My org is in the process of choosing its home planet. We have an in-lore history and we'd like to settle on a planet like Yar or Hyperion. Could you tell us how you envision the PU release regarding star systems availability? Will all star systems be available e.g. at the end of beta, or after a gradual provisioning?asked by Sensi
TL;DRIt's too early to decide which planets players can start on; there will be multiple starting choices, likely a small number at first and expanding, but counts and locations aren't determined.
It's actually too early to make a call on which planets will allow players to start. We are going to have a selection of planets that people could start on when they start the game so we don't have player crowding in one location. We haven't made a decision on how many there will be and where they will be located. It probably wouldn't be all the places we have. It probably would be the bigger or more likely candidates in UEE space. Whether it's we give an option of four starting locations or ten starting locations we haven't determined that yet that will iteratively be decided as we grow the universe. Right now obviously there's one starting location in Stanton but that's going to change as we add more places with content.It's too early to say we will give you a choice and maybe it will be related to some of the preferences you want to do. Like if you're more keen on being an outlaw or on PvP then you probably don't want to be in the heart of UEE space, so things like that will also factor in. It's early days yet so we haven't fully decided what that's going to be. There will be multiple choices, we don't know how many of them and whether we'll have some small amount at the beginning and roll out larger options as we go alone which I would suspect would probably be the likely route we take.
