What are your gripes/criticism of TiTs?
- Thread starter TheInfamousImmortal
- Start date
So are a lot of other possible recruits. It's pretty easy to have more possible gunners than you have Turrets, which leads to your Crew apparently taking turns (who shoots is randomized).
Aim and Intelligence.
You don't have to Flirt/Arm Wrestle or go on a bender to recruit Ramis.
Choose 'Back Off', then approach again. 'Recruit' will be available.
The only difference is she demands 2K more Credits.
I was thinking a different way to gaining the Ghost Deck quest was for the player to look around the Steele Tech office on Tarkus until they notice a codex with a diagram of the Nova ship. Anno gets defensive about it but the player insists that Anno admits what was on the codex, to which Anno confesses which unlocks the Ghost Deck quest.
For Syri, if you beat her enough times in holo-games, the player can refuse to have sex and instead say it was merely bragging rights, which surprisingly made Syri chuckle. Regardless, Syri commends the player's skills and shakes their hand.

Might be closer on the horizon than one might think, now I'm working on the Nasti/Riya expansion...
Honestly if I had to say, it'd be the whole "your the heir to a megacorp and must go out to earn your inheritance" premise. I'd personally really love a more loose story option where we can choose our own background, like for example maybe we're a slumrat working our way up, or a freelance agent taking jobs where we can, etc. Obviously the whole game is built around being a Steeletech Heir so I highly doubt this will ever be considered outside maybe a mod or even TiTS2 if that becomes a thing. Something like CP2077 backgrounds comes to mind in practice tbh. Hell, even just like a questionaire style which you get to pick specific parts of your history and reasons for going on the rush.
I'm well aware this is extremely conflicting with how the game is built from its core, so I doubt this will ever be considered, but its easily my biggest gripe/criticism. I just really like playing the underdog and going from nothing to everything personally, and having a hard-coded background is pretty darn limiting for character rp.

You already do choose your background, which is your class, I mean the smuggler and merc are, but how would you be connected to steel tech? You being a steel is a big part, I like the story the way it is honestly
Doesn't that literally change the entire backstory perhaps even the point of the game (of Steele) if that happened? It just wouldn't be the same.
Characters that new daddy Steele would have to be changed which then would change their character far too much.
Ex. Shade & Anyx would no longer be relatives of Steele. Anno would just be a random NPC.
Might as well play a different game all together.
Additionally the game only really happens BECAUSE Steele is well.... Steele.
A lot of gameplay only happens because of that for instance:
We have easier time with Transformations and handling Taint of Lessau's micro-agents and because Steele is a designer baby who has the time to go planet rushing.
We only go for those planets BECAUSE we know there is a probe there or other shit to fuck around and find out.
We have more leeway to do things because of our surname among many other things.
Tbf you still are an under-dog, Dad gave us shit and made us go on a wild goose chase for our "infinity money" inherritance, and you can simply kinda go "fuck you" to your dad through head canons (he did try to make us go through a pre-determined fate and lifestyle afterall)
Sometimes it feels like combat is too easy. The combat loss scenes are some of the hottest in the game imo, and intentionally losing or creating a weaker character just doesn't elicit the same feeling as getting those scenes after a fight where you really feel as if you were unquestionably bested by your opponent. I wish there was an option to increase difficulty.
I feel like I've complained about this before, but the Gryvian Techie on FIRST-14 is in a bit of a rough state. I believe that the focus with her is "your weapons will be severely hampered by her shields, so you need to use teasing." However, if you do not unequip your clothes, and don't start out with Ice Cold, you end up with an abysmally low hitrate with your teases, and when they do land it's somewhere around 12 lust build-up. It makes the Techie practically unbeatable when you start out if you don't know to strip down until you're completely naked (or if you don't take Ice Cold).
And this is the tutorial area, effectively, with her seemingly being designed to teach you to use teasing given the shield regen and its accompanying message. There's nothing, as far as I can tell, which tells new players "hey, before you walk around, you should actually start streaking," so instead, many new players will just end up getting beaten down without recorse. Hell, even if you're not new, if you just forget that the optimal strategy against her is to take up the nudist lifestyle, you'll still probably end up loosing to her.
The point is: The Gryvian Techie needs to be significantly weaker to teases, or at least be much easier to hit with them, because every bit of signposting around her is trying to say "don't attack, just tease," but you need to strip or take Ice Cold to actually effectively do it.
