[quote who="indczn1" reply="5" id="3535930"] This idea has potential, as long as its not tied directly to the offworld launch. Could be a nice addition to the campaign. [/quote] Yeah, could potentially even just be contracts The Colony is looking for so you wouldn't necessarily need to build an offworld market to claim them.

"Save Humanity. Turn a profit. Preferably Both." makes me wonder if there might be an alternate victory mechanic available to emphasize the Save Humanity part. At game begin you're presented with 3 contracts to pick 1 or 3 of. Each contract has a Goal (such as ship 500 water and 200 food or maybe 200 electronics) and contract value (such as 200,000).

Great game so far, really enjoying the early access. For those of you playing for longer than the steam early access, how do you see runaway leaders as a problem? The positive feedback of thrusting yourself forward especially in terms of additional plots seems to rally some early successes forward. While often it's two players that are rushing ahead, I can't help but feel like sometimes if you're in last in the early game you just don't have much chance to catch up. Ca

I prefer leaving the sound on when I alt+tab. Music in the menus is nice to leave on while I'm waiting around for a friend to come online or something (less jarring than turning off) and in game I could see a benefit to tab to check an incoming message or something but still hear any of the in-game notifications. So, ideal would definitely be an option in the menu.
