2018 SC highlights?

[Black Sunder]

I don't know about you all but for me SC in 2018 I'd call it the "Year of Progress", especially after the drought of 2017. We have 2 planets, several moons, somewhat functional missions. We have cargo running, mining, bounty hunting, general combat, FPS, etc etc in initial stages. The Org has never been larger either. We got the Sq42 Roadmap now too to look at. I'd call 2018 a good year. Yes, it could have been better for SC but overall its real progress and I think 2019 will be more of the same or better as they continue to improve their processes.

What are your 2018 SC Highlights?

Well... they started working on the 890 and the 600I was beautiful, so that was nice. I liked the way the games design language really got fleshed out this year with stark differentiation between different ship manufactures and the first large city in the game nailing an industrialized brutalism look.

I think the expo was, for me, the best singular highlight of 2018. To my mind, it comprised all of the progress in the year by involving the new planet, landing site, tram system, and object container streaming. The fact that you could walk the expo floor, rent any ship you wanted to test out, take off in that ship, and then fly to the complete opposite side of the system in a seamless gameplay experience with no loading, was just incredible.

Also, seeing the Idris in all its glory, even just the exterior, was crazy.

The Expo and SQ 42 roadmap were my highlights. Now I have an idea when to upgrade my PC.

I thought this was a great recap on the year --> the first ATV of 2018, where they reviewed what it took to release 3.0! Bonus...you get almost 30 minutes of Tony Z. talking about past stuff and what's coming in the future:

Performance
40+ FPS in 4K. Very few crashes, up to 4 hours of uninterrupted game play and undoubted AAA+ graphics.

I can take the negatives when I see this kind of improvment.

I have to say my 2018 SC Highlights is I set a goal in Jan

I would have to agree with @Printimus, despite all the bugs from it OCS is a massive highlight for 2018 due to how much planned functionality this opens the door to.

I continue to be impressed with the new ships. They're all brilliant in their own way.
