oh my…a new patch right on schedule - let’s see what you’ve got!

barrel speed is how fast the circle moves (basically).

damned virus guard…it keeps poping up though i added star conflicts file to the exceptions - anyone has this problem?

if so, did you fix it? how?

1213818 · February 28, 2013, 11:11am

With this they have ruin the H. plasma… Basically you have to stay quiet to aim with the charge of plasma and sometimes during normal fire you lose the aim. I hate this

Increased dynamics of acceleration.
Reduced rate of lateral movement.

Game balance: General

The reduced rate of lateral movement is way too much it makes it like I’m not in space anymore it’s so damn slow, more so in an interceptor which I would hope to have better lateral movement to zip around other ships.

And not only that, with H. Plasma (not sure if this happend with other weapons) My aim point become crazy and go out and makes imposible to shoot someone…Sad very sad…

I welcome the changes to game balance. With the reduced cost of repairs people are more eager to fight more, (abiet more recklessly) and really charge forward into dogfights (as the game intended) more often with out being too penalized for dying.

I have yet to be in game yet, but what the heck does “Reduced rate of lateral movement” mean? Slower strafes in the X, Y, and Z axis? Or something more?

Also, I hope they have accurately changed the color of the combat drones, when its red its dead. So they really got to make it yellow or something.

Hidden bonus! You can use the mouse wheel to navigate the ship tree… THANKS! I like the changes, plasma cannons will need some getting used to now. I don’t think that the change was quite needed as much as it was. Plasma cannons having a faster tracking than rail guns made sense since they are a lower damage Per Shot even if the dps was similar. This means that you lose more dps than railguns because target tracking will only allow you to hit half the time against a mobile target even if your reload rate is faster than the rails.

Hope that made sense!

But doing that only to plasma is what i encounter odd.

game.exe trojan alert… again.

Please devs, can you do something to secure update process a little bit???

Except from that, nice work with the updates

1213818 · March 2, 2013, 6:51pm

Rancor4 its an odd problem. Have you downloaded the game from steam, from other place?

Error posted a FAQ and there is a link to download the game, take a look and see if that is clean, here is the link

capkoko, the antivirus detection occurs when updating with the launcher, not with install binaries.

This has happened for several updates, and I know I’m not alone to detect trojans/viruses in game.exe during updates…

But yeah, this is very odd indeed : /

Doesn’t seem to be heuristic false positive…

Also, I’m not a big fan of ship selection with ship tree tool… I feel it’s not the right tool to do this because of too much information which are not relevant when just choosing an owned ship.

Previous dedicated tool was more readable and convienient.

However, keeping the possibility to select ship in tree window should be maintained.
