Do you have something you want to ask? Please share your questions with us below and we will answer as many as we can between now and the end of the Crowdsale 30th June.
It’s a new week, and time for a new round of Parsec Frontiers Q&A. Henning, Peter and Trond have again received a list of your 10 most requested questions. Do you have something you want to ask? Please share your questions with us on our dedicated Twitter post that we will put out @parsecfrontiers and we will keep going through as many of them as we can.
A: There is a finite number of PRSC in existence, and new ones will never be created. At the start of the project, the number of PRSC created was 30,856,775,800. This number only decreases over time, never increases. We will include PRSC already in existence in the starter packs for new players, the exact amount determined by market price and the price for starter packs.
A: It’s possible. Parsec Frontiers is already an extremely ambitious project, and ground gameplay is a very different feature that’s not currently in the plans. But the game’s modular development means it could come up for discussion in the future.
A: We don’t plan to create any more ships ourselves. After the Ark, Nakamoto and Hawking classes, additional ships will be crafted by the players. This means that the first additional ships will become available when player crafting is added to the game.
A: At this point, it’s still too early to give any stats for the ships. Our balancing process is to first spreadsheet our stats in depth, and after that start testing the different elements against each other. So the final balancing will not be decided on until close to the release of the ships as we don’t want to lock ourselves to something that could be bad craftsmanship.
A: Each account can only pilot one ship at a time. We will however encourage players to work together, even to the point of an Admiral distributing his fleet among his allies. We are also aware that multiple accounts is a common practice in many games. There is nothing preventing players from doing this in Parsec Frontiers as well, although we will primarily encourage cooperation with other players.
A: The first planets will be based on our actual knowledge of those planets. The number of plots will depend on the planet size. However, there will be a minimum of 150 plots up for auction distributed between those 17 planets (we are considering expanding it), and this number is somewhat representative for future planets as well.
A: One of the reasons we’re doing a modular development is because it allows us to give access to individual pieces of gameplay as they become available. This means players will be able to explore the Milky Way much earlier than they otherwise would, and let’s us test every element properly before releasing something else. If we released both modules at once, it would mean delaying the travel module until the crafting module was ready.
A: The Foundation can create a reserve pool with voting and several distribution mechanisms, but this has not yet been explored in detail. However, this pool will likely not be large enough to have great effect on money supply to cause neither inflation or deflation. Of course, existing PRSC will be used.
A: There is currently nothing preventing players from writing smart contracts that serve as for example gambling rule sets, and one of our premises is that the community should be given a lot of freedom as to how they play the game and how they earn a profit inside it. We will keep close communication with the community to see if there are any particular business we should restrict or not.
A: If you are eligible for a refund, buying a ship won’t prevent you from receiving your Ethereum. We will check on the blockchain that your PRSC went into the ship auction and still refund you the amount you purchased in the crowdsale. However, if your PRSC has been sold or traded to other parties than us, you will not be reimbursed.
And finally, this week’s bonus “question” has been supplied by Bow:
A: It’s the same as a regular year, but with less calories.
