Salvage Shuttle should not be roundstart #18163

Open Emisse opened 1 year ago

Emisse commented 1 year ago

the gameplay loop of salvage when they had even less content was centered around shuttle building which people really enjoyed, i think they should have to salvage their own shuttle before starting expeditions. this will do two things.

  1. make people rushing to do expeditions and immediately dying stop by a lot
  2. make people engage with the shuttle building mechanics of our game which are a lot of fun
  3. skub

im not sure if we want to have a way to link salvage drone pilot console to their own shuttle or just remove it, maybe also a way to link the expedition to the shuttles computer once its built so random people dont show up on the expedition. thanks for coming to my ted talk

Might need to make shuttle materials cheaper as well, like 1/4 price or the likes.

will having to Hey! Assemble the Salvage Shuttle! And off to the Expedition! not get old after the first few times

Emisse commented 1 year ago

no because its fun, just need to make construction a bit easier maybe

make it more fun with mandatory Shuttle Bonus Lootboxes! "not again, i already have 19 thrusters!"

or just map most of the essential shuttle equipment roundstart, boiling it down to a basic 5-minute assembly period should stay fun for a while

Emisse commented 1 year ago

we can figure out mapping later id rather just have the shuttle removed first tho to see what would be needed

noooo i dont want to use magnet

UbaserB commented 10 months ago

Are you going to remove the shuttle again or is it staying for good this time

K-Dynamic commented 10 months ago

You want to remove shuttle, then make magnets work closer to station (currently inconsistent, such as Aspid where extending it out doesn't seem to let you draw debris in)

deltanedas commented 10 months ago

iirc thats a bug related to using map AABB to check if a rock spawn will fit, which usually overlaps space a lot with random rotations

As someone who used to build shuttles this gets very old very fast, and a lot of times people wont even get to finish building them before the round is over.

You can add the shipyard system and allow salvage to buy the ships to skip this hassle while they can still make the call to build one to save on money, then you can go and remove it and im sure no one will mind it that much.

we have ideas but we r removing roundstart shuttle, we r gonna make building better and rebalance all of salvage from the ground up
