Necros are still good in here

Especially if Josh has something to add. Well worth the necromancy

Some feedback to Lindsey's bomber concept (I hope you will find it in the plethora of threads, here seems most appropriate): Generally looks great, but there are a few changes I'd like to suggest: Design element that are supposed to be wings look more appealing if they are not too thick and bulky co...

The biggest problem for (combat centered) AI is not a technical one, but: "how does the player perceive it". And that is strongly correlated with the gameplay the designers have in mind. Noticeable to the player are obvious failures of the AI (pathfinding - getting stuck, not reacting to obvious th...

However, the stability of a faction that chooses to survive by piracy does have limitations, not explicit mechanical ones, but implicit logical ones. Pirates are akin to predators in a foodchain, they can only grow so much before "Steal this other person's stuff and/or kill them" stops being a viab...

how much would we need to run them? (ammo, energy distribution from the ships energy core EDIT: if its an energy point defense) I don't think the game is far enough along to give exact numbers here - and indeed, exact numbers may not even matter if everything changes from one universe to the next. ...

I have a linux laptop on order (it comes with Ubuntu, but I'm thinking of installing Mint on it instead, or I'll just replace Unity with Cinnamon). What do you recommend for a Kaby Lake CPU with 16 Gb RAM, Josh? Nice call on the linuxtop :) And erm what do I recommend? What do you mean? With those ...

It's the hope that's important. Big part of belief, hope. Give people jam today and they'll just sit and eat it. Jam tomorrow, now -- that'll keep them going forever. Promised updates are easy. Actual game improving updates that are out are something else. ;) Hello Games have one thing in their fav...

Is it possible to have a seed, that generates the "as advertised" universe of LT? The one where all the fly-bys have been performed for the ads that appear online for LT.. that way, you merely dial into that seed and see everything that you heard/knew about from reviewers/ ads. Then, safe in the kn...

If Josh doesn't support Win 10 I'm going to download and install Ubuntu. Semi-OT, but the more I read about Windows 10 the less I'm inclined to install it at all. For now I'm fine with Win 7, but once support for that runs out it might be time to switch to Linux. So if LT is available for purchase ...

Emphasis mine.

Because obviously Limit Theory is already a quite demanding project, and multiplayer would make it more demanding.

I think it would be unwise to try and include multiplayer in version 1.0 (or even 1.x) .

Just to slide in here something I've intimated before, what I'm curious about is not the number of "ships" I can carry... it's the number of drones. Assuming drones aren't coded so that they are incapable of anything other than magical support functions (i.e., "move ore from asteroid to ship's carg...

I do that once per week or so. No life sign since end of June .

Can you elaborate a bit on the limitations of statically typed languages? Just for clarity, the limitation of a statically-typed language is that the compiler must, at all times, know what datatype it is handling. The result is typically that you have to 'declare' the datatype that a variable will ...

Let's start with the bad. They've changed the way hangars work and instead of having everything dynamically placed for you, you manually place all ships and decorative items in your hanger on 'anchor points'. These are tiny, and unless you are right up against one you don't see it. It took me ages ...

I tried it. Apparently I don't have any eligible games. :) I know that I don't have any. The list of eligible games is still short, and so is my Steam games library. Short enough that I can take a look at both lists and say "nope, no matches". But it might still be worthwhile to keep an eye on GOG ...
