Heh thought we made it pretty clear somewhere that my video wasnt at all the game at all xD

Just meant for my own educational purposes, to make a promotional video for MAD+.. and hey it promoted Star Sonata in my school pretty well too


Anyways...


Actually had this question for a while, is there going to be some sort of Music Player ingame where we can switch music ourselves? Any thoughts behind doing that later on if not originally planning on it?

Love the video (been checking for this post every day). Also the website looks nice too. Love the background .

Btw will SS2 be now called "Star Sonata 2 - Reign of Order" ?
or
"Star Sonata 2 - Hamster of Order"

Also lasers like the jiji,Emp Ray,Mining lasers, Venu Ray, ambro lasers and all, will they fire randomly at a target in ss2 (not in straight lines like on SS1).
E.g. like the same effect the Faranji Gatling Laser has?

P.S. Well done SS team keep up the good work

might i suggest something? if at all possible could you implement something to allow players to make their own coloring/patterning schemes for bases?

for instance one team might want a color scheme based on their flag, or camo...ect.. we also need the new graphic for playerbases, and even special graphics for bana,dement,paxian ect kits.

and i thought the degree that the ship's color changed in lavanite (am i the only one who recognized that galaxy?) was a bit harsh.. true the light should change by a few shades to resemble that of the sun. but it looked very nearly the same color as the suns.. not sure how it could be tweaked but too red not enough shadows, it killed some of the ship details. and then the flat ships and skinny capital ships.. hehe.

all in all i thought it was pretty good, definitely deserves a round of applause.

No goldie. I knew it as soon as it showed up.

i think it hasnt be worked oiout yet but the engines are awful.

Except that, this is totally A M A Z I N G

I like the varying placement of the engines on different ships. The suns, planets, moons, warps all look great. I actually like the way lavanite looks.

The warp animation is quite nice although I think it could be just a tad shorter.

I have to say however that the capship's just dont look right, the modules on the rear end are way to large imo. Im also not fond of the way ships look stretched in the targeting window, might be a conflict between 3d graphics and an UI designed for 2d, I dont know.

I also think that ships like the UZ line should have more sharp edges, I always imagined the Panther as more of a modded X-wing tbh.

Couple question though, do the targeting icons conflict with the min/close buttons? And how do they work in a system swarmed with trading slaves, ai awarms and several warps?

Seems to me that it would get very distracting and quite annoying in those situations.

And to all the nay-sayers....I like the Helga.

That is hot.

99% of it is absolutely amazing, there are only two things that seem kinda lackluster. First, as has already been pointed out, many of the ships seem too.......flat. They should be bulkier, imo.

Also, the interference when you approach a sun seemed rather grainy and odd-looking, at least to me.

Also, out of curiousity: For a fair amount of the video, the UI was missing. I know the UI is only a placeholder, but will there be a way to disable it in C2, like in the video, to gain additional screen space?

There should be a way to minimize it, if not toggle it all the way off.

You. Are. GOD.

The Panther looks a little too plastic like and toyish. Give it some rough edges maybe?

Like I mentioned earlier we're currently getting some of the models touched up.

Here is the improved Leviation:


The panther got a little touch up too, but I may add a few more details to the nose before release:

Isn't that the Behemoth?

Looks awesome

Behe might have a fatter nose?

But yeah it still looks cool.

Kanga

The level of detail isnt what concerns me with the panther and possibly all UZ ships. They look far too rounded imo.

Tbh, it look more like some kinky adult sex toy then a top of the line fighter.

Have you seen the Kikale Mzungu Frigate?
