(mod hat off)
All wonderful news, except for "but transportation is instantaneous" - I really hope the team have a look hard look at that insta-teleport mechanic and introduce a delay. On one hand we've got stars getting larger in hyperspace to "increase immersion", and on the other, we have immersion breaking (and game breaking in some cases) insta-teleport.... :/
Completely agree - very happy with everything but the instant transport (and the production of fighters in the fighter bay to a degree). If we'll be able to insta-teleport ships, why do we even have to transport cargo around at all any more - can't stations, like, insta-teleport stuff around instead? Insta-teleport/transport is a nonsense I'm afraid.....
