It might be more interesting to have developers dictate where the construction happens, but leave it to players to supply the resources. That way each gate is a long term project that allows players to work towards something (and obstruction issues will be dealt with).

I quite like the idea, since it would allow for a new decision aspect for designing and also for operating ships. I have three questions though: 1) Would Titan asteroids, moons and Planets be represented in the warp space (even if not as an obstacle, but as a ghost shape) to inform players if...

so it is not really possible to have a hybrid between powered and unpowered operation for the same hinge unless you want a plan B in case of power failure (wanted to get this out so you don't stand there wondering why the handle doesn't work)

so long as there is no electricity supplied to the hinge, as it will be locked otherwise

It could either be that the station needed to be loaded from its low level of detail state to correctly work or it was an issue with building permissions and leaving and entering the safezone caused the server to update you

Most of the criticism you wrote can be compressed into a simple reason: The game has not been build up enough (answer to 1, 2, ~3, 4 and ~5). You don't go from 0 to a hundred in a single step. Many games have all their development behind closed doors, so the state that SB is currently in never...

two is easy to balance. and there is, in theory the option to not go with either. And if they still have the plan to eventually have player factions it is not really advisable to spread players too much

I would like them to be placed in a way that gives reason to fly by Markka. And in terms of visiting... you could have a recruitment center (or something) that gives you access to an Insurance Transfer Point (or an actual teleport with no future limitation on inventory transfer) to the...

I think the thing with the investor was a rumor, based on what LJarja wrote over in the steam discussions (in "PLS, this is usk of my soul!"). If I take what was said at face value, I would say they had planned to use a set budget to get the game into a state where they could drum up a marketing...

Essentially they now know how to restore their server infrastructure, next they want to know why it's failing, so if you happen to mine and suddenly it is not working (despite you not moving away) please be kind and share what you were doing, so they can make the servers more robust.

They managed to intentionally break and fix their internal servers (according to some dev comments in the steam discussions). We will see if that translates over to live in the next few days.

Shields are a bit of a sore topic in SB. Yes, they make ships durable, but on the flip side they remove the need for solid design and combat becomes a static slugfest of who can exhaust the enemies shield first instead of chipping away at each other until one gets disabled. It also lowers the...

Look at the top of the roadmap: Refineries Converting gas into different materials Furnaces that smelt salvage into gas So it is "planned" but as we haven't seen anything on it yet don't expect it anytime soon.

The SSC was intended to be part of a construction loop, with the blueprint projectors and what not. The current problem simply stems from the SSC being polished, with the rest of the game not being where it should be to relieve the SSC from its status as the de facto ship printer. I even wrote...

just use a different nozzle/body combination and you get anything between T1 and T3 thrust. Problem is common sense dictates that you can't actually make everything out of one material. You can make a look-alike, yes, but a working machine for example requires structure material and anything...

If the SSC being the best part of the game is a problem... why not polish the rest of the game up to the point where the activities are similar in quality. As far as I can tell, the BP system is the only way of actually progressing currently, as flying, mining and fighting gets you only so far...

And if we can expect anything it will probably be small things here or there, possibly even just as placeholders.

And as for the reason: It is easier to implement a whitelist as a placeholder system than it is to implement a group-based one.

I would vote against an official role for helping players, as that is enough "power" to make some people drunk with it, more so if it is remunerated. Having public help forums and possibly an improved chat range for station chat on origin is probably better.
