So there are still people who need a copy of this right?

4-pack is only 15 dollars, so I'll grab that and distribute a key or two if anyone wants them (and use the others to try and lure in friends, heheh).

Girlinhat, you said you needed one?

[Ozyton]

DFC steam chat?

Game is downloading, friend requests sent! I am Disarcade.

Also I may have one or two copy (the 4-pack is too good a deal), let me know if you want it.

Think part of Greatorder's pack was going to me.  You can send me a code and if I get a spare I'll just hand it back out again though.  Not like I'm gonna instal the game twice and play as an engineer and a gunner at the same time and-

HHHHHMMMMMMM! I have some thinking to do!

I used to play this in beta quite a bit, but stopped playing after awhile because I pretty much got bored with it. It's a fun game and all and I'd like to start playing the more refined version that's available now, but I don't really feel this game is worth a purchase. If it was F2P, it'd be entirely different.

Weren't they originally planning to go F2P in the first place though? I remember talk of implementing some kind of cash shop into the game to fund it, or something along the lines of that.

And started a group while I'm at it. I'll invite people as I go!

[GlyphGryph]

Yeah don't really want to go through Df chat if we can have our own group for the game. Send me invites yo, let's do this thang.

[Girlinhat]

Got game now.  Girlinhat on EVERYTHING I ever play so don't act like you can never find me.  Invite me to your Ship of Questionable Structural Integrity and let's start to question other fools' ships!

[Shadowlord]

Thanks, greatorder! Also, sent a friend invite to you, girlinhat. (My sig says who I am on Steam if you're getting multiple friend invites and are trying to figure out who is who)

[GlyphGryph]

Still got extra key for anyone who wants it!

Eh, I'll bite. Sort of interested to see how the game has progressed since beta.

[Ozyton]

I forget, are in-game names different than steam ones? I seem to remember having to register a different name thingy. So, in-game friends name could be different for people.

Our er....training went well! This game is fun, and Girlinhat is an ace pilot. Also mortars suck.

WE NEED MORE PEOPLE! The smallest match you can have is 8v8 players, but if we get the lot of you in, we can do just that!

Each ship takes 4 people. Join the Steam group, join the chat, and get blown to tiny bits take over the skies!

EDIT: I have 2 copies to give away!

EDIT2: Any thoughts on the guns/ships? Here's what I tried:

Scylla Double-Barreled Mortar - this thing hits really hard.... if you can hit. It has a very low arc, slow turn speed and slow projectile speed. Takes skill, and decent range

Artemis Light Rocket Launcher - this is essentially your standard FPS rocket launcher. Easy to use, easy to hit, deals OK damage

Banshee Light Rocket Carousel - this thing is so much fun to use However, it doesn't seem to do a lot of damage. It's a great gun and I intend to spend more time with it

I haven't played in a long while so things may have changed, but it seems the Lumberjack can be used to basically 1-shot the enemy's balloon and immobilize them at which point they're screwed.

I enjoyed using the Pyramiddion (sp?) as a ramming ship, harpoon at front left, some random pre-harpooning gun at the front right, then after harpoon engage at short range with the gun on the left. (Harpoon at the left should theoretically bounce the ship in a way that it can use the side gun).

I might come on if you guys are still playing.

EDIT: My friend likes using the Spire. Its vertical nature means it can turn pretty decently and it has fairly good coverage with its gun arcs. It also sports a large mount which means you can mount the dual cannon I forget the name of. Use the engineer to buff that gun just before using it and you can do some serious damage.

On a side note, don't underestimate the gattling gun thing, it does piddly squat to just about everything and feels weak but it tears hull armor to splinters.

[Girlinhat]

Played a random match, equipped the front-wall ship with 2 gattlings, 2 mortars, and a harpoon.  Unfortunately I got stuck with two AI and a noob human, but when the AI would stay on position those gattlings would SHRED the enemy.  Flamethrowers also did a LOT of damage and would keep the crew busy making repairs instead of shooting back - the enemy was hitting me with flames.

Getting into short range isn't a problem, I think gattlings are the real power gun, and rocket carousels and mortars when you wait until you're very close.
