Was at the event at the Alter Wartsaal in Köln last night.
What a blast and what a team CIG are very open and friendly they all took time to chat with everybody. There was more than 1000 excited fans packed in the old waiting rooms at Köln train station, when Chris and his team came out we gave them a very loud and warm reception, the whole crew was quite stunned at the reaction we gave them. Speaking later with Rob Irving he was saying that normally he is hidden away and not used to this kind of limelight and he kept muttering about how awesome the fans were.
The reveal of the Hangar module started out with a bit of a falter with Chris inviting a single ship owner to come up and log in to see his ship in his hangar and the lad could not get the system to take his password, they were using a physical German keyboard and it was mapped to a US layout in windows and the lad could not get the special characters needed.
Then Chris Roberts tried to log in and failed too, he got the user name wrong. After that all went well and the Hangar module was well received by the crowd, the revision of the module was 20 minutes old and they all had their fingers crossed that it would not crash and it didn't. There are a few bugs in this current revision, none seem to be game stoppers tho.
Later after the talk we got to try out the different hangars and even to log in on Chris' machine to check out our own hangars.
