Can I repair my ship when docked at Earth? I go to the Venus mission and my weapons are unavailable even though I have crew in the rooms. My damage is also way down from the previous mission. Exercise in frustration continues.
This game seriously lacks testing and polish. The gameplay is built on a good premise but is poorly executed. There is absolutely no good incentive to repair your ship; split your crew into two and put them in the two gun rooms and voila; game is beat. Literally. I haven't gotten one game over and I just completed the game on the first playthrough. Invaders beaming into my ship were just sucked out into space because I don't repair my walls. Your guns will fire even if everything else is broken and burning; my engine was aflame but the ship will still transport me to my next target. The game is so easy it's ridiculous; your ship can't be destroyed! I have to question the score TouchArcade gives to the games it test; this is not a good game. It's a framework for a good game, but the game is not yet a finished product. A fair rating would be 2/5 stars for a promising concept.
You can repair anywhere as long as you have crew assigned as engineers. Just reassign your weapons crew to engineering, repair, then re assign them back to your weapons.
Does anyone else find the initial loading screen funny? A long line of people waiting impatiently for a turd.....
"Reassign" = "slowly march each and every crew member all the way over to a yellow room so they can change the colour of their jersey, then slowly march them over to the damage so they can fix it, then slowly march them all the way back to the rooms they were working in again. When under attack from invaders, repeat process except this time slowly march them to a red room first, then slowly march them back to the battle zone, then slowly march them back to their original rooms to change jerseys. AGAIN." People find this mechanism fun? FTL for iOS can't come quick enough!
Unless you guys are doing this hole up in one room thing, I am not buying this "it only took two hours and I barely ever died" baloney. If you are doing that, then coming here and complaining is seriously lame as hell. It's like you guys just wanna find stuff to complain about. No one is forcing you to exploit a minor flaw in the game, play it like it was supposed to be played.
It's not, if you've ever played FTL. People keep saying "this isn't meant to be like FTL", and they're right, because the developer of this game preferred to make something that eschews all of the good design decisions FTL made. I honestly didn't smile once in my first game. I spent too long going "why have they decided not to explain how the ship weapons work? Why can nobody on my ship fire a gun unless they trek halfway across the ship to change jersey, and back again? Why did they pick such an ugly and hard-to-read font? Why do I have to keep manually restarting 'dodge' ammo production after they've made one?" So disappointing. No idea why TA gushed over this.
Am I the only one to get big performance issue when my ship start to be upgraded ? (Believe FPS start to drop when every room have 1-2 upgrades) It make the last fights a little harder, but still not that much.
Quick question, does a high red (weapons) value for a crew make that person better in the weapon rooms firing the weapon, of just for boarding battles?
The damage is almost the same but they unlock skills... The skills pretty cool.. But u only can use it when u are that color.. Nope it's not like final fantasy when you change job u retain the skills lol
You're not alone. My ship is fully upgraded and its gotten worse. It's crashed twice on me now, and trying to complete what I believe is the final battle is almost impossible. I'm playing on a 4S.
Unless your goal is to race through the game as fast as possible and not to have fun playing the game as intended, I wouldn't recommend it.
Starting to get used to it when i fully upgrade my ship, then suddenly, the game is so laggy, dont know why or what happen. Anyway was expecting the game has more ships to choose from,
Suggesting an update is a little different than complaining about a how exploiting a minor flaw makes the game too short. I just find it strange that people who know about this just cannot bring themselves not to do it, and then bitch. At least I am assuming, maybe someone did beat it legitimately in two hours, but I just don't buy it.
Well, between putting Yoda Chronicles and this on my phone... I chose THIS. Way better than that Lego game, even with its shortcomings. I am definitely looking forward to the sandbox update as well as any goodies. I also hope WB listens to some of the suggestions. The only catch with that, though, is the more suggestions that we all ask for, the longer said update will take to roll out. That's definitely the big downfall that has been experienced with this title. Even if WB was two or three people, imagine quitting their day jobs, raising funds on KS, using funds to support three families (maybe, I don't know), and then spending your work hours 40+ a week on programming, testing, trouble-shooting, etc. Yeah, I imagine it gets tedious and difficult finding problematic code when you're an indy company that's just starting out. Shoot, I don't even know how to fully code yet. So, all that to say, if they can fit in a few suggestions, that would be awesome. If not, shoot... I'd just be happy with an update with a few more missions and a hair style or two.
So I haven't even started playing this yet, thanks to my wonderful work schedule. I intend to dive in soon though! Any beginners' tips I should keep in mind?
