Rolling with the Tech…

This last month saw some pretty impressive tech hitting Star Citizen’s engine.  One of which was the Khartu-al, which from what I’ve seen from the animation looks fantastic.  It also sounds like they finished up the whole section of “buying things” in-game on the persistence front.  Of course, what good is it to buy things without a place to put it?  So next they’re working on transport and storage.  After that, it’ll be “selling” things back and with the cycle complete, I expect a lot of the web-store stuff to get moved in-game.  Likewise, the preview of the dynamic foley system (sound FX) when moving around was impressive.

Finally, the Starfarer is now apparently in hangers as well, and man, the thing is massive!  How does a squadron defend something like that?  I’d expect perhaps three hornets on escort duty.  the Starfarer is big and slow but looks like it can take a pounding.  Most players will probably concentrate fire on the big ship, which is why I think Hornets would be more ideal in a defense.  They’re more “stand-up” brawler fighters and a defensive role would seem to suit them better.  What are your thoughts?  Hit me up in chat or post to the forums if you have any.  Demonseed out.
