Neden Erken Erişim?

"My last game (Starcom: Nexus) benefitted tremendously from a year in Early Access, both in polishing the mechanics and developing the story. "Starcom: Unknown Space" has some new game mechanics that I think would benefit from lots of player feedback. More importantly, a significant amount of content remains to be created. I want to hear from players what kinds of stories and missions they'd like to see more of, which combat encounters are the most fun, what ship builds they'd like to be able to make, etc."

Bu oyun ne kadar süre için Erken Erişim'de olacak?

"It's cliché, but "as long as it takes". I expect the game to be in Early Access for at least six months, but am prepared to spend longer if necessary to make the experience the best it can be. It will not leave EA until the main storyline is complete."

Erken Erişim versiyonunun tam versiyonundan ne kadar farklı olması planlanıyor?

"The largest difference will be in the amount of content: the length of the main story, number of side-quests, off-path exploration areas, alien factions, anomalies, etc.

While most the core game mechanics and features are fully implemented, they are continuously undergoing balance changes and expansion."

Erken Erişim sürümünün şu anki durumu nedir?

"The game is fully playable with a fairly high level of polish. All features described in the "About this Game" section are implemented, although new content, weapons, technologies, etc. are being added with each update.

As of December 2023, first-time players of the latest Early Access version (Icarus) typically take around 20 hours to reach the current (placeholder) end of the main story line.

The game's FAQ in the discussion forums answers some common questions about the game's current and planned state."

Erken Erişim sırasında ve sonrasında oyunun fiyatı değişecek mi?

"Yes, the price will go up shortly before the game graduates from Early Access. This change will be announced well in advance."

Topluluğu, geliştirme sürecine nasıl dahil etmeyi düşünüyorsunuz?

"Players can give direct feedback in multiple ways:

• Directly in-game via a quick feedback form
  
• Through the game's Steam Community section

I'll be posting regular updates in the Steam Discussion forum as well as on the game's blog."
