Is this game abandoned?

[Malkontent]

Feels like ive been waiting forever for a content patch.

I see a lot of Star Citizen fan quality in this thread, full of hopeium. As a Chinese company, they were devastated by lockdowns 2 and 3 years ago which is why this project is and has been in jeopardy since then. I can only confirm that they are down to a bare skeleton of staff and DSP is no longer an active project of the company. Should they be allowed to start back up on DSP only time will tell, but for now it's at best a part time project.

However I agree there's so much content already there that it's money well spent and completely playable as is.

It's a bummer that the game has been abandon. A decent mod system could have really let the game really flourish.

Not sure combat would have worked out. The game mechanics of that would be pretty brutal to implement. Stepping stone of events --> combat maybe. But unfortunately that requires a lot of $$ coming in. This game never tipped over to making lots of cash.

Lots of little features I wouldn't have minded.
- Planet flags. Letting you put a random item on the flag. So you can see it from space or a distance. AKA Find spot on a planet you stashed stuff etc.
- Building blocks/factories. A way of making a special building which effectively took a template and make a building out of it. Allowing you to building a dedicated factory for an item.
- Deep core mining. A larger structure that can extract below surface materials.
- Asteroid bases.
- Space drones, Only effective outside a gravity well. EG maintain D Sphere, mine small asteroids, space base structure builders.
-Auto pilot short cuts. A progress better means of selecting a destination and auto navigating. L1, target a system, L2 target a planet, L3 target a point on a planet.
- Warp gates. a progressive system that extends range and speed. Part of autopilot and space construction.
- Recyclers, A building to dump excess items that slowly breaks them down. Levels increase speed and efficiency. Note this opens the door to special bonus items that give large to huge volumes of materials when recycled. Also lvl advancement allows of processing of more and more advanced items.
- Fluid, solid and gas belts. At very advanced levels specialisation allows for very rapid transport of items class.
- Terra forming. Add a height complexity to the game. Over and above the levelling mechanic.
- lvls of solar, wind and water power generation.
- Mega structures that require mats supplied until drones complete build. AKA an achievement type model.
- Mega land features. Volcanoes, rivers, glaciers. Tied to mega structures.

Yes, for tl:dr, big combat update in December, with more enhancements to the update planned for 2024, (like an "ultimate weapon").

I am stoked, this game became one of my favorites pretty quick.

It's legitimately not though; there have been update blogs last June and September, with the latter saying the combat update - that they've been working on since last year - is slated for a Dec 2023 release at present

^Both blogs are still there on the store page, for anyone that bothers to look.

It literally says update due in December. We are in October, which if you went to school you'd know is two whole months before December. ^^

I don't think this game is abandon, because there will be an update in Decem that will have many enhance. The game is very inexpense for what you get.
