Space combat

[magic loom]

i feel that space combat is kinda useless and that there is really no incentive to try to fight in space, and that there is no reason to use any other ship besides the rust bucket.

perhaps a after raid reword system for ships destroyed/immobilized depending on the size of said ship.
or maybe ai ships could roam the map, and said ai ships could have a little loot box inside them like in the cockpit as a successful boarding reward per say.

i just hope Murderers takes advantage of this feature of the game that sets it apart from other looter shooters.

the devs said in their last blog about space combat rework and they were collecting the feedback some months ago, sooo we may see something in this direction in future

I really hope we do get some more meat on the space combat bone

AI ships with loot boxes onboard are already in the game.

[mild nebula]

you mean the red baron?

[amber pecan]

We got 3 AI ships currently in the game. A Light Scout manned by 3 Raiders/Raider Bosses, a Light Interceptor manned by 4 Raiders/Raider Bosses and the Strike Frigate of the Red Baron.

oh, really? wait, how do i tell its ai and not a player?

[amber pecan]

And a fourth is on the way with the K.A. Bomber Crew boss.

Bot ships fly circles around the bottom part of the map and keep flying even when they are disabled. And the Red Baron also shoots down other bot ships.

okay, thanks for the heads up! i never knew that!

actually, i have another question, but i'll go to #🙋︱questions with it

ai ships are rare though sadly and really not much loot on em

[amber pecan]

I found the AI Raider ships a lot during the last days. Like every 5th raid or so but yeah besides the Raider Boss gear there isn't much and even the Raider Boss gear is mid-tier most of the time.

I would like to see them show up more frequently, pretty sure most people would.

They did put more loot on the ships than there used to be, don't think they are really meant to be a treasure trove though since you get to take the ship if you want to.

b-but the grenade launcher...

[steel siren]

the nerf dart launcher??

[amber pecan]

What's with the China Lake?

[tacit cloud]

You can literally farm it on the ship and it's the best support weapon. And there are 1-4 grenades on raider boss wielding it

[amber pecan]

Yeah, I'm aware of this. That's why I said their gear is mid-tier most of the time. PSH Helmet and China Lake are definitely high-tier gear while the rest is mid to low-tier.
