Battlestar Galactica Deadlock coming this summer!

[Windigo]

knowing your turret firing arcs, fragging up the hacking vessels first, launching vipers first turn post jump and focusing fire seem to be keeping me alive

I'm about ten missions in.  So far it's OK but just OK.   There just isn't enough depth to the tactical combat engine IMO.  It's already starting to feel a little stale.  Basically, launch fighters as soon as the mission starts.  Aim your ships and their ships and fire missiles.  Hold a few back in case a scripted event triggers.  Rinse and repeat.

I find the biggest threat to my ships comes from collisions with hacking second and enemy fire not seeming very threatening at all unless you're hugely outnumbered.  Not really digging the progression either.  You can get officers and select abilities from a skill tree as they gain experience but I'm finding that taking anything other than the ones that let you field a larger fleet is a waste.

Matrix posted a roadmap for the game.

[mirth]

Shouldn't that be a star map?

[bbmike]

Frack! That's true! How many centons until they change it?

[mirth]

What a bunch of feldergarb.

I'm still grappling with what it is that I like and do not like about it, so its hard for me to be really specific. Sorry... :-[

let me help.

What are you comparing it to?
I think if the AI was a little better things would be really tense.
I love the game and find it relaxing and the engine to have everything I need, XYZ and top as well as side armour etc. It's deeper than anything else in the genre that's note the un-gratifying turn based combat.

Frak that sweater for being in the way!  #:-)   Does anybody but me notice her hair is mussed-up?

[Gusington]

Yes. The hair on her head as well.

[acctingman]

I'd do that robot  :bd:

That's a mighty fine looking toaster.

[Boggit]

Yes. The hair on her head as well.

What are you comparing it to?

Mainly to the ideal game in my mind that I'd like to play but also to these board and PC games:

Star Wars: Armada
Star Fleet Battles/Federation Commander
NEXUS: The Jupiter Incident
Sword of the Stars II
Sails of Glory
Heart of Oak/Privateers & Gentlemen
Flotilla

And others whos names aren't popping into my head right now.  None are perfet but they've all got elements I'd like to see in a game I'd want to play.

[Destraex]

Not really fair to compare it to your perfect game. But I certainly know where you are coming from.
