Weapon Convergence

[Dud]

Something that would make a huge diffrence to the game would be having your weapons converge to same general point when firing them. Its pretty pointless having a ship with numerous weapon slots spread out across the body or wings all firing dead straight ahead rather than being aimed inwards to all converge at a point for maximum firepower, as is the case on fighter aircraft.

Love the game by the way.

Yes, that's something discussed before...

The forward weapons in the wings are planned to have a small arc of fire so they can converge in the centre, but not enough to widen the forward "kill zone".
The main reason this is not in yet, is to keep the game lighter.

Sorry for being a pain in the ass, but what does "keeping the game lighter" mean?

[Laious]

I´m not sure what Xyra means with lighter :) but the reason it is not in the game yet is simply because I haven't implemented. Though pretty soon I will be making different weapon slots, including cannon batteries and single limited arch mounts.

The Battleship patch. =)

[Dud]

Thanks for the clarification, really loving the game and excited about the future additions you're planning. Keep up the stellar (no pun intended) work.

[Laious]

Thanks man, have fun!

[THANKS OBAMA]

You're talking about non turreted weapons though. What you're asking for is alreadying in game, the best ship for it is the Pirate ship Corsair which has the most turreted slots out of any ships currently in game [Though I haven't seen all the new Syndicate ships though]

Turreted weapons follow the aim of your mouse, and they have limits on how many you can shove into the space.

[THANKS OBAMA]

Imo the corsair is the absolute best ship as far as the last patch went. I still gotta test out the new stuff but god, do I love that corsair.

Ow! It would be amazing if (when the game reaches version 1.0)
we could upgrade to a master edition called Stellar Valor
that includes different engine trails, ship skins / color schemes (and a mission editor).
Because dang, Stellar Valor sounds epic.
