That's where we coordinate development. (-:

Xordium: Heh, no. Frontier didn't have them, either. No, really!

tron: How long is a piece of string? It's like asking how long until Linux is finished. Truth is, it'll just get better and better until operating systems crash when you try to download it, just because they feel inadequate and unworthy. Well, one day. Maybe. We deliberately don't have a...

Not worth it? In the starting ship, your hydrogen fuel for the journey will cost you 0.86cr, and your docking fee at the destination will be between 1cr and 6cr. At worst you'd be 19cr up. That said, yes, we'll be looking at balance and gameplay in depth, once we've got the polit system all...

The planets are already detailed. Gas giants need some work (they look OK, but you can land on them), but rocky planets have a huge variety of terrains and atmospheres. We currently only have cities adjacent to starports, but the long term goal is to have many unrelated cities dotted about the...

The Orion Nebula, up close, isn't really very bright, or very dense. While I think we'd like that sort of thing in there, too, it would be hard to do. First, we'd need to figure out what it might look like up close (and it certainly won't look like it does from a distance). Then we'd need to...

In the displayed sky within a system, no. While one of our devs is looking at making the sky truly representative of available stars, that's for the future. We do have a complete galaxy, though. I'm not sure how many stars are in it, but its size and density is comparable to the real thing...

As a percentage of sky coverage, those objects are so close to zero as makes no difference at all. Pioneer models our own galaxy, and includes real star catalogue data. If you want eye-candy backgrounds, I'm sorry to say you're going to have to get that fix elsewhere. Many of the dev team are...

I'm not alone in this, and it isn't a one man project. I'm not even the project lead. We have a number of dedicated, able, enthusiastic and fairly well motivated folk working on the project, and more seem to be finding their way to us every week. It's looking good!

Erm, you'll need to rummage on SourceForge until you find it, I think. You don't need a Twitter account to use that page on Twitter; our merge maintainer posts each nightly build there as he does it, and you can just click them to be taken to the right place, without logging in or whatever...

Hi, guys! I'm Brian from the Pioneer dev team. I maintain the issue tracker, amongst other things. Glad to see some of you have found us, and that you're finding the game fun. Pioneer is free software (you will always have the freedom to download it, mod it, break it, fix it, even put it in a...
