Comments after watching Multianna's videos

from Sins Forums
Hi,

I don't have the game so far. I'm waiting for the next beta to buy (and try). But I'm currently watching Multianna's videos (beta 2) and I have 2 comments so far:

1- Would be really nice to see the Capital ships move and try evasive maneuvers instead of being steady. Also, would be nice to see some shots missing the target (even if the engine doesn't support this, just a visual effet and no change in the damages would make really more realistic). It must have some dynamic!

2- I found the space really empty! What I see is just planets and stars. No asteroid belts and space anomalies (gaz clouds, etc.). Even if it would have no effets on the game itself, would be nice to see some. I saw that some planets are not linked (routes) with other planets (some have just one link). Why not explain this by adding a asteroid belt (just for visual effects).

Probably those comments have been made by other players, if so, well I add my voice to yours by reposting it!

I'll continue to watch the videos. Thanks Multianna for this !!

3- Another comment/question. In the early stages of the game, I see a capital starship attack some pirates at a near planet. It is clear that the pirates will be destroyed. Why aren't they trying to flee (for regrouping or just to save their arses!!) ? Can the AI (for other players or pirates) flee a battle?

AI can flee a battle, pirates that start out on a planet cannot

Hey your welcome made them for those who wanna see it before buying

1. I agree it would be a cool effect to have, and we have been begging for it, for a long time. We can only hope

2. They have said there will be much more added as the game progresses, but not exactly what, but im sure anomalies gas areas that will effect ships. We just have to wait

edit:
a question for ya
are you watching them on gametrailers or the downloadable onces?

I have downloaded the files (part 1 to 4 so far) from your forum post.

4- Just an idea which is probably impossible, but I'm just saying it. Is there any uncolonizable worlds? Would be nice to have some of them around a system where you could hide a base or infrastructures in their gravity well. Could make the path to those world hidden by some sort... If you ever read Star Wars books, it is always intriguing to hear about an hidden pirate base in sector X amoug the asteroids... hehe

5- Question: if a space structure or ship is behind a planet, is it hidden to the enemy or do they have sensors that detect your ships/structures??

By the way, GameDevs, the planetary bombardement is AWESOME (and of course all the graphics in general)

gaz clouds


First off its gas clouds, secondly they do exist.

No, once you enter a system you see everything in it.

Devs have already stated that with the exception of fighters (who are fast and maneuverable enough to generate a miss) technology has advanced to the point where missing is impossible. AKA: You can always hit what your aiming at, unless it can move away from your shot between the time it was fired and the time it hits.

Dead asteroids -- you can put defenses around them, but thats it. No logistics, no population.

If you modify the space dust settings, you can make "fake gas clouds"

Ok. And I suppose that there is a setting at the game creation where you can decide the amount of Dead asteroids in the map? If not, would be nice. I personally would play with some, to make some remote, hidden bases. But I presume that "No logistics" means no interesting structures (like research station, shipyard, etc...) Am I wrong?

No, they're generated like any other planet.

Actually, they aren't any good as remote hidden bases -- they're only tactical, so all they really do is act as a defensive node between planets.
