My only Crimson Skies experience was the Xbox game, what kind of game was the TT game?

Never played it TT, just the video games (CS and High Road, comparable to MW3 and MechAssault respectfully) but I do know there was a super detailed armour and penetration/ damage system. Pretty sure CS replicated it too

I own all the supplements for it (unless Bombers and Zeppelins really did make print before FASA died). It, like Battletech, is clunky. The PC game was far superior to the Xbox game, though the XBox game was pretty fun. It gutted the cast of the Fortune Hunters though, for some reason. Its just such campy goodness.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_GtGjExSJc Galaga Galaxian fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Mar 7, 2018 |

The PC version was totally different and was kind of like a standalone expansion to Combat Flight Simulator iirc

God I would loving kill for a playable version of the old CS. That’s a classic that needs resurrecting.

There were no cooldowns in Beta and they never mentioned adding them, that's as much as we know so far.

It's like the world's biggest train in the universe filled with smaller trains, and those trains carrying cargos of various gauges of toy trains crashing at 500kph plus right through the largest factory in the world that makes both real, toy, and imaginary trains of all shapes and sizes located right next to the world's most dangerous and poorly maintained hybrid explosive factory/nuclear power station/bioweapons research storage facility on top of a volcano.

According to Mitch on the Paradox forums, you are unable to alter your MechWarriors in any way. Mostly posting this here in hopes of isildur clarifying, since I thought she said in her Q&A that you could customize name, callsign, portrait, and pronouns. Is Mitch confused and he's only talking about the lifepath (since that directly affects stats) or are we unable to customize our MechWarriors in any way?

This would make sense if there's story scripting based around single player mechwarriors.

I don't think there is, beyond the player character and possibly maybe one-shot appearances by special characters like Lady Kamea, but I really, really hope Mitch is just confused because a big part of the appeal of these games is putting your friends and family in there and telling them how they died horribly. Not to mention Twitch streamers love to rename after their subs and viewers. It's a feature that has no direct impact on gameplay but has such an effect on the people playing the game that it's expected to be there, and if it's not it will be immensely confusing. My own excitement level has taken a drop from Pretty Hype to Concerned just by the news of losing it.

I genuinely don't mind either way, what's best all depends on how much the backstory 'matters' in the actual gameplay. In XCOM every recruit is functionally identical and their story emerges from the gameplay so full customisation makes sense. In JA or Battle Brothers the backgrounds are important because they have gameplay implications that will impact how that emergent gameplay story develops.

Mitch has confirmed for finals that the ability to customize MechWarriors in any way has been cut. You can still customize your commander but that's it.

Shame. Would have loved something like XCOM 2s soldier pool. At least it should be possible to brute force things like that one goon did on Day 2 of the Beta (whose name eludes me)

Oh for my part I'll be able to mod in anyone I want, but given that this was a part of the Kickstarter and that's not something you should have to know how to do, this is the first thing that's made me have a bad taste in my mouth.

Sky Shadowing posted:Mitch has confirmed for finals that the ability to customize MechWarriors in any way has been cut. As in, not even their skill ranks as you use them? I hope not that far, because if so that would put your pilot tactics more firmly into the Luck over Skill category, and render them even more disposable for the most part. Hard to place an attachment to pilots with points in stuff you want when it's luck of the draw, though maybe the trading card mindset is expected to take hold? "This guy actually has breaching shot! Therefore this roll of the dice blessing my campaign means he's my most valuable asset due to artificial scarcity!-oh whoops he's gone. Welp."

"Advancement" is not "customization". "Customization" in a game like this is literally changing portraits, names, and biographies.

They're talking about aesthetic customization. Pretty sure leveling up and skills are still in.
