I feel it's some time ago since we last heard about Nyx. Back then it sounded like it was very close to being finished. Is Nyx still in the works, and if so when will we see it?asked by Liowin

TL;DRNyx will definitely appear, debuting in the Stanton system with procedural planets; its landing area is done and integration is under way, expected around 2.7 but without ArcCorp, aiming for this year.

Ah ha, well that's a good question. So you are definitely going to see Nyx. We are going to put it in, in short term the Stanton system. So you will see the landing environments like Nyx, all debuting with the procedural planets sort of iteration of Stanton so that's kind of what we've been working on which is one of the reasons why you haven't seen much updates. The landing area and environment is done, but now it's all about integrating it into the big huge star system and the whole, how it gets integrated into the planetary tech and how that streams as you arrive to it so it's all seamless, there's no loading screens.So we're all actually quite hard at work doing that so I think that's what you will be seeing, you'll basically see Nyx with 2.7 and then we'll carry on to expand beyond that. We won't have ArcCorp in with 2.7, but not too far past that, then you'll actually have ArcCorp where you'll go land on the planet in the system and not have to go to a separate load screen. So the whole goal to get to, you just enter the PU or the mini pu and you fly around between landing locations whether they're on planets, whether they're space stations and you do your missions, you trade, you make some money, upgrade your ship and that's the core game loop of course that we've talked about with Star Citizen. So we're working towards all that coming together by the end of this year.
