Important stuff discussed in the Chief Chat as below:
Modding: Not planned, instead players may get the chance to make/design and sell cosmetics.
Server Hosting: via AWS, game data streaming will not be used.
Crafting: Two tier system
- Recipes: enables the player to directly craft the item they want
- Higher tier crafting: Players can give an item (with necessary resources) to another player, who will in-turn fine-tune the weapon for you.
Cosmetics: Skins inspired by popular shows are under consideration

Dropships:
- Will be used to deliver THMPRs and Omniframes to player, also for inter-pocket travel
- Closer the base, faster the delivery of THMPRs and Omniframes to the player
- Personal dropships will be displayed on screen while travelling between pockets, akin to warframe/destiny
- Tommaso is working on dropship concepts for personal dropships: cosmetics that will be sold via the shop – different types, colour, material, shader, geometry variants will be made available.
- Dropship structure plan: THMPRs housed in the central section, omniframes folded up in the rear
Tsi-Hu and Kaiju:
- Toshi has completed the Tsi-hu humanoid - sent to rigging
- Working on a kaiju model. Additional work being carried out on something (variant? modification?) that will be revealed later.
Upcoming Art build: will be a model gallery of the human male, female, omniframe, Tsi-Hu humanoid.
