Post Weekly Dev Questions!
A shoutout to player starwyrm for coming up with this great idea.

This thread is for questions for the dev team. See the above linked thread for the original questions asked. Please keep this thread to questions only (non question posts will be removed for organization purposes), and save your discussions for the discussion topics! If we have some questions we'll do the first blog post this Wednesday!

If you want your question to be anonymous you can email your question to question@starsonata.com


Also: If you have a question for a specific developer please indicate that you are directing the question at them. For reference our current active developers are:

Project lead:
Jeff

Genius Wizard (Server Admin & Programming lead):
Jey

Person who doesn't actually code or make content but somehow has a ton of stuff to do:
Bageese (me!)

Web Development Guru of all things websitey:
Thomas

Content & Programming Masters:
Calypso and Blue Dwarf

Class Rebalance Gods:
s_m_w and yclepticon

Support team badasses:
The Suit, Scylla, Recaps, WinterWind, and The Vert

Our inactive developers that are still around, just stupidly busy with IRL commitments are SI & Feathers. Also, some developers do not have a community presence so they may not get around to your questions. :) Though if you ask a REALLY GOOD QUESTION I'll bug them to come post. :)

All the aliens augs need to be looked at again imo. Stuff like the Rajanicara Psu thats suppose to be the combi seer aug yet it would be a very poor aug to use for a seer.. No damage no bank and very little crit bonus.. I don't see the point of having a energy recharge bonus with a -vis on a seer cause why would i need that vis if i'm firing fast enough to use the bonus recharge? Lol So my main question is can the augs be relooked over? :P

A question i previously sent to the question email address, could we please get a nice post or wiki page with ALL the current pvp/bvb/emp/galaxy ownership rules?

Last time i participated in a bvb there was a surprise team score requirement.

We have the suggestions board for ideas about implementation, and the bug forums for bug reports. :P Please keep your questions to actual questions, and not ideas or suggestions disguised as questions. :)

Post Re: Weekly Dev Questions!
I've got a decently questiony question for the entire dev team:

On average, how much pizza is consumed by the entire dev team a week? I'd imagine the amount of slices is...

Another is for Bobbo/Caly:

How on earth do you two manage to crank out things like Olympus with just 2 content devs?

A third is for Caly specifically:

IIRC, you were gone from SS for a very long time. Where'd you go? What did you do? Why'd you come back? (Not saying that we're not all REALLY happy you are back).

#2- Does Star Sonata plan to do any sorts of increasing in the community as to bringing more players? if so what kind of plans are set to action?

thanks.

Post Re: Weekly Dev Questions!
I have been wondering for a few months about the whole "Items Teleporter" thing. Due to how sometimes when it thinks you are trying to move stuff from your ship to another that isn't docked at the same station, it gives you a message saying that you are not docked at the same station, and don't have an Items Teleporter equipped. So I'm wondering if it is in the game yet, something you plan to put in, or something that was in but removed.

Thank you,
IsaiahR

When will we get a big influx of newer players?

Are we advertising anywhere notable?

How is Steam Greenlight going?

I can answer that:

Crashed worse than the 2008 U.S. economy.

More or less. There is a notable drop in activity on the Steam Greenlight website after November 2013.

For Jeff_L...

1. Where do you see Star Sonata in 5-10 years?
2. How many active players would you like to see on Star Sonata average?
3. Do you play any other game besides SS?
