I would seriously caution about getting hopes up for SSOCS being shown at citizencon. If they do it then it will be in a very tightly controlled environment specific for that demo. We likely won't see it until next year at the earliest even if they are ahead of schedule because it will require A LOT of Evocati and PTU testing to fully work out the kinks.

What is SSOCS?
Server Side Object Container Streaming.

It allows the server to only load into memory the objects that are currently in use within its game world. Thus it does not have to waste cpu cycles and memory on things players are currently not engaged in.

Example. No one is currently flying around a reclaimer. The server doesn't load the object into memory. No one is over at Yella. The server doesn't need to load the whole planet, habs (like JumpTown, Benson, Arcorp Mining Area 157 and Deakins research outpost) and GrimHex into memory.

But as @Black Sunder correctly stated its still very much a work in progress as it has many dependencies before it can be fully implemented.

The good news its nearing completion and once it along with Server Mesh are done we should truly see the MMO we have been anticipating.

New Ship Upgrades UI

Gaw!
*Runs to site*
*Clicks Ship Upgrades*
*web-app loads*
Oooh a web app like the 300 series customization tool
*tinkers*

Mmmm, interesting - it totally cuts out the page that gave additional details on the pledge like:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Upgrades/Dragonfly-yellowjacket-To-325a-Upgrade

...but as the above link still goes to that page my assumption is that it's a new front end and those pages while still part of the process of purchasing are now left out of site categories and search...??

*tinkers*

Mmmm, because it's an overlay you can no longer use a URL to send it to friends or show it to anyone. This is the page I opened it on:


I closed the tab and reopened it, there is no modifier to the URL to show the CCU tool was opened wouldn't it be nice if there was a URL to that page?

*tinkers*

The old Upgrades page now 404's.

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Upgrades/

Not a massive problem in general but will effect a small proportion of end users.

I love TESTing stuff!

EDIT - Aaaaand i've broken it already. Closed the web add on "All ships", came back to it after closing the tab for a few minutes and it was still set to all, so set it back to my ships and nothing is there. I busted it!

And lo, 'Bobface did gaze upon his destruction and did proclaim "Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds. Not bad for twenty minutes TESTing."

My main take-aways from the opening address:

No no-fly zone over New Babbage, anywhere. That is awesome news - not 100% clear if that will be rolled back to Hurston or Arc-Corp, but amazing news that the intention is to have "If you see it you can land there" and they state that was a lesson learned.

They were able to re-tech the planets and moons - all of them - in two months. That is 24 months of work re-jigged in 8 weeks. Fab.

AI was able to fly a mission ship in, land, and then take off with the player as passenger. Stonkin', lads.
