Quicksilver6
Rear Admiral
Hello, I'm posting this here as the FAQ said. Before I start, I'd just like to say I like this project, and if I complain about something, it's not because I think it sucks but because I'm hoping by telling you what I think about the game you'll improve it and make it the best fan game ever.
But Anyways, let me get started.
Things I like:
It's pretty much privateer all over again, and it definately has that old-timey feel; a good thing in this case. All the ships, weapons, and stations are the same, which is great. I can see there's a definate effort here to make the project professional. I like the graphics, they're all well done. Above all else, it's FUN, also I actually want to keep playing this. That's the best compliment I think I can make.
Things that need work:
Is it just me, or does combat take FOREVER, even against a single talon? It just seems to take much more hits then I remember to destroy enemy ships. Also, I notice they do things I can't, like strafe, not shelton slide, STRAFE, and reverse thrust really fast before ending on my tail, something I can't seem to do. This makes combat not fun to do and makes the game less fun then it should be. In fact, it makes combat very, very frustrating. Every single other ship has a way higher refire rate then mine for some reason. Missiles are way, way, way too slow. I can't use dumbfires unless I'm really close, and when that happens, I take splash damage! Speaking of missiles, their range is ridiculous, reaching into the tens of thousands of meters. I can shoot at them when I can't even see them. Also, is it just me, or does it take FOREVER to make enough money to buy a new ship?
In summary
--- Combat: Too long, AI seems to be able to do things Player can't (reverse, Strafe, better guns) COMBAT IS WAY TOO FRUSTRATING
--- Missiles: Too slow, range too long.
--- Gameplay: takes too long to make financial progress(Could just be player error on my part)
Well, That's all I have to say besides "Don't get discouraged" and "keep it up"
Thanks!
