Colony Ship Early Access Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Elhoim]

In Morgan dialogue there is an option "last chance to leave buddy" which shows no skillcheck when you pick it but shows "streetwise success" if you good enough.

It's your streetwise noticing he's bluffing, it's a "passive" check.

 

[Savecummer]

unless its a dog

jed is the dawg

 

[Savecummer]

Sharpface dialogue, in case you dont want to metagame :>
solid line is success
dotted line is fail

sadly, there aint much to optimize since you probably want that 2 computer check...

 

[Elhoim]

I could lockpick the door behind the counter, but it said it would make 10 noise. When I did it, it LOWERED everyone's detection (2 guys had empty bars, guy behind counter had around 25%). Opening and closing the door I picked and the one that was already open raised their detection.

Can't replicate, just opened the lock and it went up correctly... When the bar reaches 75% they move to find the source of the sound, and then reset to 25%, maybe that was it?

Possible. Picked the lock, killed the guy behind counter and started combat in the same turn, so they didn't have time to react.
I'll see how it works with second character.

 

[Savecummer]

why does this trigger combat?
has anyone managed to pull the fucker into a sneak kill?

I did it with a second character distracting him.

 

[Agesilaus]

There are "sneak kills"?

 

[Grotesque]

AI animated playable characters FTW!

What is this, 7 FPS?

Are you playing on a rotary telephone?

 

[Ibn Sina]

How do you join Mercy?

Elhoim you should consider removing the occlusion effects during those animations - they would look much better IMO.

 

[MrMarbles]

Just got it. It's for about $10 which is great but I really wish if I could could throw more money at VD & Co since they really deserve it.

I think I may wait a little while before I start a playthrough.

You can always get a few extra copies as gifts for others. It's what I did for AoD and DR, and will probably do with this as well when the full game is out.

Got my own copy ofc, now for the blue balls period

How do you join Mercy?

Answer comes from steam forum

Spoiler

"If you convince Mercy to betray Jonas, she'll decide not to stop half way and kill Braxton (with your help) after you kill Jonas with Braxton's help." You have to join in on the fight to kill Jonas.

They might add in another way latter

So how is the game shaping? Is it authistic as age of decadence or is it more open free to explore?

 

[Nick]

Are remappable controls planned to be implemented at some point soon?

Yes. Not in the closest days, but before Thursday 2022 for sure.

More accessible without the constant tension of the next skill check or encounter. I bet retards will still find a way to fail.

 

[Jinn]

Both playthroughs took around 9,5 hours.

Great to read, particularly since it's for both playthroughs! If you play anything like me (methodically, but still at a steady pace), then this is going to be the perfect length for me for this type of game at about 30-40 hours.

5, I was too lazy to change OBS settings

why does this trigger combat?

Ending turn on a yellow tile in sneak mode starts combat... seems retarded
Whats the point?
I will just move 1 tile, end turn, move 1 tile, end turn...

I take it that the setting is still pretty good,after all it was the strongest thing in AoD. Is it an open world like or is it like AoD's focus on starting factions ?

There are no guild questlines as something that progression revolves around. There are faction-exclusive quests and faction reputation, i.e. you can't side with a faction without pissing someone else off.

In AoD the best parts were the Old World locations. No idea how it's gonna turn out. I'm thinking of Mission Control and Environmental Control and Life Support System -- aka House Ecclesiastes. Nice touch.

Which means you have to buy it, even if you're a Slav like me and we don't normally pay for games, or Windows licenses.

Yeah,will most likely will buy it some time after release. Even bought AoD even if it was not my thing.

I've just started playing the game and I have to ask, has the Starfarer escaped from RSA or Nigeria? Because almost every character I meet is a nigger (sometimes a clone or a twin):

That would explain why according to Founding Fathers "Earth was an overcrowded hellhole".

 

[Vormulak]

Will it have the jank ass camera from age of decadence or have they finally come to their senses and are developing an isometric with a stationary camera?
