I'll record it and put a listen here when I can, and I apologize for the wrong initial time - I was half asleep when I wrote it and fixed now.

*Logs on(first time in 2-3 days)*
Reads this thread.

Thinks to self, "... shhhhiii-CRAP!"

Edit: I missed it but I can still ask a question right?

Q: What needs to be/what will be implemented before modular destruction of ships (blowing up engines, guns, etc.)?
Q: Will explosions get more, for lack of a better term, "pizazz"? I was thinking in the form of small pieces of burning debris (such as those explosions found in red faction) but extra lighting or physics would be fine.

Sorry guys, yea I could have picked a more confusing day than to plan something on the day the time changes then change the day... but next week at the same time, we will do this again. So set your calenders!

Here is the transcript of what did get asked:

Ashes : So what are we discussing
(MemThf): well a little bit of everything
Boogie : no mouselook in multiplayer!
(MemThf): damn straight
Ashes : No overpowered afterburner like D3
Ashes : Does MW allow customized configs yet? I havent been able to play it in a while
Boogie : well, mw needs an afterburner
(MemThf): I'm definatly not happy with the current afterburner
(MemThf): it needs lots of work with thrust/drag
Boogie : yes
(MemThf): about the configs you're able to remap most keyboard commands, but joystick commands are limited
Ashes : Ok, I fly keyboard and mouse
Ashes : that should work for me
Boogie : it is awkward how the gun makes the ships rotating
Boogie : too easily for me
(MemThf): we're working on mouse 3/4/5 buttons atm as well
(MemThf): you mean the impact from being shot ?
Boogie : yes
(MemThf): Are you saying it's too awkward? or to easy?
Boogie : awkward
Boogie : i try fighting a bot and he makes me rotate 100 times before i can see him
(MemThf): yes thats a bit strong i suppose, but we haven't worked on that specific value much
(MemThf): once we have weapon damage and player death it will be focused on more
\
ZevN47 :What needs to be/what will be implemented before modular destruction of ships (blowing up engines, guns, etc.)?
(MemThf):First off we would need player death and perhaps a hitbox system, then the customization of the ship so that modular destruction looks and works well.
ZevN47 : Will explosions get more, for lack of a better term, "pizazz"? I was thinking in the form of small pieces of burning debris (such as those explosions found in red faction) but extra lighting or physics would be fine.
(MemThf):Yes the explosions will improve and hopefully we can add some of our physics code during explosions for realistic debris.

Wow, this week's (10/13/2010) public discussion went REALLY well in my opinion! Even though there were only three people from the community (including myself) in the discussion along with developers MemoryThief and chabad (I think that's what the second developer's nickname was), there were some really good questions asked and some equally good answers were given. I just wish that there were more people from the community who had decided to join in on the discussions!

BTW, for those of you in the Miner Wars 2081 community who don't have TeamSpeak, you can download it from the following website:
http://www.teamspeak.com/

Also, you can get some basic tutorials on using TeamSpeak from this website:

I ran in the door, kicked through the pile of junk on my desk, waited for the agonizingly slow mo-demon to boot, started up, got online... and came to the conclusion that my timezone calculations are faulty.

Howdy everyone, meeting have been not happening for the last few weeks due to holidays and planning time, but the next weekend will be our first official meeting of the year....

We did have a psudo meeting (not recorded) last week explaining to some of our dedicated fans some of our secret information, so join in this week to get the skinny.

i think the reason for releasing on xbox and not PS3 is that xbox may be alittle bit easier for "indie" developers, though the possiblity of the PS3 6 axis is quite a good point

QUOTE: Just woundering is there a specific reason for releasing MW on the 360 and not on the PS3 which does have sixaxis compatability built right into the controler??

The reason is because the language that the engine is being programmed in allows for easy transport to 360 without any major code modification, this doesn't mean that we wouldn't port it to PS3 if that was just as readily available...

We will now have public meetings postponed due to E3 and other events. For further info visit our blog for updates happening with our developers on a more personal level. We will continue these public meetings on the release of the next update. E3 is tomorrow, wish us the best! ;)
