awesome game Xavster ... only thing troubling is how fast you have to build a military .. it should be after you build so much resources ... but it doesn't .... which kinda puts the player in a bind to build one fast :( i mean i get you can take some time but still .. it gets the heat pumping like wtf ... i need one like right now !!! :oops:
wanted sex with Maive doesn't look like i'll get that yet ... but i keep hoping :love:
at this point your game is pretty awesome .... a little grindy but not much ... and damn those bins fill up really fast at times :LOL:

overall a homerun

Maybe I'm just too smooth brained for this but the mining stuff is just a no go for me. I get wanting to add something to these games to stand out...but I dont want to play a budget version of mass effect. I hope either the dev or a modder can make some bypass to the entire system to just one click everything.

the mining section could need some upgrade, we get robo fighter pilots but cant get a robo miner that is gernerating like 1/10 of the average planet % ? at the end it is just a day spam to mine stuff and sometimes relocate the miner, with more progess some repeatables should just become automated, we get thrown at with A LOT of materials, craftables and stuff...this feels more like a factory clicker (well yeah with missing qol upgrades over time)

also the way to quick story development, i didnt even manage to gather copper and have to get a carrier? feels like story progress should get more flags that has to be reached before another progress is made (feels like story progress isnt linked at all to my progress with the station)

Edit:
im at day 63, and i should get a carrier while 1 mining pilot is getting the supply for it in a rusty old ship? (iirc at the beginning i even had negative credits because the girls just went on a shopping spree) i have no idea what the other ships can do and if it would be better to build them...maybe im missing content here and thats why stuff doesnt fit...dont get me wrong, i like that "factory clicker" stuff and i think it is a nice option at the game, but is way to micro managment heavy (and why the manufacturing like a excel sheet? why not the style like the station hub? a techtree with branches? endless storage but limited bin storage? why does the tech goddess (she even fixed the reactor) not upgrade the processing? at least it could show how the refinement rations are, how many stuff is needed and how much is produced? (and not just show what was produced a day later) what do we have to pay for the waste? how much credits did i get if i export the stuff? at the end the refinement view couldve been a "select how much stuff you want to smelt" option like the manufacturing)

it is kinda nice to play, good elements, but at the end it feels like the fusion of 2 games in a rush, the grind is not as expected to get close to the girls, no, to get to the carrier...ok whatever fetish you like ;)

Nice analysis, ImperialD!

WRT the need to build up a fighting force fast, a while back (here) I categorized Stellar Crossroads as an "Adult RTS" game and compared it to Blizzard's StarCraft/w porn, and it seems even more so now.

Discovered a bug with the first policy, probably also present in v0.40: If you select anything except Full Military access and then afterwards in v04q choose to maintain your stance, it will be set to Full Military access.
This is because pol_temp defaults to "a" and isn't changed to anything else if you maintain your stance, so when pol_temp != pol_01 is checked after the menu, that resolves to true and pol_change_01() is called. Easiest solution is probably to set pol_temp to pol_01 before the menu.

so everything but a harem, like going the the gun range and fully loading a gun to target practice but you only get to fire one bullet.

If it's anything like the last one the dev made...

More like going to the gun store, trying out every firearm they have, putting 100s of rounds down range in repetitive boring fashion and then walking out with only one, one out of a limited selection of all the firearms you fired, that you preferred the most.

Also, you'll have to fire the Mosin-Nagant, even if you don't want to, several times, because the dev seems to have a fetish for that front heavy beast.

Just basing it on the last game, mind you.

Whilst there will be an opportunity to have relations with several characters, there is no intention to place a harem tag on the game. As I experienced from my previous game, the harem tag creates certain expectations from some players. To comply with their wishes, you are forced to adopt a certain story telling style.

So this game will have a Harem ending with all the girls?

This really needs a second miner or an AI miner or something. Spamming several days hitting one location for one type of ore is getting tedious quickly. I get some people like that but there are sooo many different things mine to make these parts that it would be nice to have a second miner so I can start getting a couple different ore's at once. Lets me have two mining ships at a time, seems a waste to only have one miner while the other ships sits empty.

If you're okay for money is there any reason to give the Lavarian Gate Movement information to the Vultari? Those are some horrible reputation hits as much as I'd like the bonus to Vultari....

I noticed the longer you play the more rep you lose unless your constantly doing contracts for each faction. Some factions you lose 1 point every other day, some are every 3-4 days. On top of that if certain ones drop too low you lose access to planets to mine.

As for Lavarian and Basari rep, I am not too worried about that since they seem to be the main ones behind the smear campaign in the news. I raise them when needed and let them drop after since it doesn't have any effect on the storyline so far.

Also kinda wondering why we don't get secondary weapons on our fighters like majority of the factions. Unless those will be unlocked with the MK 3 components, we're being put at a disadvantage eventhough we're technologically more advanced.
