Dev App Testing / Re: Dev App 1.4.0 (475)

« on: April 24, 2015, 03:31:30 pm »

I prefer the old hud, in part because it wasn't as sleek/modern looking. The round stamina bar seemed obtrusive, but maybe that's just because I'm not used to it. My class icon displayed larger than the hull health isn't the way I would have prioritized the information.

I'm also not sold on the stamina system. It doesn't seem to add much tactical depth, and doesn't mesh too nicely with the nice and simple equipment system.

That being said, seeing dev support this long after release is great! I mean only to be constructive.

Thank you! Those suggestions make a lot of sense, and they'll give us a great framework to use. I'll post back in a while once we figure out the specifics we like.

Funny- I was actually using hydrogen, kerosene, and the claw. I suppose that was a leftover from Pyramidion thinking. I'll give drogue chute a shot!

So, I played in the beta and recently returned to the game (I was SMD Ace, back in the day) with most of my old crew. We're loving the Mobula, which is still brand new to us. We're still trying to figure out a good medium-range build for it (we figure people usually build for long or short, giving us a kind of advantage, maybe?).

So far we have left-top artemis, left-bottom carronade, middle hades, right-bottom gatling, right-top mortar.

We ran the same weapons (except the carronade) with the Pyramidion and liked them, but the ship wasn't really working out for us. The gunner has lesmok, greased, and burst, so he can run the 3 top guns well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Gameplay / Re: 1.4.0 Pyra. Too much stick?

I speak from limited experience, but how about this- roll back 1.4.0 changes, but reduce turning acceleration or maximum rate? I like the idea of a tanky but slow-turning charger.

Also, making the main engine not repairable from the bottom would make the ship a little harder to crew, and make pilot's tools a bit harder to rely on. How does that sound?
