Should players be able to blow up their ships [self-destruct], and what impact would that have in the game?
Eric PetersonHost, Studio Director
I like to blow stuff up. So it's going to be cool. We're still deciding on whether we're going to allow that mechanic. But I think the trend right now is, yes, so that it blows stuff up. Everybody wants to blow stuff up. Come on. We just have to figure out how to basically make that to where we can balance that with people being able to capture ships versus being able to lay traps. It's just a mechanic that needs to be worked out on paper first and then designed. So we want to blow stuff up. That's always the fallback. We just got to make sure it works correctly in the gameplay.
