Dust is suppose to have a random map generator that creates terrains, and fits outposts and other elements on that terrain to create relatively unique maps for thousands of planets. For some reason we only have access to a handful of maps, is the map generator not complete yet, or are we just not going to be testing the terrain generation? Will we ever get to see different and randomized terrain layouts around the outposts?
I'm guessing that the map generator will not be seen until the official release.
BTW,would you really want to see it in this version of the beta with all of the glitches that it has? Do you really want it to be more broken than it already is.

Actually I would want to see it considering it's something that probably needs to be tested regularly.
I agree that it needs to be tested,but not in this build.Only when they move to TQ is it really worth testing at this point.

Then other corps can come and try and seize the territory, etc
From what I've heard,that's kind of what's going to happen as far as a corps structures are concerned,and when they get taken out,that will slightly change the map.
As for the random generator,the generator is for each of the 3000 plus planets that we will be fighting for.I think it's in the Fanfest videos that they talk about it.There's going to be something like five temperate planets and every map/planet will be a variation off of each of those five.
