That I'd had the extra to put in for the Kickstarter to be on the Alpha team for Heroes of Steel. Seeing the bits in the forums about it is making me itch to play.

Thanks for everyone's patience ... I know Heroes of clogging up the forum in a major way, but the alpha will not last tooo long! Sometimes to consider next time we do a KickStarter  As you can see in items like Age of Pirates pinch-zoom, the Templar Assault gear re-display, and the new Cyber Knights art, ... Heroes of Steel is going to be bringing a lot of exciting concepts, skills and technology achievements back into our existing games! |

Age of Pirates pinch-zoom, Heroes of Steel is going to be bringing a lot of exciting concepts, skills and technology achievements back into our existing games! I had just a random thought when I read about the pirates map pinch-zoom, has there been any thought if pinch-zoom might be implemented in Templar Assault to replace the zoom slider? |

Ack sorry, Cory would slap me silly. We cannot add pinch zoom as it is seen in Age of Pirates to Star Traders. The graphics surface is built so very differently. I am trying to talk Cory into letting pinch-in / pinch-out bring you in and out of the Quadrant map tho!

Or a way of getting to the menu without having to waste water fuel leaving a planet. |

I meant the main screen/home page, where you can change character and whatnot.

I think rearranging the quick menu while in orbit/deep space would be nice, not to mention giving access to it when docked/landed in wilderness. As it is right now, I never use the Center button, Contracts doesn't feel super important enough to be in the center, but I like having Status and the Navigator button. You know what, I'll make a post in the Wish List/Suggestion forum instead of derailing this topic. fallen - By the way, I saw the HoS video on YouTube, and I gotta say that the animations and art have come a LONG way. If I remember right, you're the one doing all the art correct? If so, I just want to commend you on the crazy ass progress you have made since our precious little ST was born. I even noticed that Turdlip got a facial reconstruction! It kinda saddens me, because now the new comers will never know of the legend that is Turdlip. *sigh* But seriously, the real-time animation looks great. Well done! |

HateSolstice - yes, I am still doing all the art. The face-lifts are going around  Suggestions on moving buttons around on screens in ST is best done with screenshots, because there are so many menus and we all call them differently!

Its neat to see you gain levels in the art ability. The suck is, the higher level you go the more XP it takes to level up. |

*pops into the thread* Did someone mention the Alpha? It's a lot of fun! It's all in good fun, no hard feelings. I will say that investing in the KS was a really good decision. The entire process has been very open, Cory and Andrew are working hard with all of us backers, and the Alpha is amazingly great. If you can afford it I'd seriously recommend tossing enough for alpha access if/when they do another kickstarter. No regrets from me! |
