Re: My dreams or what do I would like to see in game
Well, I think at least half of these will be in LT at release and the other half with will created by mod'ers with in a few months after release.

1- I would like to explore
You will be able to.
2- I would like to do research to develop new techs or new scientific areas of improvement for the different parts of the ship
You can.
3- I would like to find derelict ships of ancient civilizations with some alien techniques that could give me some new branches in the research tree
See answer to six.
4- I would like to mine and craft
Mining, yes - crafting, not so much. You can develop exclusive, new technologies which you will need to manufacture from blueprints. This is not space minecraft, that gap has been filled by games like Starmade or even mod packs like Tekkit or Voltz.
5- I would like to be able to land in asteroids and built research centers or other infrastructure that could grant me fuel, resources and a source of revenue.
Yes, kinda. Josh has hinted at this in the past, but you won't be able to get out of your ship and walk around.
6- I would like to meet friendly alien civilizations.
Aliens won't be included. Its weird, because Josh has not explicitly states if we are aliens or humans, so its entirely left to our imagination.

Any colonised planet would be full of aliens, even if they're all human.
Re: My dreams or what do I would like to see in game
Isn't the definition of "alien" simply "a life form born on another planet"?HKY09 wrote:Aliens won't be included. Its weird, because Josh has not explicitly states if we are aliens or humans, so its entirely left to our imagination.

Besides, if we got to a point where we colonized other planets we probably wouldn't refer to people who live on, say, Mars, in the same way as extraterrestrial aliens as we do today
Re: My dreams or what do I would like to see in game
Well, the most general definition of 'alien' is 'outsider', which is why it's a surreal experience filling out immigration forms entering the USA or China (and I would imagine, many other countries). It's from that definition that we get the 'from another world' thing, so it seems the spirit of the question is whether or not we'd be humans or non-humans, which is usually what is meant by such a questionDigitalDuck wrote:Isn't the definition of "alien" simply "a life form born on another planet"?HKY09 wrote:Aliens won't be included.

Re: My dreams or what do I would like to see in game
Let's not be too finicky about terms. In the context of LT, I think it's reasonable to say that "alien" just means "life forms that don't exist (as far as we currently know) on Earth."
So the question is, what might those look like?
That remains my #2 interest as a mod.

(In my not particularly wholehearted defence, I was attempting to echo finicky with more finicky =P )
Do you mean in the sense of procedurally generating aliens for LT? Or a more general question of what aliens might look like?
How 'realistic' would you like to get with this, bearing in mind our other crackpot theories about aether et alia?

Re: My dreams or what do I would like to see in game
You probably won't find derelict ships, because AI is a ship and the two can't exist separatively in space. There is no boarding either.
I can't find any notion of contraband or smuggling too, which makes me very concerned when it comes to illegal trade. I am not sure if piracy covers that. It's not exactly the same - a pirate can sell whatever cargo he obtained from a trader, not necessarily illegal goods thus not counting as smuggling (unless he robbed a smuggler, but if there is no concept of illegal goods then there is no smuggling as such in the first place).

Hmmm. I agree, smuggling should be in the game.

Re: My dreams or what do I would like to see in game
the thing is:
how do you define an illegal good?
or how does the AI decide "i dont want this here"?

Perhaps we've never been visited by aliens because they have looked upon Earth and decided there's no sign of intelligent life.

so why shouldnt there be a state for a ship without pilot?
pilots without ships will likely not be in the game, yes.
but ships without pilots?
why not?
Re: My dreams or what do I would like to see in game
you can change ships, and i guess exectutive AI's will likely also be able to switch ships.Safe-r wrote:You probably won't find derelict ships, because AI is a ship and the two can't exist separatively in space.
