This will make some people really sad. But yeah it is not like you ever promise they would be able to.

Details of solar systems and resources are not the same as the on line game, because the seed value for the universe is based on the time of its creation.
I understand the universe generation seed has to be different from the MMO universe's generation seed. But it saddens me a little bit that the seed will be different between the solo universe games.
It would be cool if all players of Hazeron Starship had the same identical universe seed. That way people could find cool solar systems or worlds and share the coordinates so others could find them in their version of the universe too.
By the way, using "42" as a universe generation seed is always fun.
If it is setup to have the new avatars always spawn "remote"/ramdomly in the galaxy, it will take a while before people even notice and it would take a long time before people meta it too much.

Only the two lowest level (easiest) pirate empires are complete so they are the only ones you encounter atm; they build small bases. To finish the other pirate empires, I need to design their ships and buildings. It's a time consuming process.
I know you aren't much for accepting help with development and such, but you could do a community content for designing some pirate buildings/ships. It could just be concept drawings or actual Hazeron blueprints.
You just have to give a little information about what you would want each pirate faction to be like and their strength/technology level to be.
If you really want to give away rewards or payment, just offer a free copy of Hazeron Starship or a couple months of MMO gametime (once the subscription start again). Or even just minor things like a "contest winner" forum badge. Some people might even do it solely to have their name shown as the architect of the blueprint in-game.
