Would it be possible to have more than just asteroids up there? One thing that might be cool would be for planets that have advanced civilizations on them to also have space junk in orbit kind of like the Earth does. Things like derelict satellites, spent rocket stages, random bits of machinery that we can salvage, or even old abandoned ships. The sky's the limit.
They're way more likely to, yeah, though really any body large enough to have other things orbiting it can have rings. For a variety of astronomical reasons interesting to a probably very small percentage of people, so...
you have to consider it though, like doesn't starbound exist in a grid? i mean it would blow my mind and actually confuse me if it didn't. like if there was a grid, how would you do this? do things snap together like floating lego? that sounds kind of insane
Yup, a space game wouldn't be complete without a Space Walk. Would be awesome to setup Lab up there! Maybe even alloys that require Zero G to synthesize!
i think ancient, cryptic, "mythic" abandoned space junk with a lot of mystery and rustic uniqueness would be amongst the coolest stuff ever
Looks really good! I'm excited! for some reason that reminded me of metroid though I will make a Metroid world I think lol
I think it would be interesting to have asteroids that actually are orbiting the planet, asteroid belts are DANGEROUS; naturally, if you wanted to build a space elevator, you would do it on a planet without a maelstrom of rocks above it. c:
OR you could build a sort of insanely high-tech grav deflector or laser shield to protect it from the bullet-speed pebbles in orbit
Only a few issues with this 1: With the gravity shouldn't it be technacally impossible to just walk out into space from a plents surfiace? and 2, wouldn't re-entriy most likely turn you into ashes due to the friction? I dunno about this feature, it seems overly silly, you should need to use some sort of vechicle to get into space like that, then you should be able to walk a bit while teathered to it. Just being able to jump/fly into space without a proper craft seems a little.. well.. stupid to me. Its the only feature so far in starbound I have reacted negativly too. It just seems a little too far out there.
is the time to insert small shuttles to reaching the atmosphere external side, this is a great update nice job dev
Eh. I probably won't bother with asteroids unless there's rare materials up there. Nevertheless many people seem to be happy with it, which is cool with me. Nice work guys
It's not overly silly, and it's also a work in progress! I may sound like a mindless drone quick to defend the team, but this kind of made me upset and panicky. I hope someone explains the point of view I have better than me.
I noticed there was a monster in the video. I don't know if that was one of your pets (odd still since it shouldn't be able to breath haha) but I hope the planet's monsters have no way to get up that high (in most cases, maybe some special high-level monsters could fly, that'd be cool only if rare). But maybe that mini-biome could feature special space-faring monsters that'd be awesome!
1: one step at a time, just some really big stairs, etc. The only problem is most materials aren't strong enough to support their own weight that far up. Yet. 2: have you seen the video of that guy skydiving from outside Earth's atmosphere? It's doable. (e- although any rings orbiting the planet wouldn't be that close. But... well... videogames.)
Oh, its not going to stop me form enjoying the game, as you can see I already pre-ordered it ages ago. It just seems silly that you can just bascally walk into space from the surface.
Also yes, I have seen it, but he took a ship/plane up there, he didn't just jump there on his own, thats my point, if you need a vechicle like a small shuttle/rocket to get up to that biome, thats cool, but if you can just stack blocks, or jump/use a jetpack to get out of the atmosphere it just seems way out of place to me.
