Didn't see the steam group yesterday, and thanks Neyvyn for the info, might try it out sometime. Harpoon on the Pyramidion just seemed to hamper our efforts in fighting people as it would make the ship controls unresponsive especially when the enemy ship got at weird angles.

Played through the tutorials, is there any boarding in this or is it just ship to ship?

Also, can you mix sexes on your characters?  What if I want a lady pilot but man gunner and engineer?

Spent some extra time playing last night, practicing up the guns. On a side note, why are all the engineers so incompetent? >.>
I have learned to use  the mortar and the flamethrower. If you can get a good angle, those weapons are absolutely FANTASTIC!

One thing I have noticed experienced pilots doing is keeping an eye on their hull armor, and booking it (with moonshine?) very quickly when it breaks. It makes actually KILLING them extremely hard.

And yes. Stop by the group. I made a trial event for later today, mostly to see how the timing works for people.


This game is a lot of fun with a good crew. I look forward to more :D

No boarding, EVER. The devs are against boarding. It takes away from ship-to-ship battle.

You get one character per account and each class is not really a new character but the same one with different role.

You can change your character's gender in the character thingy, but it's annoying having to switch between them if you want one for specific classes. I just stick with the gents.

As for ship to ship, another similar game does it but I've never tried it... something buccaneers?

I don't know anything about that game.

Group joined, waiting for orientation training (even though I've had a decent bit of practice at this game).

Much as I'd like to, there's no way I can show up to the orientation event at 11:00, sorry.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

The event is in part for me to get a feel towards other peoples' schedules. Have a look in the group when you have time, you may well be able to find a crew of 4 to fly with.

Event starts in 5 and a half hours. I should probably cram in some sleep so I can justify it as getting up early, rather than staying up late.

Do you guys use voice chat often when playing? Also, I've seem to have forgotten, but does the game have in-game VOIP?
