为何要采用抢先体验这种模式？

“The Last Starship is the most ambitious project we have ever attempted and we cannot achieve the full scope of our ambition without the support of a committed and engaged community. From ship design and equipment types to mission development, world-building and story, all aspects of this game will be developed over time and with feedback from the players. We promise that from Alpha 1 you will have a deep and enriching game experience, that will continue to increase month by month as we layer in new systems, content and technology.”

这款游戏的抢先体验状态大约持续多久？

“We anticipate being in early access for several years, however we promise to provide regular, roughly monthly - 6 weekly build updates as the game develops and increases in complexity and scope, based on feedback from the Early Access community. We aim to be responsive to the requests and needs of the player base and will be providing updates for as long as there is an audience to play them!”

计划中的完整版本和抢先体验版本到底有多少不同？

“We do not view development as a short Early Access phase, followed by a V1 launch. Instead, we see a continuous path towards an ever bigger universe with a complex system of systems approach to start-up and fleet design. At some point in the distant future we may label a build version 1.0, however the step up from Early Access will not be large.”

抢先体验版本的现状如何？

“At present you can design your hull shape and customise the internal layout and equipment package of your starship. Ships can be shared via steamworks and our combat system intelligently picks an enemy fleet with a similar military capability to your own warship. You can also test your design against a limited number of procedurally generated missions that vary in objective and difficulty. The build is constantly changing and improving and to see the current state of the build please visit our you tube channel.”

在抢先体验期间和结束之后，游戏价格会有所不同吗？

“Introversion promises only ever to charge you once, after which all future updates to the game will be free. This is both during Early Access and post Version 1.0. Pricing may vary during steam sales.”

在开发过程中，你们是如何计划让玩家社区参与进来的？

“To support each update, Mark and Chris will release a YouTube video describing the update and the inspiration behind it. We will be occasionally available for Reddit AMAs and will monitor the discord server / steam forums. We can’t spend a huge amount of time engaging on a 1:1 level, because we have a game to make, but we plan to work in the same way in which we developed Prison Architect - we steer the ship, but you can suggest a course…”
