2018/2019 Roadmap

[Cael_Aislinn]

Since Github is hard for community members to access and pinned discord messages are easily lost in the chatter, I'm posting the development roadmap here for reference and comment. This will be updated periodically as ideas are added or changed and with more visibility it will be easier for developers to plan

• More civilian colony jobs, NPCs and economy
  
• Player trading ships between colonies
  
• More NPC ship interactions
  
• Balances, bugfixes, QOL and more content for First Contact and Insurrection mode

Sounds pretty awesome I want to see more people on so maybe a content update would do the trick, this might be the trigger for some truly awesome moments.

I'd like to see a flood arc, that turns them into a fully playable faction.

The forerunner arc will probably take care of that.
