V0.5 - Outlook - Space Combat
Added 2023-03-16 19:25:42 +0000 UTCHi,
today I started with the concept for the space combat. See mockup screen above. Main features
- combat needs to be won to proceed with a mission / travel
- movement is round based on a hex grid with items and obstacles
- There are shields and hull damage
- Once your shields are down, your systems can take a hit
- Live repair can be assigned to BB-2 usinf pods
- Loot can be acquired (enemy captains, missiles...)
- MC can have sidekick drones ( a tank + ranged attack type) on the field
Have to think a bit more about the mechanics, then I'll start some trial code. Ideas are welcome.
y.v.
P.S.: V0.4 Beta looks good. One more issue to fix tomorrow and VIP Early access 18.03. is green.

Actually - THIS space combat view is INTERESTING ... What happened to this?

2023-03-18 15:53:05 +0000 UTCMaybe some kind of space cop deputy thing where you can act as a legally sanctioned judge dread bounty hunter? Capture pirate captains, "rehabilitate" them, sentence them to some kind of work release program....profit? All perfectly legal and above board of course.

2023-03-17 11:30:51 +0000 UTCThere definitely will be a capture and rescue mission, not sure yet if i make that repatable.

2023-03-17 09:11:08 +0000 UTCI tend to "You barely escape" and some major damage you have to fix up. Or destruction unless you have a "Emergency Translocator" which pulls you back to station.

2023-03-17 09:10:28 +0000 UTCWhat happens if you lose a combat? Game over? Try again after repairing your ship?

2023-03-16 22:04:40 +0000 UTCAre you considering adding the possibility of our crew getting captured during combat forcing us to rescue or purchase them?
