Yeah, I have several people from the community on my ignore list over there. Some stuff is just plain sad.
Thankfully CIG don't seem very inclined to listen to these kinds of demands.
So far, the female armor is looking great imo.

Curiously, the Reddit community seems to be averse to that, even though it skews younger than than the SC community at large.
You see that type of stuff everywhere, not only regarding video games, but movie and comic book fans as well. I would have that any self respecting Sci Fi nerd would want more groan at the idea of armor like that. Thankfully most comments I have seen are happy about CIG's design choices (for the most part).
There are a few Org members that have it already. Five of them, to be exact.
Six actually. The formula for the one page of the roster wasn't updated to keep track of the 40th ship/module slot when I added the PTU tracking function, and sixth Jump was slotted in that column because somebody was trying to be sly lol. That said, one of those is probably not going to be kept, and another is owned by somebody we haven't actually met, and thus the roster might not be up to date for them. I'd only count on 3-4 making it through to the end of the ship merry-go-round of melting and buying.
Yea, they are going for 1:1 on everything with only a select few being tied to gender.
Example of the select few:
Personally I don't think there should be any restrictions for any clothing. If I want a male character to wear a dress or a female character to wear a men's suit, I should be allowed.

3.4 PTU
Actually those are concepts for two specific family members of the Hurston line. Regular peons like us will not be able to purchase those.
I'm gonna need to see receipts or else I'm going to assume you're just speculating.
Jeremiah Lee basically states this is for Hurston "Old money" management. Unless they specifically point out is for the players I assume it isn't. Saves unneeded heartbreak from an expectation they didn't explicitly nor implicitly provide. Do you have confirmation they are for players to purchase? If not, I'm going to assume you're just speculating.

Yes, I guess I am speculating, but unless they suddenly changed their design philosophy, NPCs use the same inventory system players use and anything we see on an NPC should be able to be equipable by a player(hopefully made more apparently when the physical inventory is implemented). And if they put the effort into making clothing that's able to be worn by players, why wouldn't they be purchaseable (or lootable)?
Besides, nothing from what Jermiah Lee said indicated it was for two specific NPCs, it sounded much more like he was working on the clothing aesthetic of the Hurston upper class. And there will probably be some upper class clothing stores at some point.
That is a great idea, but honest question..... Have you seen NPC's or mission givers wearing clothing and armor, maybe even unique color schemes you cannot purchase? I know you should know this, I am sure it was mentioned in the org about the stuff people in Lorville were wearing. If you look closely enough it seems to have always been this way. NPC's have always had some things unique to them that aren't purchasable. That states nothing about the inventory system, but more about the availability of certain items and color schemes. For example the subscriber armors are unique color variants of what is available in game. You cannot purchase them in the verse though.
Also since this isn't the first time Jeremiah has shown a concept spread like this. How many items from a single sheet like that survive the process? It is unlikely we will see more than one of those designs and in addition there are most likely more that they haven't shown us, to make sure there is sufficient enough variation.
I am just building my view not only off what was said, but what they did in the past and what you can see in game right now. I am not saying that it is impossible they offer them, I am just pointing out they didn't indicate that at all.

I'm hoping we can obtain everything NPCs have in game. Even if we can't purchase it, I'd like to loot it. NPC "exclusive" cosmetics could make for pretty valuable loot.
Even subscriber perks ought to be available for purchase, or at least acquisition, in game eventually. The whole idea here, as repeatedly stated by CR, is that no in game items are obtained only by real money transactions.

They finally released the SQ-42 roadmap and I want it all in the PU. Give it to me.
Squadron 42 Roadmap
Squadron 42 Roadmap
They also released their 2012-2017 financials and announced that they raised $46M for the sole purpose of preparing for S42's marketing campaign in exchange for 10% of the shares at CIG.
That was an impressive the newsletter, in a good way.
As for the roadmap, I'm excited by pretty much all of their core engine tasks :).
Edit : Holy shit. The heat task description went a lot further than I ever imagined that system would. This roadmap is gold.
That one is going to be sweet.
Hey, that one too. About ship AI and pathfinding in the 'verse, which is pretty interesting given the scale and challenges posed by the physics grids.
And millions of voices cried out in joy
That one is huge, softbody-based physics and damage. I am taking the softbody qualifier with a fistful of salt given how intensive I think those simulations are, not to mention the can of worms it opens with physics grids and zones. I think it will be limited in range of deformation.
Large-scale shadows! *squees*
It's stupid but seeing that the bengal will be complete in a year really makes me smile. It's such a great ship and was the first one we saw.
The HDR pipeline and exposure improvement sound interesting as well, especially with the recent thread about light not being "bounced" into the cockpit.
That one is pretty exciting and very important for the future and variety of hardware running the game.
CE was well overdue this for SSRs. I'll always be happy to see mirrors in games again, especially if it's as efficient as RTT seems to be compared to RTX (:p).
I'm still going through it but from the depth of the core engine features alone I can feel CIG throwing around its true dev weight. Going through this the sheer amount of work to create a game keeps boggling my mind.

They hid away all the good shit on the sq42 roadmap.
Still wonder how they will handle the alpha and beta. Probably first couple chapters?

As they don't want to start with alpha until things are pretty much done, I'd wager we might get a really good look at the game. They want us to test the thing after all.
As for the process, I'm guessing it'll be similar to how we do things now. ETF release first, then staggered release to the rest of the backers with a SQ42 package.

Wild they are going even further with the locomotion for walking on stairs. I expect Metal Gear Solid style running up and down stairs or I'm going to be disappointed.
I saw that, the foot alignment thing makes an awful lot of sense when you think of it.
i thought we would have it by next year but apparently the first 6 months of 2020 will be used to polish the single player... they are aiming for beta by the 2nd half of 2020.
Realistically pen it for Q4 2021.
Just looking over the S42 roadmap it really looks like they just scrapped everything not related to mocapping and restarted its development.
Casually glancing over the financial stuff it looks like they'll need about 90mill to get to 2020 without unforeseen costs have 12 mil on hand with 45 brought in from investors. More interesting is Dan Offner being added to CIG's board. Most recently associated with Oculus and closing the deal with Facebook. My hot take is to not be surprised if Amazon will try to buy CIG, or actually do it over the next year.
Did you really look at it? They have so many things that are 50 or more tasks into completion in addition to version 2 or 3 of core tech and even "improvements" are all over it. What parts exactly leads you to believe they restarted the "entire" thing as opposed to it taking along time to complete?
Just as a metric, shubin mining facility itself is 3 times the size of a bengal carrier. Entire systems, planets, unique ships and stations are created for S42 that are not in SC PU. It is amazing to think they were further along even seeing the roadmap. It makes sense given the mechanics and core tech on the list. Some of them simply could not have been done before.

3.4/3.4.1 LIVE
Great shots Nekyrrev. The new areas look quite good, but yeah, I wish there was a bit more to do there. Lorville really needs a weapons shop and imo could do with a little more stuff to do. The potential is there at least, I hope that they keep expanding the city, but I guess the focus is on Arccorp and Area 18 for the next patch.
Holy shit, a 1 month ban for spuck.
Anyway, just bought a 9900k to replace my 6700k that just died a few days ago and getting 60+ fps with it overclocked in Lorville. Feels good walking around at that high of an fps.

Congrats on the upgrade!
Holding off on upgrading just a little longer (hoping AMD does something interesting at CES), but really can't wait to see some higher fps in more populated areas. Should be a good jump up from my old 3570k.
Did you have to upgrade your motherboard or did you use same motherboard?

Upgraded. Got the Maximus Hero XI. Old was the VIII. Just went full into it. Grabbed 32 gb of ram while I was splurging.
Took my VR money to buy this, so I hope a great headset does not come out soon. Been waiting for "gen 2".

Do you have the separate ptu launcher and is your ptu button lit up in your account settings? (It should be. I didn't have to recopy my account from earlier ptu builds, so your old login might still work).
Looks like they're running a stress test this weekend for 3.4.2 with a bunch of free fly ships as incentive.
This looks pretty cool, reactions I've read from people with hearing disabilities are also very positive. If they add something like a subtitle or action text in the chatbox i might even learn a few signs. (Knowledge of sign language is not very common where I live, unfortunately).
Off the top of my head, in 3.5 the major upgrades are:
-New flight model, and finally a true atmospheric flight model. (Plus new sounds for every ships)
-Playable female character (about time)
-New faces customization system, with basically and infinite number of variations (contrary to the finite number of heads we had until now). This will be used for players and NPCs.
-ArcCorp planet, its landing zone and its 2 moons.
ArcCorp is really looking good btw, and the fact that you can land on the tallest buildings adds a lot to the scope.

Thanks!
There have been silence the last months regarding the advancements, at least for one like myself that isn't following it so hard.
You can always check their roadmap, which is updated periodically.

Anyone else flying in the 3.5 PTU? I assume 3.5 releases more globally sometime after the 13th?
BBQ_of_DOOM, most likely will happen this weekend.
The PTU is pretty stable with high uptime. Only blocker right now is the wonky AI.
