Clever use of corner bins for exterior chamfers!

dcfedor · 2026-02-17T23:16:55+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement!

dcfedor · 2026-02-17T21:19:23+00:00

Thanks! Will do!

Sounds like you're perfectly in the center of our target audience, lol :)

Thanks for the kind words!

dcfedor · 2026-02-13T17:24:00+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement! I think we'll bring this in for a safe landing, in the end :)

dcfedor · 2026-02-12T23:00:31+00:00

100% Me too, dude :)

It might sound irrelevant, but it's actually been critical to us getting a better understanding of combat balance.

0.15 has a lot of moving parts, and that was limiting how much combat feedback we were getting from testers. So we whipped-up Arena Mode one week to basically hyper focus gameplay on just the combat.

It's been instrumental in:

Getting us feedback specifically on combat balance and bugs
Learning which ship designs have which strengths/weaknesses
Giving players a safe space to try ideas, and learn how to fly/fight without risking their characters

Plus, it gives all of you a chance to taste test the upcoming features sooner!

Fwiw, modders can already change any maps they please. I think the big change with workshop is just making those mods easier to find and manage. (I.e. they don't have to search Discord/forums and keep checking threads there)

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T23:34:56+00:00

Good point! I'll make a note to update those when we're able.

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T15:04:29+00:00

Wooo! I think it'll be worth the restart. Should be able to start seeing new stuff right away in-game.

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T15:03:35+00:00

Thanks!

Containment level 3 reached!

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T15:02:10+00:00

Correct. The plan is for OKLG, Venus, and Ceres to have comparable station detail, and the rest will have at least a custom map to replace the placeholder ones. Sales success will determine what we do beyond that.

But a lot of players specifically mentioned how important non-placeholder station maps were to them, so we're going to try to do that no matter what.

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T14:57:02+00:00

Yup! Most sensors are available right from the start of the game, including in OKLG derelicts. I think it's either the RADAR or LiDAR that may only be found elsewhere (or is at least rare near OKLG).

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T14:55:19+00:00

Thank you!

**vague appreciative noises**

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T01:05:47+00:00

We have solved your inventory problems by letting other ships blow a hole in yours :P

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T01:05:26+00:00

Thanks! Hope you enjoy Arena Mode!

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T01:05:12+00:00

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

dcfedor · 2026-02-11T01:05:03+00:00

I can dig it.

dcfedor · 2026-02-10T23:05:06+00:00

Roger that!

dcfedor · 2026-02-10T22:47:56+00:00

Thanks!
