But 2 questions :
[*]Ability to replay existing Tau Ceti episode 1 & 2 as the start of the storyline of Tau Ceti
[*]Story missions that continue from episode 2
1. So ... this will allow player to make insane amount of cryonites with tau ceti tech.. Will you let the infinite cryo bug on the mission " Mantis interest " ?
2. You say that new tech will be available .. since you are releasing TC in parts you will release ALL items or just some tiers ?
1. We need to recheck/balance the existing episodes 1 & 2 to match them to the progression of the TC items/ships the player can find.
2. Yes we will release the items in tiers to match it with the new content that would be released in each part.

1. Really curious highway, are there going to be new enemies we are going to face in tau ceti, are you soon going to post the second story planet on tau ceti?
2. what new levels can you reach to? 3. How much cryo will each of the ships cost?
1. Yes there will be new enemys to play against that require new tactics and offer new gameplay mechanics. TC will have more story planets but Part 1 will only contain a completely accessible and reworked Venar.
2. The max level will reflect the new Equipment the player can get and raises with the release of the parts.
3. Cryo pricings are not yet balanced

Is the Tau Ceti tech acquired at Part 1 the only tier of TC tech we are going to get in that system? Or are there more tiers like in previous starsystems f.ex?
Each parts will unlock a new Tier/Set of items/Ship the player can aquire.

In the beginning of Tau ceti will We at least have our ancient ships however equipping Tau ceti tech?
Do the new blasters fire different?
What are the size comparison of the Tau ceti ships to ancient ships?
Are the Tau ceti ships storm....tank....shock or hybrids?
Because methonoids live in Tau ceti, does this mean the new technology is from the methonoids but more advanced?
Will We know more mysteries about the ancients?
Many Interesting questions I would love to answer but this would spoil the fun exploring this yourself when it gets released. But you definitely can equip your ancient ships with TC tech to progress in Tau Ceti.

1) We can expect the first part of Tau Ceti to November of this year?
2) In this first part, how many story planets we can land?
3) The ships will be unlocked doing mission or only visiting the hangar?
4) What means "blueprint dependency mechanism"?
1. Sorry i can not yet give you a date since we are still working out some technical designs to get a better time estimate.
2. See answers above
3. Its not finally worked out but some I quess need to be found as bps from enemys.
4. We are still evaluating this mechanism, but at its core a player needs a set of completed Bps to build an new Item. e.g: Oolyte Blaster BP + Weakest TC Blaster BP = Build Weakest TC Blaster
This should ensure that all the hard work that went into gathering Sirius tech/rares etc can not be skipped.

1> How big is Tau Ceti gonna be, like how many story planets or how long the storyline gonna be?
2> If I readed correctly it says 'new ship classes', so will there rlly come more then one new ship class
?
3> What does this BP dependency mechanism mean?
4> About Vénar: I see you will make whole map accesable, but I wonder if the map of Vénar get more filled since currently its pretty empty (both NPC and environmental)?
5> What is the Plan with TC Part 2? To me Part 1 contains everything for a new system (like SM, ships and items) so I'm curious
6> Will TC also contain special items like Ancient tech in Sirius (Strong, Long etc)?
1. The Tau Ceti content will be similar to the Sol system and feature some cool stuff what we don't want to disclose yet
2. Yes there will be more than one new ship class (like the sniper, defender) with each featuring an unique set of 4 items. And the other ships will not be as you might expect... ^^
3. & 4. See answers above
5. Part 1 will not contain the complete content in terms of Story missions, tech to gather etc. Part 2 will get a new dev shack that goes more into detail.
6. We will feature Rare Tech but variations are not planned.

1. can we expect some conquest planet for Part 1?
2. Tau Ceti will have a challenge planet?
3. It has been said in Dev Shack that the blueprints and the new class can be found in Part 1, does that mean blue bps?
4. We can expect gold bps in Part 1?
Most of your questions are answered above but there are some new ones I like to give feedback on.
1. Part 1 will not contain a Conquest planet but its planned for the other parts.
2. This is as well planned but not for Part 1
3. & 4. Yes Blue Bps can be found on Part 1 but no gold/rare ones.
Thanks for all your questions so far.
