Pioneer dev forum

First of all - the route planner is terrific! A really fantastic addition to the game. There are just a few things that may need some tweaking: 1) Show a process bar or something while the calculation is processing. I just planned a route from Epsilon Eridani to the home of the Haber Corporation. Ab...

Will they be included in the game at some point or will they be only shared as additional module that we have to download here?

Nice! Pioneer sounds and music are really underdeveloped right now. But they contribute a lot to the overall atmosphere. I wish at some point we would have a sound person that guides this aspect of the game as much as nozmajner does for visuals.

I fully support the idea, nozmajner. The points you made also provide more options for gameplay, which is nice (fragile cargo, grumpy/bumpy passengers, etc.). But we do need a g-meter on the HUD then.

Wow. Which one of the ships is it for?

What's the aim? I'd say the main aim is to enhance the perception of size of the galaxy and the star systems. To get that across there needs to be a relative comparison. If "regular" traffic would be going through wormholes, which is quick, then traveling without such means could take ver...

Really great ideas! It would put "searching" back into the "Search & Rescue" missions. I like the "save a specific pattern on the scanner" part.

Take for example the oft-repeated desire to just explore, peacefully, and find new things. That, I believe, is one of the most unnecessary weaknesses of Pioneer. We (well, "we", excluding me... :)) spent the effort to create a seemingly endless universe full of systems that appear to oper...

I think in any game (where you play as a character), you need to be able to relate to the character. Or imagine yourself as that character. Or at least care for it. In some way. Or is this false? YES! In relation to Pioneer, this is why I always hated "being the ship" in Frontier. I wante...

As long as we only make stuff better than Frontier, (like better UI, more information, more missions, more/nicer ships and buildings), we are not in any risk of angering the "type 2" player. I would be disappointed if that is where we'll settle. I know we all nibble at it in our spare tim...
