Do you have to man the turrets? I know it’s an option, but how important is it?

3127

Nope, they autotrack. You can man them if you want though.

3128

Yea it is so awesome when you’re in a ship with multiple turrets. You see all your own tracers flying by your windshield.

Funny how he named that new version of the platypus that has all the turrets the SPaZ for those spazzes who can’t shoot for shit if their lives depended on it.

3130

Actually he named it after a guy named Spaz who, I think, did a lot of QA. But I get your point.

3131

Hell, you convinced me. I’m sticking with the Foxbat. Just upgraded the power plant to a 3. Make some more cash and upgun her. I just love to hear the enemy threaten me and in the next breath say something like, I’m out of here. Then Noooooooo! BOOM!

3132

It’s named after my podcast co-host Spaz, who was the first to go through the entire game in a Platypus.

Sir.

3133

That is so cool, Brian!

3134

That is bloody amazing. Tell him Bally good show from me, old chap! /Twirls RAF mustache.

3135

I’m surprised that there are updates with additional ships so quickly. Where are the elaborate commercials for them?

3136

Hahaha for real!

3137

When SC goes belly-up, who will buy their assets/ship models?

3138

But imagine the stories they’ll tell their grand children! Priceless!

3139

So my Foxbat now has a level 3 power plant. So the loadout is 2 auto cannons, two photon cannons, a gauss gun, a swarm launcher and a combat laser turret. Face, prepare to be melted.

3140

No, I mean which dev is going to buy all of RSI’s stuff? Their game engine is most likely worthless, but their static assets could theoretically be used in other projects.

In fact, we could all pitch in a few bucks so @dsmart can put them in UC2. Or better yet start a Kickstarter campaign!

(I guess someone might want the IP and mocap narrative bits too.)

3141

Reality is that people buy stuff based on the value of the product (perceived or otherwise), not the value put into producing the product. So I guess all those gifs and the 3d models will go for a buck?

3142

How in the world someone could beat a couple of the story missions in a Platypus I’ll never know. That’s a hell of an achievement.

3143

Now I’m pissed off. Doing the protect Orzu’s shipment, finally. In a Foxbat. All power to shields. I have 4 out of six cops down. I get close to the fifth one… I do not have my finger on the fire button for other weapons.

I get on the tail of the police ship, real close, and fire the EMP. Police ship blows up. WTF? Mission failed? The bleeding fuck?

3144

Aw man, I drop out of the thread and I see Brian delivered a drunk Privateer video? I’m all over that.

While I’m here, we got any news on an Xbox port?

3145

Figured out the issue. I have a turret. I have to remove that sucker.
