This is AWESOME! It may be unstable, needs tested, BUT WILL BE AWESOME IF WORKS FOR YOU!

Hello,

Patch M.4: THE BIG TIME! If you like this, it will only get better! Support the development if you enjoy this experience! Let me know if you want more of this.

Patch notes & |\ |\ |\\
.............................o..o...|
......................................o

1) This is my party. There are many like it, but this is my party:
Most MMORPGS do not allow static parties of characters you meet along the way because everyone would have them, but Starfighter General has fragmented dimensions so you can have a party of the same characters as everyone else, but they change over time.

2) If you like the story, it only gets better.

3) Soft Pinball Hardcore: If you don't win at first, try, try again. That's the POINT of a video game. This isn't everyone gets a trophy immediately. No hand holding super care bear garbage of other MMORPG. Still, the more time you put in, the more powerful you become. Starfighter General is Hardcore, but totally fair. You'll come to really trip out how addicting that nature is.

Play once a day on your Challenge MMODE! Level up your Clash! Or if you want to support a man who's been ripped off decades of work, and you want to see more story and more Starfighter General, pump and dump quarters in. This is not a quarter eater, but if you let it be one, you'll make the gaming industry a better place.

Try and beat all the starter missions. It may take you days, weeks, or months, but you'll get powerful and skillful to do it.

This patch is insanely awesome...

-Significant performance boost with many many to come. This is lean ware-Opposite of Bloat ware.
On top of DOTS/ECS, will become the most FPS efficient, mass enemies on screen and wild AI scripting you ever saw.
Still, we plan on growing to take up massive massive hard drive space with original sounds, music, voices, images, videos, etc.
By charging you significantly less than competitors, you can buy an extra hardrive and then some.

-Retro thrust now has a lower top velocity(Top velocities exist for now because of radiation and debris mitigation, later you can fly reckless and take damage at higher speeds.)

-Repair Bay should have functionality-Reduces respawn of Challenge MMODE by 5 minutes per level. Gave a bad patch note last one

-Clash Display Base States mode returns and UI prettified

-The Show has more defense

-Targetting window shows distance always now.

-Misc bug fixes.
==================== Coming SOON Updates ====================
==================== Coming SOON Updates ====================
==================== Coming SOON Updates ====================

Allow management of fleet and upgrade of allies.

I am looking forward to dropping multiple items, modularia and uses for them.

I want to put the skills in.

3 bars of health/armor/shield for targetted enemy/ally/base.

Actual quality patch notes.

Overhaul of Steam store.

Rendering engine overhaul to triple frames per second.

More missions

==================== KNOWN ISSUES ====================
==================== KNOWN ISSUES ====================
==================== KNOWN ISSUES ====================
Upgrades haywire-will be fixed next patch

Junkyard sometimes renders bad- who cares, its just there for some spice up til next missions.

Narrarator voice needs a professional touch.

Final mission script needs some polish.

If you have inventory up when you die, it could stay up during Clash mode.

The fix for most issues is turning it on and off again. Aka exiting out, come back.

We're mass developing so for every 20 steps forward, maybe 1 thing goes back... Then in the long run that gets fixed too. Don't worry, really just relax.

Restarting a mission at base which triggers show and mission to spawn gets cut off the first frame, but you saw it before because it only happens on a mission redo.

-----------------Every Patch Goal until story arc completed:
-Trying to push story further.
-Adding tech.
-Fixing Bugs

==================== Future Updates Roadmap ====================
==================== Future Updates Roadmap ====================
==================== Future Updates Roadmap ====================

->Non Stop Missions in Star System Sol until that story arc panned out and the next enters.
The story line will progress until it's a fully functional AI empowered Space Opera, with aliens who seem like real people interacting with you with
personalities, ambition goals, heat of the moment emotions, profession, attributes, lexicon, catch phrases, and history of interacting with you
and other players with voice communication: Both you and aliens. This Memento system will surprise you that NPC actually ROLE play better than
the average person. Still roleplay will be encouraged so you gain access to live game masters. This will enable warp drive so the stars you see are the actual ones that warp by you.(tech tried and tested, but other tech is needed)

-> What's next timeline

1) Buy/sell better ships, etc
2) Shooting Asteroids drop random elemental solids
3) Modularia useful.
4) Multi drops, more rares, uncommons
->Skills in
->Radar
->Re-enable Intelligent flight for allies to not fly into obsticles
->Better targetting & Multi Targetting of friend/foe/neutral/quest...

->Transfer between shields/thruster/weapons power
->more sanity loss special effects
->Fleet General Commands to allies of flight style: ie defend me, skirmish(fight optimally), attack target, bomb target, evasive manuevars, flee(rout) ta

->Enable reduction in manueverability based on encumberance, volume limit of cargo

->Weapon escalation:
I) rockets/homing missile/cluster rockets, rocket spam mitigated by chaff, ECM, or a bold force shield ejection
II) Lasers will always hit, and heat up your ship, so you're encouraged to rotate your ship's sides to absorb heat in multiple places.
III) Bombs you need to travel in a straight line without much damage for 7 seconds ->very long range for shelling bases out of turret range
IV) Rail Gun
V) Destroyers/Capital Ships
VI)

->traders and galactic encounters randomly, get cosmos gems to access untold areas, maps of places no one can get to...

->Cockpit overlays

->Enable Sensory OVERLOAD automated trading->fly by someone with trades open... Boom suggests it

->Crafting based on real world Molecular structures, make materials out of periodic chart elements, and use those materials to make gears, levers, switches, interchangeable parts of a variety of styles.
.Hopefully this becomes educational to people entering Chemistry Class later and beneficial to humanity.

==================== Fire hose patch notes ====================
==================== Fire hose patch notes ====================
==================== Fire hose patch notes ====================

Instead charging you a small 5$ to 15$ a month subscription, I opted more for a more gentle arcade style->25 cents a respawn if you want to do the MMO for now.

It's not difficult at all to get nearly unkillable in this patch if you get just a few upgrades. So it's not bank breaking and not a quarter eater.

We have a Bill of Rights to not exploit the player's wallet. Though without resources coming in, we can't make upgrades as fast. We're not a AAA.

When AAA get resources, they end up shuting down opponents and making games worse. When indies get resources, we raise the bar and make awesome
creative things the big guys would never risk making. So your virtual goods purchases in this game go into making the gaming sphere better...

If you know me personally, I don't consider many things more important than video games with 150,000 hours gaming, coding, design.

I'm a soul gamer, and when you support me, you're helping the gaming universe not just the Starfighter General universe.

I've also helped push major scientific research but never compensated so helping me get established will help humanity also outside gaming!

Also if you KO, you can still play Clash mode for free! There's ways to earn triderium and faster daily respawns if you excel in Clash Mode.

Free daily play, free clash once you KO in daily play. We're doing things new, and one of the new things we're doing is not exploiting the player's wallet.

==================== Fire hose patch notes ====================
==================== Fire hose patch notes ====================
==================== Fire hose patch notes ====================

->Want you to be able to rob stations

->Website back up, bluehost borked it.

->Bounty System:Allows Player vs Player... Except people who don't want to be doing PVP will get insurance refund money of damages if/when the offending player pays up or gets captured as Bounty.

->70,000ish star stystems per core, 24 cores to dive.

->Warp drive lets you see actual stars warp by you that exist, aim for the star you want to explore, hit warp.

->Space Opera of partially Ai driven, partially Next Gen personality Memento system to have realistic aliens who grudge match you or befriend you.

->Fleet building and Fleet Destroying, soft perma death hardcore means its a thrill of the rise and thrill of fall, rinse and repeat! Aim for higher personal bests of fleet sizes

-> Star System capture, control, taxing, law imposing. People can challenge to take over your star in an 2 hour window where your friends are on... If they're not on, AI will use their craft. So build big alleginances for star control power.

->Magic enabled

->Custom Attribute Allocation to stats you prefer from leveling up.

->96 most bilious bosses

->More Galactic News Network tickers

->Favorite foods, drink, sanity preservation

->Elaborate 16 supernatural elemental magic systems

->Secret, get ingame podcasts when available by hitting alt+p, ALT+P AGAIN CYCLES THROUGH THEM, CTRL+P CLOSES EM,

-Memento system

-Scientific items system elaborations evident

-power recover of various systems rates, shots costing powers

-Allegiance & Dark Allegiance system where by helping others or the illusion of helping them raises your power, fame, and status in the Galaxy.

-Live Omnipotent roleplay

--MMO Mode leaderboards such as EXP

--More enemies with fun catch phrases?

--what ASPECTS DO YOU WANT WORKED ON MORE? Send ideas and buy triderium. Forums or email is cool.

--more advanced inventory->Scroll deeper, limited by volume, weight slows your thrust + adds collision damage & kickback, sort with different filters, better descriprtion, items catch on fire in inventory, emit toxic gases, melt, get destroyed by oncoming heat attacks or collisions

--Ability to dimensionally recover items picked up previous session... You have em saved on server, just can't see when you load until next patch.... Use upgrades when you got em!

-Conquer Stars and setting taxes and laws

-story history replay dialogue

-more achievements

-Asteroids properly breakinto more than oen

-Give android race an android sounding voice

--Three forms of Ground Combat:
GROUND COMBAT FORM I) One is a classical First Person Shooter (FPS) with vehicles.

GROUND COMBAT FORM II) One is tactical Real Time Turn Based Game(RTTG) from top down, almost isometric. RTTG will give you the feel of a classic orthogonic chess like game with cover, vision and such, yet everyone plays at the same time. RTTG mode happens when you enter populated towns, not because the server can't handle infinite players in a small zone, but because it feels more intense when any action and fight can start from the shadows. Movement is freer and faster when no one has fights going on nearby.

GROUND COMBAT FORM III)One is a 3d Fighter Game you'd see in Arcades from the 90s, but with the ability to change targets.

Starfighter General is the Everything Game. And it's for real. Let me know what you want me to dev next. Virtual Goods buys lets me sub contract parts out to make the game faster. Talk about what you want, and if you got the money, be a driver, push this game's development faster. I'm a 64x coder, people who meet me don't believe people like me exist, so I get things done... I just have literally 0$ funding at the moment. You'll see things in Starfighter General you thought were impossible and things never done before... Be a believer, or heck, just play and enjoy.

KNOWN BUGS:
1) Iron ore is called a book
2) Collision detection on giant space ships is clunky and can be very annoying if you get close
3) Vision obscuring of mesh fog in junk yard
4) Laser angle not straight
5) TEXT RENDDER DEPTH of chatting aliens, or targetting computer needs fixed so always visible.

Enable Prime Skils(21):

Attribute is the attribute that influences the skill, Min Int is the minimum intelligence to acquire skill, skill point costs is the number of skill points required (each intelligence you get 1 point), and the name, well, that's the Name:

Sorry Patch notes are jumbled, no time to sort them yet! So busy coding! Next one might be good, gotta update store page and have a solid real patch announcement.,
