NYX

[icycalm]

Levski, Nyx's sole landing zone, was demonstrated fully working in last year's CitCon, so first of all don't miss that presentation I've timestamped.

It's a station built in a borehole on an asteroid. Doesn't get any more unique than this. And it's a lawless system so we'll need a Pirate Commander for it. And we'll need him soon because it's almost certain we'll get the system before the end of the year. Some people even hope we'll get it in PTU at CitCon. Either way, it's coming fast, so watch the video to prepare, and I'll keep us up to date with news and rumors like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/co ... _datamined

NYX SSN voice reports have been datamined...

Jared voicing some news reports talking about a faction smuggling Vanduul bodies in from Nyx.

Becoming a lot more apparent they may pull another Pyro and shove Nyx into a final patch for year's end...

Nyx borders Vanduul space and gets Vanduul raids, and all this ties nicely with the downed Blade and the cage in the Onyx Facilities in Dark Territory. It makes sense for the plot to lead to Nyx.

Amazing stuff. A TV show you can play.

Nyx's landing zone, Levski, used to be in the game many years ago. It was placed in Stanton to test it, and because back then they didn't have sufficient tech to build it on an asteroid as in the lore, they built it on a moon. Then they took out Levski and the moon I think about a year or so before we started playing three years ago. And I think they chose to take it out at that point because that's when they completed Stanton with all four planets and landing zones. And btw they are called landing zones because in the original design document, as in CR's older games, there wouldn't have been any FPS, there would only be spaceship mechanics, and when you arrived at a location that was accessible the game would basically turn into a point-and-click adventure game within that "landing zone". Then when they figured out how to render entire planets in CryEngine they still kept the landing zone moniker even though now you can land anywhere there is... land.

So Levski is a landing zone much loved and missed by the community since it was in the game for years, and there is quite a bit of material on it online, the best of which I plan to collect and post here before CitCon so we can catch up to what existed before the stunning update seen in last year's presentation I linked in the OP. And we might as well start with a decade-old preview that rocks so hard despite its age that it still blows away practically any game released this year. After all, no such landings are possible in the megahit Dune: Awakening.

Scale, art, music: everything is perfect.

In some ways it's more dilapidated than Pyro, but in others it's less. They're communists lol. You can also tell by the name. I mean the station name that's Russian, not the system name. That's Greek.

There's a wealth of video footage from Levski back when it was temporarily placed in Stanton. For many players, it was their favorite landing zone. So I figured it would be cool if I posted some of these videos here so we can look at them and be able to compare to the updated Levski when it's shown on Saturday at CitCon. But first, let's listen to Pedro Camacho's Levski music.

I am sure that Pedro will have composed tons of new music specifically for the system as he did for Pyro's launch. I am especially wondering about the Vanduul raids, because he's never composed for the Vanduul before since all Vanduul music has been in Squadron 42 up till now and is being handled by Geoff Zanelli. Will they bring in Zanelli's music, or will Zanelli compose new tracks, or will Pedro do it? We'll know soon enough. I think they even have a second composer for the Persistent Universe, so three composers overall, at the least.

Moving on, here's the air traffic controller, who was apparently beloved and whose lines are being expanded/reworked according to CIG teases and leaks.

That guy sounds EXACTLY like I'd imagine the guy who runs the hangars for the People's Alliance to sound.

It's hilarious, he sounds like a pothead. You can even see his face in the MFD! I think CIG is currently working on bringing this to all landing zones, going by teases and leaks.

And now the landing zone footage. Remember that the exterior was shown at last year's CitCon to have been entirely reworked, and you can see the updated version in this thread's OP. It's mostly the interior that will carry over to some extent, as far as I understand. In any case it's good to see everything, including outdated footage, to get a feel for CIG's development progression.

And no, I haven't watched all of them, but I will right before CitCon on Saturday, if not earlier. By the time I've gone through all the footage it will be almost as if I had played the location at the time, and I'll be ready to be fully blown away and fully experience the update reveal.

There's more footage out there than what I've posted, so be sure to link it here if you find it, even after CitCon. I don't think we're getting playable Levski for at least a couple of months anyway.
