Welcome to the 52nd Livestream Multiplayer test for Rank: Warmaster. The original stream was on Twitch ( http://www.twitch.com/rankwarmaster ) but I recorded the video in 4k60 for Youtube. There hasn't been a livestream for a while because the changes have been small and incremental and I didn't think it was worth a livestream. However, at this point there are a LARGE amount of small updates. The biggest visual change is all the buildings have been updated with PBR and emissive striping, so they are far more striking. Another big update is Steam integration, which includes invite multiplayer, UPNP, and achievements. Some of the ships have been updated as well. There are a series of small things:
-Turrets are now useful
-all of the Nav screen can now be used (ie. clicked on)
-tool tips have been added to the Quick Designer
-Both the flight and Basics tutorial are now done
-There have been a lot of updates around the dialogs in the tutorials to make them more useful and friendly.
-Objectives are now shown with a flash
-You can now create groups via CTRL and a number key to create groups, that can be selected with a single number press (and double press to center)
-Loading a game goes straight to the screen it was saved at, and no long have to click resume to start the game.
-Mouse wheel support for the text lists in the game.
-The OST for Rank: Warmaster is available!
-Lots of other smaller updates that you can read about in their entirety with all the updates on the Steam News pages!
