What are the future plans for ships? Piracy, hijacking, ghost ships, unique upgrades, etc

    So I was looking back at the post about ship tier upgrades and wondering what may be in store for future ship game play. It would be a shame to have a ship you can customize and upgrade and not be able to use it for other things besides transport.

    I know at one point there had been talk about incorporating some FTL game play elements into SB. I think that would be incredible, it would easily make SB as a game in a class of it's own. In fact it would be amazing to have a part of the game where you don't even need to leave the ship. Imagine being able to chase down pirates or to work as a mercenary, a courier or a merchant. It could also be cool to have some elements like Space Pirate Zombies where you have to eradicate enemies from a galaxy or sector. Perhaps in MP other players can join in to take out enemy ships, battalions or even a death star like object.

    There are so many directions CF can go with the game play of ships in the game. I'm very curious what they have in mind.

    Yeah keep dreaming dude, no offence but, they are reworking what they thought from the beginning. I know this game is having a lot of potential regarding structure and weapons, and story, and missions , and infinite number of possibilities but.....it is what it is, you know?!
    A lot of people are upset about getting the basics for this game......still waiting......

    I was always hoping for a 2D version of star wars battlefront 2 myself. Defend the ships internal components on foot...or hop into a fighter/bomber/assault shuttle and attack the enemy ship from the outside or inside as your ship dukes it out with theirs. Guess we'll see how its implemented if it does happen.

    I would love to see ship combat to be something like FTL, except you are an individual crew member

    Dont give a damm,give me a Shoulder Mounted Ion Cannon, Alpha Strikes, and Maybe a Mech or Two in a Mech Bay and Ill be on my Merry way to kill some Hylotls.
    (Racist Bastards had it coming,Brotherhood cant stop me, Fishies wont either)

    But in a serious tone, Probs some Raiding, destruction, Killing copious amounts of Sushi and Monkeys, Space Bags too, id much rather have a Combat army type of deal rather than FTL, Recruit some guys, manage food and Weaponry, Guns, Pay em and raid some Fish.

    The future plans of chucklefish is to produce as much shovelware as possible for you smartys to buy.
    I dont expect starbound to get ANY major content updates (NOT THAT IT EVER HAD EVEN ONE) anymore.

    I'd love to see FTL-style combat in the game. But that's probably going to be a post-1.0 thing.

    There's an idea for my "games to make later in my career" folder. =D
    (Not to steal the idea. If you want, I'll put your name in the "REMEMBER TO CREDIT THIS GUY" section. =P)

    My point ?
    Expressing my opinion. Thats what a forum is made for.
    And i cant see where i was rude in my post with a single word.

    It is an objective assumption of the last year and my foreseeing based on that information.

    Verry mature wording when you called "Us", suposedly many of the Forum users "smartys", whatever the hell that is, claiming that ChuckleFish has produced nothing and will and has produce nothing but Shovelware, selective to personal opinion but still, and denying that Starbound ever had any kind of progress made into it.

    Im guessing Smartys means something along the lines of Sheep Consumers, that would purchase the "Vaporware" Chuckelish produces without question.
    Rude.

    Now,opinions are yours, and if you do indeed think that ChuckleFish havent produced any Updates that you consider meaningfull, you have a right to be picky, yet claiming they have made nothing and will do noting but Shovelware?
    That implies quite a lot of bad things regarding the company, difamation, in a word.
    Content is being produced, wether its of your liking or not, calling it Shovelware and aparently atempting to insult those whom buy it is being rude,yet again.

    You have the right to speak your opinion,as do we all, yet your post was objectively insulting atleast some of the people whom bough the game, with a decent chance that you were insulting the Company name aswell.
    Again, you have a right to not like the development of Starbound or the Company making it, yet claiming certain customers are (suposedly) like sheep, and that absolutely no content will ever be produced by Chuckle seeing as they have never made any content to begin with and/or make content that would be considered low quality Shovelware, terefore insinuating that they are a company that cannot be trusted or a Company able to create worthwhile content, is being rude.Yet again.

    You can perfectly say your opinion without being insulting, you know that.
    Yet this isnt the thread in wich your opinion about Chucklefish is even being asked, its only being asked what one expects from the Gameplay aspect of Ships and the combat apect about it.

    That like claiming the Cheese is Roten in a Ice Cream van, its out of place and never asked, you just said it though nobody asked.

    Thats...inadequate.

    I wont question your judgement,but if you do indeed wish to express your opinion, go to a place where atleast its actualy logical to share them.Make your own thread, join onme related,doesent matter, go where you can pos it within context,as right now, you seem to simpy have forcefully pulled this up when nobody has asked for it.

    This aint a thing cause I disagee, it simply the wrong place, and the wrong execution.
    Dont take it personaly,please.
