You need to find a decent program, most are terrible or expensive, I don't feel like resorting to , so I'm using OpenShot in an Ubuntu VM

DaVinci Resolve is pro level stuff for colour correction but also has a really strong non linear editing component, should easily be enough for Paarrp around. There's a free version of the latest rev. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ca/products/davinciresolve

Also the 3D app Blander - also free - has a video editing module but I've never used it, I'd go with Resolve if I was looking for a good free tool.

Q: Within the context of fantasy space flight ... Should there be an advantage to getting on your target's 'six' and staying there, or is that pretty much negated by 6DOF flight?

A: I will say that in all circumstances even with, you know, six degrees of freedom and the ability to, ah, you know, do lateral and horizontal and... ah... you know... vertical, sort of em, strafing, ah, as well as sort of, ah, you know, change your orientation and maybe not your velocity vector, ah, which is sort of the decoupled stuff, um, always getting on, ah, you know, getting BEHIND someone, or in their BLIND SIDE is a bit of an advantage, now the difference, in, ah, our system and flight model if you're a good pilot, is you'll be able to get out of that situation, you'll have more OPTIONS than you do in regular atmospheric, ah, you know air combat manoeuvring, but, em, you know, obviously you wanna get BEHIND someone because, you know, ah they can't bring their gun... you know, most guns are forward facing also visibility's usually forward facing so you know OUTSIDE OF the bigger ships with turrets then you know, ah, getting behind, ah, people or someone in a dogfight is usually, ah, it will give you an edge and advantage even if they can recover from it... ah, quicker than they can in, ah, you know, traditional, you know, ah, CURRENT DAY, atmospheric, ah, air combat.

code:
 Local Physics Grids to hopefully include transfer of momentum in ammo, i.e. ballistic shot piercing right through a ship.
This sentence is so wrong it's giving me headaches.
It has *nothing* to do with momentum. There is no "transfer of momentum".

The issue, currently, is their half-arsed "local grids" (which are an obfuscated way to call physics engine instances - instances) don't preserve ANY of the physical properties across boundaries. That includes mass and velocity. Mass and velocity are momentum, true, but mass is irrelevant here - the issue is, apart from player characters and ships, velocity isn't preserved when crossing the boundary, so bullets quietly disappear when they hit an "edge" of an instance.

So it's not so much about "transfer of momentum" as GETTING THEIR DAMNED poo poo to preserve objects/actors and their attributes correctly between instances.

Speaking of which, i'm willing to bet my bottle of Kavalan Solist (*) that they destroy the whole character rig, bones and all, when a player leaves a "grid", then rebuild it on the other side of the second "grid". Which sometimes fails spectacularly. Which is where the ragdoll poo poo comes from.

* not really

I think this was one of the original questions many had when CR described the grids to us.

But an ex-producer explained the whole thing in an interview, which quelled most of our doubt then, has already departed and is working at Blizzard.

For all those saying I'm full of poo poo I hope you just saw that with your own eyes.
- SQ42 is not coming out in 2016 and there is nothing showable.
- it is now doubtful that SQ42 will see 2017 although internally q4 2017 is optimistically if not tentatively spoken of.
- SQ42 is ALL interactive fmv with the odd dog fight/basic flight mission.
- everything is all about SQ42: end

They have plenty of cash.

Not from what I'm hearing. That's a false flag op designed for employees/contractors like you to take the bait and spread that info.

They have to keep raising money as a result. And since they know that Star Citizen, as pitched, is never going to see the light of day, SQ42 is apparently more manageable since there are only so many ways you can screw-up an arcade shooter. Though Chris apparently is doing just that (screwing it up).

Aside from that, anyone who thinks that they're going to sit around until the bank account is empty, knowing they're never going to deliver a finished Star Citizen, really doesn't understand how these things work.
