Can we expect to see changes made based on the discoveries that other citizens have made? Say somebody ventures into an unexplored solar system and they find a new alloy there. Will we see inventions made by ship production facilities and gun manufacturing plants based on this new alloy, which, if left undiscovered, wouldn't have been invented?asked by Mixor

Yeah, one of the things we've talked about during economy discussions is actually using discoveries made by players to enhance existing technology, maybe for small runs, or even to create new technology. So yeah, there will be changes based on what players do.

Yeah, and Chris has been very clear about having the lore and things that go on in the universe affect the universe. And so that's one of those ways that can happen. And it's going to be evolving over the course. Hopefully, this game's going for 20, 30 years.
