^ 5% to weapon dmg was given just as an example. Besides, the random events are there to fill the time gaps of your interstellar travel. Eye-candy art, somewhat meaningful choice can help to make every play-through unique and memorable. They aren't meant to be as frequent as you think though. They are there to make it feel like even when you're flying through space, there's stuff going on on your ship and around your immediate vicinity. It's just a little immersion technique t

^ I'm not sure about earthquakes. I mean what damage can an earthquake possibly do to a hover vehicle?.. Radiation can't possibly be stronger on the planet surface than in space or can it? Fire as in volcanoes, eruptions, lava makes sense. Lightning as in storms and high winds (which is another factor that can affect the lander movement behavior), sure. Chemical composition of the atmosphere? Can't really affect the lander or can it?

Reply to Random events, stock items and etc. in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Yes, yes and yes. Instead of incremental stat change loot that was suggested earlier, having a random events system would be fantabulous. I'd prefer the random events to have a 2-3 options though. Negative, positive and neutral events are all fun and would liven up the universe greatly. One of Civ V mods has them and they are super fun. Ex.: Engineers discovered a new way to rout power to one of your ships subsystems. Which one

Too late to change? Who said you can make them change anything at all? Unless it's a total off the wall design decision that's rejected by 90% of the founders and causes a massive uproar in a form of hate/bash threads, you're not gonna make them change a thing. And the planet art isn't even close to being rejected. Sure, poll'd be nice. Here it is: <span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: x

^ You haven't even seen the in-game design. What are you gonna poll, an idea? Besides, this forum doesn't even have a built-in poll system as far as I explored, unfortunately . I dunno how viable it'd be to use strawpoll.me ... Also, Founders' opinion will always be different from the opinion of an average user, 'cause of dedication and commitment.

@JudgeYohance HOMM2 looks tons better than HOMM3 even with the lower resolution. @Precursors_TiLT You haven't seen anything but a ONE measly CONCEPT picture. SD isn't revealing anything else, 'cause they're either sure their planets look fantabulous and everyone's gonna drool over them OR they give less care for anyone's opinion and will make it per their design anyway. I don't think discussing it further is gonna help anyone

Reply to Ideas for scanning planets. in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

It'd be nice to not have to press the scan button. Auto-scan with nice graphics effect triggered by planet proximity would be perfect IMO. If we'll have the planet features hidden before scanning then during the scan the exaggerated features can be revealed in a nice graphic effect manner (like mountains growing out of the planet surface taking their shape, trees bloom into their full tiny 3D model glory etc.) That might solve the problem of visited/unvisited planets visually. No need

Reply to Genre of Star Control in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

SC2 was RP and action? There's not nearly enough RP elements to call it RP. It's an obvious adventure/action hybrid. That's exactly what I expect the new SC to be. None of that leveling up and crafting nonsense. XD

Reply to "Little things" that we expect in Founders Starbase StarControl Forums

Another thing I expect is alien lore at least as deep as SC2. Preferably deeper. Dogar & Kazon and Ilwrath rituals were pretty exciting to get to know about. So was pretty much every other alien history. I expect to land on many destroyed planets, explore its desolate ruins, find VI that'll narrate what, when and how it happened there, leave wonder-struck. That kinda deal...
