maybe respawning at the arkship won't be so bad. For instance maybe the arkship will have a shop and we will be able to buy the things we need to build a little speeder to get back to where we were (starmade style). or maybe it will just be an interesting way to make it more of an accomplishment to have a base farther away. It will certainly make new players more cautious. perhaps towns can crop up and charge access to their res point so people can update along the way.

I look forward to being able to buy alpha and beta access, that was the thing that seemed the most interesting. I'm a little sad that final version early start is going to be kickstarter only. It seems like the biggest advantage, specially for organization founders.

I would really like to see future chances to support the game. Some people missed the kickstarter or only wanted alpha access. It is kinda funny how if there are exclusive prepurchase or kickstarter items and I can't afford, I get sad and wish they were not exclusive. but if I CAN afford and buy and they later become non exclusive I get sad too. It can be really funny how I tell myself a fancy pet doesn't matter, until I see someone with it. xD I remember elder scrolls had a fancy pre order package, only to leave all the extras open to being bought by everyone later on. tldr: yessss let us pay you guys for alpha access

I look forward to seeing if large ships are doable. In most games the larger a ship is, the heavier it is, thus the more power you need for the engines. But the power generators you build add to the mass. It is the issue we have now with liquid fuel rockets. Diminishing returns and the like. Although it might fit into the jump gate idea. If we need to build jump gates to get to other systems perhaps an organization can build a giant ship to house the people and resources needed to build one, then jump to the new system and build another. perhaps there will be a very expensive, very advanced anti gravity block that reduces a ship's mass so a larger build can move at a viable speed.

do we know if the kickstarter is the only way to get into the alpha? I always have trouble figuring out what level to buy and what is worth it. Things like pets, outfits and fancy titles interest me less than things like alpha access, soundtracks and a look into the design process.
