It's just a ship explosion script sequence...

@@ashcosmo3854 For now

Oh, I missed that. I was thinking for all the detail, it's a little sad to see the exact same spot getting hit resulting in the ship blowing up, but you can indeed see it blow up further into the ship as it goes through. Nice!

if those are going to be exit wounds the crew in there is gonna get rekt

Basically a very large hammer head at that point

Give me an Idris and I’ll prove you wrong.

It was in the pool.

​@kawaii_milkshake2160 technically speaking, it still has S7 guns, but it doesn't seem to use them, probably out of range, and should have S8 torpedos, which would definitely do something to Jav. Honestly Xenothreat is kind of dissappinting currently.

Only impressive thing is the state of the games company and fanmongs

@@04warrick04 Why did it get better or worse?

The reason this game will never be released, in my opinion. Is because fans are happy when they aee shit like this. They are happy to sit in a alpha for years. When other games have come and gone. Just look at elite released before SC and will have space legs too. Considering SC hasnt left alpha is just pathietic. And fanboys arw happy to sit in alpha. To be honest its wuite funny

@@04warrick04 *Spoiler:* The Elite dlc is pure garbage with loading screen transiction to the vehicles something that even no man's sky already did in 2016 + the AI of npc is the most embarrassing thing even worse than cyberpunk and all this trash for 40$, and you want to compare it to star citizen hahahahahha good one. At least avoid comparing a low budget games with the most advanced game in the world, continue to cry elite fanboy your game has 7 years old graphics that it looks like a mobile game.

@@gabrielblake1 lol i dont play elite £350 million has gone on a noce looking alpha thats it 8 years and all you got is a alpha. Last time i looked every game that was hyped and took that long to make turned out trash like fucking trash. Hopefully youre grandkids will play the beta like you all are that support this game betas

It's probably the quantum drive. Similar effect as when you quantum travel :)

To my knowledge that warp inward followed by the massive blue shockwave was the quantum drive imploding

What you saw there was the ENTIRE QT fuel tank's worth of Quantanium, meaning a fat majority of it went warping FTL out of sight.

No, you saw an animation. LOL these idiots in the comments trying to make people think it's some epic mechanic. No, it's just animation and sprites attached to a game state.

@@RDR911 The justification *behind* the animation

These shots are actually coming from the Javelin Destroyer's main guns. They're the beefiest in the game

@@jschnit48 hmm aren't those s8? the railgun is s10 so theyre not even close

​@@pepebenalua The javelin also has size 12 torpedos which we've never seen, a bunch of S6 and S7 guns and the capacity to slot 2 redeemers and more fighters than the Idris could fit in its hangars. Even the polaris is just S10 (a step up from the eclipse S9)

​@@Kothar- Yeah, I'm full aware of that, I been speculating how all those type of guns and torpedoes will work when the game releases so I make a good purchase. People are saying torpedoes beign so slow will be useless against these capital ships with many turrets shooting them down before they reach their target or just by flying away faster than them, but I think CIG won't let them be that bad when the biggest ship flyable by a player have them. The s10 torpedoes should be faster, so a Polaris should beat an Idris if they start combat from long range. The s12 from the Javelin should too even if slower. I think that all the videos where these ships battle at close range aren''t realistic and at the end big pvp capital battles will be these ships launching torpedoes from tens of kilometers, so all those guns the ships have will be useless, the one that may be the exception will be the Idris rail gun because will probably have the longest range of any gun, it is at 10km now. I have A Polaris because its so cheap either via the ccu game or the grey market. Also a BMM because is the best price-value ship, it has two s8 so I will taste how it is to use the Kraken or Javelin main guns. I'm still debating if any of the $1k+ ships are worth for me, if the torpedoes end being bad then the Idris will be the best choice if you use the rail gun at max range and don't let the enemy get close to you. Basically an Idris would beat a Javelin (and any ship, really) by shooting down its torpedos, keeping just under that 10km range so the rail gun hits but any gun from the Javelin (or any other ship) doesn't. It's the Idris M that has the rail gun, and maybe the laser version that the Idris K has won't have that range so you have to convert it to the M version ingame. If the Idris M was still availabe at $1000 I would buy it without a doubt, but having to spend $1500+ for a worse version and then a lot of ingame money to do the conversion makes the buy way less desirable.

They didn't feel a thing

Their death was quick, better than being sucked out of a ship

I did not see the engine room get hit,,,... i guess the front of the ship sent them a memo to explode the engine because the hit points ran out.

@@hamburgerjones695 Well see. These days pushing visuals and scale takes priority at the expense of gameplay. Mainstream gaming seems to become more and more basic each generation for the sake of accessibility.

Haegemonia had terrific explosions and sound effects comparable to this back in 2002! game designers just been lazy all these years. Finally Star Citizen surpasses it.

@@wcagee101 yes, but those 40 bn systems are comprised of the same gameplay stuff that is already there. (same planet types etc) So, no idea why people explore there.

@@nukepuke932 I'm fairly certain they didn't have time to get blown into space before that quantum detonation occurred and ripped them apart at the atomic level

A clap on the back and a few peanuts is all, game artists are woefully underpaid unfortuntely

Depends when it's you and buddy's all screaming at each other as each round hits. Leading to you all scrambling to the airlock before the ship goes up... That tends to be exciting...

@@tanakalight facts mate

It's missing the dramatic/exciting background music is all. Plus maybe voices of the scrambling crew

I mean this is just a 1v1. Imagine this but on a massive scale with hundreds if not thousands of players manning various massive warships and escorts.

its never going to be available to the "average" person.

@@rpscorp9457 oh I think it’s only going to be available for the original backers who forked the most money into the game when it first came out as trailers

@@brennanlangless8912 There are maybe ~50 in the game under player possession that originally sold for $2700 a piece. The Idris likely the same number, for $3000 each. They were gone in seconds. Were talking average people though, and the average person isnt going to shell out more then $100 for the game.

I've always rationalized it as part of the 'sensor suite' like how the sun's magnetic and radio waves could be translated into sound, the sensors in ships are designed to 'translate' sensor noise into auditory sounds in order for pilots to be able to recgonize threats without haven't to look at their sensors all lthe time.

I think if or when we as a species every get to space, they will start to design systems to make it easier for the pilot and ship crew member to know what is going on around then. Humans are a very visual and audio based specises. take away one or both and you can do nothing but sit there and look like a nice fleshy statue.

I bet you don't put salt on your fries either

Too much overload of systems and damage causes torque imbalance making it very hard to move

That was a recording for my friends because Discord only allows 8 MB upload. If I had known that the video would get such a reach, I would have uploaded it in 2k. 🤣

So sad 😅

Well that's what you get for having such a cool name

Yes

Only if the force of the explosion could apply to the parts long enough. That's why you have rifles with long barrels to get bullets with faster exit velocity. With a short barrel the bullet exits fast and the compressed gas can't accelerate it as much as with a long barrel. The barrel also orients all of the force from the gunpowder into one direction. A random explosion is a lot less efficient in this way. In a chaotic explosion like this you sure will get a few tiny pieces going fast (since the lower mass the faster they can be accelerated from one short impulse) but large pieces (dozens of pound and up) take too long to get accelerated very much, also the shockwave deflects internally on the shattered pieces and slows the inner parts down again.

Please read the description.

Read the description ;)

Of course, the sound has to be there because of the gaming experience. Funny that CIG even has an explanation for this: The theoretical sound is said to be calculated by computer and played in the helmet.

@@lespatula_ as with sound in elite :) Imagine just playing the game without almost any sounds? Fun? Sometimes don't understand some people...

never

@@rpscorp9457 lol

It costs $45 ffs, why do all you fools act like it's a fucking fortune to buy the game?.

@@Prodzick I agree, so what has that got to do with a $45 game package?

​@@trinovant1427 The comment above was most likely refering to people who bought a Javelin, Idris or anything big so i don't get why you are acting like a fool.

I mean the whale is gonna have to find a crew so maybe you can hop on the space whale. Fool.

Ha i see you are a man of culture as well X)

Soon TM, in 2 years or 3 or 4, we don't know it.

(never)

Well, in all honesty, it already has been released quite some time ago. And while it is still in Alpha, you can play the game already, even though a lot of the planned functions are missing and will be added later. The content in this video was an ingame event that all players could participate in on the Live servers, not some kind of demo or preview. I for myself have been playing for over two years now and I never regretted buying it. Had way more fun in two years of Star Citizen than I had in almost 4 years of Elite.

Hahahaha, "released". You're funny.

itll never be fully "Released". This one is going to be a maintained beta/early access game until something comes along thats bigger and better.

A silent game is boring. CIG has a solution, the game lore describes it like: external sound you hear could be considered artificially generated auditory feedback. Basically, your ship's computer or helmet computer detects weapon discharges and thruster flares from other ships and recreates the sounds that they would make in atmosphere.

mod the CIG to make chicken noises for bullets

@@generalnango 🤣

At the time of recording, you could hardly get more FPS in SC

@@lespatula_ is it better now?

@@quineloe yes. Beside the bugs, you can get up to 160fps+ depending on your hardware and the location in the verse.

In terms of exposure, you mean like the Navy does ? ... It's done for line of sight, during combat you cant command a ship that large via a camera alone and situational awareness is markedly reduced if such were done.

@@Nine-Signs I get that but it’s stupid no damn giant ass capitol ship is gonna have a cockpit on the nose they should be done the way the caterpillar and kraken are actual bridge rooms or cockpit areas having the cockpit on the front makes the ship feel smaller and just look like a scaled up small ship I’ll be really upset especially when they can just add cameras on screens in the cockpit also it would be easier to fly from the back end of the ship coz at the front you can’t see the entire back of the ship and you don’t need a nose seat pilot area for combat ina fucking capitol ship...I’m really hoping they get this right since they want realism

@@Nine-Signs Personally, I would guess that at the time Star Citizen is playing, it should be absolutely possible to have window-less bridge, with sensor data and visuals being relayed to the Pilot/Crew in sich a manner it is just the same as sitting in such a cockpit, maybe even better. The Series "The Expanse" makes a pretty good example for this I think.

@@itzjustkris7964 Because their many ships, who can use emps and if you use Cameras they would be blind when they got hit by a emp bomb

@@Graz190 so? they can have windows too just stop freaking putting them on the front nose of every god damn ship

I know, but tell this Hollywood :D

@@lespatula_ yeah well 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Not exactly true, self oxidizing combustibles can definitely still blow in a vacuum! Think: rocket fuel, gunpowder, lithium + water in electronics, etc!

This is not true as explosives have their own oxidizers.

@@ChevisPreston i didnt know that But the explosion looks like its happening on earth it spreads, it shouldnt right?

Ah yes cuz Size 9 capital grade weapons should not cut down a frigate. Logic.

Yes. robertsspaceindustries.com/

More like a playable tech demo at this point...check back in 10 years...there might be a beta by then.

This is all planned for a later development stage. We'll see if it's actually implemented that way.

@@lespatula_ No it isn't, lmao.

@@RDR911 Depressurization is as far as I know

projectile damage too ;)

Yes andre is right. Lel! Projectile dmg is planned because they’ve already said Ballistics and Lasers do different things. Ballistics bypasses shields and damages the Hull and later Armor (when implemented). We are getting projectile damage just cuz of that, as well as Fire, Depres, etc. as well as components flying off the ship during the fight. Atm this happens with a scorpious more than any other ship INGAME CURRENTLY.

🤓🤓

Is not the ship full of O2? Ripping one open would tend to bleed a significant amount of O2 and other monopropellant stores creating a very large and short lived "fire". Some of the "fire" could be associated with the implosion of the quantum drives, sorta like the sun.

Incorrect. It's an animation associated with the exploding ship state.🤣

@@RDR911 come on, just doing some rp here.

This guy is everywhere in this comment section pay him no mind lel

@@gavinmitchell3709 Why is it that so many sc fans respond to people pointing out that what they are seeing/hearing isn't what is happening by just saying it is rp? It honestly strikes me as that meme about "just acting stupid". It is quite interesting, I've never seen a community so hell bent on pretending. I wonder if there is a correlation between this failing and being easily duped.

@@SirSpence99 Go away if it annoys you, because I'm not hurting or offending anybody. It's just cool to put myself in a scenario like that because, quite frankly, reality fucking sucks. It's just how I coped with it about 6 months ago. Now I'm in a relationship and trying to start digital art stuff. Edit: I don't know where you got being duped from, haven't spent a cent on the game outside of the $45 to play it.

Unfortunately, this beautiful explosion can no longer be viewed in the current development status of the game (Patch 3.17.4). It's not nearly as impressive anymore and most of the time the Idris despawns right after its destruction.
