With the size of the rooms, I'm sure it's possible for modders to generate several "systems" in a single sector, and get the desired wormhole-free effect.

So, we're playing Planetary Annihilation with Limit Theory? Awesome. Couldn't a modder could create a new asteroid object that acts like a ship but looks like an asteroid, and then generate those instead of normal asteroids, or throw some into the belts? And if that works, might it not be possible t...

5 more days... stick it out, guys! We'll all get through this! Breathe!

Also, no fixed storyline or even procedural storyline beyond what happens through AI interaction.

I'd love to see a mod that expands AI personalities and relationships, giving them backstories and chronicling their exploits. Something that could make the AIs feel more like real people, with hopes and dreams and histories.

I did have two words shoot across my mind, but it wasnt faction flags, it was Pareidolic Icons Those should be stupidly easy with LTSL My other thought was when he tried to render 3d volumes in a 2d space... Why the hell cant you have a 3d icon? Especially when you can have a hologram of your ship ...

Also, there's no dev group beyond Josh and a few people he hired for art and sound.

And it has such flowing and glorious names as Srbobuscant Prime. Truly my favorite vacation system; the nebulas are beautiful.

Actually, this would be a really cool thing to see in the next dev update. Since Josh has said he's got all the LTSL implemented to make real PCG systems, I'd love to see this come together in the next week or so.

How would you get your start in super-villainy in the real world and be able to keep that status? Go into engineering/CS, design a Von Neumann bot, and send it into the asteroid belt to reproduce and stick engines on a number of large asteroids. If all goes as planned, I can then hold the world hos...

Hey, Josh- with NPCs and planets, can we see the NPCs fading into the atmosphere or some other equally cool visual transition? Disappearing and reappearing NPCs sounds really jarring.

That makes a lot of sense, actually. Even the presidents of nations and governors of cities don't have free access to their entire economies at will; they have to buy stuff like everyone else. Of course, you can always remove free trade, but even then a lot of the resources could go towards maintain...

I'd love for cities to dynamically reflect the conditions of the planet. If it's rich from a recent trade boom, shiny new buildings everywhere. If it's recently colonized, short squat houses in an unfamiliar atmosphere; maybe some greenhouses dotted around. If a massive battle just occurred overhead...

Your nose?
