    Q: Toggle between 1rst and 3rd Person View in combat?

    Radar is very important, you don't get radar in 3PV, but yes you can.

    Q: Can hangars come under attack?

    No. Your Ships are safe. There will be stations and other places to attack and fight over

    Q: ID Ships in the verse? See names of characters?

    Ship ID, yes. Spoofable. Who's inside depends on sensors and a few other things (largely yet to be worked out).

    Q: Advanced alien technology? Sell on blackmarket?

    Still discussing what's out there, stay tuned.

    Q: Buy Vanduul ships and Equipment from the Banuu, since they are known to trade with the Vanduul?

    May have parts. Probably not ships although maybe once and a while.

    Q: Dealerships for collected goods?

    Player Stores maybe. Ways to sell stuff definitely.

    Q: DFM Low Ping, Distributed servers around the world? Or just US?

    Yes, DFM in the cloud, will have servers around the world.

    Q: Non-consensual PVP in lawless space?

    It will likely happen, slider is less effective.

    Q: Cover Mechanic Prone stances

    [redacted] studio (worst kept secret), move in cover, snap cover, prone (even in zero-g)

    Q: Economic side of the game. Concern about about depth

    Plenty in depth more later.

    Q: Modular Caterpillar, tabs indicate modular nature, varient lengths, and specialized modules

    Yes, can't stack infinitely, but yes.

    Interview
    David Ladyman, Jump Point Editor

    David goes back to Origin Systems with Chris and Eric (and Mike).

    Working on the Economy (although not designing), making it into a board game so they can playtest it before coding. Impressive video of a table top run through. Twenty systems, covering a whole conference table, the whole tabletop. Uses his background as a PnP game designer.

    Find the fun things and emphasize. Minimize the "noise".

    Test went pretty much as expected in round 1. Refining the rules as they go along. Round 2 right after the show.

    On interesting note: David's degree is mathematics and linguistics.

    Q: Will tech evolve and expand as the game as the game gets older?

    Interview - QA
    Some quick views of the Vanduul "swarm" They didn't seem to be moving much, but we see them be shot apart.

    Very traditional blackbox testing, get a build and try out the pieces, probably checklists.

    Leaderboards on the website.

    "Strike Team" A core group of testers from the community. Getting access to extra bug reporting tools.

    Preview of TNGS impressive looks at the competitors, several may make into the game, even if there will be only one "winner"

    Q: Will be able to use the holo table to customize in the first drop of DFM?

    No. Preconfigured only to start.

    Q: Balance of the three starter ships. (Aurora, 300i, Hornet)

    They just did a pass on that. Missiles on smaller ships are better than the Hornet but it has more. Hornet may still be the strongest ship.

    Q: Number of ships in the hangar.

    Can access AC as long as you have it.

    Q: Keyboard mouse, control customization

    No customization in the first version, but coming soon.

    Q: Living room(s) for the character in the Hangar module, but not cots in the Hangar.

    Room system coming and yes that will happen.

    Q: Where will our hangars be in the PU? Stacks of Hangars?

    Bunch of different starting planets, maybe eight. Won't see them all stacked up (Might be stacked in some landing zones, but they won't try to represent them all.

    Q: Big finish for Wingman's Arena Commander fight off?

    Actually, the plan is to do a retrospective show.

    Wingman's Hangar Episode 72: Finale
    (Citizen Star News) - 2014-06-04 - A bitter sweet event as the last episode airs. Taped last Friday, they didn't know how close they'd be to the release.

    Kinshadow hunting Logante

    B-man and the b-girls

    Disco Lando

    Q: How has WMH changed you?

    Yes. Winglet may even become a tester this summer.

    Eric: Agrees. Need someone that can go over the top :p

    Q: Has the Hangar caught the attention of other professionals? What was the reaction?

    Eric: It's appreciated but it's complicated. Most professionals could not do something like this due to publisher oversight.

    Maybe if asked enough. Forbbidden fitsmithee promptly crashes the stream. Ah back after a few. Whew.

    Pete Mackay, Weather Wizard

    Another compilation of the best bits that has me ROFLcoptering.

    And that ladies and Gentlemen is the end of Wingman's hanger. This thread will now be locked and stickyed for historical reference to the early development of Star Citizen.
