@alex@peoplemaking.games my drop off in social media posting is clearly because I am choosing to not take my phone into the can with me
@Craigp@mastodon.social my own opinion about space combat games is that too many of them pretend to be dogfights in space when it doesn't make any sense that a spaceship would require a pilot to manually target things.
I'd leverage all the stuff you are talking about to basically have the player do literally nothing but systems energy management while moving their fighter in and out of fire arcs. That would be awesome.
@Craigp@mastodon.social my biggest beef with satisfactory is that builds are like pulling fucking teeth until you unlock a few things so you can do it from up in the air.
I'm honestly surprised they haven't added a god's eye build mode that's just restricted to a radius around your character. Wouldn't be that hard and would drastically improve the early game.
@Craigp@mastodon.social oh I want that too -- I legimitately loved the outside of game spreadsheet aspect to Eve Online way more than I liked actually playing it.
Building and customizing ships and then sending them on their way? Sign me up!
@Craigp@mastodon.social could be interesting but sometimes you just want some space shooteyshoot
