Second thor mission impossible?

[rubyismycat]

ive tried several time i have 10 points in speed even using speed boosters aswell those six ships go at 14000 i can hardly catch them at all this mission is ridiculous can i have a cheat code for it please

[rubyismycat]

PS if i wanted to play a bloody racing game i would have bought one

I do not remember any kind of racing.
If there is an escort mission and the eescorts fly faster than you (in PTE) something is wrong with your game.

[rubyismycat]

no you have to destroy six convoy ships before they leave its just impossible i have to press b just to match their speed but cant attack then of course also grapple malfunctions

What level are you? Titans DLC is late game content, so if it's too much of a challenge on 65, you can try it on lvl 75 or 80.

[rubyismycat]

lv 77 i just tried a different titan mission but got killed on 3rd stage im gonna cry now ;O(

[Zenoslaf]

The Rev made a tutorial, maybe you'll see something you missed. I played Titans on lvl 80 with pimped up Tzar carrier, and it was still challenging, but doable.

Titans are supposed to be the best ships in game, and they are, but it would be unrealistic if you can obtain them too easy. Fighting them requires tactics and patience. And yes, it's not easy, I know, but you'll get there eventually.

[rubyismycat]

its ok i went for the other titan and got it chasing stuff arround is annoying and boring thanks anyway

[Zenoslaf]

It's faster when you're on lvl 80 pimped out ship. And every Titan storyline is different. :)

Since Titans was the last DLC for SPG2, most people were already on max level and with much experience in the game so they didn't had any problems, but I understand how new ayers might find it a bit too challenging. It's not easy, I agree.

[rubyismycat]

TBH with you as a noob i can say this that i love the deep complexity of this game its awsome please dont make a moron version ever BUT some of the missions you rate as lv 60 or lv 70 would be far better off rated at lv 80 plus otherwise there is a lot of annoying frustration in this game and i dont play games to get annoyed im trying to have fun lol

[Zenoslaf]

You're not a noob, you're high level, but there are people with 2-3000 hours in the game and they know it inside out. They are really veterans, much better then any of us in the dev team.

Some stuff that was annoying is already changed in Warlords with plenty more to come. Two biggest annoyances, based on player's feedback were stutters while crossing sectors and inability to skip cutscenes, and that is already addressed in Warlords.

Blueprints were also too grindy with too low drop chance. Picking missions in the middle of space was unrealistoc ao in Warlords you get missions on every station which is much more realistic. Stuff like that.
We will make officers much deeper, not just plain bonuses on paper.

Scale was a bit off in SPG2, in SPGW everything is much bigger, that was also requested by the players. All in all, we have a fantastic and friendly community always eager to help and that is also important. :)

[rubyismycat]

i saw you are building a player hub thats great but imo what would be awsome is the ability to build or design your own ships there within certain peramiters of course. Being able to choose the look of your ship its colour its size and what weapons etc it can support given its size and power those kind of choices i think most players love that way you could tailor your ship to precisely match your own playstyle :O)

[Zenoslaf]

You will be able to build research module on your hub and then research and build your own ships. Whole fleet with proprietary design that nobody but your faction will have.
So yes, that's planned.

[Zenoslaf]

And of course you'll be able to cuatomize your ship, similar to SPG2. Name, colors, logo...

[rubyismycat]

ok fantastic i no longer need to worry that egosoft are smoking crack i got you guys to make me space happy now :O)

[Zenoslaf]

Well to be honest, after some starting hiccups, X Rebirth is now a pretty decent game. Especially after Teladi Outpost, things got much better.

It offers a different experience, more in-depth economy but slower pace and progression. Both games have their pros and cons and I respect Egosoft for all the good and inspiring games they have done. :)
