Will asteroid belts block our travel such that we have to pass through them out of quantum travel, or will we always be able to warp through solid rock?
TL;DRAsteroid belt collision is definitely in the plans, but it needs tech they don't have yet to handle thousands of rocks without slowing the game, and which team does it is undecided.
I think the answer, that's pretty obvious. I'm not going to lie, this is a topic that comes up about every two to three months in our PU update meetings. It's something Chris is like, "Yeah, so when are we going to get that?" So it is definitely going to come. It's a little more complicated than just putting collision on every single rock, because there's obviously hundreds and thousands of them in asteroid belts, and you don't want to slow down the game just for the sake of one asteroid belt. But yeah, it is in the plans. I'm not sure what tech team is actually going to be doing that, if that's going to be someone like Marco's team, the procedural team, or if that's on the quantum travel team. I'm sure we'll be involved at some point just with our quantum travel work. But yeah, that's definitely going to require a bit of tech that we don't have at the moment.
