October Vault is up!

from StarControl Forums

Time for some new chatter.

Edit:   1) Points for the SC2 map.  I used to spend hours looking at it.  Amazing bit of art.  Liking where you are going with the Origins map.

2) Good has won the day.  I agree 100% with the outcome of the super melee wars.  It keeps the feel of the original game.  With all the changes that are being made it's nice to have something connecting this all back to the original series.

3) Ships are looking good.  Having the weapons simple is good.  You can grab any ship and do something with it, but you can spend some time and learn to use it effectively I'm really happy you kept the cruiser but updated it. 

4) Fun >> on time.   No question.  I'll accept delays over a half-@#$ feature any day of the week.

Lol, Hunam - in what universe is Xraki not 2-syllable?

XRAKI is the plural form of XRAK?

Also, CB, I am very disappointed in you. I saw that you posted and expected to see a 5 page dissertation. Instead, I only see 3 lines. You need to step up your game if you want to win those meaningless internet points.

LOL! I'm on paternity leave until next Monday to help my wife with the baby full-time till she recovers. 

Once I'm back at work though? I'll be "working" at unraveling the mysteries of the October update, 8 hours a day. 

Also, if my boss is somehow a founder, I'm juuuuust kidding!

I read it as Axe-Ruh-Key. So it's 3 for me. Let me deceive myself so I don't live in a "kindergarten" universe where all the races are 2-syllable ones.

I'm new to Star Control so I have a different view point that may be helpful.

As I look at the images of the Alien races and ships I am reminded of the backlash Master of Orion remake received in regards to humour(Especially News Desk).

I really hope Stardock nail the writing.

 

I liked the Sound track though I would need to see it incorporated into the games visuals to see how they fit.

 

I think it's a good idea to have a huge Universe with many many side quests.Many of us still want to be a Capt. Kirk or a Jack O'Neil.

 

I like the look of the maps(Is the second pic a zoomed in section of one of the circled stars in pic 1?) How do they look with 21:9 monitors,Multiscreen,Ultra High Resolution?

I guess it's time for me to download Ur-Quan Masters HD and get more knowledge about what your building here.

^ You will not regret diving into Ur-Quan Masters! It's an adventure of epic proportions!! Maybe not as epic as Mass Effect, but still.

While slightly disappointed in the outcome of the super melee being 1 on 1 ship combat instead of fleet vs fleet, I understand the reasoning behind it. That said, I really hope it's just one planned mode for the single player story.

I really really want to see what plans are for online multiplayer outside of super melee (1 on 1 deathmatch). I want to see fleet vs fleet engagements, soccer style arenas (rocket league), territory capture point maps, the standard type of faire you see in most FPS games but played from a top down space shooter.

One of the biggest reasons I joined the founders program was because of an article that mentioned all these possibilities, even arenas like MOBA were mentioned, and as huge fan of Star Control and later Subspace, Cosmic RIft and Infantry, I haven't seen anything in the last few months of vault releases that are addressing what online multiplayer will be like, because that's where I want to spend the majority of my time playing. I will be severely disappointed if this game launches with nothing but Super Melee.

Cosmic Rift and Infantry... now that is some serious Subspace loyalty!  You really are a fan of these games to have actually bothered playing Infantry, haha:-)

I am hoping that modders add at least base defense, capture the flag, and space hockey.  I would help with that if anyone wanted to do it, especially space hockey.
