So then if someone doesn’t someone else to get credit for a kill, all that person would have to do is crash his/her own ship?

I feel like capital ships will be much deadlier when their guns can actually gimbal to the sides and auto-aim or auto-fire. Right now, it seems that the slow projectiles on capitals make them too easy to kill.

There’s been some concern about travel time in the full game once all the objects are much further apart (travel from the sun to pluto, 39.5 AU, takes over 300 minutes). Capital ships should be the solution to this, either through containing a jump drive or just an FTL warp drive. Maybe warping in formation with a capital would pull small ships along and Corvettes could have a similar but weaker ability.

A faster warp drive makes travel seamless, but if there’s no possibility of detection or interception at warp speeds, jump drives seem more optimal.

The Destroyer is all kinds of sexy. Best looking Destroyer in gaming IMO.

Work on effects: Bloom, Light rigs. Look, you can diversify the animation loops of the engine thrust type. and it’s there behind him hotly, he is gradually cooling down.

It’s ok to share, maybe helps with pre alpha weekend hype. Awesome performance at 4K.

Indeed. My hand has this uncontrollable movement that urges it to post the vid in the next weekly update. Must resist.

Ah cool. Too bad you can hear a bit my voice from the stream ( I assume? ) the first few seconds at the beginning.

Framerate is a bit choppy, is that because of the recording and did you experience that in game ?

ED, SC, LinusTechTips, Descent Underground, Guru3d.

Let me know if there are a few other good game forums I could post a I:B thread on. Maybe one more space/Sci-Fi based, and then two edging towards general gaming. But all with very high traffic for good exposure. PM me or reply this post. Ta.

The compression is a bit choppy.

I’ll post a better quality version in an hour Edit: better compressed version has been uploaded.

I didn’t notice any major frame-rate drops in game. It was a smooth experience, most of the time.

I just realized something.

The moment we have individually aiming capital ship turrets and start to see a variety of weapons for the different ships…

… remember the Kickstarter Video? The battle feeling promised there will be overdelivered by a magnitude that is hard to express.

I think the one we’re probably lacking exposure the most is reddit.
