Weapons components are the turrets, lasers, nukes and other weaponry installed on your ship. Computer related components involve the ship’s processors, as well as viruses and programs. Basic ship components are the major parts that comprise the ship, such as the reactor and hull. Ship components are broken down into four categories: Basics, Computer, Weapons, Cargo and Thrust. The Captain is in charge of purchasing and installing components. Managing and installing better components will greatly improve the ship as a whole. Each of these components can be removed and replaced. The Ship Component System allows players to peek inside and assess every major component that runs their ship.

See the Captain section of the manual to learn more. Bot behaviors can be customized under the Crew AI tab. Once a bot is spawned, there will be option to remove it. Clicking one of these buttons will spawn a bot of the corresponding class. To the right of “Role Available” there are buttons for adding bots. Here, the Captain can also add bots to the game.
The clear target button will remove any active targets.Īt the bottom of the menu, there is a crew roster that displays the names of the crewmembers currently in the game. If you have auto target unchecked, your ship will not target enemy vessels regardless of the threat they pose. As its name suggests, auto target will automatically select hostile ships to target. Automated turrets and AI will focus fire on the targeted ship. Ships can be targeted when the Captain holds SPACEBAR and clicks on the UI of a ship in the upper right corner of the screen. The galaxy chaos rating will never decrease however, players can prevent a speedy rise of chaos by avoiding chaotic actions such as extorting or stealing ships.įrom the TAB menu, the Captain can turn off auto targeting or clear the current targeted ship. For standard games, the maximum chaos rating is 6. The higher the chaos level, the more unpredictable and dangerous the galaxy becomes. The dominance of factions in the galaxy changes over time. The entire crew levels together, so from here you can view your crew's level and the amount of XP needed to reach the next level.

The Weapons Specialist wields an arsenal of powerful weapons in order to ensure the survival of the ship and its crew within combat situations. Scientists can scan for potential hidden objects in a sector and view acquired information about other vessels’ statuses and components.
The Scientist oversees the use of programs and viruses, as well as the ship's sensors. The Engineer manages the ship’s reactor, facilitates power allocation to the various systems, and repairs any damage inflicted to those systems.
The Pilot controls the movement and rotation of the ship itself: dodging enemy fire, positioning the ship to allow turrets to fire clear shots, as well as aligning the ship to warp to new sectors. The Captain's should be considered absolute, as their orders are often necessary to coordinate and support the roles of every other class. The Captain holds a position of leadership. As such, all crewmembers must be prepared to perform their individual tasks, follow directives from their captain, and even fill the roles of other crewmembers if they should become incapacitated. Teamwork and coordination are of the utmost importance when embarking on a mission, and can make the difference between success and failure. So yeah, just thought I'd let you know if that sounds interesting to you.Many starships consist of a five person crew, each assuming an essential role onboard the ship. The game could definitely use more content but apparently the devs are good and active, it is early release though just so you know, but not very buggy in a game breaking way. The reason I like it and related it to HoO, apart from obvious nautical-space related reasons, is the sense that you walk around the ship, do ship specific housekeeping and in that it becomes very engaging and immersive. And what's great is all the roles are quite vital and important so it really does feel like a true team game. I've had to broaden my horizons as old 3rd person naval warfare games are quite niche.īasically it's a game where up to 5 people work together on a spaceship and have to carry out their own respective tasks (engineer, pilot, captain) to keep the vessel "afloat". It is a space game but has a lot of features and is generally laid out how I imagined HoO might be. I thought people on here might find it interesting.
Hi, I've been following the progress of HoO on and off for a while now and I've also just started playing this new game: Pulsar: Lost Colony.
