Oh yeah! I haven't thought of that! Makes one wonder what silly mode would be like during ship combat.

Anno, sitting at the captain's chair: "Sir! The radar, sir. It appears to be... jammed."

Captain Steele: Tastes jam. "Raspberry... There's only one woman who would dare give me the raspberry. Jill!"
Captain's chair better be a euphemism for dick otherwise I'm going to be very confused.

If so, I'm also kinda imaging that Anno feels a twitch when Steele realizes it's Jill they're fighting.

Just wait until So modifies your ship so you have to sit on a dildo to fly anywhere.

More fun would be to jam Jill ship radar with Raspberry. We should teach PC joy of sharing xD
Raspberry cannon upgrade option when? Or Raspberry-Type Bombs upgrade?

Now then we know psionics will eventualy be a thing but would it have any use in ship to ship combats? Scale seems not fitting unless we would have some bioship that is natural psionic user...

@Ormael Maybe something similar like the Psionic Ships of the Ethereals of XCOM. Those look like good concepts to work from.

Well Psionics is still far away dream more than ships so psionic ships and space combat with power of psionics may take so much time to see. WOuld be nice to see those psionic ships been similar to Ethereals ships from XCom.

Modern XCOM in my case with the Temple Ships as being the only psionic driven ships I know of in any media. I am aware of the old strategy, but I had no idea there is a XCOM flight simulator, that's completely new.

Yeah, instead of tactically controlling guys on the ground, you fly with up to four other ships on a variety of missions. I recall their being a psionic gun of some sort. I got the official strategy guide somewhere, I'll check. Here's Wikipedia's information on it while you wait: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-COM:_Interceptor

Yep, the Psi Blaster. Can be used to panic pilots or temporary have them switch sides. Extremely slow firing with only maybe two shots before you have to recharge your beam energy. Considered an unreliable novelty weapon.

I need to go play XCOM 2. It's right there on my shelf. Damn my procrastinating nature and backlog of games!!

Haha! still haven't beaten XCOM 2 for me, those Royal Aliens are just absolutely unforgivable. Ooooh! The Avenger, I almost forgot about that ship; that is just absolutely one of my favorite fictional craft if there ever was one.

@Arhon OMG! THE RAGE I FEEL ON THOSE MOMENTS KNEW NO BOUNDS! (Not enough to break my keyboard of course but godammit!)

BTW just watched some footage and the old trailers of Dreadnought, and gave me a cackle imagining Steele to eventually pilot one of these things and accidentally plowing Jill's ship into dust.

---

In the void of space, no one can hear you scream...or hear a 15 minute long-cussing and ranting by a certain bitchy cousin

Steele was having a ball watching the different shades of red Jill was going through.

Comms on

-YOU BIMBO DIP-

Comms off

...

Comms on

-CUNT MUNCHING EXCUSE FOR A COUS-

Comms off

...

This went went on another 10 minutes before Bess thought it has gone on long enough and activated the tractor beam to pull in the irate Jill Steele among the wreckage that were now roadkill (or is it spacekill?) on the undamaged and pristine hull of Steele's newest Dreadnought TITAN'S FIST after "liberating" it from some Black Void Pirates. A ship Nova Securities were more than happy to allow Ship to take command after the scion's exemplary performance and a long term contract.

Jill swears that she will get back at her cousin for this humiliation...right after some hanky panky with her cousin's dick...then back plotting and scheming for the inheritance and bringing her cousin to heel and treat her like a queen!

Regarding psionically controlled ships in media, there is a webcomic I know called "Zap in Space" which is about a psychic. In it, there are space ships that can only be captained by a psychic

But I thought it was already out due to this: https://www.fenoxo.com/little-shippy-little-shippy/ ?

Next up on my plate is actually starting to generate content for this stuff; we have overviews of many of the ships and potential weapons but none of the meaty details that are required like the interior descriptions of the ships for all the rooms that they’re now going to have, or the specifics of the weapon attack descriptions…

Tl;dr: Fen have created the ship-code, Fen have tweaked existing code to work with new code, Fen now need to implement content that's not been created yet.


Ships will come soon™ enough ;)
