Vehicle Combat

So it says on the information list that a player owned UFO will be used for large scale terraforming and other things. It also says that orbital strikes will be able to be called down onto the surface of planets. This makes me think and I have a few questions for the community to speculate on.

1) What do you think of possible vehicle combat? Either with your UFO or a possible otherwise (Rocket, hovership, ATV, etc)

2) Will there be/would you like there to be massive planet battles?

3) Should you be forced to defend your space station using your UFO as sort of a combat mission?

EDIT: Should this go under the vehicle suggestion section?

 

1. the big mech suggests it's possible

2. depends what you mean with "massive", since it's a 2d sidescroller massive battles would just be a big random mess imo.

3. no clue tbh, but i don't think so.

 

I'll bet that there's going to be huge mecha battles. But this is just based on the fact that there are mechas in the game.

 

like a warthog from halo

 

I guess there will be. Otherwise mechas would be overpowered. Anyway, I'm in for any kind of vehicle-battle, adds more fun to the game!

 

Hopefully there will be a possibility to blow up planets with NUKES that come from the UFO xD

 

I really hope for big fliyng vehicles and you can choose of many different!!!

 

1) I agree with Mech combat, and maybe being able to shoot things while riding your hoverbike, but not with your Spaceship... I don't think that would play out very well. It's just for travelling and escaping. They COULD put a minigame in one of the rooms (think Club Penguin ) that's shooting asteroids on the way that you can win money from (again, CP), otherwise, naww...

2) Massive planet battles? Well, seeing as planets will be seeds (but coords), I highly doubt it. What if you destroy a planet that your friend later tells you is pretty cool/resourceful? Planets are entirely unexplained also, so this is a little bit of a touchy subject.

3) As far as I know, your space station IS your spaceship (UFO). I don't think you use planets for setting up base.

4) No, I'd say this fits. It's discussion, not suggestions, although they can be taken that way.

 

I think a dropped item like a mana star from Terraria? But even rarer! A mini bike/ufo item would be pretty awesome !

Nah this is discussion not suggestion

I demand large scale Mech Battles!

 

Like Mech Quest xD (MechQuest is a cheesy in browser robot battling game ) But maybe a mini game type of thing?

DIMENSION SIZED COMBAT for the fun of it... but how would it work?

 

Vehicle Combat? Super Robot Taisen! And fighting with swords

 

Honestly, I can't really think of how vehicles would work well in a 2d game like this, other than faster moving.

 

Idk too, but it must be fun as long as you have smooth ground under your vehicles' feet/wheels.

 

1) What do you think of possible vehicle combat? Either with your UFO or a possible otherwise (Rocket, hovership, ATV, etc)
Just ye ol lazer cannons, gattling cannons, swarmers, heat seaking rockets/missles/torpedos, universe destroying death ray.

2) Will there be/would you like there to be massive planet battles?
A massive planet battle sounds like something I'd want to avoid. So no.

3) Should you be forced to defend your space station using your UFO as sort of a combat mission?
Does it HAVE to be done with a UFO? I'd preffer manning a mounted weapon from my base.

 

1) As I said before, I'd love to fight with swords. In mech, of course.
2) Um... no.
3) Terraforming (forming terrain) with your own UFO sounds good, and is more creative imo. I mean, you just don't sit in one place and, say, draw terrain that you like, but you modify it by appropriate laser beams. Or shovel. Whatever.

 

If the player owned a Unidentified flying object.. wouldn't the player know what it is? there for canceling the U of UFO...

 

It will be IFO then.

 

If you identified it why would you consist on calling it a Identified flying object... when clearly its a "I would prefer the term, Craft used for interplanetary travel" Spacecraft.
