So bows are specifically used to obtain meat. Why wouldn't guns do the same? Hopefully bows are just as good as other weapons for straight up combat, and aren't just for when you need meat. It might also be nice if a hunting rifle could actually be used for hunting, and that meat isn't a bows-only reward. Like maybe these weapons could just have a "hunting" mod that enables meat? idk. It's really nice that you have to use the switch for doors that have wiring.
Am I the only one that finds the effects of the two weapons rather... odd? The effect with the axe just doesn't look very fluid to me, it almost just looks like a skull is just teleporting across the ground, when I feel it should almost have some sort of wave like effect? And the effect for the sword looks more like the graphic should be in the foreground rather than the background?
I really hope we'll be able to colour our ships. I really want to have the KLBSP L.I.B.P.A.A.I.Q.F.A.A.A.T.C.A.D.F.A.A.C be blue.
To everyone wondering why the floran ship looks so boring/ like the apex ship. (an exert from "Meet the Florans" Florans, who frequently salvage or reverse engineer the technology they bring to enable their colonisation of the stars. Introducing space travel to the primitive Florans had the undesired effect of Floran colonies spanning across star systems, They take other races ships. The fact that the ship looks the way it does is flavourful. ON ANOTHER NOTE. STILL FOR BETA!
Have to say, Avian ship is my favourite (now I just need to mod the red jewels to be blue and it'll be perfect )
Curious... Do you only tell the tales of space adventurers who die? ...Or do the space adventurers die because you tell their tale? *shiver*
@CF: Do yourselves a favor and save the balancing tweaks to be sorted out in beta. Y'only got five weeks and some change to prevent a shitstorm, and there's not even a sign of a beta date yet.
Just to breeak with the tradition here, i like to actually Talk about the Updates made. All in all it really sounds nice and well rounded.its good to have Melee weapons that double as ranged weapon since i am not a fan of games were everyone is forced to use guns cause everyone else do (if you know what i mean) One point thought: Meat is earned through the use of hunting bows. It’s a pretty good food source, so start practicing your archery Does that mean that we HAVE to shoot animals with the hunting bow in order for them to drop Meat? i would'nt like that very much since i prefer melee hunting and i think it makes it kind of needlessly complicated. Maybe it just means that they will drop more meat if they are hunted with the bow. All in all i am very looking forward to the Beta release .Hang im there guys ,its only a max 5 weeks wait now,not vere long. Soon we will enjoy this fine game.:catface2:
so more feature creep, beta talk is a lure for more pre orders they fully intend to leave us waiting much longer let me know when beta actually lands
i'd say, the animations (the after-effect) or so to say, need a frame or 2 more. they feel like a 1-frame image blink thing now :\ is it just the gif, or actually ingame framerate?
Yeah, that's one of a few things this update that look like they need to fixed. Another example would be the fact that it sounds like the only way to obtain meat will be via hunting bows.
Leth (Wanderlust Dev) is streaming Starbound soon!!!! Keep in mind this is pre-beta so it's full of bugs!
