This commentary was verry good! Not to short just, straight to the point with some additional extra info for those that dont know everything! I like this guys🙌🏻

[giselavaleazar]

This commentary is an improvement over last time. More compact interesting information/trivia about what's seen and not just reading the description. I like it.

[prof.dr.frohsinn]

Really appreciate the Das commentary.
Optional commentary sounds like a great idea.

[NickyDrvx]

This is the perfect balance 50% commentary, 50% ambient

[livenzerett]

I'm honest with you. I didn't watch the non commentary vids a lot but I enjoy what I saw here. I really like the way das does (no pun intended) this commentary.

[daleantila]

I like the new format. Das has too much talent to just read the screen notes. Keep it up, I LIKE!

[kentslocum]

I haven't checked in on Starbase in quite some time, so I was shocked to discover in this video that there is a second tower, that it's nearing completion, that they have reconfigured the tank farm, that there is an enormous office building on site, and...well, pretty much everything is shocking. The speed of development is breathtaking. 😮

Das talking felt like a chill pilot talking while we come in to land.

[NaniteNanitian]

Thanks for the commentary! I really enjoyed your calm voice Das.

[hupekyser]

I like this new suplimentary commentary. Keep going with it 👍

[kristjanmedja]

Being one of the ambient tribe people, I really enjoyed this commentary! I apriciate the optionality aspect for future videos tho. Great work as always, NSF.

[chrisschrimpf]

I LOVE that you do this blind and one take. No need to spend more time than that and makes it more interesting.

[revblade]

It's great having some commentary going with the video.

commentary > ambient > just reading labels
Ideally there would be 2 audio tracks (commentary and just ambient) that we can choose from.

[microwrx]

Much improved over the last one. I like it.

[donrubottom]

Love Das commentary. Since he can’t do live streams as much as in past years, this is great. A happy, positive voice.

[russellkeech]

Love the voice over. Now we know what we are looking at. Good job.

[gdreclaimed]

This was perfect! I like the "first impression" style here.

[That_TS_STEM_Nerd_]

This makes me want to watch these updates.

[KenWeyna]

commentary always more informative than none. Das you rock!
