An interesting discussion definitely. A lot of people have highlighted though that at this point of development (Alpha) we're still defining what the "core" mechanics all are. I can say that we're definitely not locked in to anything at this point, and won't be for some time as we still have a...

Yes I did

It is planned and it falls earlier in the development timeline.

To answer some of the questions above... Uploading older blueprints is not yet implemented and may fail. On the first start of the new version any blueprints in your folders will be converted to the new chunk format. Regarding conversion speed we did a test conversion of 4720 blueprints, with a...

Surprise! Dev blog time! Last time we were talking about asking for your input on what you wanted as part of our in-game video tutorials. Well we've taken those on board and have released the first set of in-game video tutorials to cover the basics of the game. We'll continue to add to them as...

For those who still might need a hand

That's a fair request, one i'd be happy to oblige with in future posts.

Scroll through and find it

Tutorials went in. Also listed some new stuff.

Timeline has been updated

Map will be revised within Galaxy and UI improvements, it's something that will be addressed as features that are utilized by the galaxy map are added. Within the timeline "Next" denotes what the next group of tasks found below relate to. For example...

Thanks to everyone who submitted. Criss and Saber handled the review process quite well, with any they were unsure about then being reviewed by a number of us others in the dev team. One thing to note is that we will most likely have another fleet contest at some point in the future. So if...

P.G Ships would have to be a new system that proceeds into BPs and integrates with templates, but also allows for location definition regarding module attachments, and associations between parts. That's the only way it could be done that utilizes existing parts of the game. If we were to look at...

That helps in defining a floor space, but not for a 3d region. Also the look up can be a bit tedious on multiple blocks. It's overdue for a update

There's a lot of ideas here and an interesting approach to the aspect of NPC stations and integration with other mechanics. At the moment this suggestion doesn't necessarily align with how we're currently planning on implementing a number of features listed here or the direction we're going with...

We haven't ruled out Life Support and all that would go along with it, however you do highlight our major obstacle which is maintaining performance. There's a number of ways we could approach it but more often than not it's issues like how do you determine what's a room; when a block is...

Yes Yes

Expect us exploring a variety of different entities of different sizes, some large, some small. Some might be rarer but more beneficial to find, others you might want to avoid. If you do not wish to purchase the game when it goes into Beta you will still be able to play any demo (Alpha)...

Unsure, but that could be something we have a look at after the tutorial stuff we're working on atm.
