51s [Music]
61s [Music]
73s okay
74s i think that'll do it
77s i think we've got everything prepped and
79s ready to go and if we don't well i mean
80s we'll deal with it because that's that's
82s what we do here oh my gosh welcome to
85s the official rockfish games ladies and
87s gentlemen i am your host and your guide
90s eric schrader your community ambassador
92s oh my goodness we are cracking into
94s everspace 2 today i already sent a list
96s and i've already forgotten half of
97s what's on it that's not that's not
99s relevant because i have the list right
101s here so i can refer to it as needed
103s isn't that wonderful isn't that just so
105s great um but yeah it's gonna be a lot
108s it's gonna be a lot so just like just
110s spitting this back out there we're gonna
111s be talking about uh
113s high risk areas and improvements and
115s changes to that including but not
117s limited to some music stuff and some
119s boss modification and how the meter gets
121s filled as well as um a mutator being
125s removed that weakest link and a new one
127s to be added then we got some device
129s stuff to talk about i've got an item
131s thing to talk about uh prototype stuff
133s for stuff renown system another perk
136s another perk and then we're gonna be
137s talking about screenshots and if we have
138s enough time we're gonna be doing
141s something fun at the end of the stream
142s we'll see we'll see i hope we do but uh
145s let's yeah we got a full list of stuff
147s full list of stuff so uh without further
150s ado we're gonna crack on into it with
151s something that i didn't mention
153s but we are going to have a look at a
155s coalition location uh since you know
158s we've been given all this love to
160s zerulia and the retaliators uh but you
163s know there's three new factions showing
165s up here
166s in this summer update that is coming out
168s this summer
170s oh my gosh so that's where we're going
172s to start things off whoa
174s whoa all right this looks a little this
176s looks a little uh interesting and
177s different i'm just going to pause here
179s as i make sure that the chats are
181s functioning accordingly i also need to
183s pull up one other little document
186s uh don't want to forget any of those
188s added little details
190s uh just a quick shout out to geekbyte no
193s big deal uh
194s okay
195s i think i'm ready to go
198s my goodness
200s has anyone else had a crazy leak let me
202s tell you what mine has been kind of nuts
204s oh my gosh
208s there we go oh my gosh so much better so
211s much better okay
213s um so yeah let's let's start talking
215s about this terra nova claim uh because
218s again we're like diving right into
220s another location and drink my goodness
222s i'm gonna show you all of it before that
224s summer update hits um and uh
227s there are there's immediately a couple
229s of uh noteworthy
231s adjustments
233s that i can just dip into some maybe not
236s maybe not crazy but some that are just
238s pleasant
239s so we're just gonna hover over this
241s prototype um very subtle change here
244s this one's a lighter one but you can see
246s that now like your prototypes and this
247s also applies to star forged they will
250s have item borders to them uh so you can
253s just have a little bit more like wow
255s factor whenever you get to those bad
257s boys
258s uh good stuff good stuff just not just a
260s nice little convenience sort of thing
262s just to make it look just uh you know
265s give that added little i found a thing
267s uh sort of thing uh additionally i want
270s to be incredibly clear on this front so
272s um
273s the save game that i was using like the
276s last times we've been streaming it
278s became very clear to me that the way we
281s have rebalanced the uh experience gains
285s and the itemization generation
288s it is no longer
291s uh very realistic to be flying around at
293s like a level 20 space with fully maxed
297s out superior equipment in order to do
299s that you'd have to do a little bit of
300s grinding superior equipment is really
302s meant for like the 25
305s plus range
306s and um you know then you know we haven't
309s really cracked into legendaries yet but
311s the reason why i'm addressing this is
312s what you see on the screen here
314s this is a fairly realistic loadout of
318s what we would have
319s at level 23. so when you see something
322s like a superior item drop it should be
325s pretty exciting
328s especially if you start over
330s uh your save whenever the summer update
332s that's coming out this summer launches
334s um you know building yourself up from
336s level one you're going to have a lot
339s more especially with oh my gosh so many
341s things rebalanced it's nuts it's it's
343s just ridiculous uh the figures that are
346s behind the scenes bringing this all
347s together
349s um which we continue to talk about every
351s week um but yeah the tiers also being
354s addressed in that front and then you
355s know you have the prototype and the
356s starforge grades
358s that just we keep adding these layers
360s it's kind of it's kind of silly
362s in the best way possible now this is
364s something else which i'm not kind of
366s diving out of my orders uh incorrectly
369s but i don't care so this is this is one
372s that i think
373s is probably the most noteworthy uh thing
376s that we've had in uh some time
379s regarding how the mainframe expansions
381s work
384s so
385s very short previously the mainframe
387s expansions used to provide exactly 20
390s attribute points
392s and uh well that's no longer the case
394s here
395s if you if you look right next to my head
399s that i'm sort of blocking
401s this says that the mainframe expansion
403s provides a 15
404s increase
407s 15 increase that is not plus 15
411s that is plus 15 percent
413s so
414s that means that once all those numbers
417s all these all these
418s let me get my face all the way gosh dang
420s it eric get out of the way what are you
422s doing with with your life okay
424s much better so um
426s once you have those numbers
429s onto your ship and it all adds together
433s then main the number of mainframe
435s expansions in this case we have three
437s five percent for each uh
440s grouping of mainframe expansions up to
442s five right
444s each one
445s uh increases that number that is
448s calculated from all of your gear
451s and increases it by that percentage
453s point right so if we were to remove
456s these mainframe uh expansions
459s you'll see our value is uh
462s 1207 right so when we increase this
465s number 1207 by
467s 15 percent
473s that is what happens
476s so the mainframe expansion
479s is increasing that this value
483s your bonuses
485s as opposed to providing just that static
488s 20. so
489s in short
491s uh mainframe expansions are a freaking
493s heck of a ton better like we're talking
496s vast improvement over what they were
497s before so if you are taking the time and
500s energy to go and complete location
502s challenges to obtain these and plug them
504s in it will be beneficial as you are
507s leveling up i mean this is a direct this
509s has a direct impact on your scaling as
511s you're progressing through the game
513s right uh because if you're in a lower
516s level and 15 of whatever your value is
518s is still only 15
520s right it's like 300 okay well it's gonna
522s boost that by a little bit you're gonna
524s get something out of it versus in your
526s late game situation your firepower is
528s ten thousand i don't know whatever it is
531s then it's going to increase that value
532s by 15 or whatever you have right so uh
536s just a very simple uh update on this
539s front
540s which through our testing has already
542s felt so much better it feels so much
545s more rewarding having earned these
546s because they do have an impact
549s and in addition to this i even had a
551s quick chat with marco before the stream
554s my initial concern maybe somebody else
556s out there is thinking about it my
558s initial concern was like
560s man well what about something that you
561s haven't put like any stats into like
563s that's not gonna be very beneficial to
565s it whatsoever right
567s well
568s sort of so
570s when you're putting emphasis into one
572s stat like i have firepower is my biggest
574s stat here which really could use more
576s emphasis but you know stacking
579s the
580s mainframe overrides on it it's still
581s like you know it's nothing absurd but it
585s is very beneficial to have right like
587s we're taking it from
588s uh less than our precision and then
590s we're like really capitalizing on that
592s but if we wanted to use that on
593s something like structure and give that a
595s boon it's still gonna help hook it up
598s because you're gaining attributes every
600s time you level up
602s so regardless of how much emphasis
605s you've put across the board you're still
607s gonna gain those benefits
609s through whatever you put it into you're
611s never like losing the power um but i
615s think optimally how you guys want it to
617s be and how we're kind of viewing it is
619s that when you want to emphasize as much
622s stuff as possible like you really want
624s to crack home that firepower damage or
626s utility or whatever
627s when you invest the mainframe expansions
630s into it it's
631s multiplicative right it just makes it
633s explode even further so
635s that's a pretty big chain
637s of events on that front okay so i'm
639s gonna that was a bit just right out of
641s the gate so i'm gonna answer a quick
642s couple questions um what so let's see
644s here um
648s let's see is the summer update going to
650s become the fall update uh no it'll be in
653s fact the summer update that's coming out
654s this summer uh thanks for that t3 cube
657s uh chattaweek says why not have constant
660s rarity rates throughout the game i.e
662s similar chance to get a superior
663s legendary at level 1 as 30. because
666s that's just not the way we wanted to do
668s it honestly we wanted there to be unique
670s uh modifiers that show up progressively
673s over time that add depth to the loop
675s pull so that you are in constant pursuit
678s of something better uh that being said
680s you know if you are at a lower level uh
683s position and you are investing a lot in
684s your crafting and you're gaining a lot
686s of parts you can kind of like break that
688s formula if you will um especially if
690s you're grinding out blueprints for
692s example
693s so in a way that you can kind of like
696s bypass that system like if you're only
698s doing high-risk areas when you're a
699s lower level instead of progressing the
701s story
703s but if that's how you want to do it
705s you would find those routes but all in
707s all it's just the method that we wanted
710s to approach it we want those modifiers
712s to be that determining factor on that
714s front
715s then we also had just a couple quick
717s questions from youtube as well um
719s excelsior asked does it scale the same
722s for all attributes yes the scaling is
724s identical um it just depends on where
726s you are plugging it in so like if i took
728s our 15 out of precision we plug it into
730s structure it's also still 15
734s um
735s so and it's it's the the progression as
737s a whole it's five percent for each one
739s of those tiers as it moves up right
742s so
743s 5
745s 10
746s 15
747s 20 etc right
749s also i'm gonna adjust this to do this i
750s want my firepower to be even more
753s yummy all right
755s so yeah great question uh then bearded
758s frog also asks will this make it into
761s the
762s spring update the summer update yes it
764s will make it into the summer update uh
767s yeah so yeah everything that i'm showing
769s you like when i when i get the chance to
771s show you this stuff like
772s it's going to be in the summer update i
774s think there's legitimately been like two
775s things that i've shown you guys that
777s won't be because there's still a work in
779s progress one of which is like the ping
781s system where you can add like a a marker
784s to the map that will inevitably show up
786s it's not going to be ready for the
787s summer update um
789s and then will the summer update come
791s with new localizations uh for the new
793s missions and new stories that's actually
795s a fantastic question from wizard jerry
797s which i'm going to have to redirect oh
799s michael looks like he answered it uh yes
802s pretty sure we'll have localizations for
803s the new story content in place so there
804s you go perfect thank you for that
806s response by the way michael
808s awesome
809s so good questions all right so back to
811s uh more more content stuff
817s all right hope you're having a good time
819s i'm like flying by the seat of my pants
820s right now like i said it's been kind of
822s a crazy week um a crazy month honestly
825s we've made so many improvements um but i
827s think one of the next things that we
829s want to do of course is you know we
830s started in this space let's uh let's go
832s exploring for a little bit
839s so this is a location inside of the
842s coalition's uh space if you will
846s as you can see uh man they've got
848s i got some serious issues with
850s retaliators and cerulea both goodness
852s great
854s so let's address some of this form
872s oh
885s a beam laser though i like the way it
887s like the sound bends as you continue
889s firing it
900s oh
901s that's a that's a big find right there
903s let's have a quick look at that that is
905s a star forged level 24 sensor
908s so you can also see i should have
910s should have slowed down there let it
912s linger in space but you could also tell
914s what it is in space like it has a little
916s extra circle around it um that's that's
919s actually a really good get
921s that looks fantastic i think we're gonna
923s have to just uh
925s slap this bad boy on
930s excellent
937s another change that we
939s implemented this is a very subtle one
941s but just kind of uh as a point of
943s reference
945s now whenever an attribute
947s isn't on the other one it's being
949s compared to we actually just list out
951s the attribute and show its
953s value that it doesn't have
956s very simple change so like
958s since we have five power precision
960s resistance and expertise being compared
962s between these two
963s it shows the firepower difference
965s which of course is the entire amount of
967s the one that has it versus the one that
968s doesn't but then it also shows precision
971s resistance and expertise in that minus
973s volume again kind of subtle
975s but relevant
976s just to make it a bit easier
978s for a quick look to know what it is
980s you're gaining and losing
983s awesome wow i can't believe i found that
985s uh
987s that was that's wonderful all right
988s let's get this it's really a bomber it
990s looks like he's uh
992s being a little too joyous against this
993s coalition fighter
1000s oh
1011s excellent
1018s oh a cruise booster
1020s that reminds me of another change that's
1022s recently happened oh my gosh
1026s so many changes to talk about today
1027s what's in here dark matter excellent
1033s all right so now that we've cleared out
1035s the combat at least in this sector we
1037s can kind of take a wait wait
1039s that's fine we'll take a we'll just take
1041s a quick look so we have this
1044s coalition base
1048s look at look at that carrier my goodness
1050s all right ah we have this coalition base
1052s that's kind of like ebbing around the
1054s side of these rocks right
1057s it's almost like
1058s this used to be a super massive base and
1061s it's just this is all missing
1066s it's like you know we got these lights
1068s that are even like hey we we got this
1070s huge and it's it's just gone
1073s ha
1074s that's particular
1076s that's probably not good
1083s but yeah we've got this little coalition
1084s outpost here and we have these debris
1088s which are now highlighted to
1089s make it a lot easier to throw
1099s and we'll just kind of like zip around
1102s gather some stuff
1110s and obviously answer some more questions
1113s very soon
1118s so
1119s one thing we talked about last week
1121s was this combat mode not last week two
1124s weeks ago that was out last week oh
1127s but uh two weeks ago we talked about
1129s this addition of combat mode
1133s and you can see it subtly at the top and
1135s bottom of the screen there's a little
1136s right red highlight
1144s and we also talked about some of the
1146s implementations of how like that affects
1149s the game space so um
1152s real quick i just want to show an
1153s example here where we take these emp
1155s missiles and we equip them on
1157s and it's now it says 25 seconds
1162s what
1163s eric this is backwards this isn't an
1165s improvement you're freaking what are you
1167s doing this sucks you're making
1169s everything more difficult hang on there
1172s all right because i want to introduce
1174s you to a new perk
1176s we're talking about a new perk
1178s so we're going to go over to
1180s the hive
1183s and we have this one called startup
1185s delays
1189s startup delays
1190s reduces the startup delay after
1192s equipping the secondary weapon or
1193s consumable to 20 seconds so it reduces
1195s that from 25 to 20. you're like oh my
1197s gosh i have to spend a perk to get back
1200s to where i was at
1203s yes
1205s but don't worry it gets better
1208s so keep this in your mind as we're going
1210s to continue playing out this location
1212s without that perk and then i'm going to
1214s load up a save where we have everything
1216s and i'm going to show you its
1217s progression
1219s so a little tease
1221s little tease as we're moving into uh
1224s this new space
1225s and how we are
1227s designing
1229s this perk progression around this combat
1233s mode as you can see the location
1235s challenge here is to fix uh all of the
1238s leaks
1239s so we could do that
1242s i feel like i'll just leave you guys to
1244s this whenever we launch the summer
1245s update that's coming out this summer
1248s but uh
1251s we build it you finish it
1255s all right but this uh this location
1259s if i understand it correctly
1262s this location is loosely
1266s uh
1267s loosely similar
1269s to one of our
1271s prototype build locations
1275s from like
1277s literal years ago
1281s maybe some of you can kind of see it
1284s the bass uh not so much
1298s kind of giving just a nice general look
1300s of this territory
1303s some of you might recognize it
1305s it's kind of it's hard to see it's
1307s arguably hard to see
1312s tight budget says sirloin oh my gosh
1316s more like we made content and we figured
1319s that we should probably use it instead
1321s of make more content and waste our time
1323s uh but you know that's fine that's your
1325s interpretation
1329s jeez man
1331s is this the way you always are when you
1332s go to like dev streams like oh man i
1335s noticed your content's like
1339s that was uh
1341s it was a cheeky statement i i liked it
1343s uh
1344s but
1345s i'll only allow it this once oh my gosh
1356s but some of us only want to waste your
1357s time that's fair that's you know that's
1359s actually a pretty good statement
1361s that's pretty good statement all right
1362s so i'm gonna i'm gonna just like gather
1363s a couple of these other resources nearby
1366s um i'm hoping to get uh
1368s something again that would um that was
1371s revealing of perk upgrades i saw it with
1373s the credits and i don't think that's
1375s something that we've fully discussed
1377s maybe we get with the scrap metal here
1378s maybe
1379s maybe
1383s nope it's not gonna i have to i have to
1385s do a thing specifically so nevermind um
1388s but basically and we kind of covered it
1389s in a previous stream but for anyone
1390s who's missed it whenever you have
1394s uh
1395s loot to pick up from like a container
1398s specifically
1400s it will tell you if that item
1404s is useful for a perk upgrade
1408s just like straight up tells you
1412s so but anyway who wants to listen to the
1414s super light music and drake
1419s so much stuff today oh my gosh i'm going
1421s to answer another question real quick um
1423s a question from t3 cube on twitch well
1426s the music for zarkov and kayette kait
1429s and drake be completed or will we still
1431s have the default soundtrack thing that
1432s we've had since zarkov um so i'm not
1435s entirely sure what your expectation is
1438s for the music so let me set that right
1440s now
1441s in short
1442s there will be music that plays through
1445s all systems
1447s every single one
1448s and there's also music that plays for
1451s specific systems okay
1454s drake will have specific music
1457s zarkov has specific music kite nebula
1460s has specific music etc etc right so
1463s all of the music is certainly not done
1465s we still have more game that we're
1466s making we still have new systems right
1468s so more music is inbound and
1471s that means that we could add in more
1473s music to the already existing systems so
1476s i could not say that any current system
1479s is complete regarding its music i can't
1483s say that because we could throw in a
1485s track and remove one we could
1488s replace tracks move them around
1491s so that's still a work in progress but
1494s do know that more music is in fact being
1497s created that is guaranteed
1499s uh am i playing on normal uh
1502s am i
1508s who's the scrub who asked that question
1510s oh that was uh my co-worker
1516s thanks thanks for that excellent okay
1519s very good
1521s now uh i am a bit i think my level is a
1523s little bit high for this particular
1525s sector so you know don't worry about
1526s that
1531s for this bit in the game for this
1533s demonstration of this location
1537s oy he says
1544s but uh i digress
1547s now something i actually i really enjoy
1549s about this location is that you have
1551s these like massive asteroids showing you
1554s that this is kind of like a chunk where
1556s this base has been established
1559s just to kind of set that theme a bit
1561s more these super massive pieces
1568s and again this is one location inside of
1570s drake so let's listen to some super
1572s light music
1574s inside of drake
1577s [Music]
1590s so
1601s so
1652s i looked at a chat and mike's like music
1655s could be louder oh my gosh goodness
1657s gravy all right okay all right
1661s we're cranking it
1663s we're crank hang on a second hang on
1665s super crank are you ready
1669s [Music]
1695s excellent
1697s so you're really getting you're really
1698s getting like all the
1700s nuance behind it right like so you can
1702s tell very much
1704s that drake uh
1706s you know it's got this i don't even know
1708s how to describe it i'm just gonna let
1710s you guys
1710s interpret it the way you want i suppose
1713s but overall like remember that this
1715s location this is a
1717s this is a battle zone right between
1720s various factions
1722s vying for power
1724s right
1724s um and they are trying to uh best one
1728s another
1729s probably
1732s so
1734s it's not very joyous music out here it's
1736s kind of like
1741s all right wild west yeah very much so
1744s very much so all right so uh i can't
1747s show you any locations as i'm flying
1748s through super light so it's just the
1750s music just the music from that point so
1752s now we're going to jump over to our
1754s next bit oh my goodness where where are
1757s all the things all right
1761s quiet before the storm i think is a
1762s really good way to describe that yeah
1768s it's a bit mellow it's a bit somber
1773s i missed a distress call yes
1774s intentionally
1775s i'll let you guys discover those
1777s distress calls inside of drake when the
1781s summer update comes out this summer
1783s oh my gosh so uh so i picked up our uh
1788s previous save to talk about a lot more
1791s things um
1793s so let's just kind of like see where
1795s we're at with everything uh because i'm
1797s trying to remember oh yeah so we like
1799s boosted some stuff and we did some
1800s things and uh let's talk let's let's
1803s fully delve into the startup delays
1806s right
1807s so tier one you reduce that timer
1811s to 20 seconds now in a previous stream i
1814s had mentioned that when you are in
1816s combat we didn't want that timer to
1819s exist whatsoever which is set to this
1822s perk
1823s at tier two this
1825s removes the startup delays when not and
1827s uh yeah when not in combat so if you're
1830s not in combat
1831s you completely bypass
1834s having to wait around at all
1838s and then the third upgrade
1840s further reduces the start of delay
1842s when you're in combat
1845s to
1846s 15 seconds
1850s we're just going to grab that too
1856s so this whole combat mode mechanic is
1859s effectively tied to this perk
1862s so when you're introduced to it when you
1864s get it like yes there's
1867s you gotta invest the resources of course
1869s but once you have it it's gonna add that
1871s next level of convenience to where if
1872s you need something immediately like our
1875s secondary missile
1876s we we are hot swapping without any
1878s ramifications because there's nothing
1880s nearby and if we were in combat we'd
1882s only have to wait a mere 15 seconds now
1886s just 15 seconds
1888s as opposed to uh some of what we've had
1891s to deal with uh in other situations and
1894s cases all right so um next we're gonna
1897s do some high-risk area stuff and talk
1899s about some changes i think i actually
1901s need to discard this one and just
1903s generate a new one entirely
1906s i will do it anyway
1908s why not
1912s why not
1916s [Music]
1920s all right
1925s what is the mining tracker i see as a
1927s question from species uh the mining
1930s tracker uh uh
1932s i'm trying to figure out where you saw
1935s mine tracker there's mining equipment
1936s which is a commodity
1940s oh you're talking about are you talking
1942s about like
1943s no you're that's not what it's labeled
1945s but i can show you tracking uh resources
1948s on the map
1950s maybe that's more of what you're
1953s like bouncing around i'm not sure what
1954s you saw that said mining tracker
1957s but like on this this is coming up in
1960s the summer update where you can choose
1962s what type of resource you're looking for
1964s and then it tells you where it's at
1965s provided you've added it to your map you
1967s have to discover it first
1969s before it populates here which
1972s that probably makes sense you can't be
1974s told where something is if you haven't
1976s been there like you have no data yet
1983s all right
1987s so we're in this high risk area enemies
1989s regenerate
1990s uh we have overheated systems so every
1992s 10 seconds which is actually reduced by
1994s a little bit uh because of our stats
1997s we'll have an overheated system and then
1999s enemies die in a corrosive dump
2003s so let's use our gear and best them
2007s one very pleasant change to high risk
2010s areas which i think a lot of you are
2012s going to appreciate
2015s is that now
2016s the boss meter fills up
2018s based on the type of enemy that you best
2023s i'm gonna say that again without combat
2024s going on
2026s your boss meter fills up based on the
2030s type of enemy that you best so if it's a
2032s drone it's not going to be much if it's
2034s a fighter it's going to be a little bit
2035s more if it's a big fighter or if it's a
2039s small freighter or something like that
2041s it's going to fill up even more et
2042s cetera et cetera
2045s so based on what you are fighting
2049s it will fill up accordingly
2055s my goodness we are
2057s in a little bit of trouble
2060s so let's just rectify that
2063s through our means
2071s there we go
2073s now we are playing on very hard in this
2075s state and we also have a loadout that
2077s would be far more applicable to where
2079s we're at what we are trying to
2080s accomplish here
2081s so
2082s um
2083s this is actually challenging um this is
2085s not this is not me on a game dev builds
2088s like her easy mode so you guys can see
2090s everything going on i do actually have
2092s to be uh fairly competent on bringing
2095s this all together right now
2097s and that's how we want the high risk
2098s areas by the way i'm sure you probably
2100s do too
2116s goodness
2127s so we are using a perk that allows us to
2129s survive if we get uh
2132s if we get destroyed which we did
2135s we absolutely did
2147s i think what we're gonna do is we are
2149s going to swap our device out for our emp
2152s generator i think i want to get some
2154s more splash damage in on this
2160s as well as the ability to you know
2162s survive
2169s it's a lot of missiles oh and you're an
2171s elite oh that's no good
2173s but we are faster than you i can get
2175s around here
2187s oh i keep flying through that corrosion
2197s so what i'm gonna do here since this is
2200s not looking super great for me is i'm
2202s going to
2203s uh craft some large nanobots
2208s i'll have to wait 15 seconds but that'll
2210s be good otherwise um i'm gonna probably
2212s also have to use this energy shield so
2214s i'm just not immediately destroyed
2226s there's our health back
2232s excellent
2243s you get a little breathing room here
2278s this is particularly interesting hans
2280s christian
2282s house christian
2284s so normally the overheating effect
2287s goes away
2288s after a period but it seems uh they have
2292s effectively bound themselves to my
2294s equipment uh permanently
2296s that's definitely a bug and it's not
2298s supposed to happen
2299s thus making this situation
2302s rather impossible
2305s oh my gosh
2309s but i do have yeah i do have missiles
2310s that shoot
2311s free uh so when doing critical damage
2314s with the primary weapon there's a 20
2315s chance to automatically fire this weapon
2316s without consuming ammo
2319s anybody who's wondering about that one
2323s excellent
2324s i probably missed a couple more
2325s questions doing all this
2334s uh we'll answer questions here in a
2336s little bit uh so but yeah this is
2338s definitely uh not supposed to be
2339s happening the overheating
2341s that's happening from this high-risk
2343s area is meant to affect you um only once
2347s every like 10 seconds and then something
2348s else gets overheated
2352s so we're probably gonna die
2357s i do have this nasty little repair combo
2372s what's also interesting too hans
2374s christian if you are listening still uh
2376s i do have this uh nano repair kit which
2378s damages a random
2380s repairs a damaged uh equipment item and
2383s it's not considering them damaged
2384s because they're overheated uh so we'll
2386s have to definitely fix that before
2388s summer update that's coming out this
2389s summer
2391s all right anyway
2393s out of bugs back into combat that we are
2395s definitely going to lose
2400s but you can you can already start seeing
2402s like with how the boss meter um getting
2405s filled up based on the type of enemy
2406s kills
2408s that's going to
2409s impact a bit more of even like what type
2412s of modifiers you're getting and how it's
2414s going to conclude your progression
2418s i think i'm just gonna let this i think
2419s we're gonna die here
2421s i think we're gonna let this die
2423s uh and we are going to
2425s generate a new one
2432s uh dr u uh so
2435s uh maybe just been overheated by the
2437s npcs so i would love to believe you on
2439s that front however it i would have a uh
2442s overheat meter in my condition tab at
2445s the very top of the screen and it was
2446s not appearing so that tells me that's
2448s straight up a bug
2449s but we can investigate that um a little
2452s bit later for now what we want to do is
2454s we want to get into a better position
2456s to talk about more of this stuff that
2458s we've been working on my goodness
2460s also it is warm in my office so if i
2462s start sweating it's not because
2465s michael's in the room
2466s it's uh it's legitimately because it's
2468s just warm here so uh let's go ahead and
2472s uh
2473s head to
2475s union let's go over to union i think
2477s somebody had asked a question about
2478s showing a location in union so we'll we
2480s could probably do that also answer a
2482s couple more uh questions of course
2488s as we're traveling even uh to show that
2490s loot is useful for perk upgrades that
2492s you haven't even started yet um so
2494s one of the things that we will do so
2496s this isn't a hundred percent to that
2498s bearded frog but your question um
2501s i will say one of the things we are
2502s going to do one of the things we're
2504s going to change and how the uh
2506s progression to perks occurs is that we
2509s are going to list up all of the upgrades
2512s even if you don't have the first one so
2515s right now as you can see you can't um
2518s what upgrade two and three do right but
2520s we're going to add that in so you'll see
2522s all of what upgrades do
2525s um i think the game plan though is that
2527s you only see the requirements of the
2529s upgrade you're on
2531s um
2531s [Music]
2533s i think
2536s there you go uh
2538s could we add these to every single
2540s upgrade and have like this scrolling up
2541s and down uh maybe that's
2544s we'd have to talk about that internally
2546s if that's what the best course of action
2547s moving forward would be but uh there you
2549s go so that's kind of how that plays out
2552s i'm also gonna go ahead and get these uh
2554s again
2554s uh
2555s because i can and also because i want to
2558s um why can't you access the jump gate at
2560s union border control in zarkov because
2563s we never got access to it
2565s we never got access to it so based on
2568s the story campaign alone
2570s um when we are trying to get to zharkov
2573s um our access from gmb effectively gets
2578s uh stopped
2580s because we have to have the codes like
2583s lore wise we have to have the codes that
2586s um
2587s the darker side of gmb only allows to
2590s pass through right we are a gmb grunt
2592s our access is very thin uh it's why we
2596s can move around sido and then also get
2598s to union by you know utilizing the hive
2600s at least but otherwise we would have
2602s been able to get a key from our
2603s superiors but we weren't you know
2605s all the keys were distributed at that
2607s time uh but from that point there's no
2610s way we're gonna find a key to get over
2612s to zarkop so it's locked away we have to
2613s find another means through it which is
2615s how why we do uh then we use that and
2618s that's the source that we go back and
2619s forth even though you can see
2621s the
2623s we got it right everyone understands so
2625s like you can see
2627s the connection points but you don't have
2629s access to that you have to go through
2630s the back back way
2633s awesome yay fun lore stuff okay um
2636s now i'm heading down here
2639s ah then uh
2641s goodness gravy somebody asked about uh
2642s bearded frog also asked
2644s about
2645s uh will my beatboxing making of the game
2648s music i certainly hope not i think that
2649s you guys want a pleasant experience for
2652s your ears as you're playing the game um
2659s perhaps in the secret earth cow level oh
2661s my gosh all right okay all right
2665s okay
2666s uh let's head over to prescott
2668s i want to talk about prescott
2672s otherwise can you show us the location
2673s in union yep we're going to union right
2675s now it is in fact a location med bed
2688s we can go to other locations in union of
2690s course special bypass tech for the win
2693s i am awaiting the next impending
2694s malfunction so i can finally say
2697s i told you so excellent hey do we want
2699s to accidentally show ships that we're
2701s not supposed to show yet i know i sure
2703s do um
2705s we're just gonna we're just gonna park
2707s here uh as i probably address a couple
2709s more things that are being added and
2711s adjusted one of which is in fact the
2713s ship dealer
2715s i just can't uh i think we're okay i
2717s think we're okay
2718s i think
2719s we're gonna do it
2721s gosh dang it ah every time oh my
2724s goodness somebody screenshot that i
2726s share with the world anyway um but no
2729s we're like making more changes
2733s we're making a couple more tweaks and
2734s adjustments to the ship dealer um
2736s honestly i i don't think you've actually
2738s seen this ship model but whatever we're
2740s gonna throw it in there i don't care i i
2741s showed it very briefly there you go guys
2744s you get a little bonus today whatever um
2747s but yeah we like there are tier three
2749s ships that we are currently working on
2751s and we're implementing slowly but surely
2753s um and the changes that i thought that
2755s happened here aren't quite implemented
2757s yet but um as i previously told you guys
2760s there will be additional changes to the
2762s ship dealer page just to make things a
2764s little bit more clear like for example
2766s there'll be a ship description which um
2768s i'm waiting to hear back from
2770s regarding those um
2774s not uh not you know pointing that out or
2775s anything uh
2777s uh but yeah like we have uh you know we
2780s got these switch passives options which
2782s we showed we can go ahead and do that
2783s really quick um one of the little tweaks
2785s we added to that i think based on what
2788s happened to me you know the the passives
2791s that you get the passes that are
2793s available when you switch passives it's
2795s going to prioritize
2797s different passives than the ones that
2799s generated
2800s so
2801s as my example was in that stream i think
2804s it was two weeks ago when i switched the
2806s passives and it swapped the passives
2808s like literally the places of them and i
2810s got the exact same two passives it's
2811s gonna try not to do that now let's have
2814s an attempt here so we can grab and throw
2816s drones activating quantum teller
2817s instantly press 50 armor and enemies
2818s within 30 300 meters cannot regenerate
2821s shields we're going to switch the
2822s passives
2823s boom
2824s so now
2826s we still have enemies within 300 meters
2828s cannot regenerate shields but now we
2830s have 30 increased boost speed on while
2833s under missile lock and locked enemies
2834s targets
2835s locked enemy targets suffer 20 speed
2837s reduction
2838s so it prioritizes different passives
2841s than the ones that you generated keep
2842s that in mind if you're searching for one
2844s in particular
2846s and you can only do that once so if i
2848s keep mashing this it's not going to keep
2850s changing it around and if it does it did
2852s oh my gosh
2854s wait is it swapping it back and forth oh
2856s is that i wasn't told it would do that
2859s but that's what it's doing
2861s it's swapping it back and forth
2864s i don't know if that's a bug or not but
2866s i love it can we keep that team is that
2868s is that okay
2871s oh my gosh but regardless uh the focal
2874s point of swapping passes around is to
2876s implement a different passive than what
2878s was before that's the that's the
2880s overarching thing
2882s that's the overworking thing
2885s cool cool oh my gosh excellent wonderful
2888s fantastic
2890s all right let me jump over to my list
2893s make sure we're getting all the things
2894s covered because there's so much we are
2896s going to have to go back to high risk
2897s areas because i did miss uh
2899s i wanna i'm gonna talk about one new
2901s mutator it's a cool one i really like it
2902s [Music]
2905s devices let's let's discuss devices very
2908s very briefly this should be a fairly
2910s simple one
2912s um but i am going to need particular
2915s devices that require
2917s range
2919s require range so one of the things that
2922s was just added across the board
2925s is that the range has now been listed on
2927s every single device
2929s what yes what a simple thing to do
2933s that helps out so freaking much am i
2935s right
2936s am i right so now you actually know at
2939s what range these things work instead of
2941s if it's only in the description
2943s it's just listed
2945s on every single one uh that has a range
2949s cool
2951s um so for
2953s uh the fusion hook well we these two
2955s should be enough of an example
2958s so also whenever you use the device
2961s and you're not in range
2963s let me just uh get some distance here
2969s [Music]
2971s so when you're not in range
2979s there we go
2981s it's like i'm trying to use this on this
2983s enemy
2985s it says what the range is required
2987s directly on the screen
2992s so now it's not just annoying it's like
2994s out of range punk and you're like well
2995s then what's the range what's the range
2998s give me the range oh my gosh i have to
3000s go in here and do the thing and look at
3001s the no you don't now you can keep flying
3003s around it just tells you 620 meters and
3007s you can very clearly see that it's out
3008s of range so now it's like okay well i
3010s really want to use this so i'm going to
3011s fly into that range
3013s 620 boom hey it works just like it's
3017s supposed to
3018s it's magical everyone rejoices oh my
3021s gosh very subtle but i feel like that is
3025s such a massive quality of life
3027s improvement in just using devices in
3029s general so again any one of the devices
3032s at all that has a range associated with
3034s it you can kind of like see it as i'm
3036s scrolling through all of them it's just
3037s been plugged in right in that middle
3039s section next to the cooldown so you see
3042s exactly what the range is where it's at
3044s obviously that changes when you upgrade
3046s it to
3047s but boom boom boom lots
3049s lots of little uh little things like
3051s that we've been tweaking and modifying
3053s for the summer update that's coming out
3054s this summer
3058s [Music]
3060s let's see
3064s i just have to say i'm loving the hell
3066s out of this game says james rothwell i'm
3068s glad you are about to have a hell of a
3071s lot more fun come this summer update
3073s that's coming out this summer oh my gosh
3076s great great fantastic
3078s and uh speaking of like little
3080s observations and questions let's cruise
3081s through even more questions we got we
3083s got lots from you guys today and um we
3086s have a tweaked new system that allows me
3089s to see them more clearly so if i
3091s accidentally miss one um shout out to
3093s geekbyte who's kind of like cataloging
3095s them on the fly so they don't just get
3097s swept under the rug and you feel ghosted
3099s and then you're sad because nobody likes
3101s to be sad excellent so this one comes
3104s from med bed over on twitch
3106s which was can you show us a location in
3107s union um
3109s was there a specific location you had in
3111s mind
3113s uh otherwise
3114s uh
3117s it looks like for my russian viewer i do
3119s not know
3120s uh
3121s i can't translate it unfortunately but
3123s their question is will we see tier three
3126s ships in the summer update now i have
3128s been told
3129s i have been told that tier three ships
3132s were going to be withheld for future
3134s updates that being said
3136s with how we've been developing
3137s internally
3139s i'm not sure i buy what i've been told
3140s so we'll find out when the startup date
3142s comes out this summer
3144s uh legitimately i don't know all i know
3146s is that we've begun testing of it
3148s internally and that's why you see it in
3149s these builds
3151s but um to my understanding i don't think
3153s that we are supposed to have those
3156s live in the next build
3160s then
3161s next question comes from also youtube uh
3164s uh tinch tinchu sniper
3167s tinchu sniper
3168s uh do you guys have this game on early
3170s access on xbox preview please uh no we
3173s do not
3174s um
3176s as of right now at least i don't think
3178s it is
3184s i think if you have what is the
3186s microsoft
3188s what is that called
3189s [Music]
3193s it's not available on consoles at this
3194s time
3196s that's what i'll say it is not available
3197s on consoles at this time so in the
3200s future it will be we'll have
3201s announcements uh somewhat-ish soon
3205s um and we'll tell you what consoles that
3208s we're aiming to hit for the 1.0 release
3211s and all of that good stuff which is
3213s coming out uh later uh that information
3215s is coming out later this year
3217s [Music]
3219s so in regards to xbox preview something
3222s or other
3223s it's to my understanding we do not
3226s uh the game pass yes
3229s game pass yes but not like the
3233s console specific
3237s then the next question's from sirloin
3239s one two three four how many hours do you
3241s have in every space two good enough
3243s [Music]
3244s i mean it's not even it's not fair to
3246s look at my steam hours uh specifically
3249s for everspace 2 because it goes outside
3251s of that because we've done a lot of
3252s testing from other builds
3254s that weren't uploaded to steam yet um i
3257s think it would be very easy to to say
3260s well over a thousand
3262s but again like developers are investing
3264s a lot of time into their own game so
3266s it's not really that surprising
3270s but uh digress
3272s [Music]
3274s so i asked the question for bearded frog
3277s to figure out a location for me to go
3279s and then i completely ignored what
3280s location you chose
3284s oh my goodness did you choose a location
3287s did we get one
3289s oh my gosh
3293s [Music]
3306s wait that was your q was that your
3307s question brutal frog oh shoot
3309s who asked the question oh no it's med
3311s bed i'm so sorry med bed
3314s med bed did you
3316s uh have a specific location you wanted
3317s me to go to
3318s [Music]
3320s sorry about that
3321s goodness
3322s so many people asking wonderful
3324s questions i gotta take care of you guys
3326s and uh you know
3329s it's nuts it's nuts in here uh i'll
3332s answer another question while you're
3334s answering that med bed
3335s uh when when do we hear more about
3337s device range and renown uh so the device
3340s range i mean we we actually i was just
3342s discussed uh but yeah actually let's
3344s talk about renown
3345s that's great while we're waiting on this
3346s location let's talk about renown
3349s um
3350s what what is this this is renown
3353s and it's definitely different than what
3356s we've had before now this is probably
3360s nothing super crazy i think some of you
3362s guys are gonna be like oh this actually
3363s makes sense uh in short instead of
3366s working up different status between
3370s factions now you have an overarching
3373s renown system of how you are cooperating
3376s in the dmz so through this as you're
3379s accruing renown you're going to gain
3382s new uh benefits and you're going to
3384s unlock specifically in this case uh more
3388s credits handfuls of credits and decals
3390s specialty decals there are still more
3393s tweaking and refinement and probably
3395s additions that will be added to the
3396s renowned system in fact i was talking to
3398s hans christian earlier today about what
3400s some of that looks like so um note that
3403s this is not a fully complete setup but
3406s this gives you a much better
3407s representation of what we are trying to
3409s encompass regarding uh
3412s your progress through the job system the
3415s more you put into jobs the more you're
3416s going to get out of it as you can see
3418s here the benefits
3419s it reads incorrectly it's going to say
3422s higher level job opportunities with
3425s greater rewards are available
3427s so once you complete the professional
3429s status more jobs spring up at higher
3432s levels and jobs will always reward an
3434s item so
3436s if you guys are familiar with doing jobs
3438s sometimes they can only provide
3439s experience and credits which just kind
3441s of stinks so instead we completely
3444s cycled that out and we have the ability
3447s now to
3448s uh always reward
3451s uh an item to a job once you reach the
3453s professional level my daughter snuck
3455s into my office space i have no idea
3457s where my wife is
3459s so say hello
3461s oh absolutely yes this is uh this is my
3464s youngest daughter mercy say hello mercy
3467s to everybody in the stream you're
3468s totally not supposed to be here right
3470s now i'm sorry michael i hope that you
3471s understand i am a father of five
3475s live streams are the best aren't they
3478s you're so cute
3479s i love you
3482s you you ate the seeds
3485s [Music]
3490s anyway
3491s um let's take a quick intermission
3495s oh my gosh
3499s oh my goodness
3501s i know it's a green screen nobody else
3503s can see that oh my gosh one one second
3506s one second oh my goodness we're just
3509s gonna just stare at the chair guys it's
3511s it's great
3512s goodness
3514s oh my gosh
3515s oh the music is going oh my goodness
3518s there we go one second ladies and
3520s gentlemen
3524s [Music]
3538s [Music]
3552s [Music]
3560s [Music]
3574s oh my goodness
3577s what an exciting turn of events today
3580s let me tell you what that's that's the
3581s best isn't it at least it was a child
3584s and not like you know some catastrophic
3587s something else happened all right cool
3594s so
3594s [Music]
3597s uh we were talking about renown and how
3599s the system's basically being changed you
3601s get these benefits all about your jobs
3603s all surrounding your jobs
3605s now i did have a plan to show you a
3607s couple new jobs
3610s but they're not ready
3613s ah what's oh so close we actually did
3616s some testing on some new jobs and then
3618s we had to revoke them because apparently
3619s there were some issues uh but new stuff
3622s is coming on this front as well
3624s surrounding all of this uh but also want
3626s to just kind of like sneak peek into
3628s this elite status renown earned from
3630s jobs is increased by 10 which just helps
3632s you get to that legendary status even
3634s faster and then this one jobs will
3636s always reward an additional item so
3639s uh when you are at the max
3641s level of renown anytime you do a job
3644s you're guaranteed at least two items
3647s you'll have increased credits uh you'll
3649s have like all of the additional benefits
3651s from every single one of these so jobs
3653s can be a sustainable source of uh
3656s looting
3658s in an in-game state because that's
3660s if it's not then what's the point of
3662s doing jobs at all right so
3664s but then in addition to that of course
3665s you're also getting these sweet new
3666s decals
3668s so i do have a save file that is
3670s unfortunately borked and what i mean by
3672s that is i can't show you the decals here
3674s uh i could gimmick this and then show
3676s you like this this decount but each one
3678s um on that front just
3681s just for like everybody to know
3684s we want to add more decals into the game
3686s space and i had some really healthy
3688s discussions with some co-workers
3690s regarding that so that we can get to it
3695s and uh
3696s yeah those will be
3697s delivered probably not by the summer
3700s update
3702s but over time i'm sure we'll have some
3704s more by like the fall update and whatnot
3709s um
3710s and yeah
3719s do you want to go to cartwright's wake
3720s is that where we want to go med bed i
3721s don't i don't know what you said i
3723s missed a lot
3732s you don't see the need since iris drops
3734s the best gear anyway fizard i think
3736s that's a great observation however i
3738s want to provide a slight amount of
3740s context to that and why i think that
3742s there's a different opportunity in the
3743s two different directions because one
3745s when you're doing a high risk location
3748s it is going to take a little bit of time
3749s to build up that boss meter right even
3751s as you saw me earlier even though it's
3753s kind of a fail whale since we had the
3755s bug but um it takes a while to get
3757s through that all right um but then once
3760s you do it gives you a big pocket of
3762s resources of equipment you know versus
3765s jobs which can usually be completed in
3768s well under a minute
3770s in most cases
3772s some of them might take a couple of
3774s minutes
3775s so it really comes down to if you're
3777s looking to like get something really
3779s quick maybe you're going through jobs
3781s and it's like oh they have a star
3782s forward shield i'm just going to knock
3784s this out versus you do a high risk area
3786s you know it's going to be a commitment
3788s but you also know you're going to get a
3790s bunch of stuff
3791s that's random so there's still that
3794s trade-off so it really just comes down
3796s to the type of player you are and what
3797s you're kind of aiming for on my front
3802s it sounds like you will have more fun
3805s going to those high risk areas but it
3806s might not be for everybody
3809s right right
3816s [Music]
3822s going through more questions just really
3824s quickly making sure i'm not missing you
3826s guys you guys have been asking some
3828s really great uh rewards you guys have
3830s been asking some really great questions
3832s today as we've been covering a lot of
3833s content
3834s uh so this one comes from ali alios
3839s off of twitch
3840s what about adding another type of
3842s difficulty for high risk areas for more
3844s rewards so if that's what if that's what
3846s uh uh mutators are effectively so maybe
3849s if we can find some
3851s find some mutant here let's let's go
3853s somewhere do some things garner some
3856s gameplay for the freaking stream and
3858s then also you know go into a high-risk
3861s area that hopefully doesn't uh
3864s burn our ship out through bugs
3868s my goodness
3871s come on give me give me anything
3876s there we go unknown signal perfect we'll
3878s do it
3879s let's see what we get
3883s isn't it supposed to be able to override
3885s all gates this is a fantastic question
3887s from shadowy um so for all intents and
3889s purposes uh the hive unit
3892s is
3893s locked out of that gate
3895s uh because
3897s uh uh it's gamification guys all right
3900s just freaking
3905s we're driving the story forward by
3907s saying you have to find a
3909s back route into zarkov you can't use the
3911s mainline gate you know
3914s take it as you will okay
3916s take it as you will um
3919s it's funny because i had this
3920s conversation with andy like several
3922s weeks ago i was like why can't we access
3923s the gate again i legitimately can't
3925s remember we do have a reason i just i
3927s can't remember the specifics of it
3929s oh my gosh
3932s and i'm the lore guy oh gosh that's
3934s embarrassing lore guy doesn't even know
3936s how to explain the lord all right
3938s can't win them all i guess okay let's
3940s take out some fools
3947s no thanks
3951s i see an elite over here perfect
3956s um
3957s let's get the armor drone out of the
3959s picture
3961s beautiful
3964s i want to get some
3967s high-risk areas
3969s uh higher uh signal decoders
3972s to find high-risk areas
3974s and the best way to do that is from
3976s elites elites have a much greater chance
3979s actually they have the
3980s some of the only chance to drop those
3982s signal decoders
3986s so if you're looking for one
3988s that's what you need to be aiming for
3990s elites and then also completing location
3992s challenges a lot of times there's going
3995s to be like a random container in an area
3998s um
3998s that usually go for the 100 completion
4001s of an area
4002s that will have
4003s signal decoders or ship colors or you
4006s know stuff that you that's a bit more
4009s rare to find
4018s oh thanks alec now make yourself useful
4024s that was two elites
4026s it's a bad luck we should have found one
4028s single decoder from at least two but we
4029s got a third one
4037s come on don't let me down soon decoder
4039s please
4042s please
4048s i suppose more credits will satisfy you
4051s no no hive they won't i didn't want
4053s credits i wanted a signal decoder
4056s okay well that's fine uh
4059s we can always we can always make more
4060s right
4062s goodness gravy this stream today
4065s something's something's in the water
4067s something's funky i don't know
4070s it's weird
4073s what a stream today
4075s but uh i'm just glad you guys are being
4077s present and asking these really solid
4078s questions and making beautiful
4079s observations i appreciate that
4082s i can make a single decoder by the power
4085s of dev capabilities but obviously you
4088s can't craft one so i want to be very
4091s clear on that front if you're thinking
4092s that you can go in here and be like oh
4094s specialty item craft signal decoder no
4097s and that would not that would go against
4098s the design we have planned for high risk
4101s areas and being able to accomplish those
4102s so i want to say that one more time just
4104s be super clear
4105s you will not be able to craft signal
4107s decoders no you would have to find those
4111s uh and that actually is summarized in
4113s two ways the gamification way is that
4115s you actually have to go out and
4116s accomplish tasks in order to find them
4119s and use them but secondly lore wise the
4122s signal decoders in fact decodes a very
4125s particular signal
4127s hence the name of a
4130s location of grouped up enemies whether
4133s it's a meeting location or a base
4135s whatever there's a high risk in you
4137s going there hence why they're called
4139s high risk areas so uh that process is
4143s correct
4144s and crafting one
4146s no
4147s we do not want that so
4149s i'm glad i
4151s explained that poorly through my
4154s development tools so that i could
4155s clarify that i think it's an important
4157s thing to note
4159s no plans to do that
4161s so uh because that i
4165s better hide my screen because i don't
4167s want to show accidental things that
4168s you're not supposed to see so i'm just
4170s gonna generate a couple of high risk
4172s area signal decoders real quick so that
4175s uh
4176s we can go do some fun stuff right
4178s because we want we want fun stuff
4180s we want fun stuff
4184s so let me just get a couple and i'm also
4185s gonna try and find
4187s our uh we have a new mutator
4190s [Music]
4197s there we go this one's good this one's
4199s good this one's going to be very
4201s difficult i'm gonna make another one for
4204s us
4205s but uh per usual guys if you are not a
4209s member inside of our discord if you
4211s don't follow us on like youtube so we
4214s post a lot of videos over there
4215s including recaps of every month
4218s of the streams
4219s uh like definitely
4221s poke in and uh see what we kind of like
4224s plug in in all these other locations
4226s discord is very active now
4228s and then also of course even though it's
4230s not listed here i do recommend heading
4232s on over to steam as well and wish
4234s listing everspace 2 for updates to
4236s appear in your news feed on that front
4239s it's very very nice
4242s okay
4243s um so i think i've got i think i've got
4245s two that are really oh my goodness the
4246s music the music has been doubled this
4248s entire time
4251s it's fine it's fine everybody so i've
4252s got two i got two signal decoders here
4255s uh with the new one the new mutator the
4257s trait is called evolution so um as i
4261s said um
4263s kind of like at the beginning of the
4264s stream we added
4266s the weakest link mutator
4269s that would make it to where you could
4272s only target a single foe
4274s and we liked it
4277s but it also
4279s wasn't
4280s fun like we thought it was clever but it
4282s just wasn't enjoyable
4284s so what we did is we said screw this
4287s we ripped it out of the game just
4289s it's gone now chucked that in the
4291s garbage because it was literally
4293s the weakest
4294s link
4295s anyway so then once we did that we
4298s decided well what if we did like this
4300s targeted enemy like a marked enemy that
4302s still had something that could be
4303s valuable to it and uh that's where
4306s evolution comes into play and there
4307s could in fact be a few more mutators
4310s that are utilized like this so um
4313s evolution the marked enemies level is
4316s increased every 15 seconds up to five
4320s times not that's not like mult
4322s multiplicative
4323s it's not like five times its level it's
4325s just five like
4327s one two three four five uh if the enemy
4329s is destroyed a new one is chosen so
4331s there's always gonna be one enemy that
4334s has a much higher level
4336s um and like i said i wanna put emphasis
4338s on this uh this could happen to like we
4341s could have a couple other mutators that
4342s enter the fray in the future
4345s um probably not by the summer update but
4347s after the summer update
4349s that do something similar to a random
4351s enemy yada yada because we do like that
4354s system
4355s uh it was kind of like utilizing cool
4360s uh so i also wanted to try it with the
4363s strength and death on this one because
4365s it could be very interesting but we're
4367s gonna start with evasive corrosive death
4370s and evolution so enemies are gonna be a
4372s bit harder to kill and if i fly through
4374s corrosion i'm probably gonna die and
4375s it's gonna be sad
4379s but we're gonna pop both of those
4385s i think we're gonna go with this star
4387s forge shield
4388s i think it's just straight better
4390s honestly
4398s i think we're also going to do these
4399s intuitive homing missiles
4408s yeah
4410s we're also going to do that
4413s and i'm just going to clean up
4417s that's technically better whoops
4420s well you know what can you do
4424s hmm
4428s that's a lot of extra
4430s energy to the engines
4433s that's a lot of extra that's super fast
4437s of course i would only be able to
4438s utilize that if i had a really good
4440s recharge booster that was applicable to
4442s its name uh this is a moment where i'm
4444s highlighting a change to an item by the
4446s way so the recharge booster uh suffered
4450s dearly in regards to its capability to
4452s recharge
4453s versus the other boosters now we kind of
4456s took a quick like
4458s we analyzed the different boosters very
4460s briefly like the standard one the cruise
4461s booster and the recharge booster and
4463s what we discovered is that the standard
4465s booster um
4466s it actually has like it increases your
4469s uh speed
4471s a bit
4472s better than the other two then the
4474s charge booster has a natural bonus to
4477s the speed even though its speed bonus is
4480s equivalent to the recharge booster but
4482s then the recharge booster had no
4484s benefits at all to its speed
4486s so the other two were technically faster
4488s than the recharge booster but the
4489s recharge booster's intent was to
4491s recharge faster right so it does
4494s recharge faster because the uh the
4496s recharge
4497s speed
4498s is vastly superior on the recharge
4501s booster to the other two however the
4503s recharge delay
4505s was a second
4506s longer
4508s so the recharge delay on a standard
4510s booster and on a cruise booster is one
4513s second and the recharge
4515s booster
4516s had a two second
4518s recharge delay
4521s it didn't feel good so uh talked with
4523s hans christian he was like actually this
4525s could be a good solution we've made the
4527s recharge delay on the recharge booster
4530s less than a second
4532s so even though it doesn't have the same
4534s speed capabilities of the others to
4536s now this one should be able to be used
4539s more frequently because of how much more
4541s it's recharging for you
4545s makes sense i hope so
4548s because that's what we're using and
4549s that's what we did so it recharges
4552s faster means you can boost with it
4553s longer and when you stop it recharges
4556s faster at a much faster base so that you
4558s can boost longer
4560s so you're technically going slower but
4562s you're boosting for longer periods of
4563s time just get it
4565s good
4570s we're happy with it that's that's all
4572s i'm saying testing with it has been very
4574s good
4575s and now uh like for the first time
4578s union signal decoder perfect
4581s that's hilarious
4582s uh
4583s now i have a much more difficult
4585s decision of which particular booster i'm
4587s using because they each have their own
4588s sort of niche now the recharge booster
4591s is nice because you can always be
4592s boosting very great for light ships and
4596s their quick uh mobility
4599s uh because having that recharge back
4601s into the fray is uh is nice
4604s versus the cruise which just gets you
4605s out of situations entirely
4611s and
4612s the um
4613s and the standard booster which is just
4615s kind of an all-around kind of does
4616s everything well but doesn't really push
4619s the bounds on any point either
4624s all right all right
4626s so we're going to this high risk area
4628s we're going to have a go at it
4633s [Music]
4648s we'll see how we do
4661s oh i just got i just got just a very
4663s quick uh question but i do want to be i
4665s want to be uh really
4667s really clear in how i answer this so
4669s faizard says i'd assume pretty much
4670s everyone had here has superior gear on
4672s their ship so why not put max gear for
4674s these streams so i love this question
4676s for two reasons one i was actually doing
4679s that up until we
4681s re-categorized how
4683s different item tiers are distributed in
4685s the game space
4686s um and so
4688s because we are re-categorizing that i
4691s have now outfitted my ship according to
4695s what an authentic build would look like
4698s in your travels up to this point okay
4701s now i say that because this particular
4703s save uh
4705s isn't an authentic progression all the
4707s way through i've started a new save i'm
4709s not quite to level 23 yet but on my
4712s progress there the equipment that i've
4714s been gaining uh has mostly been
4717s uncommons and every now and then i'll
4718s get a rare
4720s but i have only seen like one superior
4722s and that's it
4725s um and we've done this for a number of
4727s reasons uh but in short it's kind of
4729s help ironing out the itemization
4732s progression as a whole and so what you
4735s see on this ship right now
4738s is much more attuned to what an
4741s authentic level 23 space would probably
4744s look like that's completed the tasks and
4746s the challenges that i've currently done
4748s in this game space
4751s uh so yeah that's why now obviously you
4753s can still grind out whenever you reach
4755s your maximum level limitation
4758s and probably get all the superiors for
4760s sure
4763s but
4764s uh i don't feel that that would be the
4766s best representation
4769s in the live stream
4772s because i want to show you the
4774s difficulty
4775s that we are invoking here as well
4781s which is rather clear in this particular
4783s high-risk area
4816s something i
4817s just now realized is i showed that
4819s demonstration of this device i haven't
4820s even upgraded it i'm gonna have to wait
4822s for that to get off and cool down so i
4824s can cycle it out for something else
4829s i also just caught another quick
4831s question
4832s the corner of my eye about upgrading
4834s sony decoder rarity and no we uh we
4836s don't have that either
4838s that is not in the plant that's not
4840s something we would like to do
4854s all right so we're gonna hot swap our
4856s device
4858s and get ourselves something a little bit
4859s more potent for this situation
4863s all right
4865s oh new music by the way
4869s new uh high risk area of music
4872s can appear there are also going to be
4873s some combat tracks that can also just
4876s generate for the higher scariest but it
4877s does have some unique music like this
4879s too
4880s yeah this is a great track
4883s goodness
4885s and just to make sure i'm not like
4886s missing all the questions oh my gosh
4893s okay cool
4894s so
4896s couple quick questions to answer and
4897s then i'll get back into the high risk
4898s area uh any plans for space fishing
4901s mini-game you are rock fish after all
4903s her uh that comes from caden thank you
4906s kaden i love you dearly uh
4909s no
4912s the closest you're gonna get to fishing
4914s uh is this right here
4917s where it's like oh
4919s uh i want i want this ship to come to me
4923s aha fishing there you go that's that's
4925s about it uh do you guys tinker with the
4927s kunai animation it used to do some sort
4929s of distortion before tethering enemies
4931s and now it's just a straight line did it
4933s has that been changed if it has i
4934s haven't noticed it um
4937s i don't i i haven't heard anything about
4939s that uh particular element getting
4941s adjusted excelsior so i don't believe so
4944s jobs need to be a sustainable source of
4945s loot for the end game but what exactly
4946s is the end game
4948s [Music]
4950s yeah i think that's a fantastic question
4951s i think that one could get very
4954s semantical
4955s is that a word semantical
4958s we could go over semantics regarding
4960s what in-game versus post game looks like
4962s okay um but in short when i say in-game
4965s it really means
4967s whenever you start veering into the end
4969s of the gameplay's campaign and
4971s everything after that so in game
4974s includes post game
4976s right
4976s so just that clarity uh and yeah we
4979s would like jobs to be at least on some
4982s degree
4982s desirable in that in-game state because
4986s if it's not desirable then why have it
4988s in the game at all
4991s like a legitimate question it wouldn't
4994s make sense for us
4995s to have something in the game that isn't
4998s functional and isn't fun when there's
5000s better stuff to do right so that's why
5002s we are approaching and readdressing uh
5006s not only the renowned system to make
5009s jobs more appealing but also to uh have
5012s them more valuable
5014s as well
5016s that's a good question i like that
5018s question
5019s all right so now i need to uh
5022s take out some foes
5024s probably
5025s before i died
5028s which is very likely going to happen
5030s because this level 28 frodo scout
5032s oh my gosh this evolution mutator is
5035s mean
5036s oh and now we got a map cap but we gotta
5038s take him out quick oh no oh no
5044s okay yeah
5054s so yeah with evolution it's definitely
5057s something where you want to make sure
5058s your uh
5060s targets that are
5062s being addressed
5064s are taken out otherwise they can become
5066s incredibly dangerous because that level
5068s the level 28 oh my gosh
5071s that could be
5072s painful
5074s it might have been the way that we uh
5076s lost our shields out the first time
5097s i see a drone carrier we'll head over
5098s that direction
5108s let's try and get in range and make all
5111s the drones go away oh my gosh
5113s emp ladies and gentlemen can be used in
5116s such a cheeky
5118s capacity
5120s i love it
5132s goodness
5134s and we are dead
5137s i don't know what got me it was probably
5138s an involved enemy that i wasn't paying
5140s attention to because they can
5142s killed by
5144s nothing excellent
5146s i just
5147s it was too much for me the stress the
5149s impact of stress itself just boom took
5152s me out oh my gosh so we get this we get
5154s this little reprieve to answer some more
5156s questions so you can see like as i am
5159s pushing the bounds of like where you
5161s should be at gameplay-wise with the gear
5164s at this level and doing these high-risk
5165s locations that are superior um it's
5168s gonna prove to be a challenge uh even
5171s for some of the more robust players out
5173s there
5175s obviously i'm not the best player of
5176s this game in the world uh and i'm never
5179s even gonna claim that i've seen some of
5180s you guys and you've got impressive
5182s skills
5183s but we are taking the difficulty system
5185s rather seriously and if you want a
5187s challenge boost it up to very hard and
5189s it's going to be we want it to be an
5192s authentic challenge okay
5194s uh
5195s here's a question alec is the father of
5197s 26 is it 26 or 23 i forget i can't
5200s remember the exact number
5202s just imagine what it might be like for
5204s him i know right
5205s crazy
5206s crazy
5207s i have a suggestion instead of speed of
5209s time how about time compression um i'm
5211s not sure
5213s what that's relevant to uh dominic troy
5215s my apologies
5218s but absolutely follow up with me on that
5219s front i'd be delighted to uh
5221s you know
5225s follow up
5226s uh then let's see what else we got
5229s here let's also get off the death screen
5231s because it's making me feel bad uh like
5232s it's good to humble yourselves ladies
5234s and gentlemen but my goodness
5236s [Music]
5237s uh
5238s oh let's go let's go
5243s didn't i have another save that i wanted
5244s to show some stuff in
5247s probably
5250s it's too many saves i've got too many
5252s saves we're just gonna we're gonna go
5253s back into this one again
5257s michael says it is 26 all right perfect
5259s excellent
5265s really nice camera angle added to the
5266s back thrust strafing i did oh yeah yeah
5269s no i think that's been all coming
5271s together fairly well um all right so now
5273s that the music's calmed down and and not
5276s depressing uh let's answer just a couple
5278s more questions and then i think we're
5280s actually gonna take just uh because
5282s things are going the way they are uh and
5284s i wanna make sure that i'm covering all
5285s the topics uh we'll kind of take a bit
5288s of a breather here and transition into
5291s uh let's see what else do we have i
5292s think we covered all the topics
5294s we did we nailed it we got all the
5297s topics uh which is good
5300s um
5301s so we might have some bonus time uh to
5303s do some stuff so because of that i think
5305s in just a couple minutes here we're
5306s gonna transition over to community
5308s screenshots
5310s uh to get those kind of out of the way
5311s and then we'll jump back into maybe some
5313s fun stuff um
5315s if i still have permission i hope i i
5317s hope i do we're not i'm not going to ask
5319s michael i'm not going to look to see his
5320s response i think he'll be fine i'm sure
5322s it will be
5325s uh okay
5327s uh so a couple more questions here um
5330s and then we'll transition over to
5331s screenshots
5333s would a glass cannon mutator be off the
5335s table one that left you with one total
5336s hp but 100 boost to dps for example um
5340s so
5341s it's an interesting one it's i like the
5343s concept of it but actually i think that
5345s would go against some of the ideas that
5347s we have in mind like that's like for
5350s those of you who want those really
5351s intense challenges and that's exactly
5354s why we're making stuff like daredevil so
5356s this is a challenge that you can do like
5359s you can follow these daredevil
5360s challenges right uh where it's like you
5362s completing high risk areas by
5364s restricting yourself in some way so one
5366s is complete a high-risk area without
5368s firing a primary weapon one is complete
5370s a high-risk area without using a device
5372s or alt
5374s one which i've completed is complete a
5376s high-risk area without taking damage to
5377s the hole that was before we
5380s changed figures around so that would
5381s actually be pretty difficult and then
5382s complete a high-risk area without having
5385s shield and armor installed um so these
5388s are more for you guys out there who want
5390s that we want to we don't want to put uh
5392s something like that as a mutator because
5394s that could seriously hurt um casual
5397s players um since you know individuals
5399s who would like a mutator like that
5401s you're gonna see a small percentage of
5403s the of the hole and i would see
5406s individuals just go into their inventory
5407s and be like oh scrapping that i don't
5409s want to do that mutator or just selling
5411s it for credits
5413s so it's it's all about that balance
5415s right
5416s uh how much systems will he have to
5417s explore has it procedural of the type
5419s space rpg need more space game uh that
5423s comes from
5424s is that bill farson no that's from
5427s tech news sniper um so at the moment
5432s uh
5432s and the plan so you can see there's
5435s eight here on this map uh but i do want
5437s to manage expectations accordingly the
5439s game plan
5441s um and what we have on our frequently
5443s asked questions
5445s is that uh we are looking to have
5449s i believe
5450s six
5451s star systems at least six planned for
5454s 1.0 release um and you guys do know that
5458s we would love to add post launch dlc
5462s and a premium package aside from
5464s probably a free one
5466s i think
5467s possibly michael correct me if i'm wrong
5469s i think that's what we said publicly i
5471s don't think that's changed um so
5473s uh
5474s it's
5475s very possible that we could create more
5478s systems in the future um outside of the
5482s scope of what we're working on right now
5484s um
5485s and uh if we end up working on those
5488s elements and add more content to the
5490s game and if you want to buy into that
5491s then you know we would have that in the
5493s future
5495s cool
5497s all right um let's see a couple more uh
5500s actually no we need to transition now we
5502s need to transition so i'm going to jump
5504s over to wonderful beautiful screenshots
5507s that you guys have been posting on the
5509s discord specifically um this is
5512s something that i always love to do cause
5514s i mean you guys are seriously awesome on
5517s this front if i'm being completely
5518s honest so uh just doing a really quick
5521s transition here um so one second
5524s um as i get the screenshots pulled up uh
5527s where's my folder
5529s excuse me folder where did you go
5533s [Music]
5539s [Music]
5543s so
5544s now we can go over
5547s here
5548s yeah there it is wonderful
5551s so i got my screenshots that you guys
5553s have taken the fun stuff
5555s what you've been up to
5557s and we will keep answering a couple more
5558s questions this shot comes from the
5561s chemical bro he always has a really good
5562s eye for photography um also
5565s don't know if he color adjusted this one
5568s or if he just like diminished the light
5570s but
5571s very clever and making that very large
5574s rock afar
5576s look
5577s almost like a floating tablet that's
5579s like
5579s it's magical i don't know don't describe
5581s it i just dig it i dig it a lot and you
5583s guys did too you gave it a lot of ups
5585s upvotes and discord which is generally
5587s what i do when i choose these shots by
5589s the way a lot of them you guys chose and
5592s i just like to show them off to the rest
5593s of the world very good
5596s um
5597s so as we're looking at this one we'll
5598s answer a question i'll try to answer a
5600s question when each image is available on
5602s screen
5604s um
5605s regarding the procedural nature of
5607s everspace 2 uh there's not much all
5609s these locations are handcrafted um
5612s most of the locations are handcrafted
5614s there is some procedural usage when it
5616s comes to random locations you're going
5618s to um but it's procedural in the sense
5621s of we're taking assets and kind of
5625s slamming them against one another
5628s and then we'll also have procedural
5630s environments showing up this in the fall
5633s update when we talk more about the
5636s ancient rifts but i'm probably getting
5638s ahead of myself um so
5640s yeah for the actual system discovery
5643s like all that stuff's handcrafted okay
5644s next one why can't i have more than five
5646s signal decoders and are you gonna change
5647s that with update uh you can't have more
5650s more than five
5652s that's actually news to me i don't i
5654s don't hang on to signal decoders i use
5656s them um
5657s so uh i would have to defer to my
5660s co-workers on that front
5661s uh malte do you know why we're limited
5663s to five
5666s oh five active oh well because
5670s because we don't want your map to just
5671s be flooded with
5673s with signals
5675s that's why that's that's honestly why
5680s so yeah we just want them to we just
5682s want to take care of them this next shot
5684s comes from the chemical bro a nice
5685s vertical shot i love the way that this
5688s guy is getting totally destroyed in
5690s front uh with the player just coming
5692s down upon him oh it's great it's
5695s fantastic
5697s but yeah honestly i like legitimately
5699s the only reason why it's limited to
5700s fives is because we just don't want the
5701s map to be overwhelmed but um yeah
5704s chemical bro great work on these shots
5706s per usual he does so many shots it's
5710s kind of silly uh but i would like to say
5712s we have a new challenger entering the
5714s fray when it comes to fantastic
5715s screenshots uh this comes from key sky
5718s and we have i actually chose the most
5720s from ski uh key sky or you guys did for
5723s the stream today uh so we're gonna be
5725s talking a lot about their shots um
5729s will he be able to craft a single
5730s decoder with lower two decoders or
5732s uncraft a high tier signal to go with
5733s perhaps someone like fallen pango who
5734s can work with their hacker match to
5736s break down the more complex patterns of
5737s something that reveals
5739s more
5740s no
5742s we won't we don't want cinderelly
5743s coaches be crafted nope absolutely not
5745s uh but speaking of crafted this base
5747s could certainly do some crafting because
5749s it is in pain
5750s and suffering
5752s ouch i love this location though uh this
5754s is the station that has the alien stuff
5756s that you have to pick up and take back
5757s to sito and uh
5759s uh i remember like the first time that i
5761s went to this location in fact and uh
5763s this this screenshot gives me those
5766s vibes like it's like almost pulling
5767s nostalgia somehow
5769s and i love the way that you're just like
5770s looking out onto the station seeing the
5773s destruction and the minefields that
5775s totally never killed me during a
5777s livestream at all nope no not not once
5780s uh
5781s it's just gorgeous it's very beautiful
5783s so key sky we also have this one which
5785s is also just a fantastic uh shot of
5788s ancient equipment right like
5791s flying into uh a site where magical
5794s stuff is happening this is something
5796s that i could see like on a uh
5799s like you're looking through like a oh my
5801s gosh
5803s one of those
5804s i'm thinking back and like they're super
5806s old like gameplay walkthrough books that
5809s you get and it's like telling you lore
5811s details it's like the ancients like i
5813s could see this at the top of it it's
5815s like no one really knows who or what
5817s they are you know it's like that's where
5818s i could see this and some sort of like
5821s game manual that's like telling you all
5823s the things and all the tr the tricks and
5825s stuff so keith's got a nice shot uh this
5827s this next one too is is a lot of fun um
5830s i'm a big fan of just how
5832s simple
5834s and powerful
5836s this one comes together
5838s you've heard me say it time and time
5839s again but blue and orange are
5841s complementary colors and just seeing
5843s this nebulous
5845s uh
5847s thing
5848s out in space
5849s with these complimentary covers coming
5850s down to the horizon
5852s as you can also see like the details on
5854s the planet like it's there you can see
5856s you can see the detail
5858s like you're you're very
5861s isolated in the grand scheme of
5864s space
5866s and it's kind of pleasant just to sit
5868s back and stare at this it's really nice
5871s when will coalition uh when will
5873s collusion
5874s of the planet slash sun arrive this is a
5877s very strange question from sirloin one
5879s two three four uh i have no idea
5883s i hope not anytime soon
5885s uh then how long exactly
5887s uh approximately will everspace 2 be
5890s this is a question
5892s from tecnu sniper um so the
5895s gameplay regarding the story
5899s should be anywhere between 20 to 30
5901s hours that is the intended game space
5904s duration
5905s from start to finish
5907s only story but we hope that people will
5910s invest time into jobs high-risk areas
5913s side missions upgrades perks uh
5917s you know all the other things to where
5919s you probably have a pretty sound
5922s 50 plus hour investment if you're
5924s purchasing everspace 2.
5927s pretty confident of that actually um so
5930s yeah does any enemy drop item levels
5934s plus five no not at this time um right
5937s now uh this shot comes from gambit
5940s mobile this was one of their first shots
5942s that they took
5943s uh and i just wanted to show it off
5944s because i feel like we should give
5946s praise to people who are trying new
5947s things and taking photos and you know
5949s what this ain't half bad i like the way
5951s it came out your color scheme is
5952s interesting it's particular it
5954s definitely is striking enough to make me
5956s go huh there are colors on this ship so
5959s thank you for that gambit mobile
5961s uh but yeah enemy dropping levels
5964s five tiers high five tiers five levels
5967s higher than you that um might be a
5970s little bit game breaking with how we've
5971s rebalanced the level scaling and how
5973s we've rebalanced uh the level ratios as
5976s a whole so what i mean by that is the
5979s difference between like a level one item
5981s and a level two items not that much but
5983s the difference between like say
5986s a level 22 item and a level 23 item
5988s actually has a little bit more distance
5990s between it you're gonna start feeling
5991s that weight the further you progress
5993s into the game space
5994s so um
5996s dropping a different uh item and then
5999s being able to like use it
6001s by modifying it down that would
6004s that could be a major problem so
6006s probably is that's never gonna happen
6008s not five levels different i think the
6010s most we've had
6011s um even through development and testing
6013s was three
6015s and i think that would probably be the
6017s max that we go
6018s maybe
6019s maybe marco's shaking his head going
6021s nope eric that's wrong but don't tell
6022s him anyway
6024s it's fine what's the max level for the
6026s drake update i love that question and
6028s the answer
6030s um is
6031s it's higher than the spring update
6038s i can't reveal that yet you guys don't
6040s know how far it's going but you know
6042s what keys guys got another entry in here
6045s in the freaking screenshot category it's
6047s delightful it's lovely it's wonderful
6049s and uh
6051s it's these shots where you just kind of
6053s like look out into the game space that i
6056s am drawn to just these almost
6058s environmental shots like you can see
6060s like you can tell a story from the shot
6062s and seeing the interactions that the gmb
6064s have everything from
6066s uh they have bad drivers to
6069s uh they don't really
6070s super care too much about the
6072s environmental hazards they're creating
6074s they just want the resources and they
6076s are clearly a larger conglomerate inside
6079s of the dmz right um you have all of
6081s these little interactions going on and
6083s more
6084s just from a simple screenshot that puts
6086s the focus on them instead of on the
6087s player ship which is literally blurred
6089s out of the picture through the depth of
6091s field so nice nice job on that front key
6094s sky definitely dig it we got one from
6097s med bed
6100s i love these cockpit shots i really do i
6103s love how you're just like looking out
6104s the side and it almost like this looks
6106s like you're in flight with them like
6108s you're also because of your color scheme
6110s for your ship
6112s you're a bloody outlaw aren't you you're
6114s you're in league with this guy and i
6115s love it i love it because you're
6117s creating your own story um and i also
6121s just love that side look out of the
6122s cockpit too it just adds that extra
6125s level of immersion that
6126s you know especially those who play in
6128s first person mode desire so nicely
6131s captured shot
6132s well the rarity of a signal decoder make
6134s any difference to the encounter yes can
6136s you increase the rarity of decoders
6138s crafting no um so the rarity of the
6141s civil decoder means more mutators that's
6143s the big thing more mutators it has the
6145s more or mu more
6147s uh
6148s tiers it has the higher tier it has
6150s the higher the tier the more mutator it
6153s has goodness uncommon has one
6155s rare has two superior has three
6158s technically if there was a legendary
6160s signal decoder it would have four i
6162s legitimately don't know if that's gonna
6164s happen or not
6165s legitimately don't know if that's gonna
6166s happen or not that's not even a tease so
6168s if you're expecting that all of a sudden
6170s because i said words out of my mouth
6172s don't
6173s legitimately don't know if that's gonna
6175s happen or not so uh excellent
6178s this next shot
6180s comes from highbarf
6182s i didn't get a lot from high barf but i
6184s tried to choose the one the community
6185s liked the most uh also loved the cockpit
6188s shots of course in a light fighter the
6190s the lighter frame i think that it
6191s contrasts really nicely here so you can
6193s see more of the scenic height nebula
6197s uh let's see will we ever get photo mode
6199s in super light
6200s [Laughter]
6204s andy
6207s andy do you know that one andy are you
6208s here
6209s legitimately don't know
6212s legitimately
6213s do not know i uh if i recall correctly
6216s there was
6219s we had somebody who tampered with game
6221s files
6223s and they found a way to take photos in
6225s super light mode
6227s so i wouldn't put it off the table
6231s but um it's certainly not a focal point
6234s for us right now because like we're
6235s generating content we're not just like
6237s oh hey i have time to chill i'm gonna go
6238s mess with this and try to make this
6240s happen so
6241s please don't think that my saying
6244s somebody just made it happen means that
6245s it's super easy to do nay i say to be
6248s we have a focus we have deadlines which
6251s is why the game will be released in a
6252s 1.0 state the beginning of next year um
6256s so
6257s yeah
6259s just keep that in mind
6260s [Music]
6262s uh
6263s is there any claustrophobic
6266s map design yeah there are certain
6268s locations that are very tight corridors
6271s um if you find the entry points and
6273s whatnot that's very much something that
6274s we desire to do
6276s this one comes from the chemical bro by
6277s the way uh nice vertical shot we're also
6280s going to see this one more time in his
6281s fan art i believe because he dulled this
6283s up a little bit further
6286s uh but yeah
6287s uh hang on one second
6290s now i just get a ping
6292s i think i might have gotten additional
6294s information on the topic that i perhaps
6296s maybe missed
6297s one second just checking things
6300s [Music]
6303s okay
6304s um
6305s everything's good
6309s but uh yeah there are some
6311s tight chasms and whatnot uh in fact i
6314s might be able to show you an example of
6315s that um
6317s i could probably do that really quick
6319s yeah let's let me let me hang on a
6321s second let's do this
6322s uh i want to give you a really beautiful
6325s example
6328s of some
6330s really cool things
6332s in the game so let me just pull this up
6335s as of right now
6347s surprise
6354s if you haven't started seeing on steam
6355s yet
6358s the summer update
6359s experimental
6361s is here
6366s and everything that we've discussed in
6368s today's stream
6370s isn't it
6373s but we're not done we're not done
6376s we're not done because of course
6380s in a week's time
6382s we'll have the full update
6385s so please please please
6388s if you are playing the experimental
6391s slap us a message
6393s go to the forums
6395s pick it apart
6397s bring us your feedback because we want
6399s to fine-tune this
6402s so that it can reach fruition in the
6404s best way possible
6407s okay
6410s okay
6416s nice
6420s i can also show an example of
6421s claustrophobic uh map design but i
6423s figured i'd be cheeky and do that too uh
6427s but yeah and then uh the only other
6430s question that i have at the moment is
6431s will there be ancient weapons like in
6433s everspace one that's that's kind of
6435s telling unfortunately um
6437s because if i were to say yes then i
6441s think that implies
6442s uh like a certain direction that we want
6444s to take the game space but if i say no
6446s that kind of sounds lame and like we are
6448s missing an opportunity so um
6451s i can't really answer the question
6453s i will not deny that we have had those
6456s internal discussions regarding what um
6460s what could potentially be accruing from
6462s an ancient construct or having something
6465s like that on the ship um but
6468s i want to be incredibly clear here don't
6470s know if that's going to happen or not
6471s like this is something that's just on a
6473s very conceptual sort of
6476s would this be a good addition or not
6479s phase so
6481s yeah keep that in mind
6483s keep that in mind so yeah uh we are
6485s absolutely inspiring experimental now
6487s though 100
6489s and everything that i've shown you like
6491s it's all it's all live from the
6492s mainframe expansions to the like the
6494s borders around equipment i mean that's
6496s not you know anything too crazy but the
6499s hive startup delays absolutely is
6502s present and also let's talk about level
6504s 25 which we'll be reaching
6506s um because level 25 has three new perks
6509s that you will be grabbing the first one
6511s is called
6512s retaliation and this allows you to
6515s reflect 30 of incoming damage back to
6517s your attackers not 30 damage that hits
6519s your shield specifically or your armor
6521s specifically or your hole specifically
6523s is 30 of incoming damage
6525s all of it back to your attackers okay
6529s the second one is called exploitation
6531s this one
6532s increases your critical hint chance by
6535s 50
6537s when attacking enemies whose movement
6540s is impaired
6541s okay
6542s now i want to be super clear on that
6544s front when it says 50 increased critical
6547s hit chance
6548s that means that it takes
6551s that value up here
6553s so in my case 18.9 and increases that
6557s value by 50
6559s of it
6560s it doesn't add 50 so that does not
6563s become 68.9
6566s that would instead become approximately
6570s 37.8 percent i think somewhere around
6572s there
6574s uh no that's that would be double no so
6575s it'd be it'd become
6577s math is hard it would be
6579s it ended up being coming somewhere
6580s around like 27 28
6584s about 28
6585s because it's adding 50 on to it
6589s okay
6591s uh so that's what that means and then
6592s the last perk that you will then gain
6594s access to
6595s is called preparation uh this one's a
6598s lot of fun especially if you're in a
6600s bomber every second you gain five
6601s percent increased secondary weapon
6603s damage stacking up to six times thirty
6607s percent increase to your damage of your
6609s secondary straight up
6611s uh but it does reset when you take
6613s damage so uh really useful for bombers
6616s also surprisingly useful for vindicators
6619s because you're generally not taking
6620s damage so even though they have one
6622s secondary weapon slot it can prove to be
6624s very powerful if you got your drones
6627s distracting your foes so uh obviously
6630s i'm sure you guys will find other ways
6632s to bring those into the fray but those
6634s are the three new perks that you will be
6637s able to have access to if you reach
6638s level 25
6641s uh and uh yeah surprise
6644s i hope that you're all excited about the
6646s experimental um i do see the question
6649s about is the experimental only available
6650s on on steam
6653s yes the experimental is only available
6655s on steam simply put
6657s steam
6658s is the only platform that has the
6660s capabilities of the experimental branch
6665s that's what it comes down to so yeah so
6666s we utilize that on steam uh nothing
6669s against anyone else it's just that we
6670s have the opportunity so we're gonna take
6672s it we use it on steam so those are on
6673s steam absolutely you have access to that
6676s experimental branch it's very easy to
6678s get into if you need help on doing that
6680s ask somebody in the community i'm sure
6681s they can guide you to it it's so super
6683s duper easy
6684s uh join the discord to do that by the
6686s way
6686s ha
6687s incentivized you
6689s to get in there wonderful all right
6691s uh let's see the was there was there
6694s something else i missed i probably
6695s missed something
6696s uh i think we covered all the topics
6698s including our little secret one yeah
6701s so we're good i think we're good
6703s yeah so uh now with that being said we
6705s can kind of go back in and show like
6707s some more screenshots that you guys did
6709s we got some time
6711s we got some time but yeah i think that
6715s you will you guys should have a very
6716s pleasant time
6718s uh waiting
6720s since you know we've got uh the
6722s experiment well since we got these we
6724s got these screenshots to show while
6725s you're waiting for experimental press
6727s words are hard okay ah man my brain is
6729s starting to my brain's starting to fade
6731s oh that will that look trippy let's uh
6733s fix this all right cool
6735s so uh now we're gonna go into the last
6738s bits of the screenshots while the
6739s experimental branch is pleasantly
6741s downloading in the background for all
6743s y'all
6744s all y'all
6745s oh man if that's not revealing of my
6747s childhood i don't know what is all right
6749s this one comes from dark chaos dark
6751s chaos has a lot of these sweeping
6753s environmental locations and as i
6754s previously mentioned i love them so i
6756s included here it's nice it's fun
6761s and of course i
6763s need to access hang on a second hang on
6765s a second
6767s where did my where did my document go
6769s okay so everything's fine everything's
6771s good all right cool
6772s everything's fine
6774s perfect so we have dark chaos there
6778s then we also have drivelive who took
6780s this shot with nice pretty colors and
6783s you guys liked it um this shot bothers
6785s me i'm gonna be honest uh it bothers me
6788s for a number of reasons one
6790s uh
6791s one
6794s two
6796s colors
6797s uh
6798s aren't consistent and what it's firing
6800s out it's blue
6801s it should be firing blue then right ah
6805s oh my gosh three
6807s um
6811s uh you can tell that the pilot's not in
6813s the cockpit that really bothers me all
6814s right that's very unfortunate
6817s so those are that's really what i i just
6819s i don't don't like out of this uh but
6822s also fun fact fun fact i'm sure that
6824s somebody caught this but this is this is
6826s from everspace one by the way um i had
6828s to do a double take because i
6830s legitimately thought this was from
6831s overspace too and i was like wait how
6833s did they
6834s how did we get this effect and like what
6835s location is this from no it's from
6837s everspace one so i think that was a
6838s really great shot from drive live
6840s um
6841s there's a couple telling features of it
6843s that make it
6844s stand out as everspace uh one
6848s and i'm sure you guys can probably
6849s notice it that's good stuff
6853s um
6856s oh michael also provides some quick
6857s clarity so i'm gonna read that aloud um
6860s he says i think there'd be a way to have
6862s experimental builds on gog too but since
6865s gog pilots are less than two percent
6867s it's unfortunately it's too much of a
6870s hassle
6871s um
6873s so thanks for that thanks for that
6875s clarity i but i don't even think
6877s michael i don't think they even have
6878s that capability i to my understanding i
6880s didn't think that was part of the
6882s build distribution regardless it's it's
6884s only it's only on steam
6886s but you only have to wait a week if you
6888s don't have steam if you have it on gog
6889s you only have to wait a week and then
6891s we'll have the full blown update so rest
6894s assured patience is a virtue and it will
6896s all come together we're going to make
6898s sure everyone is very well pleased uh
6900s jay narl
6902s had this one uh it had some the name was
6904s something about i must race or something
6906s like that and
6908s you know i thought this was
6910s i really like the way this one comes
6912s together
6913s for
6914s for the one fact that like nobody takes
6916s photos of the race rings
6920s like nobody takes photos of the race
6922s rings and the way it was taken here i
6924s had to do a double take because i was
6926s like what effect is that is he using a
6928s device
6929s like how is this happening it's because
6931s the alignment of the shot coming into
6933s the ship which i thought was actually
6935s his thrusters
6938s and then it's the space
6940s perfectly aligned in the circle as he's
6942s going through the race so
6945s i liked the way that you brought that
6946s together jane arnold is those are that's
6948s a really clever shot
6949s very well done
6951s very well done so kudos to that i love
6953s it how you're thinking outside the box
6955s um i love i love these shots i love this
6957s it's really good
6960s uh then we also have another one from
6962s key sky
6964s i don't even have to use words this is
6966s just
6966s that's that's fantastic so as this one's
6969s sitting here and you guys are probably
6970s generating more questions which is great
6972s um
6973s i also do want to point out um something
6977s that's a little bit unfortunate i'm not
6979s i actually am not 100 happy about this
6982s but
6983s i am not going to be able to stream next
6986s week um so
6988s whenever the whole full-blown update
6990s goes live i'm not gonna be here now now
6994s now whoa
6995s hang on a second hang on a second i want
6998s to give you some hope i want to give you
6999s some love because we have been talking
7002s uh with
7003s geek bites who've i've already given
7006s praise during this stream who's been
7008s helping catalog your questions so they
7009s don't get lost um he's actually going to
7013s take one for the team and stream for you
7015s guys next week so when the update does
7017s officially go live for all of you guys
7020s who don't quite have access to it yet
7022s which it is a small number of you guys
7024s but still like once that full-blown
7025s package goes live and the additions that
7028s we haven't revealed yet
7030s have been implemented he'll be able to
7033s talk more on that subject matter and
7036s he'll be able to show you some gameplay
7038s where he's at and maybe even start
7040s diving into some of that new content as
7043s well so
7045s uh so not all is lost uh just
7047s unfortunate
7049s personal events um so cool

7184s brilliant
7184s not only
7186s is it just like
7188s you know taking this location from an
7190s authentic level of i just want to crap
7192s all over this place
7194s uh but it's also stylized where you have
7197s the the bomber is legitimately flying
7199s away so it's like the bomber
7201s did its job
7203s very
7204s very excellent like it bombed and it's
7207s leaving like
7208s oh my gosh and it looks like this thing

7222s for sharing this excel
7224s that is
7226s oh that's that's fantastic it's
7227s phenomenal
7229s so very good
7231s oh i also saw a question for geekbytes
7232s specifically asking if he could beatbox
7234s this
7236s oh my gosh
7238s some things i don't miss geekbike good
7240s luck on that front oh my gosh uh
7244s very nice very nice but yeah this this
7246s is personal like one of my favorite
7248s shots just how it all comes together
7249s i've already got it saved for use on my
7251s phone uh
7253s wonderful shot
7254s absolutely wonderful shot
7257s uh we got flory who definitely needs to
7260s get to a dock
7261s because that that don't look so good uh
7264s we got some cracks in the window uh we
7267s got a little bit just just a tad bit of
7271s scraping uh some paint was coming off
7274s just right there it's not bad just a
7275s little bit of paint so i'll have to
7277s touch up the paint a little bit
7278s otherwise feel like you're in pretty
7280s good shape but you probably should
7282s repair
7284s uh somewhere
7286s but man i
7287s you know i've very much enjoyed like the
7289s process of mesh design over the top of
7293s the assortment of ships that come out of
7294s the picture um because every one of
7296s these it just
7300s can i do a side rail i'm gonna do a
7301s quick side rant you know those racing
7303s games
7305s you know those racing games where you
7306s crash and your car doesn't take any
7308s damage at all i grew up on that crap
7311s okay every time it happens like man i
7313s wish there was like authentic car damage
7315s this sucks it's so lame and then like
7318s you started getting some of those video
7319s games where it's like you would bump
7320s into the side of something your wheel
7321s would start like wobbling your car door
7323s would have a dent or your oh my gosh i
7325s was like this is amazing i love this
7327s didn't you i wasn't even like in it for
7329s the immersion i just wanted to like
7331s break my car i don't know why so i get
7334s so much joy
7336s out of seeing visual change
7339s when
7340s something is awry when something's wrong
7342s um so yeah i love how this is captured
7345s from flory oh my gosh and rants oh
7348s so hope you guys do appreciate that too
7351s because i think there was a lot of
7352s really healthy good work that came out
7353s of it bill farson who's been in the
7355s stream asking some questions we got a
7357s shot from you
7358s this one uh specifically identifying the
7361s thorians the thorian worms
7365s and all of their nasty
7367s whatever you want to call it uh in their
7369s natural habitat so uh great shot i love
7373s it comes together well speaks for itself
7377s very good very good
7379s um and then last but not least we have
7382s key sky again with just a shot let's
7384s just soak this in just soak this in
7387s just let let your eyes absorb it because
7389s it's
7392s yeah it's fantastic isn't that great
7394s it's not a great shot
7396s i love it i dig it i dig it so much
7398s oh my gosh but anyway so last points of
7401s notes last last points of
7405s man i don't know what's going on my
7407s brain today but it is not at a 100
7409s capacity
7410s oh boy
7411s last
7412s note
7413s for you all
7415s when you dive into the experimental i
7416s seriously want to stress this
7420s there have been so many
7424s back end changes
7427s there have been so many adjustments
7430s to the systems that have been in place
7432s that i
7434s very highly
7436s recommend
7438s you start a new save file
7440s now keep in mind that because of the
7442s saving system you should more than ever
7445s be able to hold on to your
7447s other save file as well right you that's
7450s gonna stay there you don't have to
7452s delete the one you've been working on
7454s but starting a new save file and
7455s experiencing this game from the ground
7457s up with these new additions
7460s it is a it's seriously a game changer
7462s like internally we've been talking about
7464s like
7465s the problems between like levels six to
7468s ten there were lots of them
7470s and with marco's improvement to the
7472s leveling as uh like the scaling of the
7475s equipment and how those numbers are
7477s calculated and also rebalancing the
7478s progression thereof and also making
7481s adjustments to various enemy capacities
7484s and hbs and like all of that stuff and
7487s then the slew of changes across the
7489s board for like
7491s there's so much that is different
7494s than what you would have experienced the
7495s first time you went through it
7497s so again i seriously strongly encourage
7500s you guys to start a new game
7503s with this experimental branch because
7505s through that and what you experience
7508s it's going to be
7510s very proving if the game is in a really
7512s good spot
7514s or if we need to
7516s backtrack a little bit and correct
7518s things and your feedback helps us do
7520s that
7521s so if you're diving into an older save
7523s file the one that you have just been
7524s playing and you continue where you're at
7527s it could end up being a little bit wonky
7529s because of all those changes but if you
7531s start a new save game you're gonna
7532s experience the way it's intended and
7534s that's gonna help us flourish from your
7537s feedback okay
7539s so
7540s thank you for letting me say that i know
7541s that we are over time now um but yeah
7544s that's those are the big things uh just
7547s really really encourage you guys to
7549s start a new save game um when you dive
7552s into the vast number of changes that
7554s have accrued um but otherwise
7558s go have fun this weekend i know there
7560s was somebody on the discord who was like
7562s thought that i was implying that it was
7563s going to be later for the experimental
7565s build and now i feel bad uh but yeah
7567s it's live like it's legitimately live
7569s you can go play it this weekend uh
7571s started crew and feedback the
7572s experimental build closes
7574s approximately one week from today when
7577s the update goes live so
7580s give us your feedback go to those forums
7582s go freaking hog wild as they say uh and
7586s we'll look forward to having geekbite
7588s entertain you next week because i'll be
7590s out and that's that's all i got so you
7593s guys have been crazy awesome today with
7596s all of your questions um i'm gonna
7598s answer this last one the last one are
7600s there differences from experimental to
7602s the full update in one week and our save
7604s files forward and backward compatible
7605s technically save files are forward and
7607s backward compatible uh but it can still
7610s generate a lot of issues and we do not
7611s want to address issues from save uh file
7614s compatibility since there is gonna be a
7615s wipe the wipe is very intentional so
7617s that we don't have to do that it's a lot
7619s of extra time to make sure every single
7621s save file works um
7623s but uh
7624s carrying over data it should absolutely
7628s work but you're gonna pull over
7631s weirdness too you'll have items that
7633s have values that they shouldn't have uh
7635s you will have um if you have been
7638s thorough you'll actually have extra
7640s mainframe expansions uh you will have
7643s there's gonna be weirdness okay um and
7646s just keep that in mind
7648s but uh yeah when the experimental goes
7651s live the uh or excuse me when the update
7654s goes live there will be further
7655s improvements from the experimental um so
7658s yeah
7659s there you go that's what you need to
7660s know that's where you need to go as i
7663s was saying you guys have been awesome
7665s thank you so much for all of your
7666s questions i have been eric schrader your
7669s community ambassador your guide and your
7671s servant through all things everspace two
7674s don't stop being awesome and have one
7676s heck of a good time with the
7678s experimental branch this week
7680s all right well into next week i should
7682s say okay okay okay toodles
7699s [Music]
7707s [Music]
7718s [Music]
7723s [Applause]
7724s [Music]
7738s make sure you oh crap oh my goodness
7742s there we go now i'm tough make sure you
7745s guys
7746s take wonderful beautiful photos during
7749s your experimental travels
7751s and when you do
7753s add the spoiler tag and discord
7756s all right
7757s we want to tease those who can't play
7760s the experiment
7762s oh my gosh
7764s oh but no sincerely please put spoiler
7767s tags if you are going to post your
7768s screenshots but also post your
7770s screenshots i am looking forward to
7772s seeing what you guys put together um i
7775s don't know if we'll have a segment for
7776s geekbyte to share screenshots next week
7778s so probably don't have that expectation
7780s okay uh but the week after that we'll
7782s absolutely get cracking into that stuff
7784s highlight what you guys have been
7786s experiencing what you've been taking uh
7788s it'll be a fantastic ride all right so
7792s uh yeah that's that's really all i got
7794s other than the fact that everspace 2 is
7796s in an early access phase and if you wish
7799s list us you'll know if it ever goes on
7801s sale from time to time again it can
7804s which is important to note because the
7805s price will go up at the 1.0 release that
7809s is right so
7810s if you want to invest in the game as
7813s cheaply as possible you want to wish
7815s list us and purchase it on those
7817s opportunities if you want to give us as
7819s much money as possible or you simply
7821s want to wait until the 1.0 release until
7823s you've made up your mind or otherwise
7825s just don't want to be in an early access
7827s phase which is totally understandable
7829s just know price will increase at that
7832s point at the beginning of next year
7834s otherwise that's really all the data i
7836s have for you today uh and uh go enjoy go
7840s go have fun have a great time this
7841s weekend
7843s awesome
7857s [Music]
7863s [Music]
7872s let's go have fun with corbin and tell
7875s him about how the experimental branch is
7878s now live
7880s [Music]
7885s you
