I don't understand the criticism this demo got. Ok it wasn't so mindblowing like last years Gamescom, but the fact that 2 Idris are in game, fighting each other with working physics grids, damage states and all is pretty impressive. Yes they rammed each other which sucks and they had no shields, but that's all just balancing.
You're not wrong. Cap-ship battles will last a lot longer than what we've seen at Gamecom. I mean, they had no shields active whatsoever (So that the combat didn't drag on for an eternity and mess up the pacing of the demo, as they do with every presentation), it'll be nice to see a proper battle between two Cap ships, shields active and all. I mean, it takes five minutes just to kill a Cutlass as it stands, I can imagine bringing down an Idris with it's retinue of fighter craft will be one tough feat.
It'd be really nice to be able to get a "task force radio"-type of communications between ships - far inside ships like in Arma. You don't play with it if you don't want, but it'd be make cinematics so fucking awesome
There was a video of a Cutlass blowing up and the cargo being thrown to space. Guess you'll still have the option to search for cargo on the floating wrecks ;)
A mile? A Retaliator can lock onto another Retaliator from just over 40km (24.8 miles) away. Also the shields were obviously down for presentation's sake.
Give it time. They just got this working 1-2 weeks ago and it hasn't been fully optimized yet. Remember that these ships contain massive interiors with physics grids and hence have to rely on a lot of occlusion culling, LODs, etc. Having billions of polygons / thousands of objects moving around in this manner requires quite a bit of optimization (the same happens in e.g. Space Engineers if you try out capital ship battles in multiplayer).
Best explosion i`ve ever seen in spacefights !

Hans Yolo we didn't see all, because the citizen con is coming. I think many people forget this fact.
I think so too. This year they want to end on a high note and not like last year where Gamescom was the highlight.

They also had drastically reduced maximum health and armor, like everything else in the presentation.
The mindblowing content is in CitizenCon.
it's gonna be so cool when we could do that with friends !
The main railguns were fkn amazing. Capital ship fights will be really cool when the shields aren't disabled to make the fight quicker.
Battlestar Galactica would look great in this game
Battlecruiser Operational
Yes, we were stunned. It´s so awesome.

Wndrr and do not forget the reshade filter for a perfect optic. With them it is perfect.
This is for the reclaimer!
I’m hoping to get an idris one day
i am not, not enougth friends...
Would be interesting, how it looks inside the idris when it gets destroyed :D
They did a video on this, "Catastrophic Damage of Capital Ships", in ATV 3.2. Check it out, it looks really cool :D
Xenon 93 wow...
Looks lika a horror game :D
Did the Idris show a different main gun other than the railgun?
No, the railgun is the main gun.
Almost one year ago. The Idris should have been implemented by now.
TheDibbet we have to waiting for the release from object container streaming. Maybe the Idris will release in Christmas as a very special gift.
If the ships just explode then how do you get their loot and shit?
there's one more fundamental mechanic that's missing from the ships so far - components and component pipelines which can be damaged or disabled.
If you destroy a ship, then little to no loot. Disable and board and take out the defenders, then loot.

cant see shit through that idris window lol
the tapered part needs to be made just a flat pane very badly, helm can't even see dead ahead from their position
How do I get to do this in the game?
I am not sure, but actually you can not buy this ship. You can get ship maybe on ebay. Later you can get the Idris ingame.
any commentary??? aww :c
I WANT TO SEE AN IDRIS IN PIRATE SWARM!!!! WAVE 19 FIGHT AGAINST IDRIS. WAVE 20 - FIGHT AGAINST 2 IDRIS and a JAVELIN. HAHAHAHAHA
a retaliator would've knocked them both out a mile away.
I am not sure, I think this was a fast damage modell for the presentation. The railgun is stronger as a since 9 torpedo
is it just me or I didnt see any shield effects , might hah a batle with out shields on
The shield was disabled.

yep, a real ship battle wouldnt involve them flying at eachother either, it was just for cool factor
First!
oh i just wanted to point out the fact that when you need pirates dead they chose the gladius over the sabre or superhornet hah
Man the idris is one ugly ship in my opinion. Look so 80'. But that is just me :).
Looks so janky.

this game will never be released
why ?
Probably before you release your virginity, though.
