Yes, but... this is what level design and environment art does. We make gameplay space. I imagine if / when areas like social hubs and Weapons Labs get support from code (such as written or ready for use) then we would actually build them from a content perspective.

(...)Hire more people fast!

Buy more AUR? We could do something a la "kickstarer" in DUST. Every one buys something for AUR, to "feed the Devs"

This one?

If so, that's coming in 1.4 (early september)

I think this is it, thanks.

Bear in mind we have one team that does these outposts. Team Knee 101 right now is that team. It only consists of two level designers, and the environment artists in that team need all of them on one SI at a time. From an art standpoint, it takes about 2 or 3 months to get them fully art treated and optimized. That's including all t he supporting sockets that go with an SI.

This isn't a task that can be done over night by a single team.

As a request, could these MCCs have landing pads for aerial vehicles on top? And could they have an exposed upper level so us assault dropship pilots don't miss out on the fun?

I love you, LogicLoop.

Are there any plans on bringing back the old Orbital Artillery? (before the ugly fences were added)

Yes!!!! There was another thread somewhere in the forums about taking the fences off.

(...)Why do the Amarr and Matari always get shafted.....

Underground facilities, this relates to our memory problems with interiors in general. We want them too and will find a way to do it eventually.

CCP LogicLoop, this sort of came up in another thread but I wonder if you have any comment on it. I understand you are a small team, but if it really does take 3 months get a new outpost out as you said and as is evident with the Research Lab coming in 1.4 and the Production Facility in 1.7, then how long is it going to take to get all the racial outposts out. I mean, just look at how big the list is,

Amarr, Minmatar, and Gallente Orbital Artillery
Amarr, Minmatar, and Gallente Biomass
Amarr, Minmatar, and Caldari Communications
Amarr, Minmatar, and Caldari Research Lab
Amarr, Minmatar, and Gallente Production Facility
Amarr, Minmatar, Gallente, and Caldari Cargo Hub

That is 19 more outposts that still need to be released. That will take 4 years 9 months if you release one every 3 months, that is May 2018. That is a bit unrealistic, don't you think? Even if you get them out every 2 months, that still becomes 3 years 2 months, that's October 2016.

Of course I don't want to rush the development, but is there some plan of action that's been discussed? Perhaps getting more people on the team or something? Or is the sad truth that will will not be getting a racial outpost for each outpost type :(
