The Spaceship Homebase

I have loved the idea from the beginning. Instead of a typical main-menu you spawn in your own large spaceship from where you can select missions, build drones, build arenas and maybe even join a party with friends (effectivly entering their spaceship) to play in matches together. There are a few more things said about it in the strechgoals section on the main website, if you haven't read it yet (highly recommend checking it out anyways).

Now I have said this a couple of times: I think having the spaceship now would be increadably helpful to show new players that the game is in developement and what is to come.
At the time of this post the Arena Builder has not yet been implemented into the main build. It's a seperate build where you can test it, but its increadibly outdated (yet very fun). Having a sign at the place in the spaceship, where the arena-builder would be, that says "coming soon" or "work in progress", that would be helpful.

There is probably a few other things about it that would help aswell, but I can also see why the spaceship should NOT be implemented/worked on yet. There are more important features that need to be implemented and I want your oppinion on this topic. How important is the Spaceship Homebase to you and when do you feel like it should be in the game. I think it should be there before the Arena Editor gets ported into the main build.

The Spaceship is such a nice medium to build upon. Signs could advertise updates and new weapons, and it gives a nice overview of all the features.
I hope the devs still want this to be a thing at all. Would be nice to see their take on the situation aswell.

Kind regards,

You also have to remember that the spaceship should be quick to navigate for getting into a match. If for going to play you have to be 5 min sloging through menus and seeing spaceship customizations and such, it's 5min less of filling up lobbies. The cool stuff should be put to the side for the avg user that only wants to play the game

I dont know if any one here is familiar with Second Life however, if possible it would be cool to have the ability to have your space ship online radio station that just plays whenever some one hops on (there will ofc be a slider and a mute button for this).

This will alow us or others to stream music and even do live  online dj sets for like a party. can you imagine birthday space ship parties.

I would also think it be great to have like space stations which would have many attractions. arcades, clubs, places to eat. good place to meet other pilots or just fans.   hmm there could even be a free  launcher so that people who dont play the game could just wonder around space stations and use shuttles to get between them and  possibly catch a famous pilot wondering about.

This could spawn a kind of economy were people could make cloths or decorations, stuff like that for when you go about the stations and ships. could possibly have a system were you can buy in-game money to get cloths and accessories for your avatar and  you can sell them as well and maybe convert that money back into real money to help pay rl bills. could also be possible to use bitcoin or something like that instead, idk.

but ya it could be like an open world aspect to it also that money is for anything other then unlocking actual drone parts/components or having any sort of advantage gameplay-wise. perhaps block skins could be made and sold as well as some decorations like a hat cosmetic for the drone

Love the idea! The game Warframe has a somewhat similar concept and it really makes something that would ususally just be a set of buttons a lot more immersive.
