not a bug, but combat knife has a damage rating of 0.1 and a price of 25 credits, while a vibro knife has a damage rating of 0.4 (4 times more) and a price of 100 (also 4 times more). this means that there is no reason to buy a combat knife (as you can get the same damage/$ ratio with a vibro knife, but VN will provide more damage as you start to lose men or gradually upgrade to better equipment)

[Ampersand]

Say you have four security personnel, each equipped with a combat knife.

You start with each doing .1 damage for a total of .4. If you lose one member, then it drops to .3, then .2. then .1

If you had the same squad with one equipped with one Vibro knife, you get a damage rating of .4, but if the squad member with that knife goes down, your damage drops to 0 instantly, assuming the other members do not re-equip as soon as the first member falls. Additionally, each squad member has to make a successful attack roll. A squad all equipped with combat knives may have more damage output on average than a single man with a vibro knife over the long term, simply because there are more opportunities for successful rolls.

bugs:
1.as crew members die the damage rating displayed remains the same (because of how combat works it's hard to say if it's just an interface bug or a game mechanics bug. but my bet goes to it being an interface bug)
2.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was on Eden and had my oxygen nearly run out, when I tried to 'O'pen my helmets it told me it was switching to internal oxygen supply (and it decreased by 2 units per turn as is proper) but when I opened them back up the oxygen supply started increasing! (this might be a cool feature, but then the starting state of losing oxygen was the bug)

I had discovered the featureless rock (very boring planet) and the game said I found no remarkable planets in the summary. tell me this is a feature!

[Neonivek]

It may not be a bug so to say... but I always thought if you wanted to get oxygen on a planet without taking off your helmet you need a filter system..

If you got a great filter system you will notice that on planets with certain features that prevent you from getting oxygen that it can increase once you leave those features. (which is rather unique)

Goodness I really should start using spoiler tags instead of being vague.

Hmmm.... The satalite bug isn't fixed yet.

Hmmm.... The satalite bug isn't fixed yet.

Please, please, please
Tell me you have a savegame to look at? :/
Anybody else has the sat dissapear?

[BishopX]

No, but I can get one

It's cave related again I get a message saying "Cannot destroy object XXX" when I enter.

Also, there seems to be a blank starship weapon being sold on a special planet, which also doesn't have any unique text....

[thobal]

When I get combat the explosion sound effect plays over repeatedly even after exiting combat, getting blown up, starting a new life, ext.

Also, oxygen beeps no longer beep, but launch and landing and meteor impacts still play.

[magellan]

Ok, guess bugfix will find its way from my HD tomorrow, I've been quite squishy the last few days...
Can i have a savegame pretty please bishopx?

[BishopX]

I've been trying, but it seems to be intermittent (only some caves?), the cannot destroy object number message specified object 179.

[Evaristo Carriego]

Introduce booze, beards, menacing spikes and rename it Star Dorfs.

[magellan]

The 179ish thing is the location where he was told to destroy an item, but didn't find one.
... Now that i think of it it isn't that helpful of an error message...
Ah well, maybe some day I will just rewrite that part from scratch.
Anyway: 0.1.8a is out. Now with space station sick bays! (and some other bugs squashed.)

[thobal]

oh, alien whores that need protection and transport. whores that have busy schedules.

I'm dying out here. At least the new update has abandoned ships, without the biodata I'm lost.

More realistic though, I suppose...

[magellan]

you know, i always thought that firefly got canceled at just the right moment. I had the feeling that they already started to run out of ideas, and that a 2nd or even 3rd season would have just gotten staler and staler ... and i think the move was proof of that.

Please don't kill me for saying this

Anyway: so, nah... no whores

[Deon]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
*Deon has been struck down by sheer awesomeness*.

Damn! I saw this thread hundred of times and thought that it's something like a mining simulator roguelike which I saw a lot. And today, bored and almost sleeping at work, I finally open this thread and look at a Youtube video.... HOW COULD I MISS IT!

Man, space exploration game where you look for lifeforms and rare plants and minerals is the game I wanted to have all my life! Too bad there's no really good game like that, mostly arcades or adventures only and they lacked random factor.

I am going to be one of your best fans now .

Say, are flora/fauna species randomly generated by templates or is there some kind of a template database? Is there a way for you to make those templates moddable? Even in the code as an additional file, I can code a bit. I simply enjoy modding and it would be fun to allow us to make and share creature designs and plant descriptions, it would allow the world to grow faster and to make it more interesting for others.
