Re: Warship Destruction
I think the developers have been pretty clear that they want the warship to be indestructible as a way to force the player our of the sector when the time is up.
I can however see the potential for something special like the "ancient weapon" being the only thing that can damage it. It would be an interesting gameplay mechanic but only as a very unique circumstance.

Re: New Story after Battle
Sector 13? Where did you hear that? Actually there are no plans for the game getting additional sectors. The current plan is to integrate additional features into the main game loop (7 sectors). But nothing is set in stone, really.Probably referring to the Kickstarter concept imagery.
With that said, it is important to distinguish the concept work from almost two years ago with the implemented work today. 13 Sectors may have sounded great back them, but it's implementation now may end up becoming unnecessarily repetitive and difficult without enhancing the overall experience.
Re: New Story after Battle
Having six Sectors paces the game really well as far as playtime expectations, which hover between 30 minutes and 2 hours per run. Adding more Sectors could really extend this time out.
With additional content, I think IF we were to see additional Sectors added, it would be quite minimal (maybe 8 Sectors plus a final Sector, for instance). But we'll see what happens!

Re: Future Ship Unlockables in new update
Would love to see some kind of Carrier type craft, which focuses on support crafts and avoids combat itself - with limited offensive abilties on its own.
Re: New Story after Battle
Admiral Gorc is the final mission in Everspace, completing the story.
Future story content will be available in DLC coming later this year. With it, there will also be new ships, gear, and locations.
If you can't wait that long, Hardcore Mode (with a slew of new challenges for the player) will be coming in the next couple months as FREE DLC.

Re: How do I keep found weapons?
Many thanks for the comprehensive reply. I did notice that there was a perk that shows the location of the last 'death' thus allowing you to regain any loot you'd lost. Does that mean you could fly to your previous wreck and pick up anything you'd lost on the previous run?That's exactly what it does, correct!
Re: How do I keep found weapons?
Hey @sikm ! Everspace features mechanics from the roguelike genre, and is considered a roguelite experience. One of the pillars of this experience is known as 'permadeath,' which means everything you've gathered through the course of your run is LOST upon death. All of your ship's weapons, secondaries, devices and consumables fall into this category.
Because every run is procedurally generated (another core pillar of a roguelite), the player always starts from scratch to face a new set of parameters to test their skill. The ship's loadout can be selected from the SETUP tab in the hangar. Two more starting loadouts are unlocked by reaching Sector 4 and Sector 7 in that ship, respectively.
Everspace does feature permanent progression alongside this permadeath mechanic, in the form of the Perks. The Credits you accumulate through the game may be used at the end of your run on these Perks, boosting certain stats and unlocking more options for ALL successive playthroughs. But be aware: unspent Credits do NOT carry over to the next run, so you can't store up over multiple runs. If you want to purchase an expensive Perk, you have to earn the Credits from a SINGLE RUN.
There are a lot of different unlockables to be found in Everspace from ship colors, blueprints (which allow for crafting weapons, modifications, devices and consumables), enhancements (which modify the run itself, giving a unique boon while also putting a restriction or disadvantage on the player)...these items will carry over and be available for all successive runs, as well.
So, long story short, you can't keep your weapon. But you might find a blueprint for it, which would only require you to gather the necessary resources during the course of your run!

Re: Will EVERSPACE ever be optimized for Low End devices?
Hi, I honestly can't say- I'm a bit scepital regarding your graphics card. Win 10 or 7 should both be fine. If I were you I'd buy on Steam and then refund if it runs too slow (If you bough directly on steam you can refund in the first two weeks I think if you've played less than 2 hours)
Also, could you give me an estimate of my FPS if I were to play EVERSPACE on windows 10, with my system specs? (My friend got a solid 4 FPS through my first run.)
One last thing - is Windows 10 good for running EVERSPACE? Would it work better on Win7? (How about Windows 98? jk i was just messing with you)
Re: Planets. How did you do that?
Hi,
The planet surfaces are pretty complex layered material networks using multiple seamless textures and masks (e.g. for water/land masses).
The atmosphere is a second sphere placed around the planets with a lot of vertex shader fresnel computations going on to create the volumetric appearance.
No generators involved
