Is PVE a good, chill time for solo players? I liked making effortships that were just flying houseboats but it seemed a risky prospect making anything that wasn't just disposable in PVP.

The pve server is great for chill ship building and exploration.

Is there content beyond building ships yet?

Dying clothes and ships as well as overly expensive cooking are in, but other than ~pvp~ no.

Edit: game is still alive somehow. There was a toss up between unity and improbable but it has been resolved.

At least I can make a ship look like a bumble bee when I come back.

Virtually nothing of actual substance was obviously far too much. Now you will get nothing for the foreseeable future.

I like how they threw the players under the bus in the eulogy. Good job as always bossa.

Maybe you should focus on core technology?

Okay but it's been a couple years...

What’s funny is that territory control is actually something that would get people playing the game again. See: Atlas

They had nooooo clue how to program this. Either it was the super outdated middleware or their lack of skill.

Bossa also isn't known for foresight.

Our Beta testers should have given us more money for them to test for us and also create all our islands.
The island creator is really cool. Also it hasn't had a significant update since the ill planned "second early access."

A small part of me wants to believe they will update it once more to add all the beta branch features but I doubt that's going to happen.

They won't be able to open source any of their SpatialOS work. Hopefully they can do small stuff like making the island creator spit out common formats for people to play around with.

there's some people on twitch still logged into the servers doing protest streaming? But it's dead.

They wanted to pad out the meager content they had until it felt like a real game.

But they didn't realise that most people weren't fooled.
