Indeed. The tristan needs a better tank of some sort, or railguns... really long range railguns, with insane damage... or something.
Maybe it needs missile launchers?

I think there is an issue with missile launcher use, which is why no ships have them yet. Once he figures out the launchers im sure the caldari side will open up the same release. Tristan would benifit greatly having a launcher and losing a gunl.

When I'm at the ship selection screen, I click and double click on the ship I want and nothing happens. Doesn't work for any of the ships.

Campaign mode does not feature enemies spawing from directions other than the north side, goonswarm featurens npcs comming from all sides.
Intentional - the first three missions involving attacking enemy forces head-on. I'm perfectly capable of spawning enemies from anywhere on the campaign, I just haven't done so yet.
Quote:
Goonswarm Powerup would be allied ship spawn, however might be useless as they might get isntapopped.
I've been thinking about powerups for Goonswarm Mode...one possibility is to spawn a Titan off-screen and have it DD everything. 
Quote:
Campaign lvl 2 needs a slight tone down with the boss fight, reduce the number of comorants and have them spawn at other times such as with black bird.
I've already adjusted spawn times and reduce the number of spawns on level 2, that should make things a bit easier.
Quote:
Goonswarm needs little bit of staggering in the escalation to make it enjoyable.
Done - enemies now increase at half their previous rate
Quote:
New powerup suggestions is weapon upgrades to increase rate of fire or range or speed of shots.
Okay, I'll work on that. 
Quote:
A possible another powerup unsure if you can program it or not is drone control links this will grant the use of drones + whatever number you feel is balanced even non drone boats can use it.
Not sure about this one, I THINK I could program it in. I'm also working on fitting drone ships with an extra set of drones as well.
Quote:
A temporary mission select window would help with troubleshooting and balancing of missions (might be permanent if you can make a unlock feature)
Good idea, I'll try and do that for the next version.
Quote:
Music needs to stop when you die or complete mission and antoehr track needs to play. Enter key needed to go though the clone screen, possibly other functions of the clone screen can be used as well.
Fixed for the next version.
Quote:
I cant hear normal noises if there are supposed to be any.
None at the moment, I will hopefully have some more in the upcoming version.
Quote:
More backgrounds needed for ship selection mission breifing game over and missions, I dont care if they are static just every mission seems need a different one, also are you able to do a very large picture loop if so ill see about getting one edited so you can have the looped back ground again.
That would be awesome if you could do that actually.
Quote:
Maulus is fail!
I'm working on a BIG boost for the Maulus, don't worry.
Quote:
Tristan firepower isnt fine, 2 shots with the iskure kills a condor but it takes 3 from the tristan??? wtf?, but the ship also needs slightly more beef to survive its hits and runs, either a slight speed boost or more beef.
Okay, I'm probably going to boost its tank in the next version.
Quote:
Constantly and persistenly suggestoin absolute readouts to complement the percentage number and maybe a listed recharge rate (like 30 shields/m)
Just did that already, It'll be in the next version.
Quote:
Drones need to attack frigates first not cruisers.
Working on that, no promises for the next version though.
Quote:
Some enemies will spawn at the edge of the main map instead of the outermap like most should.
Bug. Shall be squashed.
Quote:
Rocket Kessies seems ablit overpowered and usually 2 (thier normal spawn group) of them will one shot a player.
Yeah, I'll be doing something about that soon.

Still no choice for cruisers on mission 3 menu
Fixed... should be, anyway. Let me know if this isn't the case, as this bug can sometimes show up despite my best efforts.

Lets see, it shows a blank briefing screen, and then it shows the ship selection screen, with the text overlapping the ship picture thingies.
And you you we love you tar, right?

Orange Skyloop
here you go tarminic one spoofed up and polished up sky loop, because eve has a sky sphere the background does indeed reflect the cameramovment and slightly mimics 3d movment itself which makes getting the clouds and pictures to line up exactly impossible so i had to brush up 10 full screen high res snapshots that originally took 120mbs on my editor to sort out line up and paint mix so that the annoying little lines are gone. The loop ive tested it myself is accurate down to the pixel so you can littlerlly take the top and bottom and shove them together and not notice a difference unlike the rest of the seams which are noticeable if you look close enough and see the paint marks. Dont worry I derezed it a bit and saved as a jpg so its 400kbs now. If there was supposed to be a specific size Then I dont know what to say about this file Im sure its strechable without concequnces but squashing may not be an option. dunno... just if it doesnt fit tell me and ill see what i can do.
Anyways photoshopping complete unless you want a side order of stars. and heck no to planets showing up on it, they have to be on a seperate looping because the sky moves behind planets when you pan around to take the 360 pictures.

Its the big white dot about 6 stars wide and 3 stars tall by the solar flare of the systems sun, its a drake. I doubt anyone will notice as is but can you imangine seeing this close in the game you might be able to see it or it would stick out rather oddly being that big of a white dot.

I have an odd feeling the amarr will be overpowered in this game with thier never miss lasers.
Noob mode if and when made will probably be in an jovain frigate.
Im going to try to get a red blue and green skygrounds loops soon.

i dunno, i guess i just suck. Although, it does seem that i have at least equal, or more shield hp as armor in the ishkur. And the drones do not so great damage. Otherwise, its still really cool :0

Dont worry some tone downs are comming.
Tarminic been great developing the game and we as play testers are giving an accurate feedback of difficulty escalation. Lvl 2 is indeed wee bit too hard but hopefully the tone down will keep it challenging.
Ships are still imblanaced and hes still hammering the last of the bugs outs i belive.
but most of the critical bugs he had early versions of the game are now gone, but im sure more will pop up when he gets missiles and other ewars in.

I cannot, in a quick glance late at night before I shuffle off to bed, find instructions... how to launch drones or use other secondary weapons...
But looks fun, once I figure it out.

Also I dont know how it happened but my ship is in the picture :( forgot to edit myself out, its easily mistaken for a star though.
No problem at all, it looks great!
If I need to scale it up, I should be able to just resize it and apply a Gausian (sp?) Blur to smooth things over, that's what I did with the original image and it worked fine.

Yeah, Mission 2 is too tough, that much I do know. But there is something that can help you out, you just have to figure out what it is. Hint: You can find it in the last two pages of this thread.

Frigate shields actually regenerate a bit too quickly, that's probably why it seems like it. Also, most ships are considered untanked, and I believe that the Ishkur's shields and armor only have a 40-50 point difference (according to the item database). I don't think drone damage needs a buff, because the Ishkur shouldn't be able to quickly dispatch enemies using ONLY it's drones. It packs quite a punch if you're good with it's blasters.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have a full tutorial in the next version, something simple like one per race.
Work is continuing, but there are two things I've already added for the next version to boost the Tristan and the Maulus:
-The Tristan is now properly tanked, unlike the other frigates. It now has twice the HP as it did previously and will repair twice as much as the Ishkur or Maulus
-Certain Caldari Ships such as the Griffin or the Blackbird now cary multi-spectral ECM jammers that work exactly like Jamming systems work in EVE.
-Sensor Strength has been added to the game, which determines how vulnerable your ship is to jamming. The Maulus has twice the sensor strength of the other frigates (equal to that of a cruiser).
-The Maulus can now, due to it's superior electronics and communication systems, designate targets for a Sniping Megathron outside the theater of battle. It's ammunition is limited, however, so call your targets wisely.
I'll try and update as often as I can, but the internet here barely oozes out of the phone line, so it takes awhile. Thanks for everyone's continued participation.

Yeah, I figured that you guys would enjoy that.
More update stuff!
I won't be adding another playable race for awhile, at least not until the Gallente Campaign is finished (at least 3 more missions after the third). BUT! As a result you'll get to try out shiny new ships in Goonswarm mode. I've already added two more variants; a Rifter fitted with Autocannons and one fitted with artillery (the design of the Autocannons and Artillery reflect input from Mothermoon and Nova Fox, respectively. Thanks guys! ).
I've just implemented diagonal movement (I know this one's been a long time coming). As a result I may be changing acceleration rates as a side effect of this makes ships behave as if they're sliding across ice.
However, I need more input, specifically regarding the Minmatar:
-I've divided the Gallente into three primary setups: Blasters, Drones, and Sensor Damperners. How should I divide the Minmatar? I had initially envisioned them as having ships for Speed, Damage output, and Tanking, but as I examine them this category becomes increasingly difficult to apply (especially with their Frigates). How should I categorize them?

Lotsa stuff (I make alotta video games on the drawing board :P but I guess all those years of thinking up stuff is paying off with a simple game with possible room for those mechanics)
Speed and Autocannons with higher shield repair rate but normal amounts hp ship. Auto cannons with high rof could have a little spread (deviation between shots not the shots spreading themselves) to help out with hitting targets while moving fast, ship has to move fast enough to definetly dodge missile fire with ease, screwing up gets you killed
Heavy Tank, missiles and gun (thinking short range as well for it) ship this will still move slightly faster than the average frigate but not as fast as the speed deamon above this will basically be the minmatar version of a merlin.
Artillery + target painter version a : ewar while turned on the ship makes a red line to the mouse pointer and any shots from the player follows down the line regardless of the painter moves or not this will allow for some greater accuratcy shots provided you can aim well.
Target Painter version B makes all the hit boxes of ships bigger while active.
Target painter A could also be turned into a powerup
Autocannon and Arty shots should be yellow or orange
still suggesting the railgun shots form players and npcs to be changed to light blue.
Lasers idea
Constant beam for the short range pulse lasers
(white)
Charge and release beams for beam lasers charge laser for max damage! (purple)
both are cap hungy when over used.
Fire suggestion
as the yellow to red dots fade out have them leave a smokey brown/grey dot for smoke which lingers a bit longer than the current particle for the campaign mode.
New Powerup suggestion
Repair drone
when you pick this powerup up it will make a drone that attacks you with weak repairs to both armor and shields, its shootdownable by enemy fire making missile and arty fire very dangerous.
Are we getting new npc ships in GS mode too and can we at least get enemy tristans in GS mode soon since its the easiest ship to impliment will need a recolor though.
Also upload the sprites for the gallente frigates if you can, I wanna touch them up a bit.
Also can I ask how many more sky loops you need? Im sure you can get away with using the current ones 4x over provided you mirror them or flip them over. but eve has alot more colored sky grounds left.
Im looking for the green one I remember in gallente space but where? if you know which region anyone drop a line please.
