What is this crap!!!!!

This is when I signed up... on the 11th of Oct. But the RSI website claims I actually signed up on the 24th with #45925
Really I'm just jealous though.

Regarding the feature creep, I think that it certainly had an impact, but I think the main thing was the quality creep. The fidelity of everything is lightyears ahead of the original trailers.

Hmmmm... My profile says I enlisted on Septemter 12, 2012. It must be tied to when you made an RSI account (and got a "golden ticket") which was open before the Kickstarter actually started.

new TFTC:

-15 minute flight model explanation at the beginning. I skipped over it, if you're interested don't skip it
-you'll have the ability to change the power to individual/groups of thrusters, which will control thruster output as far as power
-discussion of what the devs are hearing from player feedback about Arena Commander v0.8
-some thoughts on how co-op will work in SQ42 and how to meet players for wingmen and such in the PU
-thoughts on Oculus Rift support vs trackIR support and how trackIR is getting integrated
-discussion of how the Galactapedia is being made up
-they are revamping the pledge store to have 3D models to view and such
-there will be PvE style stuff on planets, but not unauthorized PvP. so you might get mugged in an alley or an NPC might pull a gun on you in a bar, but you personally can't do this to other players and they can't do it to you.
-discussion of some of the control methods and how they are attempting to balance KBM vs joysticks and such in the future
-some worlds will have "space monsters" like the Rancor for some PvE FPS stuff. probably won't be day 1.
-they are deciding on whether or not repairs/item replacement will be instant or take time.
-they have the ability for changing ship AI voicepacks and customize the HUD (and CR will be in the PU and/or SQ42 as an actor/voice).

Chris Roberts and Physics programmer John Pritchett blinding you with science about the flight model.

[Tea-Assault]

It's actually really cool how they illustrate to us how they model the moments around the COM involved in the flight model, I think the diagrams are really awesome and shows a shitload of thought went into designing it

Video is Chris Roberts explaining the current release plan for the next two years.

Not sure if I can bear waiting another two years for the *full* release. I think I may have to take a break from following the game development for the next year or so or I may go crazy.

[Tea-Assault]

I just found this part of the website, it looks pretty handy for people who are new to this and want to know what's going on https://robertsspaceindustries.com/project-status

I waited for Duke Nukem Forever, I can wait for anything

14k, got mine 3 hours ago. So excited! Just started the client and got a 7GB patch. And now I play the waiting game...

It seems they are doubling the amount of players every business day. So it shouldn't take long to get everybody in.

[SeraphiM0352]

i dont know if i should upgrade my freelancer to one of the variants (and which one) or not... I think it would be easier if i knew what kind of variants will come out for the connie.

Also...new ship sale tomorrow?

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm ... -Available

New ship you can pledge for available until June 27.

I personally really really like the design and am incredibly curious how it will actually feel flying it. So much so that I am now currently 150 dollars more broke than I was before officially joining the ranks of people who have spent more money on this game than any game I've ever played before and its not even close to being "out" yet.

new TFTC
