There already are, Nexus's stations are my exact clones, only problem is that they lack my awesomeness.

Then we shall make more. And imbue them with your anti-awesome.
Also, we will give them the ability to fart like SoF.

Its true. The development team is just in it for the free sandwiches in the dev lounge.
I know I personally haven't developed anything more than a bad case of hemorrhoids in years.

well somethings gone wrong with u guys, i remember the start of this year i spent more time updating tha playing the game, i then went off for like 2-3 months and i didnt have to update, so i dunno if your just hyping to one big update or your getting lazy, and posts like shigs just blow the devs credability away. some times every one has to be serious and nuckle down like sard.

Well, it's nice to see our lead dev pop his head in the game and give some words of encouragement to the other poor lacking devs... oh wait.. you're not a dev yourself? You've actually contributed nothing but your paltry $9.95 a month to the game? Hmm.. are you sure you aren't maybe a xTx clone, or one of azreal's jolly little elves, cause anyone that would open their stupid yap and bash Shig obviously doesn't know enough about the game. On that note, you have a good weekend, and hey.. if you're bored, instead of badmouthing the staff why don't you like contribute to ds or something? Make a new model, code some ai, etc.

Yes, my post was less serious than others. But you asked that we update you on our progress in development land. I can't speak for others, least of all Faustus, so I told you what I was doing.. just with a bit of cheek.
Look, I've defended the regime (if you will) a lot over the years. And there are good intentions out there, and I know a lot of us have sunk A LOT of time into this game, with very little reward... but its also a bit disingenuous of us to say that "oh yeah, we're working on it, slowly but surely" -- because most of the time we're not. Faustus gets bursts of activity; you saw it when 1.5 was released. That activity draws the rest of us in as well, so we make more changes. Then he will disappear, so we lose the will to do much too - since our abilities are limited both in terms of access and skill. So then we get long periods of stagnation.
We're stagnating. Complain about developer hubris all you want, or say that we need dedicated developers, or whatever your complaint is: I'm sure its true. Most accusations are, at some level. But the fact of the matter is there's just not much any of us can do. The volunteer devs can't fix everything. Faustus obviously has constraints, but I can't explain them. We can't get new devs, because we can't pay them and our doors aren't being broken down by legions of unemployed developers free 10 hours a day and no desire for pay.
It sucks. Trust me, I know. But what would you have us do?
Not to excuse us. The dev team, despite some good stuff and occasional good efforts, has not done all that well by Darkspace. But I just can't see realistic alternatives.
Thanks for the feedback. Palestar values your contribution.

Hmm, Has anyone ever suggested that Faustus to get a second in command so to say. Someone that would be able to be there when Faustus gets side tracked( Damn real life! ). But someone that could get the dev team concentrated and on track, Someone that would have the almost all the abilities of Faustus. So Faustus can keep his real life, and Dark Space can still continue to move forward at a decent pace.
