In tutorial 3, I seem to have run up against a bug..
After the objective to make a factory, I get nothing.. so I proceeded to destroy everything on the map and then had to quit out.. oddly, when I quit out it said "Now, create another gene factory" maybe that was the next objective, but I never heard it during play.
in a Lan game against computers..
Running over to the Derelict raiders as Marines, I destroyed them then used reconstruct on Carcass.. it came back with the same lopsided model after an extended reanimation scene with purple circles surrounding it.. it was operating as a light fighter with 4 gene slots, the icon on the select screen was as a marine light fighter.
I'm enjoying the game.. trying it out, tinkering around..
But some mechanics are a hassle.
I Need to be able to reset the camera view.. I love the sights, but when repositioning the view with the mini map, it's frustrating the actual origin of view is right where I clicked, meaning I have to click quite a bit before what I actually want..
Perhaps centering the view at that location rather than putting the origin there..
Hope that makes sense.
Invasion...
I like the idea, but it's amazingly confusing, there's no countdown, no visible sign that it's working, or when you're being invaded, no sign which fighter is being invaded "Your Retribution is targeted for invasion" Which one? How do I stop it? I have the invasion gene on him, how do I use it to stop them?
They can steal my ships, but I wait several minutes and nothing happens when I try to invade..
Getting a new station especially.
I assume the NPC bases are there for a reason.. I try to steal the local defiance base, but nothing happens.. I set on Omniship on it for so long that the defiance has been reinforced once going on twice.
The Trade unions... how do I interact with them?
And what is the function of the Patrol?
I know this is a beta, and I feel priveleged to test it, I love the idea and the implementation is rather fun thus far, but a great deal needs to be clarified.
Even if the Trade union and Patrol functions aren't yet implemented, can you tell us of their future purpose?
Also.. any future differences between Light, Med, Battle Cruisers, etc?
So far all it seems is their HP amount and Gene slots.. is there an innate Armor?
Thanks for any answer and fixes to the bugs.
Look forward to invasion working :) I want to dominate the universe :)
