In our previous posts we've mentioned that 'space' is the overarching theme of this patch, and showed a little preview of some exciting new space vehicles. We have some even bigger (downright galactic) changes planned, including fleshing out one of the most fundamental parts of the game: interplanetary travel! To get an idea of what we have in mind, here's a look at a WIP version of the new navigation interface: (bigger gif) Space isn't just about stars and planets, it's about the space between them, so you'll now be able to fly freely around systems and explore all kinds of new locations, from space stations to traveling merchant ships to mysterious derelicts! Systems won't just be static, either — moons orbit planets, planets orbit stars, and rich opportunities come and go, rewarding patient explorers with brand new perils and plunder!
OMFG. I'm waintin' for this since monthes....Imo, space exploration is very important in this kind of games ; Starbound is goin' to become a space opera referance i think. Thx all the team for your efforts, work and fun !!!!
OMG I know it would be crazy to implement, but i think is possible, it would be SO cool to choose in wich part of the planet you would like to land, say for example you are watching this topview, you can choose to land in the inferior part of the planet, and lets say that in this part there's just an ocean, but if you choose the up part of the planet, there's a forest, that's for people who likes a planet so much, and it would add a new whole dimension to the game, i think
SPAAAAAACE dat yellow core is tottaly me great! space exploration i wait for you! thoght itll need some more updates?, are there gonna be adtional spaeship upgrades? like spd,armor, Scanner that could give you chance to find random things to eplorer or justbox of "stuff" flying in space? well i theyr added they will take more than few updates eh?! youre askin why am i not asking about spae battles? well ofcourse not! those are already comfirmed!
Best update. This adds a ton of more diversity not only to single player but multiplayer if you can see players orbiting a system. Can't wait for the next space update!!!
God f*cking damn it chucklefish! Why'd you have to drag me back into your game?! I had a good life and everything, but now I've got to go back and indulge in this again! On that note, will we be getting boarding and space combat mechanics? I think it'd be nice to have a reason to store things on some remote planet instead of your ship. Then again... Planetary invasions could be a thing...
FINALLY!!! Space is becoming interesting! If anything is changed in interplanetary travel, please please please PLEEEEEEEASE add some sort of encounter system. Merchants are a good start, but having to deal with hostile ships with any sort of mechanism behind the system would add an actual tensity and excitement to moving through space.
Oh yes! That's some fine tease for what's to come. And just the right thing for my taste! The intra-system navigation looks extremely cool!
Ooo. Now THIS..... THIS is how you do a Dev Blog Post. Show us something incredibly awesome that gets us wanting the next update!
I can't find the words to describe how I feel about this.. This sounds awesome! Really looking forward to this update!
