ziiip 1 Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) So, anyone else here bought this ROUGH baby? :D I crash at the end of the first round, but the devs promise a bigger patch tomorrow. In the meanwhile, I drool at the ships in the ship designer. Shit jpg preview pics. Very nice big png pics. :D http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4168/40923595.png http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/6845/92737190.png http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/8803/12533017.png http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/7044/74466460.png http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/4539/25641083.png http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7946/46957111.png http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/3496/88052109.png http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/5791/75932860.png http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/621/18268707.png http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/2485/29510443.png http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/1875/92785758.png http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/7849/53045704.png http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3405/60013600.png Edited October 30, 2011 by ziiip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maio 293 Posted November 1, 2011 They said they will release patches for it weekly and apologizied for the state the game is in. Better then nothing I say, but still WTF Paradox??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STALKERGB 6 Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) I got the game too (had pre-ordered on steam) to be honest I expected some problems, in a similar vein to the first SOTS but it has been a bit worse than I thought! Haven't tried since monday's patch but was getting around 20 turns before a crash. Main issue is not knowing what half the things are meant to do, the lack of tooltips makes your job a lot harder. I mean, obviously there are a number of things that are similar to the first SOTS so you get the idea of what they do but any new parts it's a quick trip to the forums. That said, the hours I have been putting into it have been getting increasingly more fun (as I work out what stuff does lol) so I'm really looking forward to when it's patched up and "finished" :) The SOTS Wiki that has been set up is a pretty decent source of info too...

ziiip 1 Posted November 1, 2011 Today I got the chance to play to game for the first time after a smart guy on the paradox forum figured out why save/autosave was crashing my game. :D Combat was fun, but there are some weird thing though. For example there was a system which had a small asteroid resembling defense station that I had to search for, which took like 6 minutes. It blasted off the engine of my beautiful Liir cruiser so it couldnt move at all, but the combat time ended. Since I didnt move my fleet, I had the same battle in the next turn, but my damaged cruiser could fly again. :D Ships are pretty beefy as well, or my guns were puny, cause it took like 4 mins for 5 of my cruisers to blast 2 hostile ones. Also, is it possible to prevent a fleet from automatically going back to the planet from which it was sent on a mission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STALKERGB 6 Posted November 2, 2011 Also, is it possible to prevent a fleet from automatically going back to the planet from which it was sent on a mission? I don't think it is, I've just been making sure I relocate fleets as close as I can to where I want them to go to minimize travel time. Does seem a bit annoying having to have them come all the way back (and seemingly no way to change orders half way through a mission). Managed to play quite a lot yesterday as the Tarkas, like you say ziiip, combat is pretty fun, there is still LOADS that Kerberos plan on adding/fixing though. Have you been able to repair your ships at all? After a battle with the Suul'ka mine are pretty damaged but I can't seem to get them to repair at one of my planets... EDIT: Been spending waaaaaay too long in the ship designer :) I love it! Oh and there is meant to be a patch today, with a bigger one coming on friday...

ziiip 1 Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) I havent played a lot, but maybe you need to add a repair ship to your fleet? Edit: there is a repair dialog right next to the fleet manager. ;) Also, I hope they will allow you in a patch to move your fleets wherever you want with no reason. Here's a thread with some valid ideas. http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?568361-Least-favorite-design-decisions Also, it would be cool if I could give a fleet a mission while its moving in between planets so I dont have to waste any turn. Ships could have some more mass as well :D Edit: With patch 17507, my ships (and possible the opponents' ships no longer spawn in real time combat). Does this happen to you? http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9616/notreallycombatlol2.png http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/2553/notreallycombatlolg.png Edited November 3, 2011 by ziiip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does this happen to you? http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9616/notreallycombatlol2.png http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/2553/notreallycombatlolg.png Ah yeah I was reading that you need to select/click on your fleet before a battle otherwise they don't appear during combat. Hopefully the patch today will be a big step in the right direction. Since Wednesday, the stations and upgrading them has been more broken for me lol Edit: there is a repair dialog right next to the fleet manager. Ah haven't noticed that, will take a look, cheers :) Also, it doesn't seem to be coded in yet but apparently you will be able to select multiple destinations for missions like patrol (and hopefully survey) which would speed the process up a bit. EDIT: Apparently the update has just gone live (although nothing happening after I restarted steam yet). Lets see what it's fixed!

ziiip 1 Posted November 4, 2011 Atm I feel like I shouldnt bother playing until they update the AI and the fleet movemement/order possibilities on the star map. :icon_neutral: I am sure the game will reach its intended state in 1 or 2 month though. :) Still, if you are interested in a multiplayer match then let me know.

STALKERGB 6 Posted November 4, 2011 Still, if you are interested in a multiplayer match then let me know. Yeah would be up for that once they have got everything working nicely :) I think you are right that it's gonna take a month or two before it's the awesome game the first is :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
