I'm crying , I'm crying. Look , If you intend to turn this into a game Don't you think the art work could do with a little bit 'o polishing. I am a bit wary of downloading games as I have been warned they may be to slow etc my computer =intel(R) Core(tm)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 250 GHz 2497Mhz, 4 Core(s) , 4lo...AM Inc etc. I'm told thisd is a fast machine?? I have been waiting ages for this type of game But please , Do it justice and let the big boy do the art work?
@KingHaggis Does he write for the game? The tunes remind me of Michael Hedges' postuhumous album, especially the tune Ursa Major which is a favorite of mine
Definitely not ready yet. Any game I can play for over an hour and make less than a dollar (considering the sheer cost of ship upgrades) on has some pretty serious gameplay issues.
@samplingrate I think he means you have to be patient :-) BTW, the latest Alpha 14 is available for download. The project is taking small steps at a time and now we have AI traffic! If you spent an hour making money with the previous versions, you can now take on interplanetary ferrying missions from the bulletin board. In some sectors that's a very lucrative business. Also, you can take contracts to kill other spacepilots so that means more spacebattle action! And remember: CTRL+M=moneycheat.
@samplingrate No you made a comment that clearly showed that you did not understand that these are experimental Alpha releases. Alpha means really it is totally unfinished and your lucky there are any gameplay features at all. If you feel there are gameplay issues then get stuck in and help make that aspect better, but us main Devs are mainly concentrating on other aspects of the game for the time being. These 'demos' are for people to test on their hardware and form an opinion of new additions

@gpgpgp13322 Slow down to a very low speed, lower your landinggear (F6 key) and use the upward thruster to gently touch down. You can also slowly crash into the ground with you landinggear down and you'll still touch down alright but that looks stupid. Having one or more shieldgenerators installed helps prevent damage if you land a bit too hard. If you don't know the keyboardcommands press ESC and configure the keys. The latest alpha lets you use manual thrusters while in speedassistmode.
@wishcraft4u2 Well, maybe that's the buildingstyle in the future. Maybe people in the future will look back to now and say, "why do the old 21st century buildings look so boring? We're glad we have the coinstack style now" :-)
Hey im new to pioneer and was just wondering if you knew a way to optimize your system to make the game playable with high detail level. the frame rate goes way down when I turn the detail past medium
@MrSpaceMind thanks, the most demanding feature is the city detail. Not even my i7 PC can provide a very high fps when near a city so it's normal if that stutters on your PC. You'd better set city detail to low or medium. Planet detail should run fine on most PCs @medium and my PC has no trouble running terrain @highest settings. The only tip I have for you is trying latest drivers for your videocard & for Vista/W7 put performance sttings to high instead of energysaving & defrag your HDD.
@MrSpaceMind Also, you can register at the spacesimcentral forum and ask the guys in the Pioneer section for more help. Some planets have higher terrain detail than others by the way. On some planets it takes a while before the terrain is fully loaded. Some planets look boring and flat, some look awesome! If your PC really can't handle it I'm afraid you'll have to upgrade your PC or buy a better one :-S
@Deon023 thanks, yeah... they didn't always look like this. Since alpha 8 the stars have these big spikes around them hehe. The effect is a bit overdone I think, but the game is still awesome :-)
Can't wait for the next alpharelease, always something to look forward to.
I like where this game is going. I hope they don't stick too much to the old gameplay features and start thinking about adding some new and unique elements. Awesome engine. Can't wait to land on the surface, unload my mech, and start exploring :P
So the second planet you went to was in the Proxima Centauri syste,.
