We missed the demo race but 350R and M50 will drop for racing


Non 0.9 stuff:

First look at multi crew Connie in action. Oh no Erin got spaced!

Take two went much better you get two see the turretts and front view in quad screen.

And a little tiny FPS boarding teaser with the promise to see you at Australia.

Awesome. Thanks for the summary!

Private matches sooner than I expected. As such, didn't see co-op as the second new mode for 0.9... Great to hear that multi-crew was in a demo-able state internally... I'd suspected it would be, but it's good to hear that code branch hadn't hit show-stopping snags while the 12.5 branch was being more visibly worked on.

Two weeks is about a week longer than I figured the ready stuff hitting live would be, but not a big deal to me.

Slightly surprised at the Phoenix.. The luxury one gets an oversized power plant? And smuggling compartments, from the sound of it? With full armament, an alternate (better?) snub-fighter, AND a ground vehicle? Seems pretty darn Mary-Sue to me. Also, what's with the Taurus price point?

Eager to see video when I get home...

Taurus add on is $150, "upgrade" price is $5 irrc. The Taurus sounds like it would make a good smuggler as it has "scan resistant security compartments" as well and the ability to "eject dangerous cargo"

The Phoenix does seem a bit OP, but it's a limited ship.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a watch tomorrow when I get home.
