I get the frustration, but the latest suggestions seem to be: We should drop massive mechanics we have worked for over year now, and which are currently on PTU testing (ie. actually getting completed!) We should fix the game immediately, but not with with the stuff which is soon coming out...

The siege time works in two parts: the defenders get to choose time slots which suit them (like certain days and certain timeframes during those days), and attacker gets to choose the exact siege start time from within those time slots, with the minimum charge time taken into account. The...

Some hotspots will be more rare than others, but regardless how the rare hotspots are guarded some of them will be conflict drivers. It's not like we are forcing people to go after very minimal amount of places, there will be room for everyone. But some aress will attract more people and drive...

Possible solutions to the grind Stations outside permanent safe zone can have atmo pumps. Leave the pump on, build large enough docks to it, and fly capital ship straight in to collect your ore. Build more of these stations, collect more ore. Just remember to fight off any sieges trying to...

That's the plan, we'll either do not add it to live or wait until inventory v2 (and item crates) are done. Loadouts and automatic pocketing of stuff when using respawn stations to transfer have been thought, but they will be in later versions.

The core need is interaction. For interaction we need reasons and places. Size of the world is a common method to achieve this, but it's not the only option. We need to encourage trade, cooperation and wars, with everything being reachable for everyone in both time distance and progression. And...

This thread is now turned into a shouting match, which has only two arguments being repeated. I'm locking the thread and also asking that people would refrain from opening the same discussions in other threads or other channels moderated by us.

Thanks for thought-out suggestion, it's always refreshing. Some random comments: Item crates are coming first, racks are still undecided The original item backpack actually was planned to have three visible slots (two long weapons and one large slot), and the back slot even was visibly working...

Capital ships support individual station parts (even already). However, the interface currently doesn't make sense, and we are middle of combining the two different in-world building systems to one fun to use system. We'll also add the separate parts categories under capital ships as well. The...

Current PTU setup is just a random first setup; we'll do a lot of adjusting and balancing before hitting live. The plan is to have all mining zones worth for something (moons and belts), with proper hotspots and sometimes also hotspots with unique ores (like craters now on first moon). Moon...

I think it falls under combat balance, which currently is non-existent due to not enough test cases (ie. needs proper sieges to see what we'll need). What I can already tell is that there's the support to build defences (ie. to weld stuff to stations under siege), and the deathbox/lootbox...

Thanks for a well thought out summary of the current issues, I couldn't agree more. The good news is that I believe we have solutions for all the major issues lined up in the roadmap (and even to a few issues not listed here). I'll give some examples: Crafting will be possible via factories...

We have some neat ideas how to make the damage/armor system much better, but as you can see we have a lot of things to do before we get there.

Ship blueprint saving for any ships (including EBM and in-world modified) is soon done, and we have also station blueprint planned. However, the fact that station blueprint needs a lot of work is not since EBM but since siege tech changed a lot of how the underlying tech works. SSC for stations...

We have a ton of technical, visual and gameplay features planned or already in work, which will effectively allow much larger stations, much better looking stations and also guide the meta a lot more than just cramming a massive grey box there. Ships didn't remain as EBM ships and stations will...

It's true that the overall big picture has not yet been presented. First reason for this is that we are still working on some details, and I've noticed that the details will be something people demand right away, even if the overall big picture would be presented. Second reason is that it seems...

Alloys indeed are needed for capital ships. However, the alloy furnace has been under work for already quite some time, it's actually hitting PTU in the upcoming weeks. Alloy furnaces and capital ship overall progress can be seen from previous notes...

The development order is tech first, which is quite the opposite. If we would create features without having technology to back them up then we would be doing it in backwards order. The destruction part is vast majority of the feature, and now that we have been able to verify that it works it's...

That is indeed incorrect; there is room for many attacking capital ships.

In addition to selling, they also allow claiming wrecks (ie. salvage) and stealing ships. While you can already steal ships, the deed allows to transfer more of the possession of the ship to yourself. (for example some of the despawn rights)
