Awesome show everyone. Thanks to Rob and John for their participation.
CQ1) I love it and no let the human slime suffer.
CQ2) Alpha means you get to see a non morning person before their first cup of coffee, everything out of place, ugly, and messed up.

Hey guys!
After talking with Chivalrybean the other night in STO I gave the new show a listen. While I doubt I’ll be playing Star Citizen I just wanted to say congratulations, the show was awesome and provides the quality STO gamers have come to expect from Priority One Productions to the Star Citizen community. Plus it was great hearing Tony again.
In my opinion Alpha is when you switch it on and pray it doesn’t try to divide my zero and implode the universe. I just have one complaint though. This awesome show made me sad. I said I doubt I’ll be playing Star Citizen, but now I want to. Unfortunately games in first person view give me motion sickness.

Hey RogueJawa, glad to have you aboard!
Don’t be sad! Star Citizen can also be played 3rd person somewhat. So far the Hangar Module and the upcoming Dogfighting module both allow it, so signs look good for implementation in the end game!

Awesome show as always love the interviews with the Devs. I could listen to Lennon Beat box (Euro Style) all day. He should get the the: “Human Club Sound System” Accolade (Insert the Ta-Da sound clip here) lol

First time listening to your podcast. I have to say the quality and format are top notch. Its now in my podcast app to get every new episode.
Re: Retaliator & missile mechanics. I do have a Retaliator on order. On of the first tests I want to do when it makes it into my hands is (if possible) a ripple fire of FF missiles. There are a few times that this could save an entire fleet. Even if FF missiles are trivial to jam if there are a lot of them (say 4 pre hard-point = 48 in flight) the window for your group to escape while the enemy group is running around trying not to catch a half dozen missiles in the tail. This becomes a tricky mechanic to balance.
