I think AI should be equal to the player when it comes to combat skills, economics, and preferably death. I believe the AI should be able to hire the player for a task, or else pay the player for existing as long as the player executes a command when the command is given. The player should also be c...

The player will be able to design ships in the game. I believe it has been said that these ships would be able to populate the game as well.

Don't forget about the Pizza looking ships.

I'm all for participating in a future ship building contest when the time comes!

All Death Stars are the size of a small moon, Death Stars are Space Stations, thus "That's no moon it's a space station!" "It's to big to be a space station."

Assuming that most of the game features are going to be editable the day it is purchased I don't see the reason why LT should ever be completely Open Source. What do you plan to do with the LT source code that you can't do with the data editor?

I usually play games that have save features as if they didn't have saves. The only problem with this is that I am forced to reload after my character dies or something else causes the game to end. I prefer game mechanics that allow the player to continue forward with the consequence of their action...

... Should characters in LT be able to get better at something by doing it? For a game in which NPC AI is as clever as it appears LT will have, letting one character be better than some other character at 1-3 things because she's been doing it most of her adult life seems reasonable. That's a very ...

Immersion and continuation of the universe seems like a big deal. The universe is procedural and unique so I'm more concerned about preservation of the universe as a whole compared to me as a player. Just like it will be designed to function alone, before the player starts, it will function alone a...

Let me make my statement a little more clear . Although, I like Cornflakes' answer better. No, you didn't oversimplify it. You just have a hook to listen to the game, then something to extract that data and send it across the pipe, then inject it back into the game. Repeat ad infinum. +3 especially...

I wouldn't be surprised if someone adds LAN support a few months after LT releases. It's just a matter of the right person with the right skills getting the game and having the ability to modify or add to the correct areas of the code. :silent: Oops, I made that sound way to simplistic didn't I. :?

If a moon was four times larger in diameter than the height of the current space stations I'd have no problem with it. I think of a moon in LT being about 1/4 to 1/12 the size of a planet.

Does anyone know how the ship,station and formation editors are coming along. We haven't really heard a lot about them since the tech demos. What about the warp planes? Are they gone? :?: I asked Josh about the ship editor in web chat and he said it wasn't quite done yet. Also, we know ships can be...

April 3rd 2014 Moved Planet Colonization and Faction Creation into Partially implemented because we are beginning to see NPCs managing and working for other NPCs. The planet in the video had a colony on it which I assume was colonized by the NPCs through universe generation. I moved Sensors to imple...

Excellent video! It was really neat to see all the NPCs flying around and trading. It was also cool to learn that the NPCs were taking orders from other NPCs. It would be neat to see the amount paid to the traders and the amount paid to the Capt. as transactions complete. It seemed to me that you we...
