#11 Golden Skull Level

[StickManTwit]

We thought the focus of the alloy improvements was on being able to see different textures on the ship models. For example: What would a Dominator AnIn-1 look like with a Raven texture? That would be genuinely amazing, and I know perfectly well that an implementation like that would be incredibly laborious in terms of art design, but that's what we thought (not everyone, but at least those I talk to).

Textures are not all organised the same way. To see a ship with correctly mapped UVs when using a different texture set requires swapping that model with an entirely different model. The time/labour cost of remapping every single model to create variations on every single texture currently available to fly on ships is incredible. Mapping textures for one ship for one texture alone is 3-6 hours. Multiply that by 7 for every texture set available, then by however many ships we have in the game. The amount of time spent doing that, I would instead be able to spend towards building a fully functional game start to finish with vacation time left over. Then there is further labour to then implement every single model/texture variation into the game, which would mean you'd increase the loading burden of models and textures seven fold. It's unfortunately just not a feasible feature at all because the textures were never designed this way.

can you check the render in the last mission of erebos (face off) because we had many crashings with the client I don't know if it is something related to the last patch

It depends, we've done it last week or 2 weeks ago and one of the pilots we crashing at the end of the mission every 1 or 2 minutes with a high end laptop (I think he has a 5070 or 5070ti for laptop with a nice CPU and RAM) me in the other hand had 0 crashes on the whole mission and I have no crashed at all in the game, but I know people that has crashes when going orbit or landing sometimes while playing even now (also with nice PCs).
My guess would be is caused by oggre or the UI accessing null pointers but I can't help with that

What mean this?

Guessing it means XC rotations will be faster than SC

 

[Poland]

It means that the bps will be picked more randomly than in regular rotation, causing some bps to appear faster than usual and some of them less likely to appear that often. Considering additional string in changelog that cosmetics will appear less likely, you have your math equation done

Could just delete engine trails and alloys from remnants and add them to the gold shop without skull requirement.

It's supposed to be endgame content while it's simular to cake blasters etc. Many don't care and just despawn them to get a 9th item XC. Ez fix for the rotation.

OR .. add some actual buffs for different alloys/engine trails like the insanely expensive alloys from the shop do.

Don't forget that you don't need to spend even a single penny on permanent alloys as well. You can do it completely for free, if you have enough friends that would like to try the game and just invite them to play.

However, in case of alloys from XC Carriers, I could agree that different colours would be greatly welcome to the pool, causing it to be more frequently pursuited instead of just despawned. However, I can't say the same about Engine Trails. As you play on Askone as well, you know many actually would like to put some of those into their ships, i.e. I want to put most of whites and reds to my ships but I am unlucky to get those atm...
