You can keep quoting that until you're blue in the face but it doesn't change the fact that most people are going to expect a somewhat playable game for the price of Starbase, and they ain't getting that. Nor will they for a very long time. Especially as the core issues of the gameplay are not...

To a point yes, but if the road map is leading into a dead game, maybe it's time to look at doing something else? because honestly no one I know that played this game thinks any of the up coming stuff on the road map is going to address the core issues of the game. It's slow and boring and it...

There is a distinct difference between a game being better played with others, and a game required to be played with others. Forcing everything to be PvP active at all times around everything is pushing firmly towards solo playing being impossible.

Because having one, even large faction trying to setup and defend a defacto safe station would be dog piled and you know it. PvPers would see it as an affront and would do constant wave tactics to destroy it or drive if off. dev enforced is literally the only viable option.

So rather than fixing BPs so they can be bought and sold correctly, you're exacerbating the problem by expanding the pool of designers that are going to be butthurt when the BPs get out? Seems like a great idea.

That really should have absolutely no bearing on the issue but they have made the... decision it does in this game.

Cool, except you only get BPs one of the three ways you can build a ship right now. Use either of the two other methods and you're starting over with zero. And that is NOT the way it's supposed to be. The fact you three seem to think that is fine and dandy for a game is a big part of why these...

Solely? No, PvP isn't the sole reason, but it is part of the reason. When someone spends 50 to 60 hours working on a ship and then realizes it can be blown to shit within seconds once they leave the safe zone, and depending on what route they took building their ship, they may have to start over...

I haven't played for long, only since the Steam release and even then, not for all that long because everything in this game is just to damn fragile. Someone talked about modern armor in this thread, but that isn't even needed. The entire reason tanks became a thing at ALL was because even a few...

A lack of a corordinate system is one thing, the only nav tools being transponders or a bargain basement GPS is an entirely different beast.

And that is something that absolutely needs to be done if they change it so when you buy one you get access to the BP, but I also think that the game would be WAY better off for it. I just think it's doing the game more harm than good when it allows people to buy ships purchasers then can't...

1) IRL isn't a game about building ships. 2) if you don't want your design to be modified and reused, don't sell or upload the BP to the in game store. My entire argument about this BP issue has to do solely with ships in the ship store as it currently functions. If they fix BPs to have some...

I apologize then, I didn't realize that was developer supported.

Unless something was set to change, you still wouldn't get anything out of it once they get BPs working? I'm not saying I condone what was done but the only thing that has changed in any way is that the BP isn't locked for the users who bought them. I'm of the opinion that is the default way it...

The reason smaller dev teams don't bother with that stuff is b/c it's a full time job in and of itself. So do you want another dev making changes to the game or someone taking up a seat just writing documentation?

I will just say, that for anything bought from the store that isn't a dev ship, don't ever take it outside the SZ. Because you cannot save your work and will have to do it all again if it gets lost or destroyed since you cannot save any changes to the BP.

IDK about coldiceEVO, but what I'm saying is that it should be JUST like the dev ships. You as the designer gave up your rights to the design once you upload it to be used in the NPC store.

I get that entirely, I just don't understand why if you're not getting anything out of it as the designer anyway, why are you so opposed to purchasers getting full use of the BP? I do think that copy cats should be barred from adding their "variant" to the store, but I think trying to stop...

I'll be honest, I really don't get this hardline stance on ship blueprints. Sure you created them, and you should get credit, but in a game where one of the main activities is building ships, being hard locked from saving any modifications to the ship I'm flying to be able to easily replace the...

Did either of ya'll actually READ what Lauri said?! They talked about restocking SZ rocks ONLY, nothing outside it. The very thing you're saying is fine?
