Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Yo dawg, I know I'm a broken record here, and considering I have to make it a point to ask this annually and still haven't gotten a dev response after all this time, I'd say that is pretty sad.

So here, with love and not hate, is whats up.


1. Your explosion effects. They suck. Seriously, I think I've played mods for the original half-life that had better explosion effects than this game. You keep upgrading all your graphical tech, your warp effects, your guns, your space pants, etc. But your explosions, that thing you're supposed to be rewarded with after winning the fight? That thing that is supposed to let you know "VICTORY IS MINE"? Well, it doesn't. In fact most of the time the explosion doesn't even scale with the ship properly. So maybe you should get on that.

2. Your torpedo effects. They actually suck worse than ship explosions, and that's really saying something. I mean I can actually see the visible line at the end of the shock wave radius. That's the kind of graphical glitch you get on a badly emulated PS1 game. Step up your game, son.

3. Eve has sound? Ouch man, I mean even you guys admit it sucked at last fanfest. How can you guys be running a game since 2003, know this stuff is terrible and embarrassing, and yet do nothing about it? Look, if you need the resources to get it done, here is what I recommend. Get a stereo and set it outside of Hilmar's office. Loop the sound effect from that large blaster shot. You know, the one that sounds like a bumblebee is having sex with your ear? Yea loop that crap right outside of his office on full volume. That will get resources deployed where they need to be.

That has been Kuro, with love and not hate, reaching out to guys yet again. I'd rather not have to do this again next year, so please, please get this right. You got lots of time between now and then.

Yea, Yea I know.

But hey, the effort, you know... it's gota be made.


edit: Whaaaat? This isn't a new feature or an idea. This is currently existing crap in the game, it's just in a pathetic state. What a letdown.
