Space tug. Used to guide massive starships into stations.

Smart Cargo. Unloads itself when you *stop* near a station(1,000-10,000 meters?). Swarms of cargo boxes(without G restrictions)are jettisoned with their tiny thrusters and away they go!....it's a sight to behold! millions of little containers traveling to their destination. Large containers might ha...

with cleared ships being "sucked in" by the tractor beam systems.

I like that. The service could cost you per ship size/ton. I'll pay the extra fee for a smooth docking while I get a cup of coffee!

how fitting that the last talk in here was about the UI, because the current thing is about UI. i like how the new turret gunner view in elite dangerous moves the ship out of the way when turning around. in many games i've had my own ship in my line of sight when using turrets, so that would be a n...

It was sarcastic.... :ghost: Or... NMS performs now in another level which I don't know... :problem: The tech I really like, is the galaxy map in Elite Dangerous. 400 billion stars(with names)that we can scroll through! very cool. And the map doesn't have to represent a galaxy full of stars...it co...

I'm sorry if this has been discussed 1E9 times but it looks to me like you "just" need to separate real-time AI (fighting in the current system) from everything else ("universe" AI), i.e. AI that can run at a way slower resolution. Those two AIs could communicate via messages. Example: 1. real-time...

I don't see why not. If one program (LT) can read/write the data, another program could certainly be written to read/write it as well. Cool. I hope..... Dominating a galaxy takes time :twisted: .......playing 2 hours a night is probably not gonna' do it! :lol: I'd like to sim it out a billion years...

*Cough* :wave: Thanks! :D Looks like I have a ton of reading to do! :lol: I'd also like to find how LT is going to store the galaxy/system info.....(ex: Lt/universe/galaxy/system/gronk3476/ships.....) Will I be able to write my own app to peruse the galaxy data and update them myself? :think:

Hey Josh, Can the LT universe be simulated?. ((Without graphics or time constraints (ship A takes 10 minutes to mine and 10 minutes to transport goods to station B...ETC.....) ) How fast can you sim all the NPC activities? Say: 24 hours of NPC mining/fighting/trading compressed into _ seconds? ? You...

Glad you 're making all these updates Josh!

Yeah...You really have to pay your dues. Not many get away without.

Fantastic!! Thanks Josh!

The metal shaders are the best thing EVER!

Wow! Thanks for the video Sebby!

Love the explosions...looks like many particles! ...so smooth.

Thanks Sky! Very nice.

So, am I'm correct in assuming Josh showed something similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tPdbLe3zx0 ? And the videos on Youtube still reflect the game?

I really want to play with the metal shader! https://youtu.be/ADcfqusFfaM
