It's our cunning new design, the external engine is just for distraction while the hull hides the 2 inaccessible main engines. We already had some guy try to grapple onto the ship and wreck the cores/engine, they seemed perplexed when no matter how much they salvaged the two cores on the bottom the ship would not sink.

Sadly because I'm a dumbass I then made the 3 wings out of SOLID GOLD so the drat thing would only reach like 10-15 knots. We eventually did some upgrades and slapped another 2 jets to the sides. You also can't see the rest of the guns but it had 3 in that iteration and we added a 4th.

ya i was there and it was hilarious

he latched on because I stole a bunch of metal from his crate box, i broke the box with the salvage tool and grabbed about 3k worth of metal out of them and he was shooting me so I was shouting at Moikii to bring the ship down so I could latch onto it. Lag made me over shoot but I had still latched to it, jumped in, dumped the metal then we realized the guy who was shooting had enough grapple range to latch onto the ship, i simply glided to it so i didnt think it was grappable from land so we kicked the engine into overdrive and he hung on for a solid couple of minutes trying to destroy the fake engines and cores then got whipped off eventually, we were all hanging onto for dear life on the ship trying to kick him off by stamping on his parasitic face with our boots offa the ship. It was pretty hilarious. He and his friends were accusing us of hacking because we blew up their ship still in construction and they were upset.

It was a fun afternoon :sun:

LG remember those 2 [XBD] guys we found on the island cluster and pulled their ship off the side..

So me, Derrio, and Moikki are on Arrakis yesterday. We are building a ship and this dude named Dan shows up.

Exact interaction..
A random wing falls out the sky and crashes about 100 yards away, no idea why.

2 minutes later

*Dan runs up to us from some distance
Dan: So you are Forge..
Forge: Hi
Dan: Some people are looking for you
Forge: why
Dan: They said you attacked them and their looking to kill you
Dan: They blew up my ship because they thought I was you
Dan: What did you do to them
Forge: No idea
Forge: Who were they?
Dan: XBD something
Dan: What does your ship look like because they thought I was you for some reason

Dan's cool. He gave derrio, tolly, and me stone metal or whatever when they were trying to extract me from arrakis.

I love this game. Yeah, it's janky and hosed up and the netcode is garbage, but I haven't had this much fun doing absolutely nothing and failing at it in a long time.

It's not really polish this needs, but tuning. A lot of what's wrong right now is the crunchy infrastructure stuff, like making the graphics and physics engine work right, fixing memory leaks and loading times and database issues.

The game's never going to feel fully polished because it leans so heavily on user content and interaction. What it needs is a solid foundation so all the silly weirdness doesn't get frustrating. If they can nail that though the game will be great.

ya thats like a good sign for pvp if there's bitter grudges already, i really have been enjoying this game. Just need to optimize. I've always wanted a game where you could actually grapple actively for once instead of all the hyper realism.

Rag dolling is my solution to everything, but I didn't expect it to actually work. I dub this method, "Ragadolling".

After reading that update, WOW. That is probably the exact list of what currently plagues us when we play the game. If they can manage to fix those then the game will be pretty solid. It's also interesting that they are just removing the salvaging of parts currently but it will be put back in after it gets tuned. So at least they are sticking to the sandbox guns and not giving in to everyone complaining about griefing. On the flip side at least we'll get some use out of cannons.

thats what im hoping in later updates. I figure they're just fleshing out the bread and butter atm then add features that allow us to transport to armadas and fly in formation somehow

bonuses to territorial claims, better mats etc.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if they don't add territory claims. They seem to be encouraging nomadism, and having home islands like that might contradict that.

My only problem is if it's supposed to be procedurally generated, that means that players will be pretty spread out and air battles will be very rare. If they throw some incentive like in the middle of the world you can claim islands, it lets pvpers flock to the middle while nomads explore the outside.

I'd settle for them just making it so crossing a loading boundary doesn't launch me off my ship at high speed, so I can safely leave the helm with the throttle up...

I auto piloted through a wind wall last night. Autopilot is basically already in the game. Formations are dumb and they should never be. Just drive your boat. Really the only people who need formations are pubbies so they can be screaming at other pubbies about what to do and how to fly.

I'm telling you now after seeing the poo poo posted on the public forums.. Each pubbie ship will require the "captain" position. Someone said the other day they were posting about starting their own in game government.
