OK, Bench.... Spill it.
I'm sure he'll tell us all when there is more news to tell. Somethings are may be concept only and have not even hit the basic planning stage
It's not over the top, you won't need plumbing. It's pretty standard like, if you'd think you'd probably need this area on a ship, then better off having it than not.
I disagree. The devs have overall, been incredibly responsive to this comunity. What they have that ALL of us mere groundlings lack is a picture of the larger development path. Area gates will be useful. Race gates are a direct offshoot from that, that will open new ways to use the sandbox. When one new feature opens a door with new possibilities... Why should it matter that none of us suggested it first? We all can donate brushes and cool tubes of paint in the form of ideas, but Schema is the painter. Thus far he's earned every dollar I've given him 10 fold.
Are you kidding me? Competitive racing could add a whole new layer to the game. Imagine a "death race" arena/track on a server that people can join/spectate/bet on. That sounds pretty awesome to me.
It seems a little unnecessary though, no? You could build a race track right now using logic.
Could you go over the general mechanics you have planned?
Not currently, there will be another thing on it in the future once we've got it all fairly much in as some stuff might change during implementation.
what if you're building something on a level where there isn't much leeway for interiors? Will this be some sort of sliding scale where bigger things will need more space?
Thank you for your prompt reply. Would it be a good idea to post a suggestion on the subject? I mean, are you guys considering suggestions?
He had another post. RP things will be an advantage, not much else.
Still sounds a bit random to me. Unjustified? No, but random. They sound like the sort of thing to add later on in beta, perhaps as part of a rare Racing mission type where you try to beat NPC racers in one of a few possible tracks or something. They do encourage more community events, though, and that's always a good thing, I suppose, but I get the sense that they won't be used very much. Kind of like Battle Mode...
