Ship Upgrades when?

PLEASE SOMEONE MUST KNOW THE ETA OF SHIP UPGRADES!!!! Just asking since I don't want to mod since it could have drawbacks when we do get the upgrade features. Plus been hearing a lot about them from pics released from developers and such.

 

Aww crushed

 

Just download a mod and BAM, instant gratification. Else, between now and June. They released a beta game, are making mad money off of it, they have no big incentive to rush the game to completion. People paying you to test your game, oh hell yes.

 

for some reason they dont feel like working on it cus... i have no idea

 

Its not that they 'don't feel like it' its that there's more important things, its next on their to-do list, after quests.

 

when kids learn how to google

 

Googled it before I made post FOUND NOTHING BUT MODS!!!!!

 

now

 

Soon™.

 

I seem to remember hearing it was going in the "next" update, about half a dozen updates or more ago. So nobody really knows, and CF certainly aren't keeping us apprised of what to expect, nevermind when to expect it.

 

More like when immature adults stop badgering kids over stuff in an online video game forum.

 

Comments like these seem to suggest we're just lazing about. With money comes a feeling of responsibility. The amount we work has actually increased. For example, several part time developers went full time when the money started coming in. We also lack a magic button to instantly please people with the stuff they want when they want it.

We're working away on this game as fast as humanly possible without doing a bad job and without working slave hours (still putting in a lot of hours).



To answer the question of when ship upgrades will come, I don't know . Hopefully soon. We try to address things based on important. While ship upgrades would be awesome to have there are a few things that we've prioritized above them. Though ship upgrades are still high on the list there's a few things a bit higher. We'll get to implementing the system when we can.

And I don't remember anyone saying it would be in the "next" one. They were wrong if it happened. :O

 

Thank you for taking the time to share your reflections.

Don't worry, many of us are well aware that software development entails many unexpected trials. Our participation in this stage of beta is chiefly an investment a vision, and that's certainly one we believe in.

 

Thanks for the update, taking the time to read, and respond on the forums.

 

why do folks keep asking for this and that when 90% of what they ask for is available in any number of mods?

 

Not everyone likes using mods, especially when a new patch can potentially break said mods. The OP even stated that he wasn't interested in a mod, so asking when an official release of a promised feature is kind of a given.

 

guess i need to learn to read slower. my bad. still...mods are no less likely to break than the game is. lol. ive had super minor issues with the 7 or so i run. usually just changing the old update name to the new update name or at worst, waiting for the author to do it. and what you get out of them far outweighs some small setbacks that "may" occasionally occur.

 

I don't disagree that most mods aren't gonna break every update, but I can see if you get really attached to your character, a mod breaking might be more upsetting than knowing everyone's character was eaten by the Kraken. Kerbal Space Program is another game that mods can add a lot of planned features sooner, but every now and then an update will straight break the mod and in turn, your whole save until the mod is updated. I haven't looked at any mods yet for Starbound, because I'm still deciding "what I'd like" before I go changing vanilla, although I know it might just be a matter of time.

As for a modded Ship Upgrade, I can see someone with a packed ship getting really upset when the Kraken eats all their loot lol. For me, I'm waiting for it to eat my base one of these days.
