[Idea to make people wait productively]

What you suggest here will not work because they have already enough people as it is to stress test their server architecture, and now that they have a concrete number of the maximum amount of people that could load their servers, throwing it up into the ether again would be a bad move.

 

However, what would be interesting to me personally, is a single-player version of the game for messing around with (a client+server bundle), however considering their server tech is (extremely likely) proprietary, they probably don't want to distribute it freely. Would be pretty cool, not happening, unfortunately..

Actually it was the idea, an offline kind of "Hangar" a la SC.

[Idea to make people wait productively]

Hi everybody,

 

As I arrived to late for founder pledges I am one of the many who will not be able to attend alpha 1. But I think it should not be a blocker to be able to actually "use" DU. What I propose is that pledgers and supporters could have access to a kind of "closed local building area", in which we could build and train our skills in ship or construction design (and LUA scripting + all kind of stuff). It could allow non-alpha players not to be totally killed from start by founder players having super advanced blueprints and much higher experience in designing. Constructions might be erased with any breaking update, but it's the deal of an alpha anyway. As per "local" it would not be hosted by the servers but only by the client machine.

 

It's a small idea but I thought it would be an interesting one nonetheless.
