how do I get my steam key for this game?
I love this game, it game me countless hours of enjoyment, I still play this from time to time as well as FTL. Hard to find quality games like these.
I bought this game over on steam and it is FANTASTIC!
Hats off to the guys who made this and if your considering BUY IT!!
Will the HIB Linux & Mac versions come to Desura (regardless of download codes)?
Got here from Starfarer
Hi guys, I have sometimes a bug with turrets aiming wrong. When I set turrets to manual mode, the turrets sometimes keep aiming automatic at enemies but with a offset to the right or left (the problem does not lie with turrets rotating to slow, they rotate fast enough). When I set turrets to automatic mode, they aim automatic (without the offset IIRC) but al my weapons open fire automatically too (including grunt shuttles, so my ship's goons is very fast depleted). Sometimes the modes work, sometimes I have the before mentioned bugs. Anyway to fix this?
As far as I can tell, Manual/Automatic turrets just means whether they shoot manually or automatically. Turret tracking cannot be changed. They either aim at the enemy ship you've selected (if that ship is in range of the turret's weapon) or they aim at mouse pointer. This means surplus/standard cannon turrets aren't a good idea. Particle cannon and mass driver turrets seem fine as their bullet speed is rapid.
Bought this game a few days ago on steam, it is a fun game. Modifying your ships and looking for the best loadouts is very addictive :). And I love the bombs, it is satisfying destroying a whole group of tiny ships with a bomb :D.
I have one suggestion, please add the ability to have multiple smaller ships in a large hanger. Excluding a few rare circumstances and weird builds, mid in the game tiny & small ships become somewhat useless compared to the bigger ships. Or is this later in the game possible? (i am now lvl 43, chapter 2 iirc)
Looks cool, dling demo, from the screenshots it looks a bit like Gratuitous Space Battles, IMHO
use of a similar engine i believe, also worth the 10 dollars you pay for it
