I'm extremely excited to see that Hazeron multiplayer development has resumed, me and my friend have longed for another chance to play Hazeron together for YEEAAARRSS 
It's especially exciting with the opprotunity to allow community contribution through the use of GitHub. Like many others in the thread, I think this is a step in the right direction.
And a handful of talented players have shown great promise and effective skills at tweaking, upgrading, and fixing systems within the game. I also know that your work on this truly unique game has inspired a handful of other talented players to start looking into creating games inspired by yours. To both of these groups of people, they would immensely benefit from being able to see "under the hood" of the game - either to be a second pair of eyes to resolve issues or to be inspired in their own pursuits.
I personally have been inspired in other ways (your game ignited my passion for space in my teens before college, ultimately leading me to help humans return to the moon by working on the Orion spacecraft), but it's important to understand the depth of impacts your game has made, despite how few have actually seen it. In that sense, I think that allowing others to be more directly inspired by your game by having the ability to view the code at their liesure and take nuggets or truckloads of knowledge from your work is something that would benefit everyone and potentially allow the game to effect even more people.
As for the patents system, I didn't particularly like the implementation of it. That said, I do think there should be some kind of forcing function to drive you to explore to find the Q250+ of every different type of resource for your empire though. It's awesome to have a whole world dedicated to farming Q255 animal carcases so your citizens can have literally the universe's best meat and leather.

Quote:Also I noticed the last multiplayer build of Shores of Hazeron still had patents. I completely removed them from Hazeron Starship because they were dull and boring. Do you want them completely removed from Shores of Hazeron?
