    I don't have any probs with ZQSD (or WASD), but I'm using my "C" button as push to talk when on skype/teamspeak for a while now (I grew used to it that way), and I'm tired of popping up the crafting menu each time I speak x). Besides, I would love to be able to bind the inventory button to another location, maybe Mouse4 or F.

    Totally amazing, cannot wait! could you explain the mercenary pod a bit more though? I'm really interested but didn't really quite understand.

    I hope that ship combat is optional, or something, because I can't really think how that would work in multiplayer. I have absolutely no interest in pvp and the only way I play is with my boyfriend, so whatever you have planned, I hope it is coop compatible.

    Fantastical. All of these things sound amazing. Plus, the Stargate mentions make me go all spastically geeky.

    Not a typo, I think.
    I think that it was mentioned in one of the old blog posts.

    Basically you could have a "mega server" of sorts by having people host multiple servers and gates allowing people to cross between them.

    God bless you, the things on this list seem so amazing! I especially love the idea of environmental hazards and the derelict spacehips.

    Il va falloir attendre un peu pour ca, ca ne fait pas partie de leurs priorités. Je suppose qu'un système de contenu instancié verra le jour d'ici peu, cela dit. Au moins pour le coffre de bord. Ce qui paraitrait plus logique, c'est un coffre-fort après tout ! :p

    ...But will she handle the time required for travel to the current point A to this far, far away point B, Mr Spock ? We're running out of it !

    Ok, so if no one's said it yet, let me thank you from the bottom of my heart for the addition of a colorblind mode. I'm red/green colorblind, and this is something that is often overlooked, and/or deliberately ignored by most developers. If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion or two that may save you a number of headaches in trying to figure out what to do to compensate for each kind and type of colorblindness?

    First, contrast between light and dark, as well as pattern, are king.

    Second, in my honest opinion, you're best off giving us color/opacity control of the HUD, it's aspects, and the cursor that is currently some shade of red, (I think) and therefore invisible or nearly so against a number of backgrounds for me. (The forest worlds being the most glaring example of this.) We've been compensating for our colorblindness all our lives in one way or another, and we each know what works best for us. Give us control, and we can take it from there.

    Third, if you could give us a better way to differentiate between food-plants/useful ores on/in the ground, and what they are imbedded amongst, that would be awesome. Just make it so that if we hold down a button, little identifiers pop up over all useful ores, and food-plants on the screen Diablo style, with a faded marker signifying objects in the background, much as is done with the blocks themselves, and you're good.

    Lastly, thank you guys for working on the options to change our drop-point, scan planets for things, working on the ship size upgrades and map overhaul in particular, but the whole list sounds great so far. We know you guys are working very hard. It shows in both quantity and quality. You're doing amazing things. It is appreciated, and you should be proud of what you have accomplished so far.

    All excellent changes. Thanks Tiy!

    I would personally recommend Tech Priority as the first thing to focus on, because that has the greatest effect on gameplay.
