could we also have some sort of xenobiologist specialty for sciene officers or captains, higher chance of talking/trading?

Also, can't you get a sapient tree as a science officer?

[Duke 2.0]

 I'm wondering if skills that don't have explicit values still contribute enough to make the skill worth it? Like, for example, a theoretical alien aggressiveness modifier skill. Would such a skill only reduce things by small increments as to make it slightly useful or in major amounts so that the skills are useful but still posses some failure rate?

[Micro102]

I found gold, but cannot figure out how to sell it.

[Micro102]

nvm, figured out that i can sell it to companies.

Anyway, for a bug fix, try making it so aliens cant attack you if you launch. i pressed l for launch, and died because an alien delivered the final blow. If i'm inside the ship why s it able to attack me?

[BishopX]

I just went into a pyramid (I love these btw) and got a stranded heavy troopship message. I'm hoping this is intentional?

[magellan]

Of course it's intended, i just didn't know i intended it ....
Erm, how do you mean that exactly? you found a stranded transport in the pyramid? or you went into the pyramid and got into a stranded transport instead (there is an idea...) You got the message that you just entered a troopship, though it still looked like a pyramid? none of the above, all of the above, or answer e? 

[Shoku]

So i am the only one who thinks a pilot named George Takei is funny?
Ah well...

And yes it shows diseases
And yes, those are armor, guns, melee weapons
And I just implemented 14 of the 25 Talents they can get.

Oh I bet he's a fabulous pilot.

This would be the list as of now. Those with * are those i already implemented.

If you haven't done this you'll want to make sure that the merchant one does not grant the sell bonus at the same station you purchased things at, otherwise I could win in 0 turns~

If it's that close then you could say they're chasing you through the door as you weren't able to close it fast enough.
This sort of requires the stretch that you're taking off as soon as you can close the door and you just stand at the door until then but :/

[magellan]

Guess its propably funnier if you are aware that the chances of George Takei sitting in your pilots chair are 1 in 34200...
Thanks for pointing out the merchant skill thing! I totally didn't think of that! (oops)

[Ampersand]

It may also be a good idea to give the captain some kind of speed skill, such that when everyone else inevitably dies, he has a slightly better chance of escaping.

Thats what i tried to imagine at first, but they also automatically refill their oxygen, whcih still means they are on the sip but whatever i didn't excatly do well considering my captian was one hit away from death.

Also, how do you enter pyramids and huts?

Also, what do those knives do? Do they automatically fight, only fight when they ar enext to the thing, count towards the damage you do with the gun? Do you have to use the "f" button to shoot, can you or will you automatically melee?

[magellan]

I will look into that, though i was fairly certain monster attacks are handled before you start, so that the situation you described should not have happend.

There are 2 kinds of pyramids: those that ask "do you want to enter (y/n)" and those that don't. Huts you can't enter.

Weapons: They autoequip. Guns go top down, melee weapons bottom up, so that your captain will have the best gun, and the weakest close combat weapon, and the last redshirt will have the weakest gun and the best melee weapon.
If you use (f) they fire the guns, no melee weapons added.
If you bump into a monster they will fire the guns if they are better than the melee weapons they have and vice versa (for each member)
if you (f)ire while standing next to a monster the same thing will happen as when you bump into it.

hope that clears things up.

A speed talent ... yes, we do need that!

[Micro102]

ok forcefields and armor, are they passive and cumulative? Does the strongest go onto the captian? can you have both armor and force fields at the same time on one person?

[magellan]

Armor goes top down (strongest to captain), and all armor is the same (Ballistic suits, force fields, what have ya) so, no they don't stack. One for each... maybe some reworking of the flavor text is in order here "A spacesuit with X" in each case ...

[Micro102]

Got some stuff in rock, one says the wall is too hard, and one doesnt say anything when i shoot it. And i have a mining and laser drill....Am i missing something?
