Any feedback on the game since it's released?
Would love to hear this too.

Will Sol Exodus have any ability to be modded in the future? And I notice and admire the scene in the video where you shot your way through a structure (awesome effect btw). How do you know which structures you can do that too or is everything destructable to a point in the game?
We are looking at modding and Co-op multiplayer. as the big goals for the next installment (Jupiter to Mercury). Our programmer has the bare bones of a modding system already in place with the way that we handle things like spawn points, it's just going o come down to a matter of priorities for us. We're an extremely small team and we want to deliver a polished experience to the player, so we have to focus on some things and painfully, let some other ideas go. I think that Modding and Co-op are pretty universally desired additions to the game and the pest way to add re-playability to the Sol experience, so the best I can say, at this time, is that they're very important additions to us and we're looking very hard at it. Right now, we're focused on a pair of DLC packs and some patches to address some of the feedback that we're currently receiving over at the Steam forums. Oh, destructible... We have quite a bit of destructible in the game, but we want a lot more. All large capital ships have what we're calling 'weak points' that get flagged during hacking missions. Once these are identified, by Cassie (the Atlas's ai that travels through the game with you) they can be destroyed, leaving giant gaping holes. Take enough of them out and you can take down an entire ship. There are some others that are not as explicitly described to the player, as we hope they'll be discovered by players, which could lead to some pleasant in-game surprises. (Try shooting a half dozen Mag Cannon rounds into a frigate's large thrusters!
) We also have more conventional (shoot me!) assets placed in a few of the levels, like large fuel barrels covered with nuclear or flame symbols.
GTA style of game would actually have a decent economy if done right because you would be trying to make money off stolen goods and parts. I doubt people would make a living the old fashion way (except for the poor npc's).
