Quoting: TheSHEEEPDid you actually play the game?
In something larger than the smallest ship?

I am not beko, but… Why would one use anything other than "the smallest ship"? :grin:

Anything other than a modded-out Chimera with Split Mk4 Combat Engines is soooo slow (technically, the Pegasus and T scouts are faster, but one can not pilot T and Pegasus is almost useless as a fighter).
But if you insist on being "large and in charge", there are turret control settings. Just set them to "Attack My Current Enemy" ant they shall be quiet and behaving if you do not actually select the "enemy" station in question.

Besides, if you are that close to an NPC station while fighting enemies, you should rethink your piloting strategy: close proximity to a station strips you of maneuverability: no dashes, no tactical repositioning, no engine-sniping, just plain-old board-to-board line battle. These board-to-board battles are meant for "Linear Ships" (suited for "Line of Battle" [External Link] tactics ) i. e. "Battleships". And we know the only battleships in the game are Xenon ones. :wink:

Corollary: We shall complain more. :grin:

Seriously though, this hardly matters. So far we did not see many core underlying shifts in OS distribution channels, with only one company (I forgot which one, Dell or Lenovo) starting to optionally provide pre-installed Linux on some notebooks. The rest are just "recommending" (yeah, we know of the deal they made to get certification/cheap licenses) "Windows™ 10™". ;)

🤣 you killed me

Ah, sorry, I have just misquoted the Teladi rep. :)

For anyone interested though, the correct quote is "Stop your attack immediately! You will now suffer the consequences!". :whistle:

It has arrived on last Thursday, AFAIK.

But not on GOG, of course.

Quoting: beko

Quoting: TheSHEEEPOnly 2-3 years remaining until playability...

I assume they still haven't fixed the bug/idiotic design that shots which hit your allies turn them hostile towards you so that whenever you try to aid an ally you actually end up at war with them.

Oh my…

* That's only temporary - just leave for a while
* Watch Your Fire!
* Does iirc not apply for OOS fights (no friendly fire computation)

This. :)

Plus, there are far more concerning issues than troubles of a player who does not care where he/she is firing a six-barreled machinegun.

War with Argon in Teladi space, for example: it is apparently totally OK for Argon ships to blast you away right in front of (presumably, allied to you) Teladi (both factions) without repercussions, but the instant you return fire…
"Hold it right there, villain! In the name of The Moon, we will punish you!"

UPDATE: Now it is available on GOG.

"Now, we won’t be getting EVERSPACE 2 supported on Linux…"
This reminds me a lot of other projects. IMO, "Unreal Engine == Stay Away". That's why I never pre-order.

I always have said: Release it on Linux, and we will will talk, but not sooner.

The "Attentat 1942" is also available DRM-free on itch.io [External Link].

To be fair, that user just got confused by Steam™'s warning and was under impression it would not run on Catalina because it is "not 32-bit compatible" (which means it is a 64-bit game) and the developer confirmed that several users have reported the game working just fine in Catalina (which it should be as a 64-bit game).

The fact we are starting to see Mac refugees on Linux means something truly terrible have happened there. Normally that crowd would swear by MacOS. :unsure:

It seems the questions about WINE and Proton™ usage have been removed…
