Colony Ship Early Access Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[jackofshadows]

Is solo better for stealth?

Here stealth is always solo - others if any, simply wait until the stealth section ends. Actually I'm curious how the game handle the last section that was just added in case of companions. Like they supposed to be thrown somewhere else in jail or something.

When you fail the new stealth section, Dumont simply allow you to get away, even if you killed dozen of his men which looks ridiculous to me. I beleive the game should recognize that. Moreover, would be really cool if the game would also recognize other casualties after faction-involved fights like Standon would scratch his head over Pyrrhic victory in case of everyone but MC dies etc.

Is this worth playing right now, or should I wait for the full content release?

 

[Pink Eye]

It's worth playing right now. Compared to many Early Access titles, the game is pretty smooth and doesn't have many issues. There's also enough content for you to have fun with. Just recently the developers added Factory - so that's like another hour or so of excitement.

Depends. If you more interested in the story, dialogues and setting in general then - hardly, too little content yet. If you wanna experiment with combat builds however, then - absolutely.

 

[Pink Eye]

Hey bros. If you have time and wanna help developers. Could you tell them how much money you get at the end of chapter 1 before going to the factory?

Survey: how much money do you have at the end of chapter 1
Please let us know how much money do you have at the end of chapter 1 (before entering the Factory), as well as the size of your party. Use easy to read format like:

1,500, party 3

Thanks in advance.

Does Thief Fythe still have enough SP in Lockpick, Sneak, Steal to not need tags there?

 

[Parabalus]

Money seems a bit too tight now in a full party, no room for experimentation. Also a bit silly that you sell a full suit of armor for a few bullets.

Does Thief Fythe still have enough SP in Lockpick, Sneak, Steal to not need tags there?

She doesn't, you'll miss the 5 Lockpick in the Armory.

 

[Twiglard]

Do you have any assault rifle builds that are at least as effective as the SMGs after the Factory update? The burst penalty sucked bigtime last time I played. Does STR burst accuracy bonus help at all? If it only increases THC by 10-20% then I'm dubious about using them as a primary weapon.

SMG burster was excessively effective, especially with graze feats. Automatic rifle was only capable of serving as a shitty backup to the long-range rifle.

 

[jackofshadows]

All I can say that when I played with rifle/crit guy burst was almost always pretty much the last option, yeah. Then again, it wasn't a build around bursts. Pipe dream is relatively easy to get now, perhaps I'd try that the next update.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Is there any ALIEN areas with some of that art similar to HR GIGER

Spoiler

............... ...............

Give it a try and let us know how it goes. It's still work in progress, so expect visual improvements, extra portraits, more minor interactions added in the near future.

The patch is out, lots of new stuff.

 

[Pink Eye]

New music for Factory is dope. I hope to see Armory and Hydroponics get same treatment.

 

[Daedalos]

[Pink Eye]

Here's what it sounds like:


IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD! They also added a bunch of new sound effects to creatures too. Pretty fucking hype!

Hey guys, in the previous chapter(Factory), are you able to save after the final fight? Does anyone remember?

 

[Nm6k]

Not until the Habitat gets release

 

[Jrpgfan]

Not until the Habitat gets release

Do you mean if you beat it even now with the mission control out you still won't be able to continue?

 

[Pink Eye]

Ya. It takes you back to the title screen.

 

[Jrpgfan]

Thanks. I thought I had lost my last save file.
