Yeah, so I ended up staying up and starting a game... I'm really really enjoying this one. Granted, I'm just about an hour into my first game, but it seems to be perfect for someone new to the genre. I'm not too sure how gamers who have played loads of 4x games feel about it... But having a hard difficulty should keep people busy, right? =oP Hopefully this will end up being a great intro to Starbase Orion. I bought it the day it came out, and still have no idea what I'm doing... So I've started trying out other sci-fi / RTS/TBS games... And am really gettin into them. Anyway... So far, great game! =oD
And we're still waiting for the 'promised' update... Yup, this is a great game by all means. It's almost a simplified turn based SoaSE. That being said, are the bugs fixed? (forgot what they were but there were some right?)
LOL I'm totally with you on this ..Im somewhat new to the 4x thing too but have been doing TBS for years..I played a long campaign in asendency and love the game ..have u played it? I still have lots to learn with it though .. I grabbed Starbase Orion and....well let's just say I need to focus waaaay more on it lol..with that said I been tryin and watchin all TBS/4X space iOS games now and am going to tap buy on this baby ...btw grabbed dark orbit too but not clear on how to create ships clearly..then again RTS is not my passion...keep in touch bro..!
gunxsword, So yeah, what bugs would you be referring to good sir, We should have ironed those issues out in build 1.01, The new build 1.03 even allows you to flip your phone over and play holding from the over horz orientation. (wow) So please any other bugs you find, let me know so I can kill them in the Super update, I am mostly waiting for art on it, I basically had to rewrite the game to optimize memory use so I could add more stuff in, Which is where the hold up has come in, Now I am on to the interesting stuff, Like ground combat, new races, etc. -Chris
Haha.., yup, bought Asendency a couple days ago. Haven't gotten into it yet, but planning on it for tonight/tomorrow. I did get a game in on here. Ended up staying up all night (got 3 hours of sleep, hehe), and finished pretty easily, but was playing in easy, so the next game I'm gonna try on normal, then hopefully hard. Ground troops, and more races sounds awesome. But I know I'm new to this, and it might not be possible due to iPod hardware resources, but it would be great if we could decide how many ships we want to transfer to another planet. I don't know if it would also take away from the game, but I found myself wanting to send half of my 100+ fleet to another planet instead of getting the 25 planets behind a planet to build fighters then transfer them all over the next turn. Other than that, AWESOME game. Really really got into it... So much so that I lost sleep over it. =oD Glad I bought it, and thank you for making a game that poured more fuel on my growing 4x fire! =oD
syntheticvoid I would be worried about the implications to game play, BUT I think if I limited it, down to say when transferring fleets you have two options, we could call them Transfer Armada (Whole fleet) and Transfer Auxillary (Half of fighters) that might work and not effect the core game play, your thoughts on that good sir?
Well, again, I'm just a newbie, and if you think it would effect gameplay in a bad way, just ignore me. =oP But yes, that sounds good... At least improved from now... And again, IMO... so if there's hardcore 4x fans, or you don't think it's a good idea, just tell me so. =oP
Update Finally SO finally I can share some a image from the forthcoming update, here is one of the backgrounds used for colonization and ground combat.
Just saw this game... watched a vid... Dammit and i just bought Blue Libra yesterday D: This looks good, will keep it on my wishlist waiting till i get a new card
FYI to the Dev... I decided to reinstall this but forgot the Latin name. I searched the app store for: "To Conquer All Stars" and it didn't come up in the search results. The only way I found it was by looking for it in the forums here. Perhaps you might want to tweak your keywords a bit so the English translation finds the app.
Looking for iphone 4s users Does anyone who has Vincere Totus Astrum have a iPhone 4s or does anyone who is interested in playing VTA have a iPhone 4s, if so please message me or respond here, Need your help with checking for a potential bug. Please before my Dev'orn overlords decide my usefulness is expired.
So I have updated VTA! lol. Yes it has been like 6 years. I might actually have the record of time between updates. This update should bring the app in line with the Steam release. Which includes just a few extras from the previous version. You can now visit the planet surface, and review some colony data and conduct planet searches. The plan moving forward is to get the HD version of the game out. However I am short a artist. The new version of the game provides a ton more features. Here is a list of some of them already working in the HD code. Stars are added to the map, and allow you to use a jump points. You risk loosing a ship here and there the longer a fleet is in close orbit. Formations, Movements and firing patterns are awarded as "Cards" and you can go into a battle with a set number of cards. Meaning during battle you can change firing patterns, movement and fleet structure. Troop ships for ground invasions and Frieghters for economic boosts will be available to build. Timeline system allows you to start the game in different points of the VTA universe we will have mapped out galactic events that effect gameplay. Anyone know a good artist that can match the previous artists incredible style?
Lol, now it's when we're going to rediscover old gems we didn't remember we had bought years ago! I owned this one and as soon as I saw the thread I had to redownload EDIT: I knew I had written in this thread when the game was released, what I couldn't remember is that it was on page 1 and with a bug report... Lol!
