Hmm, interesting. Enemy ships jumping about spoiling your aim. Enemy missile ships jumping in and releasing a broadside then jumping out again. Nasty. But also drones or autons jumping in and out. Good. Filed for future consideration. Thanks. Using the capacitor code is a great idea. Be aware that ...

I've been thinking about an idea for a playership with a unique shield generator. To be exact, I don't mean a shield generator, but a device which takes up the slot of the shield generator. This device would allow the player to 'strafe' from side to side, dodging bullets with ease. It would even all...

Can't you count TES games as rogue likes? Especially Skyrim!

I think those are more of open world RPG games, not rogue likes... but I guess they sort of count.

Before 1.5, only mining rating matters, and multi-hits were more useful than slower weapons. Now, with damage threshold, a mining weapon needs to be damaging enough to mine ore in the first place. Early systems, threshold is only 1 or 2 points, no big deal. But later, the threshold curves upward. I...

My C++ background should help.

Have fun!

(it is actually pretty fun learning it, as long as you use the IRC to avoid going insane)

Ah. Ok thanks

Asteroids have a minimum damage threshold required (per hit) to mine

Hmm. Is that minimum damage, or minimum mining damage? Because I know asteroids require your mining weapon to have at least one point of another type of damage.

Teach me transLISP. I'll do that. The easiest way to learn it is to look at the source (not the big overwhelming 2000 line sections of it, the small bits) or at other people's mods, and then go on IRC for help. IRC is the best :) As for myself, I'm not very good at tLisp, but I'm passable. I don't ...

We need a heavy/dual/triple mining laser or a very low damage continuously firing plasma torch.

Normally when I mine I use a quick mod a made for myself which adds a mining laser wall with very low damage. Just so I can actually hit the asteroids without going crazy...

Well one thing I think should be taken into consideration is: Turreted weapons are awesome, nuff said.

By this I don't mean omnidirectional weapons, I mean things like the Freya's swivel turret. Things which have a small arc of omni. They feel so satisfying to play.

That's why we need a hard mode.

Maybe that's something someone could get onto. Maybe I'll give it a try, but I'm not the best modder, and I'm appalling at creating graphics xD

btw, Re: your signature : the "wall" only has the power you give it: Code: OnjSetProperty Nil nothing will stand in your way of Greatness. I don't think that code would work. Doesn't it have to be ObjSetProperty xD I do hope your experiments work out well for you. Thanks! Currently working on it pr...

Wow, that was a fast response. I had the idea of making a mod to make the mining pods better, but first I decided to post here to see if there was something I was missing, and I'm left thinking that there isn't really anything that I'm missing, so I might do it. However the damage is pretty ridiculo...

Same time as when the mining pods were added.

Ok I'm glad I'm not 100% oblivious. I stopped playing for about 2-3 years and only just recently started playing again, and when I came back mining pods were in the game.

Good :) I'm having a bit of trouble contacting you on the IRC xD so I'll post this here: TSB doesn't work for me, with the error: TSB_Extension.tdb: Line(42): Unable to find library: a0030013 This might just be that it hasn't finished downloading, but I can't manage to make it download. Do I have to...
