The dreaded--request for enhancements...

Post by faith1 »

Not talking about additional ships/missions etc...those would be nice but...

I want more....story. History. Background.

I know the basics but I want to know more about the Zolons and others. When I finished the campaign I was left with a rather empty feeling. Pretty much a "WTF!?" only not in a good way. It was anti-climatic in the extreme. Mainly because some things happen (trying to avoid spoilers here) and I have absolutely no reference as to how or why they happened that way. No background. Makes it come across like a rather contrived ending which I don't think is the intent.

I want to give a damn about my fellow commanders. The "letters" you get from your bud is an excellent example of heading in the right direction. I want more stuff like that.

If I'm commander of a destroyer squadron then make some of the other commanders of the other ships someone I know...fellow Academy grads or old friends etc. Give them varying abilities. Make me CARE about them rather than just using them for the cannon fodder like I do now.

It's like there is so much promise and on the surface a lot of game...but it needs some more "depth" to the story here...

You'll find most of the background information in the Starshatter manual.

I've read the manual... it's pretty light in that respect but I'm talking more of the other game factors as well...
