Frank Horrigan posted:Hah, looks like the chucklefucks at Frontier purged all open tickets again. Three weeks with no response and they deleted it without even acknowledging it. Chucklefucks? Seriously?  I mean I filed a few tickets that never got responses but I'm not taking it personally. Edit: please do not take this as me fellating the developers rather pointing out that mass purges of open tickets (of which I'm guessing there are a ton of pointless ones) is relatively common when you get done pushing out a bunch of bug fixes. If this issue is so pressing, maybe try opening a ticket again? Nostalgia4Infinity fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Dec 17, 2014 |

Everyone who plays this owes it to themselves to check out a black hole. The gravitational lensing effect even if it ~*~isn't 100% scientifically accurate~*~ is impressive and you can only really get the full effect by seeing it in person. Also folks need to let go of things added for the sake of game play. Velocity bleeding on rocks and cargo pods is one of those things.

Mr.Unique-Name posted:I tried cannons and absolutely hated them. I could never hit anything. Do you just bump into the target then pull the trigger or something? I use them exclusively to punch out the power core of larger targets. But yeah I generally have better luck hitting them up close.

Turns out disabling orbit lines turns off the "don't go inside of this circle" graphic on stars which is invaluable for fuel scooping. Guess I'll be keeping that on.

Adam Bowen posted:I really wanted to like this game, enough so that I dropped $60 and then bought a $200 joystick (not just for this game, it'll get use in a few other games at least) but this is crap. I just spent 2 hours playing and the end result is that I have about 800 less credits than I started with; between taking combat quests and going to the system I'm supposed to only to find nothing there, taking trader quests and then finding that the item I'm supposed to buy is about 200 LY away OR the station suddenly decides they no longer want the item at all, or jumping into a system and having to spend literally 15 minutes staring at dots while my ship flies to one of the stations, I am left bored out of my loving mind. I get that they want our minds to boggle with the glorious size of space, but spending 90% of game time traveling around at warp speed and doing jack poo poo is not fun.

evilolive posted:This game in it's current state is a 3D version of Escape Velocity Nova minus the faction story lines. This game will fail if it doesn't incorporate player owned space. It just simply will. There is not enough motion within the universe without. What we have is an endless supply of systems and no way to make a distinction between them. No way to make a distinction between areas of space and with no storylines to really speak of, you will end up with a stale game. "Game does not perfectly match my expectations therefore it is garbage."

evilolive posted:I agree with this. You don't need silly mechanics like walking in the space station or some silly FPS. Economics, business, politics and war should be where the focus is. More dynamic input on the economy from the actions of players, influencing politics and I think it really needs a much stronger mission storyline for each of the factions. It feels very random and souless. That's what you get with procedural generation, so imo they need to open it up more to the influence of the players. It should not be easy to do something like sway the politics of a system, but it should be possible. Additionally as I said yesterday, I think you should be able to take over a system in some fashion. You taking over a system is never going to happen so you might was well give on that nonsense (how would you even track it in a game where playing solo is a thing)?

Luccion posted:Wow, that's super clever. You do realize that you do in fact have an effect on the galaxy right. Currently Goons are collectively raising the influence of an independent system to start to creep into the neighboring systems. We are seeing more an more missions of our chosen faction outside of the system they originated in.  It doesn't fit his narrow definition therefore the game is poo poo.

evilolive posted:Cobra is really a nice ship, probably too cheap for how good it is. Asp is my next target for ship. Passed the million mark today, and on my way. Four utility slots on that baby, go exploring! Considering it is the nicest ship the average player is ever going to see, it's probably appropriately priced.

peter gabriel posted:Could you expand on this please? My original comment re: Cobra was based on the idea that ship/component prices get absurdly expensive relative to player income. Thread consensus seems to be otherwise  Although I guess I should change my statement to "The Asp is the best ship the average player will ever see."

The docking port is your thumb. Pretty cool how the game models physics correctly sometimes. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule This was a good rule but casuals complained and now the station hologram has arrows on it

Pochoclo posted:It may not affect you and me but some guy with 5 billion has a hell of a lot more of a chance at reaching some of the cash prizes. So they either cancel that cash prize thing (which is silly anyway) or manually go through each account's transaction log and fix them all, or rollback. I doubt they'll rollback. What part of "we will be looking at the saves of people competing for the award" do you not get? Or is this the manufactured outrage of the day?

Ships from different manufactures/whatever really look different. It's pretty easy to pump out nifty concept drawings when nerds will shower you with cash for it. They just finally got around to adding the Avenger didn't they?
