And yes, that is their standard armament. Whats wrong with it? (Those are not the new space faring aliens. The new ones are a bit more varied as to ship design, weapons, and fleet composition)

There's nothing wrong with them having BFGs on warships. Nothing at all. In fact, I expect them to have them on warships.

But a scout! A SCOUT! Usually when you think of a scout You think: "Oh hey, this guy should die easily, or at the very max be troublesome.". If they have SCOUTS WITH WEAPONS THAT CAN DESTROY YOU IN SECONDS, why don't they own the galaxy yet?

Note: I'm not mad, I'm just surprised that a SCOUT beat me in one hit.

They're an advanced civilization. Scouts are probably expected to encounter dangerous lifeforms. Their larger ships -would- be even more deadly. Its like complaining that infantry today have assault rifles but in the 1800s they has muskets. Not the best comparison, but you get the point.

Actually, it would be complaining that your enemy has repeating rocket launchers when you've only got repeating pistols.

[magellan]

Yeah, thats the Idea.
A warship would be more like "The Vorlons are using their planet killer"

I think AT MAX they should have X-Ray lasers. I mean, a single X-Ray is already quite powerful. I'd consider Disintegrators overkill if I were the designer of the scouts.

Also: Dieing to anyone but pirates in a space battle (like the aliens we've been talking about) always leads to "Died while trying to be a pirate". Which makes no sense.

[Vertigon]

Played for 5 hours straight just now. It's my first time, and I love it!

[niltrias]

The main new thing is alien spacefaring civilisations.
+ some miscelaneous small stuff.

Hooray!
Sounds awesome!

I just renamed them "ancient alien scout ships" (It was indeed alien scout ship) you know what? I'll leave out the scout thing too! How would you know what it's original purpose was anyway? Ancient alien ship. You are right, Tarran, their current name is misleading.
Anyway: thats the reason they have disintegrators: because that was the weapon of choice of their civilisation
and for those who don't know why they are there in the first place:

Just sain: defeating those ships is what leads to a happy ending in the retirement story

[Lordinquisitor]

Oh, i haven`t played prospector in a while. It should be the right thing to kill my boredom. 

[magellan]

Arise, my dead thread! Your master calls!
Ha! My necromancy powers are unparalleled.

Anyway i thought some folks here might want to know this: 0.1.13 is availiable for download. And I think i found and fixed the ghost doctor bug, and some others. Enjoy!

[Deon]

Sure we want! This game is awesome. I am just a bit busy with Shores of Hazeron, as a man who develops a space game you should definitely check it.

[Cheese]

This looks awesome, dling

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Cool, I was sad when this thread died. This month I do not have much time because of the crawl tournament but when that's over I will so get my game on.

[Tarran]

Glad to see you're not dead like the thread.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

[BishopX]

So far I like the new stuff. But how do you examine the stats on alien weapon you find? Also did you up play with the meteorite setting because I'm seeing 3-10 meteors per planet now.
