@kcd.Spektor What is the Comms tab in the piloting system menu for?

Man that is a popular question
Well it's like this:
First I planned to make something like the chat window, but in the piloting interface, for NPC interactions and possibly quests.
But I haven't gotten to that yet.
Then when I decided to add possibility to communicate not only within sector but have the ability to send messages from ship to ship
I thought to make that in the piloting systems's comms tab.
Then When I started making it - I found it to be more complex to implement than I initially thought.
So I've decided that it is a lot easier to use the already working chat window and chat mechanic for that purpose, (also I wanted to release the 0.4 version asap) - so I did
And I just left the Comms button there as a place holder for when I will implement the NPC dialogs and more complex quests.
Or perhaps I will come up with some other idea and just remove the button.

Can you give me some feed back after you have tried the 0.4 version?

1. Did you like the changes in the new release?
2. Which changes did you like and/or dislike the most, and why?
3. What is your over all impression of the game?
4. What would you like to be added in the game next?
5. Also I'm planning on adding a help screen that is shown by pressing F1, - What do you think should be shown there(apart from Game controls)?

Well. Missile weapons, although they do require a missile to fire, still seem to be a bit overpowered, and seem to charge about the same time as laser weapons, making them a bit overpowered. I think that missile weapons should have a higher charge time than laser weapons.

And about price, I was thinking that the price of upgrading systems should scale with their current level
As in..
Coal Reactor level 2 - 30scrap
Coal Reactor level 3 - 50scrap
Coal Reactor level 4 - 60scrap
Coal Reactor level 5 - 75scrap
Coal Reactor level 6 - 80scrap

Or something like that, maybe less, maybe more, but It was just a though x3

BTW.
If anyone has an itch.io account - pls rate it

Wut???

I hope that players who were here for alpha get it for free, because.. you know... spektor loves us so much <3
