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

[Cpt. Dallas]

The big crate can't be moved using strength only.

Only the smaller one in level 2 can be moved with full party.

Jed (?) had higher strength than my PC and I brought him down there later. It's the only stat check I recall that allowed only one attempt.

I don't think you understood me.

There are two crates in the Armoury. One on Level 1 - let's call it A - and one on Level 2 - B.

A can only be moved using the crane's control panels at the entrance to the Armoury. It has no actual skill check when interacting with it.

B can be moved either through the Juggernaut feat or with multiple party members and should allow you to interact with it multiple times.

Are you referring to A or B?

 

[Marat]

B can be moved with Juggernaut feat? I didn't know that. I hoped that 11STR character would be able to move it on his own but no dice.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

I see what you mean. I'm talking Crate A, in the 'entrance' level, will 'tab highlight', and respond with 'it's too heavy to move' (or somesuch) but not a true dialogue. It won't highlight after that. So it seems it's not a real stat check, then. Thanks.

We had a bit of a talk about this the other day. I mostly pushed to keep it "Heroic Feat" only, plus also adding extra interactions for heroics all around the game. The group check is 20, and even if it can be argued than a single guy would need a lower check due to "concentrated force", even 11 seems a bit too little.

 

[Pink Eye]

That reminds me. What are your guys thoughts on giving companions access to heroic feats?

 

[Marat]

Heroics are only available on character creation so it would seem companions won't get to pick any, but maybe they could have one by default. Besides PC is the hero of the story and companions are just his companions thus he gets the heroic feat. Who needs a party of two Cult Leaders?

 

[Elhoim]

We still haven't designed the late game companions stats, but it might be a possibility that one might have a heroic feat (or maybe gifted).

Thanks! Gifted on a companion sounds pretty nice.

 

[Elhoim]

Yeah, the main point is to make them all desirable choices. I think we did pretty well with the current 3, so the ones that will come later will have to bring something interesting to the table to "dethrone" a character you have been building up during Chapter 1.

Vault Dweller how is the new location coming along? Are you still releasing it this month?

Would be cool to get companions a heroic feat if you manage to complete a special side quest with then.

That's a good idea...

 

[jackofshadows]

I'd say to limit heroic feats and implants very strictly for companions, overall balance purpose wise.

While at it, PC must also romance them and act as their therapist.

On track so far. We need about 2 weeks to finish it, a week to test it internally and improve based on testing.

No need to shove your salami inside the npc or behave like Billy Crystal on Analyse this, help then complete an ambition that can be translated into a dangerous mission, a heist, recover a piece of gear etc etc.

 

[Pink Eye]

It doesn't sound that far fetched. We have precedence with Faythe. If you run her revenge quest. Then get her to assassinate the guy who murdered her pops. She can get access to two unique strong feats - supporting combat playstyle, or sneak. Which one you get depends on how you interacted with her afterwards.

 

[Rahdulan]

Some whining about the to-hit chances, but overall positive.

 

[The_Mask]

I bought this a few minutes ago.

After I play it, prepare to get your anuses burnt with my opinions.

 

[Pink Eye]

Good luck! What build do you plan on starting out with?

 

[The_Mask]

Good luck! What build do you plan on starting out with?

Fists only. Joking. I know I can't.

If I can't play my monks, I usually resort to druid-like stuff. So something mildly intelligent, mildly charismatic and very wise. Mediocre or even below average combat stats.

But I plan to see how combat feels too, so I might do 2 runs. 2nd with a combat-oriented bloke.

 

[The_Mask]

HOLY FUCK this character creation screen. *Sorin falls off chair*

 

[Pink Eye]

>If I can't play my monks, I usually resort to druid-like stuff. So something mildly intelligent, mildly charismatic and very wise.
In that case. I suggest specializing into a high CHA/INT build. So ten in both stats. This type of build will allow you to avoid combat, and focus on the story aspect of the game. I wouldn't encourage a hybrid build until you get the hang of the mechanics.

 

[glasnost]

I love the premise and background setting for the game. I'm glad I went into this with essentially no foreknowledge at all (I knew I was going to buy it wnen it was announced).

I wish I could select numbered options via the numeric keypad.
I also wish I could pan the camera around with the arrow keys.

Also also wish the game's audio wouldn't mute when I switched to a different program, but that's not as important to me as the keyboard controls.
