Rock Raiders Industry Division Survey

[Grimbli]

Just posting an update on this. 69 responses so far which is very sexy. :cool:

Work continues on Codex 2.0. The "Less Fluff, more Stuff" campaign is going on for the revisions. I'm posting excerpts as I write them in the Rock Raiders thread if people are interested in reading them. Always looking for feedback.

40.6% are interested in R&D...
5.8% want to do it mostly...
Why you do dis to me? :*(

planet since it can't land....

Landing isn't the problem, taking off again could be a tiny problem :D

That is because right now nobody really knows what it means or what the possibilities are. Escort == shooting, mining == shooting at asteroids, salvage == retrieve shot ships, Logistics == get stuff from A to B, the easy or the hard way, prospecting == looking for stuff, sales == selling the stuff, but what the hell can be done with R&D??? As game development progresses, people will start to realize that R&D could give you an edge you will need to perform your tasks even better or just to survive.

I would say thats not a problem, if you cant go up, you go down ;)

R&D will be more important to us than people think. There are things that may only be possible if your ship is upgraded with these components whereas anything less will get you destroyed.

In better words then I will ever be capable of putting it (or something like that)

I am a fairly good wordsmith.

I just have a healthy imagination then ;)

Yeap, you are theoretical, I'm practical. :)

At 73 responses currently the Salvage and Reclamation Branch is still the one people are most interested in at 22 with Mining in 2nd place at 16 votes. However they are tied for first when it comes to what people interested in overall. It is also nice to see some people (4) interested in doing Security for us as a main activity. I hope the Security Overview with the 3rd Codex version brings a few more people in.

Working on revised Branch and Ancillary Descriptions from the ground up right now for 2.0 and posting as I go in the RR thread. There will be less Fluff and much more Stuff in the next version of the Codex.

I am definitely interested in the Logistics side of this.

I am currently interested into R&D. "Overclocking" modules and mounting them into friendly ships is what I am completely hyped about when we`ll see more of the mechanic explained by CIG :P .

Try turning it off and on again. Make sure your system is beer cooled. Throw out that other inferior liquid. Up to 84 responses. Salvage and Reclamation holding strong as the most desired thing in RR with Mining close behind.

Dear God I cannot wait to see what they come up with for a small salvage ship.

Supposedly, the Terrapin was our starter salvage ship :/

Though I love its design, I'm a bit disappointed with its current combat bias.

I hope that we'll be able to plug a lot of claws and welders into those S2 bottom mounts.

 

[marctek]

I'm hoping they will add some of the mining and salvage mechanics into 3.0.

Me too, give her some bite

Accelerate to max speed, use a celestial body to whip around the gravitational well, achieving even higher speeds, and then use all that inertia to ram into ships, creating instant salvage.

 

[Blind Owl]

There's your bite. :D
