Well, they have defined it in a post on the first page of this thread. There will always be the occasional ragequit, but from what I can understand, they intend to design the game around the idea that there will be less people quitting. Let's take an example: Me and a friend was exploring the...

A lot of new ships in the shops. Perhaps I should try to get one of my own designs in there, too bad wr can't earn any credits on it 🤔

Very nice. Gonna be looking forward to this hitting the main server.

That is indeed an interesting question. I thought our factory halls would be the place where this is assembled, and that it was an automated process where we didn't have to be present. I dunno wether that is true though. But that brings to mind what is the thought behind the atmosphere mining...

I think that is a quite obvious flaw right now, so I'm sure the devs are on it and will balance this in the future. Though market forces like this take a while to establish themselves, so I'm happy that they haven't jumped the gun and moderated ore prices every week since launch either.

Very happy about the craters being hot spots for ore. With such a vast area to be in, player interaction is too sparse, this will definitively be a good change to counter that.

I can see the problem with what I would call gankers can be. If they're so much stronger than the average player heading out there that they stand no chance, it will hurt the game, though perhaps a bounty system could help with that in the long run. But I also think the chance of running into...

Oh, I can see that. Maybe a solution could be found in looking if the plate had adjacent plates and give them a shared hitpoint pool up to a certain amount. Although, I have no idea how they program this stuff, they'll have much more insight in how to balance it than me. It's very easy being an...

What bugs me about the armour is that the smaller plates are basicly worthless as armour since they're penetrated by the first shot, thus making the most viable options being to try to design the whole ship around the largest plate, 432x432. I hope you are looking into that and are able to find...

Depends entirely on the ships weight. https://starbase.codes/ship_calc

I've built a ship that is almost done now, and when plating the last bits, I notice a tiny gap in the armour. I investigate the source and it seems I've had a small misalignment with one beam that has propagated through the whole ship. I've spent about 150hours designing this ship now, and even...

My take on it is that if you have a WC just above 1, not a lot should happen until it's below 1, and you run into trouble. Say you have a plate that is secured with a few bolts, if 1 bolt is shot off, it loses a bit of WC. If it needs 2 bolts to be above WC1, it could be useful to have 3 bolts...

Is this a one time thing, or is it like from now on we can apply to have it showcased in a ship shop? Will the designer see any in game monetary profit for this?

No

Aaaand it stopped working again...
