rimmer59 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 OK, that was f*cking cool. I hope this is what they mean by Quantum Linking. ZehLegitGlitch and Space-Walrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Villder Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Starts at 3:10. I thought that the Merlin would be left behind as soon as it got out of the Starfarer's physics grid... the more you know.

Fizzlefuse Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Not quite quantum linking I'm guessing, but close enough. That was pretty ffing cool. ZehLegitGlitch and GeraldEvans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZehLegitGlitch Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 I honestly thought some bug was going to occur, but holy shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeraldEvans Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 If I were to guess I'd say there's a state check for the parent ship that applies to any children offloaded mid QD. Really cool stuff, and huge implications if you can deploy a fighter cover that's ready as soon as you stop. Space-Walrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fintz Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 My assumption is that they are going to fix that in the future. Leonn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeraldEvans Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Well I put the question to Brian Chambers anyway. Space-Walrus, Fintz and Leonn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeStoanes Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Okay so a few things. One, the video itself was... lackluster, let's be real here. Overdramatic music and a lot of cutting to images of pilots faces as if they were concentrating hard... but it's not even the pilot of the merlin. Now, let's get on to the actual content... What they managed to achieve is actually pretty fantastic on several parts. Getting the merlin into the narrow space and into the starfarer without either exploding is pretty impressive in and of itself. Then managing to fly it out of the hanger while in quantum jump is also pretty incredible. The fact that the merlin was able to maintain speed and stay in quantum was certainly interesting. This brings up a question on if two separate ships can quantum leap from next to each other to the same location at the exact same time... would you be flying next to the other ship in quantum space? Might be interesting. If quantum space in the game is not essentially a separate "universe" but is instead of sub-section of the universe you're already in, it might be possible to collide with another ship in quantum space, which certainly would be interesting.

Tom Villder Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 This has strategic implications if this is intended i.e. a local physics grid in quantum space. Polarises, Idrii and Javelins could potentially deploy their ships mid-jump, meaning an organized force can jump out of quantum space with a fully deployed and battle-ready fleet.

GeraldEvans Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That was exactly my thought. Tom Villder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Villder Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Starfarer, Merlin and Caterpillar all jump together. Here's a Starfarer jumping with two Merlins in formation. JakeStoanes and ZehLegitGlitch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
