How do the stations work in 2.0?
TL;DRThey decline to explain how the stations work so players can discover them, noting that 2.0 features are simplified, such as repair drones instead of the intended repair mechanic, and quests are not indicative of the persistent universe.
We don't want to tell you too much about how 2.0 is going to work, because I think we want you to discover that yourself. That feeling of exploration and discovery is going to be fantastic. So folks asking how this station works and that station works, I think it would be better if you guys played and figured it out, because I want to see you guys discover it. We will say a lot of it is simplified from how we intend to have it finished. So the repair mechanic where you individually repair things is not in there yet. So there are drones that repair your ships with the touch of a button. That's for now, not permanent. And we'll talk about all that. We'll do walkthroughs and stuff as we get closer. The quest system has very simplified quests. They're not indicative of what you're going to see in the persistent universe. It's just, again, explorations and testing of systems.
