SC News: 4.0 Wave 1 Incoming, IAE 2954 Ship Leaks

IM GONNA JUMP GODDAMNIT!

Shit's getting hot in SC right now, 4.0 is imminently going to be in Wave 1 EPTU and all the flight-ready ships have been leaked for IAE 2954 (and this weeks ISC teased at the return of Jax).

4.0 Wave 1, hey we may see 4.0 by end of year after all...

4.0 (the patch containing the next star system Pyro and the piece of tech the entire game hinges on Server Meshing) is entering Wave 1 (all features not implented fully public testing for those not aware).

Patch Notes (summarized):

Audience: Evocati (Wave 1 Imminent)
New Locations: Pyro, Colonial Outposts, Space Station Contested Zones, Asteroid Bases
AI Overhaul: Full Universe AI Animation, Audio, and Loadout overhaul.
Gameplay: Jump Points
Core Tech: Server Meshing V1, Mission System Refactor
Unfinished Updates (in but not ready for feedback): New Fauna (Space Cows), New Missions (Location Repair).

This is all that's planned for 4.0. If you didn't hear already they cut engineering and life support gameplay to meet the end of year deadline. If you ask me it was a good decision as frankly we will be just fine without those systems immediately but this whole project hinges on 4.0 coming out sometime soon. More content to come covering my impressions of Alpha 4.0.

IAE 2954 Leaks

It's that time of year again, IAE 2954 is right around the corner taking place on November 22nd and will include the return of Jax and his top-gear-esc show.

Onto the main course, What ships are coming out? As usual about 3-4 ships come out every year with 1-2 concept ships announced during IAE week. We don't know what concept ships are coming out but we do know every flight-ready ship coming this year, and it's quite stacked.
