Post Re: Comments about Pre-Alpha Video 2
It looks like it's coming along nicely. The ships are a little flat, but I can deal with that. Suns and planets are awesome, warps and the warp effect are uber, and the weapon effects are sweet, as well as space stations. The way debris boxes kind of unfold from the explosion of AI is cool, I don't know if that was intentional or not.

I have an issue with the coins. They remind me a lot of Super Mario 64. xD And the debris boxes confused me a little because they looked like Augmenters. (Can I see a screeny of a floating aug please?).

A few things I would like to see:
Augs
Asteroids
Userbases
UZ
UZ warp

And as a suggestion for those who want to change the color scheme of thier GUI, is there a way you can impliment the sliding color bar method that Windows Media Player and some First-Person Shooters use to allow personalization of the skin or crosshair?

It's quite amazing to see a game get recreated so quickly, cheers!

Everything looks great, I'm sure the UI and most of what looks odd in the video the developers have caught and it will all get fixed.

Couple things I'm going to mention,

1) I sure hope shots against shields of ships dont actually cloak the ship... Shooting a small ship looks like it gets cloaked in the place where the bullet hit.

2) Is it just me or is the Wormhole Warp sequence too long? I wouldn't want me screen to be blurred like that for so long after entering a new galaxy... not able to see what Green Battleship or gate camp or basils await you right there to kill you.. "And for that matter imagine going into a DG full of Battleships and not being able to see a (and thing for a couple of seconds.)

Other than that... i can't even start to list about what I like because it looks awesome. Flat ships I don't really care about... i mean.. a zebu is supposed to be flat.. its like an airplane or something like that.. light fighter.

So yeah, amazing job guys, keep up the good work! Hope to be able to test and find bugs sometime soon as well in open beta :)

This looks AWESOME. I think the wormholes should be a tad bigger

That's not a cloak. It's just a warping of the shields around the ship. On larger ships it's easier to see that it only occurs at the location of the impact and isn't meant to cover the whole ship. It was one of my favorite features.

I'm also impressed with the solution for attached bases. I know lots of people wondered how that would work in a 3D environment, and they look nice.

In several of those galaxies, the reflections from the sun made every ship the same color, and also very close to the color of the background. Will that be fairly common in many galaxies? I can see it being very tough to differentiate between different ships during a big battle.

I know that I know that I mean.. like.. it shouldn't do that... You should still be able to see the ship like normal.. but.. see the shields as well.

It's just awkward at the moment...

Maybe just change the wrapping of shields around the ship to blue and opacity of that at like 50%...

Looks great.

I'd like to say that I would have liked to see:

Iq' Bana
Copper
Base versus Base combat
Drones
UZ
Fighters launched from Capital ships

Will there be another video before the revealing?

make the ammo realy come out of the place were it should come out (not out of the window or somthing)

And please please Make some different player bases or give you the options to select colors of your base i am sick of seeing 30 gray dots in every gal.

and yes some ships look kinda flat

The options to control the guns on your bases when docked would be cool and they go back to auto turrets when undocked giving so in wars you can say who you attack (so you could attack the fighters first then the main ship)

Ships on fire maby have a fire trail (you can see from the outside the ship is on fire)

And i am wondering that in sol i only have 20 fps will my computer be able to play this game normaly (I am able to play full 3d games like css with 30fps so i dont realy understand why this simple 2d game as such a low fps)

Liked the general feeling of it. Very "spacy" and fluid movement.

Ships seem a bit bulbous, primarily the Panther. Could use some more straight/sharp edges.

ok...

1. the wormholes need to be bigger( meaning they are big circles then taper down)
2. i noticed in mad+s video that height now plays a part in ss. the goblins couldnt shoot or be shot at from the hotrod while above or below it. is that intentional?
3. there should be options to disable the shading of ships judging on the suns color. its just dang annoying.
4. please take out the zooming sound it drives me crazy.
5. something very disturbing, NO HEALTH BARS. that is a big problem.
6. all the ships exceopt the goblin need to be thicker. the capital ships look like little plastic platforms with sticks coming out.especially the pax ship. it literally looks like a paper boomerang painted black!
7. a way to color your ship would be nice. like you can change certain parts of the ship to different colors.
8.... BASES..... ARE .... TOOOOOOO .... FLAT... the one in mad+s video looked like a pancake! that needs to be changed.
9. finally, the ships look too cute. their too polished, they look like glass. make them look a little rougher!

other than that, everythings great. i noticed a problem with cargo looking exactly like augs. well, make the augs glow green!

Pointless to comment on the mad+ video, it doesnt have anything to do with SS2.

4. please take out the zooming sound it drives me crazy. Turn sound off?
5. something very disturbing, NO HEALTH BARS. that is a big problem. There are no health bars in real life wars. THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!

7. a way to color your ship would be nice. like you can change certain parts of the ship to different colors. NO.
8.... BASES..... ARE .... TOOOOOOO .... FLAT... the one in mad+s video looked like a pancake! that needs to be changed. scroll up....
9. finally, the ships look too cute. their too polished, they look like glass. make them look a little rougher! The ships look too cute in SS1 as well, yet you don't complain about that.

other than that, everythings great. i noticed a problem with cargo looking exactly like augs. well, make the augs glow green!

(I will be leaving out parts that have already been answered/are too irrelevant/pointless to answer)

1. Yeah I'd like to make them bigger, but this might give you the false idea that you can warp even though you can't because it looks like you're close to the wormhole. I'm not sure if the guys that decide the gameplay *cough* jeff *cough* will decide to make this distance larger or not.

4. That's been changed to a better sounding one already. We may even just include an option to disable it. If all else fails you can probably just delete the sound file to get rid of it.

5. The health bars are just disabled at the moment, they will be there in the final release.

6. We are touching up a few of those models. The ones that look really bad should be fixed by the time of release.

7. Not sure about ships, but I want to do this for user bases, we'll see how it goes.

9. Yeah sure I'll make them rougher and then everyone will complain that they look too rough. :P
