Default Re: A lurker delurks... with a mod?


The G'Fsk are intriguing... I keep hoping some random event will trigger that somehow explains the genetic link between them and humans despite their being arachnoids. If you don't have such a thing, it'd be a good idea for a future update. If you do, well I'm looking forward to playing it enough that I stumble on to it.


Really like your ships - the ship graphics are clean and sweet, and the battles have been fun.

It's so easy to accidentally make something BAH-roken when modding, yet you've got a good balance to the mod. Good job all around.

Never had any crash-bugs in your mod either, which is high praise, believe me.

But now, here's my complaint. When you encounter the Dominion and you show a picture of Major Brass... that confused the heck out of me. I was trying to figure out if the Dominion were a terran offshoot, if there was some weird treachery scenario going on, etc. Basically, I overthought it, and as a result couldn't figure it out.

Like the third game I'd played of your mod I suddenly realized that it was Major Brass, attempting to hail the Dominion ships you're about to encounter. The enemy never responds so you fight them. Wow. That had gone right over my spinning head the first couple times.

I'd recommend either making that a lot clearer in your text, or biting the bullet and draw an alien-head. My wife keeps telling me to just open your files and put a face of my own design in there so it'll stopping making my brain hurt.

That's it, my only complaint. Otherwise I like the mod a lot.
