I am waiting for the hockey app (which I now have) to give me the android version. I don't have a windows or a mac account ... but if you ever get around to needing linux testing, count me in. So I am watching videos. I am so jazzed about this! It is unclear from the video why you order your captain templates A B C D E. If I change the order, what changes and why? Maybe in the final version this should be a tooltip? Can I have more than one <profession> templates? Can I name them different things? (i.e. "Strong Leader MO" "Sneaky MO") ? s/A Explorer Template/An Explorer Template/ Can I name my maps? Change their names later? |

I think I can answer some of your questions, although Cory or Fallen should probably check what I'm saying. Why the order for the captain template? As far as I can tell, A will give you the best option for the corresponding category (e.g. ship, A gives you $500k to spend) and E will give you the worst option for the corresponding category (e.g. E might only give you $200K to spend). I agree that a tooltip or explanation would be a good idea in the final build. More than one template?It looks like you can, and I'm pretty sure you can name them because Cory had a couple different ones in his list. Renaming them would be very nice. I'd also like to know if you can rename your maps, that would be a nice little thing for those of us that like to play on the same maps. |

johndramey is correct about the ordering. You can have lots of Templates, and we plan to support naming and re-naming. Maps you cannot rename (right now) but that is a feature we 100% need to support before release. Probably a phase 2 or phase 3 thing unless not being able to rename maps blocks testing for alpha people for some reason.

grävling - you can have as many as you like for any profession. Rename is on our list, I've officially logged it under #ST2-3306 and will post back here when fixed. As johndramey suggested, ABCDE is in order of importance. As you lessen the priority of any given category, you get less of whatever it is. Ship A is $500K, while Ship E is $120K. Skills A is 30 skills, while Skills E is 0 skills.

Also, is there a way to drop the 'November wallpaper" "Your next read" and "Vigilante Skies" threads from the ST2 alpha threads? They cannot help but be confusing to newcomers who have never been here before .... If there isn't any want to just remove them from the ST2 fora, maybe we can restrict them to the General board for the duration of the alpha?

I love the priority setup for the templates/characters. Fond memories of ShadowRun. Definitely need a way to better name them.
Also, as a side-note. Unsure if I like the skills/attributes pre-set in templates. Seems more like a separate captain-creation stage one, so you don't have umpteen different templates for one type of profession, because you're trying little tweaks in attributes or such.

Thanks for the feedback. The promise we made in Kickstarter has got to be top priority so we're sticking with this Template design. We will make it work, I know for 100% certainty that it is correct design here.
Once the UI catches up, I'm confident everyone will eventually agree.
