If anyone played the X series, they would know how horrifyingly balanced everything is. Its too balanced. There is no way to get money to start without slogging through progressively harder and better paying missions, which increase your wealth by 5-10% each time. It takes forever to get a good ship...

All NPCs everywhere will be voiced by Josh using different tones.

I dont know if this is already in the game, but I think it would be awesome if your weapons ripped chunks out of enemy ships as they hit. So if you aimed for the engines with plasma weapons, there would be round melt hole damage, and solid slug weapons would cause chips and scrapes or puncture holes...

I dont know, a tech tree handicap might be too much. I think everyone should start that the bottom of the tech cylinder, but in a random position so the start will be different. Near the end all stuff will be researched so everyone's tech tree will be the same. i dont like the idea of everyone bein...

Is there an amount on kickstarter where you would hire more programmers/artists/etc? I would think the KS amount will be obscenely large at the end of the campaign, and hiring more people would really help the development.

Imo build a mechanical mine on the surface of an asteroid and gather stuff with it. You will have to pick up the ore manually or get a NPC to do the hauling. Smaller asteroids will have to be mined by ships.

I do like the idea (and it might or might not have something to do with my infatuation towards a specific Sifi series....) but i like the idea of a star trek teck tree. some people are more advance some people less so. and you start some where in the lower middle of it all (or as some suggested let...

Procedural generated tech tree: It would be hard, but I would like it. Actually generating a new web could be hard, but generating an new starting point might be easier. You would create a tech-tree in the traditional sense, then create one point that that faction learned. The player might be able ...

Also I want the ability to attach a bunch of asteroids together and make a really big space station that will keep expanding as I add more and more rocks to it.

Incoming barrage of questions :lol: What will be the extent of resource gathering in the game? Will there just be surface mines and asteroid mining ships? Can you build mines on really large asteroids? Can you tow asteroids to a planet or station where they will be mined quickly by a fleet of ships?...

Lol did you just copy the last one from Halo?

Will there be foot and vehicle traffic in the city? It would ruin the immersion completely of all cities were just rectangular blocks of different lengths sticking out into the sky. There needs to be life.

...Gangnam Style?

I think it would be awesome if you could build research bases on planets to improve the tech you already have or invent completely new stuff. Maybe have a procedurally generated tech tree to go along with it? What do you guys think?
