258s	even tell you when i'm gonna give you
260s	the dates
262s	it's gonna be great i'm already excited
264s	about this as you can clearly tell oh my
267s	gosh i have an abundance of energy also
269s	because you guys are supplying it in the
270s	chat as well everybody's so pleasant
274s	oh my gosh
276s	so good so let's go ahead and dive
278s	directly in here we've got a number of
280s	things that we are talking about today
281s	okay so first thing off is first thing
285s	off first thing is
286s	we're gonna cover the stinger chip again
289s	for anybody who missed it last week
290s	we're gonna do a quick recap by
292s	basically flying it and i think we're
294s	gonna use an item set that we have
297s	legitimately accidentally shown far too
300s	many times that's right umbra and
302s	penumbra we are finally gonna look and
303s	see what what is up with that
306s	um it's going to be it's gonna be
308s	delightful
310s	we are going to talk about a lot of the
312s	tweaks and changes
313s	and when i say a lot i actually mean a
315s	handful this this coming spring update
318s	um
319s	oh boosters okay calm down there
321s	boosters all right but this this coming
323s	spring update uh it has
326s	kind of an absurd number of of uh tweaks
329s	and bug fixes and stuff so i'm gonna
331s	start cracking open what that looks like
334s	so you guys have a sampling of what's to
336s	come once we finally get to uh that
338s	release
340s	oh my gosh oh my goodness
343s	stream is live just not the update yes
345s	very very good yup yup everyone's
347s	getting so excited i know that
349s	experimental it's such a tease but we
351s	are getting close
353s	we are getting close all right look at
355s	look at this little guy oh my gosh
357s	we got our hornet c1 i can't remember if
360s	i colorized this after the stream ended
363s	or or before but i wanted to look more
366s	authentically like a hornet and this is
367s	what i came up with i actually might do
369s	one more change hang on
370s	i might do one more change
372s	uh i might swap the harvest gold
376s	and the white around just to give it
378s	more yeah that's better i think that's
380s	better
381s	i wanted to have just a little bit more
382s	of that harvest gold
384s	yeah
385s	all right i like that
388s	cool so just given it uh it's
391s	still says rogue that's an illusion
393s	that's it's too it's totally a stinger i
396s	don't know about this rogue class ship
398s	you guys were talking about it's gone we
399s	removed it from the game entirely
401s	and uh oh my gosh our inventory
403s	management is uh
405s	let's get let's get on this let's uh
407s	let's crack crack this open so first
409s	things first we have we have some
411s	some weapons here to talk about finally
414s	so you guys knew that more set items
417s	would eventually make their way into the
418s	game this is just a sampling we've got a
420s	slew of of equipment that's still in
423s	route
424s	for the spring update you will have
426s	access to both of these bad boys though
428s	so what are these what's penumbra what's
430s	umbra
432s	well basically it's a blaster and a flat
434s	cannon
435s	some people might be going wow i never
437s	use blasters or flat cannons because
438s	they're kind of underrated or or maybe
441s	they're ineffective especially like 1v1
443s	battles right and you're kind of
446s	partially true so one of the goals that
448s	we had in mind for this particular item
451s	set bonus was not only taking these
454s	weapons that aren't as
455s	popular
457s	and then transforming them to be
458s	incredibly cool when they're used
460s	together
462s	so we are going to plop both of these
464s	bad boys on and you'll see from the set
466s	bonus itself
468s	it's a very simple one
470s	very effective however switching primary
473s	weapons increases their damage by 30 for
476s	5 seconds
480s	this is effectively a straight 30
483s	damage boost
484s	just for having them equipped in tandem
487s	yeah that's that's a pretty big bonus
490s	that's a pretty big bonus so we are
492s	going to be showing that on these lesser
495s	used weapons and maximizing their effect
497s	and of course they also have their own
499s	sound effects and they have their own
501s	visuals you're wondering what those look
503s	like and sound like so let's uh let's
505s	show you
507s	let's show you
511s	some drones oh perfect let's get some
512s	flock
513s	oh no those aren't drones those are
515s	mines
521s	oh wait oh wait here we go here we go
538s	oh wait we need a third hardpoint don't
539s	we
544s	mm-hmm
545s	yeah
555s	oh yeah
558s	and we got some ramen to boots oh that's
561s	a victory right there oh my gosh just
563s	just a big shout out to garrow and all
566s	of the work that he does on the sound
569s	side of things and just the the visuals
572s	coming in obviously wanted uh if
574s	anybody's familiar with the terms umbra
576s	and penumbra at all you know that it has
577s	a lot to do with uh
579s	shadows casted
582s	eclipse-like shadows right obviously why
584s	we have uh this
586s	set item called eclipse that's the name
590s	of the set item that is not a faction in
593s	the game so everybody is aware that is
595s	simply the name of the set item itself
598s	so when you have both of the eclipse
601s	weapons you form the union eclipse set
604s	bonus
605s	and uh yeah so you have like this very
608s	bright star looking one and then you
610s	have like i mean that straight up looks
613s	like little eclipses
615s	isn't that great oh my gosh
617s	oh my goodness
619s	so we are very pleased with how this has
622s	come together and these weapons i mean
625s	you've heard me
626s	you've heard me bash on the flat cannon
628s	a strong number of times
630s	uh when i stream um and this does happen
633s	to be one of michael's the ceo one of
635s	his favorite weapons the flat cannon
637s	itself um and you know i really like
640s	that single target damage if you're
642s	using the flat cannon though in like a
643s	range of like uh drones and stuff oh my
646s	gosh the thing absolutely shreds and
648s	when you pair it with the union eclipse
650s	set bonus though uh this this black is
653s	not messing around
655s	yeah you might be thinking oh it shoots
657s	so slow but that's because every single
660s	shot i mean look at this damage
662s	look at this damage
664s	that's damage per second
666s	that's damage per second okay
668s	[Music]
670s	and it's also doing that damage to every
673s	single enemy hits within a 50 meter
675s	radius
676s	that is nothing to scoff at drones are
679s	basically just see ya but they're just
681s	annihilated
683s	absolutely annihilated
686s	all right so let's go ahead and grab
687s	some of our goods in here
689s	i can't remember why we came out to this
692s	side of union
696s	but we'll have a quick look and then
697s	we're going to talk about a number of
700s	changes and tweaks
702s	i know last week we showed the new sound
705s	effects for um
707s	for like the uh
708s	resource mining like whenever you are
710s	fully completing a resource i want to
712s	show you how that's been further tweaked
715s	a lot of good stuff though guys a lot of
717s	good stuff so flying duchess
720s	we're gonna sell a bunch of stuff that
721s	we don't need or get back in here
724s	but welcome welcome to everybody who's
726s	just joining us i've already just been
728s	flying by the seat of my pants already
730s	showing off uh union eclipse the new set
734s	so you guys can see it firsthand
736s	um and
738s	let's see we are going to scrap a bunch
740s	of these actually i'm also going to do
741s	something i hardly ever do and i'm going
743s	to look at the levels here
745s	when i'm deciding the fate of these
747s	items oh this is actually a better level
749s	and better tier
750s	[Music]
757s	i do like the eight percent per kill
760s	more
761s	but i don't know if it's worth losing
764s	almost 400 armor
770s	that said
771s	it does add resistance
776s	[Music]
778s	yeah i'm gonna swap these
781s	i'm gonna swap these i think
783s	i think that's gonna be to our benefit
785s	it might not look like it directly but
786s	you got to do that internal maths a bit
788s	when you're optimizing your components
790s	so we're gonna get rid of our renegade
792s	plating we already have the set bonus
793s	from our uh raider oh we only have a set
797s	bonus of two
798s	ah we only need a two we are not using
800s	bloodstar weapons so that's fine
803s	uh so we will go ahead and scrap this
805s	other stuff i think
807s	[Music]
809s	it's just better
811s	um
814s	[Music]
820s	dismantle all that
823s	[Music]
825s	so many union signal decoders so we're
827s	absolutely going to be activating
831s	all of those our rare ones
833s	and uh oh shoot i forgot i forgot him
836s	okay we are playing on very hard
838s	excellent
839s	excellent i wanted to make sure the
840s	entire time we're playing today we're
841s	playing on very hard now um
844s	just because we're in here i i do need
846s	to talk about this
847s	feature real quick as well
849s	this difficulty is
852s	temporary right now it's temporary in
854s	the sense of uh it's gonna change
858s	a pretty healthy amount actually right
860s	now it's a very rudimentary difficulty
862s	system where when you scale it up and
864s	down it's basically like a little bit of
867s	stat changes and that's it that is not
870s	the vision for what we have for our
872s	difficulty system just so everybody is
874s	aware it's not just a matter of how many
876s	hit points your enemy has and how
878s	accurate they are it's gonna be more
880s	deep than that uh just refer to
883s	everspace one on that front where you
885s	can actually see how the game changes
887s	based on the difficulty selected we will
890s	inevitably have those uh that
891s	information included here in the game
893s	difficulty as well but for now we're
895s	just playing on very hard that just
897s	makes it the stats increase for now for
900s	now
902s	for now
903s	okay so we uh
906s	got all those plugged in and uh yeah
910s	one of those rapid no neither of these
911s	weapons are rapid uh we could get we
914s	could get rapid as an effect on on
916s	either of these
917s	um
919s	shoot do we have rapid unlocked
923s	[Applause]
925s	oh we do we just need a hadron buffer
927s	okay hang on a second hang on a second
930s	let's just uh
932s	let's just
934s	let's just do this all right so we
936s	crafted a hadron buffer hadron buffer am
938s	i pronouncing it wrong make fun of me
940s	please in the chat
942s	excellent we're gonna make this rapid
943s	catalyst
945s	as the rapid prefix to a weapon
947s	increasing its fire rate by 25
949s	beautiful now we want to modify
953s	let's see let's go ahead and modify
955s	umbra because it fires really fast
957s	already and let's just make it even
959s	faster
963s	boom
964s	rapid umbra it's as simple as that now
967s	you didn't get a prefix guess what you
969s	can just bloop add on a catalyst you
971s	just need the resources for it resources
974s	are much more convenient in this spring
976s	update
978s	that's it that's all we had to do now if
980s	we also wanted to make this again and
982s	put it on
983s	penumbra as well you guys probably saw
985s	that that was a selection for me when i
987s	was modifying
989s	you can do that
990s	note it does not become an efficient
993s	rapid penumbra
995s	it removes the currently assigned prefix
998s	and replaces it with the new prefix all
1001s	right
1002s	i said one more time just make sure
1004s	everybody understands
1006s	when you are adding
1008s	a
1009s	catalyst that modifies a prefix it will
1012s	take the prefix on there off and then
1014s	add the new one
1016s	right you cannot stack a bunch of
1018s	different prefixes
1020s	all right
1026s	excellent so that is to wow that energy
1028s	dps uh it's gonna be hard to hit because
1030s	the spread of this weapon is actually a
1032s	little bit crazy but that's fine uh
1034s	because we're gonna be firing a ton as
1036s	the stinger definitely the stinger ship
1039s	right here 100
1041s	very nice very nice
1047s	all right so now let's go ahead and
1050s	do some high-risk locations
1054s	in the stinger for now
1056s	and then we are going to cycle over to a
1059s	couple other player ships to talk about
1061s	some rebalancing
1071s	does the addition of the catalyst change
1073s	the modified flag uh i believe it does
1077s	no it doesn't ha ha it doesn't so that
1079s	means when you add a catalyst that does
1081s	not change the modify which means we
1083s	could actually still modify this thing
1086s	in regards to other elements that's
1088s	actually another talking point which i'm
1090s	glad was brought up thank you kazaa for
1093s	asking that over on twitch
1096s	so you know how there's this requirement
1098s	of modifying where uh you can only do it
1102s	once
1104s	[Music]
1106s	i don't know about that either
1110s	so basically there's a couple things
1112s	that have been changed on that front
1114s	basically you can only increase the
1116s	rarity once
1118s	uh you can only increase the level once
1121s	i think is currently how it's working
1123s	and then you can of course remove the
1125s	level restriction but some of these
1127s	things you can actually do
1130s	all at once
1132s	you just have to pay for it that's all
1134s	that's honestly the difference let me
1135s	find something that's just uh here we go
1138s	[Music]
1139s	let's see if this works because i don't
1141s	know if this has been fully implemented
1142s	or not yet i wasn't actually planning on
1144s	talking about this but let's just see if
1146s	it's in so let's increase the rarity of
1148s	this uh raid booster yep boom uh now
1152s	it's already level 22 uh
1154s	but yeah there's nothing that's stopping
1156s	us from doing more to it
1160s	yeah
1161s	[Music]
1163s	yeah there you go
1166s	here a level 22 let's look at this one
1168s	we're going to increase the rarity
1171s	okay we're gonna also increase the level
1174s	yeah
1175s	excellent
1177s	now
1179s	you can't keep bumping up the level over
1181s	and over and over again this has been an
1182s	internal discussion for quite some time
1185s	you know i know that you guys are
1186s	already wanting to start a conversation
1188s	about it let's have that discussion
1190s	later but the long story short is that
1193s	we also felt that you should be able to
1195s	invest in more ways to modify one item
1198s	than just
1199s	one thing once and that's it
1203s	so lots of tweaks on that front
1207s	everybody's wanting me to dance i think
1208s	because that music is popping but
1211s	yeah so lots of solid changes that are
1214s	going to help you as a player with this
1217s	crafting tab
1219s	truly get the best bang for your buck if
1222s	you're gathering the resources if you're
1224s	crafting the components you're going to
1225s	be able to modify a lot to your liking
1229s	in this spring update that is soon that
1231s	we'll be talking about its release date
1233s	at the end of the stream probably
1236s	all right high risk area
1238s	[Music]
1246s	all right
1251s	now we need to get that armor drone
1253s	first i think
1255s	destroyed
1258s	where is the armor girl ah it's right
1259s	there
1268s	no thank you no thank you no thank you
1269s	no thank you
1273s	all right things are a little bit
1274s	tougher than i would like them to be so
1276s	we're going to start things off with uh
1279s	not directly teleporting into a drone uh
1282s	we need to get this guy gone
1285s	all right that's gonna make things a
1286s	heck of a lot easier
1300s	oh my gosh that old just fully healed us
1303s	guys you see that
1320s	i got the elite
1332s	we go
1335s	all right we gotta get you down
1342s	good good
1359s	excellent
1362s	destroyed
1367s	oh yes oh yes
1378s	all right so also i want to point out
1380s	that it might look like they're still
1382s	really bad at aiming but honestly the
1384s	reason why they're missing so much is
1386s	because i'm using every amount of
1389s	handling that this ship provides
1392s	the stinger is
1393s	not messing around when it comes to
1395s	maneuverability
1397s	and in order to not take a lot of damage
1399s	on very hard you have to be moving
1413s	no no no no
1418s	all right
1431s	there we go
1448s	i love the way that sounds it just
1452s	it's like complete overkill
1459s	in all the best ways oh that's very very
1462s	nice
1463s	and we got the swift catalyst to boot
1465s	nice nice nice
1468s	so that's how we're bringing everything
1470s	together with this new set item in the
1472s	stinger which is doing a lot of that
1474s	area of effect damage through its
1476s	ultimate
1477s	stinging everything at once uh bringing
1479s	all that energy back to you
1482s	oh my goodness i am i am i'm feeling
1485s	really good about this it sounds a lot
1486s	uh louder today all right hang on a
1488s	second it might just be the weapon
1490s	itself yeah we're we're operating at
1491s	that wait a second
1495s	i think we're operating at the same
1496s	amount but uh it's just a loud weapon
1500s	it's a loud weapon
1508s	excellent
1509s	excellent
1512s	what are you guys thinking so far do you
1514s	like the combination
1517s	should i have put rapid on the flat
1518s	cannon instead probably
1519s	[Music]
1522s	what's the plan for the final version of
1525s	difficulty scaling what will change
1526s	between levels that is a fantastic
1529s	question that we're not a hundred
1530s	percent capable of answering at this
1533s	time because
1534s	some of it is content related
1537s	and it would be revealing
1539s	but in short
1541s	the main goal of the difficulty system
1543s	is to you know
1545s	increase the challenge that's that's the
1548s	end goal but we don't want it to be this
1551s	is less grindy and this is more grindy
1553s	that is the that's the no-no territory
1555s	we want to go with a difficulty
1558s	selection okay
1559s	the entire point of difficulty is so
1562s	you can have more engagements you can
1566s	uh get things to be a bit crazier
1569s	you can have more opportunities for
1571s	utilizing your combat and the easier
1572s	modes are for if you want to focus less
1575s	on combat right if you don't want to
1577s	have this crazy dogfight six degrees of
1579s	freedom challenge maybe
1582s	that's just not the type of gamer you
1584s	are you just want to have a more casual
1585s	experience you want to focus on you know
1588s	just collecting resources or
1591s	you know stuff of that nature
1594s	we want you to be able to adjust it
1595s	where you
1597s	are at and how you want to experience
1599s	the game now obviously
1601s	everspace 2 is a looter shooter so the
1605s	core functionality is to be shooting and
1608s	looting
1611s	but still
1613s	i just figured there'd be i mean it'd be
1615s	nice to have a little bit more
1616s	versatility and player agency uh
1619s	regarding how that's hitting you in the
1621s	face
1630s	more challenging and more rewarding so
1632s	i'll say this so one of the things we
1633s	don't want to do cake take nine over on
1636s	youtube uh great question
1638s	uh we don't want to make it to where
1640s	there's content locked
1642s	behind a higher difficulty right
1645s	content gating is not something that we
1647s	want to do
1648s	when it comes to just the difficulty
1650s	slider so if you want to experience all
1652s	the content that doesn't mean you have
1654s	to crank it up to very hard
1656s	furthermore if you go down to very easy
1658s	because that's just where you're at and
1659s	that's how you can play
1661s	you're not going to miss any content
1662s	there either
1664s	now if you do the math
1666s	if you're fighting one enemy versus four
1669s	enemies
1670s	the chance to get an item that you're
1672s	looking for is far less from a single
1674s	enemy versus from multiple enemies so on
1677s	that front it's more rewarding but it's
1680s	effectively creating a high risk high
1682s	reward situation as opposed to content
1685s	gating situation okay
1688s	so that is what the end goal is for the
1690s	difficulty system
1692s	so great question glad i can clarify
1694s	that
1698s	all right let's uh dump some more things
1702s	wow we have
1704s	we have lots of consumables too all
1706s	right uh
1707s	dismantle this
1709s	dismantle that
1712s	for kazakh
1714s	and we'll get rid of that oh we need to
1717s	repair those okay
1719s	you know before we go to the high risk
1720s	area let's go back let's actually change
1722s	our ship let's let's choose a different
1724s	ship i know a lot of people is like
1726s	their first time seeing the stinger
1729s	but let's swap ships because we want to
1731s	talk about a couple other changes
1733s	that are in route for the spring update
1735s	that will be dropping pretty soon
1737s	since it is spring as several of you
1739s	have already pointed out
1743s	[Music]
1752s	changes pog yes
1754s	yeah no um i mean this i'm sure you guys
1757s	have already recognized this by coming
1760s	to these streams and engaging on discord
1762s	but a big aspect of the spring update is
1765s	a balance and overhaul change to
1768s	foundational systems in place
1770s	right
1772s	it's a balancing and overhauling of the
1775s	game systems
1776s	primarily with a couple you know
1778s	sprinkled in items a new player ship of
1781s	course
1782s	there's some there's some more content
1784s	that i'm not going to be you know fully
1786s	diving into just yet at least not until
1788s	we uh
1790s	get into the full launch mode
1798s	nice oh there's another one in there oh
1803s	give me that blueprint
1807s	excellent
1813s	so yeah
1815s	this update is focused mostly on those
1818s	back end overhauls and balancing things
1828s	and then the summer update is probably
1829s	going to be more uh you know
1831s	content focused just uh it's just a
1833s	hunch
1835s	all right let's look at the ship dealer
1837s	it's so nice that i don't have to hide
1839s	this screen anymore
1840s	i can just like dive in and you guys can
1842s	see
1843s	[Music]
1844s	no big deal
1848s	i really like this other wings that this
1850s	did get further polished i'm sure
1851s	somebody could probably like
1854s	compare the screenshots from last week
1856s	and then grab the ones here people
1858s	fighting outside you got to calm down
1861s	but these wings were further updated
1863s	from matthias
1866s	[Music]
1867s	but uh yeah so we want to talk about we
1869s	want to talk about these numbers that
1871s	you see here okay uh specifically these
1874s	two numbers
1875s	this stuff you can kind of avoid uh you
1877s	don't have to worry about it
1878s	the shielded okay hang on a second
1884s	okay all right
1886s	you you punk i am trying
1890s	to show the good people what they want
1900s	tell you what kids these days no respect
1902s	all right
1904s	much better
1909s	all right
1910s	okay
1912s	so uh where was i oh yes so the shield
1915s	and armor
1917s	what this
1919s	means for you as a player so in short we
1923s	have gone through each of the ship
1925s	classes and said
1927s	they're not exactly where they need to
1929s	be some of the some of the ships don't
1931s	feel
1933s	satisfying with what they provide
1937s	most notably and i kind of hinted at
1939s	this at one point in time the sentinel
1941s	okay so we'll talk about each of the
1942s	ships and i'm hoping to fly the sentinel
1944s	if it's an option here uh because each
1946s	one of these
1947s	and i'm sorry wiki editors it's going to
1949s	be a lot of work going through each one
1950s	of these
1951s	but it's an important change
1954s	so shield and armor as a whole have been
1956s	revamped across every single
1959s	player class ship
1961s	player playership every single ship
1964s	all of them
1965s	that plus sign by the way means that
1967s	these can be modified further uh through
1970s	items and uh modifiers whereas whole i
1972s	mean it's straight up that is the bonus
1974s	that you get
1975s	all right so
1978s	spirit
1979s	the scout
1980s	class
1982s	each of the scout classes now have a 15
1986s	shield bonus and a 20 armor bonus all
1989s	right so they're a little bit meatier
1992s	than i believe they were before uh in
1994s	fact a lot of the light ships as a whole
1997s	were uh some of them actually took a
2001s	took an l
2003s	if i recall correctly some of them that
2005s	was like you had negatives
2007s	so you lost a bit
2010s	so uh yeah so
2012s	these changes are applicable to how the
2015s	ship is handled how the ship is meant to
2017s	be played and the play styles that we've
2018s	been seeing you guys pick up as well as
2020s	the desired play styles that we have for
2022s	it
2024s	so in short
2025s	the scout you know
2027s	obviously its focus is long range
2030s	we want it to be incredibly powerful at
2032s	that range but if you get one-shotted in
2035s	it
2036s	doesn't feel very good so we beefed up
2038s	the armor class a bit further
2042s	and made sure that this ship is far more
2044s	sustainable to take some hits allowing
2046s	you to fly back around and issue your
2048s	guerrilla tactics uh behind
2052s	asteroids and you know all that type of
2054s	stuff
2055s	without too much worry
2057s	and i'm not gonna go through every
2058s	single one of these ships here guys if
2060s	anybody's wondering is he really going
2061s	to do that no no i'm not but we'll get
2064s	there eventually when we update but now
2066s	you can see that the middle ships
2068s	the medium classes um
2070s	wow
2072s	this is a interceptor class ship
2075s	it's a tier 2 plus
2077s	and it has a 65 shield bonus
2081s	65 shield bonus armor bonus is 45
2085s	armor bonus is 45
2088s	a big thing that we were recognizing
2090s	through the medium ships is their
2091s	survivability was actually um
2095s	not ideal
2097s	in comparison to all of the ship classes
2100s	this isn't just like if you compare it
2101s	to the heaviest because the heavies are
2102s	supposed to last longer but
2105s	as a whole
2106s	all all of the mediumship classes they
2108s	needed a little bit more oomph to them
2110s	so you'll have you'll see that through
2112s	all of the mediums as we see uh through
2115s	here vanguard um
2118s	he's
2119s	fierce with his shields
2121s	with the overcharge bonus
2124s	we wanted to make sure that this paired
2126s	more accordingly to that bonus
2129s	while still being a light fighter
2134s	another vanguard another vanguard oh
2136s	come on
2137s	we got the gunship oh man you guys are
2139s	gonna love the gunship now
2141s	if you guys hate getting shot by outlaws
2145s	uh this is the ship for you honestly
2147s	because do you see that armor percentage
2149s	do you see how it's over 100
2156s	um
2157s	yeah so the gunship
2160s	is a tank we've talked about this this
2163s	is no surprise
2166s	but its armor has been
2168s	further increased
2171s	so much further increased
2174s	that when you are taking kinetic damage
2176s	so long as you have the right plating
2178s	involved so long as you are equipped
2180s	thoroughly you're gonna maximize your
2182s	opportunities here
2184s	you'll also notice that the hole itself
2186s	uh 1 317 i don't think we actually have
2189s	like a ton of bonuses hang on one second
2190s	i want to
2192s	do a quick uh
2193s	quick compare i need to go to my
2195s	inventory uh
2196s	yeah our structure isn't really super
2201s	but like when you're comparing um the
2203s	gunship obviously to the stinger you
2206s	know it has
2207s	almost a thousand more hit points
2209s	that's nothing to scoff at
2212s	that is nothing to scoff at remember
2213s	this these these things can be further
2215s	improved by items and
2217s	tweaking your attributes and whatnot
2220s	uh interceptor we got a bomber oh you
2223s	guys look at look at this the bomber
2225s	also has an increase to armor and
2227s	remember
2228s	it actually
2230s	repairs its hole when its whole takes
2233s	damage
2234s	right
2236s	but we ended up
2238s	providing this increase to the shield
2240s	and armor because a heavy ship we know
2242s	that you don't want to be taking that
2243s	damage
2244s	fully
2248s	still
2250s	yeah it's a
2252s	that's pretty healthy change
2254s	that's pretty pretty stinking healthy
2256s	change
2257s	uh and then that's all the ones we can
2258s	secretly show you we didn't get a
2259s	sentinel class i'm actually frustrated
2262s	all right hang on a second
2264s	hang on a second
2266s	hang on a second guys i think that right
2268s	now is a perfectly good time uh to
2270s	remind you all that you can follow us on
2272s	social media and uh all the all the
2275s	different ways
2276s	to uh you know be informed of when we
2279s	are going out and we're doing things
2281s	we're making announcements you know all
2284s	of those good
2285s	good facts you know we got the discord
2287s	where you can invoke many a conversation
2290s	uh with us directly also help answer
2293s	questions it's it's i mean it really is
2296s	such a delight uh truly uh to just
2300s	be engaged with you guys okay so check
2303s	this out this is the sentinel
2305s	and um
2307s	so we ended up increasing the shields by
2310s	a lot
2311s	buy a lot my body's in the way dang it
2314s	all right
2315s	80
2317s	bonus on this sentinel here this isn't
2320s	even the tier 2 plus like the other
2322s	ships we were looking at so this ship is
2324s	technically weaker
2325s	than the ships we were looking at so the
2327s	bonus isn't as strong as those other
2330s	ships we were looking at
2333s	but we felt that the
2335s	sentinel in particular needed to get a
2338s	pretty substantial boon to how it
2341s	operates
2344s	because honestly like if i'm being
2345s	completely honest this is not a popular
2348s	ship
2349s	what
2351s	it's not a popular ship you guys aren't
2352s	flying it and it makes me sad
2355s	but maybe you'll start flying it when
2357s	the shields
2358s	are 80 percent
2360s	increased
2362s	when compared to its expertise that
2364s	straight up reduces the shield
2367s	damage so if you are maximizing your
2370s	expertise with this insane shield bonus
2373s	that it provides
2373s	[Music]
2375s	you are
2376s	you're never gonna even take armor
2377s	damage
2378s	you're just gonna
2380s	keep your shields up which as veterans
2383s	among you probably know is how you play
2385s	everspace one sentinel
2388s	so it's this is a more authentic version
2391s	of the sentinel that you're seeing
2393s	through these balancing changes oh my
2395s	gosh
2397s	why fly a sentinel on interceptor
2399s	success see the stack what i'm talking
2400s	about look at you guys oh my gosh but no
2403s	the sentinel like if you play your cards
2405s	right in the sentinel which we are going
2406s	to be attempting to do
2408s	um
2409s	you should never run out of shields
2411s	so we need to recharge our shields let's
2413s	see uh
2414s	reactive armor would be good
2417s	yep
2418s	let's see
2421s	man excessive force could be insanely
2423s	powerful but i'm just i'm concerned that
2426s	we're not gonna have our shield fully
2427s	charged at all times
2429s	but this would be the ship to do this on
2431s	i feel like
2433s	wait we're not docked oh goodness
2437s	whoops all right
2440s	let's let's do that again
2442s	we're going to go over to excessive
2444s	force
2445s	ah
2447s	not not ulterior motive unyielding
2449s	assault i instantly press 50 armor and
2451s	removes all the past that's probably
2453s	what we want
2455s	it's probably what we want
2458s	yeah we're gonna keep that one
2461s	justin well now we're not we're gonna go
2463s	to critical faculty
2465s	so critical hits can restore alt energy
2469s	a critical hit chance these figures as
2472s	well up here provided by your attributes
2474s	have also received a balancing pass
2476s	though
2477s	do keep in mind that this isn't done
2479s	because there's going to be more
2481s	balancing passes at the higher levels
2483s	and in game states and stuff like that
2485s	but we are very satisfied as as of this
2488s	point with the spring update so it's
2490s	very likely that what i'm showing you
2491s	right now will also be in the spring
2493s	update when we end up launching it
2496s	uh but yeah critical hit chances 30 and
2499s	critical hit damage is basically two
2500s	times so that feels pretty good i think
2503s	that should generate
2504s	uh a decent amount of
2508s	one out of every 10 shots that should
2509s	provide an alt
2512s	that's good
2514s	what changed with the striker gosh dang
2516s	it i can't i can't go through every ship
2518s	at the moment well maybe we'll get to
2520s	another place and we'll buy um we'll buy
2522s	a striker but i want to get back into
2523s	combat
2524s	i'm gonna get back into combat i've been
2526s	talking a lot
2528s	i know there's a lot to talk about but
2530s	still
2531s	let's do this we're gonna show more of
2534s	umbra and penumbra for those sneaking in
2536s	late
2542s	not quite sure uh which ships got extra
2545s	stuffs awesome nerfed or buffed buffed
2547s	no no bearded frog basically what we've
2550s	done is we've gone through and we
2551s	crunched the numbers and said ah these
2553s	numbers suck we're fixing it and it's
2555s	been primarily a buff across like every
2558s	single ship
2559s	every single ship
2564s	okay now remember we are playing on hard
2566s	mode
2568s	very hard mode
2574s	oh
2575s	that was almost really bad
2589s	okay are they out there out okay
2594s	ah
2595s	okay so another change that we recently
2597s	had is actually with the uh
2600s	the drone carriers and you guys are
2603s	going to uh
2605s	you guys may love slash hate this but
2608s	drone characters
2609s	characters drone carriers are now
2611s	actually challenging for two reasons one
2615s	we stuck more turrets on them and two
2618s	they actually generate combat drones now
2628s	that may or may not have been a bug i'm
2630s	not sure but that's what's
2633s	happened so if we want to focus on all
2636s	of these enemies we certainly can but
2638s	we're going to slowly see combat drones
2641s	come fight us oh no our shields are
2643s	taking a lot of damage
2644s	uh oh uh oh we don't want that
2655s	oh god we do want that
2666s	oh yes our shields are maxed out
2669s	as we have been making sure our shields
2671s	instantly recharge as soon as we kill an
2674s	opponent which is exactly how you want
2676s	your sentinel to be played pairs nicely
2678s	with its alt now
2695s	oh much better much better oh my gosh
2699s	i might actually start flying the
2700s	sentinel now
2709s	all right
2750s	there we go all right
2759s	which catalyst do we get
2764s	wow we gotta we got a ton of stuff all
2767s	right
2771s	too much stuff in fact all right
2778s	way too much stuff
2781s	we'll do this for now
2793s	two too many items guys too many
2796s	and it's the best kind of problem to
2798s	have
2799s	so for now i'm just gonna basically
2801s	clear out my inventory with uh without
2803s	too much um
2805s	without too much care because i just
2807s	want to keep flying around for you guys
2809s	[Music]
2815s	i'm not gonna worry about that
2819s	nope i like my resources range
2822s	cool
2825s	and i think that this is a bug
2827s	it says sensor but it says high velocity
2829s	blaster yay unknown pickup
2831s	still plaguing the game
2833s	well let me tell you what
2836s	it is what it is
2840s	all right
2845s	so let's um we've been doing a number of
2847s	these let's uh go spelunking for madcaps
2850s	we haven't done a side mission in a
2852s	while and we'll also answer some
2854s	questions
2863s	[Music]
2872s	oh yeah
2876s	is the voice acting fully laid out now
2878s	uh that's an interesting question
2882s	i'm trying to understand what you mean
2883s	by fully laid out if you're meaning like
2885s	do we have all of the missions and all
2887s	of the dialogue a hundred percent
2889s	completed the answer is no
2892s	if you are talking about do we have all
2894s	of the english and german vocals
2897s	recorded the answer is no
2899s	if you're talking about
2901s	uh do we have all of the actors and
2902s	actresses uh figured out and it's just a
2906s	matter of coordinating once we have the
2908s	dialogue and everything uh fleshed out
2910s	yes
2912s	so we are getting there we're getting
2914s	close
2915s	we're getting close
2916s	um
2917s	but yeah
2919s	we are not at a hundred percent though
2922s	let's see difficulty uh level setting is
2924s	going to affect the loot quality we
2925s	really wouldn't like them to
2928s	uh k9 i think is your username
2932s	uh we would we would not like the
2934s	difficulty level settings to affect the
2935s	loot quality no um but if you are
2938s	fighting more enemies which it's very
2940s	likely going to be a thing where a
2941s	higher difficulty you're going to run
2943s	into more encounters right um you're
2946s	going to have more odds at obtaining
2948s	that equipment that you're looking for
2951s	there are also in-game moments that give
2953s	player agency
2955s	so as you guys know
2958s	or maybe you don't know let's talk about
2960s	this very briefly um each one of these
2963s	sectors actually has a unique level
2965s	associated with it so when you go to a
2969s	system
2970s	you're going to have the system level
2973s	compared to your player level in most
2975s	cases
2977s	that's going to make the enemies either
2979s	easier or harder for you depending on
2981s	that system's level in addition to that
2984s	you also have jobs that have specific
2986s	levels that don't care about the
2988s	system's level at all so you could go to
2989s	ceto take on a level 25 job and you're
2992s	going to be challenged by level 25
2994s	enemies in a level 25 situation
2997s	and then you also have high risk areas
3000s	which will always for the sake of the
3001s	high risk area be more challenging than
3004s	currently where you're at as well
3006s	so there's a lot of way there are a lot
3008s	of ways
3010s	to bend the game's formula to your
3013s	advantage if you're looking for those
3014s	opportunities and there's also a lot of
3017s	ways to have a more casual laid-back
3019s	experience through the game's internal
3022s	settings as well it really just comes
3023s	down to how you're approaching that and
3025s	what you want to do
3028s	because we're not forcing you to take a
3029s	level 25 mission
3031s	a job you know um you choose that you
3034s	could also take a level 15
3036s	job if you wanted to rewards are going
3038s	to reflect that for the challenge but
3040s	you can choose that
3048s	yeah no worries no worries
3052s	ah let's see
3058s	i hope this question has been asked too
3059s	often but when's the full release
3061s	it's totally fine yeah i mean it is a
3063s	freak question and that's fine so for
3065s	everybody out there who's wondering the
3066s	full release for this game is actually
3068s	about a year out from now it's going to
3070s	be the first
3071s	quarter of 2023 so we're about a year
3074s	out we are this is our development home
3076s	stretch honestly so this spring update
3079s	that's coming out very soon
3081s	is covering a lot of overhauling of
3084s	back-end systems um everything from
3086s	crafting to ship balance to
3089s	itemization
3091s	to goodness gravy devices
3095s	there's so much there's so much in
3096s	regards to the systems that we're
3098s	overhauling and we're not 100 done with
3101s	that yet there's still more that we're
3102s	still going to be touching on like jobs
3104s	as i was mentioning our reputation
3106s	system but but that aside that will come
3108s	don't worry um it's been a lot of back
3112s	end support to make your experience so
3114s	much more fluid that when we start
3117s	adding that rich deep content
3119s	it's gonna feel
3121s	it's gonna it's gonna be great it's
3122s	gonna be like
3124s	um
3125s	it's gonna be it's gonna be i don't know
3127s	how to compare that it's great
3129s	it's just great
3131s	okay
3134s	i like roguelikes a lot i just looked
3136s	over and casually saw uh you're gonna
3138s	like the endgame state of everspace too
3140s	because we will be working on
3142s	a um
3144s	an in-game
3146s	uh
3147s	run
3147s	effectively it's called an ancient rift
3150s	where you'll be able to uh basically
3152s	spawn in a mission chain that throws you
3156s	through random locations
3158s	with random challenges and you will be
3160s	rewarded based on how far you get and
3162s	what you do through that run uh before
3165s	it eats you back out and gives you those
3167s	rewards
3169s	that is an in-game element we are adding
3172s	that is also coming this fall by the way
3175s	that is on our roadmap you can see our
3177s	roadmap from uh nightbot actually you
3179s	can click on the roadmap uh so um you
3182s	know i'm not making this up it is listed
3183s	out there for the fall that's when we're
3185s	planning on uh dropping in that endgame
3188s	state for you to do constant runs
3190s	now the story is not going to be
3192s	completed at that point in time so
3194s	you're just going to be playing around
3195s	with the game's systems because it's
3197s	early access and we need to balance the
3199s	story components of everspace 2 will not
3202s	be finalized until the 1.0 release next
3205s	year
3208s	excellent
3213s	time difference i nearly missed an hour
3214s	oh man i'm so sorry to hear that mac mac
3217s	now if you are in uh if you are so the
3220s	american time zone changes in comparison
3224s	to germany
3226s	in particular has been it changed uh
3229s	like this last stream and this stream
3231s	right
3232s	next stream if you find folks are from
3235s	germany or in that surrounding time zone
3237s	area
3238s	next week we'll be back on the
3240s	normal schedule
3242s	because i know for a fact that germany's
3244s	daylight savings time occurs on the 27th
3248s	so next week the stream is going to
3250s	revert back for those european viewers
3253s	of ours the streams are going to revert
3254s	back to that standard time
3257s	next week
3258s	okay
3264s	gonna do one more quick check of
3266s	questions
3267s	and then we will dive straight back in
3270s	and talk about more stuffs
3273s	thanks for the info
3277s	um
3281s	uh thank you
3283s	uh fedgayjen
3288s	on youtube
3289s	usernames they're elusive to me uh but
3292s	yeah no absolutely uh
3295s	for sure for sure
3298s	do we get more consumables in the spring
3299s	update no probably not
3302s	probably probably know is the answer to
3304s	that uh but there's room for it to grow
3306s	that's for sure there's certainly room
3309s	for it to grow
3312s	very close to where we're at i'm going
3314s	to do like maybe one more question i see
3316s	dashra asking an
3318s	age-old question
3321s	will there be a new game plus or
3322s	prestigious be a thing for the main game
3324s	i we've seen recommendations for
3326s	prestiging if you guys aren't familiar
3328s	with that um i think it's really easy to
3330s	talk about a lot of other looter shooter
3333s	or just loot centric games where after
3336s	you reach the max level you can keep
3338s	accruing levels on top of that um
3341s	so without opening a massive can of
3344s	worms just note that a big part of the
3346s	end game for us is just refining your
3349s	loot it's not grinding out added levels
3351s	over added levels over added levels that
3354s	just
3355s	naturally make you better without you
3357s	having to try
3358s	that's not really a core design
3360s	philosophy we have we want there to be a
3363s	challenge based on your skills not
3365s	because of some stats hiding behind the
3367s	screen
3368s	so
3370s	that being said we don't have a 100
3373s	confirmation as to
3375s	uh what we'll end up doing with the
3377s	in-game leveling if it's going to have
3379s	prestigious but i can assure you i can
3382s	assure you that regarding a new game
3383s	plus that's that's off the table that's
3386s	off the table i know somebody out there
3388s	just like died inside what how could you
3390s	do this
3391s	the story is meant to be driven from a
3393s	level one status all the way up to that
3396s	maximum level which we have planned for
3398s	level 30 at this time where then you can
3400s	branch off and kind of go do your own
3402s	thing this is also very traditional in a
3404s	lot of action rpg oriented games um
3408s	so
3409s	so yeah so once you get to that in-game
3411s	state then you can just keep using that
3413s	save and do whatever you want but it
3415s	doesn't make a lot of sense for us and
3417s	what we've designed for the experience
3419s	to just start at level 30 and
3422s	effectively just power through
3424s	everything the game has to offer with so
3427s	much as to wincing
3428s	um to just get back into an in-game
3431s	state again
3433s	it's just
3434s	the direction we are taking it
3436s	all right
3438s	let's
3439s	go spelunking from mad cats
3451s	i know more people are going to probably
3453s	uh talk about like a new game plus
3454s	situation thing and be like oh man that
3456s	really sucks because you could do so
3458s	much with it yes technically you could
3460s	do so much with that but also keep in
3462s	mind
3463s	that you can keep playing a save game
3465s	after you've completed the mission in
3466s	fact that's how we are designing
3469s	everspace 2's campaign so that when you
3471s	finish it the game isn't just done it
3474s	then opens up even more for more things
3477s	for you to do to further optimize the
3479s	main focus of the game which is looting
3483s	and shooting
3484s	item optimization
3486s	or rather itemization
3488s	is a core pillar as to what makes
3491s	everspace 2 tick
3497s	all right
3509s	[Music]
3511s	wonderful all right so now we need to go
3513s	find these caves defeat all the outlaws
3517s	i think i took care of one of them last
3519s	time before zipping back out
3522s	here we go
3530s	and we'll also unlock some stuff
3533s	i crack and open some containers
3537s	[Music]
3541s	oh
3543s	i don't think we balance the levels for
3545s	the turrets in the game yet
3547s	um
3547s	[Music]
3549s	is hans kristen no hans christian's not
3551s	here oh gosh dang it
3553s	i'm just gonna write this down hang on a
3554s	second very very minor uh bug fix that
3557s	we're probably gonna have to make
3558s	[Music]
3561s	don't think we addressed this a lot yet
3564s	so that's just a fun silly little thing
3566s	that you guys get to experience in these
3568s	dev live streams where we're showing you
3570s	the latest and greatest builds
3581s	all right
3584s	let's get back in here
3588s	who needs turrets
3597s	let me show you what i'm talking about
3599s	on this front because i believe
3602s	yeah look
3603s	level five turret that's a that's a
3605s	little under level uh when we're
3607s	comparing this sato orbits
3611s	i guess spelunky for no okay this makes
3613s	sense never mind
3615s	all right i stand corrected spelunking
3616s	for mad caps is a
3619s	secondary mission chain that you get
3620s	around level eight so you can see right
3622s	here it says eight that's the that's the
3625s	secondary level
3626s	of this mission chain so it's taking
3629s	that level and then it's looking at our
3631s	player level and it's trying to reach
3633s	like an end point in between
3635s	[Music]
3636s	oh say okay so five still wrong actually
3638s	no i
3639s	five is still wrong but the drones
3641s	the drones that i was fighting they were
3643s	level 15 so they found their way to the
3645s	middle ground
3651s	just a couple of kinks in the in the mix
3653s	you know
3655s	we had the same job once
3658s	unfortunately money doesn't buy you
3660s	respect
3661s	at least not the pathetic sums they used
3664s	to give us
3666s	let's see if i can get this to where it
3667s	needs to
3669s	where go
3670s	it need to go
3672s	oh i'm flying by lots of things i want
3674s	to go back and collect them
3677s	oh shoot i think i passed it
3684s	no
3687s	okay well i'm not gonna worry about that
3688s	for now all right i'm gonna just keep
3689s	getting containers and loot
3692s	and also let's talk about these
3694s	resources because we did update that
3696s	sound once again as i told you was
3698s	probably going to happen
3700s	[Music]
3703s	oh you saw hans question on youtube i
3705s	sneaked it in here all right
3707s	christian the turret levels
3709s	which you already saw
3710s	so you know all right so um with mining
3714s	resources we
3716s	have this has been like a big part of
3717s	overhauls a lot of you guys know what
3718s	i'm talking about the sound when you
3720s	mind everything out let's listen
3725s	it's been further tweaked
3730s	and also aren't flat cannons great for
3732s	mining
3736s	so some of you might be listening to
3738s	that going oh that sounds exactly like
3739s	it did last week i can assure you
3740s	there's actually a tweak to it uh
3742s	basically the amount
3744s	that it was coming through your ears
3746s	the decibels has been reduced
3751s	so it sounds uh less obnoxious
3755s	that's the best life than that
3762s	out
3763s	man our shields
3766s	let's just take a moment to appreciate
3769s	that we just took a sniper shot
3772s	to our sentinel shields
3775s	it's a level 20 so it's two levels below
3777s	us but i digress
3779s	a sniper shot tons of damage from the
3782s	opponent
3783s	and it barely got to the halfway point
3787s	of our sentinel shields
3792s	that shows you the power of this
3794s	rebalancing we've done since the
3796s	sentinel is all about those shields
3799s	if any ship out there
3801s	should tank
3803s	a shot like that it's the sentinel and
3805s	it does
3809s	uh so long as you don't go flying
3811s	through a minefield afterwards
3813s	all right
3822s	excellent
3823s	all right we're gonna grab a couple more
3824s	containers
3828s	our shields are basically back up oh
3831s	yeah
3832s	level five turret no problem
3840s	and then we're going to be finding some
3841s	more uh mad caps i'm sure
3852s	oh okay
3854s	cave
3857s	not what i thought it was okay
3860s	[Music]
3867s	you are working for people who have
3868s	nothing but contempt for you
3870s	and you are just plain thugs
3878s	making sure i'm not missing any
3879s	questions uh how is flak mining in
3882s	everspace 2 now oh my gosh
3885s	i mean it's convenient right
3887s	um so let's talk about that for a brief
3888s	second for individuals who first time
3891s	seeing that they're like wow the flock
3892s	is completely overpowered when it comes
3894s	to mining why would i use anything else
3895s	well there's two three reasons why you
3898s	might want to use something else
3900s	because the flack is the most
3902s	inefficient
3904s	of the mining weapons
3907s	so while it is the fastest
3909s	it's not necessarily going to give you
3911s	the highest yield of resources
3914s	it's not going to it's not necessarily
3915s	going to give you the greatest quality
3918s	of resources but if you look at
3919s	something like the beam laser there are
3922s	modifiers on that that can make it so
3925s	much better to mine with absolutely so
3928s	much better but it does take a little
3929s	bit more time to do so since you have to
3931s	shoot each individual part
3934s	of the mining
3936s	bits the resources bits
3938s	so um
3939s	for those of you who don't want to take
3941s	any time with mining flax going to be
3943s	your ideal weapon or a missile you know
3945s	however you want to do it but if you
3947s	want to get that quality
3949s	as opposed to just speed
3952s	there are alternate means it's almost
3954s	like we did that intentionally for you
3957s	to decide how you went to mine
3962s	well then
3963s	let's end this
3977s	there are no more signatures nearby this
3980s	was the last one yay all right let's
3982s	head back to prescott
3991s	is this where we're supposed to oh no
3992s	this is the
3994s	this one has the buttons to shoot i
3995s	think
3997s	cooling units nice yes but
4021s	excellent i just want to i just want to
4023s	blow everything up it feels nice
4026s	let's see mostly metal credits i'll take
4028s	it
4030s	[Music]
4035s	let's do a little bit more mining with
4037s	the flat cannon
4038s	just because it's fast for now
4042s	beautiful wow we got three flawless
4044s	atheium crystal from that wow
4047s	screw the more quality side mining just
4050s	get lucky i mean that's how you do it
4062s	we'll do a little bit more mining here
4064s	uh how efficient this is i do like it
4067s	i want that titanium
4070s	i'll also just very briefly cover the um
4075s	the map information when it comes to
4077s	resources as well
4080s	for anybody
4081s	for anybody who's missed it
4084s	so on all of your locations now um once
4086s	you get the specific perk with uh kala
4091s	right here
4093s	right there reveals how many and what
4095s	type of secrets are still to be found
4096s	for each location that does in fact
4098s	include the resource yield
4101s	so down below you can see
4103s	resource deposits titanium and aethium
4105s	crystal they're both
4107s	high
4108s	high means
4109s	they're going to find lots of it
4111s	so if you are in a pension you're
4113s	looking to craft something specifically
4115s	or
4116s	you know what have you
4118s	and you're looking for titanium and
4120s	atheium crystal there are specific
4122s	regions of space that offer that you
4124s	just mouse over where your map uh where
4127s	you've collected stuff on your map and
4129s	it will show you how much you can
4130s	actually get
4134s	now i'm kind of i'm kind of in a state
4136s	right now where i'm not really caring
4137s	about that stuff since i'm like more
4139s	showing you all the added things in the
4141s	game um so if you're wondering why i
4144s	haven't really gone that route that's
4145s	why because i can just cheat so i can
4148s	show you what's going on
4150s	but i can assure you in my new game that
4152s	i started recently i've been very much
4155s	enjoying these quality of life features
4157s	improvements
4160s	much enjoying them
4164s	crafting uh feels good to help me stay
4166s	current with the gameplay experience
4169s	and it also helps me uh
4172s	get more out of it the more i put into
4173s	it
4181s	all right let's go change ships again
4182s	let's uh
4185s	oh we need to go back to prescott anyway
4186s	okay so let's go back prescott turn in
4188s	this mission and then we will
4190s	swap to a different ship
4201s	mind mining oh gosh
4207s	sustained is a new prefix yes
4209s	sustain is a new prefix um
4215s	sustained uh increases the energy
4217s	capacity
4218s	[Music]
4221s	sustained increases energy capacity and
4224s	this is actually a rather important
4226s	prefix because energy management has
4229s	changed
4231s	energy management has changed
4236s	so in the current build that's available
4240s	you can fire for days
4242s	i mean you almost don't even have to
4245s	worry about energy capacity or
4247s	consumption honestly
4249s	because there's just there's so much
4256s	but that too received a balancing pass
4265s	that was too close
4282s	man we're gonna have all the ship colors
4284s	by the time by the time we are done with
4286s	this stream oh my gosh all right let's
4288s	turn this mission in
4292s	the return of the byron podhorn i got
4295s	report that you cleaned out the caves
4297s	look it's not easy to smell nice if
4299s	you're fighting for your life all day
4300s	you know i'm just messing with you if
4303s	you can't take it you don't have to work
4304s	for us
4306s	don't worry i probably won't thanks for
4308s	the creds and good riddance
4312s	weird frog so uh you mentioned before
4315s	the stack calculations are changing in
4318s	terms of how much precision affects crit
4319s	and so on did you mean nerfed or buffed
4321s	like less effect from stats or more so
4324s	one of the general rules of thumb that
4325s	we were seeing across the board is that
4328s	precision actually wasn't working
4332s	so we have changed it to where uh it's
4334s	working
4336s	that's uh that's the general
4339s	so the stats might also look different
4341s	but they're now working as intended as
4343s	opposed to before where they actually
4345s	weren't
4346s	[Music]
4347s	uh but as a
4349s	also as kind of like the the standard
4351s	process that we have at rockfish we
4353s	don't really want to
4355s	remove stuff that we add it doesn't feel
4359s	good
4360s	if uh perfect world is where we just add
4363s	we just increase right um now
4367s	obviously through balancing that's not
4368s	always possible sometimes things do need
4371s	to be taken back a little bit uh here
4373s	and there just for some fine tuning and
4376s	that's more of what you're gonna see so
4377s	you asking the question in terms of like
4379s	being nerfed or buffed it doesn't really
4381s	feel good if i say oh yeah in terms of
4384s	being nerved
4385s	but i think that's also the wrong
4387s	context
4388s	it's far more intricate of a process to
4390s	balance as opposed to just saying oh
4392s	it's been buffed oh it's been nerfed
4394s	like across the board in general you
4397s	could say we've buffed the game but it
4400s	also looks different depending on what
4402s	type of player you are and how you've
4404s	been utilizing your equipment how you've
4406s	been flying the class ship that you've
4408s	currently been flying etc etc so long
4411s	story short
4412s	in general the rebalancing has made
4415s	things much more fair for your use of
4418s	every single ship independently from one
4419s	another as well as the item selection
4422s	that you've been going for as well as
4424s	the attributes you've been putting your
4426s	hard-earned mainframe expansions into
4434s	so that's that's why i went on that
4435s	little ramble there just want to make
4437s	sure it's just it's just not as simple
4438s	as saying not nerfed or buffed um it's
4441s	you got a good question there and i want
4443s	to make sure that it's super clear
4445s	why we're going through and addressing
4446s	elements the way we are
4448s	cool
4451s	all right
4454s	do we have prefix that increases mining
4456s	yield i don't believe we have a prefix
4459s	that does med bad but i know for a fact
4462s	we have item modifiers but they can only
4464s	generate on certain weapons
4466s	for example the flak does not get mining
4470s	modifiers
4471s	does not
4472s	[Music]
4473s	will not
4476s	but the beam laser absolutely does
4488s	striker and vindicator stat changes
4490s	people asking for all right yeah let's
4491s	go let's go see if we can find a striker
4493s	and a vindicator in the ship
4494s	uh ship
4500s	the freelancer hanger specifically
4511s	all right so we have a gunship we have a
4512s	vanguard we have a vindicator all right
4514s	here we go so vindicator
4516s	uh this thing
4519s	i think we actually might fly the
4521s	vindicator next actually uh for a number
4522s	of reasons but one very simple reason is
4524s	because we updated the
4526s	way that the uh scrap looks whenever
4528s	you're picking it up
4529s	for um
4531s	for drones so let's just grab a
4532s	vindicator i should have checked what um
4536s	i should have looked through all of the
4537s	ships before making that purchase
4538s	whatever i don't care i did it
4541s	if you're being an authentic intelligent
4543s	player you would go through and see all
4545s	of your options oh we also do have a
4546s	striker so we'll talk about that as well
4551s	man it's so nice that i can now do this
4553s	with
4554s	no problems and what's being shown on
4556s	the screen that feels really good for me
4558s	i'm gonna just
4560s	state that
4561s	it's a great moment to be in so let's
4563s	talk about the striker first because
4565s	then we're gonna fly the vindicator
4567s	so striker shield increase
4570s	nice 50 bonus
4572s	for the tier two plus i do want to put
4575s	emphasis on that everything that i've
4577s	shown you in regards to balance has been
4579s	on the two plus except for the sentinel
4581s	in which case it was only a tier two
4584s	so we're actually flying a partially
4586s	weaker sentinel in comparison to these
4588s	other ships that we're doing so
4590s	um
4591s	the striker
4592s	50 shields now 35
4595s	armor
4597s	50 shields now 35 armor
4604s	and i mean as a combat vessel that's
4605s	always in your face
4608s	i mean the special is literally called
4610s	close combat
4612s	it needs to be able to sustain that
4614s	without its hole just melting
4616s	instantaneously
4621s	excellent all right so now let's go
4622s	ahead and talk about the vindicator
4625s	we have a 30 shield bonus and a 60 armor
4629s	bonus i know my face is kind of in the
4630s	way just deal with it right now
4632s	um 30 shield bonus 60 armor bonus again
4635s	this is tier 2 plus
4639s	but as you can see across the board all
4641s	the ships effectively have gotten
4644s	stronger and more um the variation
4648s	between ships has also increased this is
4651s	to make the classes stand out a bit
4653s	further and how you can capitalize on
4656s	their specials and on their bonuses
4662s	will we get a charged laser at some
4664s	point oh there is a charged laser in the
4666s	game
4667s	uh you will have access to it in the
4669s	spring update i believe it's called the
4670s	decimator
4672s	is that right
4673s	it's either the decimator or the
4674s	disintegrator it's one of those two
4678s	but yeah there is a really cool beam
4679s	laser on that front and it can also get
4682s	mining
4683s	bonuses to it
4690s	um okay so question regarding
4693s	uh catalysts
4696s	uh so if you add a non-prefix base
4698s	callus to your blaster does it replace
4700s	the catalyst prefix is the behavior the
4702s	same for a naturally prefixed weapon
4708s	i'll make sure i'm understanding this
4710s	completely
4713s	you add a non-prefix based catalyst to
4716s	your blaster like something that
4717s	increases my kinetic damage as an
4719s	example does it replace the catalyst
4721s	prefix um
4723s	i don't believe it would replace the
4726s	prefix i believe it would add
4728s	a new catalyst being applied to it so
4730s	you would i'm pretty sure
4733s	and please correct me if i'm wrong
4734s	anybody on on
4736s	development
4737s	i'm pretty sure
4739s	you're it's possible for you to apply
4741s	more than one catalyst on a weapon
4743s	i'm pretty sure but it does cost you you
4746s	still have to craft the catalyst you
4747s	still have to apply the catalyst
4749s	you still have to go that route it's
4752s	like you have to invest in the item to
4754s	do so
4757s	but i'm pretty sure that's how it ends
4759s	up working
4761s	i'm sure somebody out there is like
4762s	we'll test it yeah i might i might end
4764s	up testing it uh but for the sake of
4767s	time and wanting to fly the van
4769s	vindicator now um we're just gonna keep
4771s	diving into this i'm gonna answer like
4772s	maybe two more questions and then we're
4773s	gonna fly this bad boy can you fly into
4777s	tubes underneath freelancer hanger there
4779s	were some collision issues there can you
4781s	check if it was fixed oh i'm not gonna
4783s	do bug testing right now not not
4784s	intentional bug testing right now med
4787s	bed um but if you haven't reported that
4789s	i definitely encourage you to go to the
4791s	steam forums and apply it also i want to
4795s	change my colors
4797s	i need to change my colors for this ship
4798s	hang on
4801s	uh
4802s	it's going to be a quick change
4805s	uh
4808s	i know somebody's out there wanting me
4809s	to do something specific
4811s	sorry i'm doing this
4813s	[Music]
4817s	there we go that's better
4820s	all right
4822s	black oh we're gonna make it oh yeah
4824s	oh yeah that's much better
4826s	[Music]
4828s	okay and then some emissive lights
4834s	and then the decal we're just gonna
4836s	remove
4837s	just gonna remove that
4840s	okay i like that
4845s	i've been choosing a lot of green lately
4847s	but uh
4849s	i just want to dive in we did we didn't
4850s	get a sixth drone on this particular
4852s	ship
4854s	but oh well
4858s	[Music]
4862s	uh we do need to check and make sure
4864s	we've got everything we need before we
4866s	get super crazy i'm actually going to
4869s	cycle this out for web missiles i found
4871s	web missiles are quite a delight for the
4873s	vindicator because your drones uh
4876s	no longer come into too much fire
4880s	utilize that
4881s	[Music]
4888s	i just like the way this almost looks
4889s	like a neon lights
4892s	can't wait for more emissives to get
4894s	added
4895s	with the higher tier wings and whatnot
4898s	it's gonna be fun
4898s	[Music]
4901s	every space 2 brought to you by monster
4903s	energy drinks oh great thanks thanks for
4905s	that
4907s	i'm dang you're convinced that no matter
4908s	what assortment what no matter what
4911s	color combination you choose it's going
4913s	to look like something that exists
4919s	oh wow
4927s	all right so we are going to need to be
4928s	a little bit more careful in this ship
4930s	since you know our focal point
4932s	isn't necessarily
4934s	our damage output we need to let our
4936s	drones do their work
4941s	you get out of here
4943s	so i can shoot you and blow you up from
4944s	afar because i do not want you hurting
4946s	my drugs good riddance all right
4959s	another armor drone somewhere where's it
4961s	at
4970s	oh
5011s	so this is the new indicator for
5013s	wreckage
5018s	a nice plus up that shows you exactly
5020s	what it's going to do
5024s	oh which apparently we can't collect
5026s	that one even though we don't have our
5027s	drones maxed out
5038s	it's always fun finding bugs right
5039s	during the live streams but uh just goes
5041s	to show just like how
5043s	like
5044s	where we're at with this stuff like i'm
5046s	showing you like quite literally what
5048s	we've been working on
5051s	the update i'm showing you today in fact
5053s	was updated right before the stream
5057s	so this is effectively the smoke test
5064s	that's fun
5070s	all right
5071s	so let's go see if uh if this wreckage
5074s	is just not letting us take it and we
5076s	need to fix that asap or what's going on
5081s	[Music]
5083s	here but it does appear wait a second
5086s	where the records go oh
5087s	yeah it's not showing up like i can't
5089s	collect it so that's interesting
5093s	yeah that's definitely a bug
5096s	definitely a bug hopefully that'll be
5099s	ironed out uh fairly soon
5101s	definitely should be able to max out
5103s	your drones all right
5116s	just writing down some more notes you
5117s	know
5120s	are depth streams fun oh my goodness
5124s	what a delight one more high risk area
5127s	october's so far away hang on a second
5130s	who revealed our release date for the
5131s	spring update
5132s	[Music]
5140s	all right let's answer a couple more
5141s	questions with some sick music
5147s	oh i also missed a very important
5149s	message from hans christian who is one
5151s	of the leading developers of everspace 2
5153s	by the way he says it's only one
5155s	catalyst at a time right now applying a
5158s	new catalyst will overwrite the old one
5160s	but you can add a non-prefix catalyst to
5162s	equipment with a prefix prefix will
5165s	remain
5166s	so only what the catalyst provides will
5169s	be replaced by another catalyst one
5171s	callus at a time thank you for that
5173s	clarity hans christian
5175s	what a rockstar
5177s	[Music]
5184s	currently there are only two non-prefix
5185s	catalysts available a lot more to come i
5187s	can actually show you both of them
5188s	they're very very very genetic
5191s	genetic generic i warn you they are
5193s	kinetic damage increase and kinetic
5196s	damage increase
5199s	i warned you i warned you
5203s	but yeah there's a lot more um catalysts
5206s	in the work
5207s	in the work in the works
5215s	gamil says what a variety oh my gosh
5219s	wow you know what
5221s	you know what i'm just gonna talk to
5223s	team right now you guys don't deserve
5224s	this update i'm just gonna take it all
5226s	back
5227s	this type of attitude
5231s	goodness gravy all right
5237s	there's another one says hans christian
5238s	okay i missed one so there's something
5239s	else but i'm not gonna say what it is
5242s	you'll have to figure it out when when
5243s	we drop the update
5245s	in three and a half years
5247s	take that
5249s	[Music]
5256s	all right silliness aside
5259s	silliness aside you guys have more
5260s	questions about uh
5263s	elements and details and all that stuff
5268s	whoa whoa whoa that guy guys goodness
5270s	gravy i'm just i'm messing around it's
5273s	let's bring it back in it's all good
5276s	i'm just messing around we love you guys
5280s	we're not gonna withhold stuff just
5282s	because
5283s	you said something rude during a live
5285s	stream uh here's an example by the way
5287s	of a laser having a 32 increased chance
5291s	to mine an additional resource with
5293s	every resource mind so 32 chance so i
5297s	think as of right now i think each
5299s	resource node generates about nine
5303s	resources i think that's right it's
5306s	close to nine so with a 32 increase of
5311s	chance with each one of those for
5313s	further uh collection that means you
5315s	would go up to approximately 12 right
5318s	because that's how math works
5320s	and other there are more than one
5322s	modifiers that can affect mining that
5325s	can generate on weapons
5327s	okay
5328s	there's more than one
5344s	i think we're gonna swap this
5347s	i think i want more shields
5349s	um
5351s	shield output
5354s	because i'm constantly swapping my
5355s	weapons
5357s	my boost might suffer a little bit for
5358s	it but yeah
5359s	we'll see what happens when we do this
5361s	all right
5363s	oops uh and then we're gonna just scrap
5366s	the rest again i am i am very much
5369s	uh doing the
5371s	going super fast when i do this method
5374s	instead of actually taking my time
5376s	which you guys should absolutely do
5385s	there are lots of drones here my
5387s	goodness
5392s	and all my drones are dead oh gosh
5396s	come back to me
5397s	come back to me
5401s	oh i should also mention holy crap
5404s	i forgot to mention this
5407s	wow this is actually important for the
5409s	for vindicator fans out there you may
5411s	have just noticed that when i selected
5413s	the wreckage i wasn't right up next to
5415s	it
5416s	this was a request from the community
5418s	this is an important change actually so
5420s	the range at which you can reanimate
5423s	um does it say does it specifically say
5426s	there it is it's been added to your
5427s	expertise right here look at that look
5429s	at that
5430s	wreck interaction
5432s	range
5434s	is now affected by your expertise so the
5436s	more expertise you have the longer range
5437s	you can freaking activate your drones
5439s	whoa
5440s	praise and hallelujah holly lula
5442s	hallelujah
5446s	so much better
5452s	all right let's focus in some folks i
5455s	think uh let's see
5456s	drones regenerate oh my
5461s	gosh i feel like i didn't get very good
5463s	passes on this ship but that's okay it
5465s	happens
5468s	get out of here
5498s	yeah i think i'm glad that i went for
5500s	more shield energy
5503s	oh i don't like that sniper ouch
5506s	who sometimes
5508s	just fires
5515s	all right
5530s	oh no that's a lot of damage
5533s	i don't want to repair my buddies get
5534s	there get there get there together yes
5539s	yes
5540s	yes they're alive still that's what i
5542s	wanted
5543s	i can run around and not take any damage
5545s	that's fine
5547s	i don't want my drones to die though
5549s	that range makes a pretty big difference
5568s	excellent
5581s	right
5582s	don't hurt my drones
5595s	maximum damage oh yeah
5605s	man tell you what what this what this
5607s	ship lacks in its own firepower it more
5609s	than makes up for it with its drones
5613s	it's not necessarily my play style but i
5616s	do like the way that this ship has come
5618s	along
5619s	and i hope you guys do too
5622s	that that felt good that felt good
5626s	is an energy counterpart to the baron
5628s	executioner planned like a chargeable
5630s	blaster but purely energy damage based
5636s	it's an oddly specific question
5640s	there are more items coming
5642s	not just legendaries of course which we
5644s	haven't shown a single one yet
5647s	but also more variations of already
5650s	implemented uh weaponry
5654s	a chargeable blaster though i don't know
5656s	if there's gonna be a chargeable blaster
5662s	but i am particularly excited for one of
5663s	the new secondaries coming up
5669s	anyway
5675s	why do i keep firing destroyers rex
5676s	after they lose all hole i'll tell you
5678s	why because i wanted to generate as much
5682s	critical hits as possible to restore my
5684s	old which i accomplished because i maxed
5686s	out my ultimate that's why i did that
5690s	all right let's go back to noah nope
5691s	nope nope we need to go to
5694s	uh
5696s	actually we don't have to go to prescott
5701s	we can't do that yet uh let's actually
5704s	let's go to neptune's planes
5705s	and i think we need to finish off the
5708s	we need to finish out the stream flying
5710s	a stinger let's get back to a stinger
5712s	we've been showcasing a number of
5714s	different ships
5715s	we flew the stinger like the first 30
5718s	minutes and then jumped ship literally
5730s	gotta confirm that kill yes that's
5732s	that's actually the main reason why it
5734s	was blowing up but i had to be sure
5739s	all right
5743s	oh man that drone formation though gosh
5745s	dang i i will fully admit that i missed
5748s	that about this ship that just that's
5750s	sexy oh my gosh
5753s	that is just authentically sexy
5756s	flying with your drones
5759s	getting ready to cause absolute havoc
5761s	somewhere
5763s	i did miss that i'll give that to the
5765s	vindicator for sure
5772s	michael selects where those oh we don't
5773s	have time for for screenshots today we
5775s	got some other important things to talk
5776s	about like when our spring update is
5779s	actually planned
5783s	when the spring update
5786s	is dropping
5789s	uh we need to sell sell sell
5791s	sell lots of things
5795s	actually we just let's go straight to
5796s	neptune's planes to do it let's just
5797s	let's go let's go
5801s	[Music]
5812s	you have shown legendaries let me find
5813s	those youtube videos ah we showed the
5815s	coloration in one naming convention for
5817s	a legendary placeholder yes but we
5820s	haven't shown you the actual authentic
5822s	legendaries
5825s	[Music]
5835s	man
5836s	[Music]
5838s	i really appreciate how smooth ceto's
5841s	super light is actually
5843s	i'm sure i realized that until just that
5845s	moment
5848s	will it be an option to change drone
5850s	formation okay so i love how hyper
5852s	pedantic this question is
5854s	so thank you for that question the
5857s	response is going to be no though no
5859s	there's not there aren't going to be
5860s	options to uh tweak drone formation
5865s	um
5866s	at the core of everspace 2 we want the
5869s	options to make things your own to be
5872s	fairly meaningful uh and surrounding
5875s	that state of the um
5880s	the looting and shooting
5883s	and while
5884s	being able to customize a drone
5885s	formation would be cool
5888s	it's i mean there's like there's not any
5890s	focus on
5891s	on something of that nature that's
5893s	that's the level of aesthetics that's
5894s	just
5896s	not a folk that's all
5900s	could we i don't know
5902s	hans christian is that possible
5905s	i feel like that's that could be that
5907s	could be a tricky situation sort of
5909s	thing
5909s	all right we're gonna uh oh wait no we
5911s	need to uh go to the shop we need to
5913s	sell all the stuff we're not using
5920s	uh
5921s	that's pretty good and then we are going
5923s	to
5928s	yo we're also going to sell um
5931s	we're going to sell all of these what
5933s	we're going to sell these yeah these
5934s	actually sell for a ton of credits look
5936s	at that
5937s	look at that we're gonna sell these
5939s	we've been grinding them out so why not
5941s	and we are going to sell all
5944s	nice
5946s	sell the medicine sell the mines
5954s	blueprint progress complete
5956s	[Music]
5959s	also note that i did in fact scrap a
5962s	bloodstar energy core
5965s	and upon doing that it gave me the
5967s	generic crafting
5972s	for
5973s	there it is for the energy core
5976s	so when you have a variant of an
5979s	item and you scrap it down
5982s	it's going to give you the generic the
5984s	base items version as a blueprint
5988s	and you can actually see that written
5990s	in the description at the very bottom so
5992s	like the speed word benca
5993s	shield
5994s	the binka speedward at the bottom it
5996s	says two out of three blueprint progress
5999s	and then in parentheses it says shield
6000s	so if i were to scrap this which i'm not
6002s	gonna do but if i were to scrap that i
6004s	would unlock
6006s	crafting shields at the superior tier
6009s	just generic shields
6012s	that's what would be uh unlocked ponce
6014s	christian says everything is possible oh
6016s	my gosh
6017s	christian you are beautiful and i love i
6019s	love you you're wonderful
6024s	very optimistic that one
6026s	there's a there's still a lot more
6028s	coming to this game i'm not even talking
6030s	like the freaking spring update oh my
6032s	goodness all right let's go look at our
6034s	other options we need
6036s	that's it we need this nice
6039s	able-bodied
6041s	certainly not a rogue stinger ship right
6044s	here
6045s	that's what we're getting
6055s	would you consider tweaking the standard
6057s	drone formation so the drones always
6058s	arrange in a cis uh symmetrical manner
6061s	uh well
6063s	there are i think it's eight slots three
6066s	four five six seven eight there's eight
6067s	slots that drones can adhere to around
6070s	the ship
6072s	and you can have either five or six five
6074s	or six drones
6076s	so
6080s	um
6084s	and if you like lose a drone
6086s	uh then it's changing their order right
6092s	but hans christian says everything is
6093s	possible so maybe maybe we can do that
6101s	all right
6102s	um also guys i actually have to take a
6104s	quick break um so i'm gonna go run use
6107s	the restroom really quick um and then i
6109s	will be right back uh so don't go
6111s	anywhere
6112s	um also as a reminder that you can of
6115s	course go to our discord you can follow
6116s	us at twitch twitter youtube

6242s	wondering but nope nay i say to thee
6245s	everything is fine
6247s	everything is under control i'm just
6249s	gonna be flying this stinger about a
6251s	little bit further
6252s	we're gonna be um
6255s	i mean actually we're gonna we're gonna
6256s	make sure that we're answering questions
6258s	like intensely these last bits here
6261s	because we're we've been using ombre
6263s	penumbra approaching combat appears
6266s	inevitable we showcased um more crafting
6269s	actually as a whole um
6272s	with using the uh
6273s	catalysts
6275s	and uh yeah i wish i knew what they
6278s	wanted
6279s	everyone's asking about rogue
6282s	rogue will be released in the april
6284s	update
6285s	spring update
6297s	oh
6298s	my gosh you know what guys
6301s	actually the joke's on you
6304s	the joke's on you because you should
6306s	actually head over to steam right now
6307s	and see if you have an update to
6309s	everspace 2 what
6313s	yes
6314s	yes that's actually what i said go over
6316s	right the freak now
6321s	because we have to have an experimental
6323s	branch drop first to ensure that the
6325s	update's gonna launch perfectly well on
6328s	april 1st oh my gosh ladies and
6331s	gentlemen
6332s	[Applause]
6336s	that's right so if you've got the steam
6338s	branch version all you have to do is
6340s	change over to experimental you can dive
6342s	in i would back up your save files that
6345s	will uh we'll have like a little bit of
6347s	information regarding uh how you can do
6349s	that um and start the download right now
6352s	we've got about uh
6354s	18 minutes left in the stream which
6356s	would be a pretty good amount of time
6358s	for those of you especially with like
6359s	google fiber
6361s	you might even have it downloaded pretty
6363s	fast to where you could start
6364s	immediately after the stream otherwise
6366s	um
6367s	happy weekends galore and also be sure
6370s	in this time period to provide your
6372s	feedback for that experimental branch
6374s	this is so important
6376s	so important to us i've been running
6379s	into bugs today uh that i didn't think
6382s	we were going to run into they happen it
6384s	happens guys and there have been so many
6387s	changes to this game under the hood
6390s	it has been
6391s	nuts
6393s	it has been actually nuts so your
6396s	feedback makes a huge difference so that
6399s	we can iron out all of those additional
6401s	kinks to ensure the launch of the spring
6404s	the april update
6406s	for april 1st
6408s	gets dropped
6410s	accordingly swimmingly
6413s	expertly perfectly whatever word you
6416s	want to to plug in there
6419s	because it is happening
6422s	it is happening
6429s	so this ship that i'm flying right now
6431s	all these changes we've been talking
6432s	about covering all the different vessels
6434s	it's all it's all gonna be there
6437s	soon just from you downloading it
6440s	oh my gosh
6441s	joke's on you eric i don't have the game
6443s	on steam ah you know it's you know
6446s	it is what it is
6447s	steam has the opportunity we're thankful
6450s	that we can do that
6454s	but man
6456s	the full update with all the kinks out
6460s	dropping april first and it is no joke
6469s	now this is kind of a tricky uh
6473s	tricky situation because this this
6475s	weaponry is not ideal for an ancient
6485s	there we go
6489s	there we go almost there almost there
6493s	we're gonna kill him with the flock
6494s	aren't we
6497s	at least it's consistent all right
6499s	beautiful
6501s	what there's just a casual war in here
6502s	oh that's a this is um so we're at a
6505s	state in the game where we kind of maybe
6507s	accidentally opened up a um
6511s	a site to release ancients
6513s	[Laughter]
6514s	so they can uh
6516s	periodically uh show up from time to
6518s	time
6521s	oh my gosh
6523s	oh my goodness
6525s	so yeah i see a lot of people saying yep
6526s	downloading now good good yup it should
6528s	be coming through it should be coming
6531s	through
6532s	absolutely
6534s	yep um and also just because i haven't
6537s	said a single thing about this um or no
6540s	i actually said it once you can back up
6542s	your save files i did say that
6544s	um and there's instructions on how to do
6546s	that in the post that i believe andy is
6548s	going to put um over on uh steam like
6550s	any second
6552s	uh post on post on post on steam
6554s	post on steam question mark
6558s	um so that will be
6559s	uh that should be applicable any moment
6563s	um if not already
6565s	um and then through that also um
6569s	two more things because my brain is
6570s	going everywhere right now because so
6572s	much excitement it's crazy uh we also
6575s	are doing we have all that localization
6577s	check this out check this out all this
6579s	localization that we've been working on
6582s	all the language localizations
6585s	if you want to help us out because these
6587s	are work in progress
6589s	if you want to help us out
6591s	we would love you
6593s	to supply your suggestions and feedback
6595s	for that localization through a website
6598s	called crowdin
6600s	and that information will also be linked
6604s	in the discord very soon it will also be
6606s	linked on steam very soon
6609s	should be very easy very accessible
6610s	you'll basically just click on a link so
6612s	as you're playing the game you swap over
6615s	to you know whatever beautiful language
6617s	it is that you speak and you want to
6619s	provide more
6620s	uh feedback because you think
6621s	something's wonky or weird you just go
6623s	to crowden and you plug in the
6626s	information how you deem it worthy this
6628s	not only helps of course you and other
6630s	native language speakers such as
6633s	yourself for that language but obviously
6635s	it helps the majority of the community
6637s	so yeah it's good
6641s	experimental branch release notes have
6643s	also been dropped uh right there thank
6645s	you michael for copying that over i
6647s	really appreciate it i'm trying to do
6648s	that as well so that way i can post this
6651s	just directly casually on discord no big
6654s	deal
6655s	um
6656s	so uh yeah
6658s	just i just hit the button so now
6660s	everyone knows that it's live over on
6662s	discord
6668s	cool
6676s	awesome awesome
6684s	i'm looking forward to uh seeing a lot
6686s	of you stream this weekend as well i
6688s	love popping into your streams and
6689s	seeing how things are going whether
6691s	that's be from carrying over your save
6693s	file which is totally fine totally great
6695s	i think that's awesome um but also note
6698s	that for that authentic feedback
6699s	experience
6701s	if you start a new game you're gonna see
6702s	how this back-end overhaul has truly
6706s	shaped and changed it far more for the
6707s	better i'm i'm saying that you know as a
6711s	rockfish employee and so people are like
6712s	there's totally a bias there whatever i
6715s	have replayed the game myself and the
6718s	flow and the pacing i just i want you to
6720s	experience that and your feedback is
6722s	going to be so much more powerful if you
6724s	do that as well
6725s	so
6726s	we encourage you to start a new save but
6729s	obviously if you don't want to do that
6731s	your old saves will still work all right
6745s	hmm
6753s	gosh the stinger with this weapon is so
6755s	loud
6758s	all right
6767s	live community management stream
6768s	technically yes
6769s	i mean these are community streams
6772s	and i am your community servant
6775s	so it checks out
6777s	checks out
6780s	uh if you guys do have bugs
6783s	uh i i could already see a couple of
6785s	people popping like well my save is
6787s	doing this and i'm having trouble doing
6789s	that uh okay
6791s	uh i know that you want to tell me all
6793s	the things right now unfortunately it's
6795s	not the place to do so because i can't
6797s	really help you out but if you post on
6799s	the forums
6801s	whether with like if you're having a
6803s	crash for example or you have uh
6805s	anything else going on drop it into the
6808s	experimental branch locations which
6810s	should be open i certainly hope they're
6812s	open because they're supposed to be i
6813s	haven't checked um
6815s	but
6816s	you should be able to go right in there
6818s	and say yo check this out we need to fix
6820s	these things
6821s	it's so loud it stings oh my gosh
6824s	you knocked that off medvedev
6827s	[Music]
6830s	speaking of starting you says will there
6832s	be a way to skip the beginning there
6833s	actually is oliver so if you are in the
6836s	very opening shoot you know what let me
6837s	just let me just hang on a second this
6839s	place is a lot more crowded than i
6841s	remember it oh yeah we went back to the
6842s	mirror
6843s	near a transit point uh hang on a second
6845s	save uh stream site fix i'm just to show
6847s	you this completely live so everybody
6850s	knows how to do it if you want to start
6851s	over we're going back to the main menu
6853s	doing it right here right now
6856s	i do this a lot for testing myself so uh
6858s	it's super easy super convenient new
6860s	game plopped a new save right completely
6863s	new game
6865s	we're gonna experience the whole thing
6866s	from the get-go we have nine minutes
6868s	left for the stream by the way you can
6869s	hit the escape button check this out
6871s	skip tutorial
6873s	done
6875s	and now you get into the first
6878s	much more refined cutscene by the way
6881s	all the cutscenes have been further
6883s	refined so you're missing those if you
6885s	continue your saves by the way
6888s	and then you're thrusted into the game
6889s	experience look at this we can just skip
6892s	skip
6892s	skip i want to own a fly i want my few
6895s	views
6897s	this isn't my first dancing oh i know
6899s	right the military and we're right up
6902s	doesn't take long at all
6908s	yep for anybody who missed it the
6909s	experimental branch is live now we have
6911s	this time period for a week to iron out
6913s	all of the big kinks and also the little
6915s	annoying details
6917s	leading up to the full
6919s	release
6920s	on april 1st
6923s	for the april update
6925s	gosh
6928s	shooting scrap is in your perfect
6931s	all right now let's go back to our
6932s	stream safe
6941s	i like the very first ship what is it it
6942s	is a sentinel
6944s	and it actually has a very similar look
6947s	it's a very similar look to the sentinel
6949s	the colonial sentinel from everspace one
6951s	in fact april 1st for real april 1st for
6954s	wheel that is not a joke i know a lot of
6955s	people associate april 1st with april
6957s	fool's day and rightfully so it can be a
6960s	day of joy and hilariousness uh but no
6963s	this is not a joke i can 100 confirm
6965s	that because and you and also check
6968s	check it for the record every previous
6970s	update we've had we have done the
6972s	experimental branch one week prior to
6974s	the full release itself
6977s	experimental just went live
6980s	boom
6988s	all right so we got some gmb we got to
6989s	deal with
6996s	suddenly i wish we had our
6997s	blood star plating
7004s	gosh i love the explosions left behind
7007s	umbra and penumbra just look at that
7011s	look at that this is in fact different
7013s	from a normal flock so you are aware
7017s	each of the weapons receive each of
7019s	these specialty weapons
7021s	have been receiving a unique look and
7023s	sound
7026s	and today in particular it's been very
7027s	loud i'm gonna have to double check my
7029s	audio settings for next week but uh
7032s	it's been a bit on the high side today
7038s	nine standard irons
7053s	all right
7062s	come on
7063s	i want to activate my third
7076s	that's a passive by the way
7078s	we got the passive that i've been
7079s	wanting to show oh my gosh let me do
7081s	that again
7082s	become close for five seconds after your
7085s	shield is depleted that was not a bug
7088s	that is exclusive in fact
7091s	to the stinger
7094s	oh yeah
7095s	oh yeah
7097s	all right
7099s	let's go ahead and pop this open
7105s	added layers of defense can be found
7107s	inside the passes that you generate
7109s	and they may or may not be applicable to
7111s	your particular play style or build so
7113s	make sure that when you choose your
7115s	ships you're not like me during these
7117s	live streams who's trying to just grab a
7119s	ship and go no you want to take careful
7122s	special attention to your passives that
7123s	it has and the bonuses that it grants as
7126s	well the passives are unique
7130s	for every single ship even two different
7133s	stingers can actually have different
7135s	passes
7137s	shaw another visit
7141s	all right so now let's go ahead and head
7144s	back to officer sean at
7146s	um
7150s	grimdespool
7153s	neptune's planes nephews
7164s	[Music]
7169s	i see reduced striker expertise scaling
7171s	also uh keep in mind that you're not max
7174s	level bearded frog so where the game
7176s	space was in the last update uh yeah we
7180s	actually had it to be a bit stronger so
7182s	you can get a sense of what the ship's
7183s	going to be flying like
7184s	in a more
7186s	imagined in-game state because that's
7188s	just as far as you could go
7190s	but we are
7192s	scaling and we are balancing all of
7195s	those figures all those numbers
7196s	accordingly so the ship feels good in
7199s	the right spot as you're going through
7200s	the game's contents
7203s	when you get to the endgame state which
7204s	we are starting to properly balance for
7209s	when you start getting there
7211s	you will absolutely
7214s	see those figures that you desire
7216s	to be there
7219s	all right
7220s	so we're gonna dock here we're gonna
7221s	answer a couple more questions
7223s	mr roslin
7224s	i'm afraid you have come at an
7226s	inconvenient time
7227s	what's wrong
7229s	we were just ransacked by our own head
7230s	management blakemore's elite squad
7232s	removed large amounts of provisions and
7234s	weaponry from our home
7236s	when it comes to cutting lifelines this
7237s	is a new low even for management are you
7240s	sure they took it all
7242s	i recently passed nerea transit point
7244s	and all i saw were a bunch of cargo
7245s	drones waiting to be scanned
7247s	but no one around to move them anywhere
7249s	could be the stuff you're missing
7251s	you must be joking agneta sent me all
7254s	data coming from the transit station
7257s	i'll be you're right mr roslin looks
7260s	like someone reshuffled our hand for us
7262s	is there anything i can do to repay you
7264s	for this situational update
7266s	actually i'm looking for a cargo drone
7268s	number aapy-7633
7271s	i was told that it was sent here
7275s	let me check
7276s	ah i remember aapy was part of a
7279s	shipment containing new medical
7280s	personnel we had sent out a request for
7282s	a new doctor but only their luggage
7284s	arrived
7285s	since we had no use for their
7286s	possessions we dumped the cargo drone in
7288s	a nearby jungle you might still find it
7291s	there rude excellent thank you
7293s	losing a full-blown doctor was just as
7295s	bad as getting our provisions halved
7297s	maybe worse
7298s	as it stands i have two miners in med
7300s	bay with only an unskilled ai operator
7302s	treating them so should you ever find
7304s	out what happened to the lost doctor
7306s	don't hesitate to tell us
7308s	i'll look into it
7309s	i am certain you will
7311s	godspeed mr roslin it was good seeing
7313s	you again
7314s	what a casual way to say no oh my gosh
7318s	all right so i want to point out
7319s	something that bearded frog said just
7321s	because i'm just going to read it
7322s	verbatim and then you guys can take it
7324s	as you will
7325s	don't be afraid to use experimental
7326s	either not only can you help them out
7328s	with bug reports but their experimental
7330s	releases are more stable than aaa full
7332s	releases after 9001 patches
7338s	is so incredibly savage
7343s	but thank you for the praise
7345s	sincerely thank you we we at rockfish
7348s	really do a thorough amount of work
7351s	scrubbing things out
7353s	um
7354s	but uh yeah this is good
7359s	oh my gosh
7361s	all right uh last question a couple more
7363s	questions um but i do see one more
7366s	question that has said um
7369s	what's the max level so max level was
7371s	increased a little bit i know a lot of
7372s	people like to keep uh getting rewarded
7375s	for leveling up so we are increasing the
7377s	max level a little bit further um not to
7381s	where you can get to the next uh perks
7383s	for the player but you'll definitely
7385s	feel an increase of uh the stats overall
7388s	and how it's affecting the itemization
7390s	which is a key point as to why we are
7392s	offering that
7395s	so good good good
7397s	there's lots more voice work that was
7399s	done to even previous segments of the
7402s	game that you've already experienced for
7403s	example if i'm not mistaken uh ben
7407s	grindel actually has a completely
7408s	different voice uh in this version if
7412s	i'm not mistaken
7413s	think that was added
7415s	so uh yeah what about savage hive on
7418s	easy difficulty oh my gosh med bed i
7422s	i hope that we implement something along
7424s	those lines uh if any of you are
7426s	wondering what that means like putting
7427s	it on very easy because the game's a lot
7429s	easier um
7430s	we were talking about this idea of
7432s	making the hive more snarky because of
7435s	that um
7436s	i don't know if it's gonna happen or not
7438s	but that would be hilarious definitely
7441s	pointing that out team all agrees it's
7442s	hilarious um not sure how viable that is
7446s	because that's
7447s	unfortunately that's content gating
7449s	right you only get this if you play on
7451s	this difficulty and we really would like
7453s	to avoid that so
7456s	i can't say it will happen
7458s	all right
7460s	okay
7462s	we fixed nightbot two oh my gosh
7464s	seriously nightbot's working this is
7466s	crazy
7467s	this is crazy all right guys
7469s	thank you so much for coming to the
7472s	stream today it has been my pleasure
7474s	highlighting a lot of new content and
7476s	more rebalancing that the game has to
7478s	offer obviously like if you've been
7480s	watching every single stream you know
7482s	that this update i mean we are
7484s	overhauling so much like everything from
7487s	the resources to the crafting to the
7488s	devices to the ship balance to i mean it
7491s	just it goes on and on and on so if you
7494s	are interested to see how this balance
7496s	affects you and also contribute to it
7499s	by all means dive into the experimental
7501s	branch live right now to help prep this

7601s	optimize and maximize the april first
7605s	spring update launch also as you are
7608s	probably aware this is an early access
7611s	state so back up those save files and
7613s	let us know when things go awry
7615s	furthermore the price point will
7618s	increase at the 1.0 release next year so
7621s	if you are watching these streams and
7623s	you're getting all this information and
7624s	you're just as hyped as we are working
7626s	on it the best time and the most
7628s	affordable time to support us is
7631s	actually right now so not only would you
7633s	get access and the ability to provide
7636s	feedback directly on the forms more
7638s	clearly but you're also saving money in
7641s	the process it's a win-win and we think
7643s	that you should strongly consider that
7645s	if you're interested in our game at the
7647s	same time if you want to withhold your
7649s	good hard cash until that 1.0 release we
7652s	totally understand and respect that and
7653s	we hope that you will continue your
7655s	journey and listening to how we are
7657s	working on the game as well as procuring
7660s	the feedback of which you provide thanks
