[QUOTE=Cone;43004104]would be cool to have something like Moonbase Alpha had in that update where your character just starts going fucking mental from being in space too long and starts seeing skulls and dead astronauts and shit[/QUOTE] Oh just make the character randomly MADDEN and aeiou, everyone knows the best thing about moonbase alpha is the TTS

my hype for SOMA is slowly building because of this discussion about horror elements

in hindsight i'm actually legitimately impressed by that update the America's Army guys did. i don't know how they turned Moonbase Alpha into a surrealist sci-fi horror story, but they did and i want them to do it to more games.

It would be fantastic if ships could be TRULY parasitic and draw power from ones they are attached to via landing gear. Imagine a ship designed to be easy to destroy because its only power room is actually a ship of its own, and every other room is also its own ship, all connected via landing gears. Take out the central power supply, every room falls off of the others.

if landing gear need power and someone made a nice ship that was modular and they lost power, goodbye ship :(

Man I can't wait for survival multiplayer to come along so many possibilities in it if we have full control over how many slots are allowed

I made a ship. What do you think? [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=198733876[/url] (It's the one from the other day. I finally finished the interior.)

If this game doesn't get text to speech in the multiplayer update. I will sue.

Made a TIE Advanced so I could lead some TIE fighters around. [t]http://i.imgur.com/wsii7YG.jpg[/t] Next up shall be the TIE Defender.

[QUOTE=Cone;43004104]would be cool to have something like Moonbase Alpha had in that update where your character just starts going fucking mental from being in space too long and starts seeing skulls and dead astronauts and shit[/QUOTE] alternatively it'd be quite cool if there was some sort of 'ship infection', like alien vines and shit transmitted by docking with a ship or crashing into it so you have the little ships who just fly away as fast as they can, and the big ships that basically have to sever off infected sections

You know, reading all these spooky stories is one thing. But then you actually encounter [url=http://i.imgur.com/YqOXQZb.jpg]some spaceman ghost[/url] in-game... And in simply gets you or have I unlocked multiplayer [sp]no it's just an edited world file. again[/sp]

[QUOTE=darth-veger;43007570] Introducing drilling and improved rotation functionality![/QUOTE] Woo, they added weapons! [editline]28th November 2013[/editline] By the way Maybe that's how they took those screenshots with many astronauts in loading screens, you can just place them around. [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=198811598][img]http://i.imgur.com/RnJWHUol.jpg[/img][/url] And I mean like literally push them into place :v: [video=youtube;4RoSFcfqZTY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RoSFcfqZTY[/video]

Yes, it says so in the video Also: [img]http://i.imgur.com/ewAqmFC.png[/img] why? the rotation controls became kinda intuitive, now you have to adjust :v:

[QUOTE=damnatus;43007717]Yes, it says so in the video Also: [img]http://i.imgur.com/ewAqmFC.png[/img] why? the rotation controls are kinda intuitive for me, now I have to adjust :v:[/QUOTE] I personally never found it intuitive at all

I hoped by rotation mechanics they meant you could move a ship with rotating parts :c

did they break the spacebar lol

[QUOTE=NoDachi;43007825]did they break the spacebar lol[/QUOTE] Same thing happened to me. Rebind it in options

Cover a small ship shaped something like a block with drills switched on and send it flying into a bigger ship and rip it to pieces.

the drills take ages to chew through armour thankfully hah

What's the alternate background I see some people using?

[QUOTE=NoDachi;43007951]the drills take ages to chew through armour thankfully hah[/QUOTE] It may take a bit, but if you have a large enough drilling ship, I bet it would easily tear through someones hull. I actually kind of want to make a fighter based only on melee combat now...Haven't tested the drill against small ship armor yet, but against large ship armor it seems to be fairly viable so long as you can stay still long enough.

All this talk of space horror with someone following you makes me think of John Defoe from Yahtzee's games, especially the one where you are in space. [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19196889/John%20Defoe.mid[/url]

Especially if the ship is moving, you wouldn't be able to keep drilling on the same spot.
