Starbase Gunship - (by Capital j Media) - Universal

[araczynski]

Just got your PM jj, thanks for all the helpful suggestion in how not to suck at this game I especially loved the one about actually upgrading generators so i would get more shots (facepalm myself). For whatever reason I never saw that 'Misc' button on the upgrades to know that it was even an option

That alone should make a world of difference in my survival time.

As for input, asteroid cracking is definitely a nice change of pace from dodging fighters and great way to practice aiming with the various other weapons.

Maybe for the upgrades, put it all in one single panel, rather then 3 small submenu items. Personally I prefer to have all information upfront for easy visual analysis, rather than jumping around menus. There's not many items, so there's little reason to separate them I would think.

Throw in some photon torpedoes
Scratchy screams from the starbase across the ship intercom when it gets hit.
Some oxygen leaks/fires
Floating little bodies flying out of the starbase after hits should would add a little mustard to the sandwich as well

Heard this suggestion/idea previously...upgradeable auto-gun turrets for the starbase. More firepower in general. More/different capital ships.
BTW...my nuke problem with the carrier seems to have been resolved since the update. Maybe I was doing something wrong?

Good point! I was actually leaving room for future weapons/systems, but it does look a little empty right now

Nice! Well the starbase definitely needs some damage graphics/fx updates. I have to optimize other parts of the game first before I can add new fx as its already taxing CPUs.

Controls are fine, but if i can suggest, i would change the position of the zoom button, maybe in the upper part of the screen. On my iPhone5 framerate is first class. Keep up the good work!

I love the quote about it being like a Star Trek episode! I thought the same thing and knew right away that I would like the game since I'm a Trekkie.

I had a little trouble with the controls/zooming on my iPod Touch 5G, but it played well on my iPad. Very fun game!

Been a little too quiet here, guys...
Hope the game is selling well. I'm still enjoying it Hope to see more updates down the road.

Thanks guys, we're working away on a Mac version of the game and eventually Android/PC as well.

Did anyone beat the Factory Ship yet?
