Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'I am a one man team and early access is a great way to support the game and help me out with your feedback, to grow a community and get some ideas from you that just didn't come to my mind.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'The game has most of the core elements implemented. A system to simply add more content is in place.
The full, correct length of the early access phase is not foreseeable.
If I will just implement my ideas, I predict about a year from the start of the early access release.
If the community comes up with the best ideas ever, that I can not just NOT implement, it might take longer.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'More content!
I will add more ships/items/modules.
2 new ship types are planned:
- a bomber type specialized in cracking the hull of big structures and ships
- a trader type to haul items between your station and trade platforms/planets
Optimizing the gameplay
I want to deliver the best possible experience. Is the gameplay too slow? Is it too fast? Those kind of questions will be solved during early access.
Balancing!
With adding more content, a lot of work has to be put in balancing the gameplay. That's a big part why I need you!
Art style
The user interface will get a face lift to make it coherent, the 3D models will see some changes to give them more detail when zoomed in.
Research
The research system in the game is a proof of concept. Right now you have researches that can change stats of ships/the station and unlock new ships and modules. Some researches are dependend on others.
Beside reworking the research UI, adding a vast research tree is planned.
AI
The AI of friendly and enemy ships will be tweaked to make them more believable.
and last but not least - Performance
I want this game to be enjoyable for as many people as possible, so I will make it as performant as possible.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The game is in a good playable state and contains most of the core elements.

• You can explore a procedurally generated universe with multiple galaxies. Each Galaxy has a mix of handcrafted and generated sectors.
  
• You can mine the asteroids in the sectors and refine their resources to craft helpful items, modules and ships.
  
• An inventory system that let's you manage your resources, refine them into better materials to build modules and ships... or toss them into space if you run out of storage space.
  
• You can research new technologies to make survival in space easier.
  
• A trade system is in place. At the moment, you can trade with planets and mobile traders.
  
• You have 2 types of ships available (fighters and haulers), each type has 2 ships (a small and a medium variant). Let those fight against the constant attacks of space pirates!
