To bad.  Its my strip club.   Punners get half price drinks.
I might just call it Puns & Buns.

^...just that little office space out by the airlock........

We've, 'commandeered' the rest of it for our own nefarious purposes.

I was just going to name it Gus's and have no rules for admission, just like here.

Ummm.. yeahhh.  And we're gonna need you to come in on Sunday too.  Yeahhh.

We should probably start with that castle we found in France and move up to space stations after we get some experience.

Meh.

In all my experiences with games featuring spaceships, walking around inside of them has been utterly useless fluff.  Dev time that would've been spent better elsewhere.

But for some reason, a vocal portion of players always clamor for it.  And then nobody bothers using it much.  Most recent examples being Eve Online and STO, off the top of my head.  ::)

Seems more than that planned...

Of course walking round your ship will be nice, but it is the just springboard for a very significant expansion of gameplay – you will be able to experience the inside of starports and interact with other players and AI characters, and even board other people's ships in space and take them by force, as shown in this concept piece.

Latest newsletter out as we are very close to the official beta 1 launch on July 29th.....

Kind of the first controversy that I have seen....they will have the ability for players to BUY additional ship skins/paint jobs, but you will need to pay with real money...start of microtransactions.   To me not a huge deal since optional, but just curious on how far they take it eventually.  Hopefully nothing too critical is ever released that way to force people to invest more into the game.....I guess we'll see.  These will be available for purchase when the beta starts next week.  Also curious on how much they will cost:)
