2023 Devs Opened
An update filled with information about the dev process
There are potentially some changes coming for development mechanics, but while those get settled, we'll be opening developments so people can start brainstorming and getting things approved. (Don't expect to start anything until later this week, though.)
For details on how developments work, see help develop. To simplify communication with staff, here are some things to note:
1: The clan leader inform us who will be communicating with staff about developments. Only one person per clan, please.
2: All such players must either be on discord or handle all development communication over email. This is important so that we can keep the ball rolling without waiting for you to log into the game if your timezone doesn't line up with when we're on.
3: Other than perhaps cybernetics, no exact stats will be promised before a development is complete. It can take a lot of time to come up with the right numbers, so we want to avoid doing that for options the players don't end up picking. Instead, simply let us know what focus you want the item to have (armor material with a focus on +hp and -ac, in that order, or a corvette focused on rockets and torpedoes instead of energy weapons, for example) and we'll take that into account when delivering the item.
And on the subject of cybernetics, they aren't yet available for development while we consider how we want to land those in the game. Stay tuned for more news on that when we have it!
The initial development cost ceiling will be 40 million.
