The “Inside Star Citizen Vision Revision” episode focused on the user interface of the game, particularly the futuristic lens and visor system. The episode highlighted improvements in HUD design, inventory management, and shopping processes, ensuring a smoother and more intuitive experience for players.
Zar was part of a team that organized a gaming event in Ottawa, capturing and streaming the action. Due to this, the release of “Inside Star Citizen Vision Revision” was delayed, but it did not affect the Star Citizen community. The episode focused on the user interface of the game, particularly the futuristic concept of a lens and visor system. The lens displays crucial information like status, gear, and missions, while the visor enhances the experience with dynamic layers of information. Different visors from various companies will have unique looks and features, akin to different smartphone brands.
The HUD design includes important information displayed higher up, with lower priority details like ammo count on the right. Mission objectives are animated for clarity, and an updated mini-map is now available. Opening the MobiGlas or using a terminal will adjust the HUD for better visibility and usability. Inventory management has been improved, with armor having its own page and hotkey for quick access. When looting, hovering over items provides extra options, streamlining gear management for players.
Shopping in the game has been enhanced, with a more fluid process and the removal of extra confirmation steps. The new push-and-hold system prevents accidental purchases, and individual or bulk buying options have been optimized for player convenience. The developers assure that these updates will provide the best user experience, making gear management and shopping smoother and more intuitive for players. Overall, the episode highlighted these interface improvements and emphasized that players will be pleased with the changes. Zar thanked viewers for their understanding of the delayed episode, wished them safe travels in the game world, and signed off with a promise to see them in the verse.
