Can we get clarification on whether or not ship designers look at the forums for feedback on the ships? During the ATV sneak peek of the economy, the game designer all but admitted he had never read any of the feedback. Part of backing this game was the claim that we could influence design with feedback. How do we do that if our feedback isn't being looked at?asked by Beefstack

That's exactly why we created the ship subforums, guys. It's because we recognize this deficiency. We wanted to do something. We weren't able to do it as effectively as we wanted to. That's why we're doing the ship subforums now. So hopefully you will see a marked improvement. There are many designers who read the forums top to bottom. Was that even a designer? Wasn't it an artist?

Yeah, it was Chris Smith. Because on design it would have been Kirk, because Kirk did a lot of that setup getting the Constellation...

The segment that he's referring to was the segment with Chris Smith. So yeah, he's an artist. He's not a designer.

But everyone has a different process for this sort of thing. The feedback does come back to them sometimes. We collect it and give it to them sometimes.
