Patch Question

[boogeyman]

Hello Rob,

first of all you made me a big fan of your game.
It´s just awesome, couldn´t stop playing it for weeks!

Some suggestions and a little bug report from my side:

New things that would be nice:
There should be max 10 messages, it´s anoying to click everyone away.
Self destruction: To be able to hack the enemy ceo console then activate the self destruct (useful if more than one player)
CEO should defend himself or flee
Break down buildings
Turret improvements in the base!
Turret repair
CEO Tower improvements (it´s way to easy to get to it, only one Robot with best weapon and shield can do it!
Second scenario: I wait till the enemy docs the gateway probe the first time and then rush him with my robots and kill him in less than 5 Minutes)
Maybe you can establish a second security field that you have to destroy from the outside with fighters first.
Same problem for outposts, they are way to easy to take
Some sort of rockets for the ships
Troop landing ships would be great

AI Problems:
AI stops building ships and troops after the first attacks unless you activate unlimited wealth
AI builds no more defence fighters when they are destroyed
AI sends constantly the gateway probe... would be fun if it uses some kind of tactic protected by other ships...
AI is sometimes producing too many robots so the game starts lagging and they get stuck

General problems:
If you shoot with the bigger ships in FPS mode some turrets shoot the own ship! (Target improvements needed!)
Also in the monolith you can barley see the enemy and shoot it.
Ships from the fighterbay are attacking the own base when an enemy is inside.

Keep up the great work!

Hi, thought I would move this one into a new thread as the last one was answered.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the game, I will try and answer the questions as best as I can.
I am thinking on reducing the messages so if you get one then its really important and needs reading otherwise they time out.
I assume the self destruct like in the first one?
The AI CEO fleeing or fighting back will come at a later update.
Building breaking down was in the game but i removed as it was confusing too many people, it will come back in when i have worked out how to make it less confusing with better UI.
Yes you will be able to upgrade internal turrets in the next patch hopefully.
You can already repair turrets i believe from the security screen.
FPS improvements are always on going and will try and find a better way to make it more challenging.

Does the AI ceo not raise a forcefield over the portal?

New weapons are incoming.
The troop transports were removed for numerous reasons and replaced with the gateways which are almost identical, which aspect of the troop transports are you missing?

Will investigate the issues you have mentioned

Thank you for taking the time to post your suggestions.

Hi,
yes I would like to have a self destruct like in the last one, but also that you can hack the enemy and activate it too. (Of course with a lot of defensive respond like mechanoids or something like that, and the ceo can disable it).

The AI ceo raises the forcefield after I have sent already 30 troops at least and then open it up as soon as I left the room. (I also suggest much more and stronger defence in the portal room)

The troop transports should be an addition, like if you send a gateway probe the enemy destroys it and that´s it you can´t send troops.
But if you send additionaly 2 troop transports (slow but big ones with 30-50 robots) with shields, they probably make it. This would also make it easier for the AI to attack stations and bases. (Of course they have to be limited like 2 or something)

Thank you for your respond!
