*A look of annoyance comes over Papa Ps face*

"Well shit, it seems like I miss everything around here: Docks exploding, you exploding, warehouses getting shot up, and now the bar getting assaulted... Looks like I need to leave the office more."

*Looking at Yiski*

"How are those brews comin'?"

*Papa P walks to the bar, pats Zill on the back, and orders a drink*

"Wow, your hands lookin' rough there, boy. Did I miss anything?"

"Yiski, get me one of your strongest boyo!"

*Papa P walks in, grabs seat at one of the assorted tables, his mechanical limbs let out a long hiss of exhaustion and he sighs loudly*

"It's no wonder that 'The Great One' died, this jobs flakin' hard, it'll bring a man to his grave early..."

*He sits forward as if an idea had struck him like lightning*

"I'll throw the job to one of those flakwits in management, I'll give him executive oversight of the company, but still maintain my authority and most importantly the paycheck. I can make sure they don't screw the thing up to bad and keep TGOs legacy goin'... HA! PERFECT!"

*He sits back in contemplation*

--Market--
*Papa P Emerges from the bank with a small entourage, seeing Yiski heading back to the saloon, he runs to catch up*

"YISKI!!"

*staggering as he finally caught up*

--en route to saloon--
"Feel free to use one of these sub-simian creatures to your disposal"

*Looking at one of the three men behind him*

"Jenkins make sure this man gets his every need attended to, with the full rank and authority of an executive member of the Dandy Lion Trading Co., I'm heading back to HQ to keep the scorned assholes from management at bay, I'll see ya later Yiski."

*Looking at Yiski*

"You got it, bud."

*Papa P looks at Bdrline*

"I come into more wealth than you could possibly imagine, divide my share amongst the group. Hell you could give it to Zill and send him to the local Harem to turn that frown upside down"

*Papa P pushes the door open, obviously highly agitated*

"I go away for two weeks, TWO, and I come back into a flakin' maelstorm of shit. The owner and CEO of Dandy Lions Trading Co. croaked while we were on out little 'vacation.' Little did I know that I was that old bastards sole beneficiary he left the entire company to me, I am now the chief share holder of arguably the largest trading company in the world. Not to mention the fact that some asshole blew that piece of shit dock up, had a couple over flow ships that have been obliterated"

*He goes to the bar after venting completely, he moved to the bar*

"Yiski, looks like the next round is on me. Who's the new girl?"

The point of toggling is to be able to turn it off and on, I would utilize it in such a way that the viewers are aware of lines of sight. If not toggling then a transparency control might work, but I think that would be a little hard for the devs to integrate.

The clouds on numerous occasions have just blinded me entirely, and I'm not saying we should be rid of clouds, instead I'm saying they should be able to be toggled on and off like the names. I do a lot of wide angle shots and try to capture all the action that is going on (within reason) so those issues are all magnified for me as A caster.

Feedback and Suggestions / Fixing Spectator Mode

« on: March 05, 2013, 10:46:58 pm »

As a caster, I find it hard to recorded decent quality games due to a few reasons:

1. Invisible walls
I Often times find that some times I'll get hitched on random corners or invisible walls on the corner of the map making it hard to make the footage seem fluid. A no clipping feature should be used for spectator mode.

2. Clouds
Holy Hannah, we just straight up need a feature to toggle clouds, it can be hard as hell to get a good angle on the action when clouds consistently get in the way or just hide the action entirely.

3. Names
When in spectator mode I think that when we choose to display names, they should be less intrusive on the ship model itself. I often times find that the names cover the ship completely, I'd like to leave it up for my viewers sake as it can sometimes be difficult to follow the action if you don't know which ship I'm talking about. However the names often cover up the ship and make things a lot less interesting.

Community Events / Questions about the Muse "We want to hear from you" video

« on: February 27, 2013, 10:16:57 am »

Feel free to move this if it's in the wrong place, it was a toss up between here and the help section.

-This is adressed mostly to Muse, but I wouldn't mind a bit of feedback from the community as well.

So as the title reads, I have a couple questions pertaining to my entry for said video. It is starting to run a bit long I'll have about 7 mins video total, 2 for introduction and 5 for gameplay, I feel as though cutting down the footage any further will detract from gameplay... You guys(muse) asked for gameplay from when you're executing a tactic or when things are getting intense, I have obtained the former. However I feel like if I limit the gameplay portion of the video to 2 mins I can't appropriately show: Intership banter, crew communication, and total ownage. With that being said I can give you guys the video, and you can edit it further AND/OR I can give you guys an hour and a half of unedited raw footage that you can strip down and use what you deem appropriate.

With that being said, do you guys want me to upload... I have absolutely s**t internet so I want to get it right the first time.

Also if there is anything else you want in the video now would be the time to tell me as I'm in editing stage, it wouldn't be any trouble at all to take any extra requests...

~Thanks

*Papa P walks over to the Gatling gun at the bow, rests his carbine to the side and sits down with his mechanical legs hung over the edge.*

*He takes a flask and cigar from his jacket and takes a swig and lights up*

*Looking at Zill*

"Can we try and prevent any further mutilation of our bodies... For just one journey, creator knows we can't take much more after the last trip."

*Looking into the distance*

 "I mean, the wenches love the brass, but I'd like to keep the important bits intact."

*He said gripping his package protectively*

*He lets out a hearty laugh*

The sound of hydraulics echos outside the door

*Papa P walks in, Carbine and repeater in tow.*

"Heard you boys were lookin' for something, you know you can always count on me."

*Walking over to the group, glancing at Sunderland*

"I didn't disappear for months earnin' nothin', You're looking at the proud new owner of a Dreadnaught, I'm currently discussing the details with the shipwright... I sure as hell won't be out gunned by raiders ever again. Best of all, the build time gives me plenty of time to go gallivantin' with the good ol' boys."
