MY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE OF COSMOTEER

Disclaimer - Apologies to whoever created the Enterprise D, I couldn't find the author (I did look) but the ships darn cool 😃

PS. I use Warhammer 4oK 7 ABH Faction Mod 🙂

tarrith Mods will slow your game down more than vanilla, simply because there's a lot more going on. Especially ABH, which uses many experimental features that haven't been fully optimised or don't entirely work too well, meaning that the game has to work harder and therefore your computer won't be able to run larger ships without struggling a bit.

tarrith

Ultranova Pity, because those two mods are fantastic fun. it would be nice to be able just right click on "parts" and delete them or move manage them into personal catagories.

Raufbold

tarrith Yeah - mod breaking has been the biggest issue actually. Mods take care of almost anything in this game that's not already there - roof turrets, firing distances, etc. But most of them break every so often and fixing them is really a pain,
Other than that, I would probably vouch for fighter/small craft hangars and some variety of control rooms with them being actually required (i.e. so that there would be a reason to go with a large control room vs small one). Other stuff we have mods for, really.

Can i just say how HOT the new sprites are?

dafeeeeeeeeeesh

Ooooooh i see you are interested in armor block chan.

Major concern with the new paid version continues to be with the extension of dead zones particularly with regards to thrusters/engines and shields. I'd like to buy the new paid version and explore the new single player mode(which I'm really hoping to see carrier features such as fighters that are perhaps custom built) but I'd like to bring in most of my older ships from what would be the free classic version of cosmoteer of which many use internal engine systems and compact shielding. I'd very like if these parts in particular could be considered against the extension of dead zones. Perhaps something along the lines of re-extending the dead zone for Ions or perhaps introducing different classes of engines of which a type for internal usage and another type with longer deadzones but increased speed over the former internal use engines could be considered? Regardless I'll likely try to go ahead and buy the steam version to support the game, just a bit concerned with the transfer of most older ship designs to the new cosmoteer.

Crimson_Reaper I need to balance what's best for the game long-term against keeping old ships compatible. I think that the paid release is probably the best time to introduce breaking changes, and I think these changes need to be made. My current plan is to include a mod which reverts the deadzone changes so that players who want to keep playing with their old ships can do that.

DraconisTheWyvern

Walt aw okay, that answers that.

DraconisTheWyvern

Walt sounds good, I will have to wait a bit to get it but its alright. would we be able to import old ships into the paid for version?

Super_Mapper

Walt Im sad cuz it won't be free. Im a cheap shit. Guess ill stick to warframe then.

Super_Mapper Well, if you translate 1/3 of the comoteer text and code to romanian then you will get it for free

Zetsubou_altist

Super_Mapper In your opinion, the game should be free?! How? Why?! But what about the payability of labor?! A person spends time and as if he should get compensation otherwise he goes into the negative. I think this is quite obvious. You didn't choose the game because it's free, did you? I think not. I can already imagine: a person went to work not to get money, but for free. I am sometimes surprised by this point of view. Although you know, I also start to feel sad when I go to the store and have no opportunity to pick up my goods for free. I feel sad.... (sarcasm).

Denzel_Demoneye

Well, this is one game i will try to buy even though i'm low on cash, for now i will stick to the classic

CecilPaladin

$20 is a steal for this game! Can I also recommend adding Boss Battle ships, something that might take an entire fleet to take out? Not saying we should be able to actually use those but perhaps at the end of the campaign, something like a final boss of sorts. Similar to the last boss of FTL, with a multi stage fight or something where you just gotta hammer it repeatedly.

Super_Mapper Just be careful to read the whole post. Doing 1/3 of a translation doesn't necessarily guarantee you a key.

Piilu

I´ve been following the cosmoteer game or ages, but only within this month actually made a forum account. Only thing I wanna say is that you are a great dev and I´ll be looking forward to the future, and also still translate the Estonian version, tho with the population of 1.3 mil, probably wont see much use and wont give me a free key, I´ll still finish the translation as I love giving help to games anyway I can, be it through simple modeling, music or any other means, slowly trying to weasel my way into the scene and maybe in the future find a job with it. But as of now, it looks like with Kroom you really don´t need any help in art... not like I could do better, hell nah, Kroom got me beat 1-99999, also I´m just getting into gaming music and you def don´t need an audio designer, so I´m doing my part with translations 😃 haha

I can't wait for the paid version. I will definitely sell my RPGMV awards to get it. And that'll be easy, 'cause RPGMV gives out awards for pretty much everything you do.

Walt Will the forums Still Be active after full release?
