Random Battle
« on: February 04, 2012, 07:51:51 AM »

Im getting slightly annoyed with only having the Conquest class for my random battles.
Why not make the game choose between all of the capital ships? (Astral-carrier, Onslaught etc)

Im thinking this would add some nice variety and change of tactics into the game. I find myself using the same tactic over and over again because of that Conquest.

Im also seeing how not all the ships are implemented into the Random Battles. Like the Appoge for example. I would love to see all the ships being put in there for players to use.

You can fly any ship above fighter, simple click on it on the tactical map and transfer command also you don't have to deploy the conquest. Although i do agree with this suggestion should be true random.

I was more thinking about Fractal redoing the Randoms to feature the rest of the ships and different capitals. But thanks for answering.

To be honest, the random mission was kind of an afterthought. I'd like to add a more configurable custom mission at some point, but for now, all my focus is on the campaign.

That makes me sad :( Random missions are basically the only missions i play after a few tries at the "impossible" missions (Whom i ragequit after a while) But that will all probably go away when 0.5 comes out :)

When 0.5a comes out it think the missions will become more of a tasting plate, and a trial ground, for modifying your fleet to become more effective. Especially since it'd be pretty easy to make a mod that has your fleet available and then using some other mods being able to modify your ships to see how your fleet would fair against an onslaught onrush for example.

Have to remember it is still Alpha!  :) But I do agree that it would be a nice change, I feel your pain with the Impossible missions (especially Nothing Personal)
