Hey I played this game for like 25~ hours now and yea it's a pretty nice game you made there. I really love it but I still miss some things I want to share with you. I hope you like it! 1. Delete Characters I would love to delete my character ingame instead of going into the game folders and guess which ID is which character. Too much work and not a user friendly way to manage my characters. So adding a feature for deleting characters would be good 2. Pixels as item There're many advantages of turning pixels into an item. Like transfering money from one character to another or saving pixels in my chests to safe them. It would be a realstic way of using "Money", we would never run around in reallife with our whole money. We keep it somewhere safe. There could be also some sort of "galactic bank system" where I can deposit or withdraw money. This could be integrated into npc towns as a bank. 3. Trading This is a very important aspect in a multiplayer sandbox game. Trading with other people was always good. Lets imagine I play on a public server where people sell stuff for pixels (yay second idea relevant!). You never know who is trustful or not, so you need a safe way to trade with them. In addition there could be a shop system where everyone if he wants to opens a shop, a speech bubble would appear and you can right click him/her which opens a shop window with items they sell and prices of course. 4. Right-Click on other player Right-Clicking on people was always a user friendly way to interact with other players. Some examples for a possible list of features: "Invite to party", "Request trading", "Ignore {name}", "whisper {name}". 5. Advanced servers What do I mean by "advanced servers" ? Well you maybe found out that there is no admin system or commands system in servers yet. I don't know how much it will change in the next time but I think someone should mention this. Managing your server and keeping peace in your server is pretty important. Kick people if they don't behave well. Mute players who can't control their language. the admin should be able to use commands ingame like /kick {name}, /mute {name}, /teleport {name} and stuff like this to make it easier to control everything. Also a plugin system to develop our own features would be pretty neat. (If not already possible) (Yes I saw the LUA API) [sort of...] 6. Server list or favorite/saved server I really miss this feature. There should be a way to save servers which I previously entered in a list to manage them or put them in some sort of favorite list if a normal server list exists. Pretty user friendly. 7. Upgradable Ships Beeing able to upgrade your ship would help us to improve not only ourself but our ship too! Getting more space to put stuff into you ship(bigger ships), upgrade it with new colors, more power, more fuel space and yes like I said before MORE SPAAAAAACE. Having native support for upgrading you ship is totally awesome (+1). 8. More spawnable-NPC features At the moment it's possible to spawn civilians and guards of your races and yea that's really great ! but what bothers me is that you can easily kill them by misclicking with your sword. Adding a right-click feature into it would be helpful (idea 4 relevant). That means you would add "Remove Guard|Civilian" as a right-click feature for your NPCs. They're on our side, accidently killing them(which happens more than you think) is very annoying. 9. SPAAAAAACE-Stations! Wait what ? - Hell yes. Think about this for a second. Planets are great, I think you all agree with that. But what is a galactic sandbox world without space-stations ? Well dead I guess. Traveling to space-stations would be a great chance to meet traders, other players or even kill everyone, why not ? There could also be a way to upgrade your ship(idea 7 relevant) into a big space-station which can also travel from planet to planet and traders could join your station (or other "things"). This is everything for now. Maybe I'll add some ideas to this topic later. I hope you liked it and discuss everything Greetings from Germany, tr0teK (hobby-developer)
This has been suggested many times over, and it is a good idea. I doubt it will go un-added very long. I believe the next update will have a bank machine that does just this. I agree, a trading window would be nice. Currently you can do some actions by right clicking their portrait only after they are in your party, but you are right more options would be nice. Likely this was only an oversight due to being the beta. I am sure more server functions are coming. As with above. In time I bet this will happen. Bigger ships have been announced and they have even shown screenshots of in the past. I believe they removed the function for the beta, as with many other incomplete game mechanics. Please review the forums to find such information. This idea seems reasonable, and I agree with it. As far as I know this has already been planned for 'post release'. So that would mean its a feature you will see after the game is out of Beta and receiving actual "expansion like" content updates.
There is changes coming soon for your number 2. A banking system. We need to remember that this is the Beta so there are alot of features to be added. If you have a chance look over to the Starbound Road map and you can see which sections parts of the game are near completion for development. Great feedback nonetheless.
