The exploration component is why this is currently top of my list.

[@Niodium]

Agreed. That sense of wonder and discovery. I hope the quality of the graphics and content, i.e. things there are to see and experience, are really good. Eventually anyway. Clearly the creation of amazing things to find in space is going to take some time and effort. In turn this makes me think that they need to open the game to modders, and let the community create stuff. There are some wonderfully talented and creative modders out there.

yea depending on your role or what the captain mission directive is, game could have you explore a planet for signs of life or maybe exploring a dereliced Ruin or space station. tho main theme is exploration some danger or combat might make thing interest. tho make that a setting for new game starting options/menu so you can adjust the experiance.

[@kessilrun6754]

Looks very promising! I'm in! The ships actually look like the ships from the Lost in Space Netflix series, Which was a really good series that didn't get the attention that it deserved.

[@davewills6121]

Actually looks like my CD Cady?

[@FiliusFidelis]

No kidding it looks heavily "inspired" by Star Trek, every single part of it screams Star Trek from the Warp Reactor to the Bridge, heck the ships outward appearance is pretty much that of a Miranda Class minus the Warp Nacelles. Not saying this is a bad thing mind you :) Also I thought that the distance to planets in the Sol system being measured in AU's and Stars in LY's was a nice touch.

[@davewills6121]

The general concept of "warp drive" was introduced by John W. Campbell in his 1957 novel Islands of Space and was popularized by the Star Trek series, abd the ship resembles a CD Cady, not a ship

Very few games go deep into simulating the systems of the ships in the game. This one does well at it. At least for the proof of concept that it is thus far. Star Citizen is trying, but I have yet to see enough detail in the engineering parts to make it interesting. Hopefully SC will get there. I am very interested to see where Starship Simulator goes.

[@LordOfLight]

For exploration to work there has to be something interesting to explore.

[@CommanderM117]

true a tho i doubt the dev will be able to fully fill the universe with content alone some of it going to need to be done proceedurally like random planet scans and boom discovery or ship based stuff as well, like science doing questionable expierments, and creating AI or a mutated Monster from a hamster. tho Workshop content could be a way to add content as well

[@r00tyschannel52]

I think I'm a "wait and see" on this. I feel like the demo is too early access to make a good guess on where it will go. What I do like is the whole ship formula, and the simulation of the power systems. There's a LOT of empty space in that ship to fill (and I hope there might be other designs of ship perhaps too). I see arguments here about lack of other activities/people on the ship and my view is that I just hope this is part of the extremely early state of the demo and that these will come into play. Moreover, I see power supplies for shield and weapon systems. Which opens the door for missions that could include space battles. On that count, I'm also tentatively hopeful for optional multiplayer (same ship and multiple ships). I'm thinking MMO level multi ship battles as somewhat wishful thinking, but could be very interesting. Something akin to elite dangerous where you can join/get a ship that is more suited to space battles, exploration, science or some balanced choice and missions appropriate to that could be taken up. I think this shows a lot of promise, but as is very common with the genre that is so hit and miss. It could go either way. If the developers are reading comments here. On any kickstarter created for this project, I think making a good concise overview (I know it sounds a bit like a contradiction in terms, but hope you know what I mean) of what you intend to make in a finished game is important. Personally any decision to back a project like this really would depend on what the intentions for any final product will be.

[@tuff9486]

The game will have many planets that you can land on, take samples. with thousands of species on each planet, or nothing at all depending on it´s atmoshpere. Anyways you will have a lot of materials you can find, mine and extract to change components of the game. Every panel, every station can be damaged, and most be repaired or replaced. Even the cables that run along the way. So if you find a new mineral that conducts electricity more efficiently. The poor sod in engineering will have to start producing them, and replacing every cable in the ship

[@python27au]

@@tuff9486 sounds like something i could get into. Does it have first contact type events?

[@tuff9486]

@@python27au Right now, it has few features except travalling around and scanning planets for limited information. and turning on and off the reactor, which takes a while. But in the finished version of the game it will add alien races, and many first contact missions. The game will be portrayed as Humanity´s first venture into the stars. You are the first ship to ever be sent out. This means you will encounter both scripted and procedurally generated alien races. Some of which are so advanced that their existance, technology and motives are totally incomprehensible to us, as stated by the dev. It is up to you to first, decipher the alien language with your linguist on board. Or to wage war or whatever you want. Sometimes the aliens will give you missions or want help with something. Or they will attack on sight. With the scope of the galaxy, there might be millions of alien races. Thousands in each sector of the galaxy. The galaxy is so large that we will probably never discover all races and planets, which are procedurally generated.

[@steppahouse]

So I gave this a try a while back and followed the step-by-step instructions to start up the engines and such. Now, bear in mind that I'm a HUUUUUGE space game fan and have been since, well, Star Raiders on the Atari 2600 :) I came away from my experience with this sim thinking...who is this for? Who would want to know the very detailed (but absolutely necessary) processes involved with the engineering section on a fuax Star Trek starship? The number of people that would want to basically learn all of this stuff, basically a "study level" game, would be akin to those that learn all the aircraft ship systems on DCS sims, though probably a lot fewer in number :) Massive A+++ for ambition on this, but I'm just wondering who would want to do this by themselves? Or, on the other hand, who would want to sit belowdecks for engineering while someone is up on the bridge?

[@Cleeeer]

Those very people you mentioned. The reason this game has all playable roles is to appeal to all types of people. I don't personally have an appeal to engineering, helm or being a Captain but plenty of people will. I just want to be a chef on a starship, and luckily, it'll have that :D There are quite a few role-play groups already playing the game, and they always have very eager engineers :) If a role doesn't appeal to you, leave that job to an NPC.

[@steppahouse]

@@Cleeeer that's good to hear, honestly.

[@CommanderM117]

also what happen when ship take damage, when that mechanic gets added, how will the Engineer role handle it, as it may be complex or to simple, Currently it simple mostly and AI npcs can fufill the basic Engine/Power needs, but when hull damage or Structural integrity gets added then when you need somebody to man the Engineering system to make fast repairs. plus their going to be science roles and Medical those are also Kinda boring at least from a triple a standpoint, at the very least going by that tutorial the game will have medium to complex roles for players to do some will be simple like bridge crew or Janitor but other might be complex. either way i like it and i can barely play aircraft/Mechanic sims.

Yes, they are planned.

[@tuff9486]

a shuttle is able to be launched, or several shuttles. You can either use them to mine asteroids or land on planets. On the planets there will be able to be thousands of species. You can then study them, or look for minerals and stuff to use as components in your ship.

[@scootamcgruta]

This one could have potential for some great role playing/emergent game play if they get the multiplayer right. I could see a whole server being dedicated to one ship, and as you log in you get slotted into an open role. Seniority for positions could be based on time in the current session. I could see players all working toward a shared goal if the incentive is strong enough. Could also end up in mutiny and total chaos, which could be fun sometimes too. Just as long as it doesn't happen every play session.

private white listed servers would help keep things from getting out of control with mutiny or even just greifer and trolls .

[@Elethes]

By the comments of the devs, it feels like Sea of Thieves in space without ever going out of the ship. I am afraid that won't be enough, specially the multiplayer part.

[@Cleeeer]

There will be shuttles and planetary landings, so I'm not sure why you thought you couldn't go out of the ship.

[@tuff9486]

The multiplayer is not a necessity. The game is singleplayer, with the option of players joining. There is a 200 man bot crew. If a player joins, 1 bot is replaced. But there will be DLC campaings that are singleplayer only. You will not only leave the ship to repair certain parts of it, you can send probes or shuttles to asteroids or planets, upon which there might be thousands of species, plants, trees, and minerals. Minerals which can later be used to process and repurpose to use in your ship. Every wallpanel, every cable, every part of the ship can be damaged, replaced and upgraded by finding better minerals.

[@Elethes]

@@tuff9486 Ah, now that is a better picture then! My only perspective was the comments of the devs that ObsidianAnt presented in the video. Let's hope for the devs to actually deliver all these goals then. That would be the best case scenario for sure.

I doubt you could get a whole crew's worth of people to actually simulate doing their jobs on a ship. Who wants to be down in the reactor bay tuning power allocations, when his friends are fighting Reapers and such on the bridge?

There will be NPC on the ship doing all the jobs, so you can just stand on the bridge laughing at your friends stressing over fighting instead :D

[@CommanderM117]

so far their no combat so we got no ideal how it or Engineering to go when combat happens, also people seem to forget that when ship take damage it the Engineers that got to fix thing some time in the heat of battle, hell in star trek you sometime see Geordi on the bridge to ajust the ships powers to shields or weapons, he was chief Engineer so he could either work in engineering where the main powers of the ship is or the bridge that just displays the power. also remember that time the crew got drunks from disease or something and weasly took control of the ship from Engineering.

[@CommanderM117]

captain has the most stressful and hardest job on the ship both single player or MP as you run the ship but also it runs you. chef is probably easiest job or mid lvl your only job is to keep the crew fed and if game has a hunger system then you will see people often, your secondary role is to Improve Moral tho this is Optional. also Depending on the ship you may need more then 1 chef maybe 3 or 5, currently ship it just need 2 bridge/science chef and the lower decks chef, current mess hall is tiny.

In Star Trek, there's no evidence of weightlessness even when the ship has been badly damaged and ship systems are down.

Good their changing the aesthetic to something more their own. The Star Trek Vibe is a huge turn off for me.

as soon as I see the empty dead ship with just the player character walking around in it , I lost interest . I'm tired of big empty games that don't feel alive
