Ship related content?

[Nekotamaishi]

Hi hi.. (and I will admit playing FTL put this in my head) I've seen stuff mentioned around in threads but its always a snip here or a 'maybe' there... will the ship be being fleshed out more? I mean its pretty central to the game. Its your family camper van of sorts. Would be neat if it had a map to navigate and talk to crew members, duty assignments maybe etc. I think it was mentioned you will be able to integrate Han-so into it somehow. Just curious if thats in the pipes or anytime soon. :3

 

[Nik_van_Rijn]

Through last two months ship combat was mentioned as a thing the devs actively working on mapping out. No details past vague things like 'some crew members will provide buffs' or 'there will be ship to ship combat and sometimes some boarding action', and no ETA, as far as I know.

 

[Chase]

Now that you mention it, it does describe the ship as being somewhat cramped. I am up to 6 crew now (thought you may be able to discount bess and the goo gal). It is probably pretty close to it's limit.


I think I vaguely recall something about possible ship upgrades at one point, but maybe I am just projecting my hopes. I wouldn't mind trading up to a better ship (maybe there is a super fan somewhere that really wants the Z14 that Victor piloted so long ago, and is willing to pay through the nose to get it).

That's actually way over the capacity our starter junker is supposed to have when the cap will get implemented - Savin talked about three being the crew limit for that ship.

 

[Zavos]

You can have a badass nerd puppyslut, two goo bimbos, a cook, a braindead alian pet, a cowgirl whore/slave,a silicon based houndish lifeform and a tauric droid and the RV sized ship isn't cramped in the slightest


Let FenCo do their thing.  Ship is almost certainly gona be the next big project after the child care thing is done. 

 

[irioth]

I assume the ship is getting to look more and more like this...

 

[Noob Salad]

Ship stuff is what I want most right now, because it's required for So.


Please make a deal out of this so it can get (a tiny bit) more priority.

 

[Klaptrap]

Ship stuff isn't going to get worked on until pregnancy is getting underway, so expect it maybe around 2018.


That is, assuming they don't just give us the bare minimum needed to satisfy the literal wording of the pledge, because Fenoxo a slut who can't into making realistic promises.

 

[Ormael]

Pregnancy is worked on mostly by Geddy atm I think so Fen and Savin could work slowly on planning Ship mechanics. So not so unoptimistic of been round 2018 for ship combat. Also I think not some but each crew member is suppose to give some buff to ship in combat. Matter if some of current 'crew members' will be included here. Inteligent suti or cook pet may not be much of been suitable to getting bonuses for having them onboard. I think around end of the year we may hear something more about ship cobats and etc. from devs (unless pregnancy stuff will take longer than this).

 

[Couch]

2018 may be an overestimate for ship content, I think mid-late next year is plausible if it gets focus right after the nursery and uses most of what was prototyped in The Silence.  The game moves at a seemingly glacial pace sometimes, but it's not that glacial.

Our current ship is the Z14. Victor had it pulled from storage and slightly fixed up for us.

a braindead alian pet,

What's that?

 

[shadefalcon]

What's that?

Most likely Yammi's pet Pexiga. After giving birth they become braindead. She has it on the ship for it's sugary saliva.

An expansion is written to give it bimbo intellgence, if you reckon that's an improvement.

Going from a mindless drooling mess, to a happy go lucky bimbo, is considered an improvement in my book

Jokes on you, the Nursery's finished. Fen forgot to put it in the changelog, though

On top of that, the resident floor's elevator tile has no mentions of Nursery, and when you get to Nursery's 1st floor, only the elevator that goes between Nursery floors is marked on the mini-map. I have managed to get lost when I fired up the newest public build while being extremely sleepy.

 

[Klaptrap]

Okay, wow, that's much better than I expected.


Not gonna change my 2018 prediction though.

Wow that was fast  ^_^

"Finished"


aka


"Raised a half dozen other issues to breaking point that we've been putting off fixing for months, that now I have to sort"

 

[Nonesuch]

R.I.P. Bothrioc.

 

[Nik_van_Rijn]

Despair :negative:

Wait what?

Doesn't it imply (and Geddy remark it does made tons tons of pun...damag...err errors) that now wokr on doing space combat can also enter coding phase (even if it's really slow moving ahead one?)

 

[Nonesuch]

Wait what?

It's a joke. I gave the bothrioc to Armageddyn because it was such a substantial project I didn't feel comfortable asking Jacques to do it. Problem then is, waiting for a window to come up in her constantly expanding schedule.

 

[Noob Salad]

Solution: Hire Codecat. At least for the moment, writing output far exceeds coding.

 

[shadefalcon]

I see. Too bad for geddy, having such a busy schedule, and the people awaiting the bothrioc.


I just heard about them quite recently, but they seem pretty intersting. Definitely something worth waiting for.

So if you're a male, is the nursery usable? Or do you have to give birth?

 

[Zavos]

There are a few mpreg options, most notably the Queen of the Deep's spawn.  

 

[Ormael]

Queen of the Deep's is I think more about her laying eggs in PC so...not sure if it can be so simply called mpreg. But few similar options to this with having eggs layed by some npc in PC could lead to having children sent to nursery.


Aslo for been male I think Briha cant children should be sent to nurery too. Only that each of them takes long time to have (90-120 ingame days).
