Hi Everyone, Just wanted to say hello real quick as I just joined the organization. I am still very new to Star Citizen but I already absolutely love the game. I cannot wait to play more and see the game progress and one day be the full game that has always been planned. Thank you all for accepting me here and I look forward to seeing you all out there! Take Care! Asmodeus

Yes! I saw it and had to have it! The Herald loaner is fun too, it's fast

Here is a link to the Q&A Great stuff. One of the more noteworthy points is there is an official differentiation between what ships like the Terrapin do as a "scanning" ship and what ships like the Mercury and Herald do. Also, "An example of legal data collection in PvE would be a mission along the lines of scanning a certain location for information, such as asteroid composition/density. Alternatively, you may recieve a mission to find specific player owned ships & their locations, which will need to be reported back the mission giver. Illegal data collection would be something more along the lines of intercepting sensitive information between two ships for PvE or intercepting and beating another player to delivery on an existing data running mission. " - CIG Thats cool.

AI is a very scary concept because of how easily it is altered. For example, they altered IBM Watson and microsoft AI "Tay" after it learned to swear. (well technically Microsoft AI "Tay" after it learns how to use vulgar language or reactions in the same way people speak on Twitter. Which isn't all that nice.) Or how google lied about it's translating AI/Matrix. That is the scary part about it, you don't know what the creators did to the construction itself. AI on it's own, if unbiased, wouldn't be THAT bad. It is the ones altering it. Because a basic face recognition AI could have a bias, possibly, due to the internet culture, but it should be able to read everything just fine based on it's database size. They technically only read common patterns after all.

@Yva Xorna I do probe missions and delivery missions with it, you can drop the box near the door and zooooom out it's more fun then it should be

Hey there everyone! I'm brand new to the game, and ofcourse SoW too. I'm slowly getting around the game and learning how to complete tasks, etc. Slowly but surely I'll get used to it. Do you guys mainly just chat in here and your voice comms or do you also have an official discord channel? (I tried searching but couldn't find anything) Happy Flying!

Every week, designers, engineers and other developers from our five offices around the world answer backer questions submitted on SPECTRUM and voted on by YOU.

LIVE from Wilmslow, UK. Engineers, programmers and QA testers sit down and discuss the nature of Object Container Streaming and what it means for the continuing development of Star Citizen and Squadron 42.

Which reminds me of Steven Crowders AI test lol

I sure hope skynet atleast doesn't want to destroy the entire humanity this time around lmao

Get to know the speedy, rugged, versatile Mercury, Crusader Industries' standard-setting data/cargo runner.

I love robot news.

We have gotten alot of questions about why we dont use the Discord Communication App. Hopefully the below will clarify why we stay away from Discord and why we feel that CIG/RobertsSpaceIndustries is making strides to make Spectrum a healthy alternative to the Discord Communication App. Discord Communication App FOUNDER HAS ALREADY BEEN SUED FOR PRIVACY VIOLATIONS: We demand that our communications with our members be 100% private. Discord Communication App fails us in this respect. https://techcrunch.com/2015/08/27/discord-citron/ Jason Citron, founder of the Discord Communication App, already had a “Discord” app called “Openfeint”. Openfeint was sued for privacy violations because Citron sold the private information of its users to 3rd parties without complete disclosure that he did so. As stated in Their Terms & Service, Every single thing that is said or typed on Discord Communication App is recorded and can be used against you as you see in a following example. Trust is very important, and to educated gamers, Citron isn’t trustworthy. Discord Communication App RECORDS EVERYTHING AND INFRINGES ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH. IF THEY DON'T AGREE WITH YOU POLITICALLY: While we accept all members from different cultures, colors, religions and backgrounds our leadership has a deep respect for freedom of speech. https://archive.is/hXGx8 http://archive.is/FcC4E While other organizations directly ban and kick members for talking about religion or politics, Sanctuary of Wanderhome provides places where members who want to have those types of conversations with each other via “Politics and Religion” Channels and so forth. We expect that the conversations never devolve into personal insults. Discord Communication App, as a company, does not share our own inclusivity and acceptance of all types of people; People who also share and respect our guidelines and culture. Discord Communication App IS NOT SECURE: The below video speaks for itself. PUB-G Hacked LIVE Reaction: There are other ways to find out how to effectively hack Discord Communication App channels but we will leave that to you to safely search for online as linking them from our website is too risky for our taste. Discord Communication App IS NOT SAFE: In these examples Discord Communication App sent information to the SPLC and effectively doxxed people that the owners did not agree with politically. While we do not necessarily know nor share the views of the people that Discord Communication App doxxed, we do not like the fact that the people involved had their perceived private conversation leaked to a third party FOR CASH. We want our members to have full control over what we can say and how we can say it without risk of being shut down by a 3rd party. Freedom feels good. Terms of Service Timestamp: We may in the future use Discord Communication App officially for VERY VERY limited and Executive approved situations. Inviting our members to go join a non official Discord Communication App channel, as a member or otherwise, is still against our Org Guidelines. A communication app is a communication app. We will never be hindered in anyway as an org because we do not use Discord. Mumble is easy to use and has been a great boon to our org. The sound quality and speed is exceptional and worth every penny we pay for it. If you have anymore questions about why we don't use Discord please send a private message to @Shawkorrr.

Nice! 😄 Will be cool visiting you in that one @Yva Xorna !!!

Thank you for sharing! 😄

Its size and predicted speed are surprising. Check out its Technical Overviews Here

Hey guys, I am new to SOW and Star Citizen and I need some pals to help me learn the ropes and play the game with. Anyone is welcome. Let me know if you would be interested.

Hi! New member, still have that newbie smell! I joined SC about a week ago, but having fun! While new to SC not new to games, been playing WoW since high school off and on. Right now I am into mining and some light trading in SC, I am not much of a fighter, but every once in a while I like to put a few pirates down! Really looking forward to getting involved, and seeing where everything goes!

I just saw this on steam and thought everyone who does video uploading may be interested, only $8 for an $80 editor. Movavi is a pretty good converter, editor, and compression system, and this is a great price. Only 13 hours left on the sale, so, if you are interested, take a look! Just got this for myself. https://store.steampowered.com/app/795630/Movavi_Video_Suite_17__Video_Making_Software__Video_Editor_Video_Converter_Screen_Capture_and_more/

@Anak1m We use Mumble because it is better and easy to setup. Also Discord is prone to being hacked.
