Quantum Dispatch: Welcome to this week's Quantum Dispatch podcast with three of us. Beautiful people, if I can say so myself. It's been a fun week. We have been engaging with the Foundation Festival, showcasing what newbie players can expect to find from the game. We're already busy in chat. We've got Carlito, Screamer, Chong, Apples is here. ⁓ 07s in chat to you all. How have you been doing? With the Foundation Festival, are you enjoying the free flight or is it the bane of your life? ⁓ for me, it's not been so bad. ⁓ apart from a random guardian QI that decided that Screamer and I were gonna be his his prey. Yeah, that was that was interesting. It actually resulted in me getting out of the ship and flashing my torch at the guy going, Bro, we're empty, like chill out. He then decides to ram me, but I somehow clip inside his ship, turn off His power at his engineering terminal, forcing him out of his seat and just take him down. But unfortunately that then meant I was entombed within the Guardian QI. So any careful. Well what TOS? He rammed me in space. I didn't die. I clipped into his ship. ⁓ So yeah, there was no cheating or anything. It just he tried to ram me, he failed. I ended up and yeah. Julio's about getting 150 frames a second on his Ally X. He's paired that with a 5070 Ti mobile. Yeah, that would be very interesting to see. We need to get linked up with that. I've have you guys seen this new Acer this new Acer ta ⁓ handheld eight. We've just been talking about it. ⁓ really? Scroomer is in chat. He was given all the details on it. I saw it and I was like. I would love this thing. I want this thing. How much is this thing? 'Cause I can't find a price anywhere. I'm assuming it's gonna be far out too far out of my budget, but I want it. It's tiered, so there's yeah, there'll it sounds like there's gonna be multiple different specs of it at different price points for the price exceeding. Hopefully we'll be able to get one on on loan and see if it runs Star Citizen. Sounds like there's an issue that they're working through to get us to that point. But yeah. To run Star Citizen specifically. Yeah, so there's a problem with the Vulcan side of things. What's that? Does it have to be Vulcan? Star Citizen does. Star Citizen is forcing Vulcan these days, or at least they're they're starting to. Yeah. ⁓ right. And you can go back to DX, but there was a time they did a test where the Vulcan was the only renderer ⁓ available. Then I think that caused people problems. They took it off. It was like for like a week or something stupid, if I remember correctly. But I think the way they're gonna go will be force everyone to Vulcan. Eventually. A lot of games are doing that now. I don't mind it. I'd rather everyone be on one render if that's what if it works better. It's also what consoles are going to be using to be able to run stuff. It's Siege has a Vulcan mode so people with slower computers can run it. So yeah, it will it will go that way ultimately. I think DX is had its time. Yeah. Somewhere where that was thing. So Did try and get it up, but there was the sneak rele reveal of the the Stinger recently as well, wasn't there? The Stinger. We've had the Stinger. We have the Stinger. No, the ⁓ the Bruger Stingray? Stingray. ⁓ yes. I stand corrected. Yeah. The Stingray. Yeah, they released ⁓ the ⁓ the sneak peek for that. I don't really give you anything, gives you the colour sort of scheme. It's gotta be a racing ship. ⁓ which it actually would make sense because Kruger don't have our racing ship. they have ships that ⁓ they're they're the s the combat snubs, they're not specifically designed for racing, but I think in my eyes the the red sort of colour scheme shouts racing to me. No matter, ⁓ it'll be used for some sort of combat anyway, even if it was a race. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't I've seen this the sneak peek. It looks very it looks quite small from what I can yeah, this. Although that why is the resolution so weird? ⁓ it's not weird to me. Okay. Nothing nothing looks it doesn't give anything away. That's the idea of a sneak sneak peek, isn't it, really? Sometimes they do though. Sometimes you they get a sneak peek and you're like, well, I know exactly what that is. But this genuinely is one of those things of it's obviously the back of a shi- Yeah. Well the quote is fe feel the sting which would like obviously scream sort of combat. ⁓ Yeah. But I hope it's not. I'm getting b ⁓ there's so many combat ships. Our last racing comes is the the Peregrine. Yeah. But racing sucks right now. It does. Yeah, but I mean racing's it's at the since the flight model changed. Yeah. It's at the best point it's been since the flight. changes and then obviously they're gearing up for another system change. So it's gonna be interesting to see what we end up with. I certainly will jump in to give it a go. ⁓ but it just yeah racing doesn't have the same feel that it did back before this flight model. Hmm. Which is they've gone for a ⁓ the feeder so beforehand racing was tight twisty corners boosting and and like fast acceleration and stuff like that. Whereas I think racing is now going to be more focused for like like touring almost. ⁓ like a longer distance race, not necessarily twisty, but that's what it feels like. But if you take like the Peregrine, right? Peregrine's not doing tight twisty corners. The 350R isn't doing tight twisty corners. Like, that's got to be more of a a tourer, ⁓ like a long distance race than then you sort of like. fast paced action. ⁓ which once like refueling and stuff is in, ⁓ maybe that might be a thing. Like you do like you day marally sort of equivalent for the spaceships is just gonna be like a Le Mans like twenty four hour where you have to like land, refuel, repair and fly off again. It's maybe that's what racing should go to 'cause I think I don't know. The the racing doesn't really exist any minute. It's it's quite boring. Just think that's roughly where the the accidentally ⁓ unveiled Zeus ST comes in. That's it. Look at the size of the Zeus, right? It can't be a racer. It cannot be a racing ship. Like you put that on a on a track with you try and take it through the f on ⁓ miner's lament. Is that what it's called? No, it's not called that specific. Anyone referred to it like that. ⁓ to be fair, we have yeah, we refer to it as that. Okay. Like it's a small, small gap to get in. Okay. ⁓ and yeah, you definitely don't want that ⁓ s that size of ship that is. It's definitely not fitting through. Or it'd be a very small race for you. Yeah, I agree. Like it was yeah, it's never gonna it's never gonna be competing with small races that can fit through tight gaps and take corners really tight. And get it that acceleration 'cause it's a big ship, it's not gonna accelerate as fast as the smaller ships as well, so I don't I don't get what position it has. Probably why we haven't seen it, because racing's in the game, so why won't why not release that variant if it exists? So there I reckon they won't I'll reckon it won't be a racing variant. They'll do something else with it. Yeah. But you say that ⁓ hang on, don't mean to say that. You say that, but this exists. And this is Brand's hatch. Welcome to the con dispatch. Tonight we're watching racing. Truck racing. The most the the most American thing on the most British podcast. Thank you for the raid, my friend. Welcome to the Quantic Dispatch, the podcast that talks about all this crazy stuff that Star Citizens up to, including charge down the hill and definitely not excluding a second David Jenkins. We're watching truck racing then from you. We don't need to hear that. Sure, yeah, it's muted. It's mute. We just we'll just talk boss. We watch truck racing. This is class. ⁓ we should do we should do a parody and it's like I'll go moths and I'll go moles. ⁓ taking the shortcut over the grass. I don't I don't I have a feeling he came off. I don't think he took a shortcut. That is shortcut for real. Yeah, yeah. He just desynced into the grass. Yeah, he's just truck truck racing would be good fun. We could even yeah, yeah, I'm I'm in for it. We could take ⁓ We could take like ⁓ the what the ground vehicles, scorp not scorpions. Are they scorpions? Centurions. Spartans, I said centurions Spartans, the apple forms. That'd be so good. That would be good. A mule form. We could have people on the turrets. Yeah, yeah. Shooting at each other. Death race style. Mad Max. Yeah, that'll be that'd be that'd be pretty funny. That would be very good. I'd love to see what would be capable if they were able to sort out the physics system, which should obviously know they'll do at some point, but once they've done it, it's gonna be incredible to go out and take stuff like, you know, Ursus like this, but by then there'll be more ground vehicles with top turrets, no doubt. Yeah, that'd be great, a little death race. That would yeah, that would be that'd be class. What do we think, chat? What do we think about Star Citizen truck racing? Is it good or is it is it good? Wait, I think you need to play your your little jingle for that. Here we go. Good all It's whack. No, it's good. I think it's good. I think it's good. I'm excited for it. Speaking of being excited, chaps I think it would be a good time to announce that there are gonna be two giveaways running in this stream. I say running, they won't be pulled in this stream, but you will be able to get involved in today's stream. There is a giveaway currently running for the Basher, and there is another one that's gonna open up today for the Aurora Mark II as well. So two giveaways. Stay tuned and ⁓ I'll talk a little bit more about that and how you can get involved later in the video. So make sure you hang around to get involved with a Basher and an Aurora Mark II with LTI, all the gubbins, some good giveaways to be there. ⁓ but I think chat is fully leaning into the the beauty of truck racing in Star Citizen, by the So am I. This is my new sport to watch. So this all came about because there's the Euro trucks and not American trucks. ⁓ they are American trucks, they're just all the back. We should say any anyone that's listening on Spotify when this gets released in a couple of days ⁓ on Apple Podcasts, whatever podcast platform you listen to or podcast on, for audio listeners, we apologize. We are currently watching truck racing ⁓ at Brands Hatch in the UK. ⁓ and it's it's it's exhilarating. I would watch this over the F1, I'm just saying. Not gonna lie, this is probably the most interesting SC content that you can find currently on Twitch. So yeah. Whole B racing. Tune in next week where we're gonna be watching ⁓ something else. T Tiddly Winks. What about just any h ⁓ the h a whole series racing? So you have Hull A's, you whole B's, whole C's, and the whole C's could have people on chairs sitting on the cargo grid chucking size eight missiles at each other or bombs. It is important to remember that Abo Esports does cater for this, so you have the heavy class of like racing ships and stuff. But we it was we would start talking specifically about ground racing, weren't we? For this. ⁓ yeah, this is good. I don't want to take this down. I think you should take it down. Okay, let's take it down. No, it's good. ⁓ yeah, that'd be good for that would be a lot of fun. That would be a lot of fun. ⁓ so the question the question before the raid was how are you guys getting on with the free flyer? Are you enjoying it? Are you finding that things are a bit convoluted? Are you enjoying the new patch? Answers on the postcards. All of the postcards. You want to see Joe? I played. You then played. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah. Yeah. To be fair, your computer is basically dead at the moment. Yeah. ⁓ I've been following the news. ⁓ there's been massive lists, right, of like bug fixes or potential bug fixes and all of the patches. Which is great. And I'm loving the fact they're like doing potential bug fixing and stuff that. But I I've not really seen anything about the the same bugs that we've been experiencing for a very long time. But cargo elevators allegedly on social media are still pretty broken. depending on I've not seen anything on them. And that's that's it. ⁓ so I don't know. ⁓ when I can get back into the verse, I probably will try. But it's one of those situations where I don't want to try and get into the verse now and then very quickly get burnt out again and then just effectively retire. 'Cause that's what a lot of people seem to be doing at the moment. ⁓ So ⁓ I'm gonna I'm gonna chill, give it some time, maybe like I or something. ⁓ but I don't know. ⁓ and I'm going away second half this year, so ⁓ well we're already in the second half. The later second half of the second half. ⁓ so I'll have plenty of time to to wait then. But yeah. What you guys? ⁓ I've been enjoying it. I was running some cargo today. I'm just trying to get my Kovalex rep up and just running some cargo in the Raylan, which is just such a wonderful cargo ship to run cargo in at the moment. It's just put every it just works really well. The only gripe I have with it is the Atlas, as in you can't re I know it's got two tractor beams, but the Atlas makes everything so much less friction ⁓ based for me of cargo running. And I have to sort of cheese it onto the ship on the lift. So I I'm always at peril every time I get on and off 'cause there's an atlas sitting on the lift as I go up and down bugging out and it and it almost killed me one time and I was like, ⁓ but it's worth it 'cause it saves me a ridiculous amount of time in moving cargo. ⁓ so yeah, I've been enjoying it. I've had a really good experience the last few times I've played it. Haven't really come across any too many game breaking bugs. I will say I've been seeing I think is it zero state on Twitter talking about I think it was him talking about four point ten testing. 'Cause then you get docs on social media. Wasn't he the one that complained when you shouting him out? Was it him? I can't remember, mate. It might have been I can't remember. Either way. he was saying that in four point ten they procedure of Oracle is being tested heavily 'cause everyone wants to test that. But the rest of the game is not really being tested by people because they all just want to test a new thing. And he's saying that the the rest of the game in the PTU right now is completely broken. So that's the feedback that I've heard from testing is that non-siege stuff is horrific. Don't know how true or false that is, obviously. I haven't tested it myself. But ⁓ yeah, I'm a bit concerned. So I'm hoping that's not the case, because I feel like four the four point the four dot seven, eight, nine patches have been a bit rough. And I do kind of get the vibe that maybe we're going down this avenue of having some instability coming into the game again. I'm not saying that as if it's ever been truly stable, but getting worse. And I I really don't want to have steps going back towards like three eighteen levels of of bugs ⁓ or constant broken patches. So I'm hoping that four point ten will cook for a bit longer, but it's gone all wave, so we'll see. And we know it's basically a week from when it goes always is when it does release candidate and then sort of comes out is that sort of timeline. and I think that's just CIG being constrained by made up timelines. Yeah. ⁓ so and and they've had the issue issue for a few patches now, ⁓ where things have just broken. ⁓ and they've still pushed it because of I don't I say made up time constraints. But yeah, ⁓ Yeah, it'd actually be really interesting if they do release ⁓ four four ten and see your some works, because that'd be probably the first major patch this year that's well not this year, of four point ⁓ that's released with its like core gameplay feature working. ⁓ so I can kind of like get behind it. But as long as they do sort of like fix the rest of it. And not just forget about the cargo elevators and forget about everything else because that's not what's useful at that moment in time. Ironically, like I haven't spoken about the freight elevators for a while. But today, they were flawless. Everywhere I went, not a single problem. And everything went down and completed my mission in milliseconds. It was like, ⁓ my god, this is working as they as intended. It's beautiful. So I had a really good experience cargo running today. And usually cargo running is miserable until you get to the higher ranks and you can actually make some good money. But ⁓ Yeah, it's been pretty good. I'm I'm kind of grinding out so I can A get the ⁓ X what is it? What's the really good quantum drive? The XL one. Yeah, I think that's what you get blueprint for if you complete all of the Kovalex rep. So I'm trying to build I'm building up to that. And also I want the whole C missions because you can get like seven hundred K in like twenty minutes of gameplay and it's pretty sweet. And I'm trying to grind out money so I can buy some in game ships. So that's the r that's what I'm doing at the moment, basically. So when I do a stream with you next Pete, I'll be running cargo most likely. Baby, you have me a XL one blueprint. That is yeah. Well let I'm happy to grind that out, then I can just build them for everyone can. We can just go mining and I can just build them for everyone. So that's pretty sweet. So that's why I'm I'm grinding that at the moment. Yeah. That is pretty sweet. Wait, whole C whole C is manual loading only now. What? No. Carlito, you can you you cannot be t if Carlito, is that are you trolling or is that real? Is it Can I ban him? Even if it's true, can I ban him? Cause if it's true, I'm I'm going. That's that is that is heresy to be fair. It is? Right. It's been an absolute ride, guys. ⁓ thank you very much. But that is my time playing style, so it isn't done. Join us next year when we're playing Eve. Wait. He's actually left. Okay, you can go back. Elite Dangerous, by the that's what I'm gonna start playing now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ⁓ is it actually manual loading? Cause that is ⁓ god. Wow. Okay. It's because auto loading st is it still broken? It's been broken for three patches, Carlito. Are you surprised? No. But yes, because they keep saying we're fixing it. They keep saying the whole C's working. I've seen that message in patch notes for the last three patches. Whole C's working. It just says whole C's working. Thumbs up. Obviously not verbatim. Buddy Christ. It's gonna be a bit of a holly says citizens, you know. ⁓ wait for the bugs. I've got the whole D and I'm dreading it. dreading it that might be melted. I've just I've just noticed and I don't know if you guys ⁓ would know as well. I'm just cutting in here a little bit. ⁓ so I've just used my prime sub because I forgot prime subs are a thing. Does that get me the the cube thing? It does not no. ⁓ I have to gift Do I have to gift otherwise you have to gift or you have to sub like with financials yeah. Which ⁓ let's let's spend a minute talking about it's four hours. Who wants a gift? It was a gifted sub. me there we go someone gets a kid wait before you do this do you not have this lock cube already? Maybe I don't know. Anyway It actually went to me. What on earth is this? There's currently eighty nine people eighty seven now and you just got it. Is that money laundering? Because technically you've you've just paid you've paid me who you've basically just paid our set What's just happened there? Is that is that layering? Are we are we doing fraud? We've just paid ourselves to pay ourselves. ⁓ no. Well we we laundered money via Twitch and they're making half of it. So it didn't really make yeah. But yeah, they've still made two pounds fifty or whatever it is. That's crazy. The odds for that, there's eighty s there was eighty-nine people at the time in chat and you got it. That's crazy. ⁓ man. ⁓ but yeah, sorry. Carry on. Yeah, sorry. I was loading up Sankus for a second there. So four hours. For free to watch your favourite Twitch streamers, us. ⁓ talk about Star Citizen. Four hours though for an ATLS skin. It's just the skin, it's not the vehicle. Is that too long? Nah. I think the point is people are watching anyway. And people are and and the Atlas is such a useful thing in the game that if they do a skin for it, people are like, ⁓ actually I would like that. So I I kinda get it. Four hours is not that long. One the things that they've done it is quite clever is the ATLS is also the referral reward for referrals. That sucks. ⁓ the actual the actual ATLS itself. Yeah, the actual ATLS itself. And then you get the skin through watching the trick drops. The Banu Lock Cube is a bit of a contentious situation on two fronts. One side of things it was given out at Bar Citizens, you had to go to a bar citizen to get this. I get the frustration because people have either paid money or they've straight or they want to flex, whatever their reason is. They had that and now there's this. There was no reason why they couldn't release this with a different skin. That's one side of the argument. The other side is you've got to pay money to get it. My argument against that is it's actually good for the community because they are feeding back to the content creators who are going out of the way to make content and they could easily have offered this on the own ⁓ pledge store. They didn't do that, they farmed it out to the community. So like is pro positives and negatives on both sides of that. I wanna know what chat thinks though. Is four hours too long? Yeah. Oreos ain't a lot if you consider some campaigns, right? So Hunt Showdown, for example, ⁓ they have drops and you will unlock something like every hour, but they will do like eight drops worth. So you have to like stack up watching hours. so for literally just the skin, yes, it might be a lot, but if they did the Foundation Festival skin and then a foundation festival P four and then a Foundational Festival like Armour set and you basically had to watch for like twelve hours over the course of the week and it basically all stacked up in a crew, then I I think that's fair and all right. But just for four hours for an A T L S skin that you can only use if you either own an ATLS or you buy yourself an a another account. ⁓ I think yeah it's a bit It's a bit much. ⁓ but then again, four hours ain't hard. You literally just turn your computer on and watch someone stream and then go to work and come back and that's it. You've unlocked it. I know that's not the moral side of drops, but that's basically what everyone does. Right now we have ninety-four viewers in chat, and chat is relatively quiet, and that is because really so kind of you to send people over to us because it gets our numbers up as well and also continues their journey in towards the four hours of getting it. But people are doing this. They are literally just going Yeah, cool, it's running there and we just leave it to run. This point where people start that counting off it. I'm here just listening. But yeah, this th this does happen. S we we do it. I mean all the time other channels that are streaming and they've got drops on. Yeah, I will just literally have it in a different tab and just mute the tab. So yeah, welcome. I I think four hours is nothing. There's there's campaigns that have been a lot longer. There was one for a game, I can't remember what it was. It was maybe Battlefield. I can't remember now. But there was one and it was like watch for nine hours to get the stuff. I think s people in chat have said seven hours for Division Two, Citizen Pseudo said four hours ⁓ two hours for Grey Zone. The hours is the whole point. The whole point is keeping people on the platform. So I don't think four hours is bad at all for a for a skim. I think that's fine. The lockbox, I feel like I get that people that went to Bar Citizens are a bit gutted because it felt like an exclusive thing. But also it's not fair if people live in a different country and they give away this item at a bar citizen in this country or just it in at all. Like people just might not live near a bar citizen or might just not fancy going. ⁓ so I think it's okay to to give it away again for them to to do that. The paying for stuff is a bit ropey. Like I I really appreciate they're supporting content creators and saying, look, give back to our content creators and then you also get this cool item. I think it's a a nice thing for CIG to do. But I think content creators already get a bit of a bad rap from the general community. Not everyone likes content creators. A lot of people actively hate them. So then doing this I think just makes people more annoyed at content creators, even though it's nothing to do with them and not their fault at all. So yeah, I don't know how I feel about it really. I'm I'm kind of on the fence. I think it's nice But at the same time I think a lot of people will complain about it. So people complain anyway. True, you can't keep everyone happy, so whatever. But yeah. We can never keep CJ happy. Well whilst I'm involved in the Star Citizen universe. To keep CJ happy, I've I have as always got this queued up, so that's fine. that is forever queued up. Do you want though, for someone who despises the the project thus late He's always here and he does enjoy the game. He just this is just his character. As soon as as soon as the as soon as tier one or tier two item recovery's in and you can actually loot players again, you won't get CJ off the game. But CJ's whole thing is contested zones, PvP, and having fun that way and looting other players for stuff as since that's been gone. Is when I'm gonna be playing the game. I'm gonna take his gun and stick up your arm. That's when it gets ten out of ten. Hopefully it's a big gun. ⁓ but yeah, talking about guns. We've got the power armor coming soon, haven't we? And the lever action rifle, which I'm very excited for. I'm I'm I wanna live on Hurston with a piece of straw out of my mouth, a cowboy hat, and just telling people to get off my land with a lever action rifle. I hope they do a rocking chair as the subflayer. For your f for your hanger, just a rocking chair and a lever action rifle. Yeah. I'm ⁓ looking forward to that. The heavy armour does look pretty sweet. I saw a picture online of someone in the PTU. I think it was it might have even been morphologist. I can't remember who who posted the picture, but it was a picture of the armour and I don't think it was the paid armor 'cause that's not been released yet, the patch bundle, which absolutely will be a heavy armor ⁓ patch bundle. But I think it was the nine towers one and it looks so good. I'll try and let me try and get a link so you can pull it up on shrimp. I pull it up on stream, can't I? ⁓ give me two I'm pretty sure it's morph, let me see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, here we go. Right, let me pull this over to my other screen. How would you feel if they gave you the armor but didn't give you the weapon? In the patch bundle. Because it's two parts, isn't it? So the weapon and the backpack and then the armor itself. I don't think they should be doing either of them personally. I hate it. You know how I feel about patch bundles and pay to win stuff and just I hate selling gameplay, so I hope I but how sick does that look? That looks class. It looks so good. This is the Mendo Ren super heavy armor. How'd you tie your shoelaces in that though? You can't see it. Yeah. ⁓ man, it looks so good. I I really, really I really hope that is not the patch bundle. I want to earn that in game and feel like an absolute don for having to have grinded bunkers for ten hours to get it because then I don't want to see everyone wearing it. And if it's pa if it's the patch bundle, everyone will be wearing it, and then it just loses all uniqueness or specialty to me. So I just really, really want it to not be sold, but I just know it's CIG and they will sell it. But how dope does that look? ⁓ man, I love it. Have you seen the Nine Tales? Armor set. Have you got it? I've got an image of it. Where whether it is the actual one 'cause this is Reddit, you never know what to believe now on the internet, do you? So I haven't seen this before, but take over, take the screen. No, the nine towers ones are That's the same one, isn't it? No. Yeah, it's the s it's the similar design. It's the ⁓ like the ⁓ samurai. Yeah, ⁓ the helmet, yeah, look at that. Yeah, so this kinda lends into that you should be able to get this in game. Yes. Yeah, that is the nine towers, that is legit as well. ⁓ and then the light, medium, and heavy armor have slightly different variations. Yeah, that looks sick. ⁓ which look really, really good. Yeah. ⁓ and as ⁓ Carlita just said in chat, that's the lieutenant, that's the lieutenant's ⁓ I'm assuming. Nice There's so much stuff that's coming out for this game, is it is difficult to cover and be read up on every aspect. Yeah, unless you're unless you're a full time content creator, which we're not like so But yeah, if if if that if it's your job, then I'm assuming it's quite easy to keep up with 'cause it's all you do. But that's ⁓ yeah, that's not unfortunately we're not we're not quite there yet. But yeah, I mean I'm excited for it. I just I just know they're gonna sell really cool looking heavy armor and I just I don't like it. I knew this book was gonna come out again. I'm just sorry, I'm just reading and on this page Citizen Pseudo said ⁓ he's not a fan of the armor set. And that comes from the Heretics book. ⁓ Yeah, ⁓ Yeah, you've got your page. Brilliant. ⁓ yeah, so I've just I've put up a a quick poll. What you're excited for. And the options are Siege Worrison, power armor, leveraction rifle, or to play with my little Banu box. ⁓ we can only pick one of them. That is actually a hot that's a really hard instantly the vote from Banu Box. It's been a while, but welcome the knee back to the quantum dispatch podcast. ⁓ yeah, yeah. The knee is back out. And it's been about it's b that's been I think that's the s first time the knee's been out since we went to Riverside, since we since we started uploading to Spotify. I think that's the first time the knee's been out. Spotify. For Spotify. Spo for Spotify listeners. ⁓ if you want to see this knee, ⁓ only fans slash CJ Radley. ⁓ yeah, that's where you can get all your knee picks. Yeah. ⁓ now I'm I'm looking forward to this power armor. ⁓ because as someone said in chat. You can't heal with it. You walk very slowly. you can't sprint, you can't hold anything else, ⁓ and you can't reload it yourself. So it's gonna be very, very niche situation that it's used in. And I think it might actually be so niche where it's not gonna be useful. But the power if you're running with a squad, it might be quite useful. I think it's gonna be useful. Yeah, for like the 400 rounds. Until like the four hundred rounds is gone or whatever. ⁓ if you're on your own, yeah, probably not. But it's a team based i item for sure. But like ⁓ running like the the worms, like running the ASD worms with the what what were they called? The ⁓ like the irradiated worms that are come out of the the lake in ⁓ the ASD facility missions. The latest ones, the Umandi, I think they're called. Yeah. Like it would be good for those. 'Cause that's an area where you've got loads of cover to dart behind, so you don't have to be super fast, but you can just lay into them. yeah, I think if you had a couple of people of the heavy armor in there would be really good. Yeah, trying it with Valakar. I think just locking down like if you had the if you had two of two of your crewmates holding down like an Idris hanger when you're being boarded on these suits, I think would be pretty sweet. I know a situation where they would be useful as a team. and that is in the contested zones. And cast your mind to some of the contested zones, but primarily checkmate station, in the final room, you come up at the elevators, and there's basically a long corridor before you get to like the main loot room. Just imagine one of these guys, like at the end of this long corridor, and he's just spraying. And basically you can't like you can't really do anything against the dude. He's got so much armor. ⁓ he'll shoot you through around corners because of desync and all that sort of stuff. And if you've got someone in your squad set up with this with people behind him just changing his his magazines. ⁓ I think they'd be really useful. ⁓ I do think it should have like an overheating function though. Yeah. So you can't just spray it the whole time. So this is supposedly the paid for bundle. I want this one here. ⁓ that's fine. It looks rubbish, that's fine. Yeah, it does look a bit what? F as as as a paid for bundle, out of all the ones I've seen so far, this looks the least cool, and I'm happy about that. Okay. Because I don't want the the best stuff shouldn't be sold, should be earned in the game. Yeah. ⁓ Carlito did say it's not that hard to kill people in this armor. I kind of hope it gets harder. Because otherwise you're gonna have like an Atlas ICT situation where you just never see it because it's more hassle to use than the it's more hassle to use than the benefit it gives back because you can just get headshotted out of it kind of thing. ⁓ so you don't really see the Atlas IT used that much because it's just like it was quirky and fun, but you're just a bit of a sitting duck. Whereas I kind of hope the heavy arm is pretty resilient. but you just know you just know you're gonna get boom tubed. The Boom Tube was probably the worst thing they added to this game. As much as I love it, it's so powerful. It and yeah, it's just God. I know you move slow with it, but You know the ⁓ the armor set, the power armor set that you brought up. ⁓ they definitely need to use a version, ⁓ a skinned version of it. And I'm just gonna pull up an image from the Warhammer book. But needs to just be like that. Dirty, rusty. Yeah, Dust Devil version of it. Yeah, and if there's like a dirty version and it's got rust from the rivets and stuff like that. ⁓ a Pyro esque version, ⁓ then I'll be I'll be well down for it. I'll put them in your face. And you will enjoy it. And for anyone interested, this is purportedly The Asgard livery that it is coming bundled with. Don't they keep doing skins like pointless ships? No, the Asgard's a great ship. Yeah, it's a great ship. Get my ship's name out of your mouth. The Asgard is great. It is up there with one of my favourite ships, which is weird because I don't own one, but it's definitely one of my favourite. Yeah, I love it, but I don't know. Maybe we just love the idea of one. Nah man, it's great. Six size threes, a massive cargo bay, you can fit tonks in it, you can fit loads of stuff. It's good fun. You can do tonk drops and it never works, but it's great. It's cool. I I think it's a great ship. I don't like that skin though, I have to admit. I'm not a fan. Yeah, we'll see when it comes out. Yeah. Which is soon, right? I reckon it'll be this Friday. We should get four point ten. I don't know. It was like four point nine came out four point ten's in PTU. I was like, wow, this is a quick turnaround now. But I guess it's 'cause they delayed four point nine slightly, didn't they? So To be fair, it might be middle they might they might let it cook till the fifteenth, like middle of August. I think they did say it was like a mid August thing, so maybe they'll let it cook for another week or two. I hope so. They need to get everything fixed before they release it. But the first look at instancing, right, which is probably something we should t talk about. We know we're getting like ⁓ dungeon level of gameplay and star set it eventually with instanced areas where you queue up with a party or solo and you go and do dungeons that get progressively harder and there's good loot drops at the end and it can be blueprints or maybe an armor set or whatever. I like that. I love that. It's an MMO. I I think that should be in the game. And I I think it's good fun to be there. And Siege is kind of the first look at what that is going to be, albeit it wasn't intended to be Siege. I think it's a good test for it. Because it was supposed to be like sewers under Area 18. We haven't really got that yet. But I'm I personally don't mind instanced things in the game. I don't want to see loads of stuff locked behind instanced dungeons. I think it should be really specific, like lore or mission based things that you don't want to enable PvP in because it's like a mission or b law ⁓ building ⁓ exercise. How do you feel CJ, I know you're you're like you love contested zones, you love PvP. How do you feel about some things having instance missions, or do you think everything should be open to players to intervene and kill you? There's some things I would agree, right? So ⁓ tutorials ⁓ so if like you're on a s on a city and you're doing a tutorial, and we spoke about this last week about we should have more stuff to do with not flying ships, and you should have instanced bunkers or instance things within the tutorial sort of realm, like in the city, so you don't have to jump in a ship and do it. And you can go and do that and you can handhold someone who isn't like a shoot FPS gamer, someone who's slow with a controller or someone who is like And I'm gonna brand myself in this, older now, I can't keep up with the kids on like Call of Duty. Like they're too they're just too quick. I give up. ⁓ and I can I I can kind of get that and understand it. Should it be that stuff, yes, should be wholly instanced. But like Siege Vorison, should it be wholly instance? I don't think so. The fact that if you're on the same shuttle as someone and you're not in their party, you cannot leave that shuttle when it comes around to their instance. Like there's a barrier. imaginary barrier and only people that are in in that party can can traverse that barrier. I don't think that should be a thing. ⁓ you can't get to the Siege of Orison platforms manually. You can, but it's hard enough to do. ⁓ but the only way you'd get there is on the ships, right? what do you do when you're attacking the Valakar? The the big Valakar? Yeah that's a PvP area, right? It's quite a contested PvP area. Mm-hmm And what do you do when it's that's the PvP area? How much PvP happens? Not that much. And if it does, is on the shuttles when they come into that final s that final site. So in your team, all you need to do is have someone watch the shuttle. But that's not that hard. Yeah. Yeah, but but it's not that hard to do. Like and you can ambush someone coming off a shuttle. You you you are in the stronger position. So if you lose that defensive battle, that's just part of the game. It has been designed that way though. Like the only reason they it's the shuttle is because the shuttle is the only way to get there. Like you physically cannot get there anyway because your ship falls out of the sky with the EMP storms. And then it just takes one person, two people to hold the bottleneck of the shuttle. Although you can cheese it, as we saw when we went, and people jumped off a bit early and they landed and then they were infiltrating from afar. I don't mind that, but with Siege, as soon as you find the platform, there's nothing stopping you taking a bomber out there or like I saw a video of someone on TikTok using a retaliator dropping sixty four size threes and size eight bombs and they were carpet bombing of ⁓ Hathor and that was awesome to see but it shouldn't be everywhere maybe but yeah I think fix siege of Orison you just add add a no fly zone. Like ⁓ yeah Crusader Industries have have enforced a no fly zone around these around these areas. And then you fly near it, you get automatically repositioned. Like you do when you accidentally quantum travel and it takes you through a random route and it repositions you for some reason. Like there's so many things to get around it. but like the one that Carlita said Gank set the spawn in the area. ⁓ you shouldn't be able to set your spawn in that in that final boss area. But I would that that was terrible. When I found out about that, that was terrible. However, all you need to do is have someone stag on the two positions, right, for beds. And I know like once you do that you've you've got great number of people. ⁓ but it's one of those things where that shouldn't happen. Maybe yes, you can you can repair yourself and fix yourself. But I'm anti completely across the entirety of the game, respawning in medbeds anyway. ⁓ even maybe capital ships I can kind of understand. ⁓ but yeah, I I'm against. Even still Urs at Medivax being able to respawn in them and all that sort of stuff. It should either be a city or capital ship. Out of push. ⁓ But yeah, ⁓ so that 'cause C O G will just create like a spawning ship. You have to have like it's got like just imagine like back to tanks and like sank out of the matrix. What, like a dedicated like hospital? No, like a dedicated spawning vehicle. Yep. There should be dedicated ships for that that you have to take in fleet compositions for it to be effective. ⁓ not every ship that has a medbed has respawn capability. I agree with that. I don't think every ship should have it. I don't think the medical ursa should be taken away though, because I think that's the solo player's access and the range is so small. It's five kilometres, right? So it's literally for bunker runs and bunker runs only. But what I They have finally limited the med jail as well, which is what we were saying from day one about respawning on med beds. There needs to be a limit. So they are working on it and they are improving it. and I to go back to the Siege of Orion, I think what you've got to bear in mind is the original plan for instance dungeons were in sewers where you only accessed it through a lift. So you queue up, you go to your you party up and then you go into a lift and you go down and then that's on your instance thing. So the bottleneck would be there to the point where you wouldn't you it'd be the same as the shuttles where you have one place to enter. So any PvP would just be watch the door and kill anyone that comes through. And then what kind of gameplay is that for the other people either side of it. So I think Siege is just a test. I don't think it was ever intended to be instanced, but I think it's it's a mission they have where they can do it. And they're thinking, let's give it a go. Because Siege never really worked that well. It was always kind of problematic in some performance way. And I think their answer to that was let's instance it and see what they can do. I think it's a good test. I would like to see it go back to not being instance, but obviously it's never gonna do that now because they're not gonna put all this work in to build it as an instance and then back backpedal. But if it's the only thing that gets instanced until we get the proper instance dungeons, I don't mind it so much. I wouldn't mind if there was like a siege mission, right? And it was part of like a tutorial system. And you could ⁓ accept the mission and it says go to the the view in platform and show where you take the shuttle from. ⁓ and then you can jump on on the the the ship ⁓ to the s the siege ⁓ place. But then there should be the availability for siege just to be run consecutively, like permanently. And the shuttles just go in every sort of like five minutes or something like that. And you can just jump on it and it is and it should be a PvP area. One of my f sort of favorite times when trialing like running an event on Siege of Orison as an org, we were sweeping corners. We were having points and we were we were pie in doors and make like doing everything tactically. And in a video game, tactic tactically isn't isn't that's more roleplay. ⁓ to be honest, it's it's not useful when you can just sprint and use the net code and just ping around corners faster and murder anyone anyway. ⁓ but we did that and that was designed basically against players because you aren't gonna pie corners when there's AI because AI are just so slow. You can just swing the corner and shoot them. Like they ain't gonna do anything. And I just genuinely think if you start removing the players from content, you're gonna start getting rid of the what's the word of the the gameplay, the the emergent gameplay. Yeah. And you're getting rid of that now. If things are if if things are just purely instanced Where's the other than the AI spawning in fixed locations, where's the where's the emerging gameplay? It needs to make sense, doesn't it? Yeah. More than anything. It has to make sense. If it's in a public area like with Devalakar, that can't be instanced. It shouldn't be instanced. One of the best games that has actually managed PvE with PvP at the same time. I don't know if you ever played it. ⁓ but it's one of the I think it was one of the sniper elite games. And you could get invading Jaegers. And basically it was effectively imagine someone so imagine they're doing the the missions in the the sewers, right? The maintenance tunnels missions that they're planning on doing, the instance ones. But if you as a player, you can queue up on an elevator door somewhere and you can just stand there and then like I don't know, hold access for like ten ten seconds. And then if you were the only one to do it. Elevator would open, it'd allow you to go in as an individual, and you could effectively be an invading Jaeger into this PVE ⁓ gameplay area, and the alerts would pop up on everyone else's screen. One person has like in infiltrated your your instance, and then maybe you're at a disadvantage, right? Maybe you get a ping, a delayed ping every 15 seconds or something, it pings on the enemy map where you are. ⁓ but I think that. features for much better, much more interesting content than the same go through an elevator, kill the AI that's spawned from the same spawn closets every time. Go through the next elevator, kill the AI that spawned from the same spawn closets. With maybe an added boss or something. at what point do you just release the whole game as PvE? Like I don't think you need to have you need to have dedicated P VE things that are just for players that don't want to touch PvP, you need to have it. Because ultimately, if you love PvP but you don't like doing the instant stuff, then just don't do it. Because if there's stuff that you earn at the end of it, the players that don't like doing PvP but want to do that will just sell it on the trading market as and when the player trading market is properly done until obviously we use UEX until then. But if there's that opportunity, then that's what makes an MMO great is I don't wanna do X gameplay, but there is something that X gameplay awards you for doing. I just want to do what I wanna do and still get that item. Well then you just trade it with another player because the other player will do it and they might that's might that might be their favourite thing to do and all they do is run those ⁓ dungeons and they get a thousand of these rare helmets that they they that they get from a boss drop or something. It's a rare loot drop, whatever. If they then want to go on the grey market or they want to go to the player trading terminals or whatever it's going to be and sell that to people that don't want to do it but do want the helmet, that's a nice round circle for the economy because then they get money, they play the game how they want to play it, everyone wins. Literally no one loses in that instance, as long as they still do PvP stuff as well, which they will. Contested zones is solely PvP, right? So they've already catered a lot for PvP players and going to Pyro and even Knicks is very PvP esque, and Stanton can be. ⁓ I think there needs to be dedicated PvE stuff for people that just don't want to do it. You can't alienate one group or the other. But it's a nice balance because yeah, there's gonna be stuff that you get in Hathor, like Caronite, that PvE players don't want to do. So they will just buy it with script or AUEC from ⁓ players that do do that stuff. ⁓ and it just works. It's just it's you know, it's capitalism, it works. So I think just let I think let him crack on. I'd like I want to see instant stuff personally. I like the idea of doing it every now and then. There's a lot to be said for the journey as well, the actual earning of stuff. And so if you take this into consideration for like contested zones, you feel like you're on edge. You could have everything you've worked for taken away at any moment by a team that's following from behind you or a team that's ahead of you. Or a rat that's hiding. Or a rat, unfortunately. ⁓ we came across one in Orbitry. literally to access any of it you have to go through a red door. We opened the red door and they were just waiting on the other side, just camping the door. I was like, that is ridiculous. But that's what we're talking about, right? Is like protecting that area, protecting that thing. And it's an actual gameplay style. ⁓ maybe they had the rest of their org was in further and they were like, well, they identified that as the the choke point. It's a real tactic, so you can't be angry at it. ⁓ but the The prize is you get through to the other end, you've gone through all the struggles, you've got there. There's always the game of attrition where you're gonna take injuries, you're gonna lose members in game and in real life. You're ⁓ it's bedtime now, or I've got to go do cook dinner or whatever. So you're always gonna be losing players. Time you get to the end and you've got the prize and it's in, you're sweating buckets realistically. Like you're like, ⁓ I need to be like quick about this, I need to be methodical and checking corners, doing everything properly. In order to get what you want. If you are in just a pure PVE environment, you don't have that. But at least not as exciting Ma not maybe everyone wants that, but then do a different game loop. Go and do cargo. Like or But you can't lock it you can't lock FPS behind PvP. But what if I want that? But you're getting that in contested zones. You already have Yeah, I'm getting that. You're saying people don't want that. I'm saying the people that don't want that should have should have the option to still do FPS but just not contested zone FPS. But there was just farm. They would go, okay, cool, we both get the same thing at the end. But you don't get the same thing. You get different things. The contestants don't end and you in a PYAM ship or cards or whatever that you can install. But like if you're in it for components like I am, then you're you're waiting for these N D B's to respawn but the whole time you're like checking everything, making sure people aren't coming in. It's an exhilarating thing. I love it. If you have pure PVE say spawns called and it's not as exciting. But but that doesn't matter. That gameplay's not for you. But and it's not going to be the same spawn. There won't be N D Bs in the PvE things. They will get their N D Bs by buying it from PvP players through an economy. But then the PvP player who doesn't want to go and do mining for twenty twenty hours, but wants level nine hundred materials to craft with, will go to the PvE player and go, Hey, you do all the mining, I wanna buy from you. And it's a nice economy and you can trade, and that's the whole point of an MMO. You've got The game remember, though, at the same point, that the contested zones aren't designed to be PvP. It's a deterrent for that. Because there's the blue key cards, they only respawn every half an hour. We know that there's door glitching, we know that people do it. It happens. But once you've got the blue key card and you've gone through that blue door. You have feasibly got half an hour before the next team roll through. You could have longer, but you shouldn't have less. So it's designed to get a team through those particular gates, get to the end, sort themselves out and get out. If they want to be greedy and stay like we have many times, then they need to run security. They need to be thoughtful of what they're doing. And yeah, but you've got that threat coming up behind you, but you have half an hour before that threat. Is supposed to be up on you without door glitching. Or or if someone's stocked up on loads of blue key cards another time and they've just got loads to use. It's also true, but this is like you get in niche positions now. Yeah, but I get what you're saying, but you like that gameplay. I love that gameplay. I'm on the same page. I love the the threat of the PvP coming. It's exhilarating. But not everyone does. So those people also need some people like FPS, but they don't want to do PvP. They should have Things like bunkers, which is PvE related, really. They there should still be PvE versions of those missions that they can do, which have a different reward, different rewards don't have to be anywhere near as good. Like Division 2, or any division. Division is a PvE game. But then you go to the dark zone and it's PvP, but that's where the really good stuff is. Same kind of thing. The contested zones will still have the better stuff. But if you don't want to do that, there should still be PvE stuff for you to do that you can safely do and enjoy. Doesn't offer the same rewards, but different rewards. Stuff that might be more you know, blueprints for mining, for mining components. That should probably go in the PvE area. Why should a PvP player get that? 'Cause they're not gonna go mining anyway. It like, you know, maybe that's a bad example, but Yeah, well yeah. But yeah, that's I think ⁓ you need to make sure that everyone has something to do that's r that's fun. And just 'cause you don't you love the PvP doesn't mean everyone does. And those people should also have social. I didn't say I love PvP. Like is I usually get dunked on. So to the contrary, but what I enjoy is that feeling at the end where we've done it. Like CJ and I we were doing executive hangers, just the two of us. ⁓ it's exhilarating. One person is doing security, which is not really a a good position. You wanna have at least four or five. but yeah, once we got those ships we enjoyed it. And when you kill someone that's got all of the keycards on them and you go, Yeah, I'll have these, it's exciting. Of course it is. Not for them. But not for the for for y for you, it's amazing. I mean, I got killed in my hangar once and then had everything taken from me whilst there was the glitch. So they never knew that they took all my cards. But that was me. I was done I was done for today. I like, Yeah, I'm I'm gone. I'll see you tomorrow. Yeah. You log off. But that's what they want to avoid. But the point is like you can't you can't lock certain you you can lock certain gameplay behind certain loops, of course, but you can't just say, ⁓ you don't like PvP, sucks to be you. Your only option is mining. It's just you can't do that. Like then your game will die. Because ironically, I think Star Citizens probably played ⁓ the majority the most people that play Star Citizen are probably over the age of like forty at this point. Because of how long it's been in development. And there's gonna be lots of people that come home from work and just wanna do P V E stuff and not get involved in PvP. And vice versa. There's gonna be people that wanna do PvP and love PvP. ⁓ yeah, I just think it's ⁓ You you need to cater for people to do how they want to play, but just offer different rewards. So there's an economy there of trading of it's worth doing that for them, worth doing that for them, different things. ⁓ much to your argument, I hate cargo. Frickin' hate cargo. But you've said that there's XL one at the end of that. So guess what I'm gonna be doing from tonight? It's yeah, I mean I I understand that there so there should be different loot available. ⁓ and as with any other sort of RPG game, the Min Max best stuff is all basically locked behind ⁓ PvP and it kind of like should. But there are a lot of things like as long as it's not like everything just becomes instance from from now on. ⁓ like the rock breaker stuff, I believe there's an instance rock breaker mission. ⁓ Which like having our mission that is instance is fine as long as you can still access the the n the normal way of of doing it. ⁓ there's P VE rockbreaker. Yeah, it's one of those where it yeah, yeah, it's publicized ⁓ not publicized. so yeah, I can I can I can get that sort of stuff. You don't A S D in it, there's so many of them. Yeah, exactly. Like the chances of stumbling across anybody is at least like near enough impossible. but it's one of those where as long as they release the same feature, the same the same content, if they release these maintenance ⁓ tunnels, for example, and then you can go and do an instance one and you get gear with eighty percent stat rolls. But then if you went and ran the contested zones variant of it and you got 100% stat rolls off of the stuff, then that's fine. Like that's absolutely fine. I don't really care because I mean I'm never gonna run the instant side of it. ⁓ but if you start giving like the top tier loot to instance based stuff, people are just gonna farm it over and over and over again. And then the thrill of finding something in the contested zones, for example, is is now null and void. Because what's the point? When you can just go and run the same mission probably quicker with less people in an instance mission and get the same gear. So as long as there is a defining definition between the gear you get and also the level that you get it at. Hundred hundred percent. And there always will be. Back to division, right? PV you can still get a lot of the guns in division in the P V E area. But if you want the high tier of that the gun, the the best the epic version, it's in the PvP only. That's what that's pretty much MMO one ⁓ one. That's how it will work. Pretty sure that's how June June did it. Pretty sure how every every MMO pretty much works is higher risk, high reward, but you still want to reward people that want to do low risk because you can't you can't just not give anyone ⁓ a reward of any type because you your game will die. You will not have enough players for the game to live if you only cater for people that are taking risks all the time. So it's a balance and it's a line they've got to walk, but I totally agree. They'll they'll have high tier stuff in PvP, lower tier stuff and different stuff in PvE. And I think that's exactly how it should be. There is only one other thing, isn't it? Like I'm not a World of Warcraft player, but the Leroy Jenkins moment, that came at the end of some insane long mission loop. But it's like the good stuff was right at the end, yeah. So instead of trading effort, do you trade time for the PvE player? Yeah. If you're gonna run dungeons like like ⁓ Destiny and you're gonna run like some of those raids in Destiny were like days long or whatever. If you're gonna have people that are gonna dedicate fifty hours of their life in groups over an entire weekend to do this rare raid that takes ages to complete Yeah, they should absolutely get a good reward. Why wouldn't they? Just because there's no PvP in it. But working together should be just as fun as working against each other. PvP should be just as fun as working as working with fifty other players to complete a really difficult mission. And it should be just as rewarding, but just in different ways. That's the joy of MMOs. Like it's just that yeah. Like think about when like Xenothreater stuff comes out or when we had those big events And a massive ship turns up and it's like kill the Idris and everyone in the server's working together against a common cause. That is really fun. And it's almost just as fun as having a a a fleet battle. It's diff different strokes of different folks. Yeah. I I as long as like like I said, as long as everything just from now on just doesn't become instant and it turns into a PvE game. ⁓ basically the route that Tarkov went, ⁓ then it would it would stay relevant in my eyes and stay stay useful. Like I will get back to playing it at some point. But then if everything is focused around being PvE, then it's not my kind of game, not gonna lie. But then again that's gonna be loads of PvP. Yeah, but it is all personal preference. ⁓ I will just go find a different game. ⁓ so yeah. But ⁓ Was that through my mic, that door slammer? No, it was mine. Okay. Dog the dog was in here and I told her that the dog was in here, but she shut the door a bit hard. It might be because I've been live for like three hours now. Makes sense. This is why I didn't go live earlier. Yeah, but I've been streaming all week doing like, you know, foundation festival stuff. ⁓ granted I didn't like talk to her before I started all of this stuff. I just told her it was happening. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think that is not a bad time to wrap up anyway. ⁓ let's keep going. I'm gonna be in trouble when I get off here. Should we ⁓ you can plug the ⁓ the giveaways again? Yeah, let's talk about giveaways and in the meantime, Pete, would you like to find someone else to raid?
