I shall remember to mourn the loss of my men in combat.


Mourn indeed With the population of some planets being ~40 it's a wonder the TEC can keep their ships crewed =0

I shall now remove my tongue from my cheek.

Tangent time. Any plans to include a morale system? I can't believe I just typed that...most of the time I loath dealing w/ morale but I would kind of like to see some (combat?) bonus attached to killing a flagship.

Pun time. The advantage/penalty should, of course be fleeting.

No, seriously my cheek is totally tongue free now.

I think everyone will find substantial improvements in Beta 2. That's all we're going to say for now.

I got some more questions and ponders after being away from the game some time:

1. Will we be able to upgrade turrets from say Gauss to Laser to Auto-cannon or whatever seems suitable, perhaps in a tech tree improvement?

2. How come frigates and manned gun turrets don't gain experience too, much like capital ships, perhaps with the exception of being able to chose new abilities, just an increse in accuracy.

3. Will we be able to get a super cruiser in which we can dock several frigates of own chosing and mayhap function as a major mothership with limited mobile construction capabilities (Due to the total amount of people manning the super cruiser building unlimited is not an option unless filled again.)?

That's all I got for now...

Need me to say it anymore? I am shocked nobody has talked about the aforementioned 3 features in picture that aren't in beta 1 as of yet.

I spy at least 3 stuff that wasn't in beta-one in this picture in add to the LRM Frigate itself. They are the object behind the blue lighting field nw corner that look similar to a squid. Light effect around the crystal on rock in the background. Two "UFO" between the squid object and the rocks and planet. I don't know if this weird light of bright white dot on the rock is new effect of light or whatever.

Those feature/lighting etc.. Also unknown objects are flying around in picture too.

oooh ok I understand...

On IRC we made up the term "Noob Claw" for the squid like thing, and when its launched it plays the Scorpion from Mortal combat "COME HERE!" sound effect.

I have to admit that the screenshot shows some ships (in the background) that won't be in Beta 2 (which will remain TEC only).

Designer: 1) No; 2) Because capital ships are meant to be very special and unique. Frigates are meant to be "workhorses" for lack of a better word. 3) No.

obviously massively ignored. the devs were so decidedly not going to use it, that despite it being the central topic for a week, it was almost never quoted on the feedback thread.

Betting that you didn't expect those stuff to leak out earlier than planned did you?

Ah didn't know there was a discuss over at IRC and I don't plan to listen to IRC in any time soon.

if your not... why do you call Solar systems "galaxys"?


HEY! Answer me this: Why do the solar systems have colors? If its nebula, then the nebula would be too hot for anything to exist (life i mean) inside, wouldn't? Plus I think other people have called them galaxys too.


I'M CONFUSED!!!

K, I circuled the n00b claw and UFOs, but what is that other thing I circuled. Kinda looks like the moon.

Dang, Capital ships is pretty much all I build hehehe... I really think they should be much more expensive to be honest. And as I'm guessing there will be lots more frigates added later I guess there would be some more use for them...

Oh, and someone mentioned that asteroid with crystals on it being odd, but, isn't it just an asteroid with crystals that you mine, but extremely zoomed up to capture the view of that Frigate?

I generally only quote new threads. Otherwise, ongoing threads get a link in the ongoing section, unless there's something really groundbreaking posted in it. It's the same treatment all ongoing threads get.

LMAO! Space fog!!! Sound like something from Star Trek. I do think it looks cool when your actually in the system (it looks like clouds).
