Viva Las Vegas...Jumpgate Style

Istanbul

Tritian, you ALWAYS exxagerate the matter!

It's not going to be skill-less... it's going to be skill-really-low!

No, skillless. You hit a landing tube the size of an old station, and if you miss, your ship slows down faster thanks to better breaks, and if you hit the station you bounce off.

So.... /win for everyone

Istanbul

nah, if a person really had no skillz they'd never make it to the docking tube from the simple fact that their ship wouldn't ever move cuz they wouldn't have the skill to move the mouse/js or press the throttle controls.

tha'd just be plain ol lazyiness. but anyway thanks Karash and IJ for great write ups. certainly nice to have something new to read when you come home from work.

i too would like to ask about the launching sequence...how much like BSG is it?

Aphelion

Good write up and interesting to read. Thanks for checking out the game Karash/Inj!

It was really fun to hang out with everyone, if only for just a bit. We'll show more again in San Fran next week as well. Maybe our next movie should show the launch sequence? I think its pretty good, but we still want to make it better.

I actually liked the launch Sequence. Perhaps i'm in the minority but a bit of immersive screen play is a good thing IMO.

I vote yeah for adding the launch to the vids

ELPIRATA

Would it be too much to ask for different launch sequences? I mean, many of us have 8,986 launches... Id imagine that seing the same launch sequence all over for that ammount of launches I would get really bored.

Also, it would be great to see different launch sequences as they would be based on ship. In BSG I dont remember EVER seen a Raptor launch thru one of them tubes, so in theory, a Nix and a Roc would not launch from the same place. Perhaps make Stations have different Launch areas, tubes for small craft and bigger exists for Tugs and such.

Well I consider the launch sequence a pretty minor thing overall...but it is rather short (time wise). It could definately be extended a few seconds. Also, having different launch sequences per station you are docked in would be cool...randomness is the spice of life.

I'm not sure "skill-less docking" happens at all stations.

This brings up an idea....

I don't know if the art for the unreg stations is done...but....

Make docking at faction stations easy like it is now, with their parking garage sized docking tubes. But in Unreg stations, hide the docking tubes, make em like 5 point turns to get in, with like no lighting, and spikes all over the place that kill you if you mess up.

Scorch, if you can... show a landing!
