//----------------------------------------------------------- ::CHANGELOG:: Added a Windowed/fullscreen toggle It is [Backspace]. Hope that does whatever you need it to. >.> Expanded the Play area You now have more room to move and maneuver (about twice as much horizontally and 4x vertically), and the AI won't be rubbing it's face up against the walls as often. Added a minimap Which you now need since you can't see the whole playfield at once. Friendly ships blue, enemy ships red, your ship yellow. Added Adaptive screen movement Meaning the view shown on the screen will adjust itself according to your movement and which direction you are 'looking' with the mouse in order to show you more of what you probably want to look at. ...Hard to explain but you'll see what I mean. Added hull structure In addition to shields, all ships now have hull structure. So instead of blowing up as soon as your shield drops, you can continue to tank hits on your hull and hopefully survive. Your hull currently does NOT regenerate however. Podships also have hull structure, and no longer explode when sneezed upon. Enabled hot-swapping between friendly ships The F1-F12 keys will now shift you to a different friendly ship in the middle of combat. Also if your ship blows up, you will automatically jump to the nearest friendly ship so you can keep playing. Added a Team HUD Friendly ships are now listed on the left side of the screen, along with their F1-F12 hotkey. The ship's Name and the border around it will change color depending on the ship's hull and shield status, respectively. Reworked Podship AI They are now more agressive, choose targets a lot better and are in general 'more dogfightier'. Shields are now restored at the beginning of each round Because why not? Screenshot:  Video: https://youtu.be/kfm68k58bDg //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As before, post yer high scores if you feel like it.  I think Hbar had the best confirmable tally (sorry CK, hopefully the window thing will work?) last time around so I can draw ya something, orrrr you can pick a ship to add to the next build off of here:  (Plus the SKS Destroyer, which is not shown.)CK, the plan is to start working on your pic this week.

Alas. I didn't mach Hbar's record, but I got close with the Lacustrine. Still, introduction of hull points adds alot, although I personally kept my boost on engines the whole time and kept my side to the podship horde: they couldn't hit me due to not tracking the faster speed or something.

nothing to seehere posted:Alas. I didn't mach Hbar's record, but I got close with the Lacustrine. Still, introduction of hull points adds alot, although I personally kept my boost on engines the whole time and kept my side to the podship horde: they couldn't hit me due to not tracking the faster speed or something. Ooh, nice. I think each build is different enough that each one should count separately, scorewise. So uh. You're in the lead!  The AI has trouble hitting you in a turn because they shoot directly at where targets are, and when you have projectiles with travel time you have to lead targets a little bit. They don't know how to do that yet but I should be able to teach them. Ship maneuverability needs to be adjusted to match the new AI as well, the only option for survival as a frigate right now is to lean hard on the gas pedal which isn't that much fun and not really what I intend. The new podship AI was the last thing I did and I wanted to finish up on Sunday. In future I will probably just wait and make sure everything is better adjusted.

I used the same cheesy strategy of boosting engines and kiting the pods into an easily-avoidable blob. Once you break out of the initial encirclement it's easy to avoid hits for the rest of the round, unless you let the blob get too close to the edge and end up facing fire from multiple directions again.

I'm looking into some overall AI improvements for the next version, so hopefully we won't just be flying around in circles forever henceforth. I think more enemy types would be helpful too.

In other other news: //----------------------------------------------------------- ::HASF COMBAT SIM UPDATE:: No new release as things are rather rough ATM and in general very 'test-ish'. But stuff has been done: Have a look here (Video) Implemented Faction AI Previously the AI only knew that Podships were bad, and to shoot them up. Now they will shoot at any ship that is of an "enemy" faction. Doesn't sound all that cool, but the upshot is any ship I put in the game can be used as a playable/friendly ship, or an enemy. It was a needful step I wasn't looking forward to doing, but now it's done, so yay. Added Team Colors Friendlies are blue, enemies are Red. Effects ships and shot colors. Will probably effect shields when I get around to it. Implemented sound falloff Sounds that occur further away are now softer. Improvement, but still needs work. Implemented AI shot prediction They should now be better at hitting targets at range and at offset angles. Improved AI combat navigation Added some scripts that can be set to allow ships to play to their strengths. For instance: HASN Frigates will try to keep up their speed and circle around their chosen target. Jiron Cruisers will attempt to turn side-on to targets so they can bring more firepower to bear. There is a lot more than needs to be done in this category, but it's a start. Added Qura'xxo JumpCarriers They don't Jump, but they do carry. QXO JumpCarriers will spawn Podships, and come with decent firepower. Added Qura'xxo Podships ...Yes they were in before, but they were more of a test-target object. Now they use proper ship AI and have turrets and such. Bonus: Behold the Podship Experience! //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Malda Hiyre, Redshirt Alright, counting Tone-0 we've got four beacons to deploy in two sectors. E20's a better spot than where we dropped our first... two... beacons, and schlepping over there will buy us some time to coordinate with the Jiron cruiser, too. C2 is definitely the best spot in the whole sector, though, for what little that's worth. [Helm]: North to F26 [Engineering]: Boost Engines [Damage Control]: Shield Generator [Sensors]: Scan E20 [Makuje]: Scan B24, North 3 [Scuzzy]: Get over here! vv Whoops, I meant 3, I wrote that just before bed

Are you sure about that North 6 for Majkaüe? That's three subsectors in the hazard zone, we don't know if she can even survive one.Gravedust posted:
