We had a missile battery in Everspace 1 that worked similar, so I think we'll try to bring that back, yes.

I guess that question goes to @RFG_Erik
Getting the Beta release ready and shifting over to the Early Access, which is planned for the end of the year. Meaning: new locations, enemies, devices and well, almost everything.
tell us a bit about how was the development process, important moments;
also,minimum settings to run the game will be?

How much bigger would you say everspace 2 is compared to the first game as in environment size the rang of different weapons and their capabilities and the range of ships in the game?
How heavily are you invested in puzzles aspect? It seemed pretty cool that you have them in game like this, so i was would there be more challenging ones, how often we expect to encounter any sorts of puzzles on the way?

This is kind of a broad question. I'll try to put it short and precise. We started from scratch with the experience from past projects (e.g. gof and ES1). Some features, that worked for us, were refactored and reused. I cannot tell too many specifics of the early days, as I joined only a few years ago. So the most important moments so far, were the Kickstarter planning and launch, the Demo, that shipped after the Kickstarter's end as this was the first time players might actually get a glimpse of whats to come and lastly the release of the Alpha. From this day on, it's a live project, which will receive more and more updates and hopefully more and more players!
Minimum spec is too early to tell, but a very speculative range for graphic cards are the GTX 970 (which still works with limitations) and 2070 Super working super smooth (4k 60fps).
To put it simple, one of the most important questions is always: Does it make fun? A lot in our games revolves around shooting, looting, exploring, progressing and flying with a ship in space, naturally many features support these aspects. That doesn't limit it, though. If we decide to implement some kind of mini game, trading, crafting or big systems like that, we find a way to do so. But at the end if always comes down to the fun-question. Of course, there's also budget (time and money).
Not sure if that covers your question. Feel free to ask more questions.
See my upper answer. It's really quite hard to tell yet.
Where in Everspace 1 you had like 7 sectors with around 5 locations each. In Everspace 2 you have 8 sectors and we plan on having around 100 hand-crafted locations spread all over them + randomly generated locations (which was the default in Everspace 1). The location size is also bigger in Everspace 2.
We're planning on re-using the weapons from Everspace 1. Some are modified and of course we will add new ones. It's hard to tell how many it will be at the release, as it might happen in the process of the Early Access that some weapons won't even make it, while new ones are yet to be invented.
Not at this moment.
Nope, sorry pal. Classic pay to play as we strongly believe there should be no micro transactions in single-player games. But there is still a chance to win an access-key for the Early Access, which will transform into the full-release version. Feel free to join our discord to learn more about that.
That's quite subjective. I'd say it's always hard to develop a quality game over several years. But it's not like we don't know what we're doing
Being fans of puzzles ourselves, we are heavily invested in them. Though, the game is not focused on those entertaining riddles. We try to find a proper balance between the shootin' n' lootin and sitting back and take a moment to think. We also try to find a good range of regular casual-easy stuff to rarer hit-your-head-on-your-desk.

Will Mods be supported?
There is a ship (sentinel class), that looks like a classic Jedi Starfighter... there are tons of ship designs that look amazing.

Right now, this would obviously be PC. However, we have a strong hunch that ES2 will play absolutely amazingly on next-gen consoles, but we haven't even looked into porting to those, yet.

Modding is something we would love to do but it is not planned or being focused on right now. First of all we have to decide what can be modded and if this makes sense at all.
We have the game running in the office on different machines ranging from GTX 970 to RTX 2080Ti. Poorest to best experience. Most are on an RTX 2070 Super with 2k/60 FPS.
When we release it somewhere 2022 it would have been in development for more than four years.
Oh yeah, probably!
