questions and requests

Post by t8z5h3 »

hi all,

i am liking the game over all but i would like to ask/ request 2 or 3 things.

1. why do the weapon subsystem deselect after you shoot... is there a way that you could keep them selected and so your mouse could stay on the enemy ship?

2. after a enemy is destroyed the weapon target arrow still stays up, can you reset the arrow to the default one so we can quickly get back to the rest of the game?

3.why do the robots robots/weapons deselect when you end a battle? can those be set so that we can keep the settings from battle to battle (event to event)?

thank you for this game/ project also is there anything we i can do to help the play testing?

Click the autofire button, and you won't have to retarget your guns every time they shoot. It's located near the weapons buttons at the bottom of the screen, and says "AUTOFIRE" in big bold text.

What?

Robots(specifically the drones outside the ship) shut down because you can't bring them with you into FTL; they don't have individual FTL drives. Weapons shut down when you warp out because it would be overpowered if they didn't; imagine being able to fire all of your weapons immediately after arriving at the battle. Then imagine that all your enemies can also do this, and they usually have better guns than you do. There's an augment that charges your weapons immediately after getting to the battle, but it's pretty rare.

on point 2, in a battle event the and the enemy gets destroyed the curse stays red with the "X" as if your going to target a part of the ship that is not there anymore for the attack


about point 3 there is got to be a happy medium because i see what your saying.
