Mod Request(s): Turn the game into what we were promised

[Foobit]

So, now that the game is out and has become the new internet punch bag (and quite rightfully to some extent) for the 'misconceptions' and 'lies' that Sean Murray spewed confidently, despite having a tiny game studio; I feel that all is not lost for this game. I believe that it is possible to create the so called 'Murray Mod', a mod that adds bit by bit to the game to turn it into what we were sold on. I hope it doesn't

take much longer for somebody smart to decompile the pesky MBINs and to give us a great tool to edit the game's inner workings. We will most probably never have multiplayer, but there are many other things we can add. I have very little modding experience, but I hope that maybe someone else can help to achieve the following:

 

Missing stuff that would be cool:

• Huge Space Battles: Epic space battles between different races/factions
• Factions: The ability to join different factions or pirates in the game where you fight and explore together. The could give you mini 'quests' like gathering resources or protecting trade ships, etc.
• Large Ground Bases: These could be controlled by Factions which could lead to interesting battles fought on planet surfaces
• Better NPCs: In one of the game trailers, NPC ships are showed landing on planets, not just trading platforms. It would be cool if they could also get out, explore and mine the surface of planets.
• Better Sentinels: Bigger variety of sentinels in the game like in the trailers and concept art.
• Sand Planets: Again, like in the trailers.

Improvements:

• The Ability to fly lower: done here
• No Instagram filter: done here
• Less artifacting caused by LOD and normal Map loading and rendering when getting close to surface in ship.
• Stackable items in Inventory: Suggested here
• Space combat less terrible: Change the current System to be like in flight games where you get the little circle to aim at in front of enemys
• Make NPCs talk faster: God, it takes years for the prompts to appear.

If you have any suggestions, please tell me!

Sean murrey has stated that new features will be added in future updates, after the stability patches the 1st features to be added to the base game will be base building and freighters, it's possible that a lot of features that were shown at E3 2013 were not ready for public release and that they will be added at a later date.

I think that too. They just had to release the game earlier as expected.

 

But when we have basebuilding can we store there more ships that one or can we teleport there. Man i want this. But tehn we must mark our base at a planet and the Solar system too.

Fingers crossed for a multiplayer mod, anyone? I honestly think it would be easier than skyrim multiplayer and we already have that.
