So Star Trucker just release (3 Sep 2024) and I couldn't be happier!
The last three "awaited releases" from steam have been so disappointing. I need one that delivered what it promised. For once, the team at Raw Fury (RF) didn't disappoint!
Now.....that's not to say that the game is perfect. Far from it. Basic oversights have been made. I would hope for speed, but I am confident that RF will get to these in due course.
Dear Santa, would you please fix..
- Custom Key Binding - This one boggles my brain hole! Custom Key binging is a BASIC accessibility feature. Not everyone (including myself) can use or fully use a damn keyboard! Give players the ability to re-assign key bindings
- PROPER Truck RCS package - Back in the 1960's when NASA and the Soviets were racing to be the first into space, they both came across a problem that caught them off-guard. Miles before they got into space they found the pilots lost control of the TEST vehicle once the air started to become thin! In space, wings don't do shit Bubba! Shazam! RCS was born! RCS or Reaction Control Systems give the pilot the ability to control their craft through PITCH, ROLL and YAW. More importantly, ALTITUDE and SPEED adjustment. Without moving the stick, pilots could increase/decrease altitude/speed. This made controlling their craft much easier. Many years later, RCS made DOCKING almost a doddle for the Apollo crews to dock the Command Module with the Lunar Excursion Module. So, dear Santa, please have the Dev's add PROPER RCS CONTROLS! They can play with a Sidewinder in Elite:Dangerous if they don't understand 🙂
- Battery Life - So far most of the game is spent going from shop to shop buying batteries. The Current lifecycle needs to be doubled!
- Battery Availability - This is a MUST HAVE item and yet, you are not always guaranteed that a shop will carry batteries. I have had to re-start several games because I got into a death loop:
run out air >>> die and get recovered >>> leave to go get batteries at the shop >>> shop has no batteries >>> go the beginning of loop!
EVERY FUCKING SHOP SHOULD CARRY BATTERIES!!
- Target Compass - Dear Santa, add the target compass from Elite:Dangerous. So I know where in the system I need to go (because the text labels are hidden!)
- Shop Key Binding - When you dock at the Shop, the shop window appears. When you do...whatever...the shop windows closes. To open it again you have to get out of your seat, walk back to the airlock, click on the airlock door, this re-opens the shop dialog. SO STUPID!! Please map this to a key!
- Swap the control on the chair! - Single seat craft have the throttle on the LEFT of the pilot and control stick to the RIGHT of the pilot! Unless this truck is like a commercial airliner? I think not! Please swap them!
Thank you Santa!
Love
Little Bobby Gamer
