How do you know that mod tools can't be used as cheat tools?asked by Ladman
TL;DRMods apply only to servers players set up, not the main universe; good mods may be submitted for consideration, and selling community creations is being explored but legalities are unresolved.
Modding only applies to servers you set up. So you can't just go in and mod the central universe. The game servers are not going to be moddable. The main server will not be moddable. No, we are coming up with a process where people come up with amazing mods, they can submit them. We'll consider them for adding to the main universe. But that's a longer approval process.
Yeah, we're looking at a lot of things like that. Like if somebody makes something really cool, like a mod or perhaps a ship or something, maybe we find some way of allowing them to sell that in our universe and splitting the profits with you guys. But we've got to figure out the legalities of that and see if it works. Because to be honest with you, the talent out there in this community is unbelievable. You guys have done amazing stuff. So we'd like to tap into some of that.
