I love that I can play as Star Children with Slipstream FTL. It's just so cool.

Reason posted:In Quill18's Lets Try he says the game gets a little bit samey fairly quickly. Is that correct? Once you get a grasp on the game you really need to play on multiple galaxy maps to get the most out of it. It feels like you're just one part of a huge cosmos with all that poo poo going on.

Agean90 posted:Armor-chat has me thinking, what determines where on a ships model damage occurs? I tend make my flagships with only armor on the front, with patches of it over critical areas on the sides so I can make them fast with oversized guns and support ships. If i get shot at from the side, what determines whether an armor segment gets hit or the exposed supply segment gets hit? I think it's based on where on the model it's actually hit? You can overlay the model in the designer.

Bremen posted:Now I'm tempted to try designing a size 1 support ship that's just a 1 hex wide vertical stick, to see if I could get all weapon impacts to destroy 1 hex and then pass through the ship. Until you get shot from the front...

Every now and then when you use a protoplanet you get the resource MICROCLINE. It infects any planet it touches and changes their resource to more MICROLINE. MICROCLINE does nothing. Transforming all their best resources to MICROCLINE is possibly the best way to cripple an enemy.

LordSaturn posted:My main complaint would be that I'm not sure what happens if I ignore diplomacy to concentrate on shootyships, but I bet it's bad. I like shootyships You can basically ignore diplomacy if you really want BUT you should keep an eye on the popups from it, at least glancing at new proposals. Otherwise you will miss when an empire is trying to annex one of your planets or is trying to make other stuff happen to you. So every now and then spend any Influence you have saved up on good cards to throw out as down votes when someone is messing with you. If you want to focus on combat you'll also want to play the Name Flagship cards.

MooCowlian posted:So I lost my first game pretty quickly, mostly because I didn't really have much idea what to do, but I think I've got that under control. My question is, how important is the ship building? Can I play okay with the defaults, and if not, can I just download a bunch to get me mostly covered. I'm not really interested with fiddling around much designing things. You can usually hit random a few times and it comes up with workable ship designs which only need minor tweaking. Or just grab ships off the user created ships which you can do from ingame from the community tab, there are lots of good ones.

I usually come up with an internal story about my empire and why they do the things they do. It helps to have a bunch of portraits of varying styles to set the mood. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=430173181

By the by, I love the concept of The Expanse galaxy. With a little tweaking of the game options it can actually be pretty difficult too, the big one is Remnant Aggression. Being the only empire means the pirates always come after you too, so it's not without conflict, you're just not racing vs other empires. If competing with empires isn't your thing or you just aren't in the mood, I highly recommend trying that map. Space Skeleton fucked around with this message at 13:47 on May 3, 2015 |

I have made spinal mount ships before and they work pretty well. It's a good idea to cover them in bulkheads. Also other mods as you unlock them.

Let me try to think of some criticism. The weakest point is the research screen but that is getting overhauled soon. It's not broken or unusable, just confusing at first. The AI gets confused if you play with them on The Expanse map but that's kind of an alternate game mode and in my opinion is more fun to play it solo as a relaxing mode or multiplayer vs your friends than with AI so it's not a major bug in my opinion. Other than that... uhh... Star Children can't live on ringworlds! More of a minor gameplay niggle, that.

The community designs could be organized a bit better. Maybe with tags you can assign to shared ships. Also a lot of people seem to upload the default ships or duplicates by mistake. e: Point is, the game lacks any glaring issues.

JonBolds posted:What difficulty are you playing at? Anything which removes planets from the AI works as a way to cripple them. It cripples anyone really, even other players in MP but players tend to do the same things right back once you start doing it because now the gloves are off. Also I refer to it as "escalation" not "stooping".  Other ways to do it: Dragging away their planets over to your systems so they can't take them back without sieging all your system defenses. MICROCLINE Blowing up their stars.

KlavoHunter posted:You've already opened your mouth, why don't you let me know how wrong I am? The ships fly great as long as you don't try to set a new course before they finished the old one, then you can get those long sweeping motions from the first game with lots of overshooting.

doctorfrog posted:How's the AI in this game? Does it have to cheat? My two pet peeves for 4X's are flabby or cheatin' AI. The AI does not cheat at all unless you choose the setting which specifically allows them to. It can be pretty tough but that depends more on the situation in the cosmos than anything. The AI expands much better than any player possibly could keep up with without constant pausing but humans have the edge on long term strategy.

Drones/fighters are exciting! Looking forward to it. I felt like SR2 came out during a period where there was such a glut of similar games and it just didn't get the traction it deserved. It's sad to hear things didn't pick up but I hope the expansion helps.
