Post Free 2 Play Limits
Can someone [preferably a DevMin] give a distinct list of the limits that separate F2Ps from P2Ps?

Level limit 2000, can't place bases outside of Celestial Gardens, and cannot enter Perilous Space.

Possible but untested[I will, don't you worry], untested but assuredly correct, WRONGGGGG.

Star Sonata 2 will be free to play with no level limit and no time limit.

Free players will have full access to The Nexus, Celestial Garden, Earthforce Space, and will be able to visit Wild Space but won't be able to build or fight there.

Players may choose at some point to become premium players, which will give them access to Perilous Space, and allow them to build and fight in Wild Space.

The wild and peril space bits are pure bullshit apart from building.
No level limit is interesting, since I can't see a single thing holding back f2p leveling at the moment, until peril is locked. I mean c'mon, I'm almost 550 and I have RC18 P17 ST15 etc, and can probably get T20 skills.

Interesting sidebar, I was doing AT missions the other day, and since AT1 was misplaced I couldn't find it, logic dictated that AT was off limits for F2Ps. I thought this was the best idea the DevMins ever had, sadly I found the mission. So close DevMins, so close.

You can't get t20 skills since you can't get into Bana, RM etc etc

You also can't get into UZ since you can't get W4

Not having acces to Peril for f2p is still on the verge of implementation though.

Post Re: Free 2 Play Limits
With Star Sonata 2, we are planning on moving much more strongly in the "free to play" direction. We haven't completely finalized the details or implemented everything code-wise, so for now for the launch, we're going to set the max f2p level to 300.

Going forward, we're looking at completely eliminating a level cap for f2p, but in return making Perilous layer "premium only" and locked from f2p, and wild space "semi-premium" which will mean that f2p can go there, but they won't be able to fire, build, have slaves there, manage bases, or do any hostile action like scan bases or tractor enemies. Since they can go there, they will be able to visit shops and also see all the awesomeness that is building in Wild Space, but hopefully will not be able to interfere with paying players there negatively in any way.

F2p's will have ability to do everything in Nexus, Celestial Garden, and Earthforce Layer, and EF layer will continue to be expanded to a reasonably high danger factor and be non-pvp.

From jey.. in the dev notes forums.

I helped a F2p get Piloting 20 yesterday in RM. Peril space isn't a limit atm.
