Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Wanted posters

« on: June 08, 2013, 11:02:45 am »

This would actually be really great to have some way in game. I feel like at the very least there should be something like that right on the main menu where you can click a 'bounty' button and that wanted poster comes up. Just so you know who is the current bounty without going in game.

Thanks for accepting me in the group Shink. I'll do my best to be at events and whatever chaos we decide to bring about. Probably need a wee bit more practice however before anything major. Thanks again however, and I'll see you all around.

I invite everyone to check out the steam group

Checking out the group and it looks great but I can't join into it without an invite. There a way to get that right now or do I have to play around a bit more before that happens?

I just wanted to fly a few rounds with yea to see of the glove fits. I guess timing is against us. If you happen to see me or Shink on, join up and we'll get that invite sorted out. We do it with everyone, heh.

Also, Shink's fault.

Yep it's no problem, as I believe that was the problem. I should be able to finally get one tonight, it's just with school finishing up and work it's a little hard.

About a month ago, I saw a video that was made by the youtuber that goes by the name of criken. The video itself was amazingly funny, but I also really liked how the game looked. I bought it with a couple friends and even though they essentially have left it, I've stay addicted to the game since. here's the link to the video if anyone wants to see it.

General Discussion / Re: Fellow Ex-Gunners Of Icarus Lend Me Your Ears!

« on: June 07, 2013, 08:11:57 am »

I for one don't see why other captains hate gunners so much. I've seen my fair share of captains who will tell their gunners to go engineer and that only want an all engineer ship. Honestly I believe that without one gunner, you are severely crippling the effectiveness of your ship. Sure an engineer can have one specialty round with them, but for many guns you need more than one ammo type in order to be effective. Even for a simple gatling gun, sure heavy rounds will give you extra accuracy, but once your in closer range you have nothing you can do in order to increase your effectiveness. You need another ammo type such as burst or charged in order to do that extra bit of damage. Also from my standpoint, ships that use 3 engineers on them lose more often and get less kills than ships with a 2-1 team.

Did this out for you quickly, as I like being able to help those who need it. Quite an opening survey too when you really think about it. Anyway, hope your thesis comes out great!

Gameplay / Re: Achievement system flaw

« on: June 06, 2013, 09:01:20 am »

If anything, my only complaint is about the map specific achievements like the dunes one being a bit too specific. Ramming in dunes yeeee.

I'll admit that's a little bit annoying as well, but I can understand it as being similar to specific ship achievements. It's to get people playing on the different maps instead of every other game being played on dunes. To be entirely honest, I wouldn't have gotten off dunes if it wasn't for an achievement. Now I enjoy many of the maps that were created for the game.

Feedback and Suggestions / Easy Captain Switching

« on: June 05, 2013, 10:06:14 pm »

Now I'm not sure if this has been recommended before or not, but I feel like an easy way to switch the role of captain around would be nice. I've just noticed that sometimes on more populated servers, it can be a little hard and awkward trying to move the captain seat around between two people. Sometimes, when someone leaves the spot a random immediately takes it leaving the person no place to go as he cant return to his ship. Perhaps like a small transfer captain button next to people's names on your ship would be great. Click to switch your two spots and you're done.

I think I might try at this to see how it goes. If you wouldn't mind just having my name down as like a backup entry that would actually be great. Like I don't want to boot anyone out that really wants to get in on this but I feel like the experience would be fun.

I'm quite interested in possibly joining in this ordeal, but I am slightly confused on how the 'cog' system works. Is there any type of diagram or image that better explains this?

Well, what can I really say here.. I've really recently started up playing the game, and I'm pretty much brand new to the forums as of today. In game, I've been hitting it up as a pilot with my main ship being the pyra (don't hate) with my secondary being a blenderfish. I don't really have a crew as I came into this game by myself, but usually I am able to pull together some randoms and get some kills on the board. My strategy is the get in fast, rip off their armour and kiss ram hit them until they split in two. Other than that, I appreciate the welcome I've gotten so far in the community, and I can't wait to continue to fly with everyone here.
