Airship before submarine

[Finch]

Makes sense doesn't it? The sub is steampunk territory as is the airship. The sub is attached to and dropped into the sea and picked up by the airship. Just a thought.

[HoodScents]

when will the submarine come out?

flying ruins every kind of game like this

I hope they don't have any plans for an airship. Unless it's super expensive to build and is only something that's temporary.

If you want an airship, play on a private server, and when iSpeZz releases his Steam Punk mod for Atlas, you can have all the airships you like.

I figure if they ever do get around to the airship it will have no weapons and just be a platform for transferring animals between islands and utilisation of the sub. That is ofc if they can get the flying mechanics right.

i realy hope the airship doesnt happen... and if it does... cannot go over land and has passive defences only.... its a realy bad idea... pple will use them to drop into bases.

Purhaps its a hovercraft rather then a "airship" .... unlikely i know. :(

I don't think the airship is planned for the main game..

Kinda figures, I mean look at all the techno garbage they put into Ark.

That's part of the demo files for the dev kit and Unreal Engine free assets. It was in Ark as well, and they are the models iSpeZz uses in his airship in the Steampunk mod. You'll also find the tank and the spitfire in the Atlas folders, doesn't mean they plan on introducing them to the vanilla game.

The "techno garbage" was always planned to be in Ark. Tek tier is part of the over arcing story line for the game.

Yeah it's intended as an example of what modders can do at least that's what they said about it before release.. so it's in the general files to allow modders to use it on private servers.. same with the tank and ww2 plane.

But you never know it would kind of fit in with the lore unlike the tank and ww2 plane.

yes... but unlike the ww2 era things... Atlas will have a pile of steampunk.

I hope i am wrong about the airship, believe me.

How about they fix current bugs, glitchs, and balances before they add more stuff

They are. Beside that, a lot of fixes can be undermined when new content is added, essentially wasting the time the developers used to fix them. If you understood the software development cycle, you'd know that content is always added before bugs/balance is addressed, so WildCard/Grapeshot are already breaking that golden rule of software development anyway.

How about, if you're not prepared to put up with "bugs, glitches and balances" you don't play early access games.

[Flippy]

Depends if they are balanced or not. Obviously they wont have the carry weight, armor, weapons or legs of the water ships. If its balanced then its not a bad idea. Same with the subs really.
