Had one yesterday, time to talk about the sequel.

Not gonna lie, today left a much stronger impression than day 1. I'm one of the weirdos who's fully onboard with all the sim and on foot stuff so I got a lot of interesting updates. Enough to get my hopes a little. Just a little.

Few notes from the stream:

• really like the frontier fashion as I prefer more modern looking clothing compared to (some of the) futuristic designs we have now
• clothes modularity is an amazing addition, another feature from my childhood dream game will be a thing
• love the hair improvements, one of the things I really waited for
• new character editor looks great, we'll finally be able to make really distinct characters
• FPS updates seem good, all but ping anyway - not a fan of such mechanic. I'd rather have it tied to a usable device if it has to be in the game rather than just a helmet.
• not fully sold on the slide but I don't hate it either
• space combat improvements look good, that's about all of my feelings on that as I'm not particularly interested in this part of the game
• still not sold on master modes, should probably try AC implementation
• I'm really curious how my ~~brick~~ Aurora handles atmo flight in the future
• new settlements look pretty impressive, I especially like the homey feeling of independent type tileset
• Pyro presentation made me change my mind about trying out Pyro when it's out
• mhmmm, yummy slugs
• personal hangars look great
• same with base building even though I'll most likely stick to a rentable apartment mentioned earlier this year
• I'm not really invested in S42 but I'd be lying if the cinematic didn't change that a bit

Despite my overall careful curiosity towards the project I'd say it was a pretty good Citzen Con. We got a lot of good updates, some features that seem to be pretty advance development wise which might mean they'll indeed come to PU within next year and brought back some hope in the progress.

That said I do have one major gripe - for a project that's suppose to be run as "open development" limiting news through the year and hiding all of this behind S42 anti spoiler policy sucks.
They should either act truthfully and share more meaningful info with us on regular basis or stop pretending this is the "most open development ever" and stick to hoarding all the important stuff for big events. Don't treat us like the idiots we are.
