[PULSAR] Le sherif de l'espace: Preview dans le CPC 327

[Tamppus]

En gros, un vaisseau, 5 rôles qui peut être joué par des joueurs (ou des bots mais ce n'est pas fun). C'est un jeu d'exploration "bac à sable". On est à l'intérieur du vaisseau, on peut s'y promener et gérer ce qu'il y à gérer à l'intérieur. on peut explorer des stations ainsi que des planètes. Par contre pour les planètes il ne faut pas s'attendre à partir en vadrouille partout. On évolue dans une zone plus ou moins grande. L'objectif final si j'ai bien pigé c'est de trouvé la colonie perdu (ou bien autre chose selon le vaisseau que tu prends, car un vaisseau peut être affilé à une faction).

Je ne sais pas si je suis très clair mais j'ose espérer voir des canards mieux expliquer le délire

[Garven]

J'suis jamais très loin si il faut faire le pitaine incompétent !

Héhé ok merci pour ta réponse

Héhé ok merci pour ta réponse

Dans tout les cas je te conseil de le prendre si tu as des gens pour jouer. Y jouer seul ce n'est pas très fun. En plus sous son apparence le jeu est bien plus complexe et complet qu'il n'y parait !

[Tamppus]

Aller, une update qui fait du bien, des récompenses d'exploration (skin, uniforme), plus de loot à trouver dans certain endroit, une nouvelle façon de chercher des data pour trouver la colonie perdu (qui n'est pas encore implémenté). Un remanimant léger ou très lourd pour environ 45 planètes. L'exploration va être plus agréable !

Devlog #82:

Release Notes (Beta 25):

Preston, who normally accompanies me when we make devlogs was still pretty busy when it was...


Beta 25 is out now! This update focuses primarily on improving the planets currently in the game. We did this by adding additional details, more enemy variety, and more rewards for exploring. Some planets only needed a few touch ups while others have been heavily overhauled. Some planets and stations related to missions haven’t been changed yet, but we’ll be making a pass on them soon. Around 45 planets have been worked on for this update.

Part of the planet pass was adding additional rewards for exploring them, to do this we’ve added a few new pickup types that you can find planetside. We have Fuel - which adds 1 additional fuel capsule to your ship supply. We have Credsticks, which of course add credits to the ship account, we also have Experience pickups, which may be a little harder to find, these add 1 additional XP point to your crew experience!

This update also adds an additional method for acquiring a Lost Colony Data Fragment (reminder: the Lost Colony hasn’t been added yet). The new method involves exploring planets and discovering ancient Sylvassi structures known as “Cyphers”. Each of these ancient ruins contains a cryptic puzzle that the crew can work together to solve. We don’t want to give too many details away, but we tried to design a puzzle that could benefit from teamwork and communication while also being possible if you’re playing solo. The complexity of the puzzle increases based on the number of human players in the session.The Sylvassi Cypher Lab on your starmap is a great place to head to get started!

This update also contains unlockable uniforms! These new looks work the same way as the other cosmetic features but can help add a bit more character. Many of the uniforms allow color tweaks to further player customization!

Additionally, this update contains some changes to how starship turrets operate. They now use a heat-based system similar to how the hand-held weapons work. This allows crewmembers manning turrets to potentially fire their turrets faster than before, but with the added risk that if they fire too much too fast the turrets could overheat and be unusable for a short time. The turrets will cool faster if the engineer is using coolant. We believe this change allows for a bit more agency in the turret seat.

Additions
- New Item Pickup Type: Fuel - Picking up this fuel capsule will add 1 to your ship’s fuel supply.
- New Item Pickup Type: Experience - Picking this up will add 1 point to your crew’s experience.
- New Item Pickup Type: Credstick - Picking this up will add a handful of credits to your ship account.
- New Item Pickup Type: Credstick Pile - This pile of credsticks will add several hundred credits to your ship account.
-New Cosmetic Item Type: Uniform - You can now switch which uniform you wear. Faction restrictions have been removed and several new options are available. Some uniforms allow players to modify up to two of the uniform’s colors.
-New Uniform (Human Male and Female): C.U. Vice Admiral - Unlocked when 250 levels are earned playing as the Colonial Union faction.
-New Uniform (Human Male and Female): W.D. Vice Admiral - Unlocked when 250 levels are earned playing as the W.D. Corp.
-New Uniform (Human Male and Female): Lab Coat - Unlocked when 100 levels are earned playing as a Scientist.

-New Uniform (Human Female): Civilian Clothes with Robot Leg and Arm - Unlocked after earning 220 levels
-New Uniform (Robot): Body Type 2 - Unlocked after earning 100 levels.
-New Uniform (Sylvassi) Ancient Sylvassi Suit - Unlocked after completing the Sylvassi Cypher Lab Quest.
-New Quest Item: Ancient Sylvassi Tablet
-New Sector: Sylvassi Cypher Lab - Shown on the Starmap, this sector is the central research base in this galaxy for the study of Sylvassi Cyphers and ancient Sylvassi culture.
-New Steam Achievement: Cypher Master - Gained from completing the Sylvassi Cypher Mission.


Changes
-Ship turrets now generate heat when fired and can overheat. This works similarly to how guns work on foot. Using reactor coolant applies to all turrets onboard, causing them to cool down faster depending on the coolant pump speed. Turrets can overall fire faster than before but turret operators will need to consider the heat buildup over time. Turrets operating themselves will manage their heat automatically but won’t fire over 60% heat, limiting their usefulness compared to a manned turret’s damage potential.
-Some of the turrets found in the game have had their stats adjusted to compensate for the change mentioned above.
-Planet Pass - Many planets have undergone many changes, from optimizing the levels, adding additional details, new rewards, more enemy variety and more!

Fixes
-Fixed a collision issue found inside KOW’Z Retreat
-Fixed a visual issue found within KOW’Z Retreat
-Fixed a few texture seam issues found on the Forsaken Flagship and a toxic planet
-Fixed an exception found in the racing sectors
-Ships can no longer warp to invisible sectors (sectors that haven’t been unlocked yet)
-Fixed a bug regarding armor for the Destroyer, armor flaw and shutdown defense
-Fixed an issue with non-Captain players potentially having a minor performance issue due to the AI priorities system
-Fixed a syncing issue related to the Sandshark
-Fixed an issue regarding ship fires not spawning correctly

Thanks for your time!

Best,

Petit Up, encore une grosse MAJ, le jeu avance ! Et les fameuses datas ou fragments implémentés !

Hey everyone!

Beta 29 is out now! This might be one of the biggest updates we’ve done yet! This update focuses on a few big additions as well as several balance passes and quality of life features.

Lost Colony Data Fragments have been added to the game. These are required to get to the Lost Colony and can be gained through numerous ways. While the Lost Colony isn’t in the game yet, data fragments are the last feature we needed to add in order to introduce the Lost Colony content in an upcoming update. Many of the fragments grant passive effects to your ship, which we think add a nice bonus to acquiring them.

Two new places to acquire Lost Colony data fragments are the Auction found on the Spiderbarge in the Burrow, and the Highrollers Station which will contact crews and invite them to play Liar’s Dice at an exclusive station.

In order to add more variety to space combat, sectors now have a chance of including a “beacon”. These beacons create sector-wide modifiers to ship systems, and can either help or harm your ship. Some of the effects include thrust boosting, damage increases, armor increases and many others. Keep in mind that other ships also have these bonuses, and it’s possible to target and destroy these beacons if necessary (with no rep loss to do so).

This update also includes some big changes to Crew AI. AI can now charge programs, patrol sectors, and even launch nuclear devices! These effects don’t just apply to your crew, but enemy crews as well. The default AI priorities and behaviors have been greatly improved and updated. A few new additions include the Pibot being able to fly into Long Range Warp Stations, and the Engbot automatically lowering the shields when the Pibot enters a repair depot.

With the changes to crew AI, this means that enemy ships can launch nukes if they own them and are desperate enough. In order to help you manage this, the Scientist can now see if there is a nuke on board their ship through the sensor screen, and the Weapons Specialist now has a pulse laser affixed to many of the main turrets. This pulse laser can fire rapidly, allowing them to deal pinpoint damage to nukes and missiles.

We’ve also worked on new sector types including asteroid fields and faction battles. Faction battles are in-progress fights between a small number of ships and/or drones that can be approached in many different ways. Asteroid fields are cluttered with asteroids of various sizes requiring pilots to pay close attention to their surroundings to defeat enemy ships. Asteroids across the galaxy have also been updated with a new sharper look.

Ship combat has been tweaked to look and feel more impactful with new effects like hull debris flying off the ship and sparks flying on the bridge. Enemy ships are now more capable in ship combat, they are now able to warp out of difficult fights and call for backup with a distress signal. Ships can now also warp-in to provide backup to an enemy during a fight including both drones and powerful crewed ships!
