38s	hello there everybody welcome welcome to
41s	the Stream
44s	oh my gosh let's just get right into it
45s	right I mean we're here
48s	we're here we're able we're capable oh
51s	my goodness welcome ladies and gentlemen
53s	to the official Rockfish games stream
55s	I'm your host Eric Schroeder your
57s	community Ambassador for All Things
58s	everspace 2 your servant your guide oh
62s	my goodness I am having a good time
65s	today we got a couple of fun little
66s	things to talk about so right out of the
70s	gates we are going to be looking at the
73s	Sentinels new special this is not a new
76s	alt this is not a new passive the
78s	special do you guys remember what that
80s	was remember it did the thing about like
82s	uh reducing like conditional effects and
85s	stuff that's been changed all right
88s	um then we're also going to be talking
89s	about uh a new job which were well not a
93s	new job excuse me a new unknown signal
95s	rather uh because we keep adding more we
98s	like that variety we hope that you are
100s	going to enjoy that as well we're going
101s	to look at it it's probably the most
103s	exciting one um so far I really like
106s	this one
107s	we're also going to look at the
108s	Tormentor once again to cover its AI
111s	pattern since I had mentioned last week
113s	it hadn't quite been refined and then
116s	we're also going to be diving into
117s	racing uh one more time because we've
120s	modified it even further it's so much
123s	cleaner it's so much grander oh my
125s	goodness uh and it's kind of funny
127s	because I was having a conversation uh
130s	with uh
132s	several team members honestly about how
135s	Racing's been developed and how it's
136s	coming along you know it's just this
138s	sort of like it's not a focal point of
140s	ever space too or anything it's just
142s	kind of there but we are really happy
144s	with how it's been coming together and
146s	it still has one more change one more
149s	level of improvement which we'll
151s	probably show next week so it's going to
153s	be just a tad bit better uh even it's
156s	crazy it's it's wonderful so without
158s	further Ado let's get in on the Sentinel
161s	and we are going to talk about this new
164s	special so right here you can see uh I
166s	should also double check and make sure
168s	can everyone hear me correctly is my
171s	voice coming
173s	I always kind of gets me sometimes when
175s	I when stream's just about close but it
178s	seems like everything's coming through
179s	everything on my computer says it is
181s	okay good good to hear good to hear
185s	so
186s	um
187s	because that slight little check I also
190s	want to mention you know geekbite is
191s	here he will be cataloging your
193s	questions so if you have questions for
196s	anything that shows up whether I show it
197s	to you or just a general question about
199s	everspace 2's development or anything
200s	like that go ahead and shoot it at us
202s	you can at geekbite or you can just
204s	straight up ask
205s	um he'll put it together in a list and
207s	at certain key parts of the stream I'll
209s	bounce over answer a slew of questions
210s	and then we'll return to gameplay all
212s	right now that's out of the way let's
214s	show stuff let's show things induction
216s	special induction what does this say
218s	well I'm blocking it sorry you can't see
219s	it that sucks all right GG uh no uh
223s	clearly I'm gonna move my face here uh
226s	out of the way
228s	you can read it but if you can't for
230s	some reason it says Primary Weapons deal
232s	up to 40 increased energy damage
235s	depending on your Shield charge
238s	percentage all right okay so so this
241s	this is uh there's a number of things
243s	why this is happening and I'm sure
246s	somebody out there is already
247s	immediately saying like well why are we
249s	changing this in the first place the
251s	initial special like it was useful right
254s	um because it added that like kind of
256s	like an extra layer of resistance the
258s	problem was it wasn't very interesting
260s	to us foreign
262s	that's honestly the short answer
265s	um The Sentinel and this was a
266s	discussion had in the Discord recently
268s	The Sentinel is meant to be more of like
270s	your first impression of everspace 2
272s	like it's the one you started in the
274s	tutorial we didn't want anything to be
276s	like super crazy or transformative about
279s	its uh abilities it wanted to be
281s	familiar and also giving a general sense
284s	of however Space 2 is going to be played
286s	that being said there were certain
288s	elements of the Sentinel that we felt
290s	could be enhanced even further and as
293s	you all know uh the sentinel's focal
295s	point is its Shields it always has been
298s	even in everspace one it was known as
300s	the energy fighter of everspace one in
303s	fact
304s	and so through that we're just putting
306s	more emphasis on that sweet sweet energy
308s	so 40 increased energy damage depending
312s	on your Shield charge percentage that
314s	wording is a little particular so I just
317s	want to clarify that means based on how
319s	much Shield you have the percentage of
323s	where it is at to your maximum your
326s	remaining Shields if you will okay that
330s	is going to increase your energy damage
333s	up to 40 percent when it's maxed out
335s	okay so if you're at half Shields
338s	how much bonus energy damage are you
340s	doing ladies and gentlemen is it five is
344s	it ten is it 20 or is it
349s	I don't know how to maths
351s	perfect excellent I see 42 you're all on
354s	board good to see Excellence oh my God
360s	this couldn't go more smoothly beautiful
363s	yes it is a linear scale so yes of
366s	course halfway means 20 bonus and that's
369s	how that basically works so the more
371s	Shields you have the more energy damage
373s	you're doing
375s	makes a lot of sense for an energy
377s	fighter eh oh my gosh so it's also
380s	something that is just an inherent
381s	benefit to you of course so you don't
383s	necessarily have to watch things other
385s	than you know you want your Shields to
386s	be up and in general uh you kind of want
389s	your Shields to be up so it's just an
390s	inherent bonus for the Sentinel for
393s	anybody who is wondering yes it does
396s	apply to the alt as well
398s	all right so let's go ahead and uh fly
401s	out into this new unknown signal by
405s	using this Sentinel that we're going to
408s	try and keep our Shields up to maximum
411s	the couple other things to note we use
413s	defensive masker which will instantly
415s	trigger my shield to recharge really
417s	want that used with the Sentinel
419s	um activating a device adds four charges
421s	of reactive armor that just means we can
422s	negate shots keeping the shields
425s	maximized right
427s	um then we're also using a little bit of
429s	a clever thing here where we have
430s	excessive force so we gain even more
432s	damage increased energy damage in fact
435s	uh when the shields are fully charged so
439s	if we can keep our Shields fully charged
441s	that's a 70 percent increase in energy
445s	damage with the Sentinel now uh
447s	beautiful
449s	actually no it's not because that's I
451s	just added them together I would have to
452s	do the calculation but regardless it's
454s	more it's much more damage that's much
456s	more damage then we have critical
458s	faculty
459s	um so we want Critical Hits to restore
461s	Alt and then we have exploitation which
465s	increases critical hit chance when
467s	attacking enemies whose movement is
469s	impaired
472s	cool
473s	cool so uh yeah so all of that stuff
477s	being said I don't know how much I have
479s	movement and pairing but we're going to
481s	try it anyway because I want to try and
482s	get ultimate because ultimate that we're
484s	using
485s	um also has a couple added benefits to
487s	this build I'm still going over the
488s	build guys this does take a little bit
489s	of time but I just want you to know how
492s	this is designed to work we have two
494s	very important passives here that I'm
495s	still kind of blocking I'm just going to
496s	read them off killing an enemy using
498s	static Overlord which is overload which
500s	is the alt restores 10 of Shield hit
502s	points
504s	very important to this as well as static
506s	Overlord has a 10 chance per second to
508s	apply EMP to affected targets for 5
511s	seconds
512s	also important so our opponents can't do
514s	anything and our Shield stays at maximum
516s	capacity all right our devices are also
519s	similar to what we used last time
521s	because they work and I like them all
523s	right so this is an unknown signal we
525s	literally just got into and
528s	um the way that it started off
531s	as I think Adam uh said something very
534s	simple he said another trap I'll teach
536s	them a lesson
538s	so you jump in and he he can tell that
542s	there's a trap so the Trap says destroy
545s	the signal emitter
548s	so he showed up at this unknown signal
550s	because there was a signal
554s	and immediately we can see that we are
557s	not fully done with this because it's
558s	floating
562s	but the signal emitter is
565s	needs to be destroyed
567s	now in the future it will in fact
570s	be on an asteroid or a base or something
574s	and now we are going to fire for days
590s	excellent
595s	now we are able to strain their seals
597s	down pretty fast oh nice that's that's
600s	beautiful
609s	and more enemies are in fact coming in
616s	look at them they're all just tumbling
617s	around oh hey I look back
629s	see if we can knock more of them out and
631s	my my Shields have been like Max this
633s	entire time go back play the tapes
637s	keeping that Shield nice and fit for all
641s	of these damage bonuses
644s	now I need you to shoot at me please
647s	okay you're gonna shoot at me
649s	okay you need more energy give me energy
652s	yes there we go ah dang it I ran out of
654s	energy unfortunate
659s	you can only do this all day if they're
660s	shooting at me
667s	but focusing on that Shield
670s	maximizing it
673s	is going to allow you to punch through a
676s	lot of enemies doing a lot of damage and
677s	what's really great about this is that
680s	my weapons actually kind of suck I'm at
682s	level 25 these enemies a lot of them are
684s	Level 26s but let's take a quick look at
687s	the weapon that we're using it's a level
688s	22. what
692s	what it kind of sucks
695s	it actually kind of sucks with where we
697s	are at right now fighting level 26s with
701s	the level 20. I bet you didn't know that
703s	that was the level of this weapon I bet
705s	you probably thought that it was pretty
706s	decent but nay I say to thee we're doing
709s	a lot of that added damage because of
712s	our induction special now
714s	that extra energy damage remember that
716s	applies not only to Shields but also too
718s	whole
719s	so it's a pretty strong boom
723s	as a spool up on gas Cannon slower or is
725s	it just me I actually think that it was
727s	changed but I have nothing in my change
729s	logs that say that it was
732s	so on principle I'm going to say that it
733s	wasn't we forgot to mark it
735s	but I do think that it is lower I do in
738s	fact think it's lower all right
740s	let's take out a few more of these guys
742s	because they continue to come in and
745s	part of this unknown signal is to take
747s	them all down
750s	so we dropped their signal
753s	and now we've got to drop all of them
757s	oh man we lost lost the energy again
760s	they're not shooting me like I want them
762s	to
786s	do is that all of them
788s	on your left oh
791s	hey don't leave that
794s	there's still a couple more
796s	that's fine
799s	we got a Raider and Proto Scout and
801s	Proto Scout all right
808s	let's go ahead and
810s	crush this guy's Shield
816s	beautiful
826s	I am not hitting him he is way too far
841s	all right we got some Shields again all
842s	right hang on hang on this will be nice
845s	and simple and short oh no more Shields
848s	how'd it come back so fast
855s	it's a blessing and a curse
857s	on this gas cannon that it has the
858s	shield shutdown duration but okay there
860s	we go the area is secure
865s	and done so that is yet another unknown
868s	signal that you'll be able to find
871s	where you basically are up against a
874s	couple waves of enemies just at random
878s	as of right now this mainly applies to
880s	Outlaws
881s	for those of you who are familiar with
883s	the storyline you'll know that this is
885s	straight up scavenger baiting that's
888s	what this is we see it in the opening of
890s	the game when you are activating
892s	beanbags well now you get to see other
894s	instances of scavenger baiting being
896s	used there's a signal that's out there
898s	you go to it and you you can immediately
902s	tell because of Dax and your experience
905s	that it's just going to be
907s	it's just luring people into a trap
911s	spring the Trap take out the guys get a
913s	bunch of stuff
915s	be on your Merry Little Wayne
917s	still no jump suppressor says four oh my
920s	gosh
922s	yes we could absolutely still add a jump
925s	suppressor to it and more
935s	all right so I already see a couple of
937s	questions about that instance pouring in
940s	we're gonna fly around just a little bit
942s	with the Sentinel before we start
943s	answering those questions however
948s	thank you
953s	I don't want to go to sleep because I
954s	want to go to Prescott over here
956s	[Music]
958s	but so far our very limited testing
962s	with the Sentinels adjustment helping
964s	its energy damage uh just like increase
967s	based on how you're taking care of its
968s	Shield it feels
971s	right for the ship and there's a much
974s	greater impact to the player
977s	at least from what I can tell thus far
979s	when you see those damage numbers
982s	increase
984s	have your systems take less time to be
988s	effective which is what the Sentinel did
991s	previously it was much more defensive
994s	and while it did work it didn't have
997s	that impact that we were looking for
1001s	it didn't have that satisfaction
1005s	so this is one of the reasons why we
1007s	ended up adjusting it
1011s	one of the reasons
1018s	so I just park right here
1022s	a couple more crafting things I just
1024s	want to get them out of my uh thing and
1026s	wow look at all these things
1029s	that's some good loot from a random
1032s	scavenger baiting exercise
1036s	so let's just see what we can do here
1039s	not too excited about that one I'd
1041s	rather have the Firepower
1046s	still kind of want more weapons
1047s	especially with this Goss Cannon
1049s	man if we get a higher level Goss Cannon
1051s	it's going to be just chewing up energy
1053s	though
1054s	to be careful about that
1059s	that Shield output though
1066s	hmm
1068s	that's awfully tempting
1072s	all right we're we're entirely based
1074s	around getting this Shield back up I
1076s	feel like I feel like this is the place
1078s	I feel like this is the place we're
1080s	going to remove this level restriction
1081s	there's nothing new on the front of
1084s	crafting yet to talk about so uh just
1087s	gonna keep that where it's at but we're
1089s	just gonna we're gonna like super boost
1090s	our Shields that's what we're gonna do
1092s	here
1094s	[Music]
1096s	and let's see what else we got
1104s	almost wonder if a Jaeger would be
1105s	better than this uh goth Cannon
1111s	thinking about it
1113s	thinking about it
1120s	what do you guys think the Jaeger
1122s	or the gas Cannon I'm curious
1125s	what which one do you guys think would
1127s	be better for this particular energy
1129s	focused build uh but aside from that uh
1132s	while you're answering that question
1135s	we are
1137s	making wonderful progress on the big
1140s	news content that will be delivered this
1144s	fall okay and so some of you guys know
1146s	uh what I'm talking about for those who
1148s	don't uh this fall we are going to be
1151s	talking about end game content like
1154s	post-game content you know that type of
1156s	stuff that you can be experiencing at
1158s	level 30 right so that includes a lot of
1161s	different things but kind of the smaller
1163s	more obvious things is that we are doing
1165s	these riffs that we've been talking
1167s	about we've been making progress on
1168s	those
1169s	and like high level in-game equipment
1174s	such as legendaries
1176s	so there's a lot that is still in the
1179s	works like we are moving along
1183s	progress has been good uh but we don't
1185s	have anything that we will be talking
1187s	about on that front really until we get
1190s	either really close to that fall update
1192s	or the fall update launches itself so I
1194s	want to be really clear in that front so
1196s	if any of you have questions about like
1198s	what legendary is going to look like or
1200s	what the riffs are going to look like or
1202s	what you know how that stuff is applied
1204s	my response is mainly going to be well
1206s	you'll just need to wait and find out
1208s	and I don't want to say that a lot
1210s	because it sucks so just know that just
1212s	be patient we will get there and it will
1214s	be good
1216s	all right let's see what you guys were
1217s	saying which item to use
1220s	Synchro pulse excellent that's very
1223s	helpful Jaeger uh okay that's good yeah
1226s	yeah I wanted to upgrade it to Superior
1228s	so that's good
1230s	um
1231s	more people say it's secret pulse oh my
1235s	gosh that's pretty silly
1242s	is my voice coming across really loudly
1244s	somebody said I think you don't need to
1246s	shout with your headphones on
1250s	maybe my mic is too close to my face
1257s	but okay I think we're gonna go
1259s	here and what we're gonna do is we're
1260s	gonna modify it remove this level
1262s	restriction which is chosen very
1265s	frequently and in some cases feels like
1267s	a necessity
1269s	and we've been making that observation
1271s	and then we're also going to increase
1272s	the Rarity
1275s	and we're going all the way we're going
1276s	all the way that feels good all right
1280s	all right so we're going to replace
1284s	yeah look at that now it's now it's
1286s	actually doing just a little bit more
1287s	energy DPS so I think that's going to be
1289s	good all the way around
1292s	awesome
1294s	[Music]
1296s	so let's take this and head over to the
1300s	Drake system I think well we could look
1302s	at the ship dealer very briefly and just
1305s	admire what's over here we got a new
1308s	Hornet excellent
1310s	Cyclops very good I don't know if you
1312s	saw oh yeah here we go down here there's
1314s	some yellows
1317s	that indicate since the last time you
1319s	were at the ship dealer these are new
1321s	these are new ships so now if you ever
1323s	had a question of if something was new
1326s	or not now you can see
1328s	I think there was also colors added to
1330s	the um
1332s	the ship dealer offers as well so tier
1334s	threes are blue tier fours would be uh
1337s	magenta coloration
1340s	it's love about transition effect I hope
1342s	you guys enjoy that too oh
1344s	are those updated tier three wings
1349s	nice little teaser all right
1352s	it was Tempest though they look so good
1354s	oh they're still like some of my
1355s	favorites
1357s	but nay I say to all of these we are
1359s	still flying The Sentinel I don't even
1362s	have a sentinel I wanted to um
1364s	I wanted to read the ship uh description
1367s	of the Sentinel for you but I don't have
1368s	one that's a little oh wait there we go
1371s	so just like bring all of this home I
1374s	just want to read this
1375s	um
1376s	fortified with electronic stabilizers
1378s	The Sentinel class fighter benefits from
1380s	Shield mitigation and energy
1382s	enhancements a great all-around vessel
1384s	to be customized for Weaponry defenses
1385s	or devices so uh so that just kind of
1388s	like really shows how we are designing
1390s	the ship itself and bringing everything
1393s	together you know using induction to
1395s	further that power
1397s	makes things feel pretty good I could go
1401s	and customize a little bit more I am
1402s	pretty happy with the style I that I uh
1404s	tweaked before the stream so we're just
1406s	gonna go with it
1408s	all right off to Drake We Go
1426s	beautiful
1434s	[Music]
1443s	and Just for kicks and giggles
1451s	I know that we have technically done
1453s	this secure container event before
1455s	during the stream but because it has a
1457s	nice uh grouping of enemies we'll go
1460s	ahead and do this especially now that we
1461s	got this powered up Pulse laser
1477s	yeah as soon as the armor goes down you
1480s	can see like how much of an added effect
1482s	that energy damage puts in
1486s	that feels pretty nice
1506s	damn
1508s	excellent
1516s	we're gonna go for this guy first
1520s	or we could go for all of them
1522s	let's go for all of them
1535s	oh whoops I attacked the Coalition on
1537s	accident
1538s	that's fine
1543s	well executed he says oh my gosh
1550s	oh
1557s	ouch ouch ouch
1560s	we gotta focus in on that bomber it
1562s	looks like
1567s	there we go much better
1577s	[Music]
1580s	foreign
1584s	[Music]
1590s	we're also using
1593s	our very large cruise missiles
1597s	to try and strike them down a little bit
1599s	further
1603s	keep our Shields up
1611s	thank you
1618s	last wave
1641s	so it's a good trip
1661s	bundabar all right
1666s	[Music]
1674s	so yeah energy damage it's nice it feels
1677s	good
1678s	it feels good so uh with that
1681s	demonstration complete for the Sentinel
1683s	and all of this newfound energy
1685s	deliciousness
1686s	I'm sure that you guys have been asking
1688s	some questions
1690s	so let's head on over to geekbite who is
1693s	with us right now he's going to pop
1696s	those questions to me and we'll answer
1697s	them live what do we got
1700s	hey Eric hey stream how are you all uh
1704s	first up and it's one question that
1705s	you've actually already asked uh
1706s	answered rather and he was from Jacob on
1709s	YouTube and it was in relation to when
1711s	will we see exotic legendary loot and
1713s	how will we earn them clarify that
1716s	earlier oh absolutely yeah we'll we'll
1718s	have more information on legendary stuff
1720s	um by this fall I'm I'm pretty confident
1723s	of that so
1725s	you might even see some of it
1729s	uh next up we have kizor from twitch and
1733s	is he intended that the waves will stop
1735s	after destroying the emitter or is it a
1738s	fixed amount regardless or they don't
1740s	jump in until destroyed and that's in
1742s	the reference is the new signal
1743s	obviously okay yeah so the signal the
1746s	scavenger baiting signal it was quite
1748s	literally just added and then right
1750s	after it was added uh Andy uh left on
1753s	vacation so so there wasn't a lot of
1756s	room to tweak or improve or adjust uh
1758s	but rest assured we want to make it feel
1760s	right
1761s	um So the plan is to have the signal
1765s	attached to an asteroid for one and two
1769s	uh we would like it to have uh at least
1772s	for a little bit longer to have enemy
1774s	waves continue until you stop the signal
1776s	but we don't want it to have just an
1779s	endless uh combat sequence we don't want
1782s	you to be fighting enemies forever so
1785s	the big intent is that you go in you
1787s	destroy the signal and then you destroy
1788s	the waves that's how it's designed not
1791s	really more complicated than that and we
1793s	don't want it to be exploitable so for
1795s	gamification purposes enemies will stop
1798s	after some time
1800s	so good question and uh yeah
1804s	cool uh next up slow rain over on
1808s	YouTube asks are there any plans to
1810s	support Intel's XS which is the new um
1813s	like dlss system correct oh I feel like
1817s	there was news about that very recently
1820s	right
1820s	mm-hmm yeah okay yeah so with any
1823s	anytime there's like new gaming news
1824s	that comes out like it's really exciting
1826s	and uh you know internally we're also
1829s	like hmm is this going to be possible
1830s	like you know what does this look like
1832s	uh but also it's a little bit too soon
1834s	to like be able to answer that now
1837s	um I think that if there were any
1839s	clarifying points Michael would be able
1841s	to jump in and provide those however
1844s	um I really do think that this is one of
1845s	those situations where we'll just have
1847s	to make announcements when certain
1849s	things are added to the game
1851s	um when that comes uh we have to see if
1854s	it's right for the game Space
1856s	um if it's right for the settings and
1857s	you know how you're tweaking all the
1859s	options and all that type of stuff uh so
1861s	you know I can say that we're hopeful
1863s	for sure but I don't know the full
1868s	conversation that opens up and uh it's
1872s	very fresh in our minds so we'll have to
1874s	find out together in the future and if
1876s	it does we'll make that announcement of
1878s	course
1881s	sounds good uh last question for now uh
1884s	wizard Jerry over on YouTube asks will
1886s	there be any new wings for the gunship
1888s	and bomber in the fall update
1891s	oh in the fall update oh my gosh well I
1895s	mean it's not something that we are
1897s	saying is going to happen so if it did
1900s	it would be a complete surprise
1903s	good surprise
1908s	so we'll find out
1911s	the intent is to have uh most of the
1915s	Wings done by 1.0 and I know somebody
1917s	may have just heard that wait wait you
1919s	said most so they're not all gonna be
1921s	done by 1.0 it's possible that some
1925s	wings might not be done by 1.0 I'll be
1928s	super transparent about this that does
1931s	not mean
1932s	that More Wings will be locked behind a
1935s	DLC paywall it means that we will have
1938s	more free content
1940s	um after that 1.0 release we've already
1941s	said that there will at least be one
1943s	little package of free content
1945s	um it's very likely that a wing set or
1947s	two would probably show up on that front
1950s	if we don't make it by that 1.0 release
1953s	okay so uh yeah so like what we've been
1957s	saying from the very beginning
1959s	um is that we want to have about four
1961s	Wing sets for every single ship
1964s	that's what we're aiming for and uh that
1967s	should be your expectation uh for what
1970s	you'll get when you purchase uh the
1973s	premium price point of everspace 2.
1977s	so there you go
1980s	I see somebody about my comments of the
1982s	Wings saying literally unplayable
1986s	excellent I love it I love it
1989s	so uh was that the last question
1991s	geekbite yeah it is for now uh we'll
1993s	come back for some moment a bit awesome
1994s	that sounds good all right so uh with
1997s	that uh little segment out of the way
1999s	with the unknown signal and talking
2001s	about the Sentinel we did make some
2003s	changes to the Tormentor UI so I'm gonna
2007s	try and ironically enough I have to get
2009s	out of Drake we will continue like
2012s	flying around Drake and having fun here
2014s	but uh I need to get to a generic Outlaw
2018s	location to generate some tormentors
2020s	because I want to show you a little bit
2021s	more how they work
2023s	and what our design philosophy was uh
2026s	for their creation
2029s	so let's head on over to zarkop and
2031s	hopefully not trigger anything that
2032s	you're not supposed to see yet
2037s	no what what's that there's no new
2039s	continent zarkov I don't know what
2041s	you're talking about uh all right
2047s	called travel made easy
2051s	here we go all right all right flying to
2053s	a different location perfect
2056s	everything's happening exactly the way
2058s	it was planned uh let's head over to
2062s	[Music]
2064s	I do like the crash site let's go to
2066s	peroon for that's always Pleasant and we
2068s	got the super chill music
2078s	I do see a random question that I'm just
2079s	gonna answer
2082s	um about re-skills for the end game some
2084s	type of rescale
2086s	um I'm not entirely sure what you mean
2087s	by reskilling
2089s	um because most if not all of the
2091s	systems inside of everspace too
2094s	have flexibility over like the passives
2097s	if you didn't get the right passives you
2098s	can rotate those if you are looking for
2101s	different attributes you're going to
2102s	control that through the itemization if
2103s	you're looking for different devices you
2106s	can change the modes that they provide
2109s	um if you don't like the perks that you
2110s	selected you just need a dock and then
2112s	you can change which ones you selected
2113s	from that front so if you could be more
2116s	specific vast in your question I would
2119s	love to answer that
2121s	love to help you out there
2124s	but as it stands we are providing the
2126s	tools to where almost at any point in
2130s	the game if you wanted to change your
2132s	play style
2133s	you would have that control
2138s	part though
2154s	[Music]
2157s	gosh it slaps
2160s	Garrow you're a Madman keep it up
2168s	so good
2173s	all right
2174s	and of course for those who don't know
2176s	there's actually still more music being
2178s	composed for the game and every now and
2180s	then it does in fact show up during the
2182s	course of these streams
2184s	I don't think it's happened today but uh
2187s	definitely more than possible
2191s	all right let's see we're looking for a
2193s	Tormentor
2195s	oh that was a terrible sling let's try
2197s	that again
2203s	scout scout
2205s	let it all out
2208s	oh my
2211s	God
2215s	front Shield generator is wonderful
2218s	against sniper drugs
2221s	man I just need to catch up to them oh
2223s	goodness
2232s	excellent beautiful not excellent
2236s	we got a Raider I don't need a Raider
2248s	all right let's try and uh alleviate
2251s	some issues here first and hopefully we
2253s	can find wait no that's a missile silo
2255s	cushioning and I got so excited there
2257s	for a second
2259s	drain this guy's Shields way too fast oh
2262s	yeah look at that oh car Prime Shield
2263s	these guys have some of the strongest
2265s	shields in the game and we're just
2268s	melting it even with our Shields only
2270s	getting that 20 bonus because less than
2272s	halfway
2275s	feels good
2277s	all right now the search continues
2280s	I want to make sure that we get
2283s	wait no no not over that okay
2292s	it's over there just some drones more
2294s	sniper drones hey nope nope no thank you
2296s	all right
2297s	over here what's that
2301s	we're looking for a Tormentor
2304s	still looking for a Tormentor come on
2307s	come on game
2309s	give the people what they want
2326s	Tormentor hey all right we found it
2330s	we found it
2333s	ladies and gentlemen we got him
2337s	here we are all right let's take out
2340s	some of these turrets
2341s	stop
2342s	get pummeled by these missiles
2345s	but thankfully with every kill and those
2347s	missiles that hit us we are regenerating
2348s	our Shields keeping it alive
2354s	all right here we go so let's check out
2355s	this Tormentor so as you can see he's
2358s	barraging us and he's following us like
2360s	a drone would except a little bit
2362s	further away right
2364s	so we start shooting him
2367s	oh come on do the do the thing you know
2369s	you want all right there we go now he
2371s	turns and then he turns back and he
2373s	starts doing his thing again
2377s	so it's not a constant barrage he'll try
2379s	to escape especially at certain
2380s	intervals of his health
2382s	gets further away from you because he
2384s	boosts and then you have to like track
2386s	him down and shoot him again
2392s	so he's kind of like a combination of a
2394s	ship and a drone
2396s	the design philosophy is to provide
2398s	something at a different range that a
2400s	lot of the other enemies are at so what
2402s	I mean by that is like very simply put
2404s	you have drones that are very close
2407s	range combat right they're swarming
2408s	around you sometimes it can be very
2411s	deadly on the front of uh the chip
2414s	damage they do
2416s	um I know you're all Gamers I just want
2417s	to describe chip damage very briefly for
2420s	anybody who's never heard that before
2421s	it's little bits of damage that impede
2425s	something of your abilities and in this
2427s	case it would be your Shield recharging
2431s	can be very annoying
2433s	um but also uh you know they can also
2436s	Pummel you to death because it's like
2438s	throwing way too many rocks at you
2442s	but then
2444s	you have a lot of basic ships that are
2448s	following this AI pattern of charging at
2451s	you looping back around and charging at
2454s	you again right
2457s	then we also have ships that stay at a
2460s	big distance because they don't want you
2462s	to get to them at all
2465s	and now we're throwing into the mix
2467s	ships that are trying to get up close
2470s	and personal but then fly away or want
2472s	to stay at like this mid-range territory
2474s	but also like move around and what's
2477s	gonna happen is
2479s	your situation your engagement is gonna
2483s	start changing simply based on the types
2486s	of enemies that have generated in in
2489s	that moment so as a super clean
2492s	clear-cut example you have drones and
2495s	Scouts you know this drill because it's
2498s	kind of like that Baseline standard of
2500s	how you're engaging with everspace too
2501s	drones and Scouts
2503s	a big way to address it is you point
2506s	directly Adam
2508s	you fly towards them you shoot until
2510s	they're dead that's it they're not
2512s	really gonna do too much outside of that
2515s	the drones might start looping and you
2517s	might have to do a little bit of like ah
2519s	where are you at shoot this drone you
2521s	pop an EMP maybe you know whatever you
2524s	got some crowd control
2527s	um but for the most part you just have
2529s	to just straight up go to them and take
2531s	them out
2533s	that starts looking a little bit
2535s	different
2536s	if you've got a group of enemies that's
2539s	containing you you got a dog fight
2541s	you're scooping up them you're flying
2543s	around them and you've got a sniper in
2546s	the background now all of a sudden
2547s	you've got to decide do I want to engage
2549s	this group of enemies or do I want to go
2551s	get the sniper first and if you're going
2552s	to get the sniper first
2554s	um are you going to use a device to get
2556s	there are you going to like take shots
2558s	from these enemies that are still near
2560s	you like what does that look like
2562s	and then on top of that front say you
2564s	might have like a Marauder who has a
2567s	webbing missile who's trying to lock you
2569s	down so maybe that eliminates your
2570s	option to get to the sniper
2573s	or maybe you have a bomber
2576s	that is just barraging you with missiles
2579s	from afar
2580s	or you have it just keeps going right
2584s	and each one of these adds that extra
2585s	layer of thought of what you have to
2588s	commit to these battles right
2591s	and how you are engaging the Foe and
2593s	what devices you're using and what play
2595s	style you are operating in
2597s	I know some of you are still going to be
2599s	like oh no I just play Striker and just
2601s	run up into the face of anything and I
2604s	just blast them until their face falls
2606s	off I mean that's that's also fine like
2608s	there we have designs surrounded to
2612s	support that too of course but not
2614s	everybody is going to play like that not
2616s	every ship can do that either
2620s	so more enemy variety
2624s	more thought goes into how you're
2626s	engaging like look at this we got a
2628s	Tormentor a Raider Elite I'm gonna try
2631s	to focus the elite first even though I'm
2633s	getting barraged
2635s	from afar
2636s	that Elite is all right maybe we need to
2639s	just focus in on here is this the play
2645s	get our Shields back please
2649s	ouch
2652s	we used it to hide it was our hidey hole
2657s	now that's down we want to get this
2658s	Raider because I don't want to get
2659s	locked down oh my gosh we got a Viper
2661s	there ouch I see those missiles from a
2664s	Tormentor
2665s	so I'm just going to try and keep
2666s	shifting around instead of circle
2669s	strafing otherwise he'll get me
2671s	ah another Elite two oh my gosh
2675s	just keep moving that's what we're gonna
2677s	do
2680s	oh yeah I look great
2684s	Piper's down now we can focus on that
2687s	Tormentor but maybe we wanted to go for
2688s	that Tormentor first I don't know
2691s	maybe we weren't operating with a
2693s	shieldy build maybe we were flying a
2695s	gunship where our Shields actually suck
2698s	and we needed to be careful about how we
2701s	were um
2703s	approaching them maybe our Shields went
2705s	down super fast and those missiles just
2707s	absolutely crushed us because they do a
2709s	lot more kinetic damage
2711s	I didn't need it to be a focal point
2713s	anyway
2715s	just basic levels of strategy that we're
2717s	introducing by these different enemy
2719s	types
2721s	and that Tormentor again it's kind of
2723s	like that mid-range kind of uh missile
2727s	expert if you will why did I suck all
2729s	these in oh my gosh hang on let's just
2731s	let's just let these be I have so much
2733s	stuff now
2734s	so many things ooh better cruise
2736s	missiles
2743s	but uh I can also say that we are not
2745s	fully done with enemies and variants
2748s	like we continue to have conversations
2751s	internally about what more we can do on
2753s	that front because we want to make sure
2754s	the game continues to be fresh and clean
2757s	with every engagement that you encounter
2760s	when things start feeling a bit samey
2762s	that's where we want to interject and
2764s	say but wait right
2774s	nice
2787s	I think we're gonna keep the Executioner
2789s	even though we're not really wanting to
2792s	get too up close and personal but we
2794s	have opportunities to get out of it with
2795s	our EMP so yeah we're gonna keep the
2797s	Executioner
2799s	and then we're gonna scrap all this type
2801s	of stuff
2803s	awesome much better
2810s	let's put that up there just in case we
2812s	need energy
2818s	just the energy Shield because I'm going
2819s	to be Persnickety right now
2826s	cool
2828s	oh we'll keep floating around this
2830s	location because I think we'll have more
2833s	tormentors spawn in
2837s	I think
2840s	Maybe
2843s	of course it might also take a while
2846s	and we also have more unknown signals
2848s	that I would love to dive into for
2849s	anybody who has missed uh the new
2851s	selections of unknown signals and
2855s	um as well as like any other
2857s	sort of like happenings that are being
2859s	added
2865s	oh come on we're supposed to die
2874s	foreign
2885s	much better
2896s	new location
2898s	we'll do one more over here in zarkov
2901s	and then we're gonna bounce back over to
2902s	Drake
2906s	let's see here
2909s	[Music]
2911s	since we completed the stronghold I'm
2913s	not sure if we're going to see as much
2914s	activity
2916s	[Music]
2924s	ah why not
2927s	we'll let an unknown signal pop up
2928s	that's what we'll do we'll do that
2930s	instead
2944s	let's see what we find here
2947s	foreign
2950s	[Music]
2959s	challenge with Alec all right oh oh I
2963s	got a juicy Target oh I like Get Wrecked
2974s	oh man those drones didn't count oh my
2977s	plan has been foiled
2979s	oh no
2981s	I need some targets oh Alex crushing me
2983s	no
2985s	no
2989s	I need these last kills I gotta get
2991s	there before he does
3000s	all right okay
3003s	we win
3007s	that was close
3009s	that's right
3011s	next time use your your cruise Drive
3013s	jeez
3017s	um but uh we have increased uh the very
3020s	hard difficulty a little bit
3022s	um just from the basic super boring
3025s	scaling rules
3026s	um but there is a reason why we did that
3031s	just to kind of get a little bit of a uh
3033s	a greater Taste of uh what's to come
3037s	before we really go in there and clean
3039s	up how the difficulty system works
3044s	what was that pulse laser specifically
3047s	ooh a star forged oh my goodness
3051s	look at that
3054s	corrosion damage as well oh my gosh
3059s	and regenerate
3061s	well I mean whole our hole's never gonna
3064s	take damage I say that next engagement
3066s	I'm only gonna almost gonna die just
3068s	watch
3069s	has increased damage against armor which
3071s	kind of sucks but you know it is what it
3073s	is
3074s	we'll take it
3081s	man I did that so slowly
3083s	oh I forgot I have all these other
3085s	things
3087s	anyway
3093s	okay one more unknown location and then
3096s	we'll go to Drake
3101s	I'd wrap it prefix oh that's actually
3104s	that's smart I don't know if I can
3106s	afford it
3107s	can I afford it
3110s	oh uh
3112s	uh no I'm gonna have to track missing
3114s	resources I don't have the resources but
3116s	I love that idea
3119s	I love that idea well let's track the
3120s	missing resources so we can look out for
3122s	them
3126s	it's a really good idea
3135s	yeah I know rapid's a solid choice
3138s	rapid is a delightful Catalyst oh a
3142s	distress call let's see what's going on
3143s	here
3148s	[Music]
3152s	and yeah just to be super clear I just
3155s	kind of sing a little bit in the chat uh
3157s	we changed the structure of the stream
3160s	very slightly and by slightly I mean it
3162s	was kind of an overhaul actually but
3164s	um so now I'm going to be doing gameplay
3166s	segments and reveals and then after a
3169s	specific amount of time usually about 25
3171s	to 30 minutes I'll cycle back in and
3174s	answer questions about that segment or
3176s	general questions and stuff like that so
3178s	that we can get all that stuff ironed
3179s	out so if anybody's wondering how that
3181s	stuff's changed we'll be answering
3183s	questions here in probably about eight
3184s	ish minutes
3186s	so if you do have a question I'm not
3189s	straight up ignoring you I promise
3193s	it's more that we have a section where
3195s	we can answer a bunch of them all at
3197s	once so that we can make sure we're
3198s	keeping gameplay High
3201s	showcasing new stuff
3206s	and also making it a lot easier in the
3207s	bot itself like
3209s	if you're watching after the stream so
3211s	much easier to just jump around more
3227s	pretty standard distress call here we
3228s	just got to fight all of the attackers
3230s	so there we go what was that
3233s	oh nice
3236s	Echo cancellers we're safe thanks a lot
3239s	you're welcome
3244s	we did that so fast let's do another one
3248s	just casually ignoring you yeah exactly
3250s	100
3253s	not even close
3267s	if most people choose rapid and need
3268s	surfs don't worry laserhead we know how
3270s	to design games see example a
3276s	yeah we'll be we there will be continued
3279s	fine tuning and tweaks and adjustments
3281s	for balancing purposes that's just a
3283s	part of Early Access that's a that is a
3286s	part of Early Access if anybody's coming
3288s	in here to Early Access and it's like
3289s	this game my expectations is that the
3292s	game is in a perfect State everything's
3294s	entirely balanced I'm gonna have zero
3297s	bugs I don't I don't there's nothing to
3300s	have a conversation there because you're
3301s	not going to allow me to discuss
3303s	anything accordingly so yeah don't worry
3305s	about any sort of imbalances and stuff
3307s	like that and if you are super worried
3310s	about it post it on the forums
3312s	let us know why you feel the way that
3315s	you do and we'll evaluate it
3319s	but rest assured
3320s	we know about rapid
3323s	it's it is really good it's uh it's very
3327s	much a go-to
3332s	that's not to say it's going to be
3333s	nerfed or anything like that folks I
3335s	don't want you to start reading into
3336s	that
3339s	but we uh definitely
3341s	whenever we're playing the game
3343s	ourselves
3345s	I should say specific specific weapons
3349s	but um but no rapid is very much a go-to
3362s	let's take out his base
3369s	ooh a bomb thrower let's see what our
3371s	increased energy damage does to this
3378s	that still has a ton of shields oh it's
3380s	regenerating so fast
3389s	company oh we broke it we broke it
3392s	though
3395s	with an energy focused build you can
3397s	break it
3398s	that's kind of fun
3399s	that might have legitimate legitimately
3401s	be the first time that I've actually
3403s	done that
3404s	because uh most cases it's danger
3406s	impossible to do and you have to grab
3407s	the bomb the bomb's much more efficient
3409s	about it
3410s	just grabbing the bomb and chucking it
3412s	back at it
3420s	but you know
3422s	fun gotta go now
3435s	this might be a light bug here because I
3438s	think that these are supposed to be
3439s	highlighted and for some reason they are
3441s	not
3442s	that's kind of silly and makes this uh
3444s	rather difficult to complete
3452s	we got one more fuel tank oh look at
3454s	that
3485s	foreign
3491s	I'm gonna leave all this stuff floating
3493s	and make some people just die inside and
3496s	uh now we are going to
3498s	head back to Drake
3501s	and we are going to uh
3504s	answer some more questions and I'm sure
3506s	that there have been a couple generated
3507s	so gig bite go ahead and launch them at
3510s	me what do we got
3512s	uh right we have stream roll a bit of a
3516s	technical question this one over on
3517s	YouTube uh can you bring proper HDR
3521s	calibration please at Gamma adjustment
3524s	isn't enough and I believe it's their
3525s	OLED screen users
3531s	I think I saw that question also on
3533s	Discord is this the same user
3536s	uh possibly yeah
3540s	yeah I think um
3542s	I think I took that question and I kind
3544s	of raised it to the team I haven't heard
3546s	anything on that front
3548s	um I legitimately do not know if that's
3551s	something that can like be easily
3553s	addressed or if there's complications to
3556s	it
3556s	um I'm sorry that I don't have a more
3558s	clear response it kind of sucks for me
3560s	just saying I don't know but I do think
3563s	this is a good question
3565s	um I also think that to push this a
3567s	little bit further
3569s	um just make sure that's posted on the
3570s	forums I also think it's posted on the
3572s	forums though so it's probably just in
3575s	line to either be addressed or looked
3576s	into
3578s	um so yeah don't worry you your voice is
3581s	heard you're using the right channels
3582s	you're you're sending it out there so uh
3584s	we'll see if that's going to be possible
3586s	or not uh and hey if one of my team
3589s	members is in the chat and you know the
3593s	answer to this
3595s	uh but yeah this is this is something
3598s	that I am not sure because there are a
3600s	lot of other uh
3602s	there's a lot going on with the updates
3604s	uh for the fall coming out so yeah
3608s	so uh sorry that I can't really provide
3611s	more clarity on that one but uh yeah
3616s	yeah
3617s	voice is heard
3619s	oh next up we've got Glory over on
3622s	Twitch we heard about a space whale with
3625s	the DLC after 1.0 what about the space
3628s	Kraken oh my gosh
3631s	oh my goodness man
3635s	let me tell you what
3637s	it's like the number of ideas that we've
3640s	had about like different creatures that
3643s	you could encounter in everspace too and
3645s	oh my gosh like it would be so freaking
3648s	cool to just have like a slew of these
3650s	remarkable beasts right
3653s	um if we had you know a greater budget
3657s	and more people on the team and you know
3662s	all of these more more things I mean
3665s	yeah like we would we seriously would
3667s	have just like so many more creatures
3669s	um and you know that that would also go
3671s	in line with like you know maybe one of
3674s	the water worlds has like a creature
3675s	that's swimming underneath as well and
3677s	if you stay too long under there it just
3679s	like Chomps your ship or something I
3680s	don't know like that stuff is super cool
3683s	but it also Demands a lot of development
3686s	time for
3689s	experiences that we didn't initially
3692s	have for the overarching vision so I
3695s	know somebody out there is hearing this
3697s	and going oh so you're saying it's
3698s	content creep yes it is a hundred
3701s	percent content creep if we could we
3704s	would but it is not likely that we will
3708s	see all these Fantastical creatures that
3711s	you're probably wanting to see
3716s	I mean shoot I'll even say this UVA
3719s	might get mad at me I'm not sure but
3720s	like at one point we were actually
3722s	questioning if we were going to even
3725s	make the Leviathan itself
3728s	what yeah no don't worry about that
3731s	because we hadn't people in the on the
3733s	team be like now wait a second no no we
3735s	we've got to do this this is this is a
3737s	must It's gotta happen so that's why
3739s	even though it's not gonna happen at 1.0
3741s	that the Leviathan is still going to
3744s	make its way into everspace too it's
3747s	it's we feel it is a necessity we feel
3750s	that it was borderline promised
3752s	especially if you guys have seen the
3754s	concept art so
3758s	there's a there's so many decisions that
3762s	one has to make internally
3764s	during development it is crazy how much
3767s	we've refined what we have guaranteed
3769s	will occur some of the stuff that we've
3772s	decided we had to drop you know
3773s	sometimes it's like we have three great
3776s	ideas but they all conflict with each
3777s	other and so we have to only choose one
3779s	like dude
3781s	it is wild stuff but uh yeah just know
3784s	that
3786s	leviathans are coming
3788s	that will happen
3790s	and if Michael Pops in he's like well
3792s	Eric actually I have something to tell
3793s	you no Michael they're happening I'm
3795s	telling you
3798s	no sincerely though it's it's uh
3802s	Michael's probably gonna chime in like
3803s	wait what what's he yelling at me for it
3805s	does everything's fine
3807s	but um
3809s	yeah again like we do feel like it is
3812s	borderline promise like from the
3813s	kickstarter in uh we're gonna bring that
3816s	to life absolutely
3817s	so uh space Krakens though
3823s	there's a incredibly slim chance so
3828s	all right
3829s	cool at least it's an answer uh Finn's
3833s	over on YouTube ass uh they need to
3835s	manually pick debris to create and
3838s	repair Vindicator drones can be a bit of
3840s	a chore will there be anywhere to
3842s	automate it
3844s	um I think I think at one point we also
3852s	also kind of weird because like if
3854s	you're automatically picking them up
3856s	because of a passive it feels like you
3858s	should just always be doing that but at
3860s	the same time we do want it to be
3863s	something that is active player
3864s	engagement with The Vindicator for you
3866s	to take care of your drones like that is
3868s	something that's an intentional design
3869s	decision where you're either firing out
3873s	your enemy while your drones are firing
3875s	or you're taking care of your drones by
3877s	specifically going to wreckage and
3878s	engaging with that wreckage like those
3880s	that's the two different sort of like
3882s	sides of the coin in The Vindicator and
3885s	it is operating as we feel it should
3888s	that's not to say we couldn't have a
3890s	couple of tricks to kind of work around
3892s	that
3893s	um with future passives but uh for all
3897s	intents and purposes it is not the
3898s	desire for us to have that automated we
3902s	do want that to be a player engagement
3904s	uh just based on internal testing
3907s	conversations alone so
3911s	cool
3912s	wizard Jerry now over on YouTube
3915s	a question asked me is the voice actor
3918s	of terrine the same person in Everest
3920s	one another space
3923s	foreign
3926s	[Laughter]
3930s	I I don't I don't think so but let me um
3933s	I think I have the tools to look this up
3935s	I'm not actually sure if I'm allowed to
3937s	tell you
3939s	um but if I've got information
3942s	um let me just let me just look at this
3944s	really quick
3947s	let me just look at this um so something
3948s	to keep in mind is you know we are doing
3950s	Early Access right now and so like that
3953s	does mean there are certain parts the
3956s	work in progress that could very much
3958s	change
3959s	um and so when I say that like that also
3961s	includes voice over
3963s	um some of you experienced a different
3965s	Ben voice earlier in Early Access than
3968s	the Ben voice that we have now like we
3970s	had a change in The Voice work so uh
3973s	it's hard to like
3975s	tell you how things are going to be at
3977s	this point in time we could very much
3979s	even alter the way terrain sounds for
3982s	example
3983s	um
3986s	let me see let me see what information I
3988s	have and if there's anything I could
3990s	reveal
3993s	and uh while I'm doing that uh geekbite
3996s	if you would be so kind to read off what
3999s	igmar has said over on Twitch also to
4002s	YouTube well to the general audience
4003s	regarding HDR I'm gonna keep looking for
4005s	this it should only take a moment
4007s	yep no worries uh so we've got an answer
4009s	regarding uh HDR uh from ingma he says
4013s	that Marco originally implemented it uh
4016s	I took over but currently still working
4018s	on optimizing save load times I already
4021s	know that there is an engine bug for one
4023s	specific uh HDR format but that should
4026s	be an easy fix more information soonish
4031s	all right
4035s	well
4037s	well thank you for that igmar I really
4038s	do appreciate it
4040s	um igmar you know anything on voiceovers
4044s	um I'm still looking for information on
4046s	this and I'm not getting a clear sign
4049s	that I can like
4051s	go into this at length
4054s	um but long story short like we do want
4057s	to have as many uh similar voice artists
4062s	from everspace one into everspace 2.
4064s	like we did that with Adam of course
4066s	um Hive obviously like we we want their
4069s	those voices to be very memorable
4072s	um because it can feel
4074s	a little off when you have a familiar
4076s	character with a completely different
4078s	voice I mean same thing in like movies
4080s	when you see a character that has a
4081s	completely different face right
4083s	um but you know there are certain
4085s	decisions that must be made that can
4088s	alter that and um
4091s	who knows
4093s	but uh I can't give a direct response to
4096s	this at this time
4097s	uh so we'll find out in the future
4102s	so yeah that's Oh that's oh man I gosh I
4106s	I don't like that response but it is
4108s	what it is right now so this I like the
4110s	question
4112s	uh right uh next up we have thunder
4114s	flame over on YouTube will we be able to
4117s	put the Swift Catalyst on the gauze
4120s	Cannon to speed up its ramping
4124s	so that one more time to make sure I
4126s	understood it will be be able to put the
4129s	Swift Catalyst on the gauze Cannon to
4132s	speed up its ramping
4133s	um I'm not sure if that's currently
4135s	possible let's look together
4139s	um I think that was something that we
4140s	intentionally left out and it sounds
4141s	like you're saying it's it's left out
4144s	but I just want to look at this real
4146s	quick
4148s	so if we were to modify this by
4152s	installing a catalyst oh we can put
4153s	rapid on it yeah you totally can put
4155s	rapid on a gas cannon that's totally
4158s	acceptable
4161s	yeah so if the question is can you do
4163s	this the answer is yes
4168s	um the rapid it's yeah like it's general
4171s	rule of thumb is because it's increasing
4173s	the fire rate that means that the ramp
4175s	up time is also decreased so you will
4178s	gain faster fire sooner inherently
4181s	because of how quickly it's shooting so
4183s	yeah
4184s	that does work correctly
4187s	good that's good uh and last for this
4190s	one is uh from Paul ra over on YouTube
4193s	as well will there be any changes to the
4195s	targeting on the small things on bases
4200s	so right now and unfortunately I didn't
4202s	have a display because this is very much
4205s	a dove build and wonky stuff happens
4207s	um generally speaking the small stuff on
4209s	bases will be outlined and highlighted
4211s	by an orange Hue kind of similar to how
4214s	this high risk area in front of me is
4215s	highlighted kind of similar uh it's just
4218s	like the general outline of it just to
4220s	make it more distinct
4222s	and um I mean so far we felt like that's
4225s	been a pretty good solution to it
4228s	um we haven't heard any necessary
4230s	complaints regarding it seems to be
4232s	pretty straightforward but if you have
4234s	if you have a thought if you have an
4236s	idea and you're like man it would be so
4237s	much cooler if uh I mean forums are
4240s	definitely open on that front but
4243s	we we do feel pretty good about the
4245s	level of transparency that it provides
4247s	at this time
4252s	that's all me done I'll be back in a bit
4254s	okay so we are now driving right into a
4258s	high-risk area where enemies explode so
4260s	I don't want to be close to them as I'm
4262s	being way too close to them
4265s	and uh we're just gonna
4267s	test how things come together
4271s	and I also want you to listen to this
4272s	music because I think this is new music
4299s	foreign
4308s	all these armored folks
4333s	oh wait I have a way to deal with this
4339s	come back to me
4341s	oh no
4351s	okay Shields are back
4361s	goodness gravy
4364s	let's get a quick breather
4368s	all right
4371s	let's make a general minefield
4382s	I thought these guys were supposed to be
4384s	chill
4394s	oh
4412s	so many missiles
4440s	give me those Minds back though it's
4444s	working
4449s	foreign
4476s	man that felt good
4479s	all right
4487s	honestly I kind of want to keep my range
4490s	here
4491s	ah but I need a I don't have an up close
4495s	energy damage I'll have to get close
4504s	oh this is this is nothing oh this is
4507s	fine I can't believe I was concerned
4510s	[Music]
4514s	there we go
4525s	no big deal guys I'm not sweating or
4527s	anything that's a super chill super easy
4530s	light stream for you all today you know
4532s	just kind of like taking things very
4534s	casually
4535s	I just kind of
4541s	I feel good about that that felt that
4543s	felt right things came together look at
4545s	this hello
4547s	hello
4550s	hmm
4551s	that's that's awfully tempting oh man
4556s	that's awfully oh
4561s	all right we are gonna cycle out our
4565s	cruise missiles that we have uh but uh
4567s	my goodness there's too much stuff here
4569s	and I don't want to spend all this time
4570s	going through my equipment uh because I
4573s	just want to show you stuff that's just
4574s	how this beat that's what I want to do
4576s	uh so uh we're just gonna we're just
4579s	gonna leave it or people are gonna be
4580s	mad at me for that
4583s	we just gotta leave it see you later
4585s	loot
4587s	oh man
4588s	playing a looter shooter leaving the
4590s	loot
4591s	I'm making somebody die inside
4595s	all right let's head back to base oh
4597s	wait I don't know if I can
4599s	[Music]
4602s	let's go to the space instead
4604s	like a glove
4609s	you know the irony of this is that that
4611s	high risk location was under my level
4616s	so if anybody thinks oh man look at it
4619s	the developer is bragging about playing
4621s	their own game like goodness gravy get
4623s	over yourself guys I was two levels
4626s	higher than that whole engagement
4629s	whoo
4631s	there's a little bit of a humble check
4633s	for you right there
4636s	uh I mean I suppose I could be like in
4639s	my defense
4640s	but whatever all right let's go doc
4645s	let's go doc let's look at some options
4649s	goodness
4661s	a little too much speed there
4664s	there we go that's a pretty looking ship
4668s	hello bomber
4670s	all right
4672s	quick duck
4675s	restock
4676s	[Music]
4678s	let's just look at the ships
4681s	just because we can nice present
4686s	I mean I would change but I feel like we
4688s	need to continue this opportunity to
4690s	show The Sentinel today
4693s	because for anybody who somehow missed
4696s	the title
4698s	The Sentinel did get its uh special
4701s	changed
4702s	[Music]
4706s	and so now instead of it being defensive
4708s	we made it offensive
4710s	so its Primary Weapons deal up to 40
4711s	increased energy damage and that depends
4714s	on how much of your Shield is remaining
4717s	it's not based on the shield amount like
4720s	it's not based on this number
4722s	it's based on the percentage that it
4725s	remains so when it's completely maxed
4728s	out it provides 40 out of damage if it
4730s	was at like 50 percent it would have 20
4732s	percent
4734s	if it's at 50 it adds 20 oh man it's
4738s	always fun talking about percentages
4739s	isn't it all right
4743s	but that's how it works
4747s	all right so we're gonna clean up some
4750s	of our inventory now uh
4752s	and we're gonna do so through the tried
4755s	and true method
4757s	of selling everything
4761s	just don't look at it and it doesn't
4763s	hurt as bad right
4765s	foreign
4775s	doesn't have a lot of uh crafting
4777s	ingredients yeah look at Starfire star
4780s	charged conduit we could probably use
4782s	more of those but
4784s	I guess
4785s	oh we got to Eco all right that could be
4788s	fun to add to a booster especially if we
4792s	have a recharge booster oh my gosh
4795s	that's uh
4797s	actually that's that's key to a good
4800s	race honestly I feel like that's a
4802s	really good benefit if we slapped on
4804s	that ecobooster
4807s	lasts longer
4811s	all right
4818s	all right
4819s	okay
4821s	we need a sell-all button oh my gosh
4824s	I'm not sure if we I'm not sure if we do
4826s	I think that's encouraging poor uh poor
4830s	gameplay
4831s	thank you
4832s	for gameplay experience
4834s	man we haven't like gotten any of the
4837s	things
4839s	we haven't clear out anything I also see
4841s	that we don't have a marker yet
4845s	for the races I thought we added those
4848s	am I crazy speaking of races uh we
4852s	should actually look at a racetrack so
4854s	this is actually a pretty good spot to
4856s	hear let's go back to base real quick
4857s	we're gonna save at the base
4861s	I think we're gonna show you what's been
4863s	tweaked about the the races because I
4865s	think that's a it's a good one and we
4866s	have just enough time before we dive
4868s	into more questions as well as
4872s	um
4872s	foreign
4873s	your screenshots your screenshots of
4875s	course
4877s	how could we forget about those you ask
4881s	you know the initial game plan was to
4883s	show screenshots every other week but
4885s	you guys are just pounding out so many
4887s	screenshots it's like become just a
4889s	weekly thing which thanks for that it's
4891s	pretty awesome
4892s	no map markers in the build yet how dare
4894s	you torben I can't I can't believe it
4896s	with all of the work that you've put
4898s	into racing across the board making it
4900s	so super delightful and you haven't made
4902s	a map marker in the words of another
4904s	member of our community literally
4906s	unplayable I just I can't believe it
4908s	that's just it's awful
4912s	anyway we're gonna say
4914s	first stream beautiful done
4918s	all right so now we are going to
4922s	we're gonna load our racing one
4926s	beautiful true true he says oh
4933s	nonsense uh so torben since you're here
4936s	let's talk about this shall we let's
4938s	talk about this
4940s	we got we got some improvements and some
4942s	updates and some happiness going on
4944s	um so first off we have this holographic
4947s	thing to for a couple a couple reasons
4950s	one is to make it uh more visible when
4953s	you first start
4955s	or what to find it
4957s	um but then the racing itself it's it's
4959s	pretty standard like you're gonna notice
4961s	that this is very similar to what I did
4963s	last time but there are a couple of
4965s	little tweaks and that is there's one
4968s	blue ring one yellow ring and then all
4972s	of the other Rings almost all the other
4973s	Rings you can see in a gray sort of
4977s	outline so you can kind of see uh a lot
4980s	of what's coming up actually you can
4982s	technically see more but it's much more
4984s	clear as to where you need to go next
4986s	okay
4989s	so much more clear on that front
4993s	[Music]
4997s	and the other thing is that we added
4999s	somebody's going to be so happy about
5000s	this but here let me make it just a
5002s	little bit more clear
5003s	if you look at that text
5006s	you see where we added you see it
5009s	you can tell which ship
5012s	finish the race at that time very simple
5015s	addition and I know a lot of you wanted
5017s	it
5018s	um I'm not going to say that we had
5019s	plans to do this already uh to make you
5022s	feel better so it was definitely a
5024s	community suggestion and wasn't
5025s	initially internally
5029s	is that was that by the script torvin is
5031s	that did that go well all right oh
5034s	but yeah so now we've added that you're
5036s	always going to have your top five and
5039s	you can see which ships you've raced
5040s	with so if you are super after racing
5043s	and the bragging rights uh surrounding
5046s	that and say like oh my gosh well I
5048s	completed this race at Platinum with my
5050s	gunship with my inertia dampeners off
5052s	and blah blah blah blah you can at least
5054s	prove that it was with the gunship but
5057s	you probably still want to like record
5058s	the race regardless
5061s	um but yeah
5063s	so just nice little additional effect
5065s	there uh pay no attention to what this
5068s	could possibly mean I definitely don't
5070s	want to show that in the course of a
5072s	stream because that might reveal some
5073s	some possible connection to something
5076s	else going on I don't know maybe uh so
5079s	yeah just everybody cleanse your eyes
5081s	you never saw that uh totally wasn't
5084s	meant to be seen
5086s	um and yeah
5088s	so we're pretty pretty dang happy with
5090s	how the races are coming along we also
5092s	did I you can't see them here but we
5095s	also did uh adjust the values the times
5099s	for all the races
5100s	um it's probably gonna be tweaked again
5102s	like once you guys get your hands on the
5104s	um experimental build there's a chance
5106s	that maybe we like make some additional
5108s	uh tweaks but um I do want to just put a
5111s	lot of emphasis on this once again even
5113s	though I've done it so many times it's
5115s	kind of ridiculous
5117s	all of this fun stuff to the races has
5120s	just been a pleasure for us to be able
5123s	to work on it has not been any sense of
5128s	a priority in the overarching everspace
5131s	to development this is not like a key
5134s	aspect of the game this is straight up
5137s	for funsies and we did manage to
5139s	incorporate this in some Mission chains
5142s	which you'll find out in the future uh
5145s	just to like really bring all of that
5147s	home the mission chain itself you're not
5149s	gonna have like any sort of like
5151s	super crazy hard time with these like
5153s	especially if you don't like racing so
5155s	like if you completely suck at
5157s	controlling your ship and you're just
5158s	like constantly you know you play on
5161s	very easy and you know all those types
5164s	of things don't worry about it we also
5165s	want to make sure that everything is
5167s	accessible to where it can be completed
5170s	by anybody of any age of any skill level
5173s	like we want that to be at the core of
5175s	everything we design
5177s	uh and racing is no different so uh yeah
5181s	I do think that those of you who
5184s	seriously love racing are going to enjoy
5187s	a lot of what's being added to this and
5190s	there's still one more tweak that will
5192s	occur that I think is really going to
5194s	bring this home one other little detail
5197s	about this and I'm flying a Vanguard
5199s	that doesn't have any alts but
5202s	um
5202s	the Vanguard has been able to Super
5205s	Cheese these Races by using its alt
5208s	which halves time okay internally in the
5212s	game logic it haves time so you're
5214s	moving at double time
5216s	um and you can complete the races at
5217s	double time uh so if I were to like have
5221s	gotten this exact same score here and I
5224s	had my alts on then that would
5226s	effectively have been about a 19 second
5228s	race at 18 and a half second rates uh
5232s	yeah
5233s	we removed the ability to do that
5236s	um so we want the races to feel
5240s	at least decently fair for what's being
5244s	accomplished so we don't want any
5245s	particular ship to have this crazy
5247s	Advantage but we do want the different
5250s	ships to have that uniqueness they
5252s	provide through their handling you know
5253s	through their um through their speed
5256s	through certain items that you have uh
5259s	like we want you to be able to cultivate
5261s	a healthy space flying racer if you want
5266s	to go that route like we want to provide
5268s	those opportunities
5270s	but we are eliminating those incredibly
5274s	Preposterous exploitive tools and we did
5278s	feel that alts were one of those there's
5281s	another one that we also feel is rather
5283s	exploitive and there's going to be
5284s	another modification in the future which
5288s	torben do you know if we'll be able to
5289s	have that next week as well do you know
5292s	which one I'm talking about
5293s	wink twice if you know what you want to
5295s	talk
5298s	laughs
5303s	um but regardless uh
5305s	we want it to be as Fair as possible
5307s	across the board but we also want there
5309s	to be uh uniquenesses for each ship and
5312s	how you're using them awesome
5319s	okay yeah see perfect well that's going
5321s	to be exciting so we'll have two little
5323s	updates for next week's stream and
5325s	that'll be a lot of fun
5326s	that'll be super fun
5330s	oh Caden asked a really important
5331s	question and torben I'm really glad that
5333s	you're here because I don't know if we
5336s	have internally decided on this actually
5339s	so um we're going to answer this right
5341s	now I'm putting in a priority because
5342s	this is the racing segment uh the
5345s	question is can you boost and teleport
5346s	gadgets and races to get even crazier
5348s	times
5351s	I'm gonna let I'm gonna wait for torben
5353s	to respond and then I'm going to uh talk
5354s	about it
5358s	he says yes
5360s	I don't know somebody out there is like
5362s	but you just said the fairness factors
5363s	blah blah blah okay so check this out
5365s	all right check this out for the race
5368s	times that we are plugging in for all
5372s	the races across the board
5375s	those are
5377s	races very doable
5380s	just using boost and navigating the
5383s	racetrack
5384s	if you want to get super crazy wild with
5388s	devices
5390s	consumables a couple other little tools
5393s	and stuff like that to like really
5394s	maximize a race time you know what
5397s	we encourage it have fun this is a side
5401s	mission it's meant to be enjoyed at your
5404s	leisure how you want to do it
5406s	but know that for the standard of the
5409s	times we did not use all those crazy
5411s	tools
5413s	we did not use all those crazy tools
5416s	all right
5421s	yeah we don't feel it's too exploiting
5425s	we know players are going to be really
5427s	good about it and they're going to show
5429s	high level skill and that's great show
5431s	that skill have fun with it
5436s	but if you're just looking to complete
5438s	races especially because the side
5439s	mission told you to do so
5442s	it's not it's I promise you guys
5445s	We're not gonna pull your arms and legs
5447s	out
5448s	you're not gonna have to like become the
5450s	greatest
5452s	ever Space 2 pilot of all time to get
5454s	these times making it accessible all
5457s	right
5458s	so now all of that stuff is talked about
5461s	and done
5462s	now it's time to uh answer some more
5465s	questions and also you know go into
5467s	screenshots so give me one second for a
5470s	transition and then we'll Jump Right In
5472s	it'll be great
5489s	foreign
5493s	[Music]
5501s	[Music]
5508s	foreign
5512s	Space 2 Community Edition where we
5516s	highlight your screenshots that you've
5518s	provided all of these traditionally come
5520s	from the Discord that's where I grab
5523s	them while we are doing this segment we
5526s	will be showcasing your screenshots and
5528s	geekbite is on the line he will be
5530s	asking those questions that you've been
5532s	plugging away in the chat and I will be
5535s	providing as much clarity as I possibly
5537s	can and uh yeah isn't this a beautiful
5540s	butterfly by the way this is from dark
5542s	chaos highlighting the Reflections in
5545s	everspace 2 and uh I think you even
5548s	called it the butterfly effect so
5550s	incredibly clever incredibly clever so
5552s	geekbite if you got a question to start
5554s	me off let's have it
5556s	cool I've got one that I'm just gonna
5558s	throw in if you have time at any point
5562s	um there's been a challenge thrown down
5564s	to you from the YouTube from Bearded
5566s	Frog and he wants to see you do a first
5568s	person mode race in the bomber
5573s	so you wish death upon me and my family
5577s	um I can uh we can we can try that
5581s	uh
5583s	I can have my inertia dampeners though
5585s	right at least give me some he'll give
5588s	you some control over this foreign
5591s	all right anyway
5593s	go
5594s	um we had a different question from
5597s	Finns on YouTube and once upon a time
5599s	there were blocker blockers and blocker
5601s	blocker blockers in the game yeah all
5603s	these anyhow be present in 1.0 in any
5606s	shape or form so
5612s	silly stuff placeholders if you will
5615s	um and that one was technically a
5616s	placeholder now
5618s	um it's also something that kind of grew
5621s	on a number of people kind of like bear
5623s	might and so there are certain things
5625s	that were like you know what maybe we
5626s	can do something more with it
5629s	um whenever uh we streamed about the
5632s	blocker blocker there's a question about
5633s	it in the past
5635s	um I had said it was going to be changed
5637s	it was going to be removed and then
5638s	Michael jumped in he was like what why
5641s	the CEO jumped in and I believe he's
5644s	still present I think Michael's still
5645s	here he jumped in he's like no no we
5647s	need to keep it it's fun it's great
5649s	so um
5651s	it might be making a splendid return in
5655s	the future that's uh definitely all I'm
5657s	gonna say on that one but uh yeah we
5659s	hear you on that front
5661s	um we do want to make sure that the game
5662s	you know overall like with its focus
5664s	being a looter shooter of course we
5666s	still want there to be like these fun
5667s	little aspects surrounding that uh
5670s	design forward and you know if we can
5672s	hearken into
5674s	referential things that you guys enjoyed
5676s	then sure yeah we'll absolutely uh
5679s	absolutely try and satisfy those things
5681s	so
5682s	that'll be good yeah Michael says I
5684s	still want my blocker blocker look at
5686s	him look at him go I love it thank you
5687s	Michael I appreciate that so um yeah I
5690s	guess I should say that there isn't a
5692s	guarantee I should say that so I I do
5694s	need to curb expectations on that front
5696s	but this is something well known and
5699s	something that uh you know if we do have
5701s	some time uh to implement something
5703s	surrounding the blocker blocker that we
5706s	are going to move in that direction all
5708s	right this shot comes from the chemical
5710s	bro I'm not a hundred percent sure what
5713s	weapon or effect is happening here
5715s	I'm not like At first I kind of thought
5718s	it was a teleporter effect but
5721s	um regardless of what's Happening uh I
5724s	love this shot I love the colors I love
5726s	the ship and it's shininess everything
5729s	just makes me happy and I wanted to
5731s	share it with you geekbite give me
5733s	another question
5735s	I what if I had one
5737s	oh okay my goodness
5740s	folks we need more we need more
5743s	questions we need more questions so ask
5745s	me more questions as I'm delivering the
5747s	goods your beautiful screenshots and
5749s	when we get them I mean shoot I might
5751s	even be able to just answer them
5752s	straight up uh from the chats as I see
5756s	them so uh go ahead and shoot actually I
5758s	do see one it looks like there was a a
5760s	follow-up regarding racing I think
5764s	true racing is not a main focus of a
5767s	looter shooter but well-made mini games
5769s	and larger game is one neat thing well
5771s	yeah sure that's why we've been putting
5772s	a little bit of extra attention into it
5774s	but also keep in mind that with that
5777s	like
5778s	you know like we can't prioritize all of
5781s	our time all of our resources into
5783s	making the racing minigame into like its
5786s	own game like with what we've done
5789s	already and you can even ask you can
5790s	straight up ask torben with us the
5792s	allotted time that we had to work on
5795s	racing versus the time that we've
5796s	committed to it we've already put in so
5799s	much more and there's a certain point
5801s	where we have to say we're done so that
5804s	we can focus on that main priority which
5806s	is the looter shooter the itemization
5809s	the missions the enemy variety the
5812s	storyline for that matter the end game
5815s	oh my gosh like if you could have us
5818s	either work and dedicate our time to
5820s	making uh a super complete racing
5823s	Mini-Game inside of a looter shooter or
5826s	have meaningful looter shooter in-game
5829s	content which would you choose you can
5830s	only have one
5832s	those are the types of questions we have
5834s	to ask internally and we've made our
5835s	choice so I hope that you understand why
5839s	we are very happy though sincerely we
5842s	are very happily with what we've been
5844s	able to accomplish with racing it feels
5846s	really really good and I'm excited to
5847s	show you how it all ties together uh
5850s	hopefully this fall update I think I
5854s	think it should be ready this fall
5855s	update
5856s	so uh that should be that should be
5858s	pretty cool so dark chaos has yet
5860s	another shot for us and then we're gonna
5862s	go into a slew of everspace one
5864s	screenshots you guys have been diving
5866s	back into some Nostalgia and I love it
5868s	so much ah so uh this one comes from
5871s	dark chaos just having a splendid old
5873s	time in I think this is Drake I'm pretty
5876s	sure that's Drake uh
5879s	but it's uh
5880s	great shots I love I love these shots
5883s	that you get a huge expanse of the area
5886s	surrounding the space
5888s	uh super super cool
5890s	um so uh keep it up dark chaos you
5893s	continue to to bring together some
5895s	really neat shots
5897s	really dig it
5899s	um
5900s	he bought any questions
5902s	we have we've got some rolling in now
5905s	um
5908s	from handy4 on Twitch any more thoughts
5911s	on the balance of having to remove level
5913s	restrictions on items oh so much so much
5918s	we could get into such a massive
5920s	conversation about this but um rest
5922s	assured that the way that itemization
5925s	works and the level progression and
5928s	frankly the level scaling oh man I'm
5930s	getting close I'm on this line
5933s	um there's a lot of stuff uh that we are
5936s	uh somewhat happy with or not happy with
5939s	in the current game Space of everspace
5942s	too and there will be adjustments I can
5944s	100 guarantee that so I even said it
5947s	earlier in the Stream whenever I was um
5949s	adjusting the uh Rarity no it was the
5953s	requirement it was the higher level and
5954s	I was removing the the higher level
5957s	requirement right
5959s	um and saying that it was kind of like
5960s	this almost standard that we have like
5962s	you're always doing it it almost feels
5965s	like a natural response to if you find
5967s	something higher level instead of
5968s	actually waiting until you're higher
5970s	level or other factors at all
5973s	um and we're taking note of that we we
5975s	want to make it feel good and feel right
5977s	as opposed to it almost feeling like a
5979s	chore oh I found a higher level item I
5982s	have to scrap some stuff in order to
5983s	have the resources to boost it up to
5985s	have access to it you know like it
5987s	doesn't feel
5989s	it doesn't feel good it just feels like
5993s	you have to do it and so um yeah tweaks
5996s	and balances and all that stuff
5998s	definitely coming do appreciate your
6001s	insights on it uh your inside just being
6003s	your general feedback because it sounds
6005s	like you'd like there to be something
6006s	else more transformed you know uh so
6009s	we'll see what we can do
6012s	this screenshot comes from BW Lambert's
6014s	by the way and his flying through Drake
6018s	um and you guys like this one there were
6020s	there were a couple thumbs up on it so I
6023s	wanted to share it I think that it's a
6025s	nice pleasant little adventure and feels
6026s	very much like you are almost watching
6030s	like a a sequence taking place
6034s	um I dig it
6035s	I dig it very very good
6038s	so yeah very very cool
6041s	I'm going to transition over to a shot
6043s	from Flory I love this one and I'll
6046s	receive another question if you will
6050s	certainly can this was being asked
6052s	across both YouTube and twitch and oh
6054s	good basically it's and this one
6056s	specifically capability Frog as well how
6059s	are you doing today Eric oh what a
6062s	pleasant question Bearded Frog that's so
6064s	lovely speaking of love this shot by
6067s	flori uh is actually titled something
6070s	about First Love or lovebirds or
6072s	something like that um I think it's very
6074s	appropriate I think it's it's very fun
6075s	this is actually an event this is an
6078s	encounter that happens in everspace one
6080s	and this is an individual known as Carly
6083s	sharp if you guys haven't played the DLC
6086s	in everspace one what are you doing with
6088s	your lives it adds so much content it's
6090s	insane like it's so good if you own
6093s	everspace one you have got to own the
6095s	DLC like and if you're pinched for cash
6097s	you're like I don't want to spend ten
6098s	dollars
6100s	like you're being kind of cheap but I
6102s	get you I understand like just wish list
6104s	it wait for a sale boom buy it like
6106s	seriously it I had so much content it is
6109s	great how am I doing I am doing so much
6112s	better
6113s	um I had several insanely stressful
6116s	weeks
6117s	um but you know my Fridays give me so
6119s	much life hanging out with you guys
6121s	sincerely that's I'm not even like I'm
6123s	not even sugar coating that not brown
6125s	nosing you all uh these streams give me
6127s	so much energy you can probably tell
6130s	um and just like the Casual engagements
6132s	of the Discord they help so much and uh
6134s	seeing the progress too that we've been
6136s	making uh bringing all of these elements
6139s	together it adds to that pile I could
6141s	also get into like private family life
6144s	it feels kind of weird if I were to do
6145s	that but uh in short my kids are great
6147s	my wife is great happy wife happy life
6149s	as they say and uh yeah it's wonderful
6154s	all right so I love that question such a
6156s	delightful question very thoughtful uh
6159s	don't really get that that much and uh
6161s	you know when it does happen it's it
6164s	stands out it's very pleasant so I do
6165s	appreciate that this next shot comes
6168s	from
6170s	BW Lambert again also uh from the
6173s	original everspace I had to do a quick
6175s	Double Take on it to make sure and then
6177s	I realized that it has it right in the
6179s	bottom right corner
6181s	um but uh I love the way that the shadow
6184s	casts on the Rings almost making the
6187s	outside look like they're completely
6188s	gone but then you start seeing them
6190s	again
6191s	um and I'm told that this is how it
6194s	authentically looks out in space so
6197s	there was great care in how this was
6199s	composed for the visuals of everspace
6202s	one
6203s	so pretty neat pretty neat ask me
6207s	another question as we dive into another
6210s	smoking hot everspace one scene from
6213s	flori
6214s	oh right crispy muffin on Twitch asks I
6217s	noticed rapid and Powerful catalysts
6219s	have the same DPS change at least on my
6222s	coil gun meaning rapid is almost
6224s	pointless when I can pick up powerful
6226s	which gives the same DPS for Less energy
6228s	cost and build requirements
6231s	um I think that's going to depend on
6233s	what you're trying to accomplish with
6235s	the build because I would actually argue
6236s	if you have uh if you're wanting like
6239s	more critical hit chance like if you're
6241s	trying to proc certain effects then
6243s	powerful is not better you want to go
6245s	for Rapid
6246s	um because you want to get more shots in
6248s	even though the damage is less because
6252s	you're hitting more hits that means more
6254s	opportunities with any of those
6255s	additional procking effects to occur now
6258s	if you are going for a build that says
6260s	screw proc effects I'm trying to like
6262s	One-Shot Johnson uh then yeah powerful
6264s	is definitely your better option there I
6266s	don't think one is inherently better
6267s	than the other and I think that as far
6270s	as the design has gone thus far I feel
6273s	like we're pretty happy with where
6274s	that's at too
6276s	um but uh uh yeah I mean that's gonna be
6279s	your big reasons for choosing one over
6281s	the other I think
6283s	um but uh otherwise
6286s	I think that's that that's it
6289s	so uh but yeah like I said this one this
6291s	hot shot comes from Flory and uh I I
6296s	want to know the outcome of this run
6297s	flori did you make it did you did you
6300s	succeed because that ship doesn't look
6302s	like it's having a good time
6304s	um really curious I don't see oh what's
6307s	that oh that's just a Corvette okay for
6309s	a second I I thought that was a frigate
6311s	but no that's not a frigate what's that
6313s	is that a frigate no that's just laser
6315s	fire
6316s	I have to know oh you did survive
6318s	Nanobots for the win oh excellent
6320s	fantastic
6321s	good to hear yeah the up close and
6323s	personal with these Suns and this uh the
6325s	roguelite loop like they can be such a
6327s	hindrance because everything starts
6328s	overheating and you have to like move it
6330s	or lose it really enjoy the
6332s	visualization of these spaces and uh
6335s	that's so telling of where you're gonna
6338s	be at when you get here too like I love
6340s	that you're like flying out by the seat
6342s	of your pants from a previous engagement
6344s	just trying to survive and then you like
6346s	run into the star and just like oh crap
6349s	it feels it's it's wonderful absolutely
6352s	wonderful another shot from Flory is in
6355s	this dark nebula and man I love this
6358s	impending doom from afar it's hard to
6361s	make it out but that is in fact an okar
6364s	frigate and uh that just looks
6368s	oh I get I get goosebumps thinking about
6371s	my engagements in these dark nebulon all
6373s	right another question
6376s	uh we have Derek over on YouTube asking
6379s	would you add a scrap all a white blue
6383s	green blue items oh like similar to the
6386s	Diablo forage and uh Diablo 3 Forge I
6389s	guess I should say
6390s	um you know I don't necessarily know if
6393s	that's on the table or not I know that
6396s	we've had discussions about faster
6399s	um scrapping
6400s	um we are putting a lot of emphasis on
6403s	like what it would look like from
6404s	controller support as well because we
6406s	are going to be launching inevitably uh
6408s	for consoles
6409s	and um you know there there is an
6412s	accessibility Factor there that could be
6414s	very beneficial for just pushing a
6416s	button as opposed to like highlighting
6417s	through with especially like dual
6419s	joysticks
6421s	um but yeah there's nothing set in stone
6423s	about about going that direction
6427s	um I definitely think that is a nice to
6429s	have feature and if it's not on our
6432s	plate I'm sure that the people that are
6434s	watching the stream as well as myself
6437s	um will definitely at least raise the
6439s	question of possibility but I honestly
6441s	can't guarantee anything
6443s	I do agree that it would be a nice
6445s	feature but um
6448s	we'll have to see we'll have to we'll
6449s	have to look at timetables we'll have to
6451s	look at delivery we'll have to look at
6453s	all that fun stuff so but I like it all
6456s	right let's jump over to another image
6459s	from herb
6461s	BRB uh they pointed they they said oh my
6464s	gosh this looks like uh Disney is in
6467s	inside of that first space ah it's kind
6470s	of the formation of this particular okar
6474s	City that you're looking at here but uh
6476s	definitely definitely not Disneyland
6479s	that's for sure
6481s	but man gosh I just the DLC adds so much
6485s	to Aerospace one guys like it's insane I
6488s	just I I can't I'm not even like
6491s	telling you guys to go play it because
6493s	like I want your money and I'm the
6494s	developers like give me your money buy
6496s	buy all the things the game like
6497s	sincerely like everspace one
6501s	is good
6503s	everspace ones at a DLC is great like it
6508s	just it like completes so much and it
6511s	brings together this experience like no
6514s	other and I really do just like got to
6518s	get the DLC if you don't have it it's so
6520s	good guys it adds so much to the game
6523s	like it's it's nuts all right next
6526s	question as I cycle over to Med beds
6529s	incredibly explosive zorilia shot
6533s	uh this one's from Finn's uh over on
6536s	YouTube regarding potential mod support
6539s	uh which possibly sometime or after 1.0
6542s	if it does come would we be able to
6545s	create our own race courses
6548s	um I mean I think that's going to depend
6549s	on uh what the modder wants to try to
6552s	accomplish but at this time uh the
6555s	answer would be no like that's not
6558s	something that we're like it's not
6560s	planned it's not planned I should say
6562s	um I think that sounds awesome though I
6565s	really do that sounds amazing that also
6568s	sounds like a a bit of extra work and
6571s	maybe even torben could uh say something
6574s	on that if he's still around uh because
6576s	I don't know
6577s	I mean I don't know the process of how
6579s	that would be integrated through mod
6581s	support even remotely I'm not going to
6583s	pretend to to understand it but um
6587s	but that does imply that we have mod
6590s	support and that in and of itself uh we
6593s	still have the exact same response to
6595s	that that we've had for a pretty long
6596s	time which is it would be super awesome
6600s	everybody in our team agrees like having
6602s	mod support for Aerospace 2 would be so
6605s	freaking cool but it is not something
6608s	that we can put on the priority list we
6610s	have still a lot of content that we want
6612s	to bring forward not only because we
6614s	want it to be in the game because of our
6616s	vision but also because of promises
6618s	we've made like we've got a nail that
6620s	first that is Priority One
6624s	um so if we can reach a level of adding
6627s	mod support which would absolutely be
6629s	after 1.0 release
6631s	then you know
6633s	custom races man that does sound really
6636s	cool but I don't know how realistically
6640s	uh even torben says yeah really tough
6642s	call to manage expectations I'd have to
6645s	go with a no here okay and torben to to
6647s	give a little bit of clarity he's the
6649s	one who's been putting a lot of work
6650s	surrounding the races and how that all
6653s	needs to come together so
6655s	um yeah that would take a healthy amount
6657s	of modding I'm sure and I'm sure
6659s	somebody out there could do it in 24
6661s	hours because they devote every single
6663s	ounce of their energy to it and drink
6665s	way too many Red Bulls you know whatever
6666s	but that's just not our Focus so uh so
6671s	uh but what our focus is it's the
6673s	community screenshots like what you see
6674s	right here from Medved oh my gosh the
6676s	explosions
6677s	so good I I really like this shot just
6679s	because it really it just it speaks so
6682s	clearly about what the zurlia are all
6685s	about yeah maybe there's a ton of
6687s	Destruction going on but it just seems
6690s	incredibly fitting for just these large
6693s	pillars of fiery goodness surrounding
6696s	this zirulia Destroyer everything about
6699s	this screenshot just feels right and it
6703s	also has some pretty decent framing uh
6705s	so well done I like that shot I like
6708s	that shot quite a bit we're going back
6710s	over to everspace one again I told you
6713s	we got a lot of Aerospace one shots it's
6714s	pretty wild
6716s	um this one comes from flori and this
6719s	one's just a little slice of Drake I
6722s	suppose uh some cloudy nebulous cotton
6725s	candy Fields uh but you got the ice
6728s	asteroids so what's going on here is
6730s	this where could I find this it's close
6732s	to uh close to a planet
6735s	but regardless very very cool everspace
6738s	one shot
6739s	and seeing those clouds I love how
6741s	they're different colors
6743s	really brings a nice pop to how
6745s	everything comes together this next one
6747s	comes from the guy who's reading off
6750s	your questions this is a geek bite shot
6752s	also from outer space one yeah and um
6755s	this this almost looks like a a poster
6758s	shot honestly like you getting you're
6760s	getting a lot of the feels of what the
6762s	game offers uh you're getting a little
6765s	bit of a tease of certain things like
6766s	you know this debris field and this very
6769s	lower corner that I'm blocking here uh
6771s	like what what's going on there you've
6773s	got this planet this very rich looking
6775s	Planet that's close by with this
6777s	asteroid field that's dotted with so
6779s	many different things there's a hole
6781s	over there you see this super very small
6784s	green looking things like what's going
6785s	on there
6787s	um all encompassing regarding like the
6790s	process to everspace one like in a
6792s	nutshell it's this is it you don't know
6795s	what's around the corner but there's a
6797s	lot going on and you're gonna have to
6798s	find out
6800s	so uh go ahead and give me another
6801s	question as I transition to flory's
6805s	explosive shot against an okar frigate
6808s	also an Aerosmith
6811s	a bit of an inquiring question any
6815s	particular fun weapon or device ideas
6817s	that have to be scrapped due to time
6819s	technical limitations
6822s	okay I want you to read that question
6823s	off one more time because I want to
6824s	answer this very very accurately and
6827s	very carefully
6829s	yes don't give too much away Michael's
6831s	still here yeah
6834s	any particular fun weapon or device
6837s	ideas that had to be scrapped due to
6840s	time technical limitations
6844s	I'm not even sure
6847s	like if I could speak on this
6850s	would I speak on it
6852s	because there's always the chance
6855s	that we could bring an idea that we have
6858s	that just wasn't quite working or it
6860s	didn't really fit the bill or we simply
6861s	didn't have time that it could still
6864s	show up so
6866s	um
6867s	I think the very simple short answer is
6870s	yeah we've definitely created some ideas
6872s	that were like oh yeah let's see what
6874s	this looks like and we implement it
6875s	we're like that's dumb and we just have
6878s	to you know it doesn't work it just
6880s	doesn't work right and sometimes it's
6882s	granted it's a little bit more rare than
6884s	normal sometimes you can't really tell
6886s	if it works or not until you implement
6888s	it and try it out now I will say we have
6890s	not wasted a lot of time on situations
6893s	like that a lot of the Weaponry has
6897s	already kind of been
6899s	fine-tuned for us through the events of
6901s	everspace one
6903s	uh so a lot of that kind of stems from
6905s	where we come from uh but yeah I mean we
6908s	still want to create some unique
6910s	outliers and have some playful
6912s	engagements with tools that you don't
6914s	traditionally
6916s	gain right
6917s	um so yeah I mean legendaries are in the
6920s	works so we'll see what happens both
6922s	from the backers that were at legendary
6925s	tier as well as legendaries that the
6928s	team you know ideas are are surrounding
6931s	so more to come on that front I just
6934s	can't really
6936s	tell you the specifics but yeah ideas
6939s	come and go
6940s	ideas come and go
6943s	but uh you know what else is going is
6945s	this Oak our frigate it is having a
6948s	really bad day I believe this is in a
6950s	Arc 9000 shot because that is just
6953s	desecrating every single hardpoint on
6956s	its posterior look at that everything is
6959s	just going down in flames pretty sure
6962s	that this is going to soon follow really
6964s	cool shot though from Flory nice hey
6966s	geekbike how many more questions do we
6968s	have oh you're awesome uh just the one
6970s	just the one okay all right so I'm gonna
6972s	go through the rest of these screenshots
6973s	and then we'll just answer any last
6975s	questions and whatnot this one's from
6977s	Kaza it's from a bug to save I had a
6980s	double take on this because I was
6982s	cataloging all of the everspace one
6983s	shots for a very very very brief second
6986s	all right I'm telling you very brief I
6988s	thought these were colonial warships and
6990s	somehow the bomber plugged into
6994s	everspace one and like I was like
6996s	freaking out I was like how is this even
6998s	remotely possible and then my brain
7000s	turned on and was like oh oh okay okay
7003s	those are this is the bug this is a bug
7005s	from quite some time ago that allows you
7008s	to generate just an absurd level of
7011s	Outlaw Destroyers
7013s	all right all is well and fine and good
7015s	um I also wanted to capture the
7017s	screenshot not only because of its
7018s	hilariousness but also as a reminder
7020s	that we will be doing a save life
7025s	um but no sincerely uh the reason why we
7028s	will have a safe wipe and when I say
7030s	save wipe I don't just mean like
7032s	whatever's in your saved folder gets
7034s	completely removed I'm talking if it is
7037s	an outdated save
7039s	then it's not going to work
7042s	like save wipe is because we want to
7045s	eliminate any and all situations and
7049s	errors that are completely dependent on
7051s	the version history of the game because
7054s	if we have to go back and adjust and fix
7056s	and correct every single version of
7059s	everspace 2 to make sure every single
7062s	save file is working
7064s	folks this isn't going to launch until
7065s	Star Citizen okay
7068s	um and we want the game to to launch you
7070s	know next year so because of that yeah
7074s	saves it's early access you guys knew
7077s	this going in I hope that you understand
7079s	why I've tried it been as clear as
7081s	possible but
7083s	um yeah that's coming it's going to wipe
7085s	so that everybody is on equal footing at
7088s	the start of the full release you get
7090s	the authentic true beautiful
7092s	experience that we envisioned that you
7095s	wanted and you know people sing praises
7098s	and all that stuff it'll be it'll be
7101s	delightful we've also got some shots
7103s	from Bradley who last minute plugged
7105s	some uh elements and uh this one was
7108s	just kind of a fun little shot I feel
7110s	like and
7111s	um
7112s	yeah I mean you can't go wrong with
7114s	Sirens C right like sirens C is just
7116s	such a beautiful location and I love how
7118s	he captures this ship with a light
7120s	amount of EMP surrounding it that
7122s	electricity uh sometimes I feel like the
7125s	visual effects can be a bit overwhelming
7128s	In the Heat of battle which they need to
7129s	be so that you understand what's
7131s	happening of course not saying it's a
7132s	bad design decision uh it's just how we
7135s	operate in the game Space but this is
7137s	captured in a way to make it feel almost
7139s	like this ship is marooned like it's
7142s	it's just simply disabled and you're
7144s	just passing by it like they have a
7146s	technical malfunction as opposed to it
7149s	being in this like Dire Straits combat
7151s	sequence and it just it it almost
7153s	provides a mood when you're looking at
7155s	this
7156s	and I thought it was incredibly Pleasant
7159s	So Nice Shot Bradley we got one more
7161s	screenshot and then we'll answer any
7163s	remaining questions uh with the time
7164s	that we have which is limited
7166s	this one also comes from Bradley uh just
7169s	a nice depth of field shot Looking At
7171s	Dem engines
7172s	from The Sentinel and uh yeah
7177s	that's a little more I can say it's just
7179s	it's just a nice nice clean shot I like
7181s	detail shots and this is detail shots
7185s	questions
7188s	last one from spoon night over on Twitch
7191s	at will and everspace 2 location also
7194s	have any similarly similarly Ultra dark
7198s	nebula oh I love this question so much
7201s	and I will also say the same thing that
7205s	I've said so much so ah I can't I can't
7209s	say more because it could happen but
7214s	everything from everspace one if we
7216s	could bring it back into everspace two
7217s	we would we that's that's the the hope
7220s	and dream in fact Michael had made
7222s	mention of the previous question or one
7224s	of the previous questions about like any
7226s	weapons that were going to be added that
7228s	we had a scrap
7229s	um or at least removed for now possibly
7232s	hopefully uh Michael says not sure if
7235s	the plasma thrower was scrapped for game
7237s	design reasons uh but uh he thinks it
7240s	was so like we had the intent to have
7242s	the plasma thrower as an available item
7245s	in everspace 2 but we had to uh yoink
7249s	that away based on a number of other
7251s	factors so that's not to say that we
7254s	couldn't see the plasma thrower in the
7256s	future okay
7257s	um but just know that like there's these
7259s	moments where it's like we're testing
7260s	we're like trying to bring things
7262s	together and it's just not working and
7264s	we gotta we gotta focus in and make the
7266s	things that are the most important come
7269s	to life
7270s	because if we're just
7272s	fiddling around and trying to get like
7274s	these little things like this item and
7276s	that item around instead of the game
7280s	the operating game then we're missing
7283s	the delivery of said game so
7287s	it's kind of how it works
7288s	so all right I think that's all the
7291s	questions I think that's indeed all
7294s	right so that's that's really good
7296s	that's really awesome I also want to
7297s	just give a very brief shout out to
7300s	torbin because torb and I know I kind of
7302s	I kind of put you in a hot seat a little
7304s	bit during the stream um but uh he's the
7306s	one who's been working on the races
