Suggestions / Re: Storm Needler's visual and audio are very underwhelming

« on: February 18, 2016, 08:08:10 AM »

IMHO, all three Needlers could use an SFX replacement. They all sound very weak, Storm Needler especially considering it's a giant gatling cannon. Being consistent with each other is good if they're meant to be firing same kind of projectiles with similar performance, rate of fire and mechanical/weapon accuracy being the distinctive differences, but to my ears the current tapping sound simply doesn't work for any of them, even the Light Needler.

I'm not sure if this is a known bug, but Ferrocannon projectiles act a little strangely when fired while your ship is very nearly or completely off-screen. Either the beam flickers by very quickly, or doesn't appear at all, depending on how far away the camera is from your ship. The weapon hits correctly and has the right travel time, short as it is, but something doesn't work quite right with the graphic. A base game issue, perhaps?

Edit: This seems to be specific to the Ferrocannon. It doesn't happen with Ferroguns, and after swapping their ranges and projectile speeds, it still only occurs with Ferrocannons.

Suggestions / Longer ship names

« on: December 16, 2015, 08:40:37 AM »

First off, many thanks to the dev team for an excellent game! Just bought Starsector and it's a lot better than I was expecting, even at this stage of development.

This is a small, insignificant thing that's probably not as easy to change as I imagine, but it'd be nice if the ship name length wasn't quite as limited as it currently is. As a fan of the Culture books, it bugs me a little that there's not enough room for (poor imitations of ) Culture-style ship names.
