I suppose this is the most relevant topic to bump instead of creating a whole new thread. Anyways, I was wondering how Josh might choose to represent faction territory in the LT universe. We know that systems are infinate and self contained and that these systems connect to other systems. This means...

One does not simply mine LTBucks. They must be earned through the achievement of honorable tasks.

Getting screenshots from the beta, and Twitch live streaming will help generate hype. During this time I'd hope that LT would get displayed on Steam Greenlight so it can be quickly greenlit. If LT is greenlit before launch then Josh could prevent purchases until the game is ready to go live. Other s...

Also, this is kinda off topic, but is the movement lock on you ship on the planet surface hard-coded into the engine or subject to modification? It would be so cool if mods could allow ships to run over the planet surface. Cool uses like Trench runs and races await. :D Nothing but the physics engin...

Regardless of how good the game is when it comes out, I wonder if it could compare with the experience it has been to watch and contribute to the development of LT. :squirrel: It might, through modding in features that the community would like to see. The experience of making mods with LTSL will al...

I'm fairly certain that this was indeed the shortest dev blog to date. I'm sure good things are coming.

Isn't viewforum.php?f=28 the sub-forum for modding?

Interesting idea, sounds like it would be difficult to make though.

We might. Seeing the new and improved ship editor in action will be nice and it may bring more people here. Perfected graphics will also likely bring in a crowd. I hope all of the HUD elements will be functional in this update. Entering November things should be clicking together quite quickly so th...

Tank battles: Using the terrain generated when a player lands on a planet, the player uses land based hover tanks to fight for territory. The player attempts to destroy military targets within the city in order to secure the city's resources. (Think of a RTS with sci-fi tanks being deployed from a c...

Nebula are looking great again, the ships are taking shape, and the entirety of LT can be modded using a scripting language!

This is an exciting time to be alive!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrFoesW ... g&index=14 Update 7 from the 8 minute mark on answers your question. I'd say it's definitely related, but it doesn't really answer the question. The mechanics he outlines are those I had in mind when I posited the problem above: unless the game is capable...

The ship in 48.png is my favorite out of the bunch. There's something about the skinny front and hefty back that just works for me. Adding a little more weight to the back sides of the ship might help overall appearance. All in all thought, these are great to see! Keep up the awesome work Josh!

Here are two HD versions of Talvieno's picture I decided to make.

Here's the original, Bfett. It's from the HD version of the last dev video. You can still see quite a bit of color banding. http://img.ie/09o36.png http://img.ie/pqzds.png I changed a lot. =p That's very good work you did there. If you do choose to make it larger I'll be applying it as a desktop ba...
