We should be able to sit in the manager`s chair of our own base.

Post by Socratatus »

Just landed on my first owned base. Looked around, nice. Went to the manager`s office to check it out. The seat was empty as I have not employed a manager yet. Decided to sit in the chair as I am the ultimate manager here!

Couldn`t.

I know it`s a tiny point, but it`s the little things like being able to sit in a vacant chair of your own company that would help to make games like this just that little bit more immersive.
1. Please do more on NPC civilian/uniform variety, and bio customisations, Devs.
2. Stations need sirens/warnings when enemy is close in numbers or Station in danger of destruction (in Sandbox).
Yes, for immersion. Thankyou ahead of time. (Edit: This is actually happening!!!)

I say our stations should have a CEO’s office, where we can sit at our own desk, and manage our empire remotely. There should also be plaques on the wall, or trophies, or something, denoting the in game achievements we have earned so far.

Yup, plaques, and, those whatchamacallit, weapon racks. And book shelves. Kitchens too, and trunks. Lots of trunks. And mannequins, mannequins everywhere. And then child bedrooms and an option to adopt...

I agree and I would take it 1 step further. Sit in the non captains chairs on larger ships. Even farther, with the teleport feature on ships, I dont see why cant add a owners room to the M+ ships down the line, when you just want a quiet place to work while travelling.

Yea, all that kind of thing would really help make it feel you`re the boss.

I agree with all of you.

As for the chair, I guess they overlooked, or didn`t have time, for this as you can sit in the same chair in ships, so all they need do is add the same mechanic to other chairs too.

These are small things, but I would certainly like to see these things in the game.

One thing that's bothering me way more than it should is that we can't sit on the additional chairs on larger ships.

It seems like such a small thing to implement ...

Very good suggestions guys! I agree. It would be more of an RPG sim game. There are people who would sit in a fighter, and do fight by themself. Others would sit in a freighter and do best buy-sell routes alone and manage other freighters from there. Others would sit at their own company's management/owner office and make their decisions from that chair and make actions like in a strategy game. I can imagine that with this game. Would be awesome! :)

Completely agree. If that happens this will be a true choice based genre game. Rts, rpg, space sim. Awesome touch which rises the quality of the product even more.

Well considering the way it happens, it is part of the story and i could accept it as campaign mode.

However, i would find very great if we could create a game like skirmish game in RTS where you can configure all aspect of the universe generated: player race, player initial tech tree, configure initial reputation, how much territory each faction possess in the beginning, etc... I would like to start as a faction already possessing a small territory and able to product since the beginning my own starting ship . Could be something like Our faction has to flee its original planet and establish a new colony!

I feel this is not going to happen, but that would be great! Even better would be the ability to configure factions (make new pirate factions with a cartain set of ships), Oh yea, that would be nice.
