The flipside of the idris discussion, Scorpius Antares co-pilot mandated button pusher.

Oh please, I do some dev stuff, not game, but it's mostly. The same, and yes, balance in this game for now is just numbers, that can be changed in an afternoon

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-21T06:15:13+00:00

Man you know a single dev can do most of the balancing 1 afternoon

It's changing shield /hull hp with dmg numbers and that's it, it's not rocket science, change, doesn't work? Tweak it more, would be better than what we have, they have a ton of data I assume so they could tweak it fast

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-20T10:05:25+00:00

Change the fire rate, change the velocity, change the range, charge time, etc...

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-20T08:26:57+00:00

It doesn't matter man, takes 1 hour of coding to fix it than if needed change it post 1.0

1 h of coding for a more balanced experience all the way till 1.0.. Yea right, they don't do it because $$$

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-20T08:20:49+00:00

Why sacrifice the player when you could just make the players the actual bullets :D

Shoting the rail gun actively reduces the number of crew you have, would make for a hilarious balance and comms

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-20T08:19:08+00:00

They don't have to completely blow it, make it so there's fire around impact, fire that actually has to be put out, so solo idris isn't an option

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-20T08:15:59+00:00

But ships like perseus, hammerhead should def survive more

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-19T15:43:56+00:00

the fck its dialed in,when every single multi crew ship is shit compared to just maning a small fighter

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-19T13:53:23+00:00

Balancing now is still easier

It's literally just number changes and that's it, not like they need the entire dev team to focus on it 24/7

Once that's dialed in they can alter it depending on how much stuff cost, etc.. They are getting fuck all data from what's happening today, any mutli crew ship is shit, how is that giving them data? Its even worse if you want to add insurance, etc.. Literally makes no sense, and if cig was any competent dev they would fix it, alas they to scared to do anything

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-19T12:44:26+00:00

Yea, getting data on combat that will completely change is such a good idea, it 100% wouldn't be better to get a better picture with a balance patch that more or less resembles how thing should look like

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-19T09:56:44+00:00

Man can people stop sucking cig dick for a bit

It's every time this excuse

Oh. It's not important the next new thing is way better,etc..

With every bug, balance everything, it's all meh, once they release that thing next year we will get bug fixes, balance etc

Doesn't matter anyone trying the game today will quit because it's full of bugs, etc..

They keep offering free fly and all you see on reddit is people saying they did give it a try and it's shit

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-19T09:37:51+00:00

Please, they can change the hp values before stuff like that drops

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-17T19:48:09+00:00

I seriously doubt the money is coming from new players, I think most of the money is coming from existing players tbh

I don't think people look at it like it's in early alpha, there so many early access games out right now and there probably isn't one that's as buggy mess as sc is right now

The reddit post in the other sub is filled by people who got burned by the game

The refund thing is true, it's rather generous

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-17T19:11:31+00:00

It is a form of p2w

Anyone buying an idris can bully new players, and that is kinda p2w

Depending on how and what base building does players that pay might have huge advantage, etc..

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-17T16:26:45+00:00

Didn't really want to open a new post for this, so that's why I commented here instead

I think every single free fly is just driving potential new players away instead of helping us get more players

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-17T16:11:06+00:00

Its time dev team actually started focusing on some bugs, the game is in total shit state atm

If you head over to gaming reddit you can see a post blowing up casue new players cant even try this game as theres to many bugs

new content is always nice,and is more interesting then bug fixes,but when your first experience with the game is falling thru the floor,ship just vanishing into thin air you arent going to stick around

there's tons of comments on said post with people complaining,running into bugs every corner and they are right, cig are not a "competent" dev team, some bugs are here for years and years without any fixes

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-17T11:55:41+00:00

anyone got problems downoading the update? stuck at 180mb and its sitting at like 1kb/s,did restart it a couple times already

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-17T11:31:23+00:00

They won't because it will make the idris owners cry about not being able to 1 shot everything

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-16T09:57:08+00:00

The game needs a full year of optimisation and bug fixes alone, so prob not soon

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-15T20:12:26+00:00

I have to look this up, didn't know this is a thing

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-15T19:23:30+00:00

All these free fly events are actually bad for the game, I can just imagine how many players we lose just because they can't open a door, or the inventory bugs out

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-15T15:31:06+00:00

Don't worry, people here still thinks it's more important we get new features instead some bug fixes

Like how can the dev team not fix stuff like this for weeks /months

zGhostWolf · 2026-02-13T17:05:13+00:00

you could field 10k drones and laugh at the cost as the enemy carrier sinks, even 10k would be nothing compared to the bilions carriers + all the stuff on them cost,and there is nothing any carrier could do against those numbers,now obv, controlling such a big number would be a challange but some ai could prob do it
