Crimson - thank you for the suggestion! We may eventually add controller support, but it is not a big item on our development list right now nor something we can commit to do. We've added basic controller support for BF, you can check out our controller profile there! Hi fallen, I have been holding off on commenting for a while now. This will be my last pre-game support for any project alpha or early access. I also got burned on support for dungeon defenders 2 (another game maker). I won't leave negative reviews on Steam or elsewhere due to knowing you for many years and my liking of star traders and cyber knights But I can't say i have not been anything but disappointed for the development of st2 from the delays (more than one year) to start, now in ealy access for an unknown period of time, to the lack of controller support. The way it plays on android (early alpha). Was really unplayable due to screen resolutions. I realize the focus was pc at the time. I just put a negative review for nobunagas revenge for not supporting controllers. Full controller support is basis 1 for me on pc. I only hope the android version gets much better. I wish you luck on your future game develipments.

I tried opening the game on Steam, and didn't get anywhere with a controller.
I think controller support is necessary or you will miss on a big segment of the population.
I actually don't play games much without streaming them on big picture mode or using some sort of touch screen.
Best Regards, Crimson

Cool. What link did you paste into Chrome? If you long click on the download link button . It allows you to to copy the link to the clip board. I then pasted it into the url of google chrome for android.

Hi all,
I found a solution. Had a problem with the phones internet program. I switched to chrome and pasted the link and it finally worked.
Best Regards, Crimson

Crimson - thanks for all the feedback! We're definitely working on improving for android and small screens, but there will only be so much we can do. Can you share your device type so we can check the screen size and DPI? Most of the button issues probably have to do with them being hard to hit due to their size. The list of options in the combat preamble is a table. You can scroll down, there may be options like "Retreat". If the enemy is already Hostile, then there is no Retreat option and you have to it from combat. To do that, you'd use the Escape button when you are at range 5. You should hit the Galaxy button on the left hand side to see the big map. fallenI have a Samsung Galaxy S5. The phone would be similar to s6 or s7 as they are both the same 5.5 amoled screen size. Preferably once on Steam I would play the game with a steam controller on big play mode. Thanks for the tip on the map. I will see if I can navigate from it. I stream my games to a big 42" screen tv through the steam link from my laptop. If there is a plan to test that mode I can help test there. Thanks, Crimson

Thanks for the post. Probably most of phase 1 won't make sense till you spend some time with it. Let us know when you're had a chance to play and we can try to answer any questions. Played a little bit more. I haven't watched the videos yet. I am playing on android because of little time available. Kids and work take up much of my time these days. The buttons are really small and hard to hit. The buttons seem laggy. I think one thing that could make things better if we could see other ships moving as well.(similar to port royale). A way to avoid pirates?. A lot of screens seem very laggy maybe this has to do with click vs. Double click. The error log seems strange on the bottom right screen. I really can't read it the text is so small. As a merchant i couldn't find a way to try to retreat from battle in the pre battle screen. Then during battle there did not seem to be a way to flee. Maybe i should have moved backwards.. The worm holes seem cool even taking damage from one. Once going through one it would be nice to have it "mapped". I cannot find the map. In the original star traders rpg i almost exclusively used this for travel. Over-all the screens seem a little static and this may turn off for some people. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are an improvement over the original. Somehow simplifying the commands and set-up would be good. As an option for advanced setup the current setup screen would be ok, but i rather pick a map from a library and also a character and ship. I realize the game is still in rough form. So not trying to sound negative. Hope all is well. Crimson

Not much time so far. Initial impressions so far.
Glad pc is being focused on first. The initial captain setup screen should be an advanced feature. Pre-set styles should be available. Ie pirate trader rogue etc.
Atleast on android i did not see other planets on the map. And did not see a way to move the map.
for pc i would like controller support. I play pc games almost exclusively with a controller.
I will see if i can take alook further this weekend. The ship selection in the beginning seems strange. There is a cost of each ship that effects the starting cash?
Best Regards, Crimson

Thanks for the info i will take a look. I did try yhe purchase but looked like it was going to charge me. Amazon has a policy against double charging for the same item -- in my testing it will just say "you already purchased this, downloading" and you get the IAP without any additional cost. If that sounds too dangerous to you, contact Amazon support via Chat and they can help. Ended up going through a whole drama on it with amazon. But its been fixed for now. Thanks for the help.

I factory reset my galaxy s5.
And it seems that google play and amazon versions of hos gold and silver do not keep up with the purchases. I can see the iap's in google and amazon on the history.

Looking back we started talking about the Drone Master in 2013. Are we getting close yet?
Thanks, Crimson

He took it off because of some legal mumbo jumbo and it becoming a book (apparently a Trilogy) Sent from my 0PCV1 using proboards Duology 2 books rabid rabidbiteI would recommend staying away from advertising and web promotion... cost a relative of mine several thousand dollars with little gain. I think all told over 20k -30k spent. Its a religious book and much of that well spent if one soul is saved but it does not help much in comparison to expense. Take any free advertising you can get though. She self published as well i hope the percentage you make is good otherwise amazon has a really good self publish as well but you don't get the he services of an editor. Crimson
