Greetings! 07
I finally finished my first & second foundry missions!
This is meant to be like a skirmish mode that previous ST games had where you just pick the enemy you want to fight so this is all about the space pewz!
I added a lot more dialog than I thought I would but I was experimenting with stuff so there is a bit of pop up dialog but not much IMO.
Also, to try and emulate the feel of old ST games I recommend doing the following.
•Be canon, use race specific ships/weapons for example, Fed ships use phasers & torps fore & aft etc.
•Use BOFF powers that were seen on screen.
•Depending on how you fast/slow battles should go, tone down the dps to create the back and forth fights that SOME battles have shown on screen.
•Turn down weapon power and go in with a more balanced power setting.
•Try to use different consoles to again try to emulate ST battles.. doesn't always have to be dps focused.
•Limit actual weapon slots to help create the look for example, even if a ship has a 4/4 layout maybe just use 2/2 or 3/2.
•manually fire weapons don't keybind
•don't use auto fire
Those are just some of the things you can do but those are just recommendations based on my testing/playing but it's your ST of course and play how you want and what you 'mursion' calls for!
I am thinking about making more of these type of missions where you just fight X enemy for a quick play of space pewz and as time allows.
I hope people try this and try it with the above recommendations to add a little ol' skool ST gameplay.
Thank you to those who helped me and see you in game! 07
