Unfinished forever?

[Rubicant]

An answer, yes. A satisfying one, no. Sure it´s nice that he responded to all those emails. But you don´t have to be a genius to understand that this one

Rubicant, I don't think the problems are as big as you think they are. And you haven't played long enough to see any bugs. In this threa was said admin was gone for weeks, yet he answered in 1-2 days. The last bug report I made was fixed very soon after I reported it to my delight. The admins made this game while they have full time jobs and a life, they do their best to keep the game going and updates do come( and bug reports are fixed).

Thanks for successfully ignoring my solution and the problems posted by various old users in this thread, Al. If you are so damned happy with it, stay as you are. I had enough of trying to change the situation. Everythings said and there´s nothing else to say about this topic.

Thanks Ruben for your fast response... I was trying to explain to these guys/gals that a free game doesn't mean that it has to be your one and only objective in life to take care of... keep up the great work... spacetrace is a darn good game... kudos to you...

I still enjoy ST for some of the reasons Ruben pointed out.
It is stragety based...real time. It has a few bugs but the most serious one IMO is the clock timer. This can't be fixed without rewriting all the code or some such similar extreme mods.
With that said, the game, considering what I'm paying is pretty good.
When I get into serious war, I like the head to head, 2 people on line fighting it out.
The clock timer currently does not update quick enough to allow this effectively and it can end up in an exercise in frustration.

With that said, the game works very well although some little mods could be done to animate some things like "ships on planets" and admin would not have to go in and re-seed the planets on occassion.

I can't play serious right now due to time constraints but I do log on almost every day and keep my research going.
I also build fleets to send out with full expectation of being retailated back usually while I'm off line.

It fills in a little time while I have some spare time but to be able to take it serious, I just can't right now. My contribution now is to provide legitimate targets for other players and try to build a fleet that challenges other players wether I'm on line or not.

As someone said, The game is like a boat that has no helmsman", I don't really care where we drift, I get some nibbles on my fleets winning some, losing some and enjoying the banter that takes place here on the forum and through PM's

ST is slowly getting less players , but you can't get players to play if they don't like this kind of gameplay . Maybe we need to recrute from other games , or more advertising on games sites . I don't see big changes in gameplay since I joined , all we need is more players. cause more active players gives more battles more wars etc so all try to get other players to like/join and mostly stay in this game . I have been arround for a while now and still like the basics of this game only need more targets arround in my neighbourhood ( and I don't mean to bash noobs ) .

Yewah, admin is right... I am sorry that i wasn't active all that time, but i need time to get creative again - it is important to have some distance to this .... my favorite project : spacetrace.

there are still a lot of things on the to do list, but we will take care of it. The next thing we will do is the new navigation panel - to make it more intuitive.

spacetrace is a long term game and project of us, there may be times with stagnation, but we will never leave it alone

you must understand we need some time for inspiration and other stuff.

thanks spacetrace. that summed it up for me.

[Noxus]

I hate to say this but i lost my 'lust' for spacetrace as well. but doesn't mean i wont in the future. Just putting in my 2 cents, but...

I think we need to add some new ships/race." Make use of the player created ships. So what if they are some times not reasonable, just make a ship that'll destory that one. And i think this game could fix itself and incorporate the ideas of its users.

So pretty much I think its the lack of change and action. It should be easy enough to incorporate user based ships into the game.


Anywho, miss you guys and hope to see some of you soon on the battlefield. I don't want to see this game crash because it holds a lot of sentamental value for me. But i guess you could call me a hypocrite for not doing my best to keep it going. Although i'm going through a hard time right now just through college and the ever-so-faithful economy that America has. But anywho, when summer or christmas comes around i hope to pop my head back into old times.

Much Love,
Noxus-
