I am very excited. Also worried. And slightly hungry. Mostly excited though! Also happy, so this is all on topic.

Turtle!

I really enjoy the gameplay involved in isolating something and building the perfect defensive complex.

Had to post cause the "gigathread" image made me chuckle. Gigathread indeed!

Happy New Year folks!

which do you favor when they're in conflict, simulation or mechanics? My hope for LT would be that in a universe that is infinite this conflict shouldn't arise. I would not expect to be able to jump into any system in the universe and "win" in the sense of my business ventures succeeding in that pa...

As for rubberbanding - in an infinite (or near infinite) playspace, if the heat gets too hot, get out of the kitchen as they say. If an NPC is too powerful, then migrate away. So long as the player has the option of retreating to safety, and has the capability to harvest and directly use raw materi...

2) No matter what, someone will complain about it. I couldn't agree more with that! :D So if Josh built the LT economy using the faucet/drain model, might some players consider that an artificial strengthening of the economic AI of NPCs? After all, it would basically let them "win" an economic game...

(I sure do miss these types of conversations on this board!)

None of this should relate to LT. One of the emerging pillars of the game was that the AI players would have the same tools and opportunities as the player. AI players would differ from each other in their goals, and in their skill in meeting those goals. There shouldn't be any "artificial" weakenin...

Yes, I remember talk about this sort of thing in the dev logs as well. AI players could put bounties out on factions, such as a pirate faction hurting shipping, and you would get payment for destroying or damaging ships. If I recall correctly that dev log also talked about ideas for how the informat...

Has anyone rewatched the last dev video lately? I must admit that it made me pretty unhappy to see just how polished looking and promising the game was at that time, and then to realize it has been torn apart. It was even worse because I got all excited again for a little bit...

For me, this isn't a monetary thing. It's a vote of no confidence. I can stand to lose $30, but I hate supporting devs who don't do right by their community. I was a huge fan of Josh, and am still a huge fan of his vision of Limit Theory as a philosophy. But, that philosophy is not bearing fruit, a...

You could have just mentioned the trademark stuff (actually relevant) and left the rest of it out. Agreed. I find the spirit of HolyAvengerOne's p...

I'm in the "rather not see crewmembers" camp. Any advantages that a crewmember could potentially lend to manning a gun or shield generator or whatever could easily and simply be included by just saying that I was upgrading my targeting or shield management AI. As much as I love Star Trek I don't fin...

Any transaction done in this manner is still on shifty ground in my opinion. That article simply states that electronic signatures can be legally binding in the USA. So a buyer and seller draft a simple contract and e-sign it, then the buyer sends some money to the seller and sits on the contract un...
