the real question is can you turn off the bullet holes in combat because that just looks annoyingly distracting

Gamerofthegame posted:the real question is No, there are basically no settings at all. Yes it is very distracting. The combat feels good though, I'm still getting used to the absolute controls (I'd been playing brigador and starsector with relative controls recently), and I don't love the little targeting arrow instead of a sight line or reticle, but overall it feels quite good.

Anybody having resolution issues? There's no options to fine tune the resolution and my mouse jumps the whole screen if I slide it more than a 1/6th of the screen.

Do you have any DPI options on your mouse itself or some software for it? Also do you know what resolution it plays it if you can't change it? That's definitely a point against. What game doesn't have resolution options in this day and age...

Game punishes failure constantly, even retrying a fight reduces crew moral, so always win on the first run.

Yeah, same. Also my "B" button doesn't work for disabling fires. So I pretty much can't fight. Frustrating. e: I'm an idiot, my fire suppression was just getting blown off. tokenbrownguy fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Jul 27, 2021 |

Make sure you ship actually has FSS, or a back up one if the first one blew up.

Dicked around a bit because it was a slow day - the SIGINT stuff suddenly appearing on the main UI was pretty lol, that was a hell of an info dump Really like the general aesthetic, ship fights seem fun but I wanna dick around in something bigger than what the early game throws at you

I've not had chance to play it yet, but initially people are mentioning there isn't a lot in the way of settings etc for this. Hopefully this is something that will come soon from the dev, or maybe there is a config file that can be changed, we'll see. Seeing that most are liking the gameplay though.

Psycho Landlord posted:Dicked around a bit because it was a slow day - the SIGINT stuff suddenly appearing on the main UI was pretty lol, that was a hell of an info dump You get given a cruiser toward the end of the tutorial and it seems to be a horrifying monster that wrecks poo poo with its heavy cannon and a bajillion missile launchers. It is also a lumbering behemoth that will get constantly hit and suffer damage though, even if it has point defense guns that buzzsaw down missiles. Capital ships seem to exist 1) To provide gigantic fuel tanks to ferry around your smaller ships 2) provide strategic missile capacity for long range ruination of things (not tried this out yet) and 3) To dumpster enemy ships in critical combats at the cost of getting shot a lot then requiring a painful amount of money and time to fix.

 Always share your landing platform if your buddy needs some room  The glitchy graphic effects and the static don't make pretty screenshots. I like how it helpfully tells you how wide of a ship can fit down the tube.

Yes, your cruiser mauls everything early game right now, but is an incredible beast for repairs and cost of operation. Its electronic and standoff capabilities are far more important than its raw firepower, and I think as soon as I have options i'm going to strip off the heavy armaments' and turn it into a fully standoff platform w/ PD entirely. Much like reality specialization is the way to go. I'm going to strip and convert two of my starting Navarin's to scout craft only, and see how it goes. I also keep turning on my ground scan radar and then investigating the random returns in the distance. I think they've all been mountains so far but i'm hoping to find something. Would be nice to have a operation area topographical map so I could cross reference random ground returns for where I expect mountain peaks to be, for now i'm just marking them on the map.

I started with a Skylark which seems to do an excellent job there, it is fast, has good sensors and has a disgustingly absurd range. I think over six thousand kilometers? Along with zero weaponry and less cost than a Navarin.

Alright well I played a bit at lunch, to mixed results. I actually love the landing minigame. It's JUST hard enough. The temptation to go for the bonus repair is real, even if you aren't damaged at all lol. It's not THAT hard, but you can quickly find yourself in a no-hope situation coming down at the wrong spot or getting off kilter a bit. Still it's fun and I like it. Combat also seems p drat cool. I still need to truly learn the whole in-world HUD options, but just in general combat is simple but unintuitive enough to be challenging. Bullets don't always go exactly where you want them to, they spread and deviate quite a bit which makes it fun. UNFORTUNATELY, I got softlocked during the prologue when they try to teach you how to make repairs on a craft. The guy was telling me to click something but most of the screen was blurred out and I couldn't click anything. Managed to get out of that screen but the guy and his instructions were still there and it wasn't letting me click anything else at all. I assume it wanted me to do something, but that thing was impossible for some reason. Not great on that count. Regardless, it's just a cool game that looks incredible and I believe a lot of this stuff will be fixed going forward. The gorgeous art, intriguing worldbuilding, and challenging gameplay combines really well. DarkAvenger211 posted:I'm having the exact same problem.

Welp. Win7 compatibility removed from the features list literally in the last hours before launch. It just crashes every time it tries to go to tactical view. Should've read more closely, but that's looking like a refund.

What do you guys think about the best upgrade, gunner medic or mechanic? Leaning towards mechanic but I'd be curious what you guys think Also how do you fire missiles? Also what is the difference between the missiles you attach in the shipyard and the missiles you buy in the supplies, is the one you buy in the shipyard just the launcher for the supply missiles? It's not exactly clear Finally, I'm not able to find any transmissions or make much sense of that, maybe because I'm in the prologue or something but I'm curious how other people have done with transmissions and what seemed to work. Game is a lot more complex than it first appears Patrat posted:I started with a Skylark which seems to do an excellent job there, it is fast, has good sensors and has a disgustingly absurd range.

Leaning towards mechanic but I'd be curious what you guys think space fires them in the mission, the longer range missiles are done from the top right on the tactical map. I think cruise missiles are always the tactical map ones. I got a ship with missiles on the top and fired it at a target in the same direction I was moving fast but below me, unfortunately while the missile knew where it wasn't it didn't know where the firing ship was.

So after I finish the prologue tutorial do I just start a mission without the prologue? It sounded like it would keep my "Bonuses" into the next mission but it just reloaded an earlier save instead. Not sure where to go after that.
