this is the only mmorpg i have played where mining only gets you money. every other mmorpg where u can mine there is a way to use those minerals to make stuff. it would also be cool if the released a ship design like every week but that you need a building license the required resources and appropriate tools to make. so all the stuff thats for sale is made by real players.

right now everything you can buy at a station is just created magically by the station. if the stations all started out with nothing but as real ppl sold them the stuff the made it woulde fill
with some things, that are easy to get and then traders can come and find stuff from far, and at those remote areas some stuff is worth alot and some isent so you can buy cheap stuff then bring it to places where its extremely valuable.

At the moment, you can actually build your own ships.

But if we let you know how, we will have to kill you.

This post is brought to you by the letters S, C and the number 7.

This is from the News earlier this year:

"...My goal is to create a process by which a player or guild can apply to build a vessel through a major shipyard (like say, TPG Corp), and then deliver to them a large amount of materials, components and other goods required in the assembly of the ship. Basically, cap ships would be a product of both credits and the use of a partial crafting system. It is our intention to eventually have a fully-fledged crafting system.. which would be based on the same principles as building capital ships, and the economy as a whole.

For a truly dynamic economy to have any kind of point, it has to have an impact on the intended use for goods. Which means, the amount of ore that is delivered to a station that constructs, say, weapons, will vary the price of the weapons produced. Raw goods at locations capable of production, result in refined goods, and so forth. A capital ship, or a neutron III, or a powercell could all be seen as forms of "refined" goods.

Thus, we have to reappraise the basis of the galaxy, and our "tech tree" for the creation of all the products we use within the galaxy. Then we can go about implementing the actual points on that tech tree to allow players to participate (like say, refining ore, or crafting addons, or whatever). All in all, giving a much greater meaning to everything that happens in the galaxy.

No promises on when crafting and all that will be available. It might be sooner than you think, but not immediately. We need to get the economy in working order, fix the faction system, and handle some other parts of the game. ...
