haha I did had a silly issue in mission 6, attaching the hub to the space station. In that I attached the Hub to the wrong 1 of the 4 available ports on the hub. There is a white dot that is supposed to be docked next to the SS. I ended up putting the opposite port connected to the SS. Wouldn't finish the mission. edit: this just happened to me... overshot the SS so once I finally realigned, I was dead stopped and out of fuel. I like to imagine that at least one space mission was performed in the past to refuel a tug... all because Jimmy forgot his decimal and miscalculated the required fuel load.

Dude... if you had just detached the tug where you were, the force of the detachment would've connected that module to the space station! At least that's what it looks like to me. I finally got to the lunar landing mission. I did everything right, but as soon as my LM touched down on the moon it exploded. Not sure what to do here. Was I going too fast? I landed in the correct zone.

Still failed

Haha, well, at least now we know for sure. I also experienced a glitch while doing the sun mission. While my first sensor was halfway on course, the mission suddenly ended and awarded me a silver.  I'll take it I guess. I'll probably fly a free mission just to see what the sun looks like at least.

Sidpret posted:How are these? I know Spectral Souls has a free trial so I'll check that but I wouldn't mind hearing a bit more about it, especially since the unlock price tag is pretty steep. Rebirth of Fortune looks like a complete tactics ripoff. If I had to choose between it and FFT, keeping in mind that there's a $13 price differential, which one should I go for? In some kind of creepy coincidence they updated Spectral Souls to support some controller thing and they also released Rebirth of Fortune 2 today.

I've been enjoying Jamestown on Steam. Any similar shmups with a nice smooth difficulty grade and some form of progression in either unlockable content or bonus levels or whatever? Also, what's good in the dual stick shooter rpg genre besides the Solomon and Bug Heroes games? Seems like a genre that's well suited to a touch screen.

How the poo poo am I supposed to win the "Deep Eye" mission in Star Command? (It's the one with the glass brains). They keep bombarding me with poo poo and those stupid things keep running away from my attackers and go onto blow up even more poo poo.

foobar posted:Quick question about Ace Patrol - is there any way to grind previous missions, to either get better maneuvers or complete enough missions to get a pilot out of the hospital? Think of it more like X-com. The campaigns are semi-randomized and designed to be replayed, so if you're losing lots of pilots you're just going to get a bad result on that particular campaign. It doesn't take long to play through one, though, so if you do badly you can just start a new one.  You'll never be forced into a complete loss condition, though. If all your pilots are down, you can just skip missions (taking a 0 on them) until you get enough back to start flying again.

The Crazy Taxi port plays okay; smooth, controls are decent, etc. I haven't played the original in years an years, though; I was sad that the overall game doesn't hold up nearly as well as I thought/hoped it would.

I just have everyone that can attack bunch up at the back of the ship with a couple healers (leave one person in each weapon room though)and leave you engineers create dodge tokens. How the games works now it doesn't really matter if the boarders destroy anything but the rooms you are actively using (weapons/dodge).

Boy Space Agency is pretty rad. I'm stuck on this blind shot to put some probes around the sun. I thought the sun would be huge but it's like the size of the moon so I grossly underestimated my trajectory. Is there some trick to aiming at distant objects or something?

I'm loving it too, but I really wish the campaigns were more sandboxy and open-ended. Having a set number of missions and a hard ending to the campaign bums me out; I wish I could keep developing characters and playing hard missions indefinitely.

Once you get your timing down you can have your craft rotating slowly during the entire trip and thrusting at certain points to save maneuver jet fuel. Generally, avoid course corrections that are thrusts at 90 degrees to your direction of travel as you will probably overcorrect.

Note to all Space Agency players: for the moon landing mission, just because you can get into orbit without the second stage Saturn rocket doesn't mean you should. It's actually one of the objectives to build the whole rocket. So when I checked my objectives screen after finally landing on the moon, I saw none of them were checked off. I hope my neighbors didn't hear me when I let loose a Charlie Brown-esque yell of frustration.

For the data transmission mission for the green planet, I get the satellite aligned and then put the transmission dish into the atmosphere, pointed upwards the whole time, but none of the data gets transferred. Do I have to have the dish enter Green's atmosphere precisely aligned with the satellite above?

Space Agency owns. Now stuck on... mission 4.  I can get into orbit but I don't have enough fuel to get lined up. I even got it in the exact right orbit at the right speed, but a quarter-orbit off from the arbitrary green square, and it didn't register.

Evil Fluffy posted:Did seem promising at least? The look made me think of Tactics Ogre/FFT and if it's similar to them and even half as good I'd probably grab both. Played around with Rebirth of Fortune 2 a bit. I don't see any text problems on my iPhone 5. Everything looks pretty nice. The graphical presentation is actually really solid, with maps that look quite a bit nicer than the first one (I didn't play 1, just going off screenshots). The game is only $0.99 and you don't need to buy any IAP (if you did, it seems very very reasonably priced) so you might as well try it if you're into tactical rpgs. Unfortunately it doesn't have a lot of depth so I can't see it being anything more than an occasional time waster. There's no real story, just tons and tons of battles on a rather large map (it seems like to get to the final boss you'll have to play something crazy like 300 missions). There are 12 classes but a lot of them are just upgraded versions of each other. You level each class using gold gained in battle, which makes the class's stats a little better and lets them earn 3-4 skills to use in combat. That sounds pretty good but that's literally it. I've just explained all of the mechanics in the game to you. There are no terrain/height/position mechanics that I can see, no reason to keep your troops alive in battle (there is nothing unique to a soldier - all archers or whatever are interchangeable), and there's nothing that differentiates any troop from another aside from class. In the long run it's just going to feel grindy. Minor gripes: sometimes touch targets are a bit harder to hit than they should be, no tutorial, scrolling the map vs selecting a square is finicky.
