Puslar Lost Colony

Probably a lot has changed since anons last played this, most notably you can travel the universe as intergalactic biscuit salesmen now. For those who don't know what this game is, it's a game that allows 5 autists to try and operate a starship together and have Trek /strek/ like adventures exploring strange new worlds, blowing up unique civilizations and boldly fucking up where no man has fucked up before. In short it can be pretty comfy. There's VOIP but it rarely if ever works sadly so doubt many will hear your micspam. I though anons might enjoy trying this so:

What classes do what?
The Boss Of The Ship, makes decisions, buys and sell shit for the ship and upgrades it, gives everyone their pocket money. Sadly you can't solve problems with your dick – yet – so no Kirk vibes. Average Captain will bumble around like Archer or be completely batshit tyrannical bipolar like Janeway.
Flies the ship. Generally looks after it when there is boarding action going on. If you are a fan of /cuteboys/ then you are pretty much Sulu.
Researcher, Hacker, Archaeologist and Healslut all rolled into one. Can provide AoE healing if upgraded, search for artefacts using a scanner, and use hacking programs in space combat. Basically McCoy and Spock rolled into one.
Operates the big gun on the ship as well as the nukes, but also good a boarding action and ground combat. Basically if you suck at this role you are accurately playing as Mr Worf.
The ship's Tech Priest. Keeps the ship running and autistically screeches at you if you come near Engineering. So basically Scotty.

Useful hints
You earn talent points to spend on useful abilities when you level up.
When you explore planets look for research materials. They can be used to unlock new abilities.
Avoid Infected Space unless you are a crew of Australians who have managed to weaponize shitposting.
Fuel capsules can be used to recharge your hacking programs, but also keep in mind you need them to warp.

Sadly I don't have anymore points I can think of, been so long since I played myself and I lost the out of date OC that gives a rundown for these threads.

fucking biscuits? all the unrealized potential in this game, and biscuits?
what the fuck were they thinking?

I'll play if someone hosts.

The gun built for depression rather than suppression perfecty illustrates how I feel about fucking up my OP title.

They clearly should have focused on baking cakes and my OP would have gotten a sticky immediately by Mark.

the 1 comment that that dev blog got was praise of all things.

i guess this really isn't a popular game.

Oh look a pulsar thread.

They have had a thing for biscuits for a while. I'm hoping they will hurry the fuck up and finish the game but I do have to admit they have stayed on track. They are way over their estimate though.

My one grip with this game is that it call takes place from jump to jump, almost wasted potential without being able to freely travel, but it is a team of like 3 dudes.

Playerbase seems pretty healthy for what is a niche game
Also
Nobody in their right mind bought and plays using the Steam version.

What usually happens is anons have fun for a couple of weeks then get burned out cause there isn't much to do once you max out a ship.

large seamless places are hard.

can you mod this? it's failing is the over simplified systems. if they turned this into multi-crew DCS then it would be perfect, but I think they're marketing to 5 year olds.

There still is no end game other than
I hope these next updates start to finish the game.

I remember playing this few years ago was pretty fun.

Missed this post earlier. I am not sure I will be hosting tonight or tomorrow for that matter but I will see if I get a chance to host during this weekend.

Cool.

The worst part is that "slamming our heads against the infected" is entirely pointless. If you could reclaim infected space or just accomplish SOMETHING there it would be fine, but nothing happens even when you win, you don't even get decent loot.

For me, endgame is just grinding to become stronger. Piracy until you find whatever the max level ship components are, if there even is a max.

Just found a guide have no idea if it's still valid.

luckily they added biscuits now to take it out of pre-beta status. the game is practically complete now that the biscuits have finally arrived.

i swear i cannot wrap my head around these biscuits. a group of people sat around a table and and someone said, you know what's missing from this game? biscuits! we need a better in-game economy, so the solution? biscuits! we'll make crafting recipies for biscuits and the players can run around and try to shill these biscuits to all the npc's! and what's the point? a biscuit leaderboard! you can compete with other npc ships that are running around shilling their own biscuits! this will be the end game! maybe we'll add some special biscuit DLC later too!

these people must be eating marijuana biscuits all day long when they're working on this game to think this is a great idea. it is a great idea if your also eating marijuana biscuits while playing this, i can see how that would be entertaining.

I actually looked into this. Apparently there is more "sinister" side to the biscuit selling. If you don't sell biscuits you get gassed, but if you meet the objectives and come top you unlock new accessories for your player model. There's also supposedly industrial sabotage missions and using gas on your competitors.
If this turns out to be true I may rethink my stance on the Fluffy Biscuit Company.

Wait as in poison gas? Are you saying you can literally shoah the galaxy while appearing as an innocent biscuit company?

yes

It's time to deliver some biscuits.

Holocaust Biscuit Squad Deploy!

Can your weapon still overheat to absurd numbers?

server?

How the fuck do you play with other people, it used to be you could just boot it up and find a game.

Not anymore.
This shit was fun as fuck years ago.

I made that something like three years ago. I should get around to creating a new one.

accurate

Praise the octopus god.

PRAISE THE OCTOPUS GOD
PRAISE HIM
HIS WAY IS HOLY
BLIND WARP FOR THE OCTOPUS GOD

Changed region in options?

May be on a bit late tonight. Managed to pick up the flu.
If any anons want to host in meantime feel free.

Is this loss?

Jews and Golems in a space station, who'd knew?

Biscuits is clearly code for drugs

Nice, that was a really good session.

truly a visual masterpiece

Taking a break for a bit.

...

Devs fell for the Unity meme, game runs at 20 fps on 800x600 for some anons. Thankfully I'm not one of them:^)

This game was boring as hell. Did they patch in fun?

How does this run on integrated graphics?
My GPU died.

see

like shit, but it does run. and only on windows. if you have intel integrated on linux mesa drivers don't support the opengl version they're forcing yet.

Y'all need a better pilot.

I think he needs some Viagra.

Can you still kill the ship's power by flipping three switches?

yes, and make sure you eject the core for extra fun. you should do this one every public server you encounter when using the pirated client.

I really wish Bro Team did more of these. His Pulsar vids were gold.

This is what annoys me about this game, was it designed by Canadians?
