Re: Crash Report
Hi, that's the most common Unreal Engine crash, please have a look here for more info: https://forum.everspace-game.com/discussion/5345/crash-report
Re: Discussion: Weapons and Movement sharing a single resource
Do you think it would add richness and sophistication to have separate resources for boost and weapons, or would it make the game worse? Why do you think so?There are seprate energy pools for weapons and boost in Everspace 2, they shared a pool in Everspace 1.
Re: Discussion: Weapons and Movement sharing a single resource
I just wonder - say you deplete one weapon, switch to another, would that first weapon recharge while not in use?Yup, it would
Re: Racing against NPC.
We already have tested racing tracks in the game. We still have to see how that works if racing against NPCs instead of against the clock.
Re: [002] Keep icons on mouseover in the game world
Yes, that is something that bugs me as well. Will be fixed in some way. Thanks!
Re: Shipwrecks es2
That's a nice idea. I don't know if it will be implemented but I'll put it on our ideas list. Thanks.
Re: [001] Ease Players In (Cascading Information Theory)
Thanks for your suggestions! We will have an introduction which serves as a tutorial and gradually explain things that are new to the player. We won't explain "virtually every aspect of the game" though. It's a fine line, I know. I don't agree with you on the "figuring out for themselves" aspect. Players will need to find stuff out, they have to try and fail or don't understand now but understand later. In case of the shadow creatures: There most likely will be some kind of backstory but we won't tell the player to avoid sunlight when he picks one up the first time. Where would be the fun on finding out how it works?
Re: Version Update with Game Pass on PC
Sorry about the unlikeliness of further updates, but it would be so much work that we'd only lose time and money on it.
However, I did some digging, a user posted this on our discord and you might still be able to transfer your save files: Look for the folder \AppData\Local\Packages\ROCKFISHGames.EVERSPACE_wm11qtfe9fmzj\SystemAppData\wgs\
Inside will be 2 folders with a randomly generated name, in one of them you should see a couple of files. Essentally they match up with the steam saves, but their filenames are randomized. The biggest one should be the save file for your overall progress (and the only important one), it should be between 150 and 270kb in size.
So with Everspace closed, you could go to your steam save game location, which is \AppData\Local\RSG\Saved\SaveGames and make a backup copy of your CurrentPlayerSave.sav (just to be sure) and then replace it with the big file from the other folder, renaming it to CurrentPlayerSave.sav.
Note that you can access the AppData\Local folder easily by typing %LocalAppData% in a Windows explorer address field.

Re: Beating Gorc
At last, I "took one for the team". I've been a hardcore gamer for many many years (my first computer was a commodore PET), so when I say that was one of the hardest challenges I've ever played you know where I'm coming from.
So (for anyone struggling with this) I changed my strategy...
Initially, fire 2 Arc-9000's to take out some of the turrets on Gorc's ship. Then, using cloak, I finish off all of the lower turrets with a shock rifle (three +'s) and further heavy missiles (there's some on both sides of his ship so be sure to take them all out). Don't worry about the turrets on top of the ship although you can take them out if you wish. When the ship spawns fighters, lock on to them individually and take them out with heavy missiles.
Now for the cores. Collect each core and get close enough to where you need to drop them off. When the beam is charging, take out the fighters with heavy missiles until it fires. Then, when it fires and the shields start recharging, drop off the cores.
Take your time. Cloak will give you enough time to find good hiding spots and take out the fighters.
Wow! That was tough!!!

Re: more corvete types please
I love the idea of going inside a massive behemoth of a machine seeing all of it's internal components and breaking them with varying effects.It's going to be a fun day when we show these instances off.
