Right now we have T1 or T0 for the following:
- Bounty Hunting
- Mercenaries
- Piracy
- Trading
- Mining
- Salvage
- Racing
- Medical/Rescue
- Refueling
- Repair
We’re still missing mechanics for:
- Exploration
- Smuggling
- Data Courier
- Passenger Transportation
Am I missing anything else? It’s kind of crazy to think we have at least T0 of so many game mechanics now. What are you most looking forward too? This can be either unimplemented or gold standard or any mechanic.
Personally, I want to see better bounty hunting. What we have now are just kill missions and there’s not much finesse to it.
I want to have to track my prey down to somewhere inside a bustling city or outpost, or find where they’re hiding in an abandoned asteroid mining facility. Missions should go through several stages, where we have to track down and interrogate outlaws that might know where our target is. I’d also like to see apprehension missions be worth a lot more than kill missions.
I think there’s a lot they can still do with this profession!
I like playing pretty much all game mechanics, but I know I’m going to get most of my money from Trading, so that’s what I’m looking forward to the most.
Unfortunately, we won’t get a real taste of trading until CIG adds multiple other solar systems. True space trucking across multiple systems is going to be a lot of fun.
Engineering is missing from this list. It may not be what I’m looking forward to most, but it’s still going to be a pretty important part of the game!
If it turns out anything like what the brief details, it should add a lot of depth to the game: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/12936-Engineering-Ship-Components-Systems
I’m all about medical!
What we have now is a huge step forward from before, but there are so many parts of medical gameplay that we haven’t even scratched the surface of. I hope CIG does it justice!
Racing needs some love. It’s nice to see them actually working on it again, but I’m not sure if they realize how much the players love to race.
They need to just give us the ability to create our own waypoints. The players will make the racing content for them!
