First of all I must say that this is a really good game. Only complaint I have is that its to damn addictive and gets in the way of doing other stuff. Only going to do this and then I quit, wait this too and this too, then its suddenly in the middle of the night and to damn late to do anything but go to bed..
Was thinking of things to implement to get around loosing allot of money (difference between buy/sell prices for Eternium e.g) and also time since its numbers are limited, to put in the pod I mean. What if you implemented some sort of galactic bank, where before quitting current version you insert all your cash, get a receipt wich you then can put in the pod?!?
Another change I was thinking of had to do with the base. Since its not a legal settlement as it seems, why not talk to the pirates and for a large fee they agree to guard it for you while you are away (until the next update) and for that you get some sort of a document wich you also put in the ships pod (just saying what kind of buildings you have, without inventory to make it easier to implement). That could be explained with that they wont let you enter the base again in the next update, until they see that document (the low level pirates guarding, just dont recognize you). How this would work with the base-pod, well that I dont know, if you dont simply get rid of it all the way and maybe expand the ships-pod instead.
Also since you have made a limit to the number of bots in the pod, I would like if there were atlest a way to put some extra high value stuff in there. like rare skins and maybe also precursor cortexes , they are pretty hard to come by as you know.
Well this post got long as it seems.. tldr, Thanks for providing a really good and somewhat unusual game..
