  • Cosmoteer 0.14.0 - New Thrusters, Engine Rooms, and lots more!

Walt shoulda guessed

    14.0 stable has certainly motivated me to design new ships and convert old ones.

    ... new weapons are on its way to stirr it all up again!

    (... waiting for the option to disable collission avoidance ...)

    😉

    SpaceCat You can change it yourself in the coding lol

      ShakeshaBererund i like vanilla because i like multiplayer
      (i also like the taste of vanilla 😉 )

        MeraneraIt is vanilla lol..... its like an exploit.

          Walt What are formation orders?

            Amazing update. I like the new thruster system, and how it rewards not to use the boxed-in thruster clusters anymore.

              @Walt i cannot send you conection issue, because now MP works, but i have to complain a lot about moving system of ships, so lets go to screen 1 sumo, if you are loosing, just pusch out of RoD. (@SpaceCat you doubt if sumo is used a lot, yes it is)

              screen 2 when i gad badly damaged by RoD, please let me to go back to circle (check where are thrusters firing)

              screen 3+4 i realized what will that 100% sumo ship will do, and issued order for module in time, why is goes to desired destination by worst possible way?

              screen 5 - how could I this comment?
              Last but not least, can be setting stored somewhere separatelly, like ships are? Switching versions usually set setting to default.

                And, there is prove that big thrusters are completelly useless for attacking:
                1- enough thrusters to fly in any direction, but battle ground situation change every sec,

                image https://i.imgur.com/DdvOjoD.png
                so my ship was not able to decide which thrusters to fire to go

                2- so this situation was about 1,5 minute long, my ship on spot not moving at all, when enemy ship get destroyed, my ship start to move again , not happy :S

                  Mc2 I agree your ship should have been able to move straight forward by combining the forward thrusters with strafing thrusters. It used to be able to figure out how to do this, but maybe regressed. Should be pretty easy to reproduce, I'll try it later.

                    When a ship refuses to move even though it should be able try changing the flight direction, it can sometimes help.

                    • Mc2 replied to this.

                      Looking at it again, your ship didn't have enough thrust to right itself. I tried some things and it is still pretty smart about figuring out how to fly. Like Equalizer said, changing flight direction to NE or SW (ship-relative) might have worked.

                        Equalizer nop
                        Tryied out to change attack direction, nothing help in that battle :S Unfortunatelly I did not tryied to move without attack order 🙁
                        Nop similar like previous battle when my ships stop to move, but that battle there were thrusters only to two sides.

                        Looks like time to change thrusters to small.

                          This game is obviously a ROBLOX rip-off. I'm out.

                            Ok, this statement:

                            and this situation:

                              Walt honestly we need some new vanilla weapons

                                After a very pleasing official tourney i am quite happy with the new thrusters and new speed!

                                @Walt i think most players would agree that with faster ships (which again is a very good thing!) we are in need of even bigger ROD sizes.

                                looking forward to weaponry updates

                                regards

                                (PS.: permanent collision avoidance is a constant annoyance)

                                  SpaceCat Yes, RoD size, is terrible in FFA. In teams its more or les ok.
                                  By the way, i apreciate you style of fight, you are one from few who do not push out of RoD enemies even if you can.

                                  Check this screen,Ii was thre for ages, ship did not want to touch ships turned into junk. Even if i ged damage from crash into it, i wold like to turn and get back to fight, not involuntary be observer of rest of game.

                                    Mc2 if you put some thrusters in the middle you won't be stuck in that situation every time the side of your wall falls off. It will probably still be slow, but at least able to move.

                                    I think blowing up somebody's thrusters and leaving them stranded is a perfectly good way to win. Internet spaceships is not a gentleman's game where you take turns focusing weapons until one player has no more weapons.
