Truly a wonderful cinematic look to the shield responses from impact.

[Prich]

None can question the brave madness of that Pisces pilot, just his effectiveness.

[SimpHarderPlz]

This looks like a brand new game with the shield technology

[spaced-cadet]

The three components of game feedback (i.e. relaying to the player what’s happening)
1.) Visual feedback (fx, lighting, animation)
2.) Audio feedback (sounds, audio cues)
3.) UI feedback (HUD)

When it comes to the shields having visual changes and impacts, it’s really nice to see all parts providing the tells to the players.

wow the shields segment was very informative. Thank you for this good episode!

How to destroy a capital ship easily :

Step1 : max speed herald
Step 2 : warning, collision alert

[tebasak]

It is a CRIME that these are ONLY 1080p!

[KiraHellhammer]

That 5 minute mark shot !!! So many Javelins and Idrises

[KenFromchicago]

Shields / force fields that change color as they get weaker! Genius! 40 years of watching space opera and that never occurred to me. It's so elegantly simple.👍

[AmentiVZ]

It's amazing how far the performance has come since that first capital ship combat demo a few years back.

[AlphaCitizen]

I really like the idea of the shields turning red as they become weak from hits. Visual cues FTW

[JB_Hobbies]

Says: "create strategy to take [capital ships] down as well."

Shows (0:37): Pisces hurling some strong words at an Idris 🤣

Me: Oh, what is Richards bike!?

I only found out about this game from watching clip of elite dangerous to see if I would get it or not. The YouTuber mentioned Star Citizen so I checked it out and I’ve been playing for 4 days straight as soon as I bought it. Consuming all my time after work. I absolutely love this game. How is this game not more well known! Unless it is and I just don’t know about it. All the people calling this a scam is unbelievable. Good work to all the Devs.

[jbirdmax]

So far in testing it’s been amazing. Also amazing watching the iteration process working up close and personal.

[relint]

That Eclipse shot with the torp hitting the belly of the Javelin, be still my heart...

[kantt]

I REALLY want to live the intro of The Revenge Of The Sith. And I'm looking forward for the Perseus, to play with friends and stick near an Idris and shooting him closely

[tonygunk]

Xenothreat has been a convincing addition to the confidence I have lacked about the sim ever being a “playable” sim.. very impressed with what you guys are doing! Best I’ve seen in 5 years

[spartarex]

The shield tech looks absolutely amazing.

Remember when we have just hangar to walk in
