I like the "three-sector-setup" a lot! It sounds a lot more like "sandbox" to me, and should play nicely. I admit, right now I don't ever return to a sector once I defeated the boss there; having the bulk of the game take place in a sector where I actively need to craft things in order to make planets a valid target for a visit really seems the way to go.

 

I'm not sure how the whole creative thing is going to work, but hopefully it will address this: Its always bothered me that to actually gather the materials for your house it can take five times the time it takes to actually build it. Starbound's building materials are a lot better than those of another game similar to this ;D, so i can't help building big houses. The only problem is, i don't have all day to gather materials (or mine to get the money to craft the materials), so it can make the game feel quite grindy at times. But chucklefish has yet to disappoint so I'm exited to see what they will do with the creative sector!

 

"At this stage were introducing a new planet type called an outpost. A small and safe planet populated by members of every race. A safe haven for trade and quest taking. You’ll learn how to generate pixels through selling crops, taking quests, selling trophies found in dungeons and renting out houses in your settlement."

Sounds amazing. Can't wait for this to be implemented.

 

well, 11 pages of approval, I think this is a good idea/should be added. it probably will, as all the good feedback. but one thing I DO hope they do, is make it so trainers and other stuff like that dont work in multiplayer.
other than that, great sounding update, DO IT gigglingOsteichthyes!

 

Sounds interesting.

Will there still be planet levels? to determine monster difficulty?

 

Damn, I've already thrown my money at you, and I already have a first born son; what will I do now? :\

 

Sounds really awesome!

 

Instead of a "Farming" progression path, why not a Trading/Merchant/Economic path that could include Farming along with Shopkeeping and other such things that may come in future? Farming seems to be an awfully.... well, narrow field to specialize in.

I could go on to say how an additional "Civic" progression path would be completely awesome; add some city-building aspects to the game Democracy, Feudalism, Militarization/Defense, Disaster Response Units... ok I'm well aware I'm dreaming the impossible there Or maybe not? It could be extremely rudimentary and/or API entries to make such things possible via mods...

 

Sweet. All on board with everything in this dev concept

 

I think you will be able to multitask, setup a little intergalactic bread and breakfast, that also has a giftshop.

 

this give me a nerdgasm

 

Awsome!! that sounds just awsome....

But hwat about my current homeplanet? Will i be able to keep it? or will i lose my beatiful farming house?

can't wait for full release

 

This is true but mods add fun .. Like the mega man mod halo mod and the random dungeons mod.. So many ideas people like mods its adds Varity to the game.. I do hope they add more dungeon mods and such its fun even raid bosses people are working on... Its cool you like pvp and bullying others rofl...I don't how ever I just be playing offline I had my fun with pvp in other games ...So taking huge break off it now....

 

I'm excited!

 

Any idea when the game will be finished?

 

I have no idea but I like the game ... Its fun with a few mods I have ... I am hoping soon so they can add more stuff I am hoping for some abandon space stations or missions

 

So many people are asking about losing their planets, hasn't it been said long ago there will be another universe wipe or two before release?

I am wondering if the current planetary tier system will remain with the sectors reduced to three? So will every sector be comparable the X sector where there are multiple tiers of planet? What about the farming/crafting sector? Will the PVP sector have more difficult planets for higher risk adventuring? Should we expect a party based free for all or will there be objectives to achieve, like racial pvp quests or something?

I know you have said that armor is going to be re-worked and certain techs will be tied to certain armors. I can see this including a reduction in the number of tiers for planets and gear. My only concern is that for this to be properly implemented before release you will need another character wipe. I don't think you should hesitate to do this if necessary for the final release.

 

This is true

 

Looking forward to this!!
