In part two of Inside Star Citizen: Arena Reborn, they discuss the importance of FPS combat in Arena Commander as a way to practice shooting without the consequences of dying in the persistent Universe. The team has been working on fixing bugs and frustration in existing maps, as well as introducing new maps like Echo 11 to enhance the gameplay experience. They also talk about the introduction of experimental modes, which allow for playtesting and getting new features into the hands of players more quickly.
One of the experimental modes is single weapon elimination, where players start with pistols and test the weapon balancing. This mode ensures that everyone has an equal playing field and allows the team to gather feedback. Another mode, called Gun Rush, allows players to start with a pistol and upgrade their weapon with each kill. They get to experience different types of guns and gain proficiency with them.
Tonk Royale is another experimental mode that brings ground vehicles into Arena Commander. It features three locations: Hurston, Yellow, and Magna. Players can engage in classic elimination deathmatches, squadron battles, and potentially a hardcore elimination mode with a single life. Finally, the team mentions the racing refactor, which allows for faster map creation and merges the racing systems in the persistent Universe and Arena Commander. They are also working on a betting module for players to bet on races.
The episode concludes by acknowledging the hard work of the Arena Commander feature team and thanking them for their efforts. They express excitement for sharing the developments in Arena Commander and tease more surprises that are yet to be revealed. The episode ends with a reminder to check out last week’s show for more information on upcoming features.
