Ironclad is amazing, it just lacks some polish and features.

 Gave one of the auldest BRDY ships a makeover. The new destroyer basically supplants the Desdinova in most fleets, making it less common. Statwise, I gave it a ton more inertia and mass, so it actually feels like a giant brick being pushed around by giant engines. Plus other changes. I like it a lot.

This is a good game that I cannot play. I've tried like three times now and every time I just feel like the controls are all wrong. I realize it takes some time to adapt, but apparently I can't.

In depends on what you're having trouble with, but you might want to try the "invert shift to strafe to cursor" or whatever option in the settings

Play arcade mode over and over until you can circle strafe around ships with ease. That's how I learned the controls.

yeah it is a bit strange at first, as most top-down view shooters have absolute movement on WASD with free aiming on the mouse, while this game only offers movement relative to ship facing which is the way it has to be done, due to locational effects and not allowing turning to be instant

strafe-to-mouse is the only way to play, don't pilot "asteroids" style unless you are micromanaging your omnishield!Ceebees posted:It looks excellent, but i'll kind of miss the prow feelers. mutilation!

I realize it takes some time to adapt, but apparently I can't. Most don't play strictly with WASD controls. I do. However, the default control scheme is "wrong" to convert all your existing FPS skill to StarSector skill. In the options menu, try swapping Q and E with A and D so WASD controls the movement of your ship and Q and E control the orientation. If you don't want to be hitting your keyboard faster than Vika playing Master of Puppets you could use strafe-to-cursor like a big lame-o or whatever.

I've tried that, I think what I'm looking for is straightforward screen relative movement keys. No change to the inertial/facing movement, just the ways the keys react when you press them (ie, up is always up, right is always right, ship front tracks your cursor, rather than ship relative strafing/movement). Not something the game does though, unless I missed an option somewhere.

That sounds like a super awkward control scheme for this type of game.

Sometimes I feel like it would be better if the camera rotated with my ship, for ships of medium manœuvrability. Frigates and most destroyers work well in shift mode, capital ships I usually turn manually, but sometimes there are ships where neither is great.

Internet Explorer posted:That sounds like a super awkward control scheme for this type of game. It's the classic twin-stick shooter control scheme. It works really well when all your thrusters are equally strong, and gets progressively less optimal as your main thrusters get stronger relative to the others. There's a game called Reassembly on steam that has all 3 schemes (keyboard turn and both follow cursor modes) that you can switch between at will during gameplay, which is awesome and something that would be incredibly handy in Starsector.

I'm incapable of playing that game without making something massively oversized and then getting mad at the point cap. Or trying to propel my ship with guns as that one race with the spinal mount cannons made from stackable pieces. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Feb 18, 2016 |

Does more mass equal more damage to enemies from collisions, more damage to itself from collisions, or both?

I feel the game makes the most "sense" at level 0 for many reasons.

Man more range and flux cost is probably the opposite of what the LR PD lasers needed. They're already so long ranged they're wasting flux shooting at ships instead of missiles and more range and flux just makes that hurt more. On the other hand, the first (?) vanilla HE beam weapon is coming.

Are there any mods that fiddle with the availability of weapons on markets? I find it frustrating when I buy a ship and then can't equip it fully with any default loadout because the local market is missing like half of the weapon types it's supposed to have.

I find it frustrating when I buy a ship and then can't equip it fully with any default loadout because the local market is missing like half of the weapon types it's supposed to have. Sadly no, but if you get a mod that includes the omnifactory you can just sell it the ships or weapons you want it to make (for free) and then wait a few days for it to build a bunch of copies that you can then buy. Honestly, I hope vanilla implements some sort of market search or item commission system at some point. Probably when industry skills get in.

That seems to be the general consensus, and Alex agrees. He's already planning to done down the impact of skills as part of a general update to them down the line. He just doesn't want to spend time tuning them now when they're already in for a ton of work down the road.
