ORIGINAL: deadmeat1471 +alpha caveat etc etc What is "+alpha caveat"? quote:
ORIGINAL: deadmeat1471 What is going to happen to make me care about the crew, being named after random people ive never met and the stats being really bland? Sorry, what do you mean by "stats really bland", I'm not following you. quote:
ORIGINAL: deadmeat1471 I assume at this moment we wont have historic astronauts? which would help. We'll see what we can do. For the moment using the historic astronauts is not an option due to legal issues, but we'll see what we can do. quote:
ORIGINAL: deadmeat1471 I also assume from previous criticism we wont be able to rename astronauts, but MAY be able to rename the ground crew. You can already edit the XML files with the candidates names. This option has been available for months and I know of some players who keep their own edited lists. quote:
ORIGINAL: deadmeat1471 Any information yet on the future? Sorry, I'm not following you on this one. Which future? quote:
ORIGINAL: deadmeat1471 A few ideas off the top of my head: -Medals. -Mission histories. -Randomised backgrounds? ie aerospace/marine aviator with appropriate bonuses to skillset. -Public appearances/popularity? drag the astronauts around to raise their standing and make money, but take a hit if said astronaut gets into trouble in personal life/dies in space. -individual missions for astronauts in space? as in experiments they brought to do ala modern nasa astronauts. Most of these stats will be included in the Museum, which has not been implemented yet. Cheers, 1) By alpha caveat I mean I'm not being overly critical, I know this game isnt finished and many things are planned. Hence the caveat. 2) mere stats alone are very bland, boring and dont garner my sympathy for the fate of people. 3) I did not know you could edit the xml stuff, I missed this, thanks! 4) The future of the game..... I believe the game is far from finished and there will be many patches in the future. This is the future I am referring to. 5) Glad to hear most of this will be included, but potentially people have ideas that may spark additional ideas for the future development. I was merely asking the question on, to me, the most important aspect of the game; caring for those we send into space! Great work by the way, I am really impressed by how this game is turning out. As a huge space fan, BARIS fan and a member of the planetary society!
