Well, that's pretty drat neat. Some much-needed content! For fighter-only mode, will it use the same controls as usual, or have you considered allowing more granular control by putting your extra fighters on the buttons that were used for destroyers and frigate? Individual loadouts for each fighter would add a lot to this mode as well.

Individual loadouts for each fighter would add a lot to this mode as well. It'll use the same controls, mostly because I didn't want to write another variant of control scheme. I can see why individual loadouts is brought up every once in a while, but the game would need to be drastically slowed down to have that even matter. The game is super chaotic, so losing a fighter due to the randomness inherent in the combat sandbox is just part of it. That causes all sorts of friction and weird questions -- do you need to pretty much restart when your bomber gets killed because he juked into a long-range artillery shot? What happen on a reinforcement and how can you plan for it in a way that is interesting? No to mention, individual loadouts would require a rework of the loadout screen which would take longer than I want to spend on it. I could probably screw around with this game for much longer, but it makes way more sense to move on and take what I learned and apply it to something else (it won't be a space sim). But regardless, thanks for putting up with my nonsense. You guys are hilarious and honest with your feedback which is great.

Sometimes I feel like I bought a really honest and earnest developer diary that happens to have a really cool game attached. Thanks for writing so much about the creation and design process!

Really digging the variety in the flagships, but do I need to be the one who fires the killing shot for the flagship assassination achievements/icons?

GotLag posted:Really digging the variety in the flagships, but do I need to be the one who fires the killing shot for the flagship assassination achievements/icons? You need to kill the pod, and it needs to be on Harbinger difficulty (or above if you're a masochist). And you need to be on the beta branch (but I assume you are). If that's not working, let me know what mission so I can make sure this morning's update catches it.

Dragon mode is so intense On Raid at Su'meer Cloud I was just too slow in taking out the last cargo pod, and the flagship warped in with an interdictor. Take that out, try to line up on the escape vector, get a torpedo salvo launched at me, end up making the torpedoes chase me around the flagship and back into its shield bubble, finally jump out under fire and with no wingmen. gently caress I love this game.

Damnit, I didn't realize that you got the Dragon thing after beating the campaign. I thought maybe I had to start over so I reset everything. Welp. I only wanna play dragon style!

Picked this up last week and I've pretty much 100% it aside what I think is a bug and Dragon mode. The final ending choice is still locked and I've done all missions on Harbinger with bonus plus the carrier bounties. Aside from that it was pretty great and I can see myself coming back to this every so often when I need a quick space sim fix.

I finally picked up the game. 7 Hours to beat the game on harbinger, kill all the flagships, then beat it again on Dragon to unlock the final ending. Honestly it was short but it didn't feel short it just felt natural. Its like ok, I do all these hit and run attacks on traitors and it all leads up to the big show. Hats off to the goon who made this game. I hope that you feel encouraged to do more awesome work like this.

I prefer missiles to EMP. Capital shields you take down by flying inside and destroying the bridge (does destroying other modules take down shields? I forget), and using missiles lets you put hurt on beefy things like flagship turrets while waiting for your autocannon to reload.

That mission where you have to shoot down the traitor prince showed me that missiles are the way and the light. gently caress trying to lead that guy with the EMP cannon.

Ok I really need to learn how to deal with torpedoes consistently because I died screaming. until I learn that flak drones and armor piercing rounds are gonna have to be the way to go. Dealt with the 1st mission's flagship on dragon by basically relying on flak drones to make torpedos go away and blew up escorts. I assigned my fighters to target the bridge while I bombed the flagship. It was over quick. Had to keep moving because one shot from a railgun would end a fighter and being too close to a torpedo launcher would mean I'd die when a volley started firing irregardless of flak drones.

Do enemy fighters not launch torpedoes/bombs on earlier difficulties, or am I only noticing it on Dragon because my frigates have been murdering them on every other difficulty setting?
