Happy birthday Sanctuary of Wanderhome !!! ...grab some beer and have some fun! Lets keep it up ladies and gentlemen!

Yes I realize it should read "poor" German but that didn't have the same flow to it. I notice there are some German players complaining about how their language is butchered on some of the weapons names. I speak even less German than I do Norwegian, but I see what they mean. How does CIG, which employs Germans and has an office in Germany, decide pseudo-German is ok? English is more sandbox I guess, at least American English. We suspend rules and make adjustments all the time. But apparently that doesn't work for German. And also yes for a game that is so big on lore I'm not really sure how Tigerstreik ever passed muster. Anyway I thought it was interesting and I will be curious to see how the CIG responds. My favorite quote from the conversation is this :

Apparently they took down the graphical representation of the Production Schedule? I was looking for it and found this instead: Two interesting items I note on the Production Schedule (updated from the GamesCon) Basic Ship Security-With the gameplay we’re adding in to 3.0.0, we’re conscious that there may be some other players that would love to kill you and take your ship. To help prevent this, we wanted to implement some basic security that will allow you to lock the ship, so only you have the ability to pass freely through its doors. Part of this work includes adding destruction for external ship doors to allow for the other half: basic breaching / boarding. Race Tracks on Planets-To give our planetary environments extra points of interest, and also an excuse to drive ground-based vehicles around at high speed, we thought the best way to do this was to build some rudimentary race tracks on the planets that would have been previously used by the research teams as a way to blow off steam and have fun. I am happy for the doorlocks. That's been a problem for a while now and why I don't usually venture out from Single Player as much as I would like. I've had my ship taken a few times right from the landing pad. I am not that big on the racing but this sounds interesting because it is ground-based instead of the flight-based ones. This should be fun! I like what they are doing with the game. This is really going to be epic.

Around the Verse is on hiatus this week while we’re at Gamescom, but we still have a “Burndown” tracking our work on 3.0. Get updates on bugs currently affecting animations, retractable landing gear and more.

Here is a fun little picture I found of some Sci-Fi genres if anybody is looking for a new one to watch. https://imgur.com/a/EL839

One button will setup you grid, put in the foundation, assign plots to pre-configured buildings, send out invites to civilians, establish a government, create new jobs, slowly corrupt the officials, increase the required spending to maintain a base quality of life, implement a loan system, take 'ownership' of the civilian's homes until they can pay it off, and finally create a stable ecosystem where people can never leave. Poor lesser npcs stuck on their pre-set routes and idle animations.

That is interesting hehe. SancT City lets goooooo

Sandi Gardiner and Josh Herman host this week’s episode of Around the Verse. This episode explores the upcoming mission system and includes another installment of “Burndown."

It might just be a selector for a variety of city buildings and probably not a drop in for a whole city. That would be great though. But I would hate to walk through 20+ of the same city

I still think it is interesting that the "score" for a guild would depend on the number of members.

Ooh yeah that would be epic. Star Citizen on IMAX almost hehehe.

Samsung has launched a new 49 inch curved monitor! Currently Windows 10 doesn't support the ultra wide monitor. But they have software to download to make it able to split the screen to 3 monitors. Check the video below to see this beast! It is available for per-order on amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072C7TNC5/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I10XBXKAO5VILX&colid=22JOKTBDSN3AO

How get 3 of them and get them to wrap around.

Hmm typical- it looks good and then you find out Windows 10 can't handle it. What is Win10's problem? I love large screens.

Hmm one of the first things I want to do is checkout one of those moons. on-foot. I have tried walking on asteroids and GrimHex but it just isn't the same.

I'll be pushing an update to which galactic version we'll be using. Expect technic to ask you to update soon :)

/salute!!!!!!

A short but sweet Bugsmashers for this week which solved a problem with turret control on a Cutlass. Why I think it is interesting: I liked how he was showing that just by changing the priority that the ship manufacturer could force a ship to be multi-crew or allow for it to be single-player. I have a Cutlass too so yay.

Always love seeing the cutlass being used. Gonna see a lot more of that cutlass in the future

yay! to us and the future!

Hmmmmm!

Sweet! We all saw it live but here is what happened behind the scenes!

It looks like they had a Q+A on the ship. Hopefully giving us some more information. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/16093-Q-A-Origin-600i I think that we were talking about the missile capabilities and that seems to have been answered:

And for those of us who get lost, 4 columns over in the Origin section and it would be the gray ship named 600i. I like how that graphic is organized. I've seen some others where it was just by size but I really like the grouping by manufacturer also.

...because of the solar eclipse on August 21st; visible in the US. Time will tell KEK!

Yeah I actually like this!!!!

So it was revealed this $400 ship was the 600i. It appears to be origin's version of a constellation, so i've compared to the two. Looks like this ship really only brings the luxury stat to the table for if you want to buy it. Interesting note is one pack includes an origin rover which we don't know much about. Constellation: More cargo space, ability to carry other vehicles, max 5 man crew, carries much more missiles 600i: Luxury status for missions/rep, higher dps with a specific loadout(given 2.6 knowledge), recommended 3 man crew

Imagine going back to the first mmo you played and having a player's character talk to you and emote to you in real time!

I haven't been watching all the Lore videos but this one was on an area I thought was interesting: the Hadrian System. What I thought was intriguing: One of the oldest systems in SC, it was the center-point of the Xi'an. Although it was poised to fight and has a history of military occupation, it never entered the war. But now with HuXa, it has the potential to be an important trade route. Also, it connects to several other jump points and systems. I really like the look of the Xi'an ships and look forward to hopefully interacting with this culture in-game. My dream list for SC is to have this be one of the playable alien races.

-"Sir there appears the planet is freezing over at an unexpected rate" Officer-"What was the cause?" -"Sir... the thermostat on the terraformer was accidentally set to Fahrenheit, the damage will be irreversible"

....closest thing to Norway so far

Interesting ground vehicle the Tumbril Cyclone. In around the verse we heard it's suppose to be the middle ground between the rover as a tank and the Nox as a quick and fragile speed machine. While the hoverbikes have their grav lifts and boosters the Cyclone will use common wheels, which means it'll have a smaller IE signature. Here are a few interesting facts to take away from the Q&A and Around the verse. The base Cyclone has wheel equipped to go off road with four wheel drive and four wheel steering. The Anti Air Module will have 2 size2 or 4 size1 missiles. It also comes equipped with Chaff, Flares, Smoke Screen, and size 1 EMP counter measure. The Racing Module will have a 'nitros' boost according to Around the Verse The Recon Module can act as a 'beacon' to let ships fly into hazardous areas such as sand storms. Overall it seams like the cyclone will be a versatile vehicle that can take a few hits in combat. Should be an easy vehicle to farm up in the verse!

Love it when he flails with his hands lol

Sounds like a report a certain Johvar would send to his superiors. Your work is appreciated as always sir. May the force give you strength.

So there was an art fair in my town last week that is actually supposed to be fairly popular. I usually dont buy things, but there was this one guy that combined street art with some other things, and create a sort of collage. Needless to say I had to buy it. What do you guys think?

I prefer Monet but hey Star Wars :)

It must have something to do with the lighting from the two sources. Maybe they think this would be too demanding on people's systems?
