I'll be honest, I kind of like that the autopilot is not great. It rewards people who have the time/inclination to pilot manually. Even though I enjoy piloting manually I frequently autopilot currently when I don't feel like paying close attention. I like the balance that it takes a little longer to get where I'm going because of that. I wouldn't mind the autopilot being a little better. In particular, I'm thinking of when it hits that overcorrection loop for a long time...

Could we get some more interesting artifacts or uses for credits added before the initial retirement window closes? I brought it up in the Artifact Ideas thread and believe it's important in general. Part of the hook of IRE games is being able to sell credits for in-game currency or earning in-game currency to buy credits, then wanting to come back to something you've invested in whether it's time or money. I believe that a lack of uses for credits could be detrimental to the game.
I realize you have a lot of other projects in the making and polish to add to the game, but I don't feel entirely incentivized to bring my retirement credits over. I will, because I have a positive outlook on the future of Starmourn (and there's literally a one-time window per character). While I understand that you don't want to add anything that might effect the balance of the game, especially this early in its development, I honestly think you've been a tad too conservative.
One avenue in particular is to make multi-class purchasable. It's very regressive to not allow it. Being able to explore different options with the same character is very appealing in that, for some, making alts or quitting a class is very unappealing. There's a great variety in gameplay that people are missing out on. So they grow bored and log in less. All hypothetical, but I think there's truth to it. And yes, I know you said eventually, but c'mon!
Just a quick note, I'll be wrapping this thread up at 23:59 GMT tonight - 7pm US EST/4pm PST! Please have any questions posted up by then to ensure they're answered!
I'm curious. Earlier today, there was a space fight between Song and Scatterhome that ended with massive lag for the whole game for a few minutes. What caused it?

There was a loop in our "mobs defending other mobs" code that only presented itself when someone had a bunch of turrets deployed in the same room.
