Star Citizen - Pyro Gameplay & First Impressions (Incredible!)

I can't believe this, we're actually going to get our first look at pyro. With the preview channel being now live for some, we can dive into the pyro playground. Warning tho, this is very early so expect bugs and unfinished elements. Hyped for Star Citizen and pyro tho!

Can we just appreciate how SMOOTH and POLISHED this is, for being the alpha, of the alpha (PTU), of the alpha (Live)?

[Brixhamite]

I never realised how luxurious Grim Hex was until today :)

[kickermen]

Can we give huge props to the team responsible of designing those intiriors .... they look freaking good plus the lightning

[bryanwu]

Insane how Pyro makes G-Hex seem tame in comparison

I think they really should build some "automated landing safety system" that slows down all movements of huge ships when they get closer to ground or some obstacle. Huge ships that moves too fast in roll and yaw etc. near the ground just breaks the immersion a little bit. If we ever built such ships, there would be tons of safety systems in place, to make sure not to dip a wing down into the gravel or something like that. I understand that in space, or when in flight, yaw and roll controls needs to be fast responding to make flying agile, but close to the ground you would assume that a spaceship would slowly slowly descend and move. Also it would be cool if they kicked up tons of dust so you barely could see them, unless on a landing pad!

This guy is the number one streamer for SC for sure! Love Ollie has me crying out Chris! all the time now as I fall out of a Carrack in Quantum

[AshenShugar]

Your videos are always entertaining, Ollie. Keep up the great work and get well. I hope it's not too serious. Blessings to you.

Excuse me for stupid question... Eanglish isn't my native, and I have issue with some sentances and words. Especially with word "thumbnail" wich Olli uses everytime. 'Cuse I know this word in anatomy meaning - nail on thumb(big finger). Then I searched another meanings like "small", "brief" etc. But it's also have no sense. Please help me... :( And sorry for my bad language.

If a planet does not rotate it should have the side facing the star burning hot, fires and molten ground, and the other side should be completely frozen. The only livable zone is the thin land between the two sides, permanently in sunset-sunrise. Hope they add some planets like this

2:11:00 This terrain is unbelievable, for those of us who has done some work with terrain / geology in games.
The erosion and fluvial valleys are amazing.. Nothing like we see in Stanton.
They've really pushed their tech and art process.

gotta say i did not expect to see this for a long time so its nice to see the game finally finally starting to shape up; maybe lol still has a way to go but a big step in the right direction. thanks for this video too had a blah evening kinda and stuff like this reminds me of how much i need to stay focused and have hope for the future lol

[reamoinmcdonachadh]

Sorry to hear you are ill. Please do what you need to do to get well. Am rooting for you, and I hope you get well quickly. Be safe, and get well soon!!

There are all kinds of nooks and crannies in the stations. I even found a half level like the 'secret' passage in the MSR

[Splincir]

That really tall building was definitely some kind of drilling/mining structure. When he is looking back at it as he was leaving you can see the drilling shaft and off the right there is like a battery of additional shafts stored there. A large armature from above would grab those and swing them over the drill as each shaft is drilled down, and you would attach the new shaft atop the old. Its just like we do it today... except on a mega scale. It's cool to see a derelict one... but man would it be cool to see them animate one of those to be usable by large or cap ships one day.

I knew that pyro was coming soon as soon as the jump points were put in. i didn't expect it that soon, but i knew it'd be before the end of the year. I even stated in game chat that i thought they'd drop it with it being on it's own server without the ability to travel between the systems just for testing.

[GUNNERakaKelt]

@2:04:00 That looks like the kind of tower they had the BMM docked up to in the citcon talking ship.

Flares in Pyro safety tips: In space you're ok, IF you're in your ship. You ship will get EMP'ed though. Good to be in shelter, in a ship or building. Warning! If you're in a building, DO NOT watch the flare out of a window, windows do not protect you. Don't know about ships windows, but I think they're safe. Oh, and if you're flying in atmosphere and don't have a lot of altitude, well, that would be a really bad time to be EMP'ed by the sun. Land quickly and wait it out, or head back into space.
That's all I know so far. I might mention that it was quite stable. Player for several hours. My GTX1080 didn't like when it first loaded in nor when there were a couple of destroyed ships in an outpost. Had some freezing here and there. Might have been new shaders configuring. If I was out away from outpost I had a decent framerate. Running i6700k (not oc'd), 32gb ram and an SSD.

Just got back after an afternoon swim and cold shower, sitting eating my lunch and watching this, which as been awesome. But doubt my boss feels the same, while i work from home today.
Guess I'm working late tonight, but it was worth it, Pyro looks awesome !
Its gonna be the place to stay away from, as it will lag badly when live, as everyone will be in there.

[mr.tested]

Stay brave olli ! Get better soon pls, you are such a positive Guy in your videos, this is really great, you do great stuff !

[martinbrandt]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Olli. Love the vids!

[marksfarmcraft]

I'm pretty impressed so far. I'm thinking we will get a nice surprise soon.
