So the Tier system is staying after all?

I'm curious about what would be considered a good reason to build on a planet, aside from some mcguffin requirement mechanic (i.e. this crafting station doesn't work on ships or whatever).

I kinda think there are already good reasons to build on a planet. I certainly enjoy doing so.

 

I still don't think you have fully read and understood my original post, either that or your grasping at straws.

Every feature? How on earth did you come to this conclusion? If every feature is apparently in this game already I really hope you turn out to be wrong. Luckily I know despite my concerns that you're wrong, there's still a number of features to be added. To be honest it feels like you're trying way to hard to give this game praise.... You also can't state every last feature is in the game and then speak of upcoming development's not yet implemented so its a complete contradiction. As for it being dumbed down, the gear and the survival aspect has been completely dumbed down if not completely removed. You speak off progression paths in farming and building, you won't really progress in the game since they have already stated them as side quests making them optional. Stories end, and this game was once advertised as being infinite, soooo much emphasis was on its procedural generation and how much the game would take advantage of that in every aspect not just visually, which is exactly what had me throwing money at the screen.

At the minute, the game is "bland". Irrelevant of it being a BETA the games direction is obvious. Its as I said just a 2D adventure game which just happens to give you the option to explore.

 

I said every promised feature.....ie all the upcoming features were never part of the initial promises, which are all fulfilled....there's a difference there....and no, I am not wrong. Upcoming development and features are all bonus things that all us should be grateful for because all of it is above and beyond the initial promised vision. Keep that in mind when you want to be all upset about perceived u-turns and broken promises(there are none).

 

No u-turns? what happened to item stats? Armor penetration? They have used the words "Survival" numerous times during development, there are no survival aspect to the game now. <--- this is a u-turn
We were promised procedurally generated weapons and armor, this at the minute is near non existent. Yeah we got the odd weapon effect, but statistics wise this game is at its most basic, even different weapons of the same tier are exactly the same DPS. Again it was promised that the weapon system for Starbound would be like Borderlands, it's nothing like it at all. Sure things are subject to change as is with all early access games, but I wish they would just put their hands up and say "Sorry guys we may have been a bit optimistic for our small development team" instead they just try and brush it under a carpet even down to trying to removing any evidence it was even said. You can try to deny this fact, but the Road map was removed for a reason and if this game has all its "promised" features then why was there a need to get rid of it? Still failing to see the "promised" weapon utilities as well which wouldn't be hard to do at all so chances are that's never going in either, also fossils are not in yet (A stretch goal by the way)

Point is, no amount of brown nosing will help here, only it might get you a few more badges. You already contradicted yourself various times, the game is either feature complete or it isn't.. Please pick one since you clearly state various times that farming progression and building progression are yet to be added where were promised back in 2012 by the way. The bonus features you talk of I paid close attention to, such as Director mode, and ship battles.

As far as I'm concerned this thread is done since it already answers my query

 

This is not the right card to pull. In fact, it's because the game isn't finished that people should be voicing their concerns. That's the point of the pre-release phase: to acquire feedback and hopefully make the game more appealing.

 

for the home part the player is looking for a new home right? If they found a nice looking place why not build
