    Looking good! Thanks for the transparency and showing us the future goals. I know that roadmaps can sometimes do as much harm as good, particularly if certain expectations aren't met.
    But yeah, definitely nice to see what ideas are in the works and what will potentially be going into the game as development progresses.

    Good luck!

    I hope they still plan on putting in a dungeon protecting items, it would make them more intense. Are their going to be random NPC quests? I think that would be awesome!

    To be honest with you, the list had me at "Planetary Bombardment" :D Even if it "won't be implemented for a long time" (still hoping not too long!), the idea of a living universe, where the players' actions have permanent consequences (will the race whose planet has been bombed just sit idly or go after the player with bounty hunters?).

    All in all, I will nominate the developers for my newly-established "How to do an alpha-beta launch properly" award. Good communication, good planning, and hands-down great gameplay as things stand. It can only get better!

    If stealing becomes an issue, then we need the ability to buy furniture from NPCS

    Wait space battles would be impossible because you are invincible on your ship so you just stand there hitting doing no damage

    Unless a special subroutine comes into play and you're able to take damage/deliver damage only during space battles and ship melee?

    Nah. When you encounter an enemy ship in Starbound, the game automatically fires up FTL and you fight the battle there, then you are returned to Starbound.

    You know how "LOL" is sometimes used in an exaggerated fashion - I actually LOL'd. My geekification is complete. So, will I get a partial refund seeing as I own FTL already? :D

    Jokes aside - I'm quite curious to see future developments. :)

    I don't believe this to be a replacement list. More of a - these are some of the new things we are doing on top of the already planned stuff.

    Working on a system to patch without requiring as many character wipes in the future.

    SHOL'VA!

    Either way we need 303's (Human) and Ha' Taks (Avian maybe? Their artstyle seems to based on egypt stuff) pretty bad in the game, at least as Ship Dungeons ^^

    I would really like to see the final one of the game, Hope it is good and good luck!

    Sounds awesome! It's missing one thing, however. Could you allow us to drag the scrollbars with the cursor in crafting menu and options as you currently aren't able to do that?

    I wonder if this'll be the same for all races, or if different races will have different layouts, it'll probably be the former but I can still dream. :catface:
