State of the Game

another day of silence from fdev on what's up with patch 6 ....and when we'll be able to craft our own dredgers and how the new salvage role will fit in with the rest of the game (along with the balance pass of large scale ship combat in prep for panther clipper and more combat oriented dredgers)

You forgot ship interiors. Oh, and Powerplay! (I really don't want to end up as a succulent burger, so I thought I'd better add that).

ship interiors just ...not happening. they never even bothered to finish damage models and as a personal eye candy thing, would take too much work to be cost effective.

powerplay will never get any attention. ever. I'm pretty sure powerplay touched Braben when he was younger. It only remains in the game because it would cost money to remove it.
 
Well apparently FD had a dev meeting about Powerplay and went like this:

And then they all dropped to the floor 'and fell asleep'.
 
yes.... but I suspect we're all geeks at heart, and geeks love learning stuff...
And there is no better way to learn how something works by break-opening it to see the mechanism inside.
I still can see furious face of my grandpa when I "researched" his family family heirloom wristwatch this way.
Unfortunately it was a hard case and it took a lot of hitting with a reasonable large stone for the watch to show me it's secrets.
I was 3 or 4 yo.

It would be an interesting poll of those on this thread to see just how many people are guilty of similar dismantling behaviours as kids!!! I suspect it might be quite close to 100%...

Pro tip : don't break-open "walls" to subconsciousness BEFORE you have extensive knowledge how it SHOULD work.
I did it prematurely, so I had to cope with chaotic mess that poured out AND do research on this subject simultaneously.

It was intense, and I was on the verge of failing for extended period of time, but I don't regret anything.

Sometimes you just can't keep patching the code, you need to rewrite most of it from the scratch.
 
I'm like One Punch Man. I broke my limiter and now I sit here having an existential crisis.
Existential crisis is a myth, a misunderstanding.

It's absolutely nothing you should worry about.

It just signals you are ready to "grow out" of your previous shell, and that subconsciousness gracefully granted you rights/privilage to make some conscious choices about your next form.
Just be wise and predict consequences of every brick/idea you decide to use there.
 
Just a heads up ...

It's now expected that you specify if you are a kickstarter backer when creating or responding to threads. LEP is no longer the goto.
