Development Transparency

[Linkus]

Not complete transparancy, that would ruin a lot of the fun.

But small things like screenshots of parts of a system, things like that.
If someone has an issue with what a system is turning out like, they can raise it elsewhere. The Freeworlds team seem to be doing grand with all that.

Take for instance, a progress update.
A small thing that lets both a developer judge his progress and lets people know how advanced things are coming along.
It also actively encourages people to take up modding too.

I've designed ships, stations, systems and factions. I know that if someone complained about them, as long as the majority is happy then I'm happy. I've seen it happen in my ship threads and well, I just get on with it.

Honestly, a list of Officially Included Ships and Systems would be fantastic for a start.
A few screenshots of upcoming systems or ships would also be great.

They don't ruin the 'Discovery' of it all since well, you end up roleplaying characters who might have been those ships for years anyway.
Discovery should be more about exploration and finding new unique things in systems, like in Coronado (A system you made Nexus). I was overjoyed to find that gate in there and felt a proper sense of achievement and wonder.

So please, just some small things even to hint at new features and a list of included ships/systems.
That's not very much to ask.
