im thinking Dwarf-fortress death mode. wherein you die comeback as someone else (or load a old save) and explore your system from another perspective with a growing history (lore) filled with things the other incarnation of you did. you would have a whole new reputation funds ship basically a brand ...

this describes more the flight mech used in star citizen. in LT i think were going for more expected all or nothing system.
IE ether your engines are working or they are offline. your shields are fine or they are gone. ect.

Not to mention it will ruin the character of a lot of systems. Seedy backwater space station orbiting a dead desert planet with no atmosphere? Nope, every place is a paradise. sounds perfect to me. :D as for terraforming being a feature...ill pass perhaps in lt2 if its a feature a lot of people are...

ive pledged on the black friday buddy pack. mostly be cause i wanted to play the game with my little brother (i know its not multiplayer and am fine with that I look forward to LT2) i none of the higher tiers offer multi pack deals that appeal to me.so upping my donations not likely. I love the new ...

So are you saying limit the crew interaction be towards whether or not a ship would mutiny? i.e. you hit upon some hard times and can't pay their wage? Anything beyond this, I see as getting a bit too far away from the original concept of LT, unless I'm misunderstanding something? im saying that co...

Now as for all engines getting destroyed...it's still not clear to me how I want to handle it in the case of the player. Indeed, it would seem you would need a tow, but that adds a lot of complexity. I'm not sure how to handle this one elegantly yet... we believe in you you can do it XD. I have to ...

considering your looking to the goals as much (more so in some aspects) I think it safe to say we will eventualy se most of all of these make it into the game at some point. perhaps like minecraft we will get the ( x-feature name here) update and relearn LT all over again with the new features. XD

if a small systems taken down you can limp to the next repair shop. if your engens get blown out id figure youd need a tow ship (an ally perhaps) to come bail you out. unless your ship had the capability to preform its own repairs or your in a larger carrier ship and had a smaller repair ship availa...

only way a planet should be able to rebel (say limit this to higher dificulty settings) is if you took the planet by force. i dont see a planet that views you as a savior would rebel.

I always wished for this type of ability in Homeworld. You could declare basic formations, but the ships still often times did what they wanted. I found tactical patterns that worked well against specific ship classes and I would try to repeat them as needed. Trying to get your ships on all sides o...

i dont see the issue let crew interaction be on a RPG level. where in speaking with your crew builds loyalty and might unlock information your crew knows about. i dont see why a good piolet that you hire would lose 25% of his IQ. make it RPG and have it not touch actual AI efficiency. if your crew d...

in which case youd be free to largely ignore it without catastrophic disaster. but some of us (myself in particular) and looking forward to seeing just how robust the ai system turns out to be.

btw, the same thing basically happens in Minecraft too when it comes to enchanting thanks for making this comparison. I think it fist this situation quite well actually. in minecraft you can improve your weapons and tools and armor at cost but they get very nice upgrades. are you hurt by not gettin...
