Elite: Dangerous
Elite Dangerous is fine-tuning Powerplay 2.0 like a … finely-tuned… uh, piano or …. maybe a machine of some kind … Yeah! A finely-tuned machine – that suddenly produces 20 times more power for some reason. That’s right, FDev has heard the protests of the masses and has just said: OK, just get it over with. So now that the system has more or less settled on its final form, we will let Tony bang on it a little more to see what else falls out.
Star Citizen
Star Citizen released Early Access Pre-Alpha Release Candidate Prototype Experimental Test Build 3.24.3 9423704 to the LIVE Server. IAE is here, with a new task list filled with rewards for players who do them… or already did them, or at least three of them. And it looks like they might not even get wiped! Oh, by the way, another wipe is coming with the release of 4.0, and it looks like they REALLY are trying to get out by the end of the year. It’s a race between the calendar and the database optimizers. Who will win? And we got another massive dose of Star Citizen theorycrafting from the people designing the game. But don’t worry, this has been the plan ALL ALONG.
