If Derek even hints at knowing the name of the upcoming ship, they will most likely scramble to rename it just to head off any possible chance of him being right. Your suggestion wouldn't really fly in their paranoia and eagerness to prove him wrong .

He doesn't even have to SAY what the prediction is - he posts

code:

807098f0c8cee85292026d0e94168bdbfb05299899494a8e38a41fce2e97aa3d

On twitter. Then after the Scimitar goes on sale for $1250 LTI, he notes that's the SHA-256 hash for 'The next ship will be named the Scimitar.' - which is instantly verifiable.

Why the gently caress would you even salt something like "This is Derek Smart saying the next ship will be called the Litigator" ? - that poo poo ain't going to be in a rainbow table somewhere. I mean you can literally salt it by adding a period, this isn't like "uh oh what happens if the DB gets hacked a week from now and a million user password hashes get leaked" - it's a unique string with a 1 week deadline.

You'd think they'd want to avoid the word 'Con' right now. But reworking the intro graphics to their demo would probably take them three weeks.

Because he doesn't understand the purpose of a salt. From his wording, he may even think it's some way to reverse the hash.

Literally the first intelligent thing you've said in this thread. Congratulations, there might be hope for you yet.

Waiting for the announcement that in order to deliver the most detailed possible images of concept ships, they've invented a new image compression format.

Every time the camera cuts the timer gets reset to 50:00 something until someone makes it go back to <10

People not dedicated to making this game shouldn't be on the team.

Derek Smart: Please go make a big empty void map with NINE SEXTILLION CUBIC KILOMETERS OF SPACE just to trump this, tia.

Someone clarify for me here, uh, isn't Persistent Universe supposed to be some like online MMO that's partially player-driven?

This sounds a lot like WoW - just an endless "OH NO PIRATES ARE ATTACKING, YOU CAN REPEAT THIS MISSION IN 24 HOURS" slog. Does nobody else notice this?

KILOMETER PER SECOND: You will literally hit the edge of PU space in under 3 minutes.

Look at the lag on a FOUR PLAYER server.

Nah, this'll handle 64 people fine.

Hahaha look at the clever jumps to avoid like "terrible boarding animations that don't exist" and other stuff.

They are being SO CAREFUL about every little thing here - because I imagine if you hit that landing pad a LITTLE HARDER - poo poo will go real bad real quick.

The universe is so big and vast that literally the first named ship in the S42 trailer is the system name from the PU demo.

I like how as soon as you aren't looking directly at someone they run to the far end of the room and whisper to you.

Ok so that's nowhere near complete but this is totally coming out in 2016.

In case anyone missed it, that line in Bishops speech about victory was Croberts trying to channel some Churchill but coming down flat. Here's what the real thing sounds like.

Line? The entire speech is basically something I'd expect from a 14 year old trying to mimic Gladiator.
