This is absolutely magnificent! I love it!

88 Keys is the way a Keyboard should be~

Release that giant D ship under a different name eh.

An idea I had (not sure how hard it would be to code) for a great feature would be making all display screens touch capable. Using the mouse can be a bit cumbersome to get pointer precisely where you need it, and in some cases affects FPS.

I only found out about this game a couple weeks ago but I am fully redirecting my stream courtesy of this game. I find what you are making to be very inspirational and will simply be flying around the milky galaxy until I can make more immersive content with crew members. I am slowly building my crew from fellow Dual Universe players that I have known for months or years who are jaded from playing a game that has been all but abandoned by the devs. I am currently playing the part of the lonely ship captain who is in charge of too much ship and not enough crew. I spend a lot of time staring wistfully out of windows.

I am on a lonely journey towards Sagittarius A* right now with an estimated 23 hours and .3 hours remaining. Regards, Captain Larkin NSFW White Star Will be paying for Commodore Access on Ko-Fi in a few days. I had a few unexpected expenses.

A piano should have 88 keys.

As a musician myself, I have been WAITING for the opportunity to play that piano! x

I appreciate the dedication :)

Ive always wanted a sort of “Star Trek” Simulator. This seems to be the closest attempt at that, that I have ever seen. Nice work! I hope it works out and I can’t wait to play the final product

Any chance of adding bearings and headings in to navigation and helm? It might be more rewarding to steer manually if you can tell what angles things are relative to yourself, or your own angle relative to the galactic center and plane. It might also be worth separating Navigation in to a separate station from Sensors. The sensor station could be using a selection of different types of sensors to gather different information. Like an infrared sensor to provide a list of contacts, then an "FTL Radar" to get bearings, headings, and velocities, then a spectrometer to get specific information like class of star or planet, or type of ship. The navigator can then either select from this list of sensor contacts or from star charts in order to lay in a course for the helm to then execute. (This list of sensor contacts could also be fed in to the Tactical station for combat situations.)

I noticed in the engine startup module that if you don't follow the way points exactly, A.V.A. will not activate the next task. There are two sets of stairs starting on F Deck and as I just used whatever one to get to the Bridge, I had to go all the way back to F Deck and retrace the steps following the way point. That's a weird mechanic for that particular module.

thanks for sharing this series with us truly awesome

This ship could replace Star Citizen of you play your cards correctly. My stream will likely be dedicated to it shortly once we have most of the ship to RP in. Regards, Captain Larkin NSFW White Star

Could we get the ability to change the emblem of the ship on the floor of the bridge?

Thank you very much for the hard work you put into Starship Simulator.

This game is designed to be extremely addictive because of lots of things to explore. Infinity out of 10 for me. Can't wait to play this and get hooked into this more than I spent time creating digital products.

This should be an MMO so a whole crew can work together to operate a ship.

This is truly an incredible undertaking. I've been exploring the starship, and WOW you all have put a lot of passion into this. I know there is a lot more to be fleshed out, but what you have thus far in the demo is a work of art. Once you have fully released this to the public, I will definitely being buying it! One thing I hope will be coming soon is optimization. 30 or 60 FPS is giving me only 11 to 13. Whether graphics are high or low it is still the same result. Other than that, bravo on a heck of a simulation!!!!

Looking good 👍 I tried to play on Steam Deck a few months back it all loaded up and ran fine but controls and rebinds were a problem to setup so I never got out the start meeting room which was a bit of a shame. Anyway just a note for your I’m sure very long to do list, keep up the good work.

To simulate the real Navy can the ship be undermanned yet still somehow have so many crew that the enlisted end up hot bunking? Also paperwork, officers have to stand 2 four hour watches and do 8 hours of paperwork a day. Junior officers need to make lots of PowerPoint and do repetitive useless training. NCOs need to do the real work while the junior enlisted break every rule in the book.

Hey is there a version planned without the "UN" branding? We prefer a multipolar world here instead of some dark "One World" fantasy.

Esse jogo e bom, eu

I was a alpha tester back when there was a dev group for a star trek game around 202 or 2012 or so,. Any connection?

Relese date plis ?

Really like the looks of the black holes! They look really accurate to what I thought they look like. For example the lighter and darker sides. But apparantly huge black holes dont have a flat acretion disk but more of a toroid shape, like a disk that gets thicker to the edge and it’s centre would be be very bright. Maybe a little like the old black hole version you showed. Sag A* should indeed look special, a bit scary with an acretion storm. But still think the generation system looks great for smaller ones!

Ich sage es mal auf Deutsch, da mein Englisch zu stark eingerostet ist. Das ist Fantastisch was ich bis jetzt sehen und selber ausprobieren konnte und wird so einige Games wie Elite und Co. in den Schatten stelllen. Ich habe leider erst heute davon gehört was Ihr da die letzten Monate auf die Beine gestellt habt, bin seit einigen Stunden schon auf der Brücke und Reise durch den Weltraum.👍🖖 Ich werde euch auf jedenfall unterstützen.

Can't understand aa word you are saying. Fix your mic.

First of all, excellent game, amazing ship design. I found this channel 3 days ago, and have been glued to my screen ever since. But I do have a recommendation: Rotate the crew quarters 90 degrees, so the interior of the ship can rotate, providing artificial gravity. In case of combat (if that's even a part of the game), the exterior hull (where any weapon would be mounted) could spin far faster than the crew could survive, while preventing the crew from being turned into goo. The bridge of the ship, as well as the major control stations, would be oriented with down being the direction of the engines thrust, so that in combat, the most important crew don't have to deal with varying gravity. The rest of the crew would not enjoy an engine burn, but it cannot be avoided. The fusion reactor can sit in the center, so that it doesn't have to deal with any stresses from "gravity". Any loads will be in the direction of the engines thrust (unless the ship gets hit by something, but additional supports can be added as needed). For potential weaponry, I recommend missiles: kinetic energy goes up with velocity squared, so if you double velocity, explosive power is increased by a factor of 4. Lasers don't scale to this extent.

How symbolic ❤

Sometimes i miss an episode. But i always watch it the day after or so. Yesterday i showed the dev-build to a friend who is fiddling around with Unity and stuff. And he was right away excited. I am proud of being part of this.

Elon musk stuff here. Awesome

Another live stream today, can't wait lol and I got no sleep either

when does it go into Beta?

As someone who is a child of the 90’s and is currently re watching Voyager…. This is the game for me!!?

Maybe someone suggested it already bit maybe deck/overhead instead of floor/ceiling? Having another F in the panel code could be confusing with F for Forward quadrant. Just a thought

Set a course for the center of the galaxy, 4 days travel (real) time. Can't wait to get there!!!!!

Why do u have so much buttons on the toolbar while you are using shortcuts....more screenspace to work dude

OMG, hurry up Dan! I am literally freaking out and can't wait!

awesome the graphics are so incredible love watching these series

Will there be support for other languages such as Brazilian Portuguese?^^

I love the new panel details. With the ID system. In universe, the ships sensors would use this to detect where a problem is located around.

Three points just from the first thirty minutes: 1. If the panels are able to 'fit into crates', then it follows that, once in the crates, they could go through the doors. 2. So, did I hear you correctly: did you say that CROWS are more intelligent than PRIMATES? I've seen chimpanzees use tools for getting insects out of tree stumps, but presumably these are as you called them 'opportunistic' tools rather than the chimps actually keep them around with them in, say, a bum bag. 3. I'm afraid it's the old health & safety issue: if there is a fire on one of the lower decks that spread upwards, everyone in a panic, what will we have in the way of fire exits and ways up and down, and exterior doors as well (assuming the ship was on a planet)? Or at least a means by which everyone could get to an escape ship? x

Moving large panels and other large objects is one of the functions of the transporter. Design one and use it to move items throughout the ship 🙂 In the future, you could use it for other purposes.

I been here since day one can’t wait for the full release

Boring simulator
