My computer that records sound separately from the video had a hiccup tonight so this video is a bit echo ridden. I am sorry. Good news, the computer is back up and next week sound quality will return.

Patch AC 1.1.4 is out. It is small and adds som Flair items and makes it easier for them to patch to v1.1.5 over the next week or so.

Travis and Chelsea are gone. I speak a bit about that tonight.

300 Series is free to play this week.

There is new Hangar lair coming. This time it is a piece of a Vanduul ship.

As always thank you for listening to and viewing my episodes.

This is a longer than normal Bensday. Ben gives some insight to his taking over Ship Design which is not coding but instead coming out with design ideas for the ships in the SC universe. While this sounds new, this is exactly what he has always done.

We also get into a disunion of how SC is developed.

This is then followed by user questions. I pulled questions from this list.

Brent Chessen

Can you give us an update on the economy model? also what are some of the commodities I will be hauling in the PU?

Brent Chessen

I have a self land hangar, when the PU opens would I be able to put that hanger in any system?

Wolf Gang

is there a possibility in the future of making the amount of ships we can see in our hangars larger. .it was cool when you could jump in ya buggy and fly past 10 or more ships! The Hangar just keep on going it was awesome !

Eddard Hawk

When the Merlin docks with its parent Connie, does it get refueled and rearmed upon docking? Same question for all the other large ships with a snub fighter.

Moose

Are they planning on giving the MIS freelancer a rear turret? The brochure and hangar ship have one, but the (I know I know) ship stat page does not. Thanks so much.

Firelance

"With the update pending to the 300 series, it seems apparent that Origin has a very limited line up of ships compared to other manufacturers such as RSI and Aegis, even though Origin is touted as one of the biggest ship manufacturers in the lore. Of its six existing ships, three are limited availability and four are derived from the same hull. Are their plans to expand Origin's lineup, such as a medium to large ship to compete in the Cutlass or Freelancer size range?"

Envoy

I purchased the “Hull-A-Palooza Pack” back in May. I noticed that unlike some of the other "big" combo packs ($1,000+ game packages) the “Hull-A-Palooza Pack” does not include a hangar, alpha access or starting money (it does include models & posters of each ship in the pack).

Was not including the extra items (hangar, starting money, etc) just a simple oversight or was this by design? Should this pack include a hangar at least - like the other concept sales?

Jump Debris

Does James know that placing his hat on top of a lamp during an interview can cause a fire resulting in him receiving a whack from the Ban Hammer?

Here is episode 31 of Bensday. Too many questions to go over. Just watch. Ben was amazing.

L E R I U M

Question 1 If we have a Banu Merchantmen, will we be able to have Vanduul customers?

Question 2 Will the Banu Merchantmen be spiky or smooth?

Pappy Boyington

Is the Vanguard able to land or take off from the Idriss.

Marcus "Impale-Man"

1. Will you be able to go into- and subsequently drop out of quantum in formation?

In the presentation, it looked like the Cutlass almost bumped into the Hornet

2. While the sheppard shuffle dance emote is a nice homage to a great game, it is also a crime to all things dancing. Would it be a fun minigame to find secret dance instructors on different planets for other dance emotes to collect them all?

Premium Shank

Will there be Left Handed SC Joy Sticks?

Notable Joe

Will the SC stick have twist?

BadDonkey

Will the pad be sold separately and be compatible with existing X sticks.

Yoko Rose

So Ben.... is it in yet ? e.g. female model

LordofGarnix

What I would like to know: IsQ-Drive scaleable? Can I approach a planet with say 10% Q-Drive Speed?

Because if not you get the problem like in Elite Dangerous, that planets feel much to small?

Omega_Tron1

CR said that players and orgs will be able to own factories. and that 10% of factories will be able to be owned by players or orgs. now is that 10% of 1 factory or out of all of factories 10% of them will be will be sold? like you have 100 factories will 10 of them will be sold?

Michel Williams

can you ask Ben on the next episode about the server situation. are there any updates as to what area/regions that will have them. EG USA Europe and Australia. etc...Lots of people ask me this when I talk to them about the game. thanks

DrJeffreyW

1 - There have been some small talk about the Glaive getting LTI added on instead of the 2 year insurance, do you think that will happen?

2 - In regards to the modules being sold now, will we be able to have them in our hangers and switch them out in-between missions?

As always thank you for listening to and viewing my episodes.

This week we delve into the Social Module, What's next and Ben, David and Davids trip to Atlanta for Dragon Con.

Here is the question list.

Premium Shank (CAKE IS PORTAL GAME REFERENCE)

1 - Is the cake a lie?

2 - Will we be able to link ships in a group to go through a Jump Point together, so they come out at the same point in space?

Jump Debris

Will we have an auto-pilot that we can set to follow another ship? What sort of commands do you envision?

Baddonkey

Something that wasn't really answered about the Tali modules. What kind of insurance does the Tali modules have - hull or equipment or is this a new kind of insurance?

Eddard Hawk

Can we set up our insurance to be automatically renewed (assuming enough credits are in our accounts) to prevent lapse of insurance so we won't accidentally lose our ships?

Captain Glume

Regarding the Retaliator JumpPod. Does the JumpPod seats lower to the ground/move down like the Conni's Cargo bay to allow easy exit of the passengers?

Does the cargo bays also raise and lower to deal with cargo?

Pappy Boyington (CLARIFICATION QUESTION)

Is the VANGUARD able to land or take off from the Idriss.

Yoko Rose

Will we be able to be a female pilot in SQ42?

The RedEye Channel

Ben said that they won't put an artificial limit to how many ships can fit in the idris and if you can fit it, you can fit it. Does that mean that we can assign landing positions in order allow auto-landing spots, or will there be absolutely no auto-landing spots in the idris and other hangars?

Tracy Player

If an unscrupulous cargo hauler decides to take a job hauling...let's say a few crates of military supplies e.g. weapons, armor, what's to prevent said crates from turning up missing and distributed to friends of this unscrupulous individual. Are there going to be safe guards built in to protect players from these types of exploits and if so what are they?

Marcus Perry

In the Gamescom multicrew demo, was the part of entering through a hull breach and floating towards gravity control a scripted event like the Idris flyby?

Here is episode 33 of Bensday. Thank you so much for your support!

Bensday with Batgirl and Ben episode 34

After a week of heavy school work and a long week at work I was able to sit down with Ben Lesnick and ask some of your questions. INN will have the detailed transcript tomorrow so you know what we spoke of. Ben is still amazing to give me the time he does as his job is so much more than community manager.

As always thank you for listening to and viewing my episodes.
