Yes, I've said it in several places but again: no artificial structures in uncivilized areas, obviously! Including lanes.

Will the player be able to build those lanes ingame where they want them??

I know this has been brought up before, (I tried searching but only got a "too general" response from the search beast :cry: ) I was just wondering if anything has changed at all. Last I remember, which could by all means be wrong, multiplayer wasn't going to be included at all, due to the fact that...

First, the AI should be able to capture abandoned ships, and second, why not make it so certain solar systems have some kind of high energy field that, if a ship is not equipped for it, they shut down, kind of like a permanent EMP. Then ships with the proper equipment can go to those solar systems a...

Video/graphics are generated, so there aren't any graphic files, only code for that.

Unless my understanding is wrong.

to add onto those ideas, you could get to a certain point and another option would be to enable to mysterious worm hole to appear, entering it shoots you very very far away, many star systems away, all you have is your ship, you can try to find your way back, maybe your faction will be waiting for y...

Something I wanted to know was where NPC presence is, at the procedural generation of the universe? Does the universe generate at game startup? Or does it generate as you go to the individual systems? Then ontop of those questions, do the NPC start in the same star system as you do, and branch out, ...

Nope =(

Just wanted to know if there was any talk of abandoned ships being discovered, whether for salvaging and tech discovery, or for the taking to use as your own. And also, will it be possible to make other NPC abandon their ships for you to capture, out of them fearing death? (kind of like in X3, you s...

In terms of skill trees that are crazy, I think some of Path of Exiles older variations are awesome: http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/362/4/9/poe_skill_tree__by_jawsofhana-d4kgzrv.jpg They have changed them since that one, a simple google search will show you all the different ones. I personal...

I would say that the deaths of the NPC would be what keeps them from all just becoming super huge. And if the AI is smart enough, and that does happen, I feel like another faction at war with them would still be smart enough to figure out how to defeat them. Maybe by the time everything is said and...

Game looks awesome, but two things bugged me in the video, they're small things I think, but first would be that the animation for the lasers or beams from your weapons starts behind the turrets. What I mean is when you're shooting, the tail of the beam/laser appears before the front of the turret, ...

Could a player then start out a faction and make their own missions to "poach" other NPC from other Factions to come and work for them instead? By say adding a high reputation reward for doing something, if that's possible?

So from everything I'm reading from the dev logs, I had a few questions that I thought I would bring up, or see if I'm missing anything here. With the AI, from everything Josh has been describing, it seems like the AI thinks for themselves, which makes me wonder how the factions will work. Say a fac...
