Even though I'm in an Org, a simple homestead would be nice. Having a garden on top of certain buildings and vines hanging down to help camouflage a structure would be nice too. Thanks for the video!

[@Furnace2552-cz8iy]

Same, my org will probably have a very large base somewhere but I want to have a little hunting cabin somewhere.

[@Skavenblight13]

Would be cool when CiG would work out a personal Base Building and a Orga Based Base Building with the Orga as owner of the Building. The same with the big Space Station. Would be sad if it´s "Orga" but is owned by one Player.

[@Jeddingfry]

I really am struggling with how this will work. With persistence, server meshing, and how small these worlds are. Space for bases will be a premium. Meaning having one will require you to keep it.

[@boabplz4107]

The dream for me is a self sustaining ranch - a few buildings, a medium hanger and a large landing pad - A few hundred Quasi Grazers or whatever the meta animal is for making money, and enough hydroponic buildings to feed the herd. Tucked into a little canyon or valley a little way off from the major trade routes in an unclaimed system. And enough defenses to put Copperhead Road to shame.

I would like to build underground bunkers for asset storage. Would be nice to see secret, covert, and hidden structures that allowed us to save valuables near our outposts.

[@echoct506]

Homesteads are going to add so many more inactive entities... Poor servers.

[@Rockndolls]

There should be IA colonists just to make the empty houses alive. And being able to go inside to steal like in lockers done for that. For example you've to build a core. That core has a locker (the loot spot). You don't put anything in there. It's just for decoration (and the core is needed to build an home) and someone can break in where you're offline to steal in that locker. If you're online in the base radius, they can raid the base if it's in a dangerous zone and have a possibility to ask for help.

[@elvyynn]

Starchitect will do this too, way more NPC settlements that we have now However we should have dynamic meshing by the time these features come online

[@amineabdz]

My understanding is that they would be stateless ( streamed out from server, as they would just be stored in DB, so the server entity tracker won't check on them ) if there is no player or any event close to that location, once something "triggers" that entity to be loaded, it will be tracked and become streamed in on the server, only then it would impact the server's processing power. This is the only solution for Star Citizen's scale, as it's impossible to simulate the PU if the server tracks and updates every single thing all the time.

[@luistigerfox]

@@amineabdz this is correct. They're streamed in and out based on players being in proximity. Also, all the stuff mag locked and planted in the ground should be able to be handled much more differently than say, cruz lux bottles or ships, or players. As they can be relatively static, without needing to invoke the physics system.

[@BigSneed404]

​@@elvyynnMy concern with this is purely practical. Okay, let's say for example Microtech has thirty servers dynamically attached to it because of the large amount of activity on it. And, without a subscription to play the game, how exactly does CIG intend to pay Amazon for all of these servers?

[@YeezyTeezy]

I plan on mostly playing a solo pve bounty hunter life so I will most likely just have a small homestead somewhere to rearm and rest and only visit stations to deliver "cargo" and refuel and buy stuff I need.

[@JoeBlow-u8f]

A small hidden plot in the forest with a view for a getaway would be keen.

[@mattp1337]

I really really hope we eventually see more station sizes and styles, but it's definitely something for post-1.0 expansion. Let's get to Minimum Viable Product first.

[@redicanprime1181]

Thank you for being a promoter of this massive project. I'm drained from all the negativity and skepticism from other "Pledgers." Just commit your pledges, pickup your complimentary ship for your contribution to the cause and wait it out. I've been around ten years plus and it hasn't hurt anyone.

[@Glathgrundel]

I hope we get access to assets like trees & shrubbery. Would be great to build within a forest and arrange the flora around my homestead.

[@squimp1711]

I want to find a remote planet with beautiful scenery and build a little homestead near the water.

[@Glathgrundel]

I'm actually going to hold off building until Castra ... nice little frontier style homestead in the forest under Sherman. microTech is tempting, but I'm so over Stanton and want to live somewhere else.

[@jacksonbarkerthebluehairedfox]

Being able to rent spots on your base out to other players means we can legit build our own towns and cities. I'm so looking forward to that!

[@qwarq]

Hexagon border should be implemented rather than squares land plots .

[@Glathgrundel]

Or circular plots, so that even with the neighbour's exclusion zone abutting yours, there is a gap where someone can land. Squares won't work unless they are forced to be aligned North / South.

[@HillyBilly.]

Just looking forward to a fresh start and some pyro sight seeing!

[@reamoinmcdonachadh9519]

I would like to rent a Hab in New Babbage, with a view and a landing pad. Or on one of those Platforms in Orison, on Crusader. Imagine, waking in your hab, (which you can decorate and equip) to walking out to your Landing Pad, take your small snub Transport or small ship to Space Port, get in your Hangar, and pick your ship that you are gonna use that day to do whatever game loop you wanted to do at that time.

[@Glathgrundel]

100% same. Take the elevator to the rooftop landing pad, fly my snub to the spaceport or to a local FPS (urban) mission. Preferably in one of the many OTHER buildings, street level access to vehicle garages, transit and other locations in the city, etc. Also renting commercial buildings like vehicle upgrade facilities, crafting factories and player shops selling looted and crafted items ... bars with mission givers, org headquarters (whole buildings w/ multiple apartments and facilities. Eventually, it would be great to have them as persistent locations like a land claim, not just an instanced interior that is dropped wherever is available. I would even be OK with dropping real world money into buying a permanent place in the 'verse.

[@DamielBE]

"only limited by your imagination...and desyncs" that really cracked me up!

[@gwebby87]

I'm looking to make a material store/ trading post for parts. As I love to gather and hoard materials

[@Tanksworkshop]

I have an MSR. All kinds of servers and computer banks. Supposed to be for storing data for data running. Can those, or any NPC blades be swapped out for computers to do research instead in the future? What if I just really like the ship and would like it doing something besides running data, especially since that's probably some time away?

[@Skavenblight13]

I was never so hyped to get access to own housing/Basebuidling as with Star Citizen. Other MMOs should take notes... Yeah, I mean you World of Warcraft, we have waited over 20 years for it. :-)

[@Mike5Brown]

Don't actually want a base I just want a little chalet Also I'm not certain it's the best idea to have bases be untouchable if the owner is not logged in because that just means that organizations will have a dedicated base owner account that will more or less never login

[@seanboundy5368]

I want to be able to hunt for my own food, and cook them on my own grill... I saw a hotdog grill in one of the Pyro stations.. it needs to be functional

[@beeleaveme]

How base building will work at Crusader? A gas planet where you can't land, CIG already talked about it?

[@Glathgrundel]

Maybe you buy a decommissioned barge instead of a land-claim, then you can build whatever will fit onto the available surface? Maybe a claim will spawn a small platform away from Orison?

[@Bongus75]

Brilliant report! Thank you, Sir

[@hans_____]

They're designing this game to prevent you from ever stopping playing or taking an extended break from the game because if you stop playing, you stop paying the protection fee, and all your stuff gets taken away. If you start playing, you must then play forever unless you're okay with another wipe essentially. I'm not interested in giving the game control over my life.

[@Jeddingfry]

Exactly what I'm worried about. They're designing this game around time sinks like you get in major guilds in other MMOs. With required times you have to be online no negotiation. They're designing large ships to be like 24/7 guild raid commitments. It's a very bad game design.

[@snaggletoof1927]

I predict I will spend tons of time focusing on base building once it's introduced. Or equipment manufacturing. Heck, all building in general.

[@KeeperOfDGroove]

[@CitizenNerd]

give me the option to have a small base with cargo capacity out of the wahoo so i can mine for liek 100 hrs and stack it up. refinery would be cool but not a "NEED"

[@Reurbo]

My 2 questions are: 1) Will the owner of a base be whomever builds it or how will those who build a base or someone else or for their org grant permissions (set ownership) to someone else? 2) With the mention of attacking a base requiring the attacker be on the same shard as the base owner while they are online, what's to stop people from making a second account to grant ownership to but then never login with? If base permissions can allow you to set the owner of a base but still allow a secondary admin for it, you'd only need to regularly send UEC to the owner account to keep paying for the planetary shield money sink (if you even go that route).

I can't get excited about things that look like they're 5 years from being in the Alpha and 10 years from being polished anymore. I'm not very demanding, I'm content hauling cargo and killing NPCs, but all these years of concepts and teasers have made me jaded. I'm excited about overall stability and performance being improved, though, I'll happily have my ear talked off about that for years. Tell me about new features in the patch notes, that's enough for me. That says nothing about SMB's videos, of course, they're fantastic and I enjoy watching them without end! I draw some second-hand enthusiasm from that at least.

[@AccidentalFriendlyFire]

The rate at which things are being added is increasing. Five years? With ten for polish? I think you're being a bit pessimistic there. :-) There are signs it's coming within the twelve month time frame, not the 12-18 we heard, and definitely not outside it.

[@Crittek]

Stability and performance will be one of the last things before 1.0 because that’s how software development should be done.

[@VinePest]

@@AccidentalFriendlyFire I really want to believe you, but there have been so many delays, inconsistent communication (Todd Papy saying stuff, Todd Papy going away, stuff changes, things happen, which is normal) that I like to settle into things I can do right now and take breaks here and there.

@@AccidentalFriendlyFireyou just couldn’t read this guys comment without feeling like you had to defend a billion dollar company. You are coping.

[@VinePest]

@@Crittek definitely true for the average project, but as things stand, SC needs continuous and increasing funding. imo this is realistically achieved when new players can come in and find a stable slice of the game to play, which makes them want to spend more (which I don't encourage personally, but it's their money). Building the thing in peace and having something playable at the same time is a very hard and possibly inefficient balance to achieve.. I don't envy anybody who is working on this thing, but I value their work and one day it will be very interesting to look back and see what went right and wrong.

Or...our own Asteroid bases , we can grab one with a SRV or something get a bunch of them together and have our own Grim Hex 😊

[@jamescossey6372]

When it comes to PVP in bases, they are going to have to change their plans. The short-term it's fine. One organization will never be able to blockade another organization base. Say the defending organization has enough manpower to keep the enemy at Bay, but not enough to push them back. If the attackers tried to put up a blockade at Homestead eventually they will run out of the ammunition and supplies. All the Defenders have to do is send a couple players to a different server to go get supplies and bring it back. Because of things like this in the long term they cannot have your base on multiple servers. This applies to a lot of things even contested zones. Let's say there are 100 different servers. And you have one massive org. If there's a weekly reset on the contested zones. That large org might send a small group of players to each server. To keep track of and slowed the progress of contested zones. Then the main group of let's say 100 players jumps between server and clears the contestant zones one at a time. Best guarantees they get almost all of the loot. Now I understand whether it's one server or 100 that they can control the loot. The big difference is whether they get loot once or 100 times. Especially when there's going to be rare recipes.

[@1inchPunchBowl]

But here you are anyway, commenting about it. Just walk away & play something else?

[@GomulDart]

Seeing some of this being implemented in the next 2-3 years, and then seeing it completed, finalized, and polished by year 5 is a very reasonable expectation considering CIG's track record. I'd agree 10 years is a bit pessimistic, but then again SQ42 was supposed to be ready in 2016 (but basebuliding also isn't an entirely separate game either). But still, I understand why people want to keep their expectations low. As they say, keep your expectations low and youll never be disappointed. Game development is messy and delays happen, we all know this here. So giving a 'buffer' is generally a good idea. Especially as a content creator- you don't want to come off as *too* optimistic and sell people a reality that might be unreasonable. If Mac says 1-3 years or something- and many players take that and run with it. they might be disappointed down the line when/if it takes longer Personally I think we'll see base build in game within the next 2 years, and it will be mostly complete, and then take another 2 years or so to iron out some details, balancing, and add some extra features / polish. I.e. the first year its released will be the functional framework- and then more styles, building parts, quality of life stuff, smaller features, etc will be added later.

Isn't an asteroid base what one of the default hangars that comes with our ships is?

I'm going to add a pretty important correction here: CIG was very clear that planetary shields (whether in high security areas or by winning the weekly bidding wars in Nyx and Pyro) are the only ways for your base to be safe, and it will be SAFE, regardless of your online/offline status. If you do not have planetary shields, you can have your own shields on your base that make it invulnerable, but they can be turned off by other players, and the base is still considered vulnerable AT ALL TIMES. The only thing a player's online/offline status does is, if you attack a base that is vulnerable AND THE OWNER IS ONLINE, you must be on the same shard to attack it, and if you aren't you'll be given a prompt to join their shard so you CAN attack it. If they're offline, whoever attacks it first is the shard it's getting attacked in because bases can only be raided in one shard at a time. Players being offline doesn't do anything at all to protect them. That just means they don't have the opportunity to defend them. So if you want to keep your base from being raided, keep them planetary shields up all the time, and it won't matter if you're offline or not. Because being online when your base is attacked two jumps away also sucks for you, because they'll be able to be in your shard and you won't know...

"a place so remote that nobody will ever find it" Flashbacks to the time when No Mans Sky claimed that their universe was so big that nobody would ever be able to find each other, and yet in the matter of days, people did find the same locations.... I have the creeping suspicion that people will come across the most remote locations regardless....

Especially with Explorer class ships with advanced long range scanning... you know, in 10 years

[@WigganNuG]

CIG could of course create some kind of uber scanner and find EVERYTHING on the planet but that would be OP, obviously. Even with advanced scanning, having counter measures that base builders could use to cloak their small visually hidden homesteads would have to a thing as well. These planets are so big that if people find a random spot in a forest on mircrotech, the likelihood of someone finding you should be incredibly low. I really want stealth building to be thing.

When it comes to stealing players stuff "Make it tough, make it very tough" I don't know that they could make a system tough enough, while still being gameplay. Escaping prison is tough, very tough, but you have people essentially speed running it. That being said, if Pyro and other "pvp" systems end up being a troll fest, so be it I suppose, if that's what th players want, then murder and... steal... hobo, I guess, to your hearts content.
