Walt Circles are just the easiest.

Circles are also the most universal to any ship shape - all other shapes would match some ships better but other ships much worse!

SpaceCat

Equalizer Of course, if you ask me any case where the player is being overridden it is a bug

... and thus we need an override for collision avoidance.

A simple on/off switch.

Rly wonder by now why to jump through all that hoops on this subject instead?

SpaceCat Well, you are not alone who get crazy by anticolision, mor of us, more chance anticolision will be changed.

@Walt

He wrote this in game, just few sec before end ( there was that counter) and i saw his message as well.
Maybe we all become members of one team after game finish, like with that nice ships previews.

Ah yeah, that'd happen because everyone gets switched to the "observer" team. I'll look into fixing it.

Mc2

Walt ok, will be solved than.

SpaceCat Not only circles, we need ovals too.

Circles are also the most universal to any ship shape

It is true that lot of designs are silpe boxes or triangles, but im not sure about this statement.

circles are just easiest to calculate, that is reason for them, but from designes i see, is oval most common bounding shape to be used, and ouyr great ships are not exception.

Mc2 Well, you are not alone who get crazy by anticolision

... actually i'm not the most annoyed person about the anti collision because i know how to override it - and many other players do not - so i can exploit that :-P

But yeah a game should not be about exploiting the game-engine ... but i guess that is what comes with early access ...

"Exploitability" is a good marker for balancing i guess.

I write it here because I do not remember where was discussion about different winning conditions in FFA.
Maybe at least, in FFA, ships which are not able to deal any damage by weapons, can be automatically eliminated from game and lost all their health, this prevent situation which I was withnessing, description bellow .

One player killed TheOneDaOne, than he damaged Flag_Master, than he killed grandpa grape and than he deal last one (sorry I took screen in haste its not full), alone without any help, and during fights Flag_Master flight in middle in circle and staying there avoided any fights, when circle disapear, he had few sec advantage of not taking damage from RoD and win, that was not nice. This time Flag_Master had at least one weapon, ussualy what I see are just remaining thrusters and CR of ex rail ship what win game.

because i know how to override it

But it is not so easy to realize that you are in anticolision trap.

but I takes bunch of time like in picture below, I destroyed one ship, but other one approaching me from back I tried to turn and attack just by attack order, I realized its due to anticolision that my ship do not react to late,and before set correct order, he launched his salvo, btw withnout anticolison there was enough time to turn and face him :S (screen taken win time I was trying to issue different attack angles after canceling order to attack approaching flanker)

Walt I found a little bug that I've never seen before but was probably in the game long before this update:

(the select box go at weird angles when you make it 1 pixel thick and have the camera rotated)

LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE

(I'll check it out, thanks.)

Walt

thatPolarBear You'll be pleased to know that the next update will fix this truly game-destroying bug.
