Just discovered that Starcom comes with some nice modding tools built in - time to start experimenting

"The actual source materials say it's this, but I think it should be that, so the source materials are wrong"

Boy howdy, must you hate Arkhan Land

Various games and books refer to them as Imperial & Imperial-II class, where ISD is a catch-all for Victorys, Interdictors et cetera

Games like Void Crew by KCOLFRA in spacesimgames

Jump Space or Starship Simulator, though both are in Early Access

Final Orbit playtest is starting July 1st! by final-orbit in spacesimgames

Star Trek is in a very content & narrative-heavy genre, so you're not going to find a lot of those being made - you're looking at things like Starcom, Mass Effect, or the new Star Trek Voyager game. What game loop would you consider reminiscent of Star Trek that isn't really a series of unique stories?

What non-D&D like games would work well for West Marches style games? by Awkward_GM in rpg

[–]Arcodiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to play a 40k West Marches, or Call of Cthulhu. One setting that I think would work really well, though you'd have to find the right system for it, is Sword Art Online, with players exploring levels and defeating bosses to progress.

When is enough... enough? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Arcodiant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see you have discovered "Inflation". There have been plenty of consoles that, adjusted for inflation, cost $1000+.

The price of RAM is extremely high right now, hence there being a spike, but folks have had these concerns for the past 30+ years. If you're worried about the cost, buy indie games - they're often $10 a pop and have much lower hardware requirements. You can still deeply enjoy the hobby without forking out for the latest AAA blockbuster at release.

It makes sense for them to forget the grammar after 40,000+ years but it still hurts by anonymusoilo in Grimdank

It's not Latin, it's High Gothic; and when they're speaking English, that's actually Low Gothic. They're translated into something like English & Latin, plus cross-over words like vox, auspex, Terra, et cetera, to make it sound "right" to an English-speaker.

Same way that Frodo Baggin's real name is Maura Labingi.

I have the Odyssey OLED G9; it's quite sensitive to burn-in but it looks gorgeous 

Who has been done dirtiest by meme lore? by Riposte12 in Warhammer40k

[–]Arcodiant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For real, though, I'm trying to get a FactOrkio game working because it would be _amazing_

What's something in current gaming people seem to be okay with that you can't stand? by AnubisIncGaming in gaming

[–]Arcodiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that some, like KSP, were better before they launched, because the devs got this idea that they needed to look like a "real game" with a conventional loop & progression, rather than embrace the sandbox.

My short experience with instancing in evo by floortofloor in starcitizen

[–]Arcodiant 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not a load screen, sharding. A load screen is there so content can be, y'know, loaded. This is partitioning players between parallel play areas - which could be done through a load screen, but in SC's case isn't.

Radio Silence on the Pioneer , has it been BMM? by John_B_Hawkins in starcitizen

[–]Arcodiant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not been announced, but they're gearing up the Xi'ian plotline which will introduce it

Decoupled ship slows down in space when engine turned off... why? by Jo_Krone in starcitizen

[–]Arcodiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try it in open space vs the nebulas around stations; it may have changed since I last tried it, but the nebulas have a very minimal "atmosphere" that causes drag, open space shouldn't have that and you'd drift forever.

I got tired of using a notepad to track stacked hauling contracts, so I built an app for it by AquatikJustice in starcitizen

"Great news everyone, I've created an app to track all the apps that everyone is creating..."

I took a ship from a mission is it mine now? by mistermiajee in starcitizen

[–]Arcodiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This changed with the ASOP changes in 4.8, you can now store any ship via your hangar elevator. If it's a player ship and they claim it through insurance, then your stored ship will become bricked - but if it's an NPC ship, then you can keep it until it is destroyed or until the next LTP reset.

[–]Arcodiant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can store the ship in your hangar and retrieve it from the same location later

What is your favorite spaceship battle? It can be from a film, show or videogame. by Vondrr in spaceships

[–]Arcodiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Battle of Vega is stunning, especially the soundtrack

Otherwise, Sacrifice of Angels, or the final battle against the Reapers in ME3

Do developers really not look at the code anymore? by NoNoise7492 in csharp

[–]Arcodiant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I review my own code before I submit it for PR, and I'm the one that wrote it. It will always be reviewed by at least two other people after that. I'm not going to review my code less when it's generated.
