time to continue padding my post count with a new
TFTC:
-restatement of the goals around making player generated events (finding a new jump point, large battles, etc) into game lore with gamemasters acting as "news reporters" and adding them to a cross-universe news system.
-they are going to write something akin to "death of a spaceman" for capital ship stations and how they work and interact together. question was focused around a commander thing, which will apparently be an RTS view on a large holosphere thing. apparently part of DFMv3
-racing is planned as a game feature (not forgotten), with betting and spectator and such, with a sim mode similar to DFM
-orgs will have shared hangars for the whole org, along with being able to buy ships and loan them out to members, etc.
-updated information on how info gets shared through systems. time for the information to be delivered isn't fully decided but will be variable depending on location you are sending to/from (distance, infrastructure setup) and distance and the like
-you will have magnetic boots to move on ships in 0G, along with wall pushing and such. mainly describing artificial gravity on larger ships in boarding.
-you will be able to booby trap your cargo if you have to space it to avoid pirates taking yer stuff
-alpha stuff won't carry through to the beta (server will wipe). beta might carry through to release later in the beta, not fully decided
-the SQ42 missions after the first set will be designed to take place after you've left the military and joined the PU
-voice chat will work via a hailing system, but you'll be able to broadcast in a short range (although limits will be in place to hopefully hinder abuse).

I don't plan on upgrading to a better ship, at-least with RL money. I think I would prefer to scrape up my money together and work my way towards something better. Heck, I wouldn't even mind being a crew member on some of the larger ships.
if you want to join in on the pre-game fun,
we've set up an org here. Not really fleshed out yet but always willing to accept more people!
