NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Some of the best features - ever - excluded! Curses! Curses! If only I was here I could have tested this!
Blast you lazy bums. Curse you. CURSE YOU!

[Droid803]

So, we're stuck with retarded turrets.
Wonderful.

[Narwhal]

That will be for 3.6.11

Speaking of curse, when will we be able, like in Wing Commander, to insult of the radio the Vasudians and the NTF guys "You've going to suck vacuum, ... er.... sucker !". Not the Shivans of course, they wouldn't understand anyway and I always imagined them as being anaerobic

To be honest I'd rather have a bug-free build than a build with hundreds of features with hundreds of bugs for each.

I would too. Go for stability first, then add new stuff once all the dust has settled. It's a bit like running a theme park if you ask me.

Except it wasn't a either-or scenario. We could have had both.
But ya lazy bums messed it up.

I think they should add all the features they can, and then bugfix them all.
that way you don't have to worry about certain features messing up  other ones.

I think I should get a million dollars.

See, I can make unrealistic demands too!

So, you'd do it if I gave you a million?

There you go. Do it slowly; don't throw everything in at one go, otherwise it'll just be a huge mess that will take forever to sort out.

[WMCoolmon]

I think we should add all the features that we can't, and then bugfix them all.

I'm done with my share already.

[Goober5000]

So, you'd do it if I gave you a million?

That doesn't follow from what I said; it's an independent question.

But yes, I would.  Cash up front.

you know, with all the new features just barely missing 3.6.10, if you guys go out and test them all, you could warrant a 3.6.11 within 6 months, instead of 2 years, depending on what else Taylor and the other big timers have planned for it.  No reason we can't have a 3.6.12 after that for any other longer term stuff though.  Just keep releasing builds until 3.7 is done is what I think.  We should have a month or two of committing features, and then bugfix, release.  Commit more features, bugfix, release.  The cycle really needs to be shortened, then no one would care so much when a feature doesn't make the cut for the next release.

[Topgun]

that's a good idea.
I second! not that my vote means anything.

I was just thinking. The AI shifting the shield power to whichever quadrant that was getting attacked doesn't need to be AI dependent (sort of like how automatic targeting isn't AI dependent). It could just be an automatic feature in the game for how all craft handle. If quadrant x gets struck then boost power to quadrant x with power from quadrant y. Maybe A1 would find this handy as well?

This brings to mind automatic power adjusting. Something like if the AI is doing an all out assault and runs low on weapons energy, it'll divert power from another system automatically. If weapons energy gets below a certain percentage divert power from a system that's in the least use automatically. A1 would find this less handy, but noobs might like it.

AI would take longer to kill with both of these features.

I feel that their maneuvering skills need more work then combat skills, IMHO. Combat needs some tuning, but yeah. It shouldn't be so easy to stalk ships.

Just to verify, anyone commenting has played on insance, correct?

Played Insane with cheating, yes.

[eliex]

On FS1 you can play on Insane with the easy/moderate missions. In FS2, anything with beams is instant death on Insane.
