*** CLOSED BETA UPDATES & DISCUSSION/BUG REPORTS VI ***

xeransa and Psycho appear to be the next victims of a lack of pointer to the chat interface.

I tried talking to them. (Hello if you read this)

 

Does u mean smaller ship tier rank 3 can dmg any shield tier 5 rank? Its looking like boolshit Cuz im try do it before. 6 atacks are resisted by shield.
1. Enemy tier 5 shield resist 3 atacks of my ai teammate tier 5 ship weapons.
2. Next resist my 3 atacks in same direction.

Damn, its not fun. When enemy shield can resist all atacks.

P.S: when im fighting, i just not looking in chat

 

I've had a pretty bad internet connection today, so I keep getting disconnected from the server (my bad COX CABLE provider). But it brought in an interesting situation. When I get disconnected with my troop ship support, it would leave a copy of my ship, without me losing it (only if you have it set at hold position). So when I returned with another troop ship, that one would be sitting there in defense. It was pretty cool though, for a while there were three troop ships chilling in the middle of the map, playing defensive, until too many Sol players had moved in on me, and killed them one by one.

 

It's not just about the number of attacks, but the quality and angle of attack.

Hitting the same side is generally good, but maybe you would have done better checking for an unshielded side.

Also, you need to have your weapons fully powered vs a higher tier ship AND move in close for maximum damage (all beam weapons get +1 damage at 1 range, some get up to +3 and out to 6 range is +1) and chance to hit, you should still get to go first since your light ship has higher movement ratio and more initiative (if you plan well).

 

That's point, your a class 3 ship fighting a class 5 (and the best class 5 tank, but weak on offensive instead). It takes several class 3's to take on a class 5, otherwise there'd be no point in achieving a larger ship. You can always also leave and fight another border area, if the class 5 is getting annoying. There's 50 or so sectors you can battle without having to see him.

 

Of course, if that C5 is a player and successfully defends the area, they will probably leave and look for more work to do.

I wouldn't bring a C5 against 3 corvettes or even one frigate without support. It's too slow and skilled players will run circles around it all day.

 

V, my card is screaming at me at 1500 frames per second (mostly during load screens, also when program is minimized, usually runs around 600-800 fps in other places, which still causes the card to figuratively scream as well as literally the coils producing a sound) and heating up unnecessarily (fans get kinda noisy as well).

I tried forcing vertical synch in the Nvidia Control Panel to throttle the frame rate to 60, don't really need more, especially for this game, but that doesn't seem to have any effect. Any help?

3 more people that I can't talk to because they didn't notice the chat interface!

 

Name plate on galaxy map gets in the way and prevents clicking sectors even when it fades.

Perhaps a highlight around the player's location would suffice and instead place player information off in the corner.

-Yeah, or more transparent perhaps -Vesuvius

 

omg omg, was just in a live battle with 6 players at the same time, idc if one was in a c2 puritan and some dont talk!

 

Okay, working in Wine, but I'd rather be running it natively.

Chat could do with time stamping. Local time, of course. Also, I can't say that I've noticed any indication that there's anything unread.

Also, any possibility of using YYYY-MM-DD everywhere? That way, no possible confusion over whether it's day first or month first.

-That is something that will be corrected on launch for sure -Vesuvius

 

While we are at it, a system that records every action input throughout the course of a battle and the results so that we can replay and review it would be cool too

 

Retaining chat log for a while after leaving a sector. That'd be helpful for situations such as when returning to a battle after losing your ship(s).

 

This looks like a good idea too

XP log, ok put that in the replay

 

There are problems with vision/detection again (still?)

It seems that sometimes an enemy can be within a friendly AI's vision but not displayed to the player, and we do not update the enemy's position/information because it is thought to already be shown to us?

I'm watching Paz ghost about as he attacks, another player Kiri and myself cant see him, but I found where he was with being unable to move to a specific tile.

May have something to do with the radar clouds?

Bug persisted over several rounds, left area and returned, still appears to be bugged. At least the AI ship is dead now (Gorsh), so detection should refresh.

 

Give me some good patch news... It's been a pretty rough past few days IRL ><

Turns out my water heater probably wasn't ever serviced by the original owner for 7 years and is so chock full of hard water sediments that it can't be flushed or drained, pretty sure I dealt it a death blow in my attempts. A $50 fix for a parts kit and tool is now a $250+ replace the whole heater job.

Then there's the A/C, the dog, and the yard because of the dog. Sucks having to spend almost every dollar I earn on things I don't want to spend it on!

At least games are consistently good to me

Edit: We can delete our own accounts to reroll faction and/or starter ships now?! wuuuut!

Why does the 'total regions captured/defended' score for a ship go up to 50 if it appears that the rank 5 upgrade requires 40 still?

 

Player is urged to repair during repair phase every time they are damaged. Should only inform the player once.

-If that is the case, then it definitely needs fixing. -Vesuvius
