Thought I'd jump on to see the progress, as I do periodically. I notice there seems to be a lot of spam.

Development & Discussion / Feed Back and Questions from newcomer.

Hi Mark and everyone.

New to the forum, having found this game and falling in love at first sight, had to come over to the forum and read every page.  :P

Firstly apologies if any of this has been said or asked before, if it has I could not see it.
A few bits of feedback from reading the forum.
Every image I have seen has been spectacular. The amount of polish you have already is outstanding, most of this feedback I have sent to mark on his Youtube channel.

The single player aspect looks very promising, this will have to be done well though, Pulsar is a great game in development but ruined for the single players by useless AI. I believe you can do it from what I have seen and this means not having to find a full crew for the lonely gamers out there (cough not me cough).  :)

In multiplayer I believe that pausing is essential and again needs to be done well, the voting between captains is a great idea, however in battle it could be abused, perhaps a voting system when not in (code red) battle. But still normal pause for single player, one of the greatest aspects of FTL is the pausing to work out your strategy.

I love the idea of the modular ship designs. This will allow the community to create some amazing designs. Something I didn't mention was how much I loved the rotating thrusters.

Integrating the modding scene in from the beginning is one of the best things you can do, IMO. The way you are going about it seems perfect too, having a base game and allowing modders to take from that. This will gain you a huge following.

The Press release looks amazing, really drew me in from the first. If you can create the artwork to go with it it will draw the world in.
Speaking of artwork the Kite Artwork looks sublime (running out of adjectives), so I don't see it being an issue.

A few questions.

What are your plans for the universe?
Will there be planets, different solar systems, different galaxies?
Will there be different factions?
Will there be a story? Whether going on in the background or the players taking part?
Will players be able to walk around the ships? If so will there be other things to consider such as player needs, food/drink? This could add a need for ship supplies and possible emergency planetary or station landing to find food or drink or meds etc.
You mentioned about away teams, will there be boarding parties onto other ships whether NPC or Other Crewed.?

Again sorry if any of this has been spoken of before.

Everything about this game has drawn me in from the get go, I cannot wait to get my hands on this. I saw you mentioned a possible crowd funder, If you do, you have one firm backer here!

I will do everything I can to help this game, I will be spreading the word everywhere I go. Please keep up the good work and I can't wait to see what comes next.
