Aww yiss, sounds sweet!
I like the idea of the outposts and three different ways to essentially play the game, good.
Waiting for more =)

 

Love how it sounds. Now make it happen

 

Well, having three sectors sounds definitely good. Everyone`s gonna be happy this way.

 

Well that was fast...

 

Sounds pretty interesting. I'm really intrigued by the outpost idea, and the renting out houses bit.

 

It sounds cool, I like the three sector idea. However I wonder, with one sector being where the majority of the game takes place in, and one sector for creativity without dangers (I am guessing planets excellent for building on etc.)..... will we be able to use the third safe sector for our house rentals and farming, or is that something unlocked later. Because this would mean that the first is not truly the sector where most of the gameplay takes place.... but rather the safe one for the builders / farmers that don't want to deal with protecting their settlements. Although it might be interesting to attempt to do that in a pvp sector (thinking a RP server with occasional race wars etc. attacking the other races colonies). With the statement made as it is, I am guessing the two extra sectors will not be quest or income related (simply due to the first one stated as "where the majority of the game takes place". So can we get a little clarification on that? Thanks for the information, and I like where its going. I for one cant wait to build and rent out property, with a "debtors prison" for anyone who doesn't pay.

TL DR Can we still receive rents and farm in the PvP and the "Safe Sector" instead of the "Where the majority of the game takes place" sector for profit and advancement?

 

Will there be new graphical assets for these areas?

 

What information will be available on the navigation view? Will we still be privy to the planet threat level? It would be a great addition if we can have an additional UI directory of planets visited, with the ability to take notes and/or have information on the user experience on the planet (amount of materials harvested, buildings constructed, races present, total income, etc). Something like the end scenario stats in Dungeon Keeper or the old Microprose games like Master of Magic or Master of Orion.

 

Cool, i like this update. Especially since most biomes will be in one sector. awesome.

 

This is exciting! the game is getting cooler the further along we go!

 

They did say there would be a way to mark favorites and planets visited. But I definitely agree with the other information, it would be very helpful.

 

Soft-limit progression and outposts, so exciting!

 

This is simply stellar; thanks for the update, Tiy!

 

Holy crap this sounds amazing.

 

It is. There are a whole list of other goodies he shared with us, that aren't on here... But hes still trying to decide on how to go about them, or if they're even something he wants to do.

/tease.

 

Really love the idea of outposts! And well, pretty much everything else stated. Looking forward to more information/progress on it. ^^

 

This is the sexiest thing I've read all day. Dirty boy.

 

Yeah this is gonna own.

 

I approve of everything in this news post.
