Welcome aboard !
Though Starfarer is awesome, particularly for its alpha state, I don't think it's ready for a huge buzz. The campaign needs to be in before at least.

« on: June 17, 2011, 02:08:12 AM »That is not tactical decision, thats reflexes, having to move your mouse quickly enought to move the shield from say, the left where an ship was firing at you, to the back, to avoid incomming bomber fire, all in less than a second. Nothing tactical there, that's pure action & reflexes.
Reflexes? My grandfather has better reflexes than it is needed to play this game :p
Joke aside, i don't think we'll agree here. You want the battles to be slower, and I want it to stay as it is

Woah. I am afraid by your answer. I love the current pace of the battles, i don't think they need to get slower. To the OP, i think you're looking for a RTS game, send your troops and enjoy the show.
As for me, and I think many Starfarer's fans here will agree with me, I love to be part of the action, controlling my ship and making tactical decisions, like the orientation of the shield as you said.

No offense, but I am not sure it would be a good idea. The warroom is already there for that purpose.It would take some space on the screen, and we need as much visibility as we can take.

Suggestions / Shield types
« on: May 31, 2011, 05:46:05 AM »
I think it would be interesting to be able to mount different types of shield on your ships.
For example :
Reflective shield : deflect beams in another direction, almost no flux generated but 200% more damage taken from high explosives.
Maybe it could be done for ship's armor too like this : (taken from Mechwarrior :p )
Reactive armor : -50% damage taken from high explosive, +50% taken from kinetic and normal damage from energy.
What do you think?

In a way, i consider Starfarer to be kind of Mechwarrior in space in terms of gameplay and possibilities

Did you find any clue on how to do that right now?

Suggestions / Scripted events
« on: May 30, 2011, 08:10:50 AM »
Hey guys
I'd like to talk with you about something i just thought. Right now the missions are feeling like they are just custom battles where you couldn't set the options, with a short story explaining why we have these ships and why the enemy has those, basically.
Is it planned to introduce scripted events during campaign missions/battles, such as enemy reinforcements coming out from hyperspace, allied ships suddendly exploding because of spy sabotage, etc... ?
