In the PB2 only one station per system exists (as I'm aware of). Will there be many more stations/landing sites per system in the final release, e.g. you have to earn a hyperspace drive before being able to leave the system (instead of getting one from beginning like in PB)?
Number of Stations/Landing sites per System
- Thread starter Roi Danton
- Start date
I expect some of the core systems will have quite a few stations, it will depend on how busy things get; local economy etc. but i seriously doubt we will have to grind our way up to get a hyperdrive as the most basic of starter ships already has one.
plus it would mean that we had limited start options as there wont be too many systems where there will be enough infrastructure to make money ferrying cargo within them.
I hope they have kept the "earn a spaceship" idea...when we later have planetary landings and first person gameplay and choose to start a new character down on a planet somewhere!
The hyperdrive is something we would get hold of muuuuuch later.
Space stations are not exactly cheap to make and maintain. Moreover, the biggest population center at pb1 is I Bootis with about 2m people. If I could wager a guess, core systems that have more than one colonized worlds are going to get more stations inside the same system, and the same could work for systems with much higher populations.
Regarding Spaceports, I think that when the expansion hits we are going to have a lot more places to dock and interact with. Remember that each and every orbit station is made as an intermediary between the planet and the rest of the world (essentially providing a check-point for trading, customs, immigration etc), so it would not be weird if we saw the possible docking locations at least double.
