![]() ![]() Just as he left, a red flash indicated our main turret fired. Naomi, the engineer, pressed a few things on his console and then ran out of the bridge to man his station in the reactor to ensure we would not overheat. “Engineering, initiate jump drive charge and head back to the reactor. I turn my chair directly behind to see the engineer and the scientist officers at their station. Thankfully our range has kept the worst of the damage from us. “Enemy is firing lasers! Permission to fire!?”Ī cursory glance at my control screen shows we’ve lost a quarter of our shields. “Incoming fire!” Hurske, the weapons specialist called from his station at the main turret, located directly on the top of the ship. The planet beyond the view screen rotates as he manipulates the yoke of the Intrepid-class light frigate, we were turning upside down and slowly away from the bright disc. “Pilot,” I call from my captain’s chair, addressing Cocainee at his controls directly in front of me at the base of the view window, “keep our distance and maneuver to get a shot.” Winkle calls out a warning: “Hostile ship, scanning!” The readouts in front of me pulsate as I glance over the status. The HMS Dauntless drops out of warp in the Adalmaak system, a pretty large orb of blue directly ahead shifts into our main view. Does this new approach herald a great game, or does it fall short? Well this is a breath of fresh air: this is what it would really be like to control a ship with a crew of five, each officer responsible for his station and ensuring mission success and survival. But in any case, we’ve always controlled that craft with simple mouse clicks, controls and joysticks. ![]() The current Hand-held scanner is a bit glitchy, it may or may not point to all the drops.We’ve all played games where we control a starship – smaller ships that could be manned by as small as a 1 man crew or some that needed thousands of hands. During or before a jump remember to set your shields to modulate, you may be able to remain hidden. If you think that you've been boarded, quickly glance at your Hand-held scanner to check. Nebula's might occasionally have enemy's hiding in the cloud. Look to see if the enemy has any programs to watch out for, their cyber-defense status, and any note worthy spec's. When running a targeted component scan don't just check the weapon type.It's better to be low on fuel than to be dead. Don't be afraid to ask for a fuel capsule boost! This goes double if it's for a shield boost. Remember to notify your Captain (respectfully) if you notice a program that you could use. When your team members have boarded, remember to ask them to shut down the cyber-defense (on the Engi Aux power console or by blowing it up). But if your team members boarded the enemy and disabled their cyber-defense, then fire away. Know when to use your programs, if the enemy is routing all of their power to their Science Station it might not be the best time. I think you get three pips per fuel pod, so you may need to use more than one pod to completely restore everything. Go to Engineering, load a fuel pod, and throw the Manual Program Charging Switch. Make sure you have turned power back on to Climate Control and/or get into an exosuit.Ĭomputer programs get recharged on jump, but you can sacrifice fuel pods to recharge your computer programs while still in a battle. If your screen goes desaturated (gray, loss of color), you're suffocating. You can still warp out and even maneuver in there a little. If you warp into a crystalline geode, don't panic. If you're playing with bots and trying to repair your ship at a dock, the bots will keep raising the shields (and prevent repair) UNLESS you're in Condition Green. Just remember to set their Man Station priority back to 3 or whatever when you're done. They'll step aside and let you take the controls. If you're playing solo as Captain and need to take over piloting from the PiBot (like to fly though a jump gate), go to Tab > Overview and set the PiBot's Man Station priority to 1. u/Galahir950's Server - Pulsar: Lost Colony Starport.
