Question about Galaxy

Hey I am kinda just wondering how the galaxy client gameplay wiill work. Like if I leave zoric throught he spaceport I notice when I come back I'm not in my house of course. So is my character there going to die if I leave him at the spaceport too long? Or is he technically now in the space ship and dosen't have hunger? Also can I leave the game while in my spaceship and be ok? I am just having a little trouble understanding this.

when your in your home, you can 2 things, either select the launch home or type in .launch

can leave the game while in space easily without dying. can't really die in space.

the island character must be left at home to avoid death if the island has hunger.
you could say that the space character and island character as seperate as a character on zoric and zion. except for the fact that the island characters make money for the space character.

Launch home as scrag said, then do what zar said, of course!

Your character on the worlds is best thought of as as separate from 'you'. 'You' being the you who flies around the galaxy n stuff.

As commented here, launching from your home will ensure you character is at home when u return. As does just quitting from in home. So um.. all that starport launch stuff and the way it fits in with the galaxy is kinda weird, half-assed, partly implemented, wild ideas, kinda not really workin kinda stuff, and best avoided for now. You will eventually die if u leave a world like zoric from the starport.

Im sure you can imagine, in the long distant future, how the game would give you just one character, and the world you're on would be the world you're on.. your requirement for food would stop when u leave a world and ud move elsewhere.. but this is so limiting for the current levels of gameplay (and also involves a load more codin on my part) that its naught but a fleeting glimpse.

So um, yeh.. for the moment. go home and leave the world. Starport launch doesnt help at all atm. Ill probable disable it for the time being..

nah, don't disable it. thiers plenty of islands without houses in thier economies or without a need for houses.
like zion, biplane world, grand pri, ultra kricket, many others.

i think zoric is the only currently running island where launching from the starport is bad
