>What is it
Ever play FTL? Think that but everyone controls their own crewman
>What do I need to play?
You need AT LEAST Java version 8 to play
Download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ncax46az2kpwmwn/Tachyon.7z/file
Extract the archive someplace you can find it
>Whats in the link?
The game consists of 2 parts: Client and Server.
For windows users you can use the .exe file. For Mac and Linux you can use the .jar file.
If you want to play on your own server just run the server application and then the Client application.
>How do I connect?
Server IP is: 108.49.252.69
>It asks me to log-in
Create a simple username and a password. your username in game is your crewman name
>I want to make a long name
Don't, because in order to be added to a crew, the ship's captain needs to add you to their roster
>How do I play
Right Click to move around, there is a help button that will give you a run down of what things are and what the icons are.
>I want to add a custom ship
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyg23uGFw4I
Follow this video, If people can give me the proper files I can spawn them in at the space station
>Just an FYI we discovered you can set spawns to a ship you want if you get stuck at spawn and don't wannt wait

yep, each part of the ship can be used. Not only that but the ship can do two kinds of jumps, a in-system jump and the FTL jump. the in-system jump is useful for juking incoming fire. People on the stations help too, so a man on the engines gives a dodge bonus but also can maneuver the ship

This game has serious problems:
1 - There is nothing for anyone to do. One person steers the ship, one person is on weapons, everyone else walks about the rip randomly with no purpose. Each person can take a single weapon but this is pointless as a single person is capable of handling all weapons with ease. Others can board, which leads to
2 - Boarding ships is boring. Combat is simple point and click and there are no weapon selections.
3 - Hacking is too hard for brainlets
4 - The spawn system is basically no penalty for death. This combines with boarding ships is boring, because ultimately successfully boarding a ship is a simple process of throwing dead bodies at it until you capture it.
5 - The damage and repair system is far too simple. Simply stand in a compartment and auto-repair.
6 - There are not enough types of ship systems, which combines with 5, the damage system is boring.
This may seem overly harsh but after playing that sub-SS13 clone with more elaborate ship systems (which after a while still didn't seem like enough, most crew still had no purpose), tachyon's gameplay is ridiculously seems sparse. The SS13 sub-clone attempted to fix this with built-in ship trolling gameplay, but with tachyon the only way to troll the ship is to open doors and let O2 bleed out.
98b0c1 No.16601365

I admit barotrauma is more complex, you technically can have people on each weapon, fire control just increases the hit chance % . The repair system is how it works in FTL, people standing in the room automatically repair it.
Most of your criticism is pretty fair though. Today I'm hoping people join and we can continue

>Hacking is too hard for brainlets
Mastermind is not a hard game.
As for everything else, they're valid complaints.
Another complaint is the event system. As of now there's Unity and pirates. Unity being your (((greatest ally))) and (((traders))). Pirates are just nameless dudes on ships that attack on site. They spiced things up however with two pirate factions, orange and red. There's just not enough content in the game right now, it's extremely barebones. I still have hope for the game, it has a lot of potential.
It's pretty comfy once you get a crew together and all start working together.
dc73b6 No.16601446

>#1 Bare bones nothing to do.
Sure… I suppose. You can man the guns, you can't have only 1 person but you need at least 2 or 3 people. Sometimes 4. Not sure where you got solo number but your bias is showing.
>#2 Boarding ships is boring
Agreed, combat isn't that complex, point, and click, and stand. Just hoping DPS is faster. Could add melee weapons, personal shields/body armor, and more firearms, and honestly should be easier to kill people but your respawn would be longer. Ships can also try to board your ship, they would launch harpoons that would prevent you from leaving to a quick jump, and they got tough exoskeleton soldiers coming to board via spacewalk. You having to aim your shooting would be better as well. Upgrades for oxygen would be necessary, heavyer armor would also make you slower at least in ship, or having fuel for a space walk like how your oxygen timer counts down would be cool too.
>#3 hacking too hard
I suppose but sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. Wish that if someone else breaks a shield, you hacking don't have to break the same one again.
Different types of hacking minigames as well and some variation, like 2 shields to break but it's a 4 character password.
>#4 you have a time penalty. But it could be made where they have to recover your body or your new body is a Android or something that has limited features and skills that only your character could do. Thus, not wanting to throw away your body.
>#5 Damage and repair
Could be fixed with certain classes and maybe a minigame? Or just skill points and gear? Making repair a minigame would go back to muh minigame is too hard for brainlets.
>#6 Ship systems
Game is bare bones from what I heard. Not much to expect. Game might add more content, who knows, but it's pretty fun. But adding a classes and roles would lead to more greifing and maybe the devs don't want too much greifing.

I gotta agree, I'd love to see different weapons, and maybe a armory area that's 1x2 at it's most basic and the more advanced one is 2x2. From there you have a store of weapons you've either purchased, started with or captured.
> Not sure where you got solo number but your bias is showing.

Another problem with the game is that if you don't join at the start when the ships are at spawn you're fucked. You either have to wait at spawn to hope someone's feeling generous enough to come pick you up (and it can take a very long time to get back) or you build another ship with the dev shipyard and hope enough other people join that you have enough for a crew (which may never happen). This makes the game wholly unsuitable for a gamenight where people are dropping in whenever.
The game was pretty fun to fuck around with but there's just not enough there to make it worth playing for more than one evening.

You know what would be great for a game like this? Z-levels in ships for more space and some kind of incentive to have more people per ship that isn't more gun. Like hacking system or mind control system. And boarding really needs to be fixed somehow so that penalty for failing to do it is worse, otherwise it's possible to just human wave it assuming your ship can tank through everything.
I'd really love if anons could make a fork this somehow, but it doesn't look like it's open source.

The problem with /v/ gamenights is half the people wanna play videogames, and the other half are some major autists who see gamenights as a way of forcing a bunch of people to play a game the autist personally loves but can't find other players for. Half the time we get a decent gamenight like BF1942 or Worms, the rest of the time we get really poorly thought out gamenights like Diablo 2, SS13, or this shit.
The solution is to completely ignore anyone posting a gamenight thread that isn't the game we agreed on previously. No more of this retarded as fuck "Ok, I know we all agreed on game X last week, but I'M POSTING THE THREAD AND HOSTING GAME Y, GET IN NOW YOU NIGGERS!!!"

It's pretty fucking simple requirements. Can support over 10 players, good for drop-in-drop-out gameplay, no learning curve, can be hosted. Diablo 2 fails the drop-in-drop-out requirement(even failed the learning curve requirement seeing as how half the people who showed up spent most of their time asking questions about basic stuff), SS13 and this both fail the learning curve requirement, and this game also fails the drop-in-drop-out requirement.
I'm not saying no new games are allowed, I'm saying the games picked should meet the simple requirements to help enable a fun gamenight where we don't spend most of our time helping people learn how to play or trying to guide new players so they aren't seat fillers.

I didn't play UT 2004 for about a decade until that night and I was beating all of you fair and square. Consider that most people on /v/ are bad at video games and you've proven it by thinking I was cheating in a game night that's supposed to be about having fun. I even won matches using only the goo gun, so you can't accuse me of using aim bot. Considering how you didn't even know how to manage the server, I can't say I'm surprised you would think I was cheating.

2 years ago bunch of fags made the FTL clone in SS13 with space travel ship-to-ship combat and boarding enemy ships
it was laggy even on ss13 scale though, especially on FTL travel

I followed the development of that and the devs din't know what the fuck they were doing.
They couldn't remove random event triggers so every 50 minutes the ship had to be evaquated because of meteors, enough carps to make moby dick cry eating away at the flimsy windows leading into space, or a blob spawning, meaning no objectives were accomplished in the mayority of rounds.
They still had antags on the ship regardless of the need. And service roles that would have been banned by any sane person on a MILITARY COMBAT SHIP like Clown, Mime, Assistant, etc.
You could still build scientific shit on the vessel because they poured all effort into tacking the FTL mechanics ontop of SS13 and did the bare minimum on everything else.
With almost invariably the same result as with any SS13 server, it was still TTT in space except sometimes the ship moves now, or gets holes. Complete shitfest were you couldn't even have the security officers arrest people for breaking shit because of terrible admins hailing from other stations and a terrible Code of Conduct bullshit.
You couldn't really board enemy ships until they were destroyed because security has no armored EVA suits in their shit and guns are very limited, so an strikeforce would just be a bunch of assistants with spears. If they don't cause a mutiny themselves to call the emergency pods just because they din't roll antag. Even if you did raid an enemy ship and salvage shit, the only thing enemy ships dropped was Nitrogen canisters and very rarely, mounted ship lasers, that's it.
GOD FORBID if the ship decides to move while you're outside, like in space repairing a hole or in a trading station gathering crates of materials. You're effectively dead and with no way of communicating to the ship that you're not with them anymore, unless someone notices or you use OOC/adminhelp to get someone to teleport you back. Even worse if it's on a random pocket of space as you'll be deleted from the game after 5 minutes because of how they coded random space locations to use a trash collector so they wouldn't fill with Carps.
Engineering din't even get a retouch. They just used the supermatter shard because everyone uses that in Baystation and now TG, despite being a TERRIBLE idea and there existing PACMAN Uranium generators, which supposedly combat ships in the universe use alongside Antimatter generators becase they're much safer, at least according to lore. Worse of all, it's a supermatter shard you're not getting power from with radiation, rather it's the hot loop bottleneck of a very ineffiecient Turbine engine and your main source of O2 and Plasma which you have to filter.
Even if nothing is happening, the mechanics are cobbled together so badly the crew has absolutely no idea of what's happening even if they're inside the command bridge even while in combat. Enemy ships never board the vessel and instead just randomly blow holes into it when attacking. This makes it incredibly boring for everyone involved, specially with crews of up to 50+ people it just quickly turns into chaos.

I don't know why people want to build off of the SS13/BYOND engine in the first place.
From your account the devs sound lazy and/or incompetent.

Captain of the Osprey can't make it. Assume I'm going down with the ship.

>>16604998
To be fair, BYOND CAN pull off FTL gameplay, as seen by the spaceship/jetpack/fighter combat of Corporate Mercenaries. The problem with FTL13 is that they're basing their work ontop of bloated ass modern SS13 instead of doing shit from scratch or with an old barebones codebase, and their devs had absolutely no idea how anything worked at all on the existing systems they were building ontop.

yeah it could be boring, Jeb and I are working on a few scenarios for the next time we possibly do this including

In anycase here's the gamenight's server files. If/when we host it next time it'll be a fresh start.
Till next time guys, it was fun
