I hear you on the 4 billion planets. I'm not planning on visiting them all, just keep going in one direction till I'm way out there... # My money making scheme works because of the cheat you describe. I did not know you could move the camera while landing. How did you take the screenshot?
To take screenshots with the iOS devices, you've got to press home + power buttons at the same time, and it'll save it in your camera roll
Small bug report: I had to get to Fiinna, but I got to the pointer planet and it was Marxete (or something like that). In the end, I saw Fiinna in space, it was like 1.42ly from the pointer. I went there and got the mission accomplished, but the pointer of the mission was wrong.
Update is live! new sounds are fantastic, and it's great to see "known" or "unknown" in the jobs to choose unknown planets for the missions. Thanks Marsaults!
New request Hello again, Still trading, getting my bank account up for the large ship. I'm still enjoying this game very much. As you buy the larger ships tapping the buy and sell buttons for each 1T of an item is becoming a pain. Is there any way you can implement a hold feature on buy/sell so if you hold your finger on the button it will purchase or sell all the items in inventory? For a few items here and there tapping is fine, but I'm usually buying out or selling the entire stock of items. buying out 32 tons of platinum and other goods at one stop gets a bit tedious.
Marsaults, when you revise the planets' markets, could you check the formula used for the trading benefit? IMO trading benefit = price paid when bought VS price paid when sold, independently from the mean price. I think that the formula currently takes the mean price into account somewhere, because my counter went down with a product I bought very cheap (well below mean price) and sold at a better price, but still below mean price. Thanks! On a side note, you should consider adding a zero to the hour counter of the played time, I'm at 14h of gameplay and counting...
Very perceptive Virtualboy! Formula uses the mean price (as at first i didn't want to track the paid and sold prices for each commodity present in your ship). I guess I have to fix earning formula for the next update!
This game looks more and more like a hidden gem, updated like a perpetual machine by the developer. I waited a long time but so much dedication deserves to be rewarded. I'm sold!
There's been 10 updates since release, and yes, it's a hidden gem. If you're into Elite-kind games, you'll love this one. Also, the fact that it works great both on low-end devices and on last-gen devices is fantastic. I play on a 4S with iOS 7.1.2 with all the gfx in low settings. I'm pretty sure it looks amazing on the new iPhone SE with all settings set to maximum. This gives everyone a chance of playing
Hi Marsaults. I have to say your continued development of this game is to be highly commended. It's great to see the improvements you've made since release. I hope your game is doing well. There are plenty of space trader/elite fans out there, I just hope they've heard of the game because I'm sure they would love it. I have my own little feature request to ask: Just to help my immersion a bit, would it be possible to have an option to switch off the skip messages? (I like the landing sequence and am not in a rush. So for me it would be great to disable them) The other things which would be great if possible are: The option of using the accelerometer to control your ships pitch & yaw / some speed control for normal flight (I have trouble not overshooting my target, maybe a match target speed button) also device screen rotation would be nice but I understand all that may require a fair bit of work) Regardless, thanks for bringing us this great game. Edit I have a quick favor to ask of the nice people frequenting this thread, please can you update your App Store reviews after a few game updates (or add one if you haven't yet). It might help those who don't come to this forum to make the descison to buy this game.
It's been crashing on me non stop on my iPhone 6plus. Start a new game and it crashes everytime when I reach the first star port or trying to land on the first planet
PM Marsaults so that he gives you his mail to send him the crash report, iPhone iOS and language setting, etc. I'm sure he'll gladly help you with the issue.
I've already reported to Marsaults the following bug: pressing on the top right corner while landing (where the arrow up button to change speed is) makes you change speed and messes up the game. Just in case anyone has suffered it. Of course, while the bug gets resolved the solution is easy: don't click on the top right corner while landing!
Android Version? Your game looks amazing! Exactly what I've always wanted on my phone, except that I run an android device. Do you have a port planned? I'd love to buy Stellar Horizon as I love Elite and other games like it.
Escape from battles? It might be a good idea to be able to escape from battles. I'm about 400LY out from the starting system. It's like the Wild West out here.i get into battles on about 75% of the trips. The majority of the ships out here are dangerous and can take about 10 minutes to destroy. That Is with the most powerful weapon in the game. Now when you have three of these ships on you at once like I do right now, battles are going to last a LONG time.
