I'm trying to patch bi weekly or monthly now.
Every patch will have a story line in addition to techs.
This will make it a fun run to stop in, beat the story missions and see the new techs.
The goal is fully functional Space Opera with techs the world's never seen before.
The next patch is impending tomorrow or in the next few days I hope.
I ran into problems with living arrangements, old house too toxic to live in, this one doesn't even have a proper computer desk, my monitor is like on an 1800s sewing machine and my keyboard in my lap, but I will not stop developing this game!
------
Wish I had time to format my future patch techs, but here they are firehose style:
Hello,
Patch notes & |\ |\ |\\
o o |
o
Major:
A: Missions are added see if you can finish them before I add more!
B: Your target's name is now seen.
C: You can target backwards with ` and target forwards with tab. Shift+tab is an illegal sequence in Steam. If you want to use traditional controls, disable steam overlay opening with shift+tab.
Minor
i: Cycling backwards on targetting works now. Shift+Tab while the traditional key stroke combination for cycling backwards in targets activates the Steam Menu and the game becomes unplayable. I was unaware of this. You can either change your Steam Overlay settings so Shift+Tab is not used, or use the key `which is located above tab.
ii: Less Asteroids for weaker computers.
iii: Description of targets
iv: Derpa AI shoots wildly
1) BUG FIX: Thrust on XBOX 360 wired controllers works again! This the creme de le creme of controls.
2) BUG FIX: Thrust sound was glitched due to a refactor, works again.
3) Gaining a level by dying under the right conditions was a thing... Now its not.
FUTURE NOTES:
Satisfaction in life->wait for goals->live by others rules
Anti cheat
Honesty hour, a funny term since I never lie...

NOTES:COMING SOON, AND FORECAST->Story missions non stop, techs around em, story's awesome!
Future Patches
->Non Stop Missions in Star System Sol until that story arc panned out and the next enters.
->Bounty System:Allows Player vs Player... Except people who don't want to be doing PVP will get insurance refund money of damages if/when the offending player pays up or gets captured as Bounty.
->70,000ish star stystems per core, 24 cores to dive.
->Warp drive lets you see actual stars warp by you that exist, aim for the star you want to explore, hit warp.
->Space Opera of partially Ai driven, partially Next Gen personality Memento system to have realistic aliens who grudge match you or befriend you.
->Unlimited player MMO
->Fleet building and Fleet Destroying, soft perma death hardcore means its a thrill of the rise and thrill of fall, rinse and repeat! Aim for higher personal bests of fleet sizes
-> Star System capture, control, taxing, law imposing. People can challenge to take over your star in an 2 hour window where your friends are on... If they're not on, AI will use their craft. So build big alleginances for star control power.
->Better UI hull/shields/armor/etc such as NES style Brick Icons for stats
->Transfer between shields/thruster/weapons power
->more sanity loss special effects
->Radar
->Better targetting
->Multi Targetting of friend/foe/neutral/quest...
->Fleet General Commands to allies of flight style: ie defend me, skirmish(fight optimally), attack target, bomb target, evasive manuevars, flee(rout) ta
->Weapon escalation:
I) rockets/homing missile/cluster rockets, rocket spam mitigated by chaff, ECM, or a bold force shield ejection
II) Lasers will always hit, and heat up your ship, so you're encouraged to rotate your ship's sides to absorb heat in multiple places.
III) Bombs you need to travel in a straight line without much damage for 7 seconds ->very long range for shelling bases out of turret range
IV) Rail Gun
V) Destroyers/Capital Ships
VI)
->Bounty Combat PVP system
->Magic enabled
->Cockpit overlays
->Custom Attribute Allocation to stats you prefer from leveling up.
->96 most bilious bosses
->More Galactic News Network tickers
->Enable reduction in manueverability based on encumberance, volume limit of cargo
->Crafting based on real world Molecular structures, make materials out of periodic chart elements, and use those materials to make gears, levers, switches, interchangeable parts of a variety of styles.
.Hopefully this becomes educational to people entering Chemistry Class later and beneficial to humanity.
->Favorite foods, drink, sanity preservation
->Elaborate 16 supernatural elemental magic systems
->traders and galactic encounters randomly, get cosmos gems to access untold areas, maps of places no one can get to...
->Secret, get ingame podcasts when available by hitting alt+p, ALT+P AGAIN CYCLES THROUGH THEM, CTRL+P CLOSES EM,
-Memento system
-Scientific items system elaborations evident
-power recover of various systems rates, shots costing powers
-Allegiance & Dark Allegiance system where by helping others or the illusion of helping them raises your power, fame, and status in the Galaxy.
-Live Omnipotent roleplay
--MMO Mode leaderboards such as EXP
--More enemies with fun catch phrases?
--what ASPECTS DO YOU WANT WORKED ON MORE? Send ideas and buy triderium. Forums or email is cool.
--multi drops, more rares, uncommons
--more advanced inventory->Scroll deeper, limited by volume, weight slows your thrust + adds collision damage & kickback, sort with different filters, better descriprtion, items catch on fire in inventory, emit toxic gases, melt, get destroyed by oncoming heat attacks or collisions
--Ability to dimensionally recover items picked up previous session... You have em saved on server, just can't see when you load until next patch.... Use upgrades when you got em!
-Conquer Stars and setting taxes and laws
-story history replay dialogue
-more achievements
-Asteroids properly breakinto more than oen
-Give android race an android sounding voice
--Three forms of Ground Combat:
GROUND COMBAT FORM I) One is a classical First Person Shooter (FPS) with vehicles.
GROUND COMBAT FORM II) One is tactical Real Time Turn Based Game(RTTG) from top down, almost isometric. RTTG will give you the feel of a classic orthogonic chess like game with cover, vision and such, yet everyone plays at the same time. RTTG mode happens when you enter populated towns, not because the server can't handle infinite players in a small zone, but because it feels more intense when any action and fight can start from the shadows. Movement is freer and faster when no one has fights going on nearby.
GROUND COMBAT FORM III)One is a 3d Fighter Game you'd see in Arcades from the 90s, but with the ability to change targets.
Starfighter General is the Everything Game. And it's for real. Let me know what you want me to dev next. Virtual Goods buys lets me sub contract parts out to make the game faster. Talk about what you want, and if you got the money, be a driver, push this game's development faster. I'm a 64x coder, people who meet me don't believe people like me exist, so I get things done... I just have literally 0$ funding at the moment. You'll see things in Starfighter General you thought were impossible and things never done before... Be a believer, or heck, just play and enjoy.
KNOWN BUGS:
1) Iron ore is called a book
3) Vision obscuring of mesh fog in junk yard
4) Laser angle not straight
5) TEXT RENDDER DEPTH of chatting aliens, or targetting computer needs fixed so always visible.
Enable Prime Skils(21):

-----
This game is HUGE! You can see AAA companies shut down competition when they get money, but watering the indies with some love means we raise the bar, so AAA can't just keep selling recycled culture. In fact AAA is limited on cultural expression due to so many pressures, they get cancel cultured. Artists like myself, respectful to humanity, am able to run wild with imagination and do things you never saw before... My limiting factor coding is basic day to day things like having gasoline to get to the gym and shower, basic things like paper towels to clean or easily prepped food so I don't have to spend an hour trying to make beans taste good. When you empty your wallet to AAA corporations who rip you off time and time again, your soul feels empty... When you water the indie community some, your soul gets watered... We raise the bar and force the video game community to do better. Just a reminder that it does matter who you use your money to vote for... AAA is always going to be a let down, you tried that, try an indie with 150,000 hours experience game devving who's fighting through sickness and trials just to get you a solid game out. This ain't a pity party, it's facts, I'll make this game whether anyone helps me or not... I'll just make it tons faster with some community support. I'm a fighter in life and hope to inspire others.
,Jim
