Took the nursa into a Distro Center for some elimination missions, and though we didn't need it, it was nice to be able to slllooowly drive through and even use the vehicle as a defensive barricade!
We (Arts&Crafts) recreated
Erik Wernquist’s original short film “Wanderers” within #StarCitizen.
Original score: Utho Riley
Narrator: Space Tomato reading snippets from Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot.
A&C is: DameShame, Utho Riley & Hasgaha https://youtu.be/R9GZ_rUWhpI
So I picked up the Nursa by melting my ROC (I can buy that in game if I need it) and upgrading one of my Pulse LX LTI tokens. I shoved the Nursa into the MSR for reasons which I hope will some day become apparent as a justification for moving things around to acquire it.
Now I'm going to try and get the Carrack out and load up the Bursa (basic Ursa?). I opted to put the basic edition into the Carrack because I have the MediPisces for the Carrack's shuttle bay, though putting the Nursa, the C8R AND having the med-bed on the Carrack is about as close to a flying hospital as we can get right now #StarCitizen
Issue, tho: Whenever I tried to launch the Carrack from the planet, it would explode because while it looks like the bay doors are open, they are apparently not. So I am going to try claiming and launching from a station. Fingers crossed. #StarCitizen
#StarCitizen’s graphics are simply stunning. And that’s just the little tutorial habitat. Which I’ve not yet managed to leave 🤣
Apparently, I need to eat and drink first, which I failed at yesterday. I’d picked up a box which I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to put down 😅
Today I managed to eat and drink. But drinking isn’t correctly advancing the tutorial so all that’s left is to admire the amazing level of detail.
So I’ve managed to complete the tutorial and leave the habitat. Not only that, I took to the skies, went to orbit and visited another planet.
This is a space simulation, its “realism” and fidelity is astounding. Quotes, because who knows what space flight in the future will be like! It’s certainly believable. And the future is using the metric system, so that’s a win 🤣
Who knows if this will ever come together as a game but boy does it look and feel amazing.
• the sound when rocketing up through the atmosphere really delivers a sense of the forces at play - your ship “groans”!
• condensation forms on your ship’s windows, with water starting to run off - it's incredibly immersive
• likewise stepping out of the ship on an ice planet makes your visor fog up and you really feel exposed to the elements
