I'm hoping it ties into Benoit's answer to "best upcoming feature that nobody is noticing?": the NPC scheduler.<br><br>Each outpost can be assigned a few NPCs to patrol around so a bandit base will affect the whole mountain range around it.

I'm more excited for Genesis than pretty much any other feature. SUCH a big part of SC for me is flying around planets. Usually missions and mining are more of an excuse to find new places to go. I'm also insanely curious how the new building placements will look and what missions we'll see there

What you kinda missed: Benoit talked about PTV5 being integrated into the server meshing architecture. So they can define areas on a planet that can be designated to a separate server for example<br><br>That's actually pretty huge and was probably a reason why it all took so long to get closer to a release

Just did some bunkers on Hurston and man some of those (old?) textures are brutal, stones blurred to hell.

I saw someone say that planet tech/starchitect is a step forward on populating planets, NPCs included. That is the main part I care about. But performance improving is also very important.<br><br>I'll take anything towards actually having dynamic AI in the game.

I first saw Star Citizen when I got my first job working at a local deli. I was 15. Bought in with my 9 dollar an hour paycheck. Since then Ive gained 2 nephews and am approaching 28 years old. I guess I truly am a patient with man.

Man I would love to see live geo change River/Coastline erosion, Mud Slides, Volcanic eruption, Asteroid impacts, this could create several new game sub loops within and for exploration or imagine being able to plot and manipulate the trajectory of an asteroid so it is set to slam into and destroy or damage a space station and it is up to a geo team and miners to find the best way to detour or destroy the asteroid.

Cliffs are nice... but overhangs are what separates the goats like minecraft

The next step up for Will is obviously Oceans! I would promote him to Poseidon.

Project Genesis, which is probably what CIG named this after is from the Star Trek movie the wrath of Khan. Project Genesis involved a device that could terraform planets. That would be much more interesting than just CIG templating biomes, like jungles or swamps

CIG are absolute masters at drawing pretty pictures. Sometimes they can even make them move impressively. But that’s about it…
