I know it is still the beta (Its Awesome BTW), but I was curious if a particular visual was still going to be in the game? I was just watching the Kickstarter video and when they selected a unit to go to another object in space, it showed its flight path. Is the game going to still have this visual? Also, I know the mechanics are a work in progress but are you guys going to make the mechanics like it was in the Kickstarter video? What I mean by this is: in the video, you had to select a unit, than click it onto the space launcher platform (T1 platform?). From there it seemed that you had to select where it was going (which than showed its flight path). Afterwards it seemed that the transport picked-up the unit, placed it in the rocket, and launched the unit into orbit with the rocket. No matter which way its done it will be cool, I was curious if this was still the plan? It seemed that by having it set up this way you could not transport units back without having a space launcher platform on it (besides the unit cannon) which would make a player think twice before sending his commander to another planet, knowing he might not have a ride home until he builds it. It seemed that this would also help facilitate planetary invasions. You could build multiple platforms (T2 platforms?) which could be transport rockets that could store 50 units. With 20 platforms launching to another planet at the same time; well, now your talking about a 1,000 unit invasion force being dropped off on a planet all at once...lol...now that's an invasion. Just curious, if something like this was still the plan? Thanks guys.
I wouldn't do that, it can make you look pretty pretentious. Besides, it's only just now Monday morning for Uber, they tend to not be as active on the weekend for obvious reasons. Mike
Who cares? Why do you keep telling users to not bump a thread? With only 1 real section for PA it quite obvious why users bump a thread. To get it back on the first page.
I care. Because I have asked people to please not bump threads. If you want to expand on a point, that's great. Bumping with "bump" is almost as irritating as picture responses with nothing written to add to the conversation. Regarding the original question, we have a lot more visualizations planned for orbital orders, and current state. Not really much else to add to this thread at this point, so.. We have a number of other transport mechanisms planned, and how you'll load them in will depend on the unit and transport in question, whether the launcher, the unit cannon or something else.
Not a rule, just a "this irritates me a lot, and it tends to clutter up threads with a lot meaningless posts". Reason being - Jon, I and others really try hard to read as many of the threads and posts as possible. The more cluttered up they are, the less able we are to keep up. Which overall seems like a bad thing. Wouldn't you agree?
PRETENTIOUS????? In the past, I have made a few threads where no one has replied!!!! I had a question and I didn't want it to get buried, like the others. Your a squeaky wheel, why do you think you get grease?!?!?! I may not have over 1,000 meaningless posts but the number of posts I have is NOT indicative of my feelings for this game. Its B.S. when people like yourself BULLY people like me OFF the forums!!!!!! Wow, how pointless ... You know what, screw my question, I'll just stay off the forums if everyone is going to act like children!!! You have to scroll a bit more ... wow, your right, so annoying. If this irritates you, I would hate to know how you feel towards something of worth, like monetary/fiscal policy? Now this thread isn't filled with a lot of meaningless posts...your right garat, BULLYING comments were so much more productive.
Its hard to really go by that kickstarter video, even though that was the main focus and all we had to go on at the time, I believe it was just a visual representation to how some of the game mechanics and the game funtions would look like, I dont think it was ever set as a grain of salt if you get my meaning that the video was exactly how the game was going to end up like. The projectory of the things you talk about in your main OP there cpt. were I think just concepts to an idea, not final representation... I think they will definitely has something that is a lot more visual and working mechanicly better then thats what in the game already, but just have to play the waiting game untill the next REALLY major beta update, like a big one, one thats several 100MB in size or something... still working on a lot of stuff right now man...
CP - first, please chill. As I assume I'm one of those people you want reading your posts, I was explaining why I don't like bump posts. I'm sorry this hurt your feelings. I'm simply trying to suggest how to best get feedback and answers to your questions. If you want people at Uber to read posts, yours included, it is somewhat important to make it possible to FIND posts. Constant bumping doesn't achieve much was my point. You need to relax, please. And if this level of critique is very upsetting to you, perhaps you may want to take a step back for a while. Your original question was perfectly fine.
I've noticed you guys read a lot more of the threads than you reply to. I really see it reflected in builds/updates. I respect that way of focusing on what seems to be a priority and checking what bugs the last build added etc .
Clicked on the thread... read the post... imagined 1000 heavy bots falling from the sky in drop pods. ACTUALLY made my physically smile. You, fine sir, are a scholar and a gent!
Now that was a very calm and respectful reply. Nice. Respect +1 I think the guy just misunderstood your reply and overreacted . Hopefully he will learn as we all do (hopefully) from mistakes.
