#Is this game going to get multiplayer, or just stay co-op?

What kind of multiplayer do you mean? You can currently get as many people on a server as your pc can handle

I think they mean multiple ships with their own crews doing their own things.

until the pvp goal is met the multiplayer will be cooperative, with an allowance for shenanigans

that is precisely what i mean

The Magellan will always be the only large ship in game. There will be small 5 crew ships as we go.

Wait the Magellan is gonna be the only large ship?
split marten
for now, two magellans loaded at once may be too much

What happened to the other large ships that were being talked about (and are in the demo ship select menu)?
split marten
what ships are those? the extended design is the largest we've seen so far
magic bough

Well yes. Only one ship loaded at once, but I didn't realise that there was only going to be the Magellan class available at all.
split marten
there's plans for other ships, but they'll be smaller, to increase the chance of loading multiple at once 🙂

let's skip to the end, what are you expecting? star destroyer? galaxy class? death star?
crew of 10 is the aim for the backer ships, i think
magic bough
Not at all - just didn't realise the DLC ships being floated were all going to be smaller than the Magellan
split marten
who knows what the future holds. what do you have in mind?
magic bough
They talked about spacefaring alien races
split marten
uh huh
magic bough
DLC alien ship would be really interesting
split marten
definitely
magic bough
They also talked about potentially looking at real world IP collaboration. I'm not going to say enterprise but…
Etc etc
split marten
that's the 1 million goal 🙂

I just got the impression the DLC ships were going to be equivalent to the Magellan but different. my bad!
:)

practicality is the key, magellan is already a huge and detailed ship. if you want a blank cube thats bigger than a moon, sure that's easy, but if you want a 40k cathedral ship thats 10 times bigger than magellan, that's gonna take a long time to make isnt it?
magic bough
That's true hehe
We'll have to see what Dan feels like doing in future once Magellan is finalised

i like the idea of a small ship with 'diagetic controls', no ui or buttons, all levers and cranks, like the bajoran sail ship. shouldnt take too long to make, navigation might be a problem but that's half the fun

Sorry, just trying to catch up. In each DLC there will be another large ship designed, if you have bought those DLC, you'll choose your ship from the menu. There will be alien derelicts that you can explore and take parts from
The story DLC ships will be the same size or larger. The extra just ships will be much, much smaller

This would be a separate DLC. So you wouldn't use that and The Magellan together

i love how this just flipped from talking about multiplayer/co-op, to future ships XD
