I want my own land !

I'm all for base building for those that would enjoy it.

Even a basic version which involves deploying inflatable habitats from out ship in which we can do Science!(TM)

Personally I would prefer the ability to explore and customise our ships as a "habitat" mainly because I prefer to take my home with me, rather than being tied to a particular location.

Yeah, I am all about base building if we get to live in and walk around in our bases we already fly with. Otherwise what's the point?

The point of building a base is to have build a base. If you dont like it, that is fine. Just accept others do. You know when you keep telling people how awesome you think having no gameplay when traveling in ED is? That is how others feel about base building. :D

Quotation will be needed on this one I am afraid. Fact it is loudly asked along with 'emergent gameplay' does not mean it is popular. More than their proponents are just very loud :)

Yeah, that is why so many games in the Steam top100 are base-building games, why Bethesda added a base-building DLC in Skyrim and made base-building a core feature in Fallout. So niche.

Sometimes I miss the days when people would be undeservedly proud of being niche, rather than the currently in-vogue nonsense of assuming the rest of the planet is niche...

You know you don't have always argue with me :)

In general I am not against. Just favor ship interiors to be walkable and liveable first.

As for Steam games top - people love games where they build stuff - and that's it. Doesn't say much about genre games with building elements - those doesn't hold up that good though.

I'd like to own a "base". But I don't want an airless rock. I want a base on an uninhabited ELW.

Of course, this will have to wait until we can actually land on ELWs. I'm happy to wait.

I want my very own F-22A Raptor that I can park in front of my house, but that’s probably about as likely to happen as FDev adding land ownership to the game.

I can sell you a certificate of entitlement of ownership for a world or even an entire system, if you like. There's no guarantee that others will necessarily honor it, but then there never is. Is there?

Are you in the market for something quaint and cozy or large and luxurious? I personally can't wait for the gigantic Golden Phallus Palace to be erected on Wizard World.

What's your favorite color? Keep in mind, there's currently a discount on beige.

This is fundamentally a sci-fi spaceship pilot game and galactic sim.

I have Space Engineers too, but I've spent way, way more time in this game than that one.

Don't get me wrong. I'd like space legs and so on eventually too, but mostly just to walk around my ships and stations and maybe world surfaces in the game.

I want my own land to settle, on moon or planet, to build my own landing pad and hangar for my ships where I can store fuel, hardware and cargo.
I want to build something of my own ! I am tired of those monotonous missions that change almost nothing except to get more credits,
Well it’s probably not going to happen, just a dream… but I had to say it !

But once you have your base then... you're back to doing those monotonous missions? Or you will be satisfied sitting in your base looking at the walls?

I mean, i also would love to be able to plonk down a base somewhere, store my ships, etc.... but then what? And actually, thinking about it, i probably wouldn't really use it much. Takes extra time landing and flying to new systems, especially if your destination system is blocked by the planet. I think most people select home bases as space stations, not planetary bases, and with good reason.

Now, maybe it might be nicer once we have earthlikes, but that's going to be years away, if ever.

In the meantime, maybe a space based base might be a nicer option, a place to own and call home. I'm vaguely hoping this is what Fleet Carriers will be with the release of Squadrons. I'm also hoping that we can move them into deep space, they will be a nice boon to exploration if so.

I don't have any problem with anyone having a base! Kind fo fun actually because - shh - it's just pretend ;)
Might be a long way off though.

I role play already with a prison colony starport. Surface bases, on some minor planet in orbit of secondary star (unlikely ever to get a visit from other players) - are also good candidates imo.

Yeah, I think we're generally even referred to as "spacers" in the game too, which makes some sense to me.

Owning land on worlds seems like a kind of outdated notion in the context of this game universe and our roles within it such as they are. The term landlocked comes to mind.

I'd love an asteroid base.

Then I realised how Frontier builds mechanics - and I suddenly don't want one.

  • The soulless collection of <things> to achieve ownership which is changed at random when people whine at Sandy about the grind - forcing you to begin again.
  • The likely ongoing tasks to retain said asteroid base because of course we have to have that decay; until you miss a few weeks whilst exploring - forcing you to begin again.
  • The fact someone will figure out how to compromise and destroy ships/ base; panicked commanders will whine at Sandy who will change it all - forcing you to begin again.
  • A bug will relocate your particular 'roid into another 'roid (sorry about that) - forcing you to begin again.
  • A bug will relocate your particular 'roid into the ether (sorry about that) - forcing you to begin again.
  • A bug will accidentally delete all of your ships and modules (sorry about that; whoops we can't restore any of it either, lol!) - forcing you to begin (everything) again.
  • Two people have a public argument about who got to an asteroid first and the subsequent fallout causes allotment to be reset - forcing you to begin again.
  • About a year after they are added, the entire process will be changed because Sandy doesn't think we're seeing value in it - forcing you to begin again.

Yeah no. I'm good. It's fine. Definitely don't need one after all. As you were.

its a good concept why not your own base that you can fund pour money into markets defences services for other players to use for a landing fee why NOT?

Without reading through, Im gonna make a few predictions based on about a score of critics who will cry frlm the heavens about this.

Someone always mentions minecraft...its the basic strawman considering nobody but them mentions minecraft.

Someone always mentions eve and how anyone supporting such things should go play eve.

There will be at some point always at least one who will write an essay about how it directly affects their bgs.

Some will point out it wouldnt be fun or useful to them, so it wont be useful to anyone based on how useful it is to them.

The same 20/25 critics...every single time a thread like this appears, using the same regurgitated arguments.

So, much as Id love to see such a thing, I also know how the last several pages went without looking at them ^
