I just put some money for @tbaldree at the Epic Game Store for the amazing work he does.

I hope to be able to buy it again on Steam. Hopefully with a discount! =)

“Something Measurable”? Still better than “clicks”. ;)

1825

@tbaldree Where does one sell ILLEGAL goods? Asking for a friend…

1826

Please reply under a spoiler tag, Travis or Brian. Finding out where to sell illegal goods was a pretty cool revelation in Privateer.

1827

Is that the official answer? ;-)

1828

All pirate stations will buy all illegal goods - if you’re not pirate, there’s a little more to it. Independent stations are a little sketchy - most will buy one or two illegal goods, although you’ll have to visit to find out which ones - you’ll see them listed as something you can sell there and they won’t be flagged as ‘ILLEGAL’. But there are also Independent stations that run black markets - you can see that on their economic description from the sector map (or when you visit them) - they’ll usually mention Black Market or Arms Dealers or sometimes the keyword Illicit. These are flagged as black markets and will buy anything. Granite in Rockfarming is an example

1829

Stellar… Miles? Stellar Meters? Basically it’s ‘Space Units!’

1830

Good point! I’ll refrain from asking any further questions that may include spoilers…even on behalf of “friends”

1831

Is there going to be a day 0 patch for anything?

1832

Yes, targets will frequently drop “sealed crates”, containing cosmetic items that can only be unlocked via golden keys. Golden keys are absolutely obtainable by playing the game, but you can also purchase them for 140 diamonds for 1 key, 400 diamonds for 3 keys, or (best value!) 2799 diamonds for 21 keys. Diamonds can be obtained from special rare missions in the game, and you can also purchase them for your local currency if you so desire and similarly you get a great discount for buying over 20,000 diamonds at a time! But you don’t need to, that’s totally a choice we place in the player’s hands.

I’ve patched like 4 times since we started streaming. Another one coming in an hour or two.
It’s effectively prerelease right now so we’re still twiddling little things and fixing unexpected bugs.
But it should be a minor day 0 patch if it happens to be on day 0.

1834

I’d be more than happy to help suss out some of them bugs for ya 😁

1835

Travis. I wanted to let you know, that us bugging you about getting to play early is because we’re trying to hype you up. It’s awesome you’re here and we’re in love with everything we’ve seen and heard of the game. So it’s friendly ribbing and hope it’s not annoying.

That being said LOL… I would totally be cool if you told Epic to release my game as a preview :P I have 3 more weeks of post-op limited diet and can’t work so I’m a bit cwazy bored. Planetfall tomrrow will help, but I need something actiony too - pew pew pew!!!

This and Planetfall better zoom off the sales charts. Two of my favorite developers doing everything right. You deserve it.

1836

My god, I feel for @tbaldree come launch day if he’s still frenetically crunching until then. The bombardment of support requests and (stupid?) questions will only increase then. I hope he gets to take that much-needed and much-deserved break soon.

1837

@tbaldree I wanted to say my favorite feature has to be being able to pull out the action to a paused, isometric view of the 3D map/sphere to get a sense for what ships are where, in relation to me and each other, and who is targeting who. That feature isn’t getting enough exposure from my point of view, and it’s freaking amazing.

1838

Oh I doubt there’ll be time to catch his breath for a solid 3 months.

But that’s a luxury problem, as it assumes lots of people buy the game.

1839

That does sound like an awesome feature. I didn’t think it was possible I could want this game more, but now I do.

1840

Yeah, it’s amazing. Here is a pic:

You can even (from this screen) get details on various actors like bounty and faction affiliation. It’s something I never knew I wanted in games like this until I saw him use it the first time.

1841

Oh I love the tactical map. I use it ALLLLL the time.

For those of y’all messing with it now, .78 is up
A post to the website whenever we can get it sorted out I think-

Version .78 Patch Notes

  • Fixed crash in certain circumstances when breaking out of sublight due to atmospheric burn
  • Fixed potential crash with certain stencil textures at certain zoom levels when painting near the edge in paint tool
  • Made a few instanced entity destructions that weren’t threadsafe…threadsafe
  • PS4 button art revised, and missing art added
  • PS4 button art on PC properly shows Share button instead of Pad
  • Fixed ESC not saving when using it to exit paint tool
  • Radar and Jumpdrives cannot be destroyed, only damaged - too annoying (and w/ jumpdrives potentially catastrophic in unpopulated systems)
  • Some new stripe stencils added to paint shop
  • Some lighting tweaks for various scenes and some minor character art tweaks
  • Disable Transitions setting won’t be unavailable immediately after performing gamepad mapping
  • A few minor spelling fixes
