Sorry for the delay. Its an installed java problem i assume. Can you please do the following:
1) Open the folder with game in explorer. Press SHIFT+MOUSE_RIGHT on empty space on the explorer (do not click on any file).
2) Should appear context menu with the line "open command line" or something like this. Click on this. Black window (cmd) should be openned
3) Type in cmd following command in quotes "WarUniverse.Desktop.exe"
4) Copy or scrshot which text is appeared after that on cmd. Thats usually reports whats wrong

And if that's true why do we all spawn at the same map? I mean sure, probably you made it temporary so people can try out PVP and such without having to travel long distance, but the problem is that people are people and soon enough some geared up guy will camp new players at the spawn and they wont be able to try out the nice game you made.

Everybody reborns on the start map for each fraction. If not, its a bug

Edit: mah it isn't open-source?

No, its not open source. As i see servers with public code generates more problems than anything else.

How long will the x2 day stay for today? Also happy to see the auction working and looking forward to new npcs and hopefully a bunch of new players

EDIT: Also currently i see like 4 ranks or so,are there new ones to be added or staying at the current amount?

So encountered the first Problems after some PvP Fights,everything is fine besides it seems AntiShield-Ammo deals x3 Dmg which kinda breaks the whole fight,cause x4 cant stand a chance if your getting sabbed for more than you deal dmg. It should be lowered to x2 ,then its fine again und you can only AS-Ammo him if your going full Damage.

If you minimize your Window(PC Version Only) he Window closes completely throwing you out of the game,which isnt that big of a problem,but better safe than sorry

Else everythings fine and should stay the same,don't even change the graphics,they are something special and despite some guys saying they suck,ih think they suit the game well!

Yeah AS is far too strong, I said that day 1 lol. HimerOK could you give a list of the ranks and the percentage for them? So far I've only seen like Basic Space Piolrt, Captain, Major General (2 Star in DO) and Marshall (General in DO).

[HimerOK]

Ranks:
Private, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Colonel, Major General, Colonel General, General, Marshal

Generals and marshal are few peoples, other ranks is counting by percentage. May be its not enough players to see all ranks

Thanks for report about minimizing, will fix it.

Antishield ammo is not so powerful for real fight in DO i think. So yes, i did it with x3 damage. If you think that this is not good - i can easy turn x2 back

X2 action till the next update. New maps ready, im working on npcs Tomorrow it will be here.

[Darkstorm23]

Antishield should definitely be x2,it kinda breaks PvP.
Ready for new Maps and hopefully soomething to do with btcs :P

Best Regards DespairZ

P.S If you cant write ingame cause of connection problems,just send an Epvpers-Mail,will look after it then

Or or just make it do 3x on NPC and 2x on PVP, like how you have it for attacks. How they can't miss on NPC but can on PVP.

Okay so for balancing I think the best thing to do would be to have the DO alien stats atm and add in more aliens to match how many are in DO's X-1 - X-4 maps (Then add the Hyper to G1, just like 4-5). Because you made the ships the same as early DO, so it would be fine to have the same stats. So like Jenta are say Streuners, Mali are Lordakia, Plu (the new ones) are like Saimon or Mordons, etc, etc. The Kingston should be the BK, so add it to U3 atm, until you make uppers (U4-U?). The rates should be like 3-4x normal DO, that's more than enough (So Jenta would be like 1600 BTC, 4 PLT, 8 Honor, and like 1600 EXP or whatever the EXP is for a Strenuer x4 and whites could maybe be the same as the PLT value) So a Mali would be like 8 Whites and 8 PLT the Plu (new ones) would be like 16-32 PLT and Whites and 12,800 EXP and 64 Honor, etc, etc, etc) Would have 20k HP and 10k Shields.

Because atm all aliens are weak minus the Kingston (Which is next to impossible without like 2-3 people all using x2-x3) and that's not good balance. All the aliens would deal the DO damage so it would be a bit more challenging, since atm everything hits like 100-300.

Just an idea. You could always re balance it in the future when you add more features, so it doesn't turn too easy when you add upgrades and everything else.

[Darkstorm23]

So the current npcs are giving kinda low rewards,but arent that hard to kill either it just takes some time to get PLT,which is fine cause no one has to expect getting FE in just a few hours,old DO wasn't like that aswell,if you weren't paying.

So currently the only NPC that is somewhat challenging is the Kingston(~14k dmg) and i think the reward is around 1,1k PLT and 280 Whites or so,but the only way killing it is by spending a good amount of white,while also having the necessatity to already be FE,so you deal around 18-21k dmg.

As you said there are coming new and more rewarding/harder Npcs and thats fine,atm you can farm the little ones which is okayish for new players and bigger players can eventually help them out because you its quite easy to kill them with Red-Ammo while not wasting any of your vaulable Ammo(not making plus using PLT-Ammo anyways^^)

So one thing that bothers me in some way is the auction. It surely is a nice feature to get some stuff not having to spend that hard to earn 10k PLT on a LG-3,but currently there are not many players so everyone just gets stuff for 1 Btcs cause no ones bidding and thus making PLT useless.

So one way to make this less of a problem is,to have a 6 or 12 hour auction round,so maybe 2-4 times a day,so everyone can safe up Btcs for their needed items and truly have to bid and risk losing a whole lot of money if its not enough. That way the auction still stays a place to get your items but not by bidding a single btc and hope no one comes on.

Or you can set a minimum bid for every Item like 1 Million Btcs for every 1k PLT the item usually costs and in the case of the Ares lets say 20 Million cause the cost is different for everyone depending on their current equipment.

Next Point,as we talked before adding rockets surely is healthy for the game if the price isnt too high for the btc ones but a good amount PLT for the better ones,so not everyone is shooting with PLT ones cause their cheap af.

So to get to the higher equipped players: Currently btcs are just there to get more and more and more,not doing anything. There are some ways you can change that, either by puting x2 Ammo for a lot of Btcs in the Shop or just simply add some Ship-Designs,with small bonuses for like 250-500 Million btcs,granting like 5-10% Dmg/HP/Shd but also require you to already own a Hyperion so its not a Bcs alternative.
Can also add better Versions of the Btcs Design for PLT afterwards so there is still something to grind for,price should be around 300-400k PLT i think.

Thats all i can think of atm,hopefully not too much of a textwall to read^^

You can also add something like pilot bio with small bonuses f.e by a lot of BTCs or with PLT and btc. There is still a lot of work before you anyway GL

[xXxmithraxXx]

The auction is awesome but it has a failure, the players that are already FE with the 8 ARES are bidding for ARES making the new players very hard to grow... SO i think a good method would be to prevent the FE players to bid on ARES when they are already full.

First Hi ,
Iam playing for one Day and the game you made is really well done ! Props to you.
The Graphics is not so important when the feeling is right ;D.

I play on my Phone (OnePlus 3T, Android) because i cant get it run on the PC i have to work with. Windows 7 HP, Java Installed and i tryed to solve the Problem like you sayed (1) Open the folder with game in explorer. Press SHIFT+MOUSE_RIGHT on empty space on the explorer (do not click on any file).
2) Should appear context menu with the line "open command line" or something like this. Click on this. Black window (cmd) should be openned
3) Type in cmd following command in quotes "WarUniverse.Desktop.exe"
4) Copy or scrshot which text is appeared after that on cmd. Thats usually reports whats wrong) but nothing happens when i execute the WarUniverse.Desktop.exe in the Explorer or in CMD. Reinstalling Java didnt helped either. But this isnt that big problem because i have still my Phone.

So now i have some ideas for the Future
- A Group system
- Minimal bet of (Maybe) 500k or lower/higher to avoid this 1 btc bets.
- Cargo boxes from dead Aliens
- Better Clan system (Clan War, BND, NAP) But requieres more players to be usefull
- Some Ship Desgins (5% DMG, 10% Shield, 5% more EXP etc)
- More Auctions (one a Day, one a Week ?) For the new Designs or other Stuff
- Galaxy Gates with BTC/PLT (With special Ship Designs, Equipment, Ammo ect)

That are my ideas for now.
When you decide to put some German in the Game, i could translate text for you

Sorry for my english
I try my best ^^

Best Regards

He has plans for all of that, just takes time. The next update should hopefully be more aliens, uppers, and better alien balance (Hopefully DO stats with higher payouts). Aliens are simply too easy (Minus the Kingston, which isn't even worth fighting). Cost like 1300 PLT worth of ammo just to kill it lol.

[P4Alpha]

So the Desktop Application needs Java RE 1.7.0 to Run. Ich have the newest Version installed bitte it die Not Run. Sorry dir the grammar bitte the Auto Correction at my Phone ist very disapointing wegen it is dir German and you try to write Something in english ^^

[Dezik]

Time to add boxes, GG and Havoc drone! And add Apis , Zeus ( part drones drop in GG with 50% , how and Havoc with 50%) Best idea.

[Darkstorm23]

Just simply no,its a 2010ish based game so no Havocs etc.,so it will stay at 8 drones aswell,if you have no idea how 2010 was just dont even start coming up with ideas

[Dezik]

Mb only add GG?
