Early Access version 112

[InterAction_studios]

MAIN CHANGES

Customizable spawn shields, so you can now impress all your friends (well, unless they have “show other hardpoints” turned off). And are they stackable? Why, yes, they are! Also, there most likely will be a small preview in the Galactic Store for these types of items, but sadly did not make it in time for this update.

Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. Note that your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (send it to me in a private message).

COMPATIBILITY

You will lose:

• any mid-mission progress
• your language selection

Well here we go again

First. (First to say first)

[PlasmaX]

The Weakest Link/ The Strongest Link: Can the barriers disappear after the chickens are killed?

[Starbrockle]

Fifth.

@PlasmaX

The Weakest Link/ The Strongest Link: Can the barriers disappear after the chickens are killed?

Also, didn’t you already suggest this in the previous version? Not to mention people said about IA denying it.

[Baron]

Early Access version 111

Please don’t do this because when we do this mission remember we are still in space, not in the planet’s atmosphere, and the universe can’t have enough air to catch fire like this. I suggest that since inferno is close to the sun, the sun there (hot environment) will be weaker than when it is hot and heavy (mission in the sun) @Baron Have you ever heard that there is no air in space to catch fire? If this is an idea in an atmospheric mission like Chapter 4, Chapter 6, Chapter 8, and Chapter 11 …

Sir. this is a science-fiction game. you can’t just suggest removing it because there is “no air in space”.
and if we go by your logic we should find alternative enemies to fight instead of chickens since they can’t fly in space in reality and other things. Do NOT get this game to a point close to reality. otherwise it would no longer be fun.

Also have you known that fire can be formed by combination between helium and hydrogen molecules? this is how stars are formed.

@PlasmaX

The Weakest Link/ The Strongest Link: Can the barriers disappear after the chickens are killed?

mate I said this going to be denied because I suggested something similar to it.

[PlasmaX]

@Baron

I suggested something similar to it.

Didnt know.

[PlasmaX]

Idea: When you compare someone to yourself their shield will be seen.

[Marcus_M1]

The shield didn’t protect the VF 100%

There are still some gap from the VF Is outside the shield
Also same as the Muller/BX Ship with the Ring shield

And can the Comet Shield has a better disapper animation? Insted from fading away

[OneWingLunarian]

a few quick suggestions:

1: add an option to stop the shield from fading out during customization

2: add sorting options for hardpoints

3: an option to make a hardpoint cycle the color spectrum (CHL only)

[Mzdziungwa]

1 option would definitely come in handy

I know, but THIS IS a planet, not a STAR. Chickens flying in space are all too familiar to us but this thing should not be included, at least for space missions, it looks terrible.

@Baron

Do NOT get this game to a point close to reality. otherwise it would no longer be fun.

Oh, I’ve done a lot in the past and will continue

[hieudang]

why the corona shield appear in last 1second

[Baron]

@MoonKnight

but THIS IS a planet, not a STAR. Chickens flying in space are all too familiar to us

And? This is still a science fiction game, meaning that everything that is against science can be included in this game.

@MoonKnight

but this thing should not be included, at least for space missions, it looks terrible.

You are not IA to decide what should be included and what shouldn’t.

@MoonKnight

Oh, I’ve done a lot in the past and will continue

Expect a crazy amount of "NO"s coming your way then.

[MinhLongBacon]

i’m not going to talk about the science but in reality when you compare these two pictures the sun might not even be as hot as an inferno planet.

[Starbrockle]

@MinhLongBacon

i’m not going to talk about the science but in reality when you compare these two pictures the sun might not even be as hot as an inferno planet.

So, maybe for missions beside suns, IA could combine the corona and flame effects together?

[Meowinus]

@InterAction_studios
Can you put the players layer above the flaming effect? Also decrease the opacity of this effect a bit?

[Baron]

@MinhLongBacon

i’m not going to talk about the science but in reality when you compare these two pictures the sun might not even be as hot as an inferno planet.

Do I have to shout at you guys just to understand THAT THIS IS A DAMN SCIENCE FICTION GAME. EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE AGAINST LOGIC FOR THE SAKE OF THIS. You can’t just use 2 normal pictures to defeat the purpose of the game. Understand this because I am not going to repeat it again. if you want this game to be with logic, then you are gonna destroy the fun of it.

@Starbrockle

So, maybe for missions beside suns, IA could combine the corona and flame effects together?

Someone suggested the opposite and it got accepted by many people. Also when I suggested this back in 110 I mentioned it is only for inferno planets for diversification.
