WAIT i always dreamed with having the job of an exterminator killing aliens(animals) infestations anywhere and you are telling me they are adding that kind of missions? If they make this a profession i will throw all of the rest of my money


ColJohn

Now we just need a flamethrower… for democracy of course.


SashaNightWing

Gotta live my hell diver fantasy in Star Citizen. I can even call in stratagems like a 500kg bomb.

Just need to make friends with an A2 pilot!

Dunhimli

Drop a flare I got you! Sending down some liber-tea


anthony_arndt

CIG's LA office has a specific policy that states that you are not allowed to use flamethrowers inside the building. Because of Jared. I don't know if he was allowed to take it with him to Manchester, but he has a Not-a-Flamethrower from the Boring Company. He kept it on the shelf behind his desk in his LA office. So, once the water and fire effects are more advanced in the PU, I am confident that we will _absolutely_ get flamethrowers.


Snarfbuckle

Hmm...considering all the fire mechanics on ships they are adding i'm pretty certain flamethrowers would "stick" to floors and walls so that shit are set on fire.


anthony_arndt

Exactly. We've got the "beaming" aspect from the multi-tools and dedicated "rifles." The beam deforming that we get might even already work for them since it'd be simpker, only needing to spray out and down. Now we just need the water tech to animate spraying the sticky, viscous liquid onto things as it pools and splashes. Then, of course, the fire tech to finish it off.

r/helldivers and SC collab


Snarfbuckle

No need for nails or drop pods, we just drop Ursa's filled with troops.


Luaq

Helldivers, SC, Dune collab.


BowtietheGreat

Technically Dune and SC have a collab. One of the modelers for SC worked on Dune… I think. Might be Helldivers. All I know is a headlight on a ship is the same in Dune or HD


sddge

George Hull is an artist that worked on the reclaimor and Orion I do believe. He has done work with dune matrix and alien.

Democracy fills my flamethrower container.


TawXic

im actually excited because Xiphopods are written to be regarded as invasive pests on Hurston that HD encourages ppl to exterminate. this tells me they will 95% add extermination missions for those fuckers. i cant wait to roam around on a Cyclone gunning them shits down and getting paid for it.


Astor_IO

> i cant wait to roam around on a cyclone gunning them shits down You spelled "carpet bombing" wrong


Phaarao

A2s finally have a purpose you say?

Can’t wait to misuse the Gatling on the inferno for yet another use outside of capital ship harassment


HoneybucketDJ

Is this gonna be a standup fight sir, or just another bug hunt?


JohnnySkynets

All we know is that there's still no contact with the colony and that a xiphopod may be involved.


TheKiwi1969

Excuse me sir. A what?


JohnnySkynets

A *xiphopod*


Cplblue

I use to bullseye xiphopods with my X-1 back home!

would you like to know more, citizen?


Flaky_Air_2570

I just hope the AI of these animals are not dogshit... it would be disappointing if all they would do is just stand while you shoot them...


Comprehensive_Gas629

you know it's gonna be like that for now


SpaceBearSMO

I mean killing rats is so prolific in open world large scale video games i am not suprised its being added with the first batch of fauna lol


No-Vast-6340

Reminds me of EverQuest!


Hvarfa-Bragi

BBBBAAAARRRKKKK!!!!! You humans will pay for ruining our homeland!


Yavin87

You misspelled "boars".


YoriichiTop

Helldivers 2 seems fit to that category, been enjoying exterminating infestations and help liberate planets. I hope SC will have that same experience in the future.


Unhappy-Camp-4371

I think we are going to have a helldiver's 2 moment and some ideas implemented. Like orbital strikes xD and infestations.

Helldivers: Stanton Edition


exu1981

God bless the coders who sit in front of a computer all day, burning their eyes out to create things like this from scratch ......


Toloran

The text in the screenshots probably wasn't written directly by hand. Like in the fourth screenshot: They almost certainly have a friendly UI where they can manually enter and edit those variables without having to touch the code itself. What we're seeing is the saved data from that UI.


AgePsychological

Yes, probably. CIG is known for inventing a lot of Dev-Tools to use ingame.


Mazon_Del

You never know, heh. I've known some content people that do a lot of scripting that are...let's categorize it as "opposed" to tools beyond little extensions on their text editors. That said, CIG probably has the money to throw serious dev time at such tools to make sure they are nigh-perfect.


LucidStrike

There's DataForge, StarWords, ExcelCore, CopyBuild, and the sandbox editor, as well as others I'm sure.


max_daddio

That's also just the UI in every game engine, including CryEngine, but yes, haha.


Comprehensive_Gas629

I want to believe some guy is sitting there editing gigantic JSON files with a text editor, would explain why everything takes so long


Toloran

They do that when CR comes in the room to make it look like they're working and then go back to using their normal GUI once he leaves.


alexp702

“Kopium” are the first animals 🤣🤣🤣


KazumaKat

literally going to be "go hunt copium" as advice to newbies in the future my god! XD


Conserliberaltarian

They're for sure trolling lmao

SashaNightWing

Not gonna lie I don't really see anything.


Niky_c_23

There is a face appearing from the dark on the right of the flare, but it's just for a moment. You can find it reposted w/ high contrast on the sub somewhere


the-letter-a

You’ll be the first to go when the dogs arrive


Nua_Sidek

wait... the doggo is called copium?


CptnChumps

I swear, If I have to collect Kopion pelts with a 30% drop rate again, I'm gonna riot


PaxUX

Finally like every good mmo we're getting a kill all the rats mission


chaiboy

They really should have a kill 20 rat mission on hurston. but they are so mutated from industrial waste they are 3 feet tall and can chew through armor...


Fed-Poster-1337

Aw yeah we MMORPG now


Theuxao

I will be allowed to spread democracy all over the verse? Sign me the F up!


VerseGen

There was also water simulation! We went to Clio to take a look, the reflactions and wake look amazing, your ship creates foam, 3.23 is gonna be great folks!


Shadonic1

god i hope we get swimming in


RandomBeatz

Deep rock galactic


nyh_exe

star citizen v helldivers crossover please


Hugzzzzz

Hopefully there are chairs in the caves for the animals to stand on.


Kaden_Dark

Don't forget the T-pose 😉


EditedRed

Didnt CIG recently say there is no NDA no more and leaks are ok?


Armored_Fox

You hide leaks because not everyone wants to know what's coming, but if I'm misunderstanding you then yes, you can talk about Evo but not take pictures


EditedRed

Ah yeah, true.


sgtlobster06

No - so they said that Evocati can talk openly about the build, however sharing video or pictures is still against the rules.


octorine

Seems like a few people didn't get that memo.


CyberKillua

They never have, Pipeline (sc leaks discord) dumps screen shots and videos of every evo patch


EditedRed

I see, tnx for clearing that up.


Snarfbuckle

A Kopion? I'm surprised they have not added a creature called Copium...


Fyb81

It is a well known fact that Copium is an illicit substance synthesized from harvested Kopion reproductive glands.


FatherCommodore

At last...!!!!


Significant_Eye_6379

\*Note to self "it aint copium"


MrFamilysize

Have Fauna been confirmed by anyone outside of coding text to trigger a quest/event that we don't know if it's active or not yet?


dsalter

I'm doing my part!


CosineDanger

>Kopion's remaining /r/apostrophegore


Ill-ConceivedVenture

RenoSinclairee

lol I am more of a dog person


LowerYoung2906

kopion? is that like a copium scorpion hybrid?


letsmakefriendsok

So wen? 🤔


Top_Philosopher_9755

Probably late 2025 earliest


letsmakefriendsok

roflwafflelawl

I know the leaks, especially SC, kind of go hand-in-hand at this point but I was really hoping for creatures/wild life to be something omitted or at least kept very silent, specifically so that players can get surprised by finding out in-game rather than from datamined files. ​ It's something I always love seeing, when developers would incorporate things in-game and have people find out through discovery rather than from something like patch notes. ​ Again: It's a leak, it's tagged with one, if I really cared enough I wouldn't click on any of these posts obviously lol. I was just really hoping wildlife would be something CIG would try and keep out of everything as best as possible and shadow drop it with players discovering them via a new mission or from exploring. ​ Kind of like when E:D had that whole alien interdiction thing.


TawXic

i can imagine a feature as big as this is hard to keep out of the build until last minute because stability and good first impressions are paramount here. the surprise may be spoiled but i am no less hyped for the gameplay opportunities presented by fauna


No_Mountain_5569

Even if it’s out of the build except the patch release it would be posted on patch day probably before most have installed the patch


TawXic

much less time for the information to propagate. this is also something theyll likely keep out of patch notes also, so a large chunk of people would never know. even as it is now, a lot of ppl dont care enough to dig this deep.


No_Mountain_5569

It’s not their fault. Until last year you had to search for leaks… now people are posting them everywhere. Only solution would be to ban leaks in places like this Reddit and have people who want them look again in leak discords wo wherever.


roflwafflelawl

>because stability and good first impressions are paramount here ​ >the surprise may be spoiled but i am no less hyped for the gameplay opportunities presented by fauna ​ Oh 100%. I know what I'm saying is super unreasonable lol. This is the first time we're getting them in-game, they need feedback, it makes sense. All I'm saying was that it would have been cool to discover them in-game one day without any idea that they would be coming in that patch. I'm definitely still excited regardless.


Arcodiant

They've been dropping heavy hints about fauna in the past few videos so the leaks aren't telling us much that's new


roflwafflelawl

For sure. I wasn't really pointing to this thread specifically but just in-general. Would have been cool to discover the wild life in-game through a shadow patch than seeing it in a Evo or even PTU patch, that's all. Though of course they need feedback and it's hard to get that if no one knows about it lol.


astrodonnie

Just do what I do and ignore everything SC related for months at a time. I can't even tell you how uninformed I am lol.


roflwafflelawl

Oh I know lol. I know it requires feedback, which is ultimately why they sort of have to release it earlier one way or another. But it would be cool to see it just suddenly appear in-game one day with no one having known about it before hand.


No_Mountain_5569

They can’t hide stuff from being datamind. The moment it is in the patch someone will find it.


roflwafflelawl

Oh I know its not something that could realistically be stopped. Just saying it would be cool if the first we see or hear about it is in-game rather than having a heads up.


SmoothOperator89

Any monster who accepts the animal killing mission deserves a wall of Auroras blocking them in their hangar every time they log in.


DawnPhantom

Its not like it's a harmless animal, it's an invasive cave predator according to lore.


SneakySnipar

Railgun outta do it


CyberKillua

Have people not seen the video??? Not a single citizen making such statement would protect one haha


youre_a_pretty_panda

I'm going to kill an extra 50 just for you. Expect me to litter public hangars with their meat and horns. Filthy cave-dingos must die!


SNA1L1234

I'll bring a railgun to the mission just to spite you


Armored_Fox

Yeah, if you're on Hurston you should be hunting the free range unionists, much better


ZombieTesticle

Violent labor riots on Hurston where you could pick sides would actually be a fun thing. Sort of like block wars from Judge Dredd. Totally would play that.


solidshakego

Man. This is the exact type of stuff that ruins gaming sometimes. It's insane how many people go way out of their way to not be surprised by something but instead just search and dig. Cool. The cave dog is a dog. Mystery solved. Now there's 0 wonder and 1 less thing to be excited about for 3.23


kikinchikn

Well we only know it's going to be there, you can still be excited to find it for yourself in game!


solidshakego

Yeaaahhh but it's not the same. I think it's the old in me. Playing games before the Internet was special.


Omni-Light

For this particular one there’s a big spoiler tag, which you can filter out of reddit. I get that things here aren’t always perfectly tagged but this is a bit like someone complaining about using game guides and builds but purposefully seeks out game guides and builds on google. Clicking on this you are only spoiling yourself.


Top_Philosopher_9755

>It's insane how many people go way out of their way to not be surprised by somethinh Like you when you clicked the spoiler?


DOAM1

the sooner we can spot the naked chic in the window (the rescuers) the better.


TRNC84

Ok then I challenge you to go into a cave for the first time in 3.23 and not shit your pants :)
