we go.
• 12:30
  There you go. We are not officially sponsored
• 12:33
  by. No, we're not.
• 12:35
  No, but we are sponsored by Cruise Lux.
• 12:39
  Yes. Cruise Lux is the refreshing
• 12:41
  drink that will give you that pep in your spep.
• 12:44
  With 20% SLAM by volume, Cruise Lux has the most SLAM in the
• 12:49
  industry drink. Cruise Lux give no fucks.
• 12:54
  Open Comms Radio, your star season calling show.
• 12:57
  We have another caller in the waiting room.
• 12:59
  Someone you know, someone you love.
• 13:03
  Cosmic Hobo hanging out with us. Welcome to Open Comms Radio,
• 13:06
  buddy. How?
• 13:09
  Hello. Murphy, Jack, you have a little
• 13:11
  something you want to ask him. I think I know the answer, but
• 13:15
  cosmic hobo should I care about Susan Khan?
• 13:19
  Yes, Yeah, yeah. It's a show everyone.
• 13:24
  Thanks for coming. Why?
• 13:29
  Why? Well, I, I have a bit of a
• 13:33
  conflict of interest with this question, but you, you should
• 13:40
  care because it's, I think I, I have deep down, my thought is
• 13:46
  that they're going to pull a surprise patch on us.
• 13:51
  It's going to be A and in an hour we're going to put Nick's
• 13:57
  on the test preview server like something like that.
• 14:01
  At the end, they're going to have a big kind of swelling
• 14:04
  thing and that's going to be the big reveal is surprise Knicks on
• 14:09
  the testing server. There's not live.
• 14:11
  I don't think they're going to do a surprise live launch.
• 14:13
  That'd be be a little much. But I I do think they're going
• 14:18
  to pull something like that. Surprise live.
• 14:23
  Surprise live. Is a sounds like a recipe for a
• 14:27
  disaster. I'd buy tickets to that.
• 14:31
  I will say even though our waiting room is has no sound, I
• 14:36
  can hear screaming Let. It wait, wait, let it wait, let
• 14:40
  it wait. Let, let hobo, let hobo beef it
• 14:43
  up a bit for us first. Fluffer.
• 14:46
  What do you call him, a fluffer? Oh God.
• 14:49
  Sure. Fluff me up, fluff me up, hobo.
• 14:54
  Oh. Wow.
• 14:56
  At least 1/4 I'd say of Star System Direct will be teasing it
• 15:02
  like it'll be they'll be teasing, Yeah, just like for at
• 15:07
  least I'd say 1/4 of it. Because honestly, if they're not
• 15:12
  going to focus on Squadron 42, which I from everything they've
• 15:16
  kind of hinted at, they won't. If we get anything for Squadron
• 15:20
  42, the biggest thing we could possibly get I think is a
• 15:24
  release date. And that's we all know how CIG
• 15:30
  is with dates, 51st dates, the company.
• 15:37
  But so like, yeah, which will be a cool finale.
• 15:43
  Like, yeah, they'll be like, Oh yeah, Nick's is live on the test
• 15:46
  preview server. And then Chris will start
• 15:49
  walking up stage and go one more thing and then they'll have some
• 15:54
  hype music for about like a minute.
• 15:57
  And then the Squadron 42 coming October, November.
• 16:04
  Did you make British, you made him like Welsh or something?
• 16:07
  Like what was that? He is British.
• 16:09
  He's 9 tails. Is he really?
• 16:12
  I thought he was Canadian. No, he's British.
• 16:16
  Why? Why else would they have their
• 16:18
  like, headquarters in Manchester?
• 16:23
  Taxes. No, You go to like Toronto or
• 16:30
  you go somewhere in Canada for like.
• 16:32
  He's got one. He's got one in Canada.
• 16:34
  Well, yeah, exactly because it's.
• 16:36
  Cheap shit though, and there's. Attack breaks, yeah, everyone
• 16:39
  has studios in Montreal because of the tax breaks, so.
• 16:44
  The last two episodes I learned that Chris Roberts is 5 foot 8
• 16:48
  and that he's British. Yes he is British and one of the
• 16:54
  reasons why Turbulent was in Montreal was because of the tax
• 16:57
  breaks. Ubisoft has a huge studio there
• 17:01
  and like every other major video game company has a studio there
• 17:04
  because of the insane tax breaks they give to to video game
• 17:08
  companies or tech companies in general.
• 17:11
  So they can. Fla is what they did.
• 17:15
  Yeah. We used to give tax breaks and
• 17:17
  then we stopped giving tax breaks.
• 17:18
  And they're like, well, Fla, then you know it.
• 17:21
  It was a very bad decision. It's.
• 17:25
  One of the reasons Austin has so many tech companies now too is
• 17:28
  because of their generous tax breaks.
• 17:34
  Kind of why I like a lot of film companies like Disney and what
• 17:38
  not film in Georgia because of all the tax breaks there for
• 17:42
  film companies. That's going away though.
• 17:46
  Well, maybe one day they can just buy their own planets.
• 17:54
  Well, funny, that was good. All right, all right.
• 17:59
  Well, if if you guys are any, do you have anything else nice to
• 18:02
  say about the Citizen Con Direct before you bring up our next
• 18:06
  guest? Hey, go to your local live
• 18:08
  stream of Citizen Con Direct, especially if you're on the East
• 18:13
  Coast and and you're saying they we are the only, and by we I
• 18:17
  mean the Washington DC live stream is the only one CIG is
• 18:21
  coming to you on the East Coast. East, are you are you allowed to
• 18:25
  say this? Yes.
• 18:27
  I, I don't know what, what we're allowed to say or not, which is
• 18:30
  crazy because I'm, I have, I have the microphone.
• 18:33
  I can't go into the annoyingness that I've had to do with the IG
• 18:38
  and some of the legal stuff, but that's another topic that I can
• 18:41
  talk about at another time. All right, All right.
• 18:44
  Well, we'll bring up. We'll pull up our next one.
• 18:46
  What do you think? Murphy Jack.
• 18:48
  Yeah. Murphy Jack.
• 18:50
  I mean, are you just all right? Murphy Jack.
• 18:53
  Here's this next one. You can introduce him.
• 18:57
  Broccoli, Rob. Welcome to Open Comms Radio.
• 19:02
  Thanks so much. I think I may have heard you
• 19:06
  making some noise down there. Oh yeah, about the.
• 19:15
  Next, but first, should I care about Citizen Khan?
• 19:21
  Should you care about Citizen Khan?
• 19:23
  All right, so here's here's what I think.
• 19:27
  I think you should care about Citizen Khan, but not to the
• 19:32
  level that I think it's been built up to in the past.
• 19:37
  I think that they are showing that with this all digital 2
• 19:43
  hour show that they're trying to take what they found to be the
• 19:47
  best parts of Citizen Con, which is showing off some good stuff
• 19:51
  and hosting like the community and they decided to get rid of
• 19:59
  the extra stuff. No huge Convention Center, No
• 20:02
  like physical goody bags. It's community and it's quick
• 20:09
  videos, nothing live, nothing to stretch out 2-8 hour days.
• 20:14
  They just want to give you something good to look at, give
• 20:17
  you community to interact with. Yeah, get behind that.
• 20:23
  Also, it's probably way less work for them.
• 20:26
  Yeah, less work. Yeah, preparing.
• 20:30
  Like I don't know, 13 different like hour long presentations
• 20:38
  that they had to get a bunch of software devs to feel
• 20:41
  comfortable talking in front of thousands of people.
• 20:44
  Yeah, that's got to be rough. I don't know any company that
• 20:46
  puts their employees through that.
• 20:49
  Yeah, like, I'm like, I'm used to talking to groups of people,
• 20:53
  and that would terrify me. I can't imagine what it's like
• 20:55
  if you're, you know, just coding all day.
• 21:04
  Yeah. That's.
• 21:06
  Interesting to think about. It's it's important they're
• 21:11
  they're getting the important stuff in front of us.
• 21:15
  I also think because it's only two hours long that they're
• 21:18
  running out of far away features to show us like we had like
• 21:23
  Planetech and stuff like that. And instead of I think.
• 21:28
  It's engineering still, yeah, I think.
• 21:34
  I think this is good. I think this is going to be I
• 21:36
  don't know if I don't know if there are any big like like
• 21:39
  wrestling fans in in the audience, but the big sort of
• 21:46
  culmination, the big like season finale in WWE has always been
• 21:49
  WrestleMania. Kind of like everything builds
• 21:53
  and builds to this. And that's how that's what I
• 21:58
  think Citizen Khan is a little bit like.
• 22:00
  It's like the the season finale, all right, they're going to come
• 22:07
  in, they're going to show us all this stuff that they kind of
• 22:11
  said that they want to do for the year and then like moving
• 22:13
  forward, what the next year storyline is going to be like.
• 22:18
  I see like the end of the calendar year for Citizen Con
• 22:22
  Development being, I'm sorry, Star Citizen Development being
• 22:26
  Citizen Con. But what's, what is that?
• 22:29
  What does that end of the year look like to you?
• 22:32
  Give me, give me two. Things two things that what that
• 22:36
  I think is going to be at. Yeah.
• 22:39
  What's this kind of a conclusion?
• 22:40
  Because now we're only a month away from Citizen Con, which is
• 22:45
  the conclusion. So.
• 22:47
  And then after that they only have two more patches maybe,
• 22:51
  probably only one if they give us one at Citizen Con because
• 22:55
  it's only said they were going to give us 10, so.
• 22:58
  So I. Think this is going to be?
• 23:00
  The end of Pyro being the sort of hot new thing and I think
• 23:06
  that's going to they're going to introduce Knicks I.
• 23:08
  Don't know if it's going to. Come out.
• 23:10
  I I can't I can't wait. I don't know if it's going to
• 23:13
  come out like this year even, but I think that I would love
• 23:19
  for it to come out this year. I would love to get that
• 23:20
  December Knicks drop before everyone leaves for the holiday.
• 23:25
  But I think that this is the start of the Nick's hype and all
• 23:32
  of the features that they've hinted at previously, like like
• 23:37
  on ship refuelling, engineering. Really.
• 23:44
  That's a that's a tall order on ship refuelling.
• 23:47
  You mean like I'm on my ship in the back of it?
• 23:49
  And what do you mean ship to ship?
• 23:54
  It's it's not as far away as you think because they have talked
• 23:58
  about it coming for a quote upcoming event.
• 24:01
  It is important for a quote upcoming event.
• 24:04
  Refuelling. Yes, ship refuelling and
• 24:07
  rearming. What does that mean?
• 24:09
  That mean though like I'm I'm I'm I have to fill my ammo or
• 24:12
  whatever physically. So you'll have a It's only for
• 24:16
  like certain ships, big ships. So Polaris interest.
• 24:20
  If you have SCU of ship ammunition, hydrogen fuel,
• 24:24
  quantum fuel on there, and you land a fighter in the hangar,
• 24:28
  you'll be able to treat it like landing services on a space
• 24:31
  station hangar. Yeah, they'll be able to refuel
• 24:34
  from you, just like if you went to a pad, but you got to be
• 24:38
  stocked. So they're hinting at this
• 24:43
  coming down the pipeline soon for like, like I said, an
• 24:47
  upcoming event. And there's not a whole lot of
• 24:51
  places that we can't get to even in a fighter.
• 24:54
  But if you look at Nix, there's not much there and there's a
• 24:59
  whole lot of system. OK.
• 25:03
  Oh, so you think they need it? Oh yeah, I think it's need 100%
• 25:10
  needed for an upcoming event that will happen in.
• 25:13
  Nix. Nix.
• 25:15
  I, I do think that they also need to go back to having the
• 25:20
  fuel run out really quick more give people a reason to like
• 25:25
  float out in the middle of nowhere and say, hey, you know,
• 25:28
  you need fuel. Come on over here.
• 25:30
  I'm just floating in midway between this.
• 25:32
  You can get to me or, you know, give people a reason to be fuel
• 25:36
  rats because there currently isn't any, because people were
• 25:39
  like, I can't go anywhere without having to go to like 5
• 25:42
  places. Like, OK, well, welcome to, you
• 25:45
  know, the world consequences plan better.
• 25:49
  You know, I like that part of it, but then I got rid of it.
• 25:54
  Yeah, that was a little disappointing.
• 25:56
  But yeah, I think that's going to be the major thing that they
• 26:01
  throw out for Citizen Con. That and some kind of
• 26:06
  terraforming thing where they can introduce swap biomes
• 26:08
  finally, but I don't know where that's going to come in.
• 26:13
  Yeah, none of the next systems, to my understanding, would have
• 26:17
  a swamp. None of them are they at least
• 26:21
  in the original concept for the 3:00-ish planets there they are
• 26:27
  lifeless and inhospitable. Which, yes, I know the next
• 26:31
  response is, but Pyre was supposed to be lifeless in the
• 26:33
  hospital too. Yeah but like it makes sense now
• 26:40
  what Pyro is. I don't know how they could make
• 26:43
  Nicks make sense being some populated system when it's been
• 26:48
  completely sold constantly as a dead zone.
• 26:52
  Yeah, and it being a dead system is going to bring in scanning
• 26:57
  gameplay as a nothing that they develop and are able to work on
• 27:02
  and get us to use. This is a lot.
• 27:07
  I'm. I'm a little more pessimistic
• 27:09
  just because I'm still waiting on that engineering and that
• 27:11
  fire from two years ago. Yeah.
• 27:13
  Well, hey, they've got the tech preview up.
• 27:16
  They got that cooking now, so. Is that in tech preview?
• 27:20
  No, no, no, but they have tech, the tech preview up and running
• 27:23
  now for all waves. So they're they're pushing it.
• 27:26
  So it's. You have engineering.
• 27:28
  No, no, there's a tech preview. It doesn't have engineering.
• 27:31
  It's just. Vulcan.
• 27:32
  Yeah, it's Vulcan. It's just Vulcan.
• 27:35
  But because they're introducing it to all waves and they're
• 27:37
  trying to work out kinks on it, it makes sense that that now is
• 27:41
  going to have engineering added to it soon.
• 27:46
  Tech Preview Come back is hopeful that they're going to
• 27:48
  use it again. It's been a while since they've
• 27:50
  used it, honestly. Yeah, it's just, it's just a
• 27:53
  Vulcan. And because engineering is
• 27:55
  definitely not a tech preview kind of thing.
• 27:57
  I mean that that's that's a patch thing, but like.
• 28:00
  No, they said. They said they're going to have
• 28:02
  have it be a tech preview. One of the OK, so they they
• 28:06
  didn't burn that then, because that's that's something that
• 28:08
  they need to hurry up with because it's sorry.
• 28:14
  Well, before I bring up our next guest, we did have a couple
• 28:17
  people write. They wrote to us.
• 28:20
  If you're on the Discord, you can ask the couch and here you
• 28:23
  can write a comment, you know, have a question.
• 28:29
  So we have two in here. I'm going to read the first one
• 28:31
  right now. Read the second one later.
• 28:33
  The first one says it's from Duke Lado.
• 28:36
  The second can't be there tonight.
• 28:39
  Should I be excited about Citizen Khan?
• 28:42
  I absolutely am. I'm going to watch.
• 28:45
  I'm going to the watch party in DC.
• 28:47
  So this will be my third trip for Citizen Con.
• 28:49
  But can't help but feel we are still waiting on lots of things
• 28:53
  that were promised to be coming within 12 months of last year's
• 28:56
  event. So that's kind of do kind of
• 29:00
  echoing at least echoing my sentiment, I think.
• 29:04
  But maybe we'll get a different point of view here at Murphy
• 29:07
  Jack. We have one other caller in the
• 29:09
  waiting room. You know this guy.
• 29:11
  I do, and he is a familiar face. Wicked.
• 29:17
  Welcome to open coms radio citizens.
• 29:23
  Long from the land of Dune. Long time listener, occasional
• 29:27
  caller. Oh man.
• 29:31
  You've downgraded yourself. Hurt.
• 29:32
  Been a while, I know. Why it hurt?
• 29:35
  Listen, I was going to to answer the question, should I care
• 29:40
  about Citizen Con? I was super optimistic until I
• 29:44
  heard you guys talking about it and it's two hours.
• 29:49
  Yes, yeah. I changed my mind.
• 29:52
  I'm super pessimistic about it. Oh, I'm shocked.
• 29:57
  To to me, for every Yang was a gang.
• 30:01
  Listen, I was very optimistic for it.
• 30:03
  I thought it was going to be at least like a four 6-8 hour deal.
• 30:07
  I mean, Warfame, Warframe has nowhere near the money that that
• 30:13
  CIG has. They put on a 8 hour thing every
• 30:16
  year and they've done it for like 6-7 years in a row.
• 30:19
  It's a massive and I mean, obviously that's a finished
• 30:24
  game, you know, constantly under development, but neither here
• 30:27
  nor there really. The reason I'm pessimistic about
• 30:30
  it is because for two hours, what are you going to get in two
• 30:32
  hours? You know what you're going to
• 30:34
  get? You're going to get a big
• 30:35
  marketing PowerPoint. They're basically going to tell
• 30:40
  you for two hours the next ships you need to buy and hurry up and
• 30:44
  start saving up, Billy, because these aren't going to last.
• 30:47
  They're limited edition or some BS.
• 30:49
  You know, this is that's, that's kind of like when I heard two
• 30:54
  hours. I'm like, OK, what are they
• 30:55
  going to do in two hours? I mean literally almost nothing.
• 30:59
  It would be an absolute waste to make it just a ship sale
• 31:02
  commercial like that's not what any of the systems cons have
• 31:05
  been. Well, none of them have only
• 31:08
  been two hours though, too, right?
• 31:10
  They've all been way longer than that.
• 31:13
  Even the digital ones that that we had in the past, they were
• 31:16
  way longer than two hours. How long was the 2021?
• 31:20
  Thank you. I remember being online watching
• 31:23
  that for gosh at least 4 hours I think maybe 5.
• 31:29
  I mean, literally they only need to have someone like Jared or
• 31:32
  something like that sit on screen for 8 hours just talking
• 31:36
  about stuff, interacting with people.
• 31:37
  Then they do 2 hours worth of presentations.
• 31:40
  That's how you do a con in real life.
• 31:42
  So I mean it it, it is kind of weird that they're not doing
• 31:45
  that. I mean because there is only
• 31:47
  about two hours of the presentations when you get to a
• 31:49
  real con. Then then the the other thing
• 31:53
  that some other threads that started gnawing at me as I was
• 31:56
  listening to you guys talking about it is like, you know,
• 31:58
  everybody's talking about Nicks. And you know, that'd be great if
• 32:02
  they brought that. I'd love to see that, might even
• 32:05
  make me log in. But then then I started thinking
• 32:10
  about, well, why only two hours? Unless they got way more
• 32:18
  marketing stuff to do, they got to do later on this year for
• 32:23
  something other than Star Citizen Squadron 42 release
• 32:30
  trailers. You know, getting the average
• 32:32
  Joe interested in Star Citizen, not just the captive audience
• 32:36
  that that it has now, but new blood, new players.
• 32:40
  They need that, you know, they need to put set aside money and
• 32:43
  marketing dollars because there's going to be a release
• 32:46
  soon. And instead of spending a bunch
• 32:49
  of money on on the captured audience, we need to spend money
• 32:54
  on the new audience. So that started me thinking
• 32:56
  about that whole thing. I like, well, what are they
• 32:59
  going to do? You know, this is this is their
• 33:02
  perfect opportunity. Holiday 2025 because GTA 6 is
• 33:09
  delayed and GTA 6 is only coming on console for at least a year.
• 33:14
  Anyway, is it delayed? Yeah, it was supposed to be out
• 33:18
  this year. It's out.
• 33:19
  It's coming out next summer. Oh, I thought it was coming out
• 33:24
  20. Six, you know, holiday release
• 33:27
  for Squadron 42 would be amazing what every space and space game
• 33:33
  enthusiast wants in their stocking, you know, and they
• 33:37
  they could have box additions, collectibles, you know how they
• 33:40
  are. They love to hype up all the
• 33:42
  stuff. I mean, just think about it,
• 33:45
  think it through and this is like big money, big money in the
• 33:50
  bank, especially if if they could sell close to what what
• 33:55
  some of these other space games like the was it Bethesda?
• 33:59
  There was it was that I don't even remember the title.
• 34:02
  It's it was so terrible. Starfield.
• 34:06
  Starfield. I mean look how many copies that
• 34:09
  thing sold and it was a junk. True, you know.
• 34:14
  Even if you capture half of the audience that that captured and
• 34:17
  and keep them coming back and wanting maybe to get into Star
• 34:20
  Citizen, you know, talk about marketing.
• 34:24
  It's a gold mine. And this this will be mostly all
• 34:27
  new blood. Yeah.
• 34:29
  And you're, I mean, you're thinking about this, I think
• 34:31
  rightfully so as a business management, you know, marketing
• 34:35
  perspective, you, you have a limited budget, where do you
• 34:38
  spend it? I could see that that that would
• 34:40
  make a lot of sense to me. I'm not so pessimistic about it
• 34:44
  being two hours, though. I'm optimistic about that
• 34:49
  because I hope. I'm wrong.
• 34:50
  I'm hope. I'm hope I'm.
• 34:52
  I'm terribly wrong. I hope I am.
• 34:54
  I mean I. Well, I mean, how much do you
• 34:55
  need to advertise? If you look at the last couple
• 34:57
  of years, some of the most successful games and game
• 35:00
  releases haven't been marketed at all.
• 35:04
  But that's good. Well, they released a blade.
• 35:06
  They had this one, they had this one thing going for them.
• 35:09
  They were pretty good games. Yeah, Star Citizen can is almost
• 35:14
  a crazy game. It's a known unknown.
• 35:18
  It's a known unknown, Yeah. Star Citizen is pretty good and
• 35:22
  we got it. We got to we, we got to admit
• 35:23
  that. I mean, look at nail I'm doing
• 35:25
  right now. I just but we don't we're.
• 35:27
  We're not. We're talking about Squadron 42
• 35:30
  though, so. We don't know.
• 35:32
  We don't know. Yeah, because that's the thing.
• 35:34
  Everybody knows Star Citizen outside of our world, outside of
• 35:39
  the Star Citizen world, no one knows Squadron 42.
• 35:42
  It's not like everybody is like, like the lay people are just out
• 35:45
  there going. I've heard that Squadron 42 is
• 35:48
  going to come out one day like they don't know what it is.
• 35:51
  Most people outside the bubble think this is all a scam.
• 35:55
  Yeah. OK, most people outside the
• 35:57
  bubble think it's a scam. So, you know, if you bring
• 36:01
  something like a single player title out and it's not a scam
• 36:05
  and it's amazing, guess how the tide will start to turn.
• 36:10
  That's true. Well, I I would think that what
• 36:13
  they also need to do is, you know, you get spot in 42.
• 36:16
  Welcome to Star Citizen. You know, I mean it, it just
• 36:20
  happens to be part of it, you know, So I think that would
• 36:24
  definitely bring a new influx of players because I'll be honest,
• 36:27
  I'll be playing that game for a month.
• 36:29
  I'll be playing Star Citizen for 10 years.
• 36:31
  So yes, you know, will it benefit us?
• 36:33
  But like, I don't know, like I don't, I don't know.
• 36:41
  I don't know what what what they can do to to really get the type
• 36:45
  of success that they need to justify the delay of Star
• 36:51
  Citizen so long. Well, if, if, if, if squadron
• 36:55
  comes out and it plays smoothly, it it is, it is compelling, it
• 37:01
  looks good, got a decent frame rate on a halfway decent
• 37:06
  computer. These are all things that point
• 37:10
  to the average Joe, the average gamers like, oh, wait a minute,
• 37:14
  Maybe I was wrong about this. Maybe this whole CIG, Star
• 37:18
  Citizen whole thing is there's a little bit more to us and, and,
• 37:22
  and then what I've been led to believe.
• 37:24
  And I'm I'm talking from the point of view as a non Star
• 37:28
  Citizen fanatic. Oh, I get it, I get it.
• 37:31
  So these these are the people that we as a community need more
• 37:36
  than anything. I think, I think the the the,
• 37:39
  the existing player base. I mean, yes, this says a 5
• 37:42
  million accounts, but come on, let's just be serious.
• 37:46
  How many alts are there in there?
• 37:47
  How? Many.
• 37:47
  How many of those people are actually playing of the 5
• 37:50
  million? Well, how many?
• 37:51
  How many people here have an alt account?
• 37:54
  I do. I do, I don't.
• 37:56
  I don't have a game pack on it but. 1234 of you.
• 38:02
  I do, I do or I have. I have a citizen.
• 38:05
  I have a Star Citizen pack on my alt but not a squadron.
• 38:10
  OK, there you go. So, and just in here and I mean
• 38:14
  you're all a bunch of animals anyway.
• 38:16
  So it maybe it's not the best sample.
• 38:18
  Size, that is, that is true very.
• 38:22
  Well, no offense. Here's accurate statement.
• 38:24
  To that, to that point about Squadron 42 and Star Citizen, I
• 38:28
  think that it's a good thing if they don't talk about Squadron
• 38:32
  42 during the Citizen Con. Oh yeah.
• 38:38
  We all know 100. Percent.
• 38:40
  We all seen it, we all know. Like they're the regular guy
• 38:45
  who's never really played a space game is tuning in to
• 38:49
  Citizen. They're going to wait until the
• 38:53
  Squadron 42 trailer pops up at the end of the year when they
• 38:57
  start advertising it for a 2026 holiday release, which is my
• 39:02
  guess. So I would like to get some news
• 39:06
  about it, but I would also not want to see it at Citizen Con
• 39:11
  because last. 5 minutes. Just give us the last five
• 39:13
  minutes. I mean, even if I don't see
• 39:16
  that, I'm fine with it because fair enough, you know, Like
• 39:20
  what? What else are we going to see?
• 39:22
  I don't really care to see anything else other than a firm
• 39:25
  building state give. It or or a.
• 39:28
  Demo. I'll take a demo.
• 39:30
  You know it wouldn't. Big Treat Squadron 42 is the
• 39:34
  main project. This is the thing that they
• 39:38
  think is, is, is what we're all funding.
• 39:43
  We are not funding Star Citizen. We are funding Squadron 42 in
• 39:47
  their eyes. So I, I don't think that that
• 39:49
  I'm not talking about is going to happen.
• 39:51
  I think that it's it, there's going to be a lot of talk about
• 39:53
  it. There's possibly going to be
• 39:55
  another demo. There may be even a new live
• 39:58
  demo that isn't just a bunch of you know.
• 40:02
  Pre setup animations, you know cut scenes so.
• 40:06
  I heard they have a leak of Mark Hamill with his shirt off
• 40:12
  topless. That's not hard to do.
• 40:14
  I'm. Just saying that's what I heard.
• 40:17
  Like old man Mark Hamill. Or well, he's it was like 1010
• 40:22
  or 15 years ago when he recorded. 10 or 15 years ago
• 40:27
  when he recorded his his. When he recorded his mocap, the
• 40:30
  first source. Of its squadron.
• 40:33
  Yeah. Oh.
• 40:35
  He's supposed to be a military man, so hope.
• 40:38
  There's a. See there could be that that's
• 40:44
  what's been holding the game back.
• 40:45
  They can't get shower tech fixed.
• 40:48
  Well, we needed to physicalize water droplets coming out of the
• 40:54
  Bosfitz when they come out, so it has been a hard challenge to
• 40:59
  overcome. You heard it here first from
• 41:02
  Jens Flores, CIG developer out of Frankfurt.
• 41:07
  Is that right, Jens? Yes, yes, yes.
• 41:10
  It's the only place where we can get Xanax over the table.
• 41:14
  This is not the only place you can get Xanax over the table,
• 41:17
  Jens, What is the strangest thing that Chris Roberts has
• 41:22
  asked you to physicalize? In a recent project, we're
• 41:27
  working on solid and liquid waste.
• 41:30
  So now we are working on solid waste and it is our
• 41:34
  physicalization process has changed.
• 41:37
  So now we can account the density as well.
• 41:41
  And how is the density going to affect the biological gameplay?
• 41:47
  In many ways, depending on how many gallons of waste you may
• 41:53
  have, if it is more solid waste it is easier to manage with the
• 41:58
  gravity gun, or if it is more liquid waste than it is harder
• 42:03
  to manage. And what about fires and
• 42:08
  engineering gameplay? That is a project we will be
• 42:12
  working on. Yens Flores, everybody, straight
• 42:17
  from Frankfurt, Germany. If that doesn't sound like a
• 42:20
  crock of shit. Yes, the Croc.
• 42:25
  Is rim shot sound? What's going to happen when when
• 42:28
  the ship gets disabled, the gravity generator fails?
• 42:31
  Is there going to be a bunch of shit floating everywhere?
• 42:35
  We do have a reminder for the player to flush and if they do
• 42:40
  not flush then yes, that is a possibility.
• 42:43
  How many? Of these, how many of these
• 42:45
  savages will not put the seat down?
• 42:50
  It is you. You press F It's not hard.
• 42:57
  It'll be in one of the next surveys they send out.
• 43:00
  Yes, I. Don't think we're going to like
• 43:03
  the results though. So Murphy Jack, you're my Co
• 43:09
  host today, my original host, as everyone may or may not know, I
• 43:15
  I announced the beginning of show.
• 43:17
  He's on a Bake Off, a Bake Off challenge, not the Bake Off
• 43:21
  show. I can't tell you which show, but
• 43:22
  he's on a show right now. He's bacon.
• 43:25
  Last week he did something with Peaches.
• 43:26
  He wouldn't tell me he was working with this week.
• 43:29
  But Drake left us a comment here.
• 43:32
  Can you see it there, Murphy? In the I can.
• 43:36
  Oh, you want you read it out for us?
• 43:37
  So Drake? Tevington asked.
• 43:40
  So for your question, what's the best way to introduce people to
• 43:43
  the game who say have the entry Aurora or Mustang?
• 43:48
  Well, get them out of that Aurora or Mustang, put them in
• 43:51
  an interest with us. Yeah, show them.
• 43:57
  Show them what the game could be when you're getting out of a
• 44:01
  startership. Come play with the group.
• 44:05
  Yeah, that that goes against the spirit of the question.
• 44:09
  I know you know, he's he's asking if they have a piece of
• 44:12
  shit, shit. What can they do?
• 44:15
  They. Can do lots of stuff.
• 44:20
  So the other night Blay and I were over at a outpost in Pyro.
• 44:27
  They were doing repair missions and we flew into this one
• 44:32
  outpost and there was a starter ship down near a cargo pad.
• 44:37
  And I'm like, well, I'll go down, I'll see what's going on.
• 44:39
  And then lo and behold, is this guy doing his first ever cargo
• 44:42
  mission, couldn't figure out how to get the freight elevator to
• 44:46
  work. So I got down and I helped him
• 44:51
  and showed him like, oh, you got to raise the elevator first,
• 44:53
  right, To be able to put the boxes.
• 44:55
  So they snap on and that right there, like shows you like just
• 44:59
  hop in and go just to get out there, do a, do a, take a car, a
• 45:04
  starter cargo mission. You know, you can fit that cargo
• 45:07
  in an Aurora or a Mustang. It's only like 3 SCU.
• 45:11
  Get out there and explore. If you're in pyro, you're
• 45:14
  probably gonna get blown up. But I mean, that's all part of
• 45:17
  it. And I was telling the guy I was
• 45:19
  like, you know, you're in 'cause this was in pyro.
• 45:21
  It's like, you know, you're in a really dangerous spot.
• 45:23
  And he's like, oh really? He's like, yeah, it's very
• 45:26
  dangerous over here. Like this is you're lucky you
• 45:29
  didn't get shot and he was at like the number he was at
• 45:30
  Sacron's plot, which is like right now is a hotspot, but just
• 45:36
  get in there and look at the missions and just, and, and go
• 45:38
  for it. But I mean, the, the best way to
• 45:45
  introduce people, I like I was saying to the, the best way I
• 45:50
  see to introduce people to this is with friends, 'cause if you
• 45:55
  go out there and just do this alone without any idea of how to
• 45:58
  do some critical workarounds or like the stuff that we've just
• 46:02
  become so accustomed to that it's not even a bug to us
• 46:04
  anymore, but it actually is a bug.
• 46:09
  Find, find a group of people. That's the best way to introduce
• 46:14
  them, I feel. But I get it.
• 46:15
  In the spirit of the question, what can they do with the order
• 46:17
  of Mustang? Cargo missions, Starter combat
• 46:21
  missions, investigation missions, bunker missions.
• 46:26
  There's so many things that you can do on a small scale to get
• 46:30
  started. It's not as intimidating as it
• 46:33
  seems, even though it does seem extremely intimidating.
• 46:39
  I I think to add to your point and bring it to that spirit is
• 46:45
  you can have other people on your Aurora.
• 46:50
  I think we we can get like 4 in there.
• 46:52
  Yeah, your Mustang. You know, two behind you.
• 46:59
  Yeah, the Mustang is a very individual ship.
• 47:02
  I mean, it's very much a solo ship.
• 47:05
  And you won't have the same experience.
• 47:07
  You know, you'll be like looking for space combat constantly, and
• 47:10
  then you'll go, well, I'm not really finding the level of, you
• 47:13
  know, constant excitement that I need.
• 47:14
  So it's like, whatever. But in Aurora, you know, it's
• 47:18
  made to have other people on it. It's made to do other things,
• 47:22
  and I think that it's made to do the thing for the things that
• 47:24
  you're Speaking of is, is, is, you know, having community,
• 47:28
  having fun with other people because, you know, that's why
• 47:31
  you're in an open world, you know?
• 47:36
  But I think probably just adding on to what was already been
• 47:41
  said, but anybody with the one of those starter ships, the one
• 47:45
  thing I would say is if they've already, you know, bit the
• 47:48
  bullet and bought that starter and they have it and they're
• 47:52
  ready to go, hook them up with a decent org like Red Scar and
• 47:58
  have them make sure they're they're able to find the
• 48:02
  discord, get on because and just tell them just jump in, jump in
• 48:06
  the deep end, see what you can do.
• 48:08
  And when you finally get to that point where you can't move
• 48:11
  forward, jump on discord, get with some people will though.
• 48:15
  There'll be plenty of people that would love to help you out
• 48:18
  and show you the ropes. That's true.
• 48:21
  I would like to add for those that are intimidated by going
• 48:24
  into a voice chat with a bunch of strangers, don't have to talk
• 48:27
  like. Yeah, you don't have to talk,
• 48:29
  but it does help. It does.
• 48:31
  It makes things a lot easier, especially there's you're you're
• 48:35
  going to be spinning multiple plates, juggling balls, using
• 48:38
  all your. Penalties.
• 48:39
  Whoa. Not in this Discord.
• 48:44
  You get the point and being able to talk makes it a lot easier.
• 48:49
  And I mean, it used to be, I think, you know, maybe 10 years
• 48:53
  ago, 15 years ago, people had a really hard time talking and
• 48:57
  comms and stuff like that. But most gamers now, I think
• 49:01
  that most people that want to progress and be active in a
• 49:05
  community, they kind of, it's just kind of comes with the
• 49:08
  territory. You just got to, you know, queue
• 49:10
  up, hit that mic, enable, go talk and, you know, just take
• 49:14
  baby steps at first. You know you'll, you'll find
• 49:16
  your voice and you and and you'll fit into, into, into one
• 49:20
  of the niche groups in the in the orgs, one of the orgs,
• 49:23
  whatever org you decide to go with, I think you'll, you'll
• 49:26
  find your way quite easily. Yeah, I think that that the
• 49:31
  voice aspect of it, because, you know, I was born on the 360, so
• 49:35
  I was cutting my teeth out in old Halo and everyone was
• 49:38
  talking trash all the time and teabagging each.
• 49:41
  I still teabag to this day. If you get teabagged by a guy in
• 49:44
  purple armor in Star Citizen or on Halo, might be me.
• 49:48
  And also during Citizen Con. And also during citizen con if
• 49:52
  you're there. But that wasn't in game so.
• 49:56
  We don't have to talk. We don't have to talk.
• 49:58
  Well, that was cool. Warning about that.
• 50:01
  Don't want evidence? We don't even know you.
• 50:03
  Don't. Even follow me.
• 50:05
  I have I have pictures. Yeah, well, that's on you.
• 50:10
  You shouldn't have been taking pictures of that.
• 50:12
  That's that's gross. What was I saying?
• 50:16
  It's irrelevant now. You grew up on 360?
• 50:20
  But but now I think that's coming back though, like the
• 50:24
  chat and the game chat and stuff I see, I see that coming back.
• 50:27
  I see that in when I'm playing other games.
• 50:30
  I see people on the mics all the time, like competitive PvP
• 50:33
  stuff. That is fascinating.
• 50:35
  I think there's probably a good a good research paper from
• 50:39
  there, like the bones of something there.
• 50:41
  That would be interesting. But I think a lot of it goes
• 50:43
  back to the pandemic where we all had to be talking online,
• 50:47
  like we didn't necessarily have an alternative unless we want to
• 50:51
  talk to the walls. The walls.
• 50:55
  That's an excellent point actually.
• 50:58
  Yeah. And I'm, I'm just curious as to
• 50:59
  like what made that go away and I'm wondering if it was like a
• 51:02
  phenomenon 'cause. You know I.
• 51:05
  Was so young, online chatter and stuff.
• 51:08
  I don't know. I feel like for a few years
• 51:09
  there it was like. What do you mean like just
• 51:12
  talking online with strangers? Like in a chat room or voice
• 51:16
  comms? I'm I'm thinking specifically
• 51:18
  with video games. I think it's the technology.
• 51:23
  The technology has changed and the social environment has
• 51:25
  changed because the technology used to be your voice Commons
• 51:28
  were more or less. If you're with more than one
• 51:31
  person on the phone, that's an that's odd, but if you're with
• 51:34
  more than one person in a video game, you're in a match made
• 51:37
  server or something, that's different than the tech.
• 51:41
  That's where the tech was. Maybe got up to 8 people or so
• 51:44
  tops. But then things shifted with
• 51:48
  VoIP becoming more and more available and more platforms and
• 51:52
  look at us now, we're on Discord right now and that is the go to
• 51:56
  platform after things like Teamspeak and Ventrilo and all
• 52:02
  the others just kind of lost the VoIP race.
• 52:08
  I think. One, one thing we're we're
• 52:10
  quick, one thing that is holding back a lot more social
• 52:13
  interaction and voice comms is a lot of these multiplayer games,
• 52:19
  a lot of them went down this path that if you decided, oh, I
• 52:23
  don't want to play with other people, I want to solo
• 52:27
  everything. A lot of these these games made
• 52:30
  it possible where you could just solo most if not all the
• 52:34
  content. At some point you didn't need to
• 52:36
  interact with people anymore. And I think that hurt that whole
• 52:39
  social aspect of interacting on boys.
• 52:44
  Yeah, yeah, I'd, I'd probably agree with you there.
• 52:50
  I'm just thinking also Discord right now.
• 52:53
  And I just know that there are a lot of people who use Discord
• 52:55
  who aren't necessarily gaming on it.
• 52:58
  Like it's not gaming communities.
• 53:00
  And so the technology now has expanded so that like we're
• 53:06
  using it, we're all playing games on it.
• 53:07
  But like, I have other Discords here that have nothing to do
• 53:10
  with video games. Yep.
• 53:13
  And I think it's just expanded so much now and you can find C&D
• 53:18
  and they have political things on Discord now.
• 53:21
  It's just like a generalized communications app I feel.
• 53:25
  I have one personal clubs. Mass protests in Nepal recently
• 53:30
  where it was organized on Discord like hundreds of people.
• 53:36
  Yeah, I think we're going to see a lot more of that.
• 53:41
  It's just it's got good organization tools too.
• 53:43
  You ever, you ever do something at at work, if you got like a
• 53:47
  desk job or or whatever and everyone's using whatever
• 53:51
  management software they're using and you're like, man, this
• 53:53
  would flow way better on Discord.
• 53:56
  Yeah. Microsoft Teams.
• 53:58
  Oh my God, if. We could all just be on discord
• 54:01
  for this. This would make job the job way
• 54:03
  easier. So glad I've never had a job
• 54:06
  where Teams is the go to online. You haven't worked in an office.
• 54:11
  I have, but slack. We had a lot of slack.
• 54:17
  Teams isn't that bad. Teams isn't that bad.
• 54:20
  It works it it does what it needs to do for most.
• 54:22
  People, it's a resource hog. It doesn't matter.
• 54:26
  Most people, most people in offices, their computers are 99%
• 54:31
  idle anyway. Yeah, I, I worked in an office
• 54:35
  where we had four gigs on our computer for some dumb ass
• 54:38
  reason. And it was, it got to the point
• 54:40
  where, you know, I mean, obviously we're using, you know,
• 54:43
  we have to use, we use Chrome for a web client for SAP and or
• 54:48
  for CRM and like Teams would just make the computer just die
• 54:53
  all the time. I have to like actually.
• 54:55
  Not a teams problem. Yeah but there's no reason for
• 54:58
  it to suck up like over a gigs worth of ram for nothing.
• 55:02
  Because it's tracking all your mouse movements and everything.
• 55:05
  Literally your boomer boss who doesn't know how a computer
• 55:09
  works can feel like they can spy on you whenever they want to.
• 55:13
  In reality, they're just slowing everybody down.
• 55:18
  That's my experience anyway. And I am sorry to all the the
• 55:21
  boomers out there. You guys get a a hard rap.
• 55:25
  I'll admit it in in credit to boomers, these people were
• 55:30
  driving to and from an office five days a week.
• 55:32
  A lot of them. I used to do that.
• 55:36
  I know, that's why you're fucking insane.
• 55:39
  I used to work 80 hours a week at an office man.
• 55:42
  Jesus. I was a salaried employee that
• 55:45
  was getting basically paid for 40 hours a week and and the
• 55:49
  phone didn't stop when the when I left.
• 55:53
  I mean, I was an IT. So when shit hit the fan, you
• 55:56
  got to, you know. How?
• 55:58
  Long how? Long was your commute.
• 56:02
  Towards the end of my corporate America stint, it was like 1 1/2
• 56:06
  miles because I moved so close to the office because I
• 56:10
  literally got like one of these efficiency apartments but in the
• 56:14
  upscale community. And this was like 15 years ago.
• 56:18
  The rent for like a shoe box in Alpharetta, GA was like almost
• 56:23
  $900 which is outrageous if you saw the size of the apartment.
• 56:28
  I mean laugh. Laugh in LA laughing.
• 56:30
  At him. No, you don't understand at the
• 56:35
  time a a nice apartment like a three bedroom went for that in
• 56:40
  the Alpha in in Georgia. You have to understand.
• 56:43
  Georgia, you know, you, you, you, you can't, you can't look
• 56:48
  at those prices compared to LA. It just doesn't work.
• 56:52
  Whole of different scales here. I got an IT friend that moved
• 56:58
  from LA. They had a shithole 3 bedroom
• 57:00
  apartment in a shitty part of town that sold for over
• 57:04
  $1,000,000 and they came over here and they built like a 3500
• 57:08
  square foot mansion. Oh yeah, a nice community and
• 57:12
  they still had money leftover. Oh, yeah.
• 57:15
  But there's, there's, there's the trade off too.
• 57:17
  And there's a reason why it is so expensive out here.
• 57:19
  But like 900, it's still like people dream of that.
• 57:24
  And it's more of looking at the current, the current situation
• 57:27
  where across the country $900 is still very low.
• 57:31
  And that's 15 years ago. Not even.
• 57:34
  Oh yeah, no, no, no, no. I'm looking at the same.
• 57:35
  Apartment now is like 2500. Oh I bet and and it sucks
• 57:40
  because it's not just LA anymore like L as prices are pretty much
• 57:44
  everywhere everywhere now and it sucks one of my.
• 57:48
  Clients, they have a, they have a, they have a high rise in
• 57:51
  Birmingham, AL. The, the penthouses on that in
• 57:57
  that building start at over 5 grand for like a shit hole.
• 58:03
  So, And that's Birmingham, AL. East.
• 58:06
  Bumblefuck. Well, maybe all these big tech
• 58:11
  companies should take over giant landmasses, no?
• 58:15
  You know what we need in? Star Citizen.
• 58:16
  Housing we don't need alien Earth OK like.
• 58:20
  That's the other thing I think, sapping on sitcom.
• 58:22
  Housing. Do you?
• 58:24
  Think Alien. That maybe, I don't know, it's
• 58:27
  better like steering about the citizen.
• 58:30
  Like like building our own houses or.
• 58:33
  No no no no prefabs where you can store your your pet flat
• 58:39
  cat. Oh yeah, See what you're saying?
• 58:41
  Like, like at the at the at the green circle thing on Orson,
• 58:47
  That's your private thing. You're not going to spawn in
• 58:50
  there with Billy Bob at the same time, right?
• 58:53
  That's really awful going. To happen.
• 58:55
  Yeah. Well, you might be on to
• 58:56
  something Broccoli. Because maybe or maybe not,
• 59:00
  you've seen the Citizen Con Direct 2955 Digital Goodies
• 59:05
  Pack. I have.
• 59:08
  Have you seen anything in it that indicates that?
• 59:11
  Is there a house key inside of it?
• 59:13
  There is. Well it's not a house key but
• 59:16
  they are giving you decorations and supposedly something you can
• 59:22
  sit on I believe. Yeah, but they've been doing
• 59:25
  that for a while now if you're a subscriber.
• 59:27
  Or do you think it's been giving up furniture for months?
• 59:31
  Yeah. I mean all.
• 59:32
  All the more reason decorate your hanger.
• 59:34
  Like what am I going to do is sit in my giant hanger, put a
• 59:36
  house in there, you know, like put a little section in there.
• 59:39
  But like, no, it's just they give us a couch to put in the
• 59:43
  side of A and they've been doing that shit for months that it's
• 59:46
  dumb. Yeah, they're given 3 new decor.
• 59:51
  Yeah, 3 new decor for your house instead of second digital
• 59:54
  goodies pack. So I assume if they're giving
• 59:56
  you decor and the goodies packed, there's some kind of
• 59:59
  content there at the in the event video?
• 1:00:03
  I'm going to take the pessimistic view and say no,
• 1:00:06
  they just like giving us crappy furniture.
• 1:00:10
  Yeah, decorate your hanger. They did the last year.
• 1:00:13
  Blast blows it away. Yeah.
• 1:00:16
  But hey, you know, that's just, that's more stuff for when that
• 1:00:19
  does come online that we'll be able to.
• 1:00:22
  That's true. Yes.
• 1:00:23
  And I I would also love to see diversity of haves like everyone
• 1:00:30
  has the space for it. Let us buy a more expensive hat
• 1:00:35
  and pay rent on it. Oh yeah.
• 1:00:39
  Like I want to see, like I want to have a penthouse in Area 18.
• 1:00:43
  Through 9. 100. HOA fees?
• 1:00:46
  That sounds like something on the on the pledge store if it's
• 1:00:52
  in game. If it's in game that'd be
• 1:00:54
  awesome, but if it's on the pledge store I poo poo.
• 1:00:56
  That it'll it'll be in game. Let's get this whole this.
• 1:01:04
  We have a whole plan. They did lasted the thing.
• 1:01:06
  I mean, not lasted the thing gone, but well, yeah, the last
• 1:01:08
  citizen gone, they were talking about how like you make a claim
• 1:01:11
  on the land and all that stuff. I mean, just because it's based,
• 1:01:13
  it doesn't mean it's your house, doesn't mean it's not your
• 1:01:15
  house. I mean that that is your house.
• 1:01:16
  Oh no, I'm, I'm talking about not like, not like land claims.
• 1:01:20
  I'm just talking about like an instanced apartment with
• 1:01:24
  different floor layouts, like a three bedroom.
• 1:01:28
  Maybe one of those bedrooms can be an Armory.
• 1:01:31
  And. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:37
  And so that's an early version of instant saying.
• 1:01:41
  And I know like the last monthly report, they mentioned how it's
• 1:01:45
  just now coming online. So I would love to see it.
• 1:01:49
  I don't think it's going to happen though, unfortunately,
• 1:01:52
  but I've been saying it's going to been happening, going to be
• 1:01:54
  happening for a while. So I may as well just stick with
• 1:01:56
  it. The one thing I've always wanted
• 1:02:01
  for the hangers is, you know, when you land and you, you pull
• 1:02:06
  into your hanger and there's that one wall where the guys are
• 1:02:10
  like walking around like there's like MPCS, like I don't know if
• 1:02:14
  it's ATC or something. Like I always thought, you know,
• 1:02:17
  what would be cool is if we had access to that and that could be
• 1:02:20
  our half right off the hanger, but it's like enclosed, you
• 1:02:24
  know, I. Agree dude, I was saying.
• 1:02:26
  Those guys and those guys that are in there coordinating the
• 1:02:30
  hanger, those are like APC you could hire and they could be,
• 1:02:34
  you know, managing your shit for you.
• 1:02:37
  The old tangos let us access that area.
• 1:02:40
  Yeah, I would like to see that. My only, the only reason I think
• 1:02:45
  it's not going to happen is because they built out these
• 1:02:48
  entire cities for us to go into. Yeah, that's.
• 1:02:52
  True. So they have I they have reasons
• 1:02:55
  other than we want you to go to your have to go into these
• 1:03:01
  cities like I think like missions are going to you're
• 1:03:04
  going to have to go to a location to pick them up.
• 1:03:07
  Eventually you're going to be turning in families at certain.
• 1:03:10
  That was in the monthly report. It's like there's going to be
• 1:03:12
  locations you can start missions instead of just your mobi class.
• 1:03:16
  Yeah, yeah, like you're required to go to like a mission giver
• 1:03:20
  instead of yeah, instead of just pulling up your mobi.
• 1:03:24
  Yeah, but I do want like a taxi service from our hangar.
• 1:03:28
  It's like, all right, pay 50 UEC to to fly me directly to my hat.
• 1:03:33
  Sure. Yeah, land on the roof and then
• 1:03:37
  take the elevator down. Or I could take public transit
• 1:03:40
  if I want to be stingy. OK, I'm I'm conflicted on the
• 1:03:48
  mission giver idea. I I don't like that everyone's
• 1:03:50
  going to the same guy. I just the whole Doctor Yorit
• 1:03:54
  thing. It's like how many facilities?
• 1:03:56
  Maybe, maybe, maybe they can make it to where it's not it's
• 1:04:00
  it's procedurally generated and it's not a they may be similar
• 1:04:05
  missions almost maybe it's identical missions, but you have
• 1:04:08
  to talk to somebody else. But then.
• 1:04:10
  Who? Broccoli has to talk to, for
• 1:04:12
  example. Yeah, I mean that.
• 1:04:15
  That that would be awesome. I.
• 1:04:16
  Think, yeah, they're going to be like, oh, it's jar, jar.
• 1:04:18
  He should talk to someone else. Yeah, I don't want to talk to
• 1:04:22
  the same guy. Yeah.
• 1:04:25
  Or even I, I thought, I always thought it was a cool idea where
• 1:04:27
  it's like you get a mission or like something pops up and
• 1:04:32
  you're like, hey, go to this bench in the area AT Plaza or go
• 1:04:38
  to G Lac and sit at a booth and someone will be in touch.
• 1:04:41
  And then they spawn an NPC from one of the spawn closets.
• 1:04:45
  And then just some random guy comes up and he's like, hey, I
• 1:04:48
  work for twitch. Here's the details.
• 1:04:51
  All right, see you later. That's the way to do it, man.
• 1:04:54
  Yeah. So something like that.
• 1:04:56
  Then when you get higher up you go and you go to like the
• 1:05:00
  headquarters that twitches it and you take an elevator and it
• 1:05:03
  instances you into that meeting. I I think bonus points if Twitch
• 1:05:11
  actually does a corporate partnership where you can make
• 1:05:13
  this happen. Twitch on Twitch.
• 1:05:17
  Oh, Twitch on Twitch? I got you.
• 1:05:20
  That was slow. Insert the worm shot there too.
• 1:05:24
  Well, Speaking of corporations, it's Pirate Week.
• 1:05:30
  Yeah, that's good. That's good.
• 1:05:32
  That's a good segue. Shiver me livery pirate paints.
• 1:05:36
  We got pirate paints coming in if you like those.
• 1:05:38
  I've got skulls on them. I'm into this.
• 1:05:40
  It's pretty cool if you like skulls.
• 1:05:42
  Anyone here like skulls? I've got mine.
• 1:05:46
  Yeah, carrying one around with me every day, yeah.
• 1:05:48
  It's with me all the time. So this year, every year, I
• 1:05:53
  guess it'll last three, maybe four years.
• 1:05:55
  Now they have these cool, I love these, these pirate clues.
• 1:06:00
  So you have like a treasure map. And this year I think it's just
• 1:06:04
  two clues. Last year they are they blue?
• 1:06:09
  No clue. But then you you go to the
• 1:06:13
  places and you basically find a code and you type the code in
• 1:06:16
  the website. And this year you will be
• 1:06:18
  getting fancy yourself. A Wayfair worthy of loot.
• 1:06:26
  Best keep that code safe from mutineers and enter it here.
• 1:06:32
  Oh, OK, I thought I told you what it gave you.
• 1:06:34
  Well, I'm going to read you guys the clues and we're going to
• 1:06:37
  maybe see if we can kind of figure this one out.
• 1:06:41
  So there are there are two, but I'm saying right now there are 4
• 1:06:44
  total. OK, so they're going to release
• 1:06:47
  the other two? Oh yeah, 4 clues are already
• 1:06:49
  waiting. Yes, they're already.
• 1:06:54
  Are they going to release those next week?
• 1:06:57
  No, they're already out. Oh really?
• 1:07:00
  Where do you have the other ones?
• 1:07:03
  Don't worry about it. OK, spoilers.
• 1:07:07
  So the first two publicly released clues are hoist
• 1:07:12
  yourself up the Spire region for the Clouds oyer Cutter's Rig
• 1:07:17
  where X be planted on the Lone Peak.
• 1:07:21
  Let O Odel guide ye to the 6th be seek Cutter's Rig.
• 1:07:31
  Cutter drag. I have farmed some armor there
• 1:07:33
  before. Where is this?
• 1:07:36
  What planet? What?
• 1:07:39
  Moon, that is Hurston. It's on.
• 1:07:42
  Hurston, yeah, Or one of the moons.
• 1:07:45
  No Hurston. Yeah, yeah, it's Hurston.
• 1:07:48
  Hurston OK, yeah. All right, so there's an X
• 1:07:50
  planted on a Lone Peak guidee to the 6th E seek.
• 1:07:57
  On a Spire there, so it's on one of the towers of Cutter's rig.
• 1:08:04
  I got stuck on one of those towers once going down.
• 1:08:10
  The second clue is where memories fade in, whispers hiss.
• 1:08:16
  Never mind the treasure. Be not in the stacks, but on the
• 1:08:20
  flank. And where the senior or senor
• 1:08:25
  could be senor, And where the senior keeps the cipher, the
• 1:08:29
  secret be yours to claim, And where the senior keeps the
• 1:08:35
  cipher, the secret be yours to claim.
• 1:08:39
  Where memories fade and whispers hiss, Never mind the treasure.
• 1:08:44
  Be not in the stacks, but on the flank.
• 1:08:49
  That is extremely cryptic and I don't that.
• 1:08:52
  Is I don't got anything for that one.
• 1:08:55
  I think they're going to have to update that shit soon because
• 1:08:57
  that is completely. Very vague.
• 1:09:04
  Well if you just want the answer to the clues, I'm sure you can
• 1:09:06
  find it on Reddit. If not, just ask around.
• 1:09:10
  Someone will tell it to you if you ask.
• 1:09:11
  Oh. Yeah, the racism app.
• 1:09:14
  So I was walking around. Yes, broccoli Rob, please.
• 1:09:20
  It's there's a forward operating base called Never mind.
• 1:09:26
  And never mind is with a capital N where memories fade and
• 1:09:32
  whispers hiss. Never mind.
• 1:09:35
  OK, it's right there. So they always put the location
• 1:09:38
  in there and it's you can tell it's location because it's
• 1:09:41
  capitalized. Oh, OK.
• 1:09:44
  Proper nouns. Well, back, yeah.
• 1:09:46
  I was going to say, back in the day, they would capitalize every
• 1:09:51
  proper noun that's reading The Terror right now.
• 1:09:55
  And they do that in the personal journal entries.
• 1:10:00
  Well, you're supposed to capitalize proper.
• 1:10:04
  Noun. Or is it?
• 1:10:04
  No, no, they capitalize every noun, and I think I know why.
• 1:10:07
  Oh yeah, because it's Germanic influence.
• 1:10:10
  Yeah, because in Germany you capitalize nouns like all.
• 1:10:14
  Nouns. German high school.
• 1:10:16
  So if they have German staff, even if they speak English right
• 1:10:20
  and they're going to start, they're just, it's just going to
• 1:10:24
  look normal to them. Yes, this is true.
• 1:10:27
  My mother was from Germany. Sorry, my father was from
• 1:10:32
  Germany. You're wotter.
• 1:10:43
  All right. Well, Jens Flores, do you, do
• 1:10:44
  you have any spoilers for us for the upcoming Citizen Khan Direct
• 1:10:48
  coming almost exactly a month from today?
• 1:10:52
  Month after tomorrow. If I do that, I unfortunately
• 1:10:58
  would be contractually euthanized.
• 1:11:02
  Harsh, but fair. Wow, I I kind of feel guilty
• 1:11:07
  giving them my money now. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 1:11:11
  no, no, no. Give, give, give, give money.
• 1:11:12
  Please please please please please.
• 1:11:15
  I don't know. I like to vote with my wallet.
• 1:11:17
  You know what I'm talking about. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 1:11:20
  They're over there euthanizing their employees.
• 1:11:23
  No, please give money. You know, don't don't mistake me
• 1:11:29
  for some pinko commie, but I just don't feel good about this
• 1:11:34
  one. No, you don't understand.
• 1:11:39
  All right, so if you thought all the bugs were over right now
• 1:11:42
  playing on the on the twitch on the stream there, it may not be
• 1:11:46
  lined up in the recording. I got stuck here, this door
• 1:11:49
  wouldn't open and I ended up getting stuck in the ship.
• 1:11:54
  CIG fixed that shit. Hey, you're supposed to be dead,
• 1:12:02
  Get. Out of here, tired of getting
• 1:12:03
  stuck in walls and shit. I know it's probably really
• 1:12:06
  hard, but you know, cutting out. We have to work on the flight
• 1:12:10
  model first. That's right.
• 1:12:13
  OK, So Citizen Khan, let's wrap it up here.
• 1:12:16
  We're obviously going to hear something about the flight
• 1:12:18
  model. Always.
• 1:12:21
  What's the wind stuff? It's just like.
• 1:12:25
  Physicalized air flying through wind.
• 1:12:27
  Physicalized air and grain droplets.
• 1:12:31
  So we're going to hear about that.
• 1:12:33
  What do you guys think? Are we going to hear about
• 1:12:36
  engineering? Oh, are they going to let it go?
• 1:12:43
  Yes, Murphy says yes. Maybe in passing, like I don't I
• 1:12:48
  don't know if it'll get a full like dedicated segment, but it'd
• 1:12:51
  be like, oh, Dev junior, go back to turn the Shields up.
• 1:12:58
  It's like we need more power to shield.
• 1:12:59
  It's like, aye, captain, that's how we're probably good of that.
• 1:13:03
  I've. Given her all she's got,
• 1:13:05
  Captain. All right then, Paramount's
• 1:13:09
  lawyers, you'll be knocking. Yeah.
• 1:13:12
  Hello, Sir. So Lord Anubis, you were on the
• 1:13:15
  show last week and at the end of that show you and I made the
• 1:13:20
  thumbnail for last week's episode.
• 1:13:22
  Yes. Now we said, man, this
• 1:13:25
  thumbnail, this is going to get so many clicks.
• 1:13:29
  We did all the click pity stuff and it is our worst performing
• 1:13:34
  episode of Sense like. Just hate Nicholas Cage, it's
• 1:13:40
  so. I, I am, I will now prepare my
• 1:13:43
  sword. I am very sorry about this and I
• 1:13:46
  will no longer be a bother to you.
• 1:13:48
  Can there's some on the Spotify where people don't really get
• 1:13:51
  the thumbnail? Like it's like our second most
• 1:13:55
  listened to on the Spotify. That makes me feel worse, thank
• 1:13:58
  you. So I'm pretty sure not to make
• 1:14:03
  you feel bad, but this week, Lord neighbors, if you want, if
• 1:14:05
  you want to, if you want to give it a second go, I'm willing
• 1:14:10
  because, you know, I don't care about anything anymore.
• 1:14:15
  Wow, Yeah, yeah. Thanks.
• 1:14:17
  If you want to give it, if you want to give it a second go,
• 1:14:19
  maybe a little redemption, maybe just solidify, you know.
• 1:14:25
  The scientific method of thumbnails to to prove your
• 1:14:28
  conclusions so I can internalize it and take it as a part of my
• 1:14:33
  psyche. There you go.
• 1:14:36
  So we're we're kind of to the end here, but we did do
• 1:14:39
  something pretty, pretty cool this week before Citizen Khan,
• 1:14:44
  before the next patch, which is going to have medical gameplay.
• 1:14:50
  Yeah, I think next, maybe next week we'll talk a little bit
• 1:14:52
  more about medical gameplay. But I did want to touch in it a
• 1:14:55
  bit. This week they released all the
• 1:14:57
  the medical beds. They're releasing the what is it
• 1:15:01
  called the medical, the RSI. Apollo.
• 1:15:05
  The Apollo. They're releasing the Apollo.
• 1:15:07
  They give us a little briefing on how medical beds work.
• 1:15:11
  OK, hobo you. You know how they're working,
• 1:15:15
  right? Yes.
• 1:15:17
  Can you give us a little brief overview?
• 1:15:19
  How do the tier one through 3 medical beds work as of today?
• 1:15:24
  As of right now before the patch, you just spawn on them
• 1:15:29
  and that's about all. Like currently there is very
• 1:15:33
  little differentiation between them.
• 1:15:35
  The higher the tier medical board, I guess the lower
• 1:15:39
  technically because it uses the American system which is 3 is
• 1:15:42
  the lowest, 2 is the middle, and one is the highest.
• 1:15:46
  That is going to have a lot more new nuance and features coming
• 1:15:53
  with the next patch. So now you just spawn for free
• 1:15:58
  and it doesn't matter and you can just spawn forever and it's
• 1:16:00
  honestly kind of obnoxious at times.
• 1:16:02
  You can just spawn forever but in the next patch you will have
• 1:16:06
  a consumable Med gel. You put your Med gel into Med
• 1:16:10
  beds and you need that to do anything with Med bed.
• 1:16:15
  Fun heal. Oh OK.
• 1:16:17
  No you can still receive IV fluids and food without any Med
• 1:16:23
  gel that is not consumed. But everything else from healing
• 1:16:27
  to reviving, well that's it. You you you need Med gel for and
• 1:16:33
  I recently updated it from pretty much just a flat amount
• 1:16:37
  for each Med bed and there's a certain amount so I can go
• 1:16:41
  through what they are now. There's no point talking about
• 1:16:43
  what happened before but pretty much the short of it is tier 3
• 1:16:48
  Med beds are your smallest Med beds.
• 1:16:50
  You will get 2 revised out of them with a full Med bell Med
• 1:16:55
  gel complement in your Med bed. For Tier 2 you get you will have
• 1:17:01
  4 revives available with a full complement of Med gel and then
• 1:17:07
  for Tier 1 you will have 6 revives available with a full
• 1:17:11
  complement of Med gel. Now you ask what else can you
• 1:17:14
  use Med gel for healing? You know those injuries you
• 1:17:18
  sometimes get? Well backspacing will cost
• 1:17:21
  resources now, so maybe just go get those healed for cheaper
• 1:17:24
  instead because it uses less resources to heal.
• 1:17:28
  When you say bad spacing will cause resources, what resources
• 1:17:32
  in particular? Med Gel.
• 1:17:34
  Just Med gel, you're not going to like lose any money or
• 1:17:36
  anything. Not yet but Med gel costs money
• 1:17:41
  outside of we. We still have socialized
• 1:17:44
  healthcare in the verse. So responding is still free at
• 1:17:48
  stations. But if you want to respond at
• 1:17:50
  your private vessel or vehicle like a medic pen or medical
• 1:17:56
  ursa, that requires Med gel to fill out the Med bed.
• 1:18:01
  And as of right now, each canister of Med gel and that's I
• 1:18:08
  think 1 revive per canister of Med gel has was essentially how
• 1:18:12
  it was before, though it's a little different now because it
• 1:18:16
  used to be. So canisters have now 200 Med
• 1:18:20
  gel. So that is 2 revives per
• 1:18:22
  canister at each canister cost 100,000 UEC.
• 1:18:29
  So we're getting a healthcare system, baby America.
• 1:18:35
  Yeah, that sounds about right. So last time we spoke, Lord
• 1:18:40
  Anubis, I remember you in particular voiced this, that how
• 1:18:45
  ridiculous is it that these Tier 3 and Tier 2 Med beds can't heal
• 1:18:51
  severe injuries, but they can reprint you, they can revive
• 1:18:54
  you. I thought about that and you
• 1:18:59
  inspired me. And so this week we had a
• 1:19:03
  question, Should all Med beds allow revive?
• 1:19:08
  And we had 31 votes on this, which is pretty good.
• 1:19:11
  I think everyone in here voted. So thank you all for voting.
• 1:19:16
  So should all Med beds allow revive?
• 1:19:19
  The choices were yes. The revive system as presented
• 1:19:22
  is perfect. Two, only tier one and two Med
• 1:19:27
  beds should allow revive, 3 only tier one Med beds should allow
• 1:19:30
  revive, and four citizens should only be allowed to revive in
• 1:19:35
  medical centers. The number one, the highest
• 1:19:40
  voted with 39% was yes. The revive system as presented
• 1:19:44
  is perfect. Now the other three all have
• 1:19:50
  it's close enough that it's split.
• 1:19:53
  But the second highest one was 29% only tier one Med beds
• 1:19:57
  should allow revive. So I'm going to bring this all
• 1:20:01
  to y'all. Maybe Anubis?
• 1:20:04
  Maybe you want to start with this one since you inspired me
• 1:20:06
  for this. What do you think about this
• 1:20:09
  pole and what do you think about the revive as it is?
• 1:20:13
  I think everybody's wrong, as they often are.
• 1:20:18
  No, I mean, you know, reviving. OK, so are we talking reviving?
• 1:20:24
  Are we talking respawning? You know, because there's a
• 1:20:28
  difference between there. There is.
• 1:20:30
  Remotely, you know, reviving, I think all bets should be able
• 1:20:34
  to, you know, give you a little jump start to the heart.
• 1:20:38
  You know, if you, if you were to take someone and you know, put
• 1:20:41
  them on there, it should be able to reanimate them.
• 1:20:43
  I, I think even tier 3 should be able to do that.
• 1:20:46
  It may not be able to treat the major injuries, but it can get
• 1:20:48
  you alive again. Respawning, printing, I think
• 1:20:52
  level 2, Tier 2 and up my I, I don't think that a Pisces should
• 1:20:58
  be able to respond from that. I I don't know why.
• 1:21:00
  It just doesn't seem. It doesn't seem plausible to me.
• 1:21:10
  As a as a pollster, your take care and revive respond.
• 1:21:14
  I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed That's that's a good
• 1:21:18
  point. I would also take umbrage with
• 1:21:20
  the word perfect, but that's. I know, I know I did.
• 1:21:23
  I just, you know, I'm going to be honest guys, I just, I
• 1:21:25
  blatted it out there, you know, I made sure it was spelled
• 1:21:28
  correctly. But it's a start.
• 1:21:31
  It's a start. We're getting there.
• 1:21:32
  I I'm actually thought about this now.
• 1:21:36
  Someone who's not upset Wicket. What do you think about this
• 1:21:38
  pole? I don't even know those this was
• 1:21:42
  a thing. Is this a thing now or is it?
• 1:21:47
  I didn't either. Just go.
• 1:21:48
  With it, yeah, this is a thing. Well there's talk in the
• 1:21:51
  community like not all Med beds should maybe allow you to
• 1:21:55
  respond, which I feel I voted that only tier one beds because
• 1:21:59
  I figure if if only tier one beds can heal, you know, severe
• 1:22:03
  injuries, then only tier one beds should allow you to be
• 1:22:07
  fucking printed again like Mickey 17 you know?
• 1:22:10
  I think. I think this is all mute until
• 1:22:13
  we really know what death of a spaceman means.
• 1:22:19
  Very well, very well, Broccoli. What do you think about this?
• 1:22:22
  Yeah. So I think that it should either
• 1:22:26
  be all Med beds or it should be no bed beds.
• 1:22:30
  I think having it be only tier ones or like Tier 1 and tier
• 1:22:36
  twos. I think though that's just care
• 1:22:38
  owners that want their Med bed to be relevant.
• 1:22:42
  It needs to be all Med beds or none.
• 1:22:46
  And I think that what CIG is signalling is that you're going
• 1:22:52
  to be respawning a lot based off of this latest medical like
• 1:22:59
  article they put out. They're they're building a lot
• 1:23:03
  of stuff to be like, oh, you, you are incapacitated and
• 1:23:07
  there's no help. All right, here's a bunch of
• 1:23:10
  options. Here's something that's very
• 1:23:13
  easy to look at because we're expecting that you're going to
• 1:23:15
  be looking at it not or kind of often often may be the wrong
• 1:23:23
  word, but I think more than a lot of people initially thought,
• 1:23:27
  like instead of 10 lives before your your quote perma death, I
• 1:23:32
  think it's going to be 100 or 200.
• 1:23:36
  Like I think this character that you have before you perma death
• 1:23:40
  is going to be with you for a very long time.
• 1:23:44
  It definitely feels like they've taken that.
• 1:23:48
  They're putting a lot more effort into the responding then
• 1:23:52
  they would have implied years ago, because years ago they're
• 1:23:55
  like, Oh yeah, you're just, you're eventually going to
• 1:23:57
  permit that. You know you after like $10 you,
• 1:24:00
  you'll die. Yeah, and that freak people the
• 1:24:04
  fuck out because they thought permit death meant like, I don't
• 1:24:07
  know, they get their pledge deleted or something.
• 1:24:10
  Yeah, that was never going to happen, but.
• 1:24:13
  It's just a tax. Is this a tax?
• 1:24:17
  Well, I get the resources thing with the beds, but I don't I
• 1:24:20
  don't get the tiered injury thing.
• 1:24:23
  Like if it can print a whole new body, why can't it?
• 1:24:26
  I'm cuz I'm yeah, I'm just always focused on the lore of
• 1:24:28
  the narrative. And when things don't, I know
• 1:24:30
  it's a video game, but when things don't make sense like
• 1:24:32
  that, I'm like, couldn't you have just like, written it
• 1:24:34
  differently? OK, how's this out here?
• 1:24:38
  Here's a bit of a compromise. OK, if you regen or if you
• 1:24:45
  respawn in a tier 3 bed, all of your tier 3 injuries go away.
• 1:24:52
  Your Tier 2 gets brought down to a tier 3, your tier ones get
• 1:24:56
  brought down to a Tier 2. So it kind of like kind of
• 1:24:58
  repairs you at great cost. But I can still respond there.
• 1:25:05
  Like if my arm's broken and it can print a new arm anyway, Like
• 1:25:10
  why not just chop that arm off and reprint a new one on me?
• 1:25:14
  Because the trauma echo of like like getting into like
• 1:25:18
  regeneration, like your body remember or your imprint
• 1:25:22
  remembers that you had. So yeah, but.
• 1:25:25
  So what the the Tier 1 bed can do that?
• 1:25:29
  It's not that that can't happen. It's not that they have this
• 1:25:31
  like the Tier 1 bed can reprint you and fix all your injuries
• 1:25:36
  and the tier 3 bread can reprint you but it can't fix all your
• 1:25:39
  injuries and it takes. More resources because it's a
• 1:25:42
  because it's a lower quality bed, so your imprint gets there
• 1:25:46
  and this lower quality bed tries to reprint you, but maybe
• 1:25:49
  reprints you with that broken arm still.
• 1:25:52
  Oh I see what you're saying. So if I revive at my OK, so if
• 1:25:56
  I'm brought back to life on my low tier 3 bed, I might be
• 1:26:02
  brought back with some of those injuries still?
• 1:26:05
  If we remember some of the lore or that's already been announced
• 1:26:09
  or that's out there about regen, it's we.
• 1:26:13
  We stole this tech, Humanity stole this tech.
• 1:26:15
  So we're kind of monkeys playing with with God tier tech.
• 1:26:20
  So I can see how we might not. There's budgets involved and
• 1:26:26
  corporations involved and we've seen what megatech megacorps do.
• 1:26:30
  So maybe they, you know, cut some corners on these lower tier
• 1:26:33
  beds. OK, all right, all right.
• 1:26:38
  You're, you're, you're, you're slowly bringing me to the to the
• 1:26:41
  light there or to the. Dark.
• 1:26:42
  I'm not saying that's what they're doing, I'm just saying I
• 1:26:44
  think that's what they should. Do what they should do.
• 1:26:47
  That's a good idea guys, just saying.
• 1:26:49
  United Healthcare still exists 1000 years in the future, so,
• 1:26:53
  you know, draw whatever conclusions you need.
• 1:26:57
  UEE Health. Evil corporations pour in, the
• 1:27:00
  evil corporations vile then pour in playing with tech we don't
• 1:27:06
  truly understand. Which is actually one of the
• 1:27:09
  cool things of the current ASD phonics facilities and the
• 1:27:13
  region crisis. Because we're kind of coming to
• 1:27:15
  the conclusion that, oh, maybe we didn't work out all the kinks
• 1:27:20
  of this tech before we started implementing it in a wide scale.
• 1:27:24
  And if you do look at the timeline, this has only been
• 1:27:27
  implemented for the past less than a decade.
• 1:27:31
  Yeah. Is this some kind of Freudian
• 1:27:33
  psychological thing by CIG? Like maybe this wasn't ready
• 1:27:37
  before we sent it out? I do, Maybe are they reflecting
• 1:27:42
  a little bit? They they do kind of hint at
• 1:27:46
  things in there. If you look at the loading
• 1:27:48
  screen one, it's like. Yeah, Good, good, good.
• 1:27:51
  Good for them. Murphy, do you have anything you
• 1:27:54
  want to add, anything you want to say about these medical beds
• 1:27:56
  or the revives? I hope it's, you know, it's a
• 1:28:01
  good change. I I wish they kept with the 100K
• 1:28:07
  per Regent. I think, you know, make it a
• 1:28:12
  little more harsh, like we're getting a little a little too
• 1:28:16
  comfortable. Just, you know, careless
• 1:28:19
  respawning. Make the medical roll count like
• 1:28:24
  big time, right. I know we talked about it in our
• 1:28:28
  combat. I think it does need to be a
• 1:28:31
  little more punishing down the road.
• 1:28:33
  I get it the bugs, but I think it's a step in the right
• 1:28:37
  direction. All right, very good.
• 1:28:41
  We're just. Begging for money sakes.
• 1:28:44
  Begging. Begging for money sakes.
• 1:28:48
  Please give me, let me spend, let me sync that shit.
• 1:28:53
  Well Murph Co host this week. What do you think?
• 1:29:00
  Yeah, I think I should care about Citizen Khan.
• 1:29:04
  Yes, you should. Yes, you should.
• 1:29:08
  Well, this is open Comms Radio. If you've made it this far, give
• 1:29:12
  us a little, like maybe a little subby sub.
• 1:29:15
  You can listen to us on the on the Spotify.
• 1:29:19
  We're on the YouTube. We're gonna move to Rumble.
• 1:29:22
  Very soon. And we're gonna, we're gonna
• 1:29:28
  cater to the audience maybe a little more.
• 1:29:30
  The Lord and Nubis we'll be, you'll be in charge of
• 1:29:32
  thumbnails over there. But we're going to end this show
• 1:29:37
  the way we like to end every show.
• 1:29:39
  And that's why I go around and ask everyone in reverse order.
• 1:29:43
  Is there anything like to say to CIG Chris Roberts for the people
• 1:29:47
  on the Internet and 1st on our list today.
• 1:29:52
  Wicked, thanks for stopping by again.

  What's NIST mean in German? Nothing true.
• 1:31:09
  What do you mean? Nix, Nix.
• 1:31:12
  When you say Nix in Deutsch, that means nothing like.
• 1:31:16
  How can it mean nothing? Nix means nothing.
• 1:31:20
  It's the literal translation. What do you mean it means
• 1:31:23
  nothing? It.
• 1:31:25
  Just means. It just means.
• 1:31:27
  Yeah, it's got to mean something.
• 1:31:28
  Hey, it means nothing. No, it doesn't mean something.
• 1:31:31
  It means nothing. It means nothing.
• 1:31:33
  That no, it's got to mean something.
• 1:31:35
  Nothing can mean nothing can mean something.
• 1:31:38
  What does nothing mean? What does?
• 1:31:39
  Nothing. Mean what does nothing mean?
• 1:31:41
  Nothing means nothing. They sound like your mom.
• 1:31:45
  Your mom goes, oh, how was school today?
• 1:31:48
  And you go or you, she goes, what'd you do at school today?
• 1:31:51
  And you go Knicks. So you did are.
• 1:31:56
  They listening to this too? Are they in German?
• 1:31:58
  In German, In German the mom would say what has to hold in in
• 1:32:02
  the schuler and he would answer you have a Nix kamat.
• 1:32:06
  Kamat means I did nothing. I did nothing with the force.
• 1:32:12
  I mean I didn't do anything. Is also force and also means
• 1:32:17
  that it's a whole. It's fun.
• 1:32:20
  Fuck dude, I lost my who is next?
• 1:32:23
  Was that it? Did I get broccoli?
• 1:32:26
  I got Anubis. Did I get anubis?

  Anubis. No, because you were first
• 1:32:30
  Anubis. Anything you want to see to see
• 1:32:33
  ID Chris Roberts with the people on the Internet.
• 1:32:35
  Nicks. I want to say that Gaslight
• 1:32:39
  isn't a real place no matter what Wicket says, and every time
• 1:32:45
  he keeps trying to reiterate that it is, just inform him of
• 1:32:49
  the truth, which we all know what the truth is.
• 1:32:55
  Yeah, Well, that was good Silence.
• 1:32:58
  That was good. I don't.
• 1:32:59
  I don't know what that was about, but.
• 1:33:02
  Yes, you do. Yeah, you do.
• 1:33:05
  Gaslight. Yeah, you know, you know, you
• 1:33:07
  know, you're crazy. You're crazy right now.

  I don't. Remember.
• 1:33:12
  I wasn't there with you guys, whatever you were doing.
• 1:33:15
  Yes, you were. I I, I remembered her being
• 1:33:18
  there. I think I would.
• 1:33:19
  All of us know I. Think I would know if I was
• 1:33:20
  there. See Why are you playing this
• 1:33:22
  game? I'm not playing any game.

• 1:33:47
  OK, Sorry. Anyway, Murphy Jack, you're my

  After I do the closing, I'm going to ask you guys the
• 1:34:18
  question. Anything you want to say to CIG.
• 1:34:21
  And then there's Pop and no one listens.
• 1:34:23
  The three people that listen all the way to the end.
• 1:34:26
  There's like one guy. Yeah.
• 1:34:30
  All right, Murph. Well, you're the Co host.
• 1:34:32
  You know what that means? You've been here long enough.
• 1:34:34
  Got to play us out. Oh, man, Doo Doo Doo, Doo, Doo
• 1:34:39
  Doo Doo, all right. You, you know, you gave it a
• 1:34:43
  better effort and actually went more proactive than most.
• 1:34:47
  Yeah.
