OPEN SPACE

[26589155]

Lets us say few words about this topic

 

I know devs reworked open space ( OS ) recently but in my eyes, it is still just not really open space.

Since we know some things about real space now this in-game  OS is boring and without any imagination.

Also, it is idio tic for me that I have to farm weapons from NPCs ( weapons should be obtained with ships or researched ) and collect rocks …we should farm minerals from asteroid fields…

 

 

How should OS look in my eyes?

 

It should contain some Nebulas - so some systems or parts of them with " gas fog " that would lower visibility and  sensor range from ships,

then we should have some Pulsar- stars close to a system that would make radiation damage to the hull of the ships so hull would slowly decrease, 

then we should have the asteroid fields that would make bigger ships hit rocks also asteroid fields that can be mined for resources with special mining ships,

Stations-outposts that would be hidden for pilots with negative Karma – so-called pirates.  

Where are wormholes?  We should have them, some should be stable and some with random destination jump point.

Where are Black holes that would pull ships toward it? 

So much more is possible in OS basically all you need is imagination.

 

Really people space game is the ultimate game for people with imagination but this is just boring OS made for grinding.

This is purely my opinion below: (We need to be sincere here.)

 

 

Developers obviously never played Freelancer or Starlancer. They never thought that this game would become so popular and last for so long.

Nebulas, anomalies, wormholes, ship debris, satellites, asteroid stations, rare minerals scattered around, booby traps, bounty hunters, alliances, capital ships, stations, outposts, active defenses…

This game is very basic in its design. As such, it must have been very cheap to produce, more like a learning tool. Still, it looks good, even as such, but the problem lies in the core gameplay - PvP.

 

You can’t expect much at this point. They are most likely solely dedicated to Crossout.

This game probably no longer interest them as much and they are only allocating available time to it, nothing more.

Star Conflict a thing of the past, but it’s still getting enough funds to support and fund other projects, just not itself anymore, like it used to be.

The game is getting barely any attention, that’s why the progress is so slow and cumbersome, and I doubt that is going to change, ever. We can expect one (minor) update every few weeks.

Forums are almost unmoderated, no official feedback is given, it’s clear that it’s no longer in their interest to make some more efforts to rectify this situation at this time, maybe not at all.

 

In short, don’t ask for anything, don’t hope for anything, don’t expect anything, don’t believe in anything, don’t bother with anything at all, and you will be fine when it comes to this game.

 

Well, except for bug reports that are not getting fixed as much as one would expect them to be. But still, you got to believe in something. It’s what keeps us going.

Yep, so many questions, but there is no one to answer.  
Where are everybody?
Did the Devs are on vacacion?
Or they don’t have time and just ignore us, because they are too busy with preparing some HUGE update? Hardly.  
Where is this big update which CinnamonFake talk about a while ago (last year about OS).
There is no stream with devs anymore.
I remember they was talking about this green alien structures in OS…something will change with them…nothing happened. Just some changed backgrounds and “empty” new maps.
Where is CinnamonFake?
No active topics for Q & A Section (Devs version).

Legit questions. But I think you can answer them all by yourself. Then you can draw the conclusion. Then may stop asking more questions. Unless you speak russian because the rus forum is a different world.

Sometimes I read between the lines. I already get the most answers when I read Koromac’s post again, and i’m sorry for my needless post above, but I already post it, it was tooooo late.  

I regret there is no delete button. Thanks.

 

P.S. I read in the russian forums too, but the situation is not different.
I’d better to stop crying and shut my mouth.

Someone PLEASE buy out Star Conflict so that we can start more active and interactive development. I want all of this and more yet here we are.

All of this is very much possible AND easy (mostly copypasta of other over-designed things in the game) so the devs really have no excuse.

If they do have an excuse I’d like to hear it from them. But no they wouldn’t even dedicate enough time to make a quick comment on why the game is the way it is.
