I've been watching this guy for a while. He ended the the free build online to start a branch on Steam, and it's looking really, really good. To be fair, he worked on it for years before it went to steam. This is easily going to be one of the games everyone plays when it comes out.

@r3dp9 Жыл бұрын

It was pretty well developed in terms of the core combat loop back then, but it lacked a main/economy/quest/overarching game loop to tie things together. It looks like that is exactly what's been implemented. I'm downloading the brand new demo as I type.

@rosaschlupfer635 Жыл бұрын

@@r3dp9 Yeah, the combat and shipbuilding was pretty good back then already and it looks like they didn't change much there other than adding different resources. I'm not sure how much of an economy the has though. This impression video didn't show anything in that direction, if there is a real economy now it would be really dope.

IIRC, Those Ion lasers get stronger when you build them in series. You can join 2 together before you start getting diminishing returns. But you can also use focusing crystals to focus *those* together. I remember building ships that just had 40-50 Ion lasers focused down into 1-2 beams, that would shred capitol ships in seconds. I can't wait to try the new build!

19:08 Gold would be very valuable in space, because it is conductive but non-corroding for use in vacuum-accessible circuitry, and it's also whats applied in molecular thickness coatings to protect from blinding solar radiation on space suits for EVA and receiver dishes for better reflectivity of all kinds of EM frequencies. The whole mirror assembly of the JWST is gold plated. Plus it's not a metal that cold welds itself in vacuum because it's normally non-oxidizing in earth atmosphere.

@paulie-g Жыл бұрын

Gold is useful, but so is, say, coal. The question is how rare it is, ie supply vs demand. In space, there is a lot of gold. What there isn't a lot of is, say, lithium, which presumably one needs for the batteries.

@wisnoskij Жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. But even given infinite quantities of everything, only like .01% of a ship is gold. Even if everything you make is gold plated, you still only need 1% as much as the steel you need. Gold is too brittle for structural, so you literally cannot use it for more than detail work,

The big limitation in the free (vanilla) version was the range and damage of weapons compared to the size of ship you could build -- your ship could be bigger than the range of its own weapons... There were tons of mods that added more, better weapons (as well as every other type of part) for the free/beta version of the game. The actual gameplay seems to have improved significantly from the last beta version I played (0.15.12b)

One thing I think would be awesome to have is 'ship designer' where we could design our ship and save it like a blue print so we can figure out 1st what goes where and than slam it on grid so we know exactly what to build where. I'm sure people have thousands of ideas they would love to share via this system and Steam Workshop would blow away with cool ships people could share!

design is mostly about "module specialization/optimization" ie : if you want missiles then create a sector that specializes on doing that (how many launchers, factories, shields, barracks, etc.. per generator) and then seal it off from the rest of the ship. with that in mind you can get very compact and robust designs against cascading failures incurred from damages, while optimizing area available to maximize damage output.

reminds me of the ship designer in highfleet, down to the need to fit the thruster and armor, except in highfleet getting hit was a lot more dangerous if there's no armor between your ship's volatile parts and the shells and missiles coming at you since they tend to burn, or explode.

Not sure if the dev's will patch this on release, but mining lasers can fire through your armor plating and have decent range. You can build a thick armor shell around the front of your ship and put 2 or 3 mining lasers behind it. Slow, but effective against lighter craft. Missile launchers are good broadside weapons, as the missiles themselves are fire-and-forget, so they'll hammer into anything 'out front'. And make sure to have energy blasters (only batteries required) and a shield guarding the rear thrusters. Some enemy fighters are really fast, and you cannot outrun them if your cannon's run dry
