Suggestion on New Stretch Goal!

A lot of people keep commenting on no more content to slow down release, but the devs had mentioned multiple times that the stretch goals were not implemented with intent of hindering or slowing down the release process. That being said I don't see the harm in speculating or offering ideas in the community forum, in the end the devs decide, but they also probably appreciate the ideas, support, and criticisms from the community.

 

1m and no other stretch goal appeared... The rappelling penguin also looks pretty ecstatic. I can't decide if I feel sad (for no more goals) or happy (for the $ 1m) :/

 

The previous one did not appear right away, but if not then I'm cool with that as well.

 

I think your underestimating the number of possibilities that will be present. I don't wanna sound like "that fanboy" but seeing as how we havent explored like 100 planets we can't be sure. I'll eat my own words if this turns out to be true and we see the same aliens all the time, but we're already seeing such varied planets, seeing as how they are harder to make then a head, body part, way of attacking, i just see the world generation as awesome, and I see the NPC (enemies and such) generation can only be 10x better.

 

Will there be boss fights? If not, I want that!
Also, how about some rare collectables that you need to trade with friends to complete it, like TCGs?

 

Oh wow, yeah I'd be down for some sort of universal collectible that's kind of recognized by all of the different races, that'd be pretty neat.

edit: Like a interplanetary passport or stamp collection, or coin collection. Or something very clever that an old interesting being made up that caught on like wild fire that travelers alike participate in and it's a mark of a well traveled person, sort of like the Disney pin collection if anyone is familiar with that, but on a grander scale.

 

If it's been mentioned already, I apologize. I like the idea of possibly having customizable decals for vehicles and/or banners for your buildings. It'd add a nice little personal touch to everyone's stuff.

 

minigames you can play with friends for prizes??

 

The penguin was jumping around like that after stretch goal 2 as well, so that doesn't actually mean a whole lot.

 

The best bonus is a beta. But I would not mind the space bar. With the news, quests and easter eggs.

 

Personally, I believe we should stop at stretch goal 3 (Which, HOORAY, has been reached).

Mainly because from now, I believe we should allow them to focus solely on the game, as opposed to thinking up and implementing more and more things.

 

To add to Mr.Bacon's idea I also think fishing would be a fantastic idea however with a little twist. I'd like to see space fishing. I've always thought of space as a vast ocean and I feel like it would be interesting to see creatures 'swimming' around space like you would see fish swim in the ocean. There would be some sort of attachment you could build for your ship that would allow you to cast out a fishing rod type device that would function just like a fishing rod. There would be certain galaxies in which certain species of 'space fish' would reside. Just a thought. I have no idea if anyone has thought of this before.

 

How about Beta release for a stretch goal? That's extremely unlikely, but, you know.

 

Your imagination takes you to strange places! ahaha. But it looks.. Interesting!

 

Yea definitely both great ideas, fishing on planets and out in the matter of space would be pretty epic. What kind of creatures would live out in space to fish though? I'd like to see that sort of system fleshed out.

 

Interesting good? :alien:

 

"I caught a stranded astronaught! ...Oh.'

 

Well, like a lot of people, the beta access would be nice.

But more seriously:

-some RPG features would be nice: I'm not expecting levels (this game isn't design for that I think) but stats &/or morality (good/bad) and more quests would be really nice imho

-more monsters, weapons etc.

-more biomes, huge world etc.

 

Well I haven't thought about it to a great extent but it would be a lot like the ecosystem of the ocean. There would be micro-organisms that feed off of something like....Idk let's say they feed off of the residual energy left by space flights. And then up from that there would be shrimp like creatures feeding on the space plankton and so on until we reach creatures like the great white shark, the highest on the space food chain.

I'm not saying that it should be entirely the same as the ecosystem on earth but it could be similar. There could also be space coral. Where fish and lobsters and stuff gather to live. There could be creatures that live exclusively within asteroid fields which would make them rare and highly desirable to catch. Then on the character side of thing there could be paths that you can take. Like you could research the creatures to maybe make adjustments to your ship or armour to improve them, or reduce fuel consumption or something. Or they could be purely for food. It's quite a big thing to think about.

 

Super late reply, and I apologize for that but this idea is amazing; 10/10, seriously. I'd love for this to be in the game.
