This misses my point by a country mile. Of course they want feedback. But how they choose to respond to that feedback, and prioritise their road map will be entirely commercially driven, and will have very little to do with a vocal few on these forums or server numbers.

Yes, you're absolutely right. Of course they want your feedback. Having that many testers in your game, who have paid for the opportunity to play it during early access, it would be crazy for them not to. But how they choose to respond to that feedback, and prioritise their road map will be...

From a commercial point of view, they already have your money. It's not so important whether existing players stay or play on, than it is they can fix things enough to attract new buyers in the medium to long-term, and then again when 1.0 is released. What weight they put into the effect...

I do agree with this statement. But I would add that industrialists and builders form similar long term relationships. There are many who prefer to build, and develop factory systems which feed an economy. My friends and I are a case in point. As with most things in life a balance needs to be...

Just my pennies worth... Me: I was lucky enough to play the closed Alpha as well as the current version on Steam. In no particular order.... Bans - I totally support the current FB strategy on enforcing current terms, and sincerely hope this continues with the same vigor now and into the...

can you make money - yes there are jobs to start you off The jobs are basic introductions to core game mechanics, and are not intended to be a grind to earn the sums needed to build and buy significant items/ships. You can only sell basic ores and the economy is in a placeholder state. You...

Again, I agree with this. I push a slightly controversial view that the mining mechanic also remains unfinished, as there are gameplay aspects which will need pressure testing in a wider audience. The lack of any kind of ore scanner seems broadly accepted amongst the vocal, but I suspect the...

I agree. This game is not ready for early access at all. The bugs and issues described are exactly what you would expect in an Alpha build, but much needs to be done before it is open alpha or beta ready. The economy system is not functioning other than in a placeholder state The ship builder...

This. If we take naval warfare as an example, the mass of the weapon, and the ammunition and support services required to support it, plus the handling of the vessel all led to decisions and compromises on size, caliber, and maneuverability. This is not represented in the current meta. Applying...

Hi all, me again! If I wish to explore far from any outpost, there will come a time when I need to log off without being able to return to the safe zone. I understand that my endo disappears. But what happens to my ship? Did it remain? Is it vulnerable? If so, is there a technique for deep...

Traveling 50km from Origin you leave safe zone. I have yet to test the other axis limits.

Thank you

Where do you go to mine outside of the safe zone? Not wishing to lose my shiny ship instantly, it would be handy to understand where is best to attempt to move outside the safe zone. I see warp gates but don't know where they go. How do you find asteroids outside the safe zone? Do you go to...

Thank you.

Miner and budding builder seeking to upgrade from starter ship. Browsing the shiny new ships there's lots I don't fully understand yet. Eg Some so called cargo ships don't appear to have any storage Frame looks like a suspension field but no clue how to use it, and why Mining laser looks fun but...
