- yay for realism/details (eg shortcircuits, lower firing rates, less crew efficiency bc of artificial grav failing, ...) - Keep in mind the game isn't turn based though. Eg it might be more practical to keep firing at lower efficiency than to repair first -> smarter AI for fleets needed. (or maybe ...

Hi o/

Thank you for all the feels, wishes and awesome contest entries! I'm touched by the concern and compassion. Got to clear a few things up: Rewards for October: HowSerendipitous : natural selection 2, I'll make sure you get this key asap. Shuul, would you like Landmark, Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY? Nov...

My Flemish Giant, Flap. Couldn't wait for me to open the new bag of hay, so she did it herself.

Is this considered art?

Thank you for your generosity, CSE!

HowSerendipitous, would you like Landmark, Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY or Natural Selection 2?

I think while in combat the rails should be unaccessible and weapons should be disabled on the rail, because if you're moving on the rail and try shooting, odds are that you're gona be hitting yourself instead of anybody else. You can't really hit the AI in the rail, because the rail increases thei...

edit: it should be noted that Player-Owned Factions are a stretch goal and as such Josh may hold this feature for after LT 1.0 release as free DLC. This feature may or may not resemble Civilization-style play to some extent, but the RTS elements apart from this won't have that sort of scope. Correc...

If this is confirmed, then I would simply pass and put "my" price for the next competition installment, thus giving modestly something back to this excellent community! Because anyway I already had the main price: you guys motivate me to get a new 3D software and to plunge again in the wonderful wo...

Just a heads up, the results of October's LTFC will be posted tomorrow.
I heard back from all judges in the last few days, but have been swamped with work at my shop and evening classes. I'm making it a point to clear the time tomorrow to conclude October's edition.

I only have to hear back from one more judge. If this hasn't happened before the weekend I'm going to proceed without his scoring.

I have to admit that having the choice to load a larger weapon appeals to me. It would come with obvious tradeoffs. A ship will have a limited acceleration based on its ability to generate energy and thrust. The thrust depends on the mass of the ship. A higher tier weapon would need a larger capacit...
