¿Por qué ofreces acceso anticipado?

«The game is being developed by a single programmer. The game is in playable state and needs feedback from the community. While the game is ready for playing, it will take me much longer to get to the final version.»

¿Cuánto tiempo va a estar este juego en acceso anticipado aproximadamente?

«This is coming straight from pre-alpha version. Based on the amount of time I can allocate to the game development, it might take over a year or two before there is a finished product.»

¿Qué diferencias habrá entre la versión completa y la versión de acceso anticipado?

«I plan for the final version to allow in-game factions (otherwise most commonly known as a clan of players) to create a nation by grouping other factions together. These nations will be able to colonise and manage planets.

There is also a plan for repeatable special events, at least once per week.

Once there is a full version, there are plans to create an option for monthly subscription to the game, giving the player some advantages over the other players. Although, nothing overpowered, as I am definitely going to avoid the pay-to-win system.»

¿Cuál es el estado actual de la versión de acceso anticipado?

«- The global map has currently 1 sector (25 systems, in a grid 5x5) available for playing - upon registering in the game, player cannot use hyper-jump as he doesn't have an engine equipped, instead, the player can fly on his own to reach the next system;
- There are 5 NPC factions;
- 8 space station types a player in a faction can build;
- 12 player ships (6 small and 6 medium sized ships) that can be produced by player-made space station with station type 'Shipyard';
- 3 kinds of weapons (projectile, energy, explosive), each with 3 types (heavy, standard, ranged);
- 3 types of ship repair robot;
- 6 defense items (3 armors and 3 shields);
- 3 types of engines;
- Asteroids mining;
- Chained and repeatable missions - to accept a mission, you have to land on a space station first;
- flying in a squadron with your friends;
- creating a faction with other players and managing the diplomacy with other factions;
- purely player based economy system - players are the ones who can craft new equipment and items in the game through space station factories. Each space station has it's own item list in can shop with, meaning each station can produce and consume different items and equipment. Players cannot craft new items outside space station factories.»

¿El precio del juego será diferente durante y después del acceso anticipado?
