Yes at a later date we will be revising the way factions work in relation to claiming territory etc to something that's a bit more approachable for both single player and multiplayer. Our desire is to create a system that makes it a bit more balanced between NPCs and players.

Sound will still take some time to implement purely based on the fact that there isn't a sound engine in game yet, or one that actually does what we need it to do to support our vision for all sound could be and the immersion it could bring. Similarly to the NPC update, it could take a couple...

This is probably most accurate. Criss highlighted it well above as well. Our development focus is generally driven by what we want to add in next. These next few updates need to start with the NPC Faction generation going in, as it's the foundation that everything else gets built upon in terms...

Pretty much. There's very large plans for the game and in the end you'll be able to play it a number of ways. But we never wanted the universe to sit idle while you played. For us one of the things we like about StarMade is that it isn't your typical approach to a game that features you as a...

Good thing we did then! Guide to NPC faction directory structure In the npcFactions folder you will find... The "npcConfigDefault.xml" has all the default config values for a npcFaction. The "npcSpawnConfig.xml" handles the selecting and spawning of factions for the server. Each of the...

You've probably been sitting around twiddling your thumbs in anticipation for the next release, savouring any piece of news or updates you get about it. So here's a Dev Blog to help take away those hunger pains, at least for a little while. While we had anticipated the Faction Update to be...

There will be some way to easily package and share a "faction" pack There will be some way to easily package and share a "faction" pack Citizens will be explored at a later point, for now the focus is just getting this aspect of gameplay functionality added in. To a degree it does, because...

That's something we'd like to explore at some point, however considering a vast amount of the game takes place in space and so the whole gravity thing gets weird with flowing liquids, we probably won't be until Beta, you have a good year at least.

That will be something we have to explore. Something we'll have to consider. Possibly. More so, if you approach an area that they're already active their ships would load in. We're talking about approaching beyond your own loading range, but as you enter into that range they would load with...

Both NPC and player factions would be able to use fleets to mine, expanding on the existing fleet mining ability

I hear the concerns from some people and its stuff we've discussed as a development team as things to note prior to starting development of this project. Here's some aspects worth noting are currently in our plans... - NPC factions, like player controlled factions, will need to gather...

Revision of the UI to do with the map is planned for some point
