I'm in the middle of building my own site where I will post my builds and such.  I am also adding  forum so we can start talking style guides and upload images and such.  I would be more than happy to open it up further so we can talk about a lot of other things too, if you guys want.  Should be done by the end of next weekend.
 
Or maybe I can just start a new one just for COPS instead?   If you guys want to do it, I can host it on my server and all I would ask is that someone get us a domain name so I can get started.  Take me about a week or so.
 
What do you think Kik?

Mining deep space asteroids is impractical, given how hard it would be to locate them, but asteroid belts might fit the bill for interstellar mining, since asteroids typically have nearly pure ores and resources in them, making them lucrative. Maybe some asteroids could come in or out of systems, making the dynamics just a little bit more interesting.

I'm hoping we do have asteroids.  I don't want to live on one, but it would be really cool to mine them. 

I just want space gypsies like me to have a way to harvest resources required or log out safely without constantly needing to revisit 'civilization' all the time

Wow!  I can't believe we have so many members now!  Awesome!  Welcome everyone!

By the way, Kiklix, I will seriously think about some communication channel, like private forum, slack, discord and so on. Maybe it is preemptive, but we grow fast and we soon will need something to discuss in more comfortable (and more private!) conditions
 
EDT: I can help with that.

They seemed an appropriate size to me, if anything a bit small which is understandable given the nature of what they are. If they are too small, then you could have a single organization take up the whole planet and claim it for their own.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Which now that I think about it sounds like an amazing idea...mugghhaaaaaaaaaa

Can you hear them, they talk about me telling lies well that's no surprise. Can you see them, see right through them. They have no shield no secrets to reveal. It doesn't matter what they say, in the jealous games people play...my lips are sealed.

I think, Pirate Smuggler friend, you underestimate my capacity to disengage and disassemble all vestiges and signs of your countermeasures!

Sounds like death to me!

Hmm, well, we'll have to talk about that later

I'm so excited!!
 

I vote no for slavery!  Unless, of course, someone is offering to be MY personal slave?  Then that's TOTALLY different

Now you mention it I don't appear to be getting emails either for PM's etc.

I'm so excited!!

He answered a few questions that I had, and even gave us a bit more information about the display panels (both in cockpits and in command centers), so I'm very pleased by everything I heard and saw.
 
It's clear that they still have a bit of work ahead of them before Alpha, underground textures and game mechanics off the top of my head, but it's awesome to see just how far they are now.
 
Based on what we know so far, I'd be happy to throw money at NQ for their crowdfunding. It just makes me more excited to see what's in store for the months ahead before they really show the game off for the kickstarter. 

Man....man.....man.........man.............I dont wanna wait.....man......man......I wanna play now!

Looks delectable in a pre-alpha state. Wow.

thats exactly the question, with normal, mousetargeting i could decide where to destroy the hull-voxels and send in a bomb-drone or something similar. If its tab targeting i fear we will only be able to target significant systems of the ship or completely random, thus we wont be able invade it from less important parts of the ship.

My only questions are about how the combat system is going to affect ship damage.
 
Will we be able to target specific parts of a ship (guns, airlocks, engines, etc), or will our weapons just hit random places on ships?
 
Will the damage actually be a the voxel level, with pieces of ships being ripped apart? 

I'm right there with you Dhara. I imagine a lot of the time I'll be happily minding my own business, building, trading goods, services, resources and technology with fellow COP'ers, and other free spirited merchants, and probably stealing some of Kiklix's spaceships, but if someone crosses my path in the wrong way, or troubles one of my kin, then I'll gleefully turn my dark pirate side on and have a little fun.
