Better late than never! Welcome aboard, Miner!

We've never planned to do a true collab where the games officially acknowledge each other ingame. That's not to say we never will, but for the moment think more easter eggs or subtle references.

Next you will ask for guns on your guns!
(Fab art, I love it!)

It doesn't. We don't feel it would be much fun for a high-challenge player to be saddled with a low-difficulty mission, or vice versa, even if you can still tweak it before embarking. It's simply for randomly picking a mission.

Community request: It selects a random mission on the map for you. It doesn't lock you in, but it gives you a suggestion. Someone asked for it for a challenge and as a way to force them out of their comfort zone.

Whoa. Glorious work, Miner.

The way the game is set up doesn't allow an easy in-game way to do it, otherwise we would. Feel free, Miner. There will be no hard feelings from us.

Greenbeards don't grow on trees, you know!

Season 5 will remove the cap on Promotions, so you can keep promoting indefinitely.

We'd never stoop so low as to utilize cheap psychological tricks like that to stoke the community.

But at the same time: There will be no petting of the Drillevator.

Good post, OP. Thank you.

Everyone here at GSG are extremely grateful for our community's ability to plainly tell us what they like and what they don't like in a civilized manner. No valid constructive criticism delivered in a sound manner should ever be met with negativity from the community. We're all human at GSG and are more than capable of making mistakes. Sometimes we get a bullseye, sometimes we don't - and we rely on our community for that candid feedback. Your feedback is literally helping us make the game better.

In short: Always speak your mind, whether positive or negative - we appreciate it greatly, so long as you keep it civil. Don't hate on others for disagreeing with your own personal take. Keep an open mind and don't assume your personal opinion is The One Valid Truth. Don't feel that any and all criticism of the game is an attack on it, but at the same time don't negate all positivity as toxic either. As with all things, it's all spectrums, people,...

Often.

Thank you, Miner. I WILL however send this screenie to my minions - that hideous piece of UI needs to be fixed up.

You wouldn't!

There will be no petting of the Drillevator.

If only new Overclocks were incoming. :>

Short answer: Age rating. It's one thing to have it in the poster art, another to actually have it ingame. ESRB ratings are a morass of contradictions and odd choices. We're as saddened by its absence as a cosmetic as you are.

The Pods are pulled out ASAP these days for exactly this reason. If they stay too long, the locals will destroy it, as these incident sites show. These are remains of early missions that did not make it out in time and overstayed their welcome.

As for the Mini Mules, the introduction of the current MULE unit was a cost-saving measure introduced by Management. Independent AI cores of the sophistication and complexity seen in the MULE units do not come cheap, and the larger model allows for more heavy armor as well. A win-win for all parties concerned.

Most HOA's oppose the decommissioning of 750.000.000 tonne orbital installations within their confines.
