I think it's incredibly important that we execute combat in a way that creates a fun and rewarding experience and not a punishing experience."},{"start":"00:16:13","end":"00:16:28","text":"And so the team has done a tremendous job designing this out, laying out the regions, laying out territories, but this is going to open up the door for people to capture enemy territory across factions."},{"start":"00:16:28","end":"00:16:36","text":"And I can't wait to see the space battles that take place as we as we get into the C4 release."},{"start":"00:16:36","end":"00:16:45","text":"There's a lot more here, but we do have a phenomenal couple of guests with us here. So let me turn it back over to you, maybe to bring them up and kick this off for sure."},{"start":"00:16:45","end":"00:16:57","text":"Just to to piggyback from what you were saying, Michael, it can also be said that C4 is likely one of the, if not the biggest real game economy ever created."},{"start":"00:16:57","end":"00:17:14","text":"And that also we are doubling down on blockchain tech at the same time. Well, you see like the Web 3 gaming market and some people just getting out of it, some projects getting out of the market, the startless believes in blockchain tech."},{"start":"00:17:14","end":"00:17:25","text":"And in fact, it's doubling down on blockchain tech, leveraging it for C4. But we can get into the topic so people really understand what we're building here."},{"start":"00:17:26","end":"00:17:40","text":"Since you mentioned it, I do just want to elaborate on that. It's a bold statement, but I would go so far as to say there is not a single team that embraces blockchain tech with the integration of gaming to the extent that we do."},{"start":"00:17:40","end":"00:17:50","text":"And I would argue we're an order of magnitude beyond the next closest team that looks at integrating crypto and blockchain into any of the products that we're releasing."},{"start":"00:17:50","end":"00:18:10","text":"So yes, we've absolutely doubled down on that. That has been our ethos that has been our philosophy from the beginning. We've seen the benefits of ecosystem expansion from different groups and different teams and developers building out building out their own tooling that are of incredible benefit to our own community."},{"start":"00:18:10","end":"00:18:26","text":"So we didn't mention it. We don't have much to talk about on it today, but the Dow has been absolutely talking along. We had another, you know, the second council election and five council members that got brought in earlier this year."},{"start":"00:18:26","end":"00:18:35","text":"And I think we're on, I should have checked this actually, but I think we're on pip 17 or 18 right now. 17 I believe. Yeah, 18 coming."},{"start":"00:18:35","end":"00:18:55","text":"So and the Dow and the council are achieving exactly what we would want to see right now, which is a relatively restricted set of objectives and authority, but that is to take advantage of this financial mechanic that we've built into"},{"start":"00:18:55","end":"00:19:15","text":"kind of our overall corporate structure, which is the Dow is able to capture revenue via taxation off of game systems and that taxation is largely driven right now through sage and supplemented by a share of the marketplace fees that are going to the Dow as well."},{"start":"00:19:15","end":"00:19:31","text":"But taking advantage of this treasury and of this ecosystem fund to support those developers and creators and other people that are building alongside us here financially via pips and distribution of funds to them."},{"start":"00:19:31","end":"00:19:41","text":"So all of that's been going on as well and fortunately is working largely autonomously, which is what you would expect and hope for out of the Dow."},{"start":"00:19:41","end":"00:20:01","text":"For sure, for sure. So yeah, if you are a builder or trying to build something in Star Atlas, don't hesitate to reach out to council member and they will help you prepare a policy improvement proposal so you can leverage the ecosystem fund and start building using this catalyst tools programs and IP."},{"start":"00:20:01","end":"00:20:19","text":"So yeah, I like that you mentioned that Michael. Okay, is everyone ready? Do you guys have your drinks next to you? Some snacks? Is everyone ready? I want to make sure that everybody's comfortable and feeling good before we get on the main topics for today."},{"start":"00:20:19","end":"00:20:38","text":"I'm sorry, one more thing. One more thing. Somebody out there did place a bet that we wouldn't clear 100 attendees in this town hall and I just want to proudly point out we have 302 people in the audience in the depths of the bear market right now."},{"start":"00:20:38","end":"00:20:46","text":"So I think that someone's going to need to pay out on that."},{"start":"00:20:47","end":"00:21:00","text":"But yeah, we can get started. We have two wonderful guests on stage. I'll be introducing them right now. First, Danny Floyd, CPO at Star Atlas, Danny, how are you doing, man?"},{"start":"00:21:00","end":"00:21:13","text":"I don't think doing well. Apologies in advance. I'm currently at an Airbnb in Greece. So the connection might be up and down just heads up."},{"start":"00:21:14","end":"00:21:21","text":"But yeah, things start going just interrupt me."},{"start":"00:21:21","end":"00:21:41","text":"I appreciate you joining. I appreciate you joining the town hall. Guys, Danny has some pretty cool things prepared for us. We'll be turning the cameras off just because of a stream bandwidth and will be skin sharing some of the things. Also, so you guys don't make any more gifts of us. So yeah, we appreciate that. I'm joking. We love those."},{"start":"00:21:41","end":"00:21:48","text":"And then we have also bread on stage bread. My friend, how are you doing?"},{"start":"00:21:48","end":"00:21:54","text":"Doing well. We're looking forward to this. Something we've been working on for a while. So really excited to share it."},{"start":"00:21:54","end":"00:22:06","text":"Yes, we've been we haven't been sharing anything about C4 and you know how hard that was on Michael guys. He didn't share. But he was sharing something here and there."},{"start":"00:22:06","end":"00:22:27","text":"But we never really got into the real details for C4 and that's what we're going to be doing now. So I know Brett you and Danny have some things prepared for us. I know if you want to give a brief intro from your end bread Danny on C4 and then we can get on the specifics."},{"start":"00:22:27","end":"00:22:33","text":"Yeah, we can kind of kick this off by just saying what's the form."},{"start":"00:22:33","end":"00:22:42","text":"Yes, we can hear you. I think you may have a little bit of delay, but we can hear you."},{"start":"00:22:42","end":"00:22:46","text":"All right, sorry. Yeah, big delay."},{"start":"00:22:46","end":"00:23:01","text":"Yeah, so I just wanted to kind of give a quick prep on this what we're about to share. But C4 if anyone doesn't know is kind of finally where sage sage labs."},{"start":"00:23:01","end":"00:23:17","text":"Turns into a full 4x game and what that means is well 4x game and like a usually a in space games it's an exploration which we kind of already have."},{"start":"00:23:17","end":"00:23:28","text":"But you know, we're going to have some more things with scanning and the amount of systems that the map is turning into expansion which also we kind of have."},{"start":"00:23:28","end":"00:23:45","text":"But we're just turning it up like orders of magnitude more with the claim stakes and the haves and then exploitation which is again with the claim stakes and being able to like."},{"start":"00:23:45","end":"00:23:56","text":"What the resources crafting and and you'll see the crafting it's it's again gone up order of magnitude."},{"start":"00:23:56","end":"00:24:11","text":"And then the biggest one is extermination which is the combat system. So C4 is meant to turn sage into 4x and we'll kind of get into that and see a little bit behind the curtain."},{"start":"00:24:11","end":"00:24:15","text":"So I just want to mention anything before we hop in."},{"start":"00:24:15","end":"00:24:30","text":"Now the big thing is why call it C4 it's just the big items here are claim stakes crafting haves combat and counseling so for big sees that we're going to be releasing all together."},{"start":"00:24:30","end":"00:24:50","text":"Nice nice I think that was a perfect intro and I know you guys have some map updates that we teased a little bit before we shared a little sneak peak with the community but I think that will be a great starting point if you guys want on what is changing from the current sage map."},{"start":"00:24:51","end":"00:25:03","text":"Yeah, yeah, I'll pull that up. I want to give a little bit of a primer here to let's see."},{"start":"00:25:04","end":"00:25:08","text":"Here we go."},{"start":"00:25:08","end":"00:25:18","text":"So as we saw it's already kind of out there that the map is just gotten much much bigger."},{"start":"00:25:19","end":"00:25:35","text":"Before you know in sage labs and even star based we tooling wasn't available to us as accessible as it is now with AI now tooling is trivial."},{"start":"00:25:35","end":"00:25:47","text":"So we're taking full advantage of that like before we'd have to use Google sheets and it quickly would even make the Google sheets slow down with so much data and all these like custom formulas."},{"start":"00:25:48","end":"00:25:56","text":"That are everywhere it would actually start hitting like performance issues in Google sheets."},{"start":"00:25:56","end":"00:26:10","text":"So with this new c4 effort we just wanted to scale up insanely and so one of the things I've been doing is creating tools to help that."},{"start":"00:26:11","end":"00:26:25","text":"And it's similar to like as an artist you want if you're making a character or something you want to see what it looks like in in the game right so you make the character you put in the game you run around with it test as a silhouette look good as a read."},{"start":"00:26:25","end":"00:26:38","text":"How does it feel from a game is perspective and so this is kind of what the tools are great for you know it's hard to get that sense when you're just looking at a spreadsheet and you try to make it look as close as possible but."},{"start":"00:26:39","end":"00:27:05","text":"Instead having these custom tools which would take weeks or months to get to this level of fidelity just to start spitting out content now AI assistance coding you can do it in a couple days with one person and then you have a full editor and you're spinning out like actual content that goes directly into the game and it's just a nice clean pipeline."},{"start":"00:27:06","end":"00:27:28","text":"So you know I'm kind of showing these tools to the team as we give updates and they thought it was a good idea to maybe show the community as well and get a nice peak behind the curtain so that's where this whole sage editor sweet kind of came in and again this even this landing page took an hour to put together to tie the tools together."},{"start":"00:27:28","end":"00:27:35","text":"So we're we're using this to to our benefit for star at list and."},{"start":"00:27:37","end":"00:27:43","text":"Because the amount of output now that we're seeing with the amount of new systems and resources."},{"start":"00:27:44","end":"00:27:46","text":"I don't know if a tiny."},{"start":"00:27:47","end":"00:27:50","text":"Team like this could even manage."},{"start":"00:27:51","end":"00:27:57","text":"I don't know if it's possible for a brain to put all that in your head so we need these systems so anyway."},{"start":"00:27:58","end":"00:28:01","text":"Pop into the map I mean that's kind of like the coolest."},{"start":"00:28:02","end":"00:28:18","text":"Sorry to interrupt you then you just like clarification for the audience this is not the sage see for you I but we're showing you guys as Nick big behind the curtains on how the editor tools look like this is not the UI that you will see what's for."},{"start":"00:28:18","end":"00:28:32","text":"Exactly right yeah this is just behind the scenes raw development tools not a lot of care into like the looks just enough to get the right impression or."},{"start":"00:28:33","end":"00:28:40","text":"Any of us on the team to quickly make edits and and to see what it looks like just."},{"start":"00:28:40","end":"00:28:56","text":"You know from top down so yeah so we have this map editor tool load in the map a little bit crazy but let me just turn off some of these filters."},{"start":"00:28:58","end":"00:29:08","text":"So the biggest thing obviously is the amount of system so every dot here is now a new system."},{"start":"00:29:10","end":"00:29:14","text":"And we're breaking into the region so so the difference."},{"start":"00:29:15","end":"00:29:20","text":"We go from 51 systems to now 69 regions."},{"start":"00:29:21","end":"00:29:30","text":"So you kind of can think of regions the same way systems now in the current map and we'll get into more detailed later but you can see."},{"start":"00:29:31","end":"00:29:38","text":"How we kind of setting it up and I was able to manually place all these systems and then check to see if."},{"start":"00:29:38","end":"00:29:49","text":"You know system counts match up and we have a nice even distribution between the different factions but the point is also to not."},{"start":"00:29:51","end":"00:30:01","text":"Well with combat and the way the systems are coming out most of them will be will be neutral from the start so there's going to be plenty of place to go and and find."},{"start":"00:30:01","end":"00:30:13","text":"And take over new territory and so so another crazy thing is and you saw those labels when I first dropped it but those are all the."},{"start":"00:30:14","end":"00:30:29","text":"The new resources so fair to zoom in starting to lag now with the summer things and return off the so I said is all these tools now we can throw in there like I even have a a heat map checker so you can see certain."},{"start":"00:30:32","end":"00:30:40","text":"Like say if I want to see a heat map of hydrogen you can see it getting caught in the middle so so one of the things we wanted to do."},{"start":"00:30:42","end":"00:30:48","text":"Was the very outskirts where the the safe zones are will have low richness."},{"start":"00:30:49","end":"00:30:54","text":"And then as you get closer to the middle to zero zero will have high richness."},{"start":"00:30:54","end":"00:31:02","text":"And so I'm working with Chris and you know we're talking about how to distribute things."},{"start":"00:31:03","end":"00:31:17","text":"But the point is to like you know let people want to come in and take over territories of different richnesses and and and collide in the middle with combat becomes very interesting you know to want to do that."},{"start":"00:31:17","end":"00:31:28","text":"So anyway by zoom in like say here you can kind of see the amount of new resources that are."},{"start":"00:31:29","end":"00:31:42","text":"This is I don't I don't think this is all of them this is in the final list which we're tailing we're tailing it every day so yeah things will update and change and."},{"start":"00:31:47","end":"00:32:00","text":"Link together with these new things these these these warplanes and then core systems comes into the combat and owning a territory so we'll get into all that but I just kind of wanted to."},{"start":"00:32:01","end":"00:32:10","text":"Throw a quick overview of like the new map that we're working with and the stats are pretty easy let me pull that up so we got."},{"start":"00:32:10","end":"00:32:15","text":"940.5 total systems."},{"start":"00:32:16","end":"00:32:24","text":"Like I said I evenly distributed it between the different factions as if we were you know taking the current map and it's walking it over."},{"start":"00:32:25","end":"00:32:37","text":"3,656 total planets stars and everything like this bunch of stats you know again the great thing about AI is it's automating a lot of this stuff."},{"start":"00:32:37","end":"00:32:46","text":"And there's even some binary systems and if you're lucky you can find a try and airy system let me see."},{"start":"00:32:51","end":"00:32:58","text":"No no try and airy's right now anyway I'll I take over and stuff you."},{"start":"00:32:59","end":"00:33:03","text":"We can keep that up if you can just to give people a reference as well."},{"start":"00:33:03","end":"00:33:08","text":"Just be able to point it but yeah so."},{"start":"00:33:09","end":"00:33:28","text":"Couple of big things there that you may have noticed so starting getting into more of the mechanics of how all this is working so there's no longer what we called sectors where like currently in saves is a big grid right on the map that you know in your ship is like in a grid square or it's moving now we're basically going to a decimal point number system."},{"start":"00:33:29","end":"00:33:34","text":"And it's 64 bit if you look at the numbers out that means there's enough."},{"start":"00:33:35","end":"00:33:57","text":"There's enough points basically across the entire real world galaxy for us to differentiate each ship by an animator 64 bit numbers are crazy so we can basically increase the density of galaxy infinitely now just by increasing each or by putting more things in between slowing ships down like you can make the galaxy feel bigger so we've got a ton more variation there."},{"start":"00:33:58","end":"00:34:06","text":"That also means ships in our no longer interact like within the same sector they have a range of interaction call the interaction range that'll come up more with combat later on."},{"start":"00:34:08","end":"00:34:16","text":"So a couple of the numbers there that Danny was saying like all the all the 69 regions all the systems planets like multiple different types of planets all over the place."},{"start":"00:34:18","end":"00:34:23","text":"Danny could you pull up the like region map again just a show off."},{"start":"00:34:23","end":"00:34:30","text":"So what you're going to do is regret how are you going to tell people how they can own a region yes we are."},{"start":"00:34:32","end":"00:34:34","text":"This is important pay attention."},{"start":"00:34:39","end":"00:34:40","text":"It's loading."},{"start":"00:34:43","end":"00:34:46","text":"Yeah here we go just a bit laggy."},{"start":"00:34:49","end":"00:34:50","text":"Still loading a little bit."},{"start":"00:34:50","end":"00:34:55","text":"Yeah so a little bit of privacy."},{"start":"00:34:56","end":"00:35:00","text":"So loading up there goes now it works."},{"start":"00:35:01","end":"00:35:13","text":"Yep so you'll notice that all the systems are organized into regions region owned so you'll so each system has a singular star base basically on it."},{"start":"00:35:13","end":"00:35:17","text":"You can conquer each one of those star bases to the combat system when we'll talk about that a bit later."},{"start":"00:35:18","end":"00:35:26","text":"But the biggest thing is how we kind of have border regions and safer regions."},{"start":"00:35:27","end":"00:35:34","text":"So the regions are connected together by those by the star paths there were planes for what we're calling them now."},{"start":"00:35:35","end":"00:35:38","text":"So that kind of tells you what what regions neighbor each other."},{"start":"00:35:39","end":"00:35:46","text":"So for to own a region you need to own all of the core systems so all those little like castles that Danny has here."},{"start":"00:35:47","end":"00:35:55","text":"Those are the core systems those are the ones you want to protect the ones you want to build up right if somebody comes in and conquer those systems they can steal your region from you right."},{"start":"00:35:56","end":"00:36:01","text":"So owning the whole region what that does is it allows you to make regions behind it safe."},{"start":"00:36:01","end":"00:36:08","text":"So the rules are a region is a border region if it's if it has any neighboring regions that are not owned by you."},{"start":"00:36:08","end":"00:36:12","text":"Or if there's any systems inside of it that are owned by an opposing faction as well."},{"start":"00:36:13","end":"00:36:25","text":"So the the advantages of having a safe region are that you enemies cannot enter those regions they cannot attack they can't come in and try it in mind they are asteroids they can't do anything right."},{"start":"00:36:25","end":"00:36:32","text":"So they want so you're going to have these kind of like safe regions that can become border regions again as they start conquering closer and closer to you."},{"start":"00:36:33","end":"00:36:38","text":"So you've got to so you get that option of do you want to participate in that BVP or not right."},{"start":"00:36:39","end":"00:36:42","text":"I will all at Danny talk about it anymore that if he wants to but like the logic find it."},{"start":"00:36:42","end":"00:36:59","text":"Yeah, I mean so so one of the coolest thing is first off you have your every faction has their five star which are permanently safe."},{"start":"00:36:59","end":"00:37:22","text":"And then you know as you move out you have the option to expand that safe region essentially as long as you have these like border lines or or front lines that are also owned completely then you essentially expand this is like an entire safe region."},{"start":"00:37:22","end":"00:37:34","text":"And you know just what I've been jokingly calling cold attack is safe you all have to do is own that one and then this one's completely safe just as an easy way to understand it."},{"start":"00:37:35","end":"00:37:45","text":"So yeah that's going to be a night because then you can just you know send out things and fleets without having to worry about like security exports and stuff like that."},{"start":"00:37:45","end":"00:38:05","text":"So it strikes a nice balance between there there's still options for people to attack so it's not just like the first few star bases that you can attack you can still have tactical like if there's a border there you can go around and attack the back of their region right so you can still have these tactical plays going around and still be able to cut off supplies to the very front lines."},{"start":"00:38:05","end":"00:38:22","text":"But it also allows players to kind of feel safe by staying in the safe regions for getting having their assets still productive out there but of course the borders are going to be where the richest resources are so you're going to want to go out there and take the risk right protect your assets conquer all of that."},{"start":"00:38:23","end":"00:38:30","text":"So lots lots of trade-offs there that you get to play around with and coordinate with your faction on."},{"start":"00:38:31","end":"00:38:48","text":"So mentioned before we have the warplanes now so the biggest movement changes so like now we have a decimal point system on the map you can click anywhere on the map and go there right down to effectively nanometer scale on the map you're not going to care that much about going that far."},{"start":"00:38:48","end":"00:39:17","text":"But now we have warplanes is the third type of movement so we still have subwarp fuel efficient very slow can be and the other part about that is you can be attacked while you're subwarping if you're in a region in an area we we still warping we've added a warps pool at the beginning so basically your ships stays idle for a little bit then goes into warping then arrives right and then there's a warp cool down as well the warps pool is basically you can't just work to get out of an attack range they can still attack."},{"start":"00:39:18","end":"00:39:41","text":"You want your warps pooling so you got to be careful there and then there's the warplanes so warplanes you have to own both ends both star bases on both ends of it but then they just charge you an atlas fee to travel in the warplane rather than you having to spend fuel so it's kind of the highways of the of the galaxy so and it's also the great beach heads right so if you're attacking a sector you want to take the warplane on the other side so your ships can get in there much more easily."},{"start":"00:39:41","end":"00:39:55","text":"But there was a question bread on it and it was if you can only travel through warplanes or you can get anywhere however you want basically like just traveling there."},{"start":"00:39:55","end":"00:40:04","text":"Yeah so you can still travel anywhere you want using subwarp warp like when you're if you don't if you're trying to go from like say that orange one to the green one over there that I'm looking at."},{"start":"00:40:04","end":"00:40:27","text":"You don't own the warplane on the other side yet so you need to go take the warplane on the other side to be able to actually take the star base on the other side to be able to activate that right so you do have to travel across the void there and can be attacked while you're in there all that can still happen right and it's a trade off right you spend at list to pay for the warplanes and they're faster versus spending fuel to."},{"start":"00:40:27","end":"00:40:33","text":"Warper subwarp yourself right so there's a bunch of options there you get to pick."},{"start":"00:40:33","end":"00:40:50","text":"Nice I still saw another question about is this in Solana code yet yeah it is if we've got the map is done we're still working on some other parts of it for C4 but yeah the map is map part is done the movement it's actually was relatively easy to convert over so."},{"start":"00:40:51","end":"00:41:08","text":"And I just want to make a quick comment on the warplane fees those are will be consistent with the rest of the systems of taxation within sage which is to say that any of the revenue collected via warplane or star path fees will go directly to the Dow as well."},{"start":"00:41:09","end":"00:41:36","text":"So yeah other things on the map maybe noticed all of these resources so updated numbers most recent numbers still subject to change 86 different raw resources 229 intermediate components and 145 ingredients are currently what we're looking at on the map so those raw resources are spread across the map everywhere."},{"start":"00:41:36","end":"00:41:46","text":"Then everything else is going to be craftable so of course subject to change they're changing a lot depending on what new things need to be supported and all of that."},{"start":"00:41:46","end":"00:42:02","text":"Another big thing that I think everybody will be happy about star base upkeep no longer thing neither toolkits nor food so that's all going to be handled in other ways no more no more just everybody having to pay food follow the whales around and paying food there."},{"start":"00:42:06","end":"00:42:24","text":"Nice I think that covers most for when it comes to the map right yeah I think that's the major things on here yeah there's not going to be a higher zone we're not going to be able that just yet just want to mention that it's all going to be medium or zone or lower zone so."},{"start":"00:42:26","end":"00:42:28","text":"Maybe we'll turn on eventually."},{"start":"00:42:29","end":"00:42:31","text":"We have people you too."},{"start":"00:42:36","end":"00:42:42","text":"But should we transition to combat I think people want to learn about combat and how that will work."},{"start":"00:42:43","end":"00:43:04","text":"Yeah so we can start out with a little bit of just some of the details about how combat works so it's not going to be like tactical type of battles or like flying around ships flying over each other it's going to be rather simplified to start out here just to kind of get us started and make make it easier for development like we want to get this actually out at some point right."},{"start":"00:43:04","end":"00:43:22","text":"So the combat's going to be what we call atomic the idea being you basically a ship chooses a target to attack the attack instantly and the results are calculated there that's it results meaning not meaning like when ship always die and like we're going to run 50 attacks in that instant it's like."},{"start":"00:43:22","end":"00:43:35","text":"Ships will take damage maybe one of them dies maybe both of them die right but it's going to it's going to be a ship chooses another ship or ship chooses a star based to attack right so that's how that works i'm."},{"start":"00:43:36","end":"00:43:46","text":"There's going to be loot so when you when you blow up a ship you will there cargo pod will drop so all the cargo items you'll be able to take a portion of those items some of them will get burned of course but."},{"start":"00:43:46","end":"00:43:54","text":"You'll get a portion of those items and salvage ships will be able to see more of those items so there's a very good reason to have salvage ships right."},{"start":"00:43:56","end":"00:44:04","text":"So there's also there for all of this there's an action range so."},{"start":"00:44:04","end":"00:44:15","text":"Now that we are in a floating point system like before how you would do it is basically say okay if you're in the same square you're allowed to attack anybody else in the same square now what it is is there's a global action range or."},{"start":"00:44:16","end":"00:44:39","text":"Interact range whatever you want to call out there but that that global range you can kind of think of it right now is point five a you which is the one squares one a you so basically if you draw a circle around that any anything within that range of your ship you can interact with and everybody has the same one so there's not like ranging with each other like you're not one ship doesn't have higher range and it's just kidding like that gets a little complicated on chain so you just want to avoid that completely."},{"start":"00:44:39","end":"00:44:51","text":"So the as long as you're within that range you can attack you can loot and you can repair as well repair ships can also actively repair allied ships and star bases."},{"start":"00:44:54","end":"00:45:06","text":"So another system that's not going to go too far into details because pretty complicated and like implications and everything but basically there's an action point system that basically says how."},{"start":"00:45:06","end":"00:45:34","text":"How much can you attack are you reloading if you loot something basically your weapons get reset so like you have to take that trade off of you'll be vulnerable if you try to loot something but so you need to clear out other enemies around you also forgot to mention it like loot will be locked to the last hitter so if you hit if you are the one that kills the ship you get the loot locked to yourself for at least a period and then it'll be open open season for that but there's the."},{"start":"00:45:34","end":"00:45:54","text":"The AP system that it also plays into preventing like large ships aren't going to be just blasting small ships but a small ships blast a large ship it'll be able to defend itself that sort of thing so you can kind of think of it more as just like there's an energy bar it gets spent up if you repair or loot and it gets partially spent if you attack or defend."},{"start":"00:45:54","end":"00:46:00","text":"Another part about this as well on the atomic combat doesn't really matter who starts the attack."},{"start":"00:46:01","end":"00:46:13","text":"It both ships will shoot back at each other so there's not just a click fest and like whoever gets the click first right it's both ships attack each other will attack each other whenever you hit each other."},{"start":"00:46:14","end":"00:46:22","text":"So I think the next big thing is the ship configurator to kind of tell you about some of the stats that are being worked on and."},{"start":"00:46:22","end":"00:46:25","text":"Man I think the committee is going to love this part Fred."},{"start":"00:46:25","end":"00:46:27","text":"Absolutely Matt."},{"start":"00:46:28","end":"00:46:34","text":"Yeah this is where things get very interesting you needed that combat breakfast understand where this goes but yeah."},{"start":"00:46:35","end":"00:46:49","text":"Yeah a combat is kind of the next big tool as you see I have a coming soon section so I want to bring basically what we build in these tools leading up to the combat simulator."},{"start":"00:46:49","end":"00:47:15","text":"And you mentioned loot so that's where we start we start with loot because this is kind of the basis of everything so I have this this tool that we can I can easily list out every single individual component you know in the size and tiers and each one needs to be its own like individual item right."},{"start":"00:47:15","end":"00:47:25","text":"And this was not I couldn't use notion I couldn't use Google sheets so I just built this thing to handle this volume of data and there's."},{"start":"00:47:26","end":"00:47:35","text":"We ended up with about 3900 items and these are like the all the all the crafts that we're going to going to be craftable in C4."},{"start":"00:47:36","end":"00:47:45","text":"And and then I can export this out and use it in these other tools and I'll show you how that that works."},{"start":"00:47:46","end":"00:47:57","text":"So this on the back end to we have like you know all the different items in a sheet and that's referenced here in a conditional sort of format."},{"start":"00:47:58","end":"00:48:08","text":"So then I exported out of the loot matrix and then I bring it into the ship configurator now let me just load that up."},{"start":"00:48:12","end":"00:48:26","text":"So the ship can fit big takes all that components modules ship weapons countermeasures missiles."},{"start":"00:48:27","end":"00:48:34","text":"And as all goes towards configuring your ship and each each one of these components."},{"start":"00:48:36","end":"00:48:39","text":"You know is a positive negative into a certain degree."},{"start":"00:48:41","end":"00:48:46","text":"The the actual stats and I can kind of show you how that looks like."},{"start":"00:48:47","end":"00:48:56","text":"So now you can take every ship and bring it into this comparison table and here's a set of the stats it's not totally final like all stats that go into."},{"start":"00:48:57","end":"00:49:10","text":"So it's not going to be the combat simulator but a lot of these base stats are already live and then we're you know upgrading them and with these configs so right now every ship just has like a."},{"start":"00:49:12","end":"00:49:19","text":"Configuration and what that looks like is say I can't run a greenator is these are all."},{"start":"00:49:19","end":"00:49:26","text":"Even Joseph at you."},{"start":"00:49:28","end":"00:49:31","text":"Oh we're losing."},{"start":"00:49:32","end":"00:49:40","text":"We can still see the screen we can still see the screen now we can continue you can continue you can continue."},{"start":"00:49:41","end":"00:49:43","text":"It's a really bad king."},{"start":"00:49:43","end":"00:49:56","text":"So what I'll do is I'll take a ship I'll create a configuration I'll actually load in the CSV from notion so it's the same information that we've already planned on."},{"start":"00:49:57","end":"00:50:04","text":"And then slot in weapons and countermeasures to match the ship you know let me know if I'm getting lost again."},{"start":"00:50:04","end":"00:50:18","text":"And so paints takenly went in brought in all that data into the setager and set these all up and and you can see in real time."},{"start":"00:50:18","end":"00:50:35","text":"If I were to change any of them let's add a let's see about that the ship can support it but the large kinetic and then you'll see the the kinetic energy kind of or kinetic damage update real time."},{"start":"00:50:36","end":"00:50:47","text":"So I'll go through that and so this is basically a shopping list now or a crafting list that for this specific config."},{"start":"00:50:48","end":"00:50:53","text":"So I'll go through the same thing with the Calico evac tier one config."},{"start":"00:50:54","end":"00:51:10","text":"What you'll need to do is go through the crafting process or buy it on the secondary market and get each one of these upgraded components and a lot of people you know already with those component bundles you're going to get some of these or at least yeah."},{"start":"00:51:10","end":"00:51:17","text":"And then you'll be able to slot these in and activate this tier one configuration."},{"start":"00:51:18","end":"00:51:24","text":"And so you get these upgraded stats if you apply that specific configuration."},{"start":"00:51:25","end":"00:51:33","text":"Now I did the one through five and these are just like scaling up so it's all the same items and they're scaling up."},{"start":"00:51:33","end":"00:51:47","text":"And then what that looks like is we have a couple of scaling formulas that apply the class scale and then tier scale and you can actually see that when you go into like how is how is fuel capacity affected here."},{"start":"00:51:48","end":"00:52:01","text":"Oh, I got a fuel of module and here's the formula that actually you know takes the base value that I input and then multiply it by class and then multiply it by tier and then you're ended up with plus 244."},{"start":"00:52:01","end":"00:52:12","text":"And these aren't final stats. These aren't final values. So now that I've got everything imported imported and slotted in."},{"start":"00:52:13","end":"00:52:16","text":"Now as we're where we go in and we do some compare."},{"start":"00:52:17","end":"00:52:25","text":"I also put together this like these ship scores that show like, okay, how does it do on cargo compared to all the ships and has a due on."},{"start":"00:52:25","end":"00:52:49","text":"Support utility aspect the mobility combat mining score and then it shows you like what stats and how awesome they are and they're all weighted separately goes towards giving you that score and then I'll go through and and you know take different classes of ships and compare these scores to each other."},{"start":"00:52:49","end":"00:52:56","text":"Also a bunch of analysis tools to make sure I'm."},{"start":"00:52:57","end":"00:53:02","text":"So yeah, lots going on here."},{"start":"00:53:02","end":"00:53:09","text":"Again, it's work of progress, but oh, so my last thing I wanted to do here."},{"start":"00:53:09","end":"00:53:15","text":"Well, two more things get all the stats, we've got 61 ships."},{"start":"00:53:15","end":"00:53:29","text":"All the configs are working nicely and would be as expected and then build a bunch more configs."},{"start":"00:53:29","end":"00:53:32","text":"So right now we have a bunch of different damage types."},{"start":"00:53:32","end":"00:53:36","text":"We're now able to turn on a bunch of different damage types."},{"start":"00:53:36","end":"00:53:48","text":"So with all the different weapons, we can turn on different damage types and how I'm anticipating that's going to work is you have all these different damage types, but all these different counter types and each type of damage has a counter."},{"start":"00:53:48","end":"00:53:51","text":"And so you do something like it just to simplify."},{"start":"00:53:51","end":"00:54:00","text":"You know, gray goo has a certain damage amount and then the healing nanobots is the counter to gray goo."},{"start":"00:54:00","end":"00:54:09","text":"So if you have counter measure of healing nanobots and some of us are shooting some gray goo at you, then you're blocking it just probably just one to one."},{"start":"00:54:09","end":"00:54:14","text":"And then any remainder."},{"start":"00:54:14","end":"00:54:19","text":"And then your whole points something like that just to understand basics of combat."},{"start":"00:54:19","end":"00:54:23","text":"So there's a lot more opportunity for us to."},{"start":"00:54:23","end":"00:54:28","text":"You know, you know, you know, you know, just keep going."},{"start":"00:54:28","end":"00:54:31","text":"And make it a more interesting."},{"start":"00:54:31","end":"00:54:35","text":"Combat battlefield basically."},{"start":"00:54:35","end":"00:54:40","text":"I want to do like, you know, gray goo heavy."},{"start":"00:54:40","end":"00:54:44","text":"Configure something where you just like slot in all the gray goo weapons."},{"start":"00:54:44","end":"00:54:47","text":"And then you just want to do that."},{"start":"00:54:47","end":"00:54:52","text":"Or if you want to just, you know, now you're in you have this expanded safe zone region."},{"start":"00:54:52","end":"00:54:56","text":"So you just want to focus purely on mining and you have no."},{"start":"00:54:56","end":"00:54:57","text":"Just."},{"start":"00:54:57","end":"00:55:01","text":"Here's the mining that just like maximizes everything for."},{"start":"00:55:01","end":"00:55:08","text":"And then you go and you you create that configuration and then you get all these parts and you slot them in and boom."},{"start":"00:55:08","end":"00:55:12","text":"Now you're activating all these different configurations and just for fun."},{"start":"00:55:12","end":"00:55:15","text":"Let's suck it there."},{"start":"00:55:15","end":"00:55:20","text":"I loaded all ships and now it's lagging."},{"start":"00:55:20","end":"00:55:23","text":"Let me remove them."},{"start":"00:55:23","end":"00:55:30","text":"Then if people are asking what happens with components if a ship is destroyed."},{"start":"00:55:30","end":"00:55:33","text":"Okay."},{"start":"00:55:33","end":"00:55:38","text":"So I just wanted to show this is this is just funny."},{"start":"00:55:38","end":"00:55:43","text":"You can see the difference in weapon counts."},{"start":"00:55:43","end":"00:55:47","text":"And types of weapons and countermeasures when you go all the way up to Titan."},{"start":"00:55:47","end":"00:55:56","text":"Anyway, so that's the fun part about all this crafting and and components is permanent loss."},{"start":"00:55:56","end":"00:55:57","text":"Oh, not permanent."},{"start":"00:55:57","end":"00:56:04","text":"Actually, some of it will be dropped as lute, but you lose it."},{"start":"00:56:04","end":"00:56:07","text":"Yeah, so you're you're good at respond without any of this."},{"start":"00:56:07","end":"00:56:15","text":"You take with the configs and it sounds like a lot of of it sounds like a lot of pain, but."},{"start":"00:56:15","end":"00:56:20","text":"You'll quickly realize how beneficial it is to have these slide it and upgraded."},{"start":"00:56:20","end":"00:56:22","text":"So you're going to want to do it."},{"start":"00:56:22","end":"00:56:25","text":"Despite the risk of losing it."},{"start":"00:56:25","end":"00:56:28","text":"Can I can I just jump in here for one second?"},{"start":"00:56:28","end":"00:56:33","text":"I don't want to steal thunder, but man, I do want to emphasize the."},{"start":"00:56:33","end":"00:56:37","text":"I want to make implications of this new system."},{"start":"00:56:37","end":"00:56:44","text":"All of these components are going to have recipes and they will be purely craftable by players."},{"start":"00:56:44","end":"00:56:46","text":"So we do have the ship parts bundles."},{"start":"00:56:46","end":"00:56:53","text":"There's going to be a process to convert those into raw resources which go into crafting these components."},{"start":"00:56:53","end":"00:57:00","text":"But ultimately, this is such a massive enhancement to the way that the player economy is going to work."},{"start":"00:57:00","end":"00:57:07","text":"It's very conceivable that an individual player is not able to craft all of these underlying components that they want to equip on their assets."},{"start":"00:57:07","end":"00:57:17","text":"And then on top of this, when the war machine is rolling and you have combat and you have, you know, faction conflict, all of these components are just getting."},{"start":"00:57:17","end":"00:57:23","text":"Regularly destroyed and there will be a requirement to rebuild, reconstruct those and."},{"start":"00:57:23","end":"00:57:32","text":"And I'm just thinking about the way that that is going to enhance trade and drive peer-to-peer trade and revenue opportunities for players."},{"start":"00:57:32","end":"00:57:43","text":"Absolutely massive as a sink and also as a new way for players to participate in the economy and pick up some revenue by servicing those that require these components."},{"start":"00:57:43","end":"00:57:56","text":"I also just want to take one moment here, Danny and perhaps pull Brett in to talk a little bit about how the ship configuration system is going to work."},{"start":"00:57:56","end":"00:58:01","text":"Because it's not, it's not necessarily full customizability right now."},{"start":"00:58:01","end":"00:58:10","text":"There are pre pre fab configurations that people can target and they will have to craft all of the underlying components."},{"start":"00:58:10","end":"00:58:19","text":"And then Brett, maybe you can jump in here once you craft the components, you essentially form a new asset with all of the components applied."},{"start":"00:58:19","end":"00:58:21","text":"Can you expand on that?"},{"start":"00:58:21","end":"00:58:23","text":"Yeah, so."},{"start":"00:58:23","end":"00:58:30","text":"As Michael was saying here, it's a bit complicated to do where you have every ship can be configured infinitely right."},{"start":"00:58:30","end":"00:58:36","text":"That's eventually what's going to be happening, but to get C4 in a reasonable amount of time so that you guys can actually play it."},{"start":"00:58:36","end":"00:58:42","text":"It's going to be just the preset configs where we're targeting about like 15 to 20 configs per ship."},{"start":"00:58:42","end":"00:58:48","text":"So as Danny was shown here, like you have to hear one through five, he's wanting to do some of the more specialist configs as well."},{"start":"00:58:48","end":"00:58:54","text":"So you could do, there could be configs like mining config for a ship that takes off the weapons puts on drills or something like that, right."},{"start":"00:58:54","end":"00:59:03","text":"So there's going to be a bunch of pre second things and we can add more over time if there's a lot of demand for certain ones or if saunty wants to do some fun things."},{"start":"00:59:03","end":"00:59:15","text":"So the that those presets basically what will happen is we're not going to have like the configured ship as a token that makes the that blows up the marketplace like crazy."},{"start":"00:59:15","end":"00:59:24","text":"And we don't have that kind of NFT style right now would be an individual token per and you basically have a separate market for each of 20 different ships like 20 Xing our ship market is."},{"start":"00:59:24","end":"00:59:28","text":"That would reduce the liquidity for too much so what we're looking at here is that."},{"start":"00:59:28","end":"00:59:37","text":"You still have the base ship token when you add a ship to a fleet you pick which config you want to add to that fleet and it takes a certain amount of tokens depending on what you do."},{"start":"00:59:37","end":"00:59:42","text":"So let's say you have an X4 that takes four guns and takes more stuff to but."},{"start":"00:59:42","end":"00:59:44","text":"And you pick the configuration that has four guns on it."},{"start":"00:59:44","end":"00:59:52","text":"You need to have those four guns in your in your star base when you had it to the fleet and then it's added to the fleet in that configuration and each configuration is completely separate stats they can."},{"start":"00:59:52","end":"01:00:01","text":"Had full they have full control on Danny side of what each config does from every single value that a ship can have right."},{"start":"01:00:01","end":"01:00:15","text":"So when the at the moment you put your ship into the fleet that's when you decide what config it is when it comes out of the fleet it comes out when you disband the fleet it comes out with the ship and the tokens that form that ship."},{"start":"01:00:15","end":"01:00:21","text":"Should the fleet die from self destruct or from a hospital action."},{"start":"01:00:21","end":"01:00:33","text":"Then that the components will be burned and your fleet and your ships will respond back at the CSS so fleets no longer respond ships respond right also on the bundles."},{"start":"01:00:33","end":"01:00:41","text":"The probably what's going to happen here is that the bundles are going to result in multiple sets of components since they are a bit more usable now."},{"start":"01:00:41","end":"01:00:47","text":"So kind of keep in line with how we communicate the bundles as this is enough components to out for your ship right."},{"start":"01:00:47","end":"01:00:59","text":"So as a result in multiple multiple there or higher level than but we'll we'll make that correct with how we communicate it when we originally want to ship bundles."},{"start":"01:01:00","end":"01:01:18","text":"I'll mention one additional consequence here of this extensive ship configuration is particularly given we have these atomic combat systems one of the concerns early on was that you know big player big fleet can just easily destroy small fleet."},{"start":"01:01:18","end":"01:01:45","text":"This this configurability actually does make combat more dynamic and it does make it feasible that if a player strategically configures a smaller fleet and perhaps focuses on combat a combat configuration versus a player that has a larger or higher VWAP fleet but is misconfigured for combat or defense that that smaller player can actually win this engagement."},{"start":"01:01:45","end":"01:01:54","text":"So it kind of evens the playing field to some extent in in this mode."},{"start":"01:01:54","end":"01:02:04","text":"Yeah and there's also an element of randomness in here so when when that combat's happening there will be some random roles that occur so it's not always I know I'm going to win like there."},{"start":"01:02:04","end":"01:02:18","text":"There's some random chance that they get a critical hit blow you up or you get a critical hit blow them up or you have many ships attacking them and there's a lot more strategy involved and just is my stab lot bigger."},{"start":"01:02:18","end":"01:02:41","text":"So yeah I think we saw there but it was like 3,900 components or ish is what they currently have so all of those are going to be craftable all of those are new tokens basically in the game and are going to take various resources across everything so there's going to be some markets for that and building up all of those things."},{"start":"01:02:42","end":"01:03:10","text":"Yeah and then the next step from here for me like I said this was the editor to get all the stats together and now I can export this out as another JSON that goes into the combat simulator so without the editing capabilities and as much of editing capabilities that I can pit them against each other and see if it's balanced and you know."},{"start":"01:03:10","end":"01:03:21","text":"Yeah you can see the steps as they're leading to this big thing here so cool."},{"start":"01:03:22","end":"01:03:38","text":"Also want to be clear that the combat numbers are like the combat damage types and all those numbers those are the biggest influx items like we can do since we're doing a atomic combat we can make it very complicated inside of that atomic equation like we can do a lot of different math as long as it's all solvable instantly."},{"start":"01:03:38","end":"01:03:44","text":"So there can be a number of changes that we can do very easily in there so."},{"start":"01:03:45","end":"01:04:07","text":"And I saw Chris make a comment in the chat by the way and we all know Chris is the most evil economist on the planet but does some really incredible work for us and there is a heavy waiting in LP loyalty points which will still be a factor in in the daily epoch."},{"start":"01:04:08","end":"01:04:34","text":"Emissions of Atlas out the players but combat systems will be heavily waited in LP further encouraging those engagements and also there's it's less rewarding to go attack smaller fleets than it is for a smaller fleet to destroy a larger fleet so trying to maintain some balance there and avoid some some griefing to the extent that that's possible with the blockade and region system."},{"start":"01:04:38","end":"01:04:44","text":"Right I think we could talk about attacking the starbase."},{"start":"01:04:44","end":"01:05:07","text":"Yeah so fleets attack fleets that's kind of a given here but the next big thing is attacking a starbase right so that's actual territory conquest basically it's what it is is you just choose the starbase as another target it pulls up a different equation because star bases are not the same as ships right like bombers may have higher damage against starbase."},{"start":"01:05:08","end":"01:05:13","text":"All that sort of thing all goes into the combat equation that Danny's designing here."},{"start":"01:05:13","end":"01:05:37","text":"But star bases are basically just giant stat blocks is the idea here what happens is when you blow up say a tear for starbase everybody's attacking that the health gets down to zero the starbase becomes tier three right so it's kind of think of it as a segment at health bar so you knock it to your four down to three to three down to two to your two to one and then one goes to zero."},{"start":"01:05:37","end":"01:05:57","text":"To your zero if you if you blow up a starbase and it becomes tier zero after the attack you conquer it basically so it becomes your starbase your ships can dock there you can do upgrades on it you can do everything a starbase can do everything that's at least available at that level of starbase in that system so like local markets may not be available until certain starbase level."},{"start":"01:05:58","end":"01:06:14","text":"So that's really the like that that's the main territory control aspect the system itself is not owned until you upgrade that to level one so you do have to get it upgraded right if you blow up a tier zero it becomes a tier zero of yours."},{"start":"01:06:15","end":"01:06:25","text":"Yeah I think that's that's the main things to have to do with there so there's a lot of strategy involved of do you attack the starbase and while the other ships are attacking you do you like come in and try to strike it real quick."},{"start":"01:06:25","end":"01:06:54","text":"Doing all those sorts of actions the other part about this is repair ships so repair ships can target ships or star bases and they choose to say but that's basically what you do to repair you can pay toolkits to repair a ship in space or repair starbase it adds to basically a pending pool so if you've ever played I think it's the devil is a good example here where you take a potion it says okay your health's going to go up to here but you heal at a rate the same thing happens with the starbase and the starbase and the starbase is the same thing."},{"start":"01:06:55","end":"01:07:04","text":"So you it's not like an instant repair that you can just like dump a ton of repair on it has to repair over time but it has a repair value that's going to go up to."},{"start":"01:07:06","end":"01:07:12","text":"So you can out damage a starbase is possible repairs if you have enough ships right or out damage of lead as well."},{"start":"01:07:15","end":"01:07:23","text":"Another cool part about this if someone if the if another faction is upgrading from tier zero to tier one and you blow up the tier zero you get a portion of that upgrade."},{"start":"01:07:23","end":"01:07:33","text":"So if they're like 99% you blow them up you might get 80 you you you conquer it and you have 80% upgrade progress so it comes a lot cheaper for you."},{"start":"01:07:36","end":"01:07:47","text":"Anything else here did you mention what happens when a when a starbase is basically when it changes hands to the resources that are in there."},{"start":"01:07:47","end":"01:08:05","text":"Oh yeah when the starbase changes hands any resources that are within that starbase are burnt so local markets crafting any any storage all that's burnt so I'm really looking forward to see the local market prices as a starbase is about to blow up."},{"start":"01:08:07","end":"01:08:14","text":"So see those ships that come in to try to get the super cheap prices and get out before they get blown up themselves right that's going to be super cool to watch."},{"start":"01:08:14","end":"01:08:38","text":"So yeah protect your starbase is not just for the resources on I'm realizing here in our agenda we don't actually have any coverage specifically of the implication of starbase tiers and the features that that unlocks and the benefits that a faction receives for having a leveled up starbase."},{"start":"01:08:38","end":"01:09:01","text":"I might also take an opportunity just to confirm here that any of the starbase upgrades that exist in starbase within those regions now the map is expanding as you guys have seen but for any of those starbase upgrades that have taken place in starbase those will persist through into C4 so you will actually receive those benefits."},{"start":"01:09:01","end":"01:09:11","text":"So I think that's the benefit of the benefits bread or Danny can one of you guys maybe speak to just some of the benefits that you get by having a leveled up starbase."},{"start":"01:09:11","end":"01:09:14","text":"Yeah so one of the things."},{"start":"01:09:14","end":"01:09:30","text":"Brett just quick I have one of the things I wanted to mention there is part of the owning a region is owning all the core systems and I was actually talking with fun cracker just a little bit ago but about the amount of systems."},{"start":"01:09:30","end":"01:09:54","text":"I think I would like to come back to what the system is blowing insanely what we're talking about and this isn't totally fine but I think everyone's kind of aligned with this is even within a region there's there's a few core systems but we want to make one which I'm just calling a king system right now and that's where the local market."},{"start":"01:09:54","end":"01:10:04","text":"And we're going to test it to see if that works, but the point is to not dilute to every single system and every starbase has its own local market."},{"start":"01:10:04","end":"01:10:12","text":"So you still want to like, you know, stay within close contact with that one king system that is also a core system."},{"start":"01:10:12","end":"01:10:20","text":"And that's the one I'm thinking will also trans for over from current star bases and then you own that one."},{"start":"01:10:20","end":"01:10:25","text":"Of course, there's more regions per faction."},{"start":"01:10:25","end":"01:10:34","text":"So there's new totally neutral ones, but the ones that currently are there trans for over and you'll get the king system with the local market."},{"start":"01:10:34","end":"01:10:37","text":"So that's all I want to say."},{"start":"01:10:37","end":"01:10:43","text":"Yeah, and this is all dynamic as well. It's going to be very easy for us to say we have an increase in number of players."},{"start":"01:10:43","end":"01:10:46","text":"We need more local markets because we're not too worried about liquidity anymore."},{"start":"01:10:46","end":"01:10:53","text":"We can create we can add more local market systems, right? We can we can change a lot of this on the fly as well."},{"start":"01:10:53","end":"01:11:00","text":"So on the on the benefits of grading starbase, there's LP benefits. I think Chris is still having those numbers out."},{"start":"01:11:00","end":"01:11:05","text":"I don't want to step on him there because it's not finalized."},{"start":"01:11:05","end":"01:11:19","text":"But you do unlock the the local markets and you also unlock either a referring fee on the on the warplanes."},{"start":"01:11:19","end":"01:11:23","text":"So if you leave from a higher level star base, it's less expensive."},{"start":"01:11:23","end":"01:11:33","text":"And then you also get more claim stake and crafting have plots as the star base levels up and unlocking even more tiers as well."},{"start":"01:11:33","end":"01:11:38","text":"I believe Danny you had a few of those that were like zero until they get a certain level."},{"start":"01:11:38","end":"01:11:48","text":"So it's quite a bit that you get by upgrading a star base."},{"start":"01:11:48","end":"01:11:57","text":"I think this is all that you had that you were going to add and then we can transition to next see."},{"start":"01:11:57","end":"01:12:01","text":"You also get the higher stat block, right? So as you upgrade the star base, you get."},{"start":"01:12:01","end":"01:12:06","text":"Okay, I've leveled from level three to level four. Now you get the higher stat block. It's more defended, right?"},{"start":"01:12:06","end":"01:12:13","text":"It takes much harder to crack larger surveys."},{"start":"01:12:13","end":"01:12:24","text":"Cool. I think it's a good transition into we're only at the first sea of C4 by the way, but we can go to claim stakes now and how that's going to work."},{"start":"01:12:27","end":"01:12:31","text":"Yeah."},{"start":"01:12:31","end":"01:12:46","text":"Yeah, next tool is is claim stakes and this one was done by Joseph. It's not fully done, but you can definitely see a lot of how it works."},{"start":"01:12:46","end":"01:12:59","text":"And like like I was saying, you know, you own the star base. Now you're unlocking plots across that system plots, crust, the whole region, I guess."},{"start":"01:12:59","end":"01:13:03","text":"Yeah, no, no, the service system. Yeah."},{"start":"01:13:03","end":"01:13:10","text":"It's it's within the system and then you still have to own the region though to even start that."},{"start":"01:13:10","end":"01:13:25","text":"So, so yeah, this is kind of what it's going to be like. You have all these different planets and these different claim, well, claim stakes that, you know, unlock different things on different planets."},{"start":"01:13:25","end":"01:13:41","text":"And you can see like what resources are available and like slots and and tier and all that and the types of buildings that can be built on that particular claim stake."},{"start":"01:13:41","end":"01:13:49","text":"So the simulator actually lets you play through it. So you purchase that claim stake and then it starts producing."},{"start":"01:13:49","end":"01:14:00","text":"Again, we're still refining all these numbers and resources that are actually being extracted during this process."},{"start":"01:14:00","end":"01:14:08","text":"But nice to have a simulator where you can go in and and build these out currently."},{"start":"01:14:08","end":"01:14:16","text":"I wanted to build this. It would cost 50 steel and 25 electronics, but I don't have that."},{"start":"01:14:16","end":"01:14:26","text":"And that's what the, you know, we have the feature that you just like give yourself that so you can build it, but it's not currently in right now."},{"start":"01:14:26","end":"01:14:35","text":"So you just kind of take a look at like what it produces, what it consumes and then what it would cost to build and the different upgrades as well."},{"start":"01:14:35","end":"01:14:46","text":"So there are a ton of buildings and a ton of things that can be crafted."},{"start":"01:14:46","end":"01:14:54","text":"And the biggest thing with claim stakes is the auto crafting. So as long as you're in a safe region, you can basically set it and forget it."},{"start":"01:14:54","end":"01:14:58","text":"At a certain point becomes sustainable."},{"start":"01:14:58","end":"01:15:08","text":"But yeah, you're going to want to keep these safe because pretty just destructive if you lose that starbase."},{"start":"01:15:08","end":"01:15:21","text":"Yeah, that's just kind of a quick overview. As you can see, the different things that would be producing for this particular claim stake."},{"start":"01:15:21","end":"01:15:32","text":"And then just kind of, you know, in the, at some point we do want to make this available so people can theory craft all the different things you can do."},{"start":"01:15:32","end":"01:15:41","text":"But we want to get everything nailed down. So there's a lot of craft recipes that are still in progress."},{"start":"01:15:41","end":"01:15:48","text":"So it's not ready to send out yet. Unfortunately, anything else you want to go over?"},{"start":"01:15:48","end":"01:16:10","text":"Probably worth mentioning here. And Chris, you're out there in the audience. If you feel free to jump up on stage, if you'd like to comment on any of these, any of the economic design elements, but worth noting that if a starbase in region is captured, any of the claim stakes within that region are effectively destroyed as well."},{"start":"01:16:10","end":"01:16:23","text":"Now all of the buildings and structures that you place on the claim stake will be destroyed. The claim stakes themselves will be returned to Brett, maybe correct me if I'm wrong here, but go back to the CSS."},{"start":"01:16:23","end":"01:16:31","text":"So you do not lose your claim stake, but any of the effort and resources that you put into constructing that claim stake will be destroyed."},{"start":"01:16:31","end":"01:16:33","text":"Yes, that's correct."},{"start":"01:16:33","end":"01:16:47","text":"So even more reason to protect regions and protect star bases because it's very likely that you have logistical operations established using claim stakes."},{"start":"01:16:47","end":"01:16:52","text":"And if that region is gone, that whole operation is gone as well."},{"start":"01:16:52","end":"01:17:05","text":"There's also ways you can lose even on a down level because basically each planet has a table of starbase level versus claim stake tier, have how many slots are available and assuming increase, right."},{"start":"01:17:05","end":"01:17:15","text":"So a tier one has 100 and a tier two has 200. If you are the number 102 and you're not too to, I'm sorry, a level two starbase has 200."},{"start":"01:17:15","end":"01:17:25","text":"So if you're number 102 and the starbase goes from level two to level one, then your claim stake is lost and that will return to the local starbase."},{"start":"01:17:25","end":"01:17:30","text":"It's it'll respond at the CSS if it's completely lost."},{"start":"01:17:30","end":"01:17:44","text":"Yeah, thank you. And then so on top of that, there are now the claim stakes also give you an option to Danny. I might have missed it if you covered this, but it's not only extracting resources, but you can have structures that auto craft various outputs."},{"start":"01:17:44","end":"01:18:01","text":"Not everything you will still need to go to star bases to craft certain components, but yeah, you'll have automation of crafting now with that crafting you don't have to pay crafting fees because you own the claim stake itself."},{"start":"01:18:01","end":"01:18:13","text":"You're not using the star base facility. So therefore you avoid that 7% fee. However, your claim stakes are subject to varying degrees of rent that you'll have to pay periodically."},{"start":"01:18:13","end":"01:18:24","text":"The rent is a function of the tier of the claim stake itself, as well as the tier of the star base that it's operating within anything you want to add to that."},{"start":"01:18:24","end":"01:18:36","text":"Yeah, I could start going down my list of all mechanics here as well. Jumping on me, but no, I'm just so excited."},{"start":"01:18:36","end":"01:18:44","text":"Yeah, so the like I'll just kind of go down this list here, but the claim stakes you put them on planets, right? So claim stakes go on planets."},{"start":"01:18:44","end":"01:18:56","text":"They're player own extraction and production facilities. So they there's a bunch of different mining drills that can mine resources from the planets running on planets richness, right? So planet as we saw earlier could have like Krypton or Rokin Hall."},{"start":"01:18:57","end":"01:19:10","text":"Richness and you build an extractor on that it'll get multiplied by that richness basically. So at 15 per second at Danny's showing there that the planet has two richness that would get 30 per second, for example, or if it has point five richness, it would have some point five per second."},{"start":"01:19:10","end":"01:19:20","text":"So and then you have production, which there's kind of two different outputs. There's an extractive output and then just normal output. So if you have like a farm that would have normal output of food or something like that."},{"start":"01:19:21","end":"01:19:25","text":"And then you can also have a negative input where like a power generator maybe needs to take fuel or something."},{"start":"01:19:26","end":"01:19:37","text":"So you're you kind of build up this balancing of all of your different stats. Anything that you're negative on, you need to supply the claim stake with by sending your ships down to supply things too. So like if you're"},{"start":"01:19:37","end":"01:19:50","text":"if you need to take fuel to power it, then you need to supply some fuel or there where he has consumes it takes 10 electromagnets and you're not locally producing those, then you need to deliver those to the claim stake, right, to keep functioning."},{"start":"01:19:51","end":"01:19:55","text":"So there's there's a ton of different resources in and outputs there."},{"start":"01:19:56","end":"01:20:06","text":"So there's a bunch of different stats as well that are not just resources. So there's power. You need to have certain buildings consume power, start building produce power."},{"start":"01:20:06","end":"01:20:16","text":"You need to stay positive or zero power, right, net neutral. So either building like solar farms or power generators or whatever else that take up a certain number of slots on the claims."},{"start":"01:20:17","end":"01:20:21","text":"The buildings take slots and you're depending on the size of your claim stake. You only have so many building slots, right."},{"start":"01:20:22","end":"01:20:28","text":"So like a solar panel may produce some power for free, but it takes more space than a gas generator or something like that."},{"start":"01:20:28","end":"01:20:43","text":"Then there's also crew number. So like your crew need places to live. So you got to build barracks, but also some things then take crew or maybe there's a low crew variant of a building that is a little less efficient, but takes no crew."},{"start":"01:20:44","end":"01:20:56","text":"Like there's a whole bunch of different trade-offs you're able to take in here. And there to be clear, I'm not saying what we're going to be launching with that's more dandy side of like what the designs are, but these are all things that can be done and can be added later as well."},{"start":"01:20:56","end":"01:21:04","text":"So the other part, so when you place your claim stake, you basically you put your claim stake, you claim that spot."},{"start":"01:21:05","end":"01:21:11","text":"And that that's like the initial point you have no buildings on it. It's not really doing anything. Then you go into the design phase where you can design."},{"start":"01:21:12","end":"01:21:19","text":"Add in buildings, track buildings, all of that and you can redesign it anytime. It takes some time for it to construct before it starts producing depending on how many changes you're making."},{"start":"01:21:19","end":"01:21:28","text":"But you can swap in buildings, swap out trade out for things, add more storage so it can store more before it has to be picked up or delivered. Right."},{"start":"01:21:29","end":"01:21:42","text":"There's a ton of different options you have there. It's meant to be like something you could spend a lot of time on designing out the perfect claim stake for all these things, especially on the tier five. So like there's going to be a ton of building slots on those that you're going to be."},{"start":"01:21:42","end":"01:21:50","text":"There's a ton of different ways you can design these out and suddenly we release any release that has more buildings and now you got to redo all that work. It's going to be great."},{"start":"01:21:52","end":"01:22:10","text":"Brett, can I can I just interrupt you for one second. I actually saw a comment from sauntie and I do think it's pretty important because there might be some impulse behavior taking place. We're going to mention this at the end of claim stakes, but there was a question on whether or not there that you can craft claim stakes. No, you will not be able to craft claim stakes."},{"start":"01:22:10","end":"01:22:23","text":"We're also not going to allow you to upgrade the tier of a claim stake. Of course, you can select the various tiers of buildings and structures that you place on there, but they will be confined to the amount of slots available."},{"start":"01:22:23","end":"01:22:36","text":"But I just want to mention here we are going to list and sell another tranche of claim stakes as we approach the release of C4 more on that release strategy later."},{"start":"01:22:36","end":"01:22:46","text":"But the recommendation is not to go out and purchase claim stakes at a premium right now because we will be introducing more inventory later."},{"start":"01:22:46","end":"01:22:56","text":"So that's a fair warning. Again, don't go purchase above origination price. We'll have another sale at some point in the not too distant future. Back to you."},{"start":"01:22:56","end":"01:23:09","text":"Yeah, so what do you do with all the resources and all the assumptions as I said your fleets have together. They fleets are going to basically be nursing these claim stakes to deliver and take resources back."},{"start":"01:23:09","end":"01:23:18","text":"And as these fleets are delivering things if you're not in a safe zone, you can be blown up. Right. So there's cargo ships that are picking up and delivering from claim stakes. You can blow them up."},{"start":"01:23:18","end":"01:23:31","text":"Attack wise though, you can't directly attack a claim stake. The real way to attack a claim stake is down leveling the starbase and that will kick the claim stake out. Right. So yeah, then."},{"start":"01:23:31","end":"01:23:39","text":"So the other part to talk about here is rent. So by having your claim stake on the planet, you will be having to pay rent to the doubt."},{"start":"01:23:39","end":"01:23:51","text":"The rent is based on as Michael was saying, the tier and of the claim stake and the level of the starbase each each planet has a different rent value like based on that table each planet can have a unique table."},{"start":"01:23:51","end":"01:23:58","text":"So you have to look at the specific planets and evaluate for yourself with the best place to put your claim stake is."},{"start":"01:23:59","end":"01:24:15","text":"If you run out, if you run out of rent, basically you're kind of supplying a bank of rent. If you run out of rent, you have a grace period, haven't decided how long that is yet, but there will be a grace period where your claim stake is not producing or act actively working, but you still hold the slot and you're not immediately evicted."},{"start":"01:24:15","end":"01:24:16","text":"Right."},{"start":"01:24:16","end":"01:24:30","text":"But if you have not played your a paid you were rent by the time the claim stake, but if you haven't paid your rent by the time your grace periods over, you can be evicted by someone else trying to take your spot."},{"start":"01:24:30","end":"01:24:37","text":"So the planets do have limited spots, right. So get a pay for your spot."},{"start":"01:24:37","end":"01:24:44","text":"I think that's all the major things on claim stakes for the other major questions on to that I missed."},{"start":"01:24:44","end":"01:25:00","text":"I think you covered pretty much everything, Brett. There's a lot just so people know next week at the brew on Wednesday, we will we'll have you Brett and formally inviting you to the stage."},{"start":"01:25:00","end":"01:25:08","text":"So we will cover C4 at that brew. And honestly, I think Bob just had me. Yeah, we'll need a couple of Bruce just to go over everything."},{"start":"01:25:08","end":"01:25:15","text":"But don't worry, like we will have team members joining the Bruce and replying to questions from you guys."},{"start":"01:25:15","end":"01:25:19","text":"I did see one about ship mining ship mining is still a thing. There are asteroids."},{"start":"01:25:19","end":"01:25:28","text":"This is another way to mine. I think I believe that the design is calling for like ship mine to be reduced quite a bit. Fighters now have other things to do besides mining."},{"start":"01:25:28","end":"01:25:37","text":"So there there is still asteroids out there. The other thing now is that you can mine asteroids at hostile areas if you can access them."},{"start":"01:25:37","end":"01:25:44","text":"That's up to you. You can take that risk. So."},{"start":"01:25:44","end":"01:25:55","text":"All right, we're at the second C now, so we can keep moving, Brett. If you want, we can get on crafting halves now."},{"start":"01:25:55","end":"01:26:03","text":"Crafting halves are very similar to claim stakes. They have a very similar building system, very similar rent system."},{"start":"01:26:03","end":"01:26:10","text":"They're just on a star based level. So you build crafting halves on star bases instead of on planets, like you do with claim stakes."},{"start":"01:26:10","end":"01:26:17","text":"And instead of extracting, they have crafting effects that allow you that adjust your crafting capabilities."},{"start":"01:26:17","end":"01:26:24","text":"So it's still the same slot system is just per star base. It's still the same rent system just on star base."},{"start":"01:26:24","end":"01:26:31","text":"And instead of extraction also there's no power because the star base for rights of power, so you don't have to worry about power generation."},{"start":"01:26:31","end":"01:26:39","text":"The main effect of a crafting habit is when you when you go into choose a craft, you can choose a crafting habit to use on that on that craft."},{"start":"01:26:39","end":"01:26:47","text":"So crafting halves can affect things like efficiency crew required new recipes,"},{"start":"01:26:47","end":"01:26:56","text":"fee reductions, things like that. So the real stats that you have to adjust are all of those things as well as capacity for the crafting have."},{"start":"01:26:56","end":"01:27:02","text":"So crafting have can only affect so many jobs at the same time. Right. So if you're crafting, so you need to build more storage."},{"start":"01:27:02","end":"01:27:09","text":"So you get to do that trade off of if you have a big crafting habit, you add more, you can add more storage or add more effects, right."},{"start":"01:27:09","end":"01:27:19","text":"And which one do you want. So you have a big trade off there and some effects may be negative, right. Like they go in both directions. You may take one negative effect and exchange for another effect. Right."},{"start":"01:27:19","end":"01:27:30","text":"It also can unlock new recipes may you may require certain buildings to even build a recipe like there's a special recipe that allows you to turn iron or into copper plates, something like that."},{"start":"01:27:30","end":"01:27:40","text":"If you have to have the alchemist building or something, right. So the recipes can be unlocked by certain, by certain buildings on crafting apps."},{"start":"01:27:40","end":"01:27:51","text":"Other than that, it's very similar to claim stakes. So it's, but it's has much more effect than we're spending time on here by changing up crafting."},{"start":"01:27:51","end":"01:28:01","text":"Crafting itself is like wildly different now with how many recipes there are and how much effects you can get out of just certain crafting facilities."},{"start":"01:28:01","end":"01:28:04","text":"So."},{"start":"01:28:07","end":"01:28:09","text":"Okay."},{"start":"01:28:09","end":"01:28:13","text":"Do we cover everything there? That was a speed run for crafting house."},{"start":"01:28:13","end":"01:28:18","text":"Yeah, they share a lot of stuff. They share a lot of code too, which is also very nice."},{"start":"01:28:18","end":"01:28:28","text":"Nice. Nice. Okay. We're moving. We're moving. And you guys are missing one last see, which is council rank."},{"start":"01:28:28","end":"01:28:32","text":"And we can get on council rank right now."},{"start":"01:28:32","end":"01:28:40","text":"Yeah. So council rank also encompasses research notes. That's what Danny has here of, of a to be to be designed. It's still in the design process."},{"start":"01:28:40","end":"01:28:50","text":"But council rank is kind of now the entire progression system for the game. So we've talked about it before being like for okay, you need certain rank to fly certain chips and all of that sort of thing."},{"start":"01:28:50","end":"01:29:02","text":"It's also applying to basically unlock everything across the game now. So it's you earn certain you are an XP in, in different categories like the have now."},{"start":"01:29:02","end":"01:29:13","text":"There's more categories that are also going to be showing up such as like mining and building. I think mining is already at building and combat or no combat was."},{"start":"01:29:13","end":"01:29:20","text":"I forget there's some other categories that are coming in with it. You also earn renown, which is your overall council rank here."},{"start":"01:29:20","end":"01:29:27","text":"So that and all of these points can be spent to unlock new research notes. So research notes can cost can have dependencies on each other."},{"start":"01:29:27","end":"01:29:40","text":"They can cost resources. They can cost renown or XP to be researched and they can unlock all of these things. So like buildings will be behind research notes ship configs will be behind research notes."},{"start":"01:29:40","end":"01:29:50","text":"Different tiers of claim stay you need to get to certain research node levels ship size can be behind is behind research nodes."},{"start":"01:29:50","end":"01:30:00","text":"How big of a ship you can pilot so piloting skill is behind research nodes. How many fleets you can have on a single account. That's behind a research node."},{"start":"01:30:00","end":"01:30:07","text":"All of these can be unlocked. Do want to cover that we all the XP you are getting."},{"start":"01:30:07","end":"01:30:18","text":"It will you will have access to majority of your stuff if you've been playing for a very long time. So don't worry too much there about starting out."},{"start":"01:30:18","end":"01:30:45","text":"We will Chris specifically and Garrett working through the mapping of XP but I'm glad you brought that up. I think it's important to emphasize people who are OGs who have been playing sage for you know since the beginning or even recently any of the XP that you get now both on the kind of global level as well as on the individual sub license level will carry over."},{"start":"01:30:45","end":"01:30:58","text":"The goal is to structure that in a way so that players who have been actively engaged in pre leveling do get the benefit of that and in most cases should be able to bring most of their assets into the game."},{"start":"01:30:58","end":"01:31:08","text":"We don't want to punish people that have been playing for a long time and prevent them from taking advantage of all the assets they own."},{"start":"01:31:08","end":"01:31:18","text":"And on rentals as well you'll you'll be able to form fleets that you can't fly. The limitation is on whether you can actually use those fleets right so you can still form the fleets and rent them out."},{"start":"01:31:18","end":"01:31:27","text":"So if you want to go by a Titan and you have no no account yet you can still build that Titan into a fleet and rent that out to other people that can fly a type for example."},{"start":"01:31:27","end":"01:31:36","text":"Which is huge which I mean not a such a big audience for us I mentioned it at the beginning but I think the fleet rental system over time given how much demand is there."},{"start":"01:31:36","end":"01:31:44","text":"We could see people come into the ecosystem just to buy a large quantity of game assets with the pure intent of renting it out to other players."},{"start":"01:31:44","end":"01:31:54","text":"This makes sure that they're not restricted from forming fleets within the game just from using them if they don't have the sufficient rank in game to do so."},{"start":"01:31:55","end":"01:31:58","text":"Yeah another big change here."},{"start":"01:31:58","end":"01:32:04","text":"We're introducing new scanning patterns is another thing that can be unlocked through the Council rank system and the research notes."},{"start":"01:32:04","end":"01:32:12","text":"So right now we just we basically have one scanning pattern and it has its own galactic winds map and everything that people have noticed."},{"start":"01:32:12","end":"01:32:16","text":"It has its own like basically loot table right."},{"start":"01:32:16","end":"01:32:21","text":"Oh Danny's leaking even more."},{"start":"01:32:21","end":"01:32:34","text":"But the it has it now we can have more scanning patterns with more with more types of loot that will be unlocked and takes different resources than just toolkits."},{"start":"01:32:34","end":"01:32:36","text":"Yeah food."},{"start":"01:32:36","end":"01:32:38","text":"We changed that so much."},{"start":"01:32:38","end":"01:32:48","text":"But there's going to be more scanning patterns different costs different maps behind them so there may be wildly different areas that you need to scan for certain things so."},{"start":"01:32:48","end":"01:32:51","text":"Scanning is going to become even more interesting."},{"start":"01:32:51","end":"01:32:54","text":"Nice."},{"start":"01:32:54","end":"01:32:55","text":"Nice."},{"start":"01:32:55","end":"01:33:04","text":"Yeah more scanning patterns for scanners that's actually in more loot for the runners as well."},{"start":"01:33:04","end":"01:33:19","text":"And the good news is if you're in a blockaded region which is effectively a safe zone you can still have those passively scanning in that region without fear of loss."},{"start":"01:33:19","end":"01:33:20","text":"True."},{"start":"01:33:20","end":"01:33:26","text":"The risk lower award right."},{"start":"01:33:26","end":"01:33:36","text":"So anything else on council rank anything we missed."},{"start":"01:33:36","end":"01:33:42","text":"Yeah I see one question on the cut yeah different cosmic currents depending on your scanning pattern so there'll be."},{"start":"01:33:42","end":"01:33:47","text":"It's not just one giant cosmic currents there's a bunch of different ones going on."},{"start":"01:33:47","end":"01:33:52","text":"I love it cosmic currents."},{"start":"01:33:52","end":"01:33:56","text":"Anything else Brett before we keep moving."},{"start":"01:33:56","end":"01:34:15","text":"One question on the border regions that I see to the if a region is safe enemy ships cannot enter it you need to take over region but the definition of a safe region is all regions neighboring are also owned by you right so you need to take over one of the region's neighboring it then you can go into that region."},{"start":"01:34:15","end":"01:34:22","text":"So we'll be clear on that."},{"start":"01:34:22","end":"01:34:28","text":"Michael I think we have an announcement to make are we."},{"start":"01:34:28","end":"01:34:57","text":"Big rudging Lee begrudging Lee but by popular demand given all of the changes that have taken place to data runners in star based recently as well as these up and coming features and enhancements to data runners as we get into C4 by popular demand and by request of the community we have decided to launch a sale of data runners so that will consist of both the Rangers and the Ray Femps right now for which we have primary inventory."},{"start":"01:34:57","end":"01:35:17","text":"We're going to be offering a 50% discount for both the limited time and limited quantities so right now data that data runner sale at 50% off will run to the earliest of either Monday of next week will probably dial in a specific time but I assume it'll be something like nine or 10 a.m."},{"start":"01:35:17","end":"01:35:41","text":"PST so that'll run through the weekend effectively the quantities are limited we have 280 Rangers on the market we have 400 Ray Femps that will be eligible for that 50% discount so if you've been holding out wanting to pick up a data runner or two that that discount is applied and live on the marketplace right now."},{"start":"01:35:41","end":"01:36:05","text":"Do we have the link there anyone maybe Dom or official link poster can link it in the chat so people can go check that out right now I think it's live already on the marketplace so yeah no I see someone asking for the card the on the garden is not the data runner this is Ray Femps and Rangers."},{"start":"01:36:06","end":"01:36:11","text":"So you guys can go check that out right now if you want."},{"start":"01:36:13","end":"01:36:14","text":"Okay."},{"start":"01:36:14","end":"01:36:29","text":"Yeah the only other data runner specialized ship is is the visa so pod but the opod right now is well was sold out many many years ago so this is primary market inventory from our team."},{"start":"01:36:29","end":"01:36:44","text":"So yeah sale is live right now limited time limited quantity so link has been posted on the minor on the announcements channel so you can go check that out."},{"start":"01:36:45","end":"01:36:58","text":"Should we keep moving here I think we want to cover a bit of the infrastructure improvements that we're making and then we can get on the c4 rollout approach."},{"start":"01:37:00","end":"01:37:12","text":"Yeah start talking a little bit about more of the back end technical type of stuff going on behind this so starcom has gone through a major rewrite to support c4 so especially with the"},{"start":"01:37:12","end":"01:37:41","text":"basically over 100 Xing of the amount of stuff going on in c4 we really need something that can support that so it's far more scalable now we written it in a different way now where we have basically like a database that kind of stores the current state and we initialize a bunch of servers off of that the servers are live listening to a stream of data that we have in those each of those servers is running a sequel light database internally and we have a lot of data that we have."},{"start":"01:37:41","end":"01:38:08","text":"Database internally so we can actually run some very complicated queries and it also changes our dev workflow from being where like starcom specifies here's all things that a client can request being the client says I want to request these things and we can starcom can effectively serve those requests much more easily so the client code becomes a lot simpler the starcom code just becomes how you need to write these queries the whole thing flows a lot better and it's already a lot."},{"start":"01:38:08","end":"01:38:37","text":"It's a lot easier to work in as we're building at c4 here so it should perform a ton better than the current starcom system there a lot more observability in there a lot more able to observe like able to see like oh this this was missed we can catch that we can compare like each each one of the client facing servers to the like main database and see where the issues are coming between the two so a lot we've had a lot of issues with observability that now we have now we're fixing so we're able to find these issues a lot more easily."},{"start":"01:38:38","end":"01:38:49","text":"It used to be a ton of work to still is a ton of work to trace any of those issues that live yet that's coming still working on that but it's coming with c4."},{"start":"01:38:50","end":"01:39:04","text":"Another big thing we talked about it a bit in like community developers channel but something we call starframe so if you know how programs are developed on slana the general system that's used is something called anchor or it's a library."},{"start":"01:39:04","end":"01:39:20","text":"Anchors great it works well we ended up with writing sage adding about three times as much code on top of anchors library of our own library stuff to get just sage working and so finally got to the point where we need to rewrite it like basically."},{"start":"01:39:20","end":"01:39:33","text":"Tara and anchor make her own thing that works a ton better for the start frame so it allows us to have much more complicated account structures much more complicated data going on we were we were able to get rid of a ton of like."},{"start":"01:39:34","end":"01:39:49","text":"Things that I bet people have noticed like redundant token accounts are done in cargo bots those are just gone now cargo bots are just in the fleet account if you're a developer probably don't want to deal with all of the token accounts that are all over the place and all the cargo bots it's it's a ton of work on our."},{"start":"01:39:50","end":"01:39:53","text":"Client and on our on our dev team to so."},{"start":"01:39:54","end":"01:40:05","text":"Now we're able to reduce all of that a lot of accounts have been merged so there's now just we can have lists of lists inside of accounts and are super fast access though a lot of development has been."},{"start":"01:40:06","end":"01:40:14","text":"Streamline like crazy we were basically able to rewrite sage with reference but able to rewrite all of the things we've done in sage over the past like year."},{"start":"01:40:14","end":"01:40:23","text":"In about a couple weeks right so star frame is a massive speed up for us and it's what's letting us do all of these things and see for that in this short amount of time."},{"start":"01:40:24","end":"01:40:32","text":"There's a lot of a lot of instructions are also heavily simplified due to that like a lot of things have gone from like 14 accounts to four like transferring cargo is no longer like."},{"start":"01:40:32","end":"01:40:41","text":"One of the different accounts just to transfer things reminding is not doesn't need to be split into two transactions were able to do that all in one and like intersections can press a ton more so it's going to be a lot easier."},{"start":"01:40:41","end":"01:40:51","text":"Ideal is also compatible now where it wasn't before like the there was a bunch there's a section missing that made it harder on like developers on slide everything so."},{"start":"01:40:52","end":"01:40:58","text":"We will that the ideal is now actually compatible you're able to read that it's becomes a lot easier to interact with."},{"start":"01:40:59","end":"01:41:06","text":"So another big thing that we've done is we've integrated something called coherent UI into our unreal workflow."},{"start":"01:41:06","end":"01:41:31","text":"And what that is is basically allows us to put web code as as like UI elements in unreal so there's actually quite a lot of UI sharing that is happening now between unreal and web that makes it a lot easier all over all over we can do a we make a lot more progress with a lot less work right so we're able to like right now there's components in unreal that are being pulled into the UI right now that are literally pointing to the same code."},{"start":"01:41:31","end":"01:41:39","text":"So makes it a lot easier on us it's it's very common to in the game industry to have something like that to do your UI and."},{"start":"01:41:40","end":"01:41:43","text":"So some big improvements coming."},{"start":"01:41:44","end":"01:41:47","text":"People are already seeing also better."},{"start":"01:41:48","end":"01:41:52","text":"Success with star comment transactions and everything so."},{"start":"01:41:53","end":"01:41:55","text":"I saw couple guys pointing that out in the chat."},{"start":"01:41:56","end":"01:42:05","text":"Yeah there's still work going on but the large portion of the team is working on these these big changes that are going to be coming out with C4."},{"start":"01:42:07","end":"01:42:10","text":"Nice nice."},{"start":"01:42:10","end":"01:42:18","text":"And we can get on the C4 rollout rollout approach on a bread or Michael who wants to cover it."},{"start":"01:42:19","end":"01:42:23","text":"So the committee can know how this is going to be faced out."},{"start":"01:42:24","end":"01:42:33","text":"Yeah I'm pretty straightforward we've we've touched on this but this is going to roll out initially as a PTR player test range or."},{"start":"01:42:34","end":"01:42:42","text":"We've also used player test realm but it's essentially a beta version of this that's going to be accessible to the community."},{"start":"01:42:43","end":"01:42:51","text":"To play test through without having any of the main net or you know live economic rewards while we go through that testing refinement polish."},{"start":"01:42:52","end":"01:43:01","text":"And gather feedback from players on how it's performing in functionality and any rebalancing requests that might exist in there so it's it's going to start."},{"start":"01:43:02","end":"01:43:11","text":"As a PTR we anticipate a couple of months of testing on that could be quicker could be longer just depends on how the play test goes."},{"start":"01:43:12","end":"01:43:34","text":"And from there it will roll out as a sage we're actually dropping the labs moniker from this once we get to see for we think it's at a state of maturity that we've evolved beyond the labs denotation and just moving direct into sage and that'll be in browser as as you access sage star based today."},{"start":"01:43:35","end":"01:43:53","text":"And then ultimately we'll be working over the course of the year on a full integration and feature parity in fleet command as well so if you prefer to access the sage feature set in a more immersive 3d environment and on relengine 5 you'll be able to do that as well."},{"start":"01:43:54","end":"01:44:07","text":"I think probably worth noting here and more to come on this later we won't share too much but this is going to be launching on our own dedicated network you guys have heard us refer to that is Atlas net."},{"start":"01:44:07","end":"01:44:17","text":"But if there's anything you'd like to expand upon with that list net and how this is going to launch initially as a C4 PTR happy to hear from you now."},{"start":"01:44:18","end":"01:44:37","text":"Yeah we're looking at this as a test where we can do like it's very similar to like the Blizzard concept of like start a deploy it try a whole bunch of different crazy numbers try a bunch of different ways of how things work see what works best see which areas people really like and improve on those areas that sort of thing."},{"start":"01:44:37","end":"01:44:47","text":"So it's meant to be as a big test there's a ton of changes of course I mean I saw a bunch of people worried about sort of changes and like this is why we released this as a PTR so we can try these things out see it."},{"start":"01:44:47","end":"01:44:50","text":"Hey this actually doesn't work when we have a lot of players so."},{"start":"01:44:52","end":"01:44:58","text":"Yeah it'll be fully on Atlas net full it'll be free so completely free for everybody to participate in."},{"start":"01:44:59","end":"01:45:20","text":"I think we probably still need to sort out how we'll be distributing assets to players on Atlas net for C4 PTR most likely just a fixed bundle of game assets I would think but it's possible that we could just replicate whatever assets you have on main net and bring those into this separate network as well."},{"start":"01:45:21","end":"01:45:24","text":"There are longer term."},{"start":"01:45:25","end":"01:45:49","text":"Yeah no worries just quickly here there are some longer term implications for Atlas net we had a discussion about this pretty early in the year but I won't share too much more about that we still have a long town hall ahead of us I'll just say we are already preparing for another big town hall and we'll be talking more about the future of Atlas net in that town hall the next one that's up in the next year."},{"start":"01:45:50","end":"01:46:02","text":"So this is also going to give us a lot of data about the performance of that network itself and how we potentially utilize that going forward."},{"start":"01:46:03","end":"01:46:14","text":"And one question that we're asking is if they are going to need to migrate to a new game ID like it happened before I know if we have the answer already but so it's okay."},{"start":"01:46:14","end":"01:46:25","text":"We're not going to go too into detail on the actual release time as we get closer there we'll talk more about it but right now we're just just talking about the PTR which is free net so."},{"start":"01:46:26","end":"01:46:34","text":"Sounds good and but it absolutely will be a new game ID when we get to see for main that launch."},{"start":"01:46:34","end":"01:46:59","text":"Alright alright I think with that we covered everything see for related I think we will skip the Q&A at this town hall and we'll keep it for tomorrow at the conform and next week at the Atlas brew because we're literally just at one third of the town hall so we have to keep moving but."},{"start":"01:46:59","end":"01:47:04","text":"Brad man thank you so much for joining us on stage. Thanks for having me."},{"start":"01:47:04","end":"01:47:06","text":"It's always a pleasure to have you."},{"start":"01:47:06","end":"01:47:09","text":"A lot of fun. Have a good rest your town hall guys."},{"start":"01:47:09","end":"01:47:21","text":"Yeah thanks Brad incredible work on the engineering side I was going to say the same things Auntie Danny dropped is probably getting late for him but really appreciate him jumping up and sharing insights as well."},{"start":"01:47:22","end":"01:47:33","text":"Yes thank you Danny for joining as well and sharing all the all the dev tools there or the game design tools you guys got a real sneak peek behind the curtains."},{"start":"01:47:33","end":"01:47:47","text":"But Michael we have to keep moving I think this is a good moment for the audience to go grab a glass of water some beer whatever you want some snacks because we still have a star Atlas Stone whole we still

tough act to follow but I think I have some cool stuff to share today so."},{"start":"01:48:28","end":"01:48:43","text":"Yeah yeah nice nice I think people are saying that you sound a bit bad but it may be just I don't know if you're using the right mic but you still you still we can still understand."},{"start":"01:48:45","end":"01:48:47","text":"Let me double check my mic one sec."},{"start":"01:48:47","end":"01:49:16","text":"Yeah Dominic Bain how are you doing friends dude this town all this town was epic it's gonna be like is this the longest town all ever three hours probably going to be three hours for sure the longest town will ever yes my favorite my favorite thing about what was just happening is he said I don't I sound you were like he sound good everyone else was like man he sounds like scratch."},{"start":"01:49:17","end":"01:49:22","text":"It's always if I can understand what people are saying that's good enough for me you

can anyone here chip."},{"start":"01:49:42","end":"01:49:47","text":"We should have to dry ran this all right all cool."},{"start":"01:49:50","end":"01:49:55","text":"Loud and clear chip though we can get home what is coming for you."},{"start":"01:49:59","end":"01:50:02","text":"All right we are we have an over to my segment or any other comments."},{"start":"01:50:02","end":"01:50:07","text":"Yeah I think we can we can get your segment."},{"start":"01:50:07","end":"01:50:30","text":"Yeah just want to briefly mention and we've said it before that we the velocity at which the UE team has been developing has significantly increased this year and we've we've opted for more higher cadence frequent release schedule with the with the caveat that we do take some times and maybe extend the releases out a month or so far there are a lot of things that we can do."},{"start":"01:50:32","end":"01:50:46","text":"We can't just go out just to accommodate chunkier features and what I want to do today is talk about our next major mid your release coming up in the coming months."},{"start":"01:50:46","end":"01:50:56","text":"I want to go through the scope and some something some just updates that we have planned so before I dive into that."},{"start":"01:50:56","end":"01:51:18","text":"The solution that this mid your release is going to be our next major strong push surrounding our multiplayer gameplays or our arena racing before we kind of recalibrate the latter half of the year and and put a lot more depth effort on fleek command so expect another big chunky update as you'll see."},{"start":"01:51:18","end":"01:51:37","text":"I'm polishing and updating arena and multiplayer and dedicated server support and then you'll see the team after this next mid your release start to really focus and show the love towards fleek command because you guys saw what's coming to see for we want to get fleek command caught up as quickly as possible so that's the strategy going into the rest of the year."},{"start":"01:51:37","end":"01:52:00","text":"I just wanted to lay that out there and the other thing I want to mention before we get into it is that what I'm about to talk about for mid your release is all it's all tentative it's all work and progress I don't don't take it all as gospel yet things can change in the next between now and and the release but we thought we might as well show it for you and get your excited so without further do let's hop into it."},{"start":"01:52:00","end":"01:52:29","text":"The first that I think the focus of this next mid your release is progression right now we have some pretty sticky pretty fun game modes we even have grassroots esports tournaments going on people are really enjoying our arena gameplay and but we want to we want to give players a reason to come back and a player and give players a sense of progression and a way to even kind of express the amount of time they put into the game and the way we're going to do that is what we're calling it."},{"start":"01:52:30","end":"01:52:46","text":"We're doing preseason character group rank so don't you go ahead and share your screen and and we have we want to show our current mockups for some of the UI elements that that show this progression."},{"start":"01:52:46","end":"01:52:49","text":"Give me a second to load their loading loading."},{"start":"01:52:56","end":"01:52:59","text":"Oh, Tom time for the joke."},{"start":"01:53:02","end":"01:53:07","text":"Oh he dropped he dropped I think he crashed I think he crashed. No way."},{"start":"01:53:07","end":"01:53:13","text":"Well, while Dom's wrestling with with that I'm just going to go ahead and start outlining what."},{"start":"01:53:13","end":"01:53:31","text":"The first one is the progress in the release so we have this concept of preseason character group rank and what that means is we're splitting up your your crew into character groups by species and gender so."},{"start":"01:53:32","end":"01:53:41","text":"For instance, high puna males or sogmean females or human males all the you will progress."},{"start":"01:53:42","end":"01:53:59","text":"Your character group ranks based on that category and the reason why we're doing that is because until we have the concept of on chain crew like individual crew progression we wanted to wait for you to kept like still we wanted to wait for you to still be able to progress."},{"start":"01:53:59","end":"01:54:19","text":"At the crew level and we didn't want to build out this whole that like server infrastructure that is like off chain that that is like a proxy for crew leveling up so what we're doing is we're using epic online services stats which limits it to like 1000 stats per account."},{"start":"01:54:19","end":"01:54:41","text":"And leveraging that so that you just level up the the human male track or the put not high put not female track as one collective group so if you if you play with a high put not female any of that any any of them that you own they will all XP that's earned while playing with them will go towards that track."},{"start":"01:54:41","end":"01:54:46","text":"So that's the that's the context of what preseason character group rank is there's going to be 20 levels."},{"start":"01:54:48","end":"01:55:05","text":"And you're going to and when you hit level 20 with a character group rank we're going to allow you to prestige it up to 10 times so you'll be able to reset the rank and I keep going and you'll be able to show your your prestige badge flare in game and we have mockup showing you what that looks like but waiting for down to get back in here."},{"start":"01:55:06","end":"01:55:11","text":"Yeah, just so because they are they are already posting crazy pictures on the."},{"start":"01:55:12","end":"01:55:15","text":"So I'm explain."},{"start":"01:55:16","end":"01:55:34","text":"Preseason character group rank 20 levels prestige prestige it up to 10 times you get and the way you're going to get XP is by playing matches on dedicated servers so we're going to allow you to boot up your own lobby go kill your friend a hundred times and get a bunch of XP where you're going to need it."},{"start":"01:55:35","end":"01:55:49","text":"You'll get in an official dedicated server match and kills weapon upgrades and gun game capturing a zone and zones depositing tags and surge all those will have XP events associated with them."},{"start":"01:55:50","end":"01:56:04","text":"And another cool thing is you'll be able to get bonus XP bait from different different avenues so rarity of your of the crew that you're currently playing with will matter and higher rarity will mean just."},{"start":"01:56:05","end":"01:56:20","text":"I mean higher XP rates you will also be able to do daily check ins and as you play consecutive days in a row you will build up a an XP boost streak."},{"start":"01:56:21","end":"01:56:30","text":"And then the season or any other ones and then as you prestige will also get more higher XP rates so so we have some XP boosts that we're planning for."},{"start":"01:56:30","end":"01:56:59","text":"Let's see but then I talked about character group rank now why do you want to why do you want to rank up like what's the point so there's a there's several things first we have this concept of your jet pack slots so you have a jet pack hands slot and a jet pack souls slot and then you have a shield or we're calling a booby slot so jet jet packs in our games are."},{"start":"01:57:00","end":"01:57:29","text":"They're called jetties shields are called boobies so you have a jetty soul slot a jetty palm slot and a booby slot you will be able to unlock different variants of those equipables as you level up a character group rank so as you hit say you hit level 10 and you unlock a new booby and you shield here we go I think we're online now okay we I see it's why I see it's why I'm going to step back and just talk about what you're seeing here so these are our current working progress mockups."},{"start":"01:57:30","end":"01:57:59","text":"You can see if you like at the top if you zoom in on that right there those are the prestige what our current working progress prestige player where we're we're going to use those up a bit and make them a bit popier when you as you get higher up and rank but you can see that you'll be able to showcase your your prestige and then the second number so that 1.10 is a prestige 1 rank 10 and character group rank 2 is prestige 2."},{"start":"01:58:00","end":"01:58:29","text":"10 goes all the way to rank 20 so and then zoom back out and go down a little bit dumb and then as you're as you're navigating through your your crew and your game you could you'll be able to see the the XP boost on the card there based on the rarity as well as so based on the rarity for stage you can see like plus 45% XP there and I think that's all going to show there can you zoom out and see if there's anything else."},{"start":"01:58:29","end":"01:58:57","text":"We want to talk about yeah let's go over to the end of match flow real quick so at the end of a match we also here's mockups on like okay I got a bunch of XP you know here we there's just going to be a really nice and sticky kind of end of match progression flow where you you get some nice animations you see what XP you get you see your progress towards the next group character group rank."},{"start":"01:58:57","end":"01:59:26","text":"So yeah really great job from our UI team there so and then what's neat about this page right here is we are planning for some on chain rewards based on your progression here what we're going to what the current plan is we're going to be setting thresholds for say we're leading towards total number of character group rank for stages and you'll be able to"},{"start":"01:59:26","end":"01:59:55","text":"hit thresholds for getting air dropped to your wallet coupacts we've been thinking about a I don't know if this changed but last I heard we're thinking about a different a different tier of crew pack or different type of crew pack for this for these rewards and we're also planning for a unreal engine specific resource and we're we're calling it internally the nano box."},{"start":"01:59:56","end":"02:00:22","text":"It's not goo but it's that black goo you see around the weapons spawners that's that's its own resource and that resource will be earned exclusively unreal book it will be used in recipes and see for so you can there's going to be some crossovers some economic crossovers between you again play and see for stage economy so that's exciting let's see."},{"start":"02:00:22","end":"02:00:51","text":"Okay so I show this up very exciting yeah i mean you ran over that one quickly but i'm really stoked both on the progression as well as this idea that there is an exotic resource that creates a crossover between gameplay of both stage and and our unrelangent client i think it's super cool it's a way to create the economic integration and again crossover between play i also think that it probably in a lot of ways."},{"start":"02:00:52","end":"02:01:11","text":"Encourages those players who have been engaged in say arena shooter matches earning this exotic resource to maybe purchase some some other ship assets or other you know claim stakes any of the other asset categories we have and start participating in c4 or fleet command maybe even in between matches."},{"start":"02:01:11","end":"02:01:19","text":"To can further enhance their ability to take advantage of that resource that they're earning."},{"start":"02:01:19","end":"02:01:37","text":"100% i mean it implications are huge here and just the cross pollination between you and say just something we haven't seen yet and it's something that is going to be extremely powerful tool for us as we build up content in both so yeah totally agreed."},{"start":"02:01:37","end":"02:01:47","text":"Dom right now is a good time to bring up the table i want to explain what the preseason group rank."},{"start":"02:01:47","end":"02:01:54","text":"Is what what the unlock schedule looks like."},{"start":"02:01:54","end":"02:02:09","text":"Let's do it. I think this will really help kind of solidify this nebulous concept into something more stable so start you so i'll explain it you start at level one right for say your human female track."},{"start":"02:02:09","end":"02:02:20","text":"And you start out we're switching to a loadout system where you have weapons lots so you have four weapons lots and imagine that a pistol takes up one slot a raw auto rifle takes up two slots."},{"start":"02:02:20","end":"02:02:30","text":"As sniper will take up four slots right but you don't have a sniper unlock it so you start out with just having a kinetic pistol in the auto rifle unlocked."},{"start":"02:02:30","end":"02:02:49","text":"And you use up three of those four slots and then at level two you unlock a starter grenade and now you can equip for human females in matches a starting grenade and now you're using all four of your weapons slots and then at level three and before we get to level three you already have default equipment so you have the basic."},{"start":"02:02:49","end":"02:03:09","text":"Jedi souls jedi jedi palms and bubble shield so essentially like what you are used to playing with now consider that default equipment okay and you're ready equipped that and those don't take up slots what what takes up weapon or from six lots are weapons and grenades."},{"start":"02:03:10","end":"02:03:21","text":"But you can only have one jedi soul equipped at any given time or one jedi palm equipped at any given time and i'll show that in game here in a second but level three you unlock a soul jade."},{"start":"02:03:21","end":"02:03:26","text":"We're calling it dasher and imagine that that allows you to."},{"start":"02:03:26","end":"02:03:47","text":"Dash and slide at for lower cost so you can dash and slide more often but maybe it has less less speed for hungry right so we're gonna work we want to do is want to create these variants that are have trade offs where you gain some you lose some we don't want to make it so that."},{"start":"02:03:47","end":"02:03:57","text":"We'll try to make a some that one isn't like dominant or better than the other so you can see just going all the down level 20 you could you continue to unlock weapons for your."},{"start":"02:03:57","end":"02:04:15","text":"Weapons slots you unlock different jetties bubbies and then at level 10 or not level where at level five you unlock two or weapons lots you have six and then at level 10 you have eight total so now you can probably you can equip that."},{"start":"02:04:15","end":"02:04:44","text":"You can equip those heavier weapons at once you have those like weapons slots now if players don't like this or we find that we have tournament rules you know don't mesh well with this we are making it a match setting to turn the system on and off so if we turn the system off players will start out with the default two weapons and there will be weapon pickups in in the arena and you can and it'll essentially play this the way it's."},{"start":"02:04:44","end":"02:05:08","text":"Now but in the context of turning this on will remove the weapon pickups on the map players will have their their starter weapon configs and then you pick up ammo for their weapons so if I have a shotgun in my config I don't start out with just 12 shots from a shotgun i'll have to go pick up the ammo and the ammo will respond on the arena."},{"start":"02:05:08","end":"02:05:21","text":"So we're currently turning this we're play testing it as of this week and it all get exciting because it played well with our current progression system we're laying out here."},{"start":"02:05:21","end":"02:05:37","text":"Okay so I think that's enough on this I hope that paints a better picture on like what it means to progress the character group rank the last thing I'll mention is when you prestige from level 20 get reset the back to level one you keep everything you've you unlocked."},{"start":"02:05:37","end":"02:05:58","text":"But you just reset your your level so you'll still have your sniper rifle unlocked for that group rank and well as we as we add more content new weapons new jetties things like that will add new drops to the prestige levels so maybe you will knock something new at prestige to rank five right."},{"start":"02:05:58","end":"02:06:00","text":"Okay."},{"start":"02:06:00","end":"02:06:03","text":"Chip take a breather for a second yeah go ahead."},{"start":"02:06:03","end":"02:06:20","text":"Yeah I just want to jump in I just want to jump in I'm I'm really really excited about this progression element I've played a bunch of looters shooters I mean division two and we all played destiny to fairly recently I guess it's been a little while now but."},{"start":"02:06:20","end":"02:06:49","text":"You know I think this this new mechanic and feature introduces it's kind of a separate track you from an esports style arena shooter gameplay where everyone is on level footing right and then you have more of the MMO style looter shooter where your progression in game actually contributes to your performance in some way and for a guy like me that needs to get good you know might not"},{"start":"02:06:49","end":"02:07:16","text":"be as good at clicking on heads I love the idea that I can build a loadout based on my progression and even customize my performance and specialize in different facets of gameplay that just that makes it makes me more competitive you know and I know that the time that I put into the game to leveling up is actually contributing to my success in these modes as well super exciting for me really stoked to see this."},{"start":"02:07:16","end":"02:07:45","text":"Yeah and and we're building the foundation for MMO still we're not like deviating extremely far and deciding we are now the next big arena shooter what we're still doing is building out our foundational game systems and with loadouts those will be used in our open world MMO elements but imagine that maybe arenas you you cap out at eight weapons lots but open world as you continue to level up your crew you can get like 30 weapons lots."},{"start":"02:07:46","end":"02:08:12","text":"But that's some that's like broken in an arena but in open world it feels great because you can carry around a lot more weapons right so that that's the direction we're going with and we're just continuing to build these foundational game systems while still creating you know compelling and repeatable and fun game experiences like now right with with the arena shooter so yeah a lot of exciting stuff with with with implementing these systems."},{"start":"02:08:12","end":"02:08:31","text":"Okay I'm going to keep pressing because I still got more to get through so we heard your feedback on on our scoreboards in our matches especially with recent tournaments and just wanted to show you guys that we are took a chance to redesign our scoreboards and this is what they're going to look like now in game."},{"start":"02:08:31","end":"02:09:00","text":"So now when you hold tab in game you'll have a translucent scoreboard overlay and it'll give you much more detailed up to date stats including all of the players on on the team and we're we'll also support an assist now and assist will get you XP so we're adding an assist system and they there you can see reverses blue team you'll see everybody on the same screen instead of stuck at top three players or."},{"start":"02:09:01","end":"02:09:30","text":"Only your team so yeah I think this will be a really welcomed a refinement to our distinct scoreboard system okay I think that's that's good there kudos to the UI team really great job on that okay let's see we talked about the the ammo pickups I think now is yeah the next the next thing I wanted to talk about yeah I want to do a live demo."},{"start":"02:09:31","end":"02:10:00","text":"So let me open up my on religion and I'm going to segue into just something I'm really excited about and some some of our Ventara playtesters could shout out to them they're really excited about they've got to they've been able to play test and sneak peek on one about the show you but what I'm talking about our current arena shooter one of our"},{"start":"02:10:00","end":"02:10:29","text":"one of our unique selling points is our movement right people really love the jetpacking the dashing the freedom that comes with just being able to hover over it right so we're leaning into that a bit more and we added some new

okay"},{"start":"02:10:30","end":"02:10:59","text":"all right so here I am with my crew member my trusty air bite let me just showcase real quick so just to kind of reinforce what I showed earlier

going to give myself the runner souls which I'm pretty sure that gives me faster running speed"},{"start":"02:11:00","end":"02:11:29","text":"thirsty I'll let you guys see your craft on what that one

graduation first thing up point out is well for the I'm like I'm running way faster because I got my runners on check that out I think I'm I don't know I think it's like 20 30% faster but anyways when you release hover now one of one of our polish items is you you get a bit of momentum"},{"start":"02:13:43","end":"02:14:01","text":"there at the end so you keep going upward and it just has a better feel and that's one of our smaller kind of refinements but I think one of our made bigger refinements is around slide and we we just completely rework the the impulse around slide so now it it's"},{"start":"02:14:01","end":"02:14:15","text":"very much faster and and just takes better just is much more fluid and and much more what you expect and the other thing we did was what's"},{"start":"02:14:15","end":"02:14:22","text":"sliding is the knees don't steer as much on the on the slope and you just continue in the direction of motion so like here"},{"start":"02:14:22","end":"02:14:39","text":"you saw that instead of the knees you know starting to steer me down the slope I just continue at an angle so sliding feels a lot better feels a lot more fluid and there there will be"},{"start":"02:14:39","end":"02:14:52","text":"jetty variants that you know enhancer slight in ways but another thing we added is bunny hopping so you can see here now I'm able to keep that momentum"},{"start":"02:14:55","end":"02:15:04","text":"with jumping before you would slow down immediately but now I'm keeping some of my momentum with each bunny hop so it's really fun and then here's this other"},{"start":"02:15:04","end":"02:15:14","text":"interesting thing is I can farm momentum by doing a bunch of slide cancels which is intentional so we anticipate players that are really into the movement they're"},{"start":"02:15:14","end":"02:15:34","text":"going to be playing and having a you know having a time with with with some hands movement

And then there was this blank space in the middle."},{"start":"00:13:28","end":"00:13:36","text":"I didn't feel like going to find something. So I just put this. Um, this is just your average start out with employee after the town hall yesterday."},{"start":"00:13:36","end":"00:13:55","text":"Uh, so, you know, happy, very happy smile, uh, two different size eyes. This is probably Michael Wagner actually, uh, but, you know, who could say I did, I just, I just made it, uh, you know, on a whim. Just trying to see if Michael's in the audience."},{"start":"00:13:55","end":"00:14:10","text":"Yeah, I thought this Chris. Yeah, this is actually the studio jibbly chat you P T output. I know it's pretty impressive. This is my animated. This is what an anime by Chris would look like anyway. Sorry."},{"start":"00:14:10","end":"00:14:19","text":"Uh, okay. So there's actually important stuff on the outside on the outer ring of this presentation. So a lot of stuff happened yesterday in the town hall."},{"start":"00:14:19","end":"00:14:31","text":"Um, so much stuff. I mean, it was three and a half hours. There's so much content covered that we're not going to get to it all today. Um, I want to hit the broad most important strokes, especially from economics perspective."},{"start":"00:14:31","end":"00:14:47","text":"The very first thing, uh, even though you would think we're going to go here, we're going to go over here. There's a data runner sale going on. Remember 50% off on the data runner ships. That is your Opal Ray fam and your Femble BIOS Ranger. Those ships are both 50% off."},{"start":"00:14:47","end":"00:15:00","text":"Uh, so I believe the Ranger is something around a thousand bucks and then the, the Ray fam is something around, I don't know, 400, 375 something like that. So these are extremely powerful ships in the game."},{"start":"00:15:00","end":"00:15:13","text":"Uh, you know, don't, uh, if you have been wanting to get a data runner to improve your S. Do you load out? Please don't forget to go over there and snag one while they're on super steep discount."},{"start":"00:15:13","end":"00:15:31","text":"Um, you'll recall we also had a couple of updates to the game. Uh, main net sage, I should say, where data runners now have, uh, I'm blanking on the actual changes. They now have reduced cooldowns for scanning."},{"start":"00:15:31","end":"00:15:41","text":"They have reduced food consumption. In fact, I believe the food consumption zero. And then we also boosted the number of S. Use that they found. Uh, it's 50% cooldown. Yeah."},{"start":"00:15:41","end":"00:15:53","text":"So a couple of really great, um, kind of game updates to the data runners recently. And we've really seen the labor force for S. Do production shift over to data runnerships, which is kind of cool to see."},{"start":"00:15:53","end":"00:16:05","text":"Uh, okay. So now the really interesting stuff, uh, probably the most exciting thing that I think happened yesterday was the announcement of hollow sim star at was hollow."},{"start":"00:16:05","end":"00:16:21","text":"And the whole idea behind hollow sim is that it is a simulation of the real on chain sage, but free to play. So it's still an on chain version of the sage game. Um, but it's on a copy of the salana blockchain."},{"start":"00:16:21","end":"00:16:33","text":"It's on a side chain. We call that side chain atlas net. It's basically an internal testing chain that we use to test all of our stuff. It's not decentralized, but it is immutable."},{"start":"00:16:33","end":"00:16:45","text":"It is, um, it is, it is, um, uh, you know, uh, publicly readable. It's got all those great features that you like about a blockchain. It just is not fully decentralized."},{"start":"00:16:45","end":"00:17:01","text":"Uh, because again, it's an internal testing platform. So the cool thing about hollow sim is unlike sage. It's not on a primary. It's not on a major blockchain. And so when you do actions on a blockchain, those actions are going to incur a fee."},{"start":"00:17:01","end":"00:17:16","text":"Uh, you know, the, the gas fee and on the atlas net blockchain, you don't actually have to pay that gas fee. So it's completely free to play not just in the sense that you don't have to purchase your ships, but also in the sense that doing stuff doesn't cost you money."},{"start":"00:17:16","end":"00:17:32","text":"Um, this is an extremely powerful retention, um, mechanic. So if you're a long, long time, you know, sage star atlas player, um, you're going to like this because this is going to introduce people who have never been, uh, in the star atlas ecosystem into the star atlas ecosystem."},{"start":"00:17:32","end":"00:17:47","text":"So this is going to be your Southeast Asians who maybe don't have as much income as us, Westerners, um, and you know, maybe this is your people from the road ecosystem who are more familiar with those kind of free to play loops like in pixels."},{"start":"00:17:47","end":"00:18:08","text":"Um, so this really opens up the number of people that we can introduce into the star atlas ecosystem. And that is going to lead to any positive attribution that hollosom can give to the main net product is, is massive because we know that sage players are extremely valuable in terms of the value that they generate in game."},{"start":"00:18:08","end":"00:18:23","text":"Um, and then hollosom is eventually going to be a monetized product in and of itself. So we are planning on doing your classic kind of, you know, retention mechanics, trying to get people to stick around micro transactions, all this stuff that you would expect from like a mobile game."},{"start":"00:18:23","end":"00:18:41","text":"So we do plan on monetizing it, but this is a test phase. This is a alpha test phase for the free to play product, the hollosom game. So we're not monetizing it yet because there will probably be server not server resets, but there will probably be reset where we reset everybody's accounts."},{"start":"00:18:41","end":"00:19:00","text":"And we kill old accounts just because this is still very much the test phase. We're trying to understand retention. We're trying to understand the economy, because again, this is a very different economy than the on chain, the Salana version of star atlas, which is on sage."},{"start":"00:19:00","end":"00:19:14","text":"Which is sage. So just a couple of stats on hollosom. I know I saw a few unfamiliar faces in the crowd. That's kind of why I thought it would be good idea to go over what is hollosom and how does it differ from the main product."},{"start":"00:19:14","end":"00:19:23","text":"So I know some of you guys have no exactly what I'm talking about. So I apologize for, you know, reiterating stuff you're already familiar with."},{"start":"00:19:23","end":"00:19:34","text":"A couple of interesting stats. We are just now starting to ingest and and and process data from atlasnet, which is a very exciting prospect in and of itself."},{"start":"00:19:34","end":"00:19:45","text":"But I'll get on a little bit more on that later. So we've got 863 users that have joined the game thus far. This number is increasing pretty quickly."},{"start":"00:19:45","end":"00:19:55","text":"It increased, you know, I ran it earlier this morning and it was at 700 and then I ran it a couple of about an hour ago before this presentation. It was at 863."},{"start":"00:19:55","end":"00:20:13","text":"So we're seeing our user growth, you know, almost match what we have on mainnet, which is really, really cool. Now obviously anybody can spin up multiple counts if you are, you know, if you're somebody who maybe wants to join all three factions or something like that."},{"start":"00:20:13","end":"00:20:20","text":"You know, you can have multiple counts. There's nothing saying you can't. So who knows if these are distinct users, but this is the number of player accounts that we have."},{"start":"00:20:20","end":"00:20:30","text":"You can see the number of distinct users per hour over here on the y-axis. So you can see this is during our test phase. The game has been live for quite some time."},{"start":"00:20:30","end":"00:20:42","text":"And this is after we launched yesterday. We had about a peak 160 in the first hour and then that fell and we've been since climbing. We're at about 100 users per hour."},{"start":"00:20:42","end":"00:20:54","text":"This will probably equate to around at least this first day, probably 750 to 800 unique daily active users, which is really cool to have that kind of reception."},{"start":"00:20:54","end":"00:21:09","text":"All we did was announce this in the town hall and post this on our Twitter. So or on our ex. So it's a very, very good reception in my opinion based on very little marketing."},{"start":"00:21:09","end":"00:21:28","text":"And then 103,000 transactions. So I didn't plot the transactions over here because it pretty much mimics this users per hour chart. But 103 unique transactions since the games since the game was launched yesterday is a really powerful metric because it tells us a couple of different things."},{"start":"00:21:28","end":"00:21:49","text":"So the first one is the game is more transaction efficient than Sage main net. You'll know that with about a thousand or 1200 between between nine and 1200 daily active users. We typically do anywhere from one to one to 1.75 million transactions on the main salana."},{"start":"00:21:49","end":"00:22:06","text":"So the fact that we're doing one 10th with not that many fewer users is actually pretty pretty powerful. And again, that's because we're being a little bit more efficient with with the way transactions are bundled together."},{"start":"00:22:07","end":"00:22:19","text":"The cool thing is even with this 103 transactions, I've got this. You'll notice that you have atlas in your in your hollow semi count and you can use that to participate in the marketplace."},{"start":"00:22:20","end":"00:22:35","text":"And and actually don't think they're crafting fees. So you can just participate in the marketplace through Atlas. We call that Z Atlas or is that Atlas. We're going to call the the staking token for our on chain our kind of blockchain."},{"start":"00:22:36","end":"00:22:47","text":"The the the side net that we're running hollow semon. We're going to call that Z sole just for simplicity. If we were to sum up all the fees that have been paid on these transactions to about 5.16."},{"start":"00:22:48","end":"00:23:04","text":"If that were on the real blockchain, that would be hundreds or thousands of dollars, which is really, really cool to think about that our players are I ran this calculation before I joined you guys, but our players are on average hourly saving 30 cents per hour."},{"start":"00:23:04","end":"00:23:11","text":"So the average player saving 30 cents playing the game compared to what they would be paying if they were playing on chain."},{"start":"00:23:12","end":"00:23:23","text":"So you can see the power of the free to play and the power of of of this product that in terms of providing people with a completely free way to engage in a web three game is pretty powerful."},{"start":"00:23:23","end":"00:23:37","text":"And it's a fully on chain game again. It's not fully decentralized, but there is no such thing as a fully on chain free to play game out there period full stop. There's no such thing as that, especially not one with this many players."},{"start":"00:23:38","end":"00:23:46","text":"I'm sure you could find some fringe example so don't even bother, but not one with this many players and not one with such a valuable user base as the star."},{"start":"00:23:46","end":"00:24:02","text":"So that is hollow. So a couple of initial facts there. Very exciting. One thing I wanted to talk about briefly, and this is only interesting to the few data bros out there in the audience."},{"start":"00:24:02","end":"00:24:21","text":"The A.F. you guys, you know, the the I don't know if Steven Spill is in the audience, but you know our core kind of data obsessed web three folks. We are ingesting, we are ingesting Atlas net data into our data environment."},{"start":"00:24:21","end":"00:24:45","text":"Now we had tradition of previously we had only gotten data through a third party called Hello moon. Hello moon is effectively a blockchain data aggregator. They pull in thousands of different programs that are happening on chain in particular a lot of Solana programs, including stage, including score, including all the different products that we at star out as put out."},{"start":"00:24:45","end":"00:24:55","text":"And we've traditionally gone through them and we've looked just hooked directly into into an RPC and we just we just read that data out with a very simple single endpoint."},{"start":"00:24:56","end":"00:25:09","text":"And that's great, but it means we're beholden to that, you know, that provider in terms of what they're able to get us. Hey, if we launch a new program and they're not able to get that program ingested into our data feed, we're not able to read it."},{"start":"00:25:09","end":"00:25:23","text":"So the really cool thing that happened with Atlas net and holosim is that we are now ingesting on our own using our own proprietary tools that were developed by our all star data engineer, Daniel."},{"start":"00:25:24","end":"00:25:32","text":"We are now ingesting Atlas net data or blockchain data natively as a company. So we have no third party. We're just doing it all ourselves."},{"start":"00:25:32","end":"00:25:46","text":"It's actually a huge feat. You know, you could imagine obviously we're not doing it quite at the scale as something like flip side or dune, but we're ingesting a lot of data just straight from the blockchain. It's really cool to see that happen."},{"start":"00:25:47","end":"00:25:57","text":"It's difficult to work with these data as they come in raw. It's just a literal string of random digits. And then you need to translate those string of random digits into human readable."},{"start":"00:25:57","end":"00:26:17","text":"JSON files, human readable data. So really, really great kind of technological accomplishment happening. And you know, we're already digging into obviously high level metrics in terms of number of users, transaction rates, successes, failures, how many fees are being collected."},{"start":"00:26:17","end":"00:26:29","text":"But we also have all of the actual game data that's happening in the game. So how many iron ore have been mined up? How many iron have been produced, etc. So just an amazing wealth of data that was just opened up."},{"start":"00:26:29","end":"00:26:36","text":"And we're going to be digging into this over the next month or two, probably just going crazy. So it's like Christmas morning for us over here."},{"start":"00:26:36","end":"00:26:54","text":"One final thing I wanted to chat about, but maybe we'll save this for the Q&A because I don't have any specific thought. I don't have anything specific to say on it, but I did want to just open it up for discussion because I know it was discussed yesterday at the town hall was UE5 economics."},{"start":"00:26:54","end":"00:27:21","text":"So if you have any questions about UE5 economics, I can provide kind of insight, you know, they are, they are working through the technical components of, okay, how do we get blockchain earning in the UE5 product? How do we get, you know, what are the actions that can be performed in order to get this, this loop working in terms of the how much and when and those types of things."},{"start":"00:27:21","end":"00:27:37","text":"I'm happy to speculate, but in terms of the actual, you know, what exactly is it going to look like? We don't know that yet because we're still experimenting with all the architecture, but I can tell you scanning and mining are kind of the two big ones that have been thrown around."},{"start":"00:27:37","end":"00:27:56","text":"But yeah, feel free to ask me more about that in the Q&A. I think without further ado, we are about halfway through the session. So I think it's good time to go into C4 and you guys, most of you probably saw the presentation yesterday, but C4 is the next iteration of sage."},{"start":"00:27:56","end":"00:28:10","text":"There's a few don't know sage is the economy game at Star Atlas. It's we it's called the short for Star Atlas golden era. Basically, it's just an MMO space MMO with a grand kind of strategy economy."},{"start":"00:28:10","end":"00:28:25","text":"As kind of the main the main selling point and C4 is a massive update that will introduce for key gameplay components that have not previously been in the on chain game."},{"start":"00:28:25","end":"00:28:49","text":"Those are claim stakes, which are a new way to mine up materials from planets beyond just ships. Those are crafting habs, which are a new way to process materials that goes beyond the traditional way of doing it in sage, which was star bases combat, which is actually active in hollow, but not active on chain for a number of reasons."},{"start":"00:28:49","end":"00:28:59","text":"And then the final one is council rank. So we'll finally have a fully fledged kind of experience points leveling up scheme and and and"},{"start":"00:28:59","end":"00:29:12","text":"skill tree in the main that product again, some of these are already active in hollow, but they are kind of web two of five and they're they're a little bit, you know, half baked compared to what will be in C4."},{"start":"00:29:12","end":"00:29:29","text":"But yeah, an absolutely massive update coming your guys's way the number of materials I'm sure you, you know, heard some headline figures yesterday in the presentation, but we'll probably be looking at about 5,000 new assets in game right now."},{"start":"00:29:29","end":"00:29:41","text":"I think we've got somewhere around, I don't know, 50 or 60 in game assets between raw materials components, you know, and and S to use in all these different types of items that we have."},{"start":"00:29:41","end":"00:29:54","text":"So this will blow it up to about 5,000 now a lot of those assets are final goods or what we refer to as final goods and final goods are things that are either burnt or used for productive capabilities."},{"start":"00:29:54","end":"00:30:03","text":"So a building that you place on your claim stake is an example of a final good and there are literally hundreds of different buildings that you can put on your claim stake."},{"start":"00:30:03","end":"00:30:11","text":"So that's where like, you know, a thousand of the recipes are going to be buildings and then two to 3,000 of those recipes are going to be ship components."},{"start":"00:30:11","end":"00:30:21","text":"As you probably saw yesterday, every ship is now going to have 10, 20 some some number of unique configurations that you can apply to that ship."},{"start":"00:30:21","end":"00:30:27","text":"So maybe it's a mining configuration. Maybe it's a combat configuration. Maybe it's a defensive configuration."},{"start":"00:30:27","end":"00:30:37","text":"So each ship now has 20 different iterations that it can take and all of those iterations require different ship parts in order to build."},{"start":"00:30:37","end":"00:30:42","text":"So that's where a lot of those new recipes are going to come in are ship parts."},{"start":"00:30:42","end":"00:30:51","text":"You're going to have, you know, a thousand different weapons, a thousand different armaments, a thousand different components, just tons and tons of variety."},{"start":"00:30:51","end":"00:30:59","text":"And you're going to use those and all their different tiers and combine them in order to make your ships and your fleets more powerful in sage."},{"start":"00:30:59","end":"00:31:11","text":"So that's why there are so many in terms of what we think of as like an ingredient in sage. So your radiation absorbers, your arrow gels, your iron."},{"start":"00:31:11","end":"00:31:24","text":"There's probably going to be about two to 300 of those. And I keep I keep throwing round, you know, ranges. And that's just because it's it's something that we are currently in the throws of finalizing."},{"start":"00:31:24","end":"00:31:35","text":"So a lot of materials are being thrown around and we have, you know, we have our our lists and with that many materials, there's a lot of decisions to be made about."},{"start":"00:31:35","end":"00:31:41","text":"So when do we introduce this, when do we not it? When, when, you know, which ones do we want to introduce, which ones do we not want to introduce?"},{"start":"00:31:41","end":"00:31:46","text":"But we're probably looking at, you know, two to 300 new kind of intermediate inputs."},{"start":"00:31:46","end":"00:31:58","text":"There'll be about just shy of 100 raw materials. So right now there's only I think there's like what 11, 12 raw materials in the game."},{"start":"00:31:58","end":"00:32:12","text":"That's going to blow up to about 75 or 80 raw materials. And then there'll be about 150 intermediate goods that those raw materials will be crafted into and then those intermediate goods will be used to make thousands upon thousands of final goods."},{"start":"00:32:12","end":"00:32:17","text":"And a critical component of those final goods is that they're blown up in combat."},{"start":"00:32:17","end":"00:32:28","text":"The vast majority of ship parts, when a ship is destroyed, the configuration is destroyed. So all the ship parts that were used, all the parts that were used to make that config are destroyed."},{"start":"00:32:28","end":"00:32:38","text":"The ship itself is not destroyed because because the ship is actually worth, you know, a significant amount of capital upfront."},{"start":"00:32:38","end":"00:32:53","text":"So the idea is, okay, we'll let you blow up. Let's say $500 worth of, you know, configuration materials that you crafted, but we're not going to blow up your $100,000 commander, for example."},{"start":"00:32:53","end":"00:33:04","text":"So that's the idea behind this config. So it creates this. I call it the, you know, it's going to be a war industry. Basically, it's just going to be hopefully a lot of combat, a lot of destruction and a lot of crafting."},{"start":"00:33:04","end":"00:33:18","text":"The war machine is the term that we're kind of using for C4, but yeah, I've mowned on for long enough. I will pause there. Now that I've kind of given you an overview."},{"start":"00:33:18","end":"00:33:22","text":"Superfotter Chris. Yeah, I, I got a espresso."},{"start":"00:33:22","end":"00:33:25","text":"I was guessing."},{"start":"00:33:25","end":"00:33:28","text":"Yeah."},{"start":"00:33:28","end":"00:33:34","text":"Should I ask you some questions that came in the chat Chris? Yeah, yeah, let's do it."},{"start":"00:33:34","end":"00:33:51","text":"There's one coming from virtual asking why apply high-risk zone dynamics to the medium-risk zone, like any relation of ship components and any relation of resources at blown up starvases."},{"start":"00:33:51","end":"00:34:10","text":"He thinks he knows your answer. It's good for the econ, but is it ideal for the players and a question below from the late north that it's also related to it is maybe adding a chance for components to not blow up like a dice roll."},{"start":"00:34:11","end":"00:34:27","text":"Okay, let me address the second question first, because then it's a little bit more straightforward. So the idea that there would be a random role for determining whether something gets destroyed when the ship is destroyed."},{"start":"00:34:27","end":"00:34:40","text":"I'm not opposed to that. I suppose we could introduce something like that. It would certainly make things interesting, and it might be a little bit disheartening if you know for sure that you're going to lose all your material."},{"start":"00:34:40","end":"00:34:44","text":"I'll make a note of it. I don't know how difficult that is to do."},{"start":"00:34:44","end":"00:34:54","text":"How we're handling RNG for combat is on the looting side of the equation. So once your ship is destroyed, your cargo is dropped as loot on the map."},{"start":"00:34:54","end":"00:35:06","text":"And right now, the way that we're doing all this because it's all on chain, we are going to have the last hit be the determining factor on whether or not you get the reward and access to the cargo."},{"start":"00:35:06","end":"00:35:16","text":"So there's going to be a period of time after a ship is destroyed where the person who got the last hit has early access to get to get to those cargo materials."},{"start":"00:35:16","end":"00:35:31","text":"And then after that time period is up, everybody else can go and get access to those materials. And the way that that works is every time you would loot, we roll a die to see which materials in there are destroyed."},{"start":"00:35:31","end":"00:35:43","text":"And that is a lever that we have to determine kind of the destruction rate of cargo in the game. So we might roll the die and we actually haven't determined the final probabilities."},{"start":"00:35:43","end":"00:35:54","text":"But you know, it'll, you know, me it'll probably be pretty punishing, but basically you'll lose some portion of the materials in the cargo that were dropped by the destroyed ship."},{"start":"00:35:54","end":"00:36:04","text":"That's the only form of RNG that we have currently planned. I'm not, again, I'm not opposed to having RNG for the ship components. I think that's a cool idea."},{"start":"00:36:04","end":"00:36:17","text":"That said, I think once the claim stake industry starts to get rolling and people realize just how aggressively they can power this war machine."},{"start":"00:36:17","end":"00:36:24","text":"I don't think it'll be as much of a concern. That said, we of course want to also consider things beyond just the economy."},{"start":"00:36:24","end":"00:36:31","text":"We want to consider player sentiment. We want to consider, you know, like also just user retention."},{"start":"00:36:31","end":"00:36:44","text":"Like if you're a, if you're somebody who's, you know, and you know, put a thousand bucks into this game and you go in and you lose, you know, $100 worth of configuration materials, which is a humongous that that's probably not how much you would lose."},{"start":"00:36:44","end":"00:36:51","text":"Let's say a config for a thousand dollars ship. Let's say it config is worth ten bucks on the secondary market."},{"start":"00:36:51","end":"00:37:03","text":"You know, it could be discouraging to lose that ten dollars for sure. And so I like the idea of randomness, but that said randomness on the blockchain is pretty damn tough."},{"start":"00:37:03","end":"00:37:08","text":"So I'm not 100% sure if we'd be able to do something like that, but I'll definitely take a note of it."},{"start":"00:37:08","end":"00:37:15","text":"And then the second part was a boaties not voting, a virtual question."},{"start":"00:37:15","end":"00:37:27","text":"And I can't remember. I don't see it in the list. Why apply high risk on dynamics to the immediately sound like an inhalation of ship components and inhalation of resources that blown up star bases?"},{"start":"00:37:27","end":"00:37:38","text":"Yeah, I mean, to be completely frank, that's maybe more of a Danny question. At the end of the day, he's kind of the game master. He's the one who determines how territory control works."},{"start":"00:37:38","end":"00:37:55","text":"And frankly, you guys know I'll never turn down an opportunity to blow stuff up. So I didn't really fight back very hard on that. Now that said, obviously there's this idea of there are two different two different versions of risk at play here."},{"start":"00:37:55","end":"00:38:08","text":"So there's obviously the literal defined zones in the game on the game map that says, high risk zone low risk, you know, faction zone and then and then your medium risk zone."},{"start":"00:38:08","end":"00:38:23","text":"So those will have different mechanics active in them. And I don't know what the exact restrictions are on destruction of ship components in, for example, the like the"},{"start":"00:38:23","end":"00:38:44","text":"what are currently the numbered zones like mud one, mud two, mud three, mud four, mud five. I'm not sure what that looks like. I'm assuming we'll have some sort of, you know, safety net for players who are very deep into their zone. But the other component here is beyond the actual physical constraints of the game are the strategic constraints."},{"start":"00:38:44","end":"00:38:51","text":"And reality is if you're an enemy let's say you're a player who's in, you know, very, very deep in your own territory."},{"start":"00:38:51","end":"00:38:57","text":"The chances that you get blown up are exceptionally low because somebody would have to get through all of your defenses."},{"start":"00:39:14","end":"00:39:30","text":"That's never happened."},{"start":"00:39:30","end":"00:39:42","text":"That's not the last time."},{"start":"00:39:42","end":"00:39:48","text":"That's crazy. That's sick."},{"start":"00:39:48","end":"00:40:02","text":"Yeah, but anyway, so there's this additional component of safety where if you're very close to, you know, if you're if you're in very deep in your own territory, you're not the chances of you getting blown up or extremely thin."},{"start":"00:40:02","end":"00:40:09","text":"Now the other thing is there's also restrictions on where you are able to physically go."},{"start":"00:40:09","end":"00:40:23","text":"I can't remember right now how the blockchain logic works, but I'm quite certain you're physically not allowed to go deeper than an outer territory into enemy territory."},{"start":"00:40:23","end":"00:40:35","text":"And I can't remember the exact logic there, but basically the way that the map dominance is going to work is you have to take one star base at a time and get closer and closer to the, you can't just go straight for."},{"start":"00:40:35","end":"00:40:42","text":"It's physically impossible on chain for you to take over the only central space station if you're mud, for example."},{"start":"00:40:42","end":"00:40:52","text":"So there's a sense of safety if you're close to the center of your, your, your, your faction."},{"start":"00:40:52","end":"00:41:06","text":"But yeah, I mean, the whole idea behind the high risk zone was that you would actually lose your entire ship. That was originally the plan. I don't know if we are going to, I don't know if we're going to do that."},{"start":"00:41:06","end":"00:41:21","text":"Now that we have this new config system in place, the config system was actually something that we came up with pretty recently, I would say, as a really solid solution to this."},{"start":"00:41:21","end":"00:41:37","text":"Issue that is, OK, how do we, how do we get people to fight each other without the consequences of combat being so astronomical, right? It's much scarier if you have $100,000 asset and you're going and it gets blown up."},{"start":"00:41:37","end":"00:41:46","text":"Then it is if you have $100,000 asset that has $200 worth of material on it that gets blown up. It's still risky, but it's no one near kind of that level of risk."},{"start":"00:41:46","end":"00:41:59","text":"Now, why would we want, why do we want this risk? I think it goes without saying we need, we need risk, right? There has to be risk associated with combat."},{"start":"00:41:59","end":"00:42:15","text":"Now, I will say the benefits of getting into combat, this is going to be a very, very important balance to strike. How, how valuable is winning compared to how difficult, how bad is it to lose?"},{"start":"00:42:15","end":"00:42:31","text":"That's going to be tough because, and this is a game theory problem, this is an incentive compatibility problem, but if the reward for blowing up, let's say a config is worth, you know, $100 bucks or $5 bucks and you blow up that config."},{"start":"00:42:31","end":"00:42:44","text":"And the reward is worth, I'm using secondary market prices here, I shouldn't, I shouldn't be using dollars. Let's say that a config is worth 500 Atlas and the reward for blowing up that config."},{"start":"00:42:44","end":"00:42:50","text":"So you see somebody float in out in space and you say, ooh, if I blow that guy up, I'll get 600 Atlas."},{"start":"00:42:50","end":"00:43:00","text":"There is arbitrage there to be had and that you'll blow yourself up and that you'll go out and you'll say, okay, well, I have a config that's worth."},{"start":"00:43:00","end":"00:43:09","text":"Oh, no, really? Can you hear me? Test, test."},{"start":"00:43:09","end":"00:43:21","text":"Oh, okay. Yeah, I can hear you. It's just, it's just saunty.

Can't hear anybody."},{"start":"00:43:42","end":"00:43:47","text":"Oh, I'm good. Hello."},{"start":"00:43:47","end":"00:43:52","text":"I can hear you. Can you hear me? I can hear you now, but."},{"start":"00:43:52","end":"00:43:58","text":"Okay. Okay. All right. Well, we'll see if we can get through this."},{"start":"00:43:58","end":"00:44:07","text":"There's an incentive compatibility issue with combat that if the reward for blowing up a config is too large, then you will go out and blow up your own config."},{"start":"00:44:07","end":"00:44:15","text":"So you'll go in an enemy faction, you'll manufacture a configuration, you'll blow it up in order to get the reward."},{"start":"00:44:15","end":"00:44:27","text":"So that's something that that is a very, very difficult problem to solve and it's going to require a lot of, it's going to require a lot of experimentation in order to strike the balance."},{"start":"00:44:27","end":"00:44:38","text":"Now that said, there will be, there will be long term consequences to blowing up a ship because it's obviously out of commission."},{"start":"00:44:38","end":"00:44:45","text":"So you don't just lose the config, you lose access to the ship for a specific period of time."},{"start":"00:44:45","end":"00:44:52","text":"Now, we actually still have yet to calculate the exact durations for ship respawn."},{"start":"00:44:52","end":"00:44:59","text":"There will be an option to pay to respawn. I believe it's either respawned in a very short period of time or respawn instantly."},{"start":"00:44:59","end":"00:45:05","text":"But you can rest assured that we'll make sure that there's no arbitrage to be had there."},{"start":"00:45:05","end":"00:45:14","text":"So, so that is kind of the incentive mechanism behind combat."},{"start":"00:45:14","end":"00:45:28","text":"There's another, there's another layer of combat that involves the star bases and without the, without the risks associated with the medium risk zone, star base combat becomes kind of trivial."},{"start":"00:45:28","end":"00:45:48","text":"You know, it's just like, oh, well, if there's no consequences, I'm just going to, you know, go back and forth and then it, it turns into just who can throw more bodies at the problem and how quickly can they respawn versus, okay, who's got the, who's got the production pipeline in order to, in order to maintain this battle."},{"start":"00:45:48","end":"00:45:58","text":"You can imagine the star base battles are probably going to be the main form of combat, kind of where the actual strategy is."},{"start":"00:45:58","end":"00:46:06","text":"Yeah, could I go and blow up somebody in order to get a reward and maybe I can blow myself up for an arbitrage opportunity."},{"start":"00:46:06","end":"00:46:19","text":"But I don't anticipate that that's actually going to be where the real, where the real strategy is happening because of the way that the Atlas emissions curve is going to work with combat."},{"start":"00:46:19","end":"00:46:29","text":"And I won't, I'll, I'll answer another question before I get into Atlas emissions in C4."},{"start":"00:46:29","end":"00:46:35","text":"There were a bunch of questions about, you need to scroll up a lot."},{"start":"00:46:35","end":"00:46:48","text":"Yeah. Let's see if we can find one."},{"start":"00:46:48","end":"00:46:54","text":"Fun cracker says so far we were always told that claim stakes would be upgradable."},{"start":"00:46:54","end":"00:46:59","text":"Did this change due to block Jane constraints or econ reasons."},{"start":"00:46:59","end":"00:47:06","text":"So there's a lot of complexity to unpack about claim stake upgradability."},{"start":"00:47:06","end":"00:47:16","text":"I know Wagner on the call yesterday at the town hall said that claim stakes would not be upgradable and not be craftable."},{"start":"00:47:16","end":"00:47:22","text":"That is, there's no blockchain reason why that can't be why that's the case."},{"start":"00:47:22","end":"00:47:28","text":"But there are some very, very profound economic reasons why we believe that should be now."},{"start":"00:47:28","end":"00:47:34","text":"I will caveat this with nothing is final and we haven't really like made a final decision on it."},{"start":"00:47:35","end":"00:47:47","text":"But one of the main reasons that making claim stakes upgradable is dangerous is that there's a limited amount of space on the map for claim stake tier 5s."},{"start":"00:47:47","end":"00:47:55","text":"So if all the claim stakes, you can imagine this kind of theoretical edge case where every claim stake becomes a tier 5 for one reason or another."},{"start":"00:47:56","end":"00:48:02","text":"And I can tell you what we've got enough whales in this economy to be able to make every claim stake a tier 5."},{"start":"00:48:02","end":"00:48:05","text":"No matter how hard we make it, they would be able to do it."},{"start":"00:48:05","end":"00:48:14","text":"And so you have the situation where you want to avoid this edge case where there are nowhere near enough spaces for the number of claim stakes."},{"start":"00:48:14","end":"00:48:21","text":"Because a tier 5 claim stake cannot go in a tier 4 slot on a planet. It must go in a tier 5 slot."},{"start":"00:48:22","end":"00:48:31","text":"So you can end up in a situation where, let's suppose we just have upgrading no creation, no crafting of claim stakes."},{"start":"00:48:31","end":"00:48:42","text":"That's a bit of a scary situation because you could actually end up in a situation where there are no tier 1 claim stakes, for example, and only tier 5 claim stakes."},{"start":"00:48:42","end":"00:48:44","text":"And you can't put them anywhere."},{"start":"00:48:44","end":"00:48:50","text":"You kind of get it, get yourself into like an unwinnable situation."},{"start":"00:48:50","end":"00:48:58","text":"So that's one risk. The other risk is, and this is more on the, so this is more on the econ side."},{"start":"00:48:58","end":"00:49:11","text":"One of the reasons I'm not completely, completely against claim stake crafting and claim stake upgrading is because we can make it so."},{"start":"00:49:12","end":"00:49:16","text":"We all know what a claim stake tier 4 costs. We all know what a claim stake tier 5 costs."},{"start":"00:49:16","end":"00:49:23","text":"It can't be the case that you're able to craft that in a way that would make it cost less."},{"start":"00:49:23","end":"00:49:28","text":"So we all see the secondary market. Suppose we were to make claim stakes craftable right now."},{"start":"00:49:28","end":"00:49:32","text":"This is one of the tricky things that we have with the current ship crafting recipes."},{"start":"00:49:32","end":"00:49:41","text":"One of the reasons that's been a bit of a challenge to balance is that let's suppose we sold a claim stake tier 5 for $7,700."},{"start":"00:49:41","end":"00:49:47","text":"And then we make them craftable for $200. That crashes the claim stake tier 5 market."},{"start":"00:49:47","end":"00:49:59","text":"Now, obviously we can make the recipe so extremely expensive, so astronomical that we maintain that price structure, which is fine."},{"start":"00:49:59","end":"00:50:02","text":"Eventually the inflation of those assets does reduce the price over time."},{"start":"00:50:02","end":"00:50:12","text":"Now, this is less of an issue when we have 100,000 players and, you know, autonomous is generating revenue to keep the doors open."},{"start":"00:50:12","end":"00:50:20","text":"But it's more of an issue when we have, when we're not getting that residual revenue from secondary market sales, so the secondary transaction fees."},{"start":"00:50:20","end":"00:50:26","text":"So it's a very nuanced problem. I only addressed really two of the potential issues."},{"start":"00:50:26","end":"00:50:35","text":"And, you know, to be completely honest with you front cracker, when claim stakes were originally kind of launched."},{"start":"00:50:35","end":"00:50:41","text":"This was like 2021, I think it was a really long time ago. It was before my time."},{"start":"00:50:41","end":"00:50:50","text":"So I don't want to talk too much about, you know, historical, what was said historically, just because I wasn't really a part of that discussion."},{"start":"00:50:50","end":"00:51:01","text":"So hopefully that kind of gives you an answer. I know if he has very big into producing ships and goods and stuff like that."},{"start":"00:51:01","end":"00:51:06","text":"Yeah."},{"start":"00:51:06","end":"00:51:09","text":"Yeah, that's, that's."},{"start":"00:51:09","end":"00:51:20","text":"Do you want to know all good? No, no, that's fine."},{"start":"00:51:20","end":"00:51:27","text":"Do you want me to pick another question, Chris? Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. So learn or is asking."},{"start":"00:51:27","end":"00:51:35","text":"So the town who was observed yesterday, and I'm sure a lot is still working progress as far as economics and balancing slash implementation."},{"start":"00:51:35","end":"00:51:40","text":"But I have a question about the real removal that C4 will present."},{"start":"00:51:40","end":"00:51:48","text":"Will we have some sort of comprehensive guides as far as what does what recipes, resources, locations, et cetera."},{"start":"00:51:48","end":"00:51:54","text":"We will clearly explore impossibilities. And of course, skill is now rewarded."},{"start":"00:51:54","end":"00:52:03","text":"But how do you see sage transition into C4 as far as economics go from a player perspective?"},{"start":"00:52:03","end":"00:52:17","text":"Yeah. So I think that learn or is asking a question about complexity. I think it's like how are people supposed to manage all this?"},{"start":"00:52:17","end":"00:52:24","text":"And I'll answer the question kind of with respect to that or that framing."},{"start":"00:52:24","end":"00:52:29","text":"So obviously the game is is going to kind of blow up in terms of complexity."},{"start":"00:52:29","end":"00:52:39","text":"And it's arguably already a pretty confusing game to play. And some of that is due to the fact that it's just a difficult game to understand."},{"start":"00:52:39","end":"00:52:49","text":"The UX could be improved. Our UX for sage, at least as it's currently designed, was created by a bunch of engineers."},{"start":"00:52:49","end":"00:52:59","text":"So while I think it's an awesome product, it's not like it's, you know, we're not going to win any UI competitions with sage, I don't think."},{"start":"00:52:59","end":"00:53:06","text":"So that is that is one thing that's kind of not helping is that it's just a little bit confusing to actually play."},{"start":"00:53:06","end":"00:53:14","text":"But then in terms of the economic complexity, there's multiple angles that you can approach this question from."},{"start":"00:53:14","end":"00:53:20","text":"The first one is I'm a new player. I just got in. What the hell do I do?"},{"start":"00:53:20","end":"00:53:30","text":"I think that the counter-ank system and, you know, and even potentially a cute little quest system on top of it helps a lot with that."},{"start":"00:53:30","end":"00:53:35","text":"Hey, go do this thing. If you guys have played Hall of Sim, it is so much easier to play Hall of Sim than sage."},{"start":"00:53:35","end":"00:53:43","text":"Maynet because Hall of Sim tells you what to do. It says, go make a fleet. Go minus this asteroid. Come back to the starbase. Craft something."},{"start":"00:53:43","end":"00:53:49","text":"You know, it teaches you at handholds you. So that's that's one thing that could help a lot with this transition."},{"start":"00:53:49","end":"00:54:02","text":"Now in terms of our, you know, very economically savvy and, you know, financially literate players who are trying to get the edge."},{"start":"00:54:02","end":"00:54:10","text":"For me, obviously the complexity is a good thing. I think that if we could create a game because it's all on chain, there's a lot less randomness."},{"start":"00:54:10","end":"00:54:15","text":"There's a lot less flexibility that we can have with creating this game economy."},{"start":"00:54:15","end":"00:54:25","text":"Complexity is one of the ways that we can make it so that we hit our gold, our north star. And our north star is not everybody can do everything."},{"start":"00:54:25","end":"00:54:42","text":"You know, I think I've said that on a number of occasions. So my hope is that the complexity will not be overwhelming for new players, but be too broad for veteran big, you know, big asset holders."},{"start":"00:54:42","end":"00:54:50","text":"You know, we can almost think of the two categories of players. And we have players and then we have star outland at last ends or whatever."},{"start":"00:54:50","end":"00:54:54","text":"What do we call our people? Gallians, yeah, sorry, sorry."},{"start":"00:54:54","end":"00:55:04","text":"So, you know, we want to satisfy the new player, the person who's just casually interested who wants to spend 20, 30, 100 bucks."},{"start":"00:55:04","end":"00:55:11","text":"And then we also want to create an interesting challenge for those people who have those multi thousand dollar fleets."},{"start":"00:55:11","end":"00:55:24","text":"So it is a concern, obviously. But yeah, I mean, if we got to a situation where some of our bigger players weren't able to do everything, I'd be a pretty happy camper personally."},{"start":"00:55:24","end":"00:55:34","text":"I think I've said that in the past. So hopefully I did your question justice, Lauren or, but we're going to move on to another question."},{"start":"00:55:34","end":"00:55:36","text":"We've got four minutes left."},{"start":"00:55:36","end":"00:55:39","text":"You were asking about the Atlas emissions topic."},{"start":"00:55:39","end":"00:55:52","text":"Oh, yes. So, yeah. So the Atlas emissions, I'm actually been, that's, that has been something I've been working on for the last week."},{"start":"00:55:52","end":"00:55:56","text":"And I think I'm really happy with where it's at."},{"start":"00:55:56","end":"00:56:15","text":"So, a couple of notes, obviously, this is all, you know, none of this is final typical caveats, typical disclaimers. This is all just the current, the current design, how it's currently being implemented."},{"start":"00:56:15","end":"00:56:36","text":"The first thing is we are hoping to do away with fix in exchange for ship config. Basically, if you want kind of this, this, this passive way to earn earn atlas on the market, you can create ship configs and sell them into the market for warlords."},{"start":"00:56:36","end":"00:56:45","text":"So, Warlord can just go to the marketplace by their ship config, outfit their ships and then go to war. They don't have to worry about, you know, bothering with the whole entire crafting process."},{"start":"00:56:45","end":"00:57:00","text":"So, we're hoping that the ship config, the war machine will replace fix. That's the idea. Now, that means that our, our old enemy, LP, is going to, is going to make it come back."},{"start":"00:57:00","end":"00:57:15","text":"Now, it's not going to be as bad as you think it is. All right. We are, first of all, going to, because LP will be the only atlas emissions loop at this stage."},{"start":"00:57:15","end":"00:57:22","text":"And who knows, honestly, at this stage, we may have finally shut down score. We've been saying we're going to do that for, you know, years at this stage."},{"start":"00:57:22","end":"00:57:36","text":"But, at this point, LP will be the only emissions mechanic for atlas. And with that being the only emissions mechanic for atlas, we can greatly increase the LP pool."},{"start":"00:57:36","end":"00:57:49","text":"So, we have, at least currently, we have an LP, sorry, an atlas emissions target of 8.5 million atlas per day. Now, that's going to slowly go down over time."},{"start":"00:57:49","end":"00:58:01","text":"Atle, you know, that's what it was about six months ago is 8.5 million. And that's why I've been, you know, losing a little bit of sleep over the atlas emissions we're seeing right now, because we are, we are above that target."},{"start":"00:58:01","end":"00:58:13","text":"So, the idea is we remove fix, which is basically unlimited amounts of atlas emissions. There's no limit to the amount of atlas that can be emitted via fix. It's as limited as players productive capabilities."},{"start":"00:58:13","end":"00:58:32","text":"With LP, there's a fixed amount of atlas that goes out each day. That's really nice in a tokenomic sense. It's not really nice in terms of user growth in terms of user growth, because, you know, hey, why would I want to add somebody to my team if, you know, if atlas, if that means I'm going to get less atlas."},{"start":"00:58:32","end":"00:58:53","text":"Now, there's a lot of interesting things we can do with the that mechanic. That's something I'm going to work hard to counteract. I don't want to talk too much about that, because that's still nascent, still kind of working through the logic on how we can break away from this negative feedback loop of, hey, more players equals less atlas from me. That's not what we want."},{"start":"00:58:53","end":"00:59:07","text":"But I do want to get into how LP will work with combat systems. So, first of all, the current plan is that LP will drop upon the destruction of a ship, and it will drop in a big, big, big way."},{"start":"00:59:07","end":"00:59:21","text":"The amount of LP that's going to be dropped for combat will absolutely make all other LP earnings mechanics seem trivial. And the idea is you're putting up a lot of risk in order to earn this LP, you should be rewarded handsomely."},{"start":"00:59:21","end":"00:59:32","text":"And then you can get a lot of risk associated with going out and mining up biomass creating food and then putting it in for upkeep. There is risk associated with going out and trying to blow somebody's ship up."},{"start":"00:59:32","end":"00:59:44","text":"So, you will be rewarded handsomely with LP. We'll still have some other LP loops, of course, we'll still have upgrading. We'll still have upkeep, in fact. And we may even have some other LP loops."},{"start":"00:59:44","end":"01:00:05","text":"There's really nice interplay here. First of all, the more careers you can take in order to earn LP, the more democratized LP will be. And the less right now, we've got a genie coefficient of about, you know, for LP of about 75 or 80 as the highest of any country in the world."},{"start":"01:00:05","end":"01:00:16","text":"And that's not good. That's high, high, high income inequality. And it just means that it's very difficult for somebody who's small to kind of amass any sort of wealth or at least that's what it indicates."},{"start":"01:00:16","end":"01:00:34","text":"So what this more kind of decentralized market will mean, okay, there's ways for me to go and I can earn LP through combat. I can earn LP through scanning. I can earn LP through upgrading star bases. I can earn LP through upkeep. All these different careers will hopefully smooth out that income inequality."},{"start":"01:00:34","end":"01:00:42","text":"And make it more attractive for smaller players to participate in LP. So that's kind of the first thing."},{"start":"01:00:42","end":"01:01:02","text":"I'm curious, what did you diminishing efficiency as players LP increases? Oh, that's interesting. So that's like one component. The other big component that I've been kind of hinting at is the way that the Atlas emissions curve will shift and shape based on the state of the map."},{"start":"01:01:02","end":"01:01:21","text":"It's kind of I think it's a really cool mechanic still in the testing phase. So, you know, TBD on whether this is actually what we end up doing, but every single additional star base, a, a faction yields will give them diminishing marginal return to star bases."},{"start":"01:01:21","end":"01:01:38","text":"So the very first star base that a faction takes over will be the most valuable star base they ever receive in terms of their LP Atlas emissions. So each faction will have an Atlas emissions pool that is equal to the number of regions they control on the map."},{"start":"01:01:38","end":"01:01:53","text":"Or it's a function of the number of regions they control on the map. And because of this diminishing marginal returns, the first region you control is worth the most, the second region is worth the second most third region third most and so on and so forth."},{"start":"01:01:53","end":"01:02:07","text":"And what this does is it creates a natural balancing mechanism that makes it so that let's say, let's say mud has completely dominated the map and they've got 65% of the map covered."},{"start":"01:02:07","end":"01:02:28","text":"Now mud is still better off than if they were at 33% of the map covered. They still have more Atlas emissions than they would, but everybody else is worse off because every time if we think about a one third one third one third split, that is actually the optimum Atlas emissions on the Atlas emissions curve because everybody has an equal amount of control."},{"start":"01:02:28","end":"01:02:47","text":"The moment mud takes this region away from only, for example, only loses more Atlas than mud gains because of the diminishing marginal returns. So just as you're each additional star base you earn earns you fewer Atlas in the LP pool."},{"start":"01:02:47","end":"01:03:07","text":"It's the opposite when you lose a star base when you lose a star base, that's the least valuable star base you can you can lose. So there's this natural balancing mechanism that will hopefully it basically increases the incentive the worse off your ours a faction the higher incentive you have to fight back and to earn more Atlas."},{"start":"01:03:07","end":"01:03:25","text":"Now one of the other reasons that this mechanic is important is so that there's no dominant faction right if it was the case that every region was worth the same amount of Atlas. Then why wouldn't you all just get into one big faction and just you know beef up the Atlas emissions pool."},{"start":"01:03:25","end":"01:03:53","text":"So there's this natural balancing mechanism now at the same time how do you get LP you blow shit up you blow star bases up you blow your opponents up that's how you get LP so there's an incentive to blow people up because you want to get LP to earn Atlas but there's also an incentive to keep the map balance so I'm like I said we're still going through simulations and making sure that there's not any unintended consequences but it seems like a probably the way that we're going to go about it."},{"start":"01:03:53","end":"01:04:12","text":"Again, you know the critical part for me is to make sure that the marginal player is having a good time that the marginal person the person who comes in and starts playing sage is having a good time and and the people who are already in sage are happy that that person joined that's the bigger problem I think that we need to solve."},{"start":"01:04:12","end":"01:04:23","text":"Again, we have we have solutions that were thinking about but I thought it'd be cool to talk about how Atlas will grow and and twist and shape as the map changes."},{"start":"01:04:23","end":"01:04:28","text":"Actually, oh good I'm not sharing my screen okay I'm gonna."},{"start":"01:04:28","end":"01:04:32","text":"I think I've got a chart that will be cool."},{"start":"01:04:34","end":"01:04:36","text":"People love charts."},{"start":"01:04:36","end":"01:04:39","text":"Yeah, I might not have it readily available."},{"start":"01:04:40","end":"01:04:43","text":"How are you doing on time Chris can you stay a couple minutes more?"},{"start":"01:04:43","end":"01:04:50","text":"Yeah, yeah, I know we're five minutes over so that might not be good for other people but."},{"start":"01:04:50","end":"01:04:54","text":"Other people audience they like you to keep going."},{"start":"01:04:54","end":"01:05:08","text":"Okay, so here's a here's I just posted a chart in the chat that shows the total Atlas emissions in a very very basic simulation and you can see this is from MUDS."},{"start":"01:05:08","end":"01:05:16","text":"Perspective so this is the Atlas emissions for mud in blue and Atlas emissions in the total game in red."},{"start":"01:05:16","end":"01:05:28","text":"Ignore a green for now so what this says is that up to 23 star bases both the total game emissions and mud emissions are growing and you can you might notice that."},{"start":"01:05:28","end":"01:05:57","text":"23 23 23 23 is where every single faction owns the same number of star bases and all star bases are claimed because there are 69 regions sorry I keep saying starbase in C4 will there these will be massive regions that all contain dozens and dozens of star bases that there will be like a major starbase which is kind of the king of that region so if you control that major starbase you control the region but that's that's a whole other discussion that will take a long time to get through but."},{"start":"01:05:57","end":"01:06:25","text":"Basically if you control 23 23 regions within the ecosystem Atlas emissions peak just over 8 million you know around 8.15 million and then each faction gets basically the exact same of Atlas every single day now what we're going to do is we're going to progress along the x axis and we're going to have this number of star bases that mud controls grow and let's look at for example 50 at 50 star bases mud owns."},{"start":"01:06:25","end":"01:06:54","text":"The majority of the star bases in the galaxy but that means that only and us there have lost star bases and because they've lost more than mud has gained the total emissions that red line has actually gone down now I've also got a green line there cold so you can see real quick before I get to the green line you can see the maximum you know the minimum number of star bases the minimum Atlas emissions which is the minimum number of star bases."},{"start":"01:06:55","end":"01:07:24","text":"So if all star bases being controlled is just over 4 million which is pretty much half of what it would be at its peak that green line that final line is the number of emissions if two factions were dominant so basically it says okay after you get past 23 mud takes only from only and not from Easter so Easter maintains 23 and then where that little kink is in the green line that's where mud has taken all of."},{"start":"01:07:25","end":"01:07:39","text":"Of Ooster's planets are of Ooster's regions and now it's starting to dig into only and so that's why you know you kind of see that at kink so just two different kinds of simulations there but that's generally how the curve will probably look."},{"start":"01:07:44","end":"01:07:46","text":"How to prevent mass faction exits."},{"start":"01:07:46","end":"01:07:57","text":"Is this an example or a vision of the future this is an example this is not this isn't really this isn't really."},{"start":"01:07:58","end":"01:08:08","text":"This is this is planned to be implemented on chain so this is within kind of the scope how to prevent mass faction exits so the whole point of."},{"start":"01:08:08","end":"01:08:35","text":"Coutier has a question about mass faction exits so one of the risks associated with having equal weight for every single star base is that if every star base is worth let's say 100 at least or 1000 at least what happens when one of the factions has let's say each faction has 100 players and the biggest faction controls 90% of the map so they've got you know 90% of the emissions well everybody's going to pile into that faction."},{"start":"01:08:35","end":"01:08:50","text":"But in fact the way it works is that there's a kind of a much larger marginal return to gaining a star base if you're in one of the smaller factions than there is if you're in the big faction and then once every moves over into that bigger faction now the bigger faction has."},{"start":"01:08:51","end":"01:09:04","text":"Lower atless per player because there's the larger denominator and so this should be some nice balancing that happens there in order to encourage the factions to balance out and no mass exiting."},{"start":"01:09:05","end":"01:09:28","text":"Is there a plan to sunset fix before see for right now there's no plan to sunset fix but do expect this is this is more of an update do expect to change to fix in the next couple of weeks in a further effort to try and get atless under control."},{"start":"01:09:28","end":"01:09:57","text":"Chris there's a good question there do you know who gets the LP what multiple fleets attack the same fleets yeah so that that is going to fall unfortunately it's going to follow the same logic as the final hit for cargo and we know that's not ideal we know that has not worked super well historically for MMOs but as it currently stands with the blockchain logic that's that's our best bet."},{"start":"01:09:58","end":"01:10:27","text":"The alternative is to some damage and use that the issue with some damage is that obviously if somebody's gained health you know how do you determine okay well you dealt a thousand damage but did you deal a thousand damage of the current health bar so it's very difficult to actually calculate how much each person should earn it also requires an on chain calculation to be requires an actual formula to be like a value to be calculated which is which is a little bit more."},{"start":"01:10:28","end":"01:10:32","text":"It's a little bit tough things that go beyond."},{"start":"01:10:32","end":"01:10:57","text":"Summing in transaction data are difficult so with those for example we wanted to keep track of how much each person had dealt we would need to keep that in an account on chain and then we would have to read that account run a calculation and spit the number out which is a much more involved system than just saying okay look this guy was last hit now that's not the way we want it to be permanently but that is kind of the current way that we're going to be able to implement it but yeah."},{"start":"01:10:57","end":"01:11:04","text":"Okay that was my guess as well yeah."},{"start":"01:11:04","end":"01:11:12","text":"Any other questions Chris do you have like five more minutes or."},{"start":"01:11:12","end":"01:11:17","text":"Sure let's do one more questions one more question."},{"start":"01:11:17","end":"01:11:21","text":"Let's see if anything comes in."},{"start":"01:11:21","end":"01:11:28","text":"How are you balancing everything."},{"start":"01:11:28","end":"01:11:44","text":"Well I've actually employed the help of Gareth this time around in the past I pretty much been able to do most of the econ balancing myself but this was just this was just to to large a task to do you know as one person so."},{"start":"01:11:44","end":"01:12:13","text":"So Gareth and I have been working together on this I'm really excited about that he is actually currently doing a comprehensive analysis of all of the of all the crafting recipes in the game the buildings all that different stuff to make sure that that is a nice well well-wailed machine and it's a rewarding system so he's working on the crafting stuff and then I'm doing kind of that LP the combat system and then defining extraction rates kind of at the very base level."},{"start":"01:12:13","end":"01:12:27","text":"So a lot of lot of moving parts obviously we're trying to do it as programmatically and algorithmically as possible we're not going in and you know manually placing numbers on every single building we're creating"},{"start":"01:12:27","end":"01:12:54","text":"heuristics and stuff like that in order to do this so yeah it's it's a big task and you know it's funny we talk about AI all the time I've tried to use AI I don't find it does a good job so unfortunately we're not really at least Gareth and I are not employing AI all that much for our for our part."},{"start":"01:12:54","end":"01:13:14","text":"So I'm going to give you a good answer and there's a suggestion coming from Salax saying fighter mining rate needs to depreciate over time before c4 launches because if you wait for c4 launch date the negative emotion of losing all the mining rate is going to far exceed the positive emotions of getting a new game."},{"start":"01:13:14","end":"01:13:43","text":"That's a good that's a really good point and that's one of the we know and this is why so there's obviously a bunch of numbers to calculate that's that's like to be honest like that's a trivialize it that's the easy part the easy part is coming up with numbers and you know hey here's what a production possibilities frontier looks looks like an economic theory we just apply that that's easy the hard part is making sure that this economy with this multi million dollar economy that we currently have built does not craft"},{"start":"01:13:44","end":"01:14:13","text":"that's a good question burn the moment we introduced this new economy for example we're going to be moving from a ship based economy which is 125 million dollar asset class we're going to move over to a claim stake based economy which is a 5 million dollar asset class right so what happens if we were to for example have a one to one production rate between the old game and the new game using only claim stakes all the sudden our market crashes because the claim stake is only worth 5 million dollars while we're going to be able to do that."},{"start":"01:14:14","end":"01:14:36","text":"So we're trying to maintain value for value in that way in order to balance old economy with new economy so yeah it's it's it's a definitely I lost that question."},{"start":"01:14:37","end":"01:14:40","text":"Which one Chris the one about."},{"start":"01:14:42","end":"01:14:46","text":"Oh, Zallie the one from Zallie sorry sorry the one."},{"start":"01:14:46","end":"01:15:04","text":"So yeah so so so we're trying to balance that and in in there is the fact that ships are going to see a least fighting ships and probably all ships except for mining ships are going to see a massive reduction in their in their mining rates."},{"start":"01:15:05","end":"01:15:22","text":"Right now the ideas about and I probably won't say that but yeah they will they will receive a reduction and then obviously they will they will receive a huge boost win combat is live now I like the idea slowly weaning people off of"},{"start":"01:15:22","end":"01:15:43","text":"fighterships Zallie but here's the risk we work at a business we work at a company that has lots of moving parts and while I might have this perfect plan in my head that's like okay we're going to reduce the emissions rate of ships by 5% over the next six months or you know every month for the next six months and and blah blah blah and I'll end on this date."},{"start":"01:15:43","end":"01:16:12","text":"If the games not released then all we've done is reduce ship value by you know some massive amount and we don't have anything to replace it so I do like this idea Zallie but I do get scared because the reality is you guys are extremely keen and you're not yeah it's like oh sure I know that fighting is going to be valuable soon but it's not valuable right now I'm going to sell my fightership and I'm going to go buy an S.U. data runner I'm going to buy a mining ship."},{"start":"01:16:13","end":"01:16:29","text":"Because I don't want to deal with this in the short run so we have the risk of accidentally crashing the ship market in the short run so that's like my biggest fear about messing with ship stats before C4 launches but I do really appreciate the the idea there."},{"start":"01:16:30","end":"01:16:37","text":"Nice nice and Chris I saw a question the only one week had from U.F.I."},{"start":"01:16:37","end":"01:16:46","text":"Eklan and sage and we can close with this one if you want yeah how big will be the U.F.I."},{"start":"01:16:46","end":"01:16:53","text":"Go or whatever resources use impact on sage."},{"start":"01:16:54","end":"01:17:09","text":"So we'll probably handle this in the same way in terms of the asset class we'll handle it the same way as we're handling the C4 transition right so we we want to make sure that we don't make U.E. 5"},{"start":"01:17:09","end":"01:17:38","text":"2 valuable or not valuable enough same thing with claims takes if claims takes are broken good then it's going to crash the ship market if claims takes are broken bad then nobody's going to care about C4 and it's going to be a huge disaster so you know one of the ideas we have had rolling in the back of our heads is that because you have to go in and physically play U.E. 5 there will definitely be an effort premium in U.E. 5 like a certain effort premium."},{"start":"01:17:39","end":"01:17:52","text":"Now I'm sure there are ways to automate you know U.E. 5 actions but it's not as easy to automate as the sage game because the sage game is you know it's a web browser you just you just click."},{"start":"01:17:52","end":"01:18:06","text":"But you know there's also the risk that people will be able to invoke the U.E. 5 instructions on the blockchain directly and not even have to go through the U.E. 5 steps so there's a bit of some risk management we need to do in in order to make sure that."},{"start":"01:18:06","end":"01:18:08","text":"And increased."},{"start":"01:18:08","end":"01:18:23","text":"Reward mechanism in U.E. 5 is not exploitable but yeah the idea would be that U.E. 5 would be significantly more rewarding how much more rewarding we still have to determine I said significantly you know that could be."},{"start":"01:18:23","end":"01:18:46","text":"We literally don't have any data on it we need to do the analysis it could be anywhere from you know 10% all the way to 3x who knows we still need to do that balancing analysis I'm waiting for those guys to kind of finish up and be ready to go before we really dive into that is we got plenty of work to be done on C4."},{"start":"01:18:46","end":"01:19:04","text":"All right I think we covered a lot well you covered a lot in get covered a lot here Chris we can begin closing anything you want to share before we close this stage."},{"start":"01:19:04","end":"01:19:09","text":"It seems like there's a lot of a lot of interesting discussion going on in the chat."},{"start":"01:19:09","end":"01:19:18","text":"Yeah thank you guys for listening I know I can I can drone on and on so I appreciate you sitting around and listening."},{"start":"01:19:18","end":"01:19:24","text":"But yeah thank you guys so much and we'll definitely see you next month I don't know if you're has any closing thoughts."},{"start":"01:19:24","end":"01:19:41","text":"Yeah no thanks as always and great explanations Chris obviously a lot more still on the table to talk about but hopefully we can slowly answer
