Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Save/Load UI, Autosave, Intel Map Markers, and More (04/10/24)
The new Sachumodo. Still a work in progress, both sprite and ship, but... this is pretty much the final shape.
The Robberfly-class Corvette, a 3fp frigate without a shield, fast and with a highly efficient flare launcher.
) I want! <3Are you kidding me? Look at my date of registration, will you...
Hey all,
today I'm off to play Axis and Allies with a few mates. (I won't be replying to any threads later)
For those of you who haven't played it, it's basically a TBS board game sit in WWII, starting in roughly 1942. (some versions start earlier and others start later) You can play as UK, Russia, America (Allies) or Germany, Japan (Axis) there are other factions in other games (i.e., when the Pacific and European boards come together, you get the ANZACs, Chinese, Italians and French)
All in all, I find it quite fun, albeit perplexing at times.
People who have played it before, who's your favorite country? WHat's a good strategy, and what's complete rubbish? (never build 2 battleships as Russia. It doesn't end well.)
Well, i see many of my ships as "prices" for fighting the Valkyrians, you can buy all the Mk I versions, but if you want their stronger models, you have to capture them pretty much.. i consider that a decent reward to the player, fight a strong faction = get rewarded.
You don't, the Shivans use masses of Sathanas juggernauts to push stars into supernova.Quote125 GT (Gigatons of TNT)
explosion power a bit idiotic, 4 mega tonnes able to alter our planet orbit - eg kill entire earth population, 125gt will shatter planet.
how you imagine to use such force against small space ships? press x to win?
And that was to destroy a single ship. But hey in freespace 2 bombers were used to destroy those beam turrets AND that ships is slow as ****. It isnt a fighter jet in terms of turning or acceleration. You could just out manouver it and evade those beams by attacking from the sides or the rear... but since you have AI controlling your other ships they will probably attack it head on. Erf, tier 2 sux donkey balls.
More enclosed maps just emphasise how horribly imbalanced the homing AoE torpedoes are.
Game needs some balancing work doing to it.
Edit2: Wait for the shivans to be done. Atleast the SJ sathanas... it hurts.
Might be a bit OP. XD
When I click that link i'm suddenly reminded of reapers...
No, i must fly the helos. Also, there'll be a limit to veichle amoint (although there'll be enough for you guys not to worry)
It really does handle well, I think its brilliant. Add me on steam, sproginator66. We can all go on together
