Did you load ammunition? Are you at an alert level at which they are online? Did you put turret engines on them?

Yes, yes, and yes.

im thinking of something witty to say how interested I am, but I can't think of anything, so PTW.

[Pwnzerfaust]

Anyone figured out how to use the in-game console? I kind of want to see if there's a command to just give myself lots of money, because I want to dick around with the best ship I can make to see what's possible.

Try posting on the guy's website?  Or on the SpaceSimCentral thread?

I'm not even having much luck with Cheat Engine, so not sure I can help there.

There is a  Components directory with stats and costs for things.  I tried addind a fake iterm to the files with a negaive Base_value_m3, but this did not work.. Or maybe the starting station just did not stock that item?

You could probably just lower the cost of the things you want to buy -- and maybe raise the cost of things that you start with and want to resell.

Tried this a little, first target practice ended up most critical systems 0% on my end. It seems flying through a cloud of 20mm rounds fired from my own guns killed my ship Promising game, here.

Hi everyone, i'm the developer of Battleship Commander.

This looks fantastic - exactly my kind of game. My only hope is that they flesh this out into a proper game, rather than just a sort of 'mission' simulator.

Some months ago i added a sandbox mode.

Is there anywhere to buy hydrazine?

Nowhere until next version. I forgot to put hydrazine for sale.

I really like the armor simulator, though I wish it had foamed metal and things like that.

Right now are supported only simple uniform metals and alloy, things you can simply melt and reshape. At some point i will add more complex materials. I *really* miss face-hardened armors.

Did you load ammunition? Are you at an alert level at which they are online? Did you put turret engines on them?

Yes, yes, and yes.

Did you have a capacitor with enough charge in it? The enemy was in range and in the cone of fire of the turret? The weapon is set to autofire?

Add the line "dev_mode true" to configuration.txt. Then you can use left ctrl+k to add credits.

[mauridadde]

It seems like the best tactic is either missile/rocket spam, which are relatively expensive

They are effective but you have to be careful, the credits gained are proportional to the state of the enemy. If it is totally destroyed you risk to gain less credits than the cost of the missiles used.
This tactic is safe only with enemies up to tier 8.  Stronger enemies have lasers and may be able to shoot down all your missiles.

nice!

[Ant]

Hey mauridadde, welcome! Nice to hear from dev directly. I was wondering, would there be something like "show/edit energy distribution" in the future? When ship takes damage, it'd be nice to see what I can't support; perhaps in likeness of damage colour indicators.

[mauridadde]

Not sure i understand. Did you intend showing which components are powered or unpowered?

[Ant]

Yeah, component having power. Maybe I'm also just bad at designing ships, but half the time my ship's turrets ain't turning despite them having turret engines etc. , and I've checked also that I'm using rotating turrets. I'm not certain though, maybe it's something else, but I got this idea that it's because there's not enough power. Is that even possible?

[mauridadde]

Which version are you using? In the version released today i changed the electrical system. If you are using the 10/09/2014 version check that turret engines are powered. In the new version look at capacitor charge, if it is always near zero you do not have enough power.

Hi everyone, i'm the developer of Battleship Commander.

An astounding program sir.  Just my cup of tea.

Looking forward to seeing more.  Any hints on your end-state goals?

[LoSboccacc]

Did you load ammunition? Are you at an alert level at which they are online? Did you put turret engines on them?

Yes, yes, and yes.

I did nothing of anything. Got killed by first pirate wave.

Welcome! And thank you. This game is awesome so far.

If you don't mind, can I ask some questions about where you plan to take this?

Will there be some sort of technological progression as time goes on? For instance, moving on from nuclear reactors to perhaps fusion or antimatter down the line?

How big do you plan for the universe to be? One solar system, or multiple?

Any plans to add a multiplayer component?

Thanks in advance!

(Also, pirate cruisers are scary as hell.)

Edit: Forgot to mention, for an experiment I added Uranus and Neptune to the Sol system to see if they'd show up. They do, yay. They have proper mass values and orbits. Here's the .rar if you're interested; I included the Uranus and Neptune textures as well.
