0.7.288 Changelog:
- Artpack Released! Patreon backers can collect it on my Patreon page.
- New type of ship weaponry: Turrets. Turrets deal roughly twice as much damage as their standard brothers but require a crew member to fire. Note not every crew member is capable of crewing a turret. Yammi and Celise, for example, aren’t much for shooting. Others might surprise you, like Mitzi… You can buy your own turrets from the Dockmaster on Tarkus.
- New Busts (Adjatha): “The Servant”, Lurelings & Marions, Una, and Zheng Shi’s Mining Robots.
- New Busts (Shou): Forgehound, Vark, Ushamee in Canadia, and the War Alpha from the battle for Korg’ii Hold.
- New scene: blowing dick-having Shekka, by William.
- Various fixes and tweaks, courtesy of Jacques00.
Did you all think I was done riding the ship parade? You were dead wrong. Turrets are a big part of making crew worthwhile, and come Uveto/Zheng, I’ll be adding an upgrade that takes up one slot but provides crew space for two (in addition to more ships with better stats).
If I get some fun modules in by tonight, I might add another small patch onto this one.
The Marion and Usha busts are so good omg.
But what about my boi, the lureling?
Guys, does it matter? they’re both probably good and that’s what counts!
woosh!
What is Marion?
also known as the servant an extrameet character on tavros (i think)
or am an idiot and it’s a lureling character somewhere either or.
okay apparently im super stupid and is only related to the lureling. god i should really look into stuff more before speaking out of my butt.
All I gotta say is that all this shipping madness has been fun as hell, and I am eternally greatful for the clowncar cheat, because dammit, my Steele needs her harem intact.
Imagine in about a year or more we might have a SSV Normandy ship 25+ All bangable here’s hoping for Feruze and Khorgan in that here’s hoping
Imagine having a childhood friend character paying you a visit
Friend: Hey Steele errr who are all these people?
Steele: My Harem
Friend: You Serious?
Steele: Mmm Hmm
Friend: *Spends Next hour trying to comprehend this fact*
Random note but i’m unable to meet Kimber again i spoke to her about 2 times on Tarvos but now i only see Kiro or Erra and sometimes Anno in her meeting slot i was just wondering if there’s another place where its easier to meet her cause well………….. i wanna bang the thick cowgirl
Once you are inside a bar, save the game and then load the game until it appears, so I do and different characters appear, just do not look for it in mheng ga.
Tried That on Tarvos Tarkus and Uveto and shes still not turning up is it possible to move her to a different interaction space? or am i doing something wrong
Honestly at the time of doing their missions I also found problems to make it appear even with that method, I think it only has a very low range of appearance unlike the others or we are only have very little luck, keep trying and if it does not appear you would not know how to help, but no, it is assumed that there is no more requirement than to meet her and start wandering around the bars
Are you on Kiro’s quest? As in, did you give her four items and she sent you to go kill something? If so, she won’t appear again until you complete it.
If not, just keep checking bars, she’ll show up eventually. Except on Mhen’ga, she’s not going there again.
Kimber, not Kiro, damn it. 😐 Where’s my head at when I typo my own character’s name…
Yeah did the quest and got the one off scene (Sadness) but i’ve never seen her since and its been about a month in game time to be fair i mainly hang around Tarvos or Uveto but she’s never there
I was thinking since its really hard to find her if it’d be possible to move her to a static location like the nursery or some lab maybe she can team up with Azra (Realises that Azra has a bigger dick than me) Ah shit scratch that last one
Kimber doesn’t judge size. 😛 And you might have better luck looking for her at the bars with smaller populations, like on Uveto and Canadia. She’s got the same chance to show up everywhere, and if there’s less NPCs there, in theory she’ll show up more often.
It might be just bad luck, though. You’re only the second person I’ve seen say they had trouble finding her.
This crew-managing ship customizing stuff is that kinda nerd shit that I love. Glad to see things finally happening in that regard. Reminds me of the good old Mass Effect days with a sprinkling of Skies of Arcadia.
Ah, seeing that name makes me wanna buy a GameCube and a copy of Skies from ebay.
Hearing that name always reminds me of one of the most rage inducing moments of my life, which was followed immediately by despair: my brother saved over my game slot with his by accident, when we were both like 1/2 way through the game!
Atomic wedgie followed by a swirly rage inducing? Lol. Did you ever manage to beat the game? I did, but never managed to attain ‘Vyse the Legend’ status because there was one discovery I could never find: the Balloon Flower. I found it on my very first attempt to complete the game, but for some damned reason could never locate again.
Bitchin’.
Sorry if you guys answered this before but will their ever be ships as large as say cruisers or freighters?
Endgame.
Fantastic Movie
would agree
Temptation to make a doge meme joke resisted….barely :p
Can anyone tell me if the Cherry lift up option has been fixed yet or is it still broken? (Public player) also I’m talking about the in window version not the download SWF version

Fixed a few patches ago on backers. Will be available in next weeks public build.
Can you shed any light on why you’re giving us the ability to store multiple ships? Just for keepsakes, or will swapping ships be something we’re doing frequently to suit different destinations/jobs?
When Gedan creates the actual Ship system, each individual ship will be as unique as any one your equipment items. Ergo, there could be ships, that, without the cheat code can house your harem of waifus and husbandos at the price of speed and weapon modules. Alternatively, you can own a ship like Kara’s Ghost that’s wicked fast and eerily silent for infiltration and evasion but also pretty small and has little to no weapons.
Most likely some special ships will have abilities only they can use.
Because people like to collect things.
Also people may fit a “daily driver” ship that has some adventuring conveniences and a “murder ships” build for doing things like cracking Zheng Shi wide-open without learning a password.
Is there a way to assign people to turrets?
No. Any NPC that can fire a turret fires as well as any other in this system. It just plucks a capable NPC to crew the turret each round.
Individually assigning crew was one of the staples of the more complicated system we were originally pursuing, but it won’t be making an appearance in this version.
Sorry if this was alreayd answered but how does one use the image packs
The artpack is just a modified version of the regular game so just use whatever browser/swf player to run the artpack swf file
Havent seen ushamee stuff in a while. Shes done in terms of writing correct?
Correct.
“Turrets are a big part of making crew worthwhile”
Huh, and here i though the thing that made them worth while was the interactions you got with them.
Wow, Those turrets really pack a punch. Good call, it actually makes it worthwhile to not kick everyone out and run with minimal crew.
Tried the reloading trick about 15 times on Canadia station to find Kimber but it didn’t work i just get Kiro Erra or Anno i’ve noticed that Erra’s usually always there so maybe she overwrites Kimber because there’s limited spaces at these bars i dunno
My best advice would be to spam exit-enter the bar on Tavros (using A and D keys if you’re on PC). As far as I can tell, the slot Kimber, Erra, and Kiro occupy changed frequently enough that you will, eventually, see Kimber pop up.
Far as I know, NPCs stick around a bar for 3-4 hours each time. I’ve gotten people to show up by going to a bar and resting for 4 hours if they’re not there, then repeating until they were. Hope it works for you.
I am having some issues with Mirrin’s pregger content. I can’t seem to get my herm character knocked up, I restarted my game twice and did not use save editor on her fertility and then used a shit ton of Fertite+, easy fit, and anusoft instead of the editor to improve her capacity and fertility but nothing. Is it the STD Immunity messing me up?
Is that content only for patreons? I do not see any pregger content of it even on the wiki
It always fails the first time and works the second
How do you get the second chance? Also thanks for the heads up, been trying to avoid doing anything to my herm’s fertility using the editor since it broke her last time.
when you say i dont get pregnant do you wait or do you go back to texas after her email to you because the second attempt is after you meet up with her
No I try to find Mirrin after to try and see what is up and see when I do the plug each other option if she got preggers.
OH, okay so it really isn’t meant to be a 1 time deal? Does the impregnating each other cause any issues?
So…when do we get to steal the star viper (or whatever the ship on zeng shi is that we fight in) ? I honestly saw that and when I first did it my reaction was “OOh, we get a new ship. I’m so stealing this and turning it in to a flying harem castle!”
“The Sidewinder”
That’s supposed to happen when they finish Zheng Shi somewhere down the line. Don’t quote me on it, but I think one of the big holdups for finishing the place officially was that they DIDN’T have the ship system in, so I’d assume once this system is fleshed out enough that they’re happy with it, they’d get back to work on adding in the last bits to cap off the base.
Do crewmembers have stat blocks? Unless the heat of battle unlocks secret pre-bimbo engineering knowledge in her i can’t imagine Mitzi manning a turret as well as Shekka, Ramis or even Reaha.
Mitzi might plausibly have received at least the relevant basic training, and bimbofication isn’t mindwipe. Shekka OTOH has to my knowledge never been off planet (if Tarkus now can still be called that) before nevermind now sat in an operating turret so not quite seeing why she’d be any good at it…
Do not discard that Novahome has functional turrets or have fixed them and use them from time to time.
Deeply unlikely (it was a damn colony vessel, made what’s teknik’ly known as “a hard landing” and the bulk of its systems have been offline for ages), and even if it DID why would Shekka have had any occasion to shoot them? Never mind now that even if she HAD space combat between maneuvering vessels is a completely different kettle of fish from firing at ground targets from an immobile platform anyway…
And the heck would they have shot at anyway? There’s literally no threat in the whole region the inhabitants couldn’t fend off by the simple but effective measure of A) closing the doors B) firing small arms from whatever openings they now presumably have made in the outer shell for windows etc. If the hulk now did possess meaningful weapons (anti-debris lasers for ex, but those are going to be entirely automated) expect them to have been cannibalized and repurposed for other duties such as mining or industrial cutting tools.
Are you telling me that if you lived in an essentially lawless “city” that was a giant space ship, which had still functioning giant laser cannons on it (or ones that you could fix up over time to get working), you WOULDN’T find a big pile of junk to blast to bits at least once or twice?
I’d imagine most people with a background in combat or technology would be able to figure out how to use a turret reasonably well: I’m sure the ship has manuals for them, etc, after all.
Are you telling me the Gabilani, who still maintain a presence on the surface despite mostly having moved into orbital habitats and have a facility right next door, wouldn’t make a point of denying those things to the surfacers one way or another? If you recall the pre-shattering history of the planet…
Yeah you sit in front of a CIWS control station and try to get anything legitimately combat-useful done with it with just a manual. And then allow for the minor detail that the combatants are going to be maneuvering in three dimensions at some considerable velocity…
If flesh-and-blood gunners are going to be used (which is space-opera nonsense because a dedicated fire-control computer will do it far better and take up altogether much less space, but anyway) then the minimum requirement for them to be much any good is some fairly intensive training for the task. We’re talking the rough equivalent of AA gun crew here, that job is *complicated*.
I remember that before any computer was more difficult to manage, but little by little it became easier, there are video games in TiTS that totally recreate a battlefield with pain included, I really think that Sheeka that apparently surprised even a tech specialist when she fixes a robot with junk, she can easily hack a turret or learn to shoot one in a short time.
The story of Novahome is confusing as there is no record of it, only known to be centuries ago, seeing that it has weapons such as the Nova rifle that competes against current weapons, and security bots that have nothing to envy the Reaper armament bots, it was not a normal colony ship.
Let me tell you, AA gunnery before decently mature radar was *something else* – gun crews had like three-four guys whose main job was to try to estimate actual distance to the target and feed it into the fire controls. Not exactly easy when you had no landmark to eyeball it by which issue also bedeviled naval gunnery.
Still not exactly vidya gaemz even with modern radars and computers, plus manufacturers have no reason whatsoever to even try to make it like that anyway – the default assumption is that the end-users will be trained specialists and not some random yahoos (and they mostly handle target selection and fire authorization nowadays anyway, computers are much more efficient at the brute number-crunching involved). It’s not that the training involved was particularly *difficult* mind you – raw conscripts absorb it in like weeks tops – but it’s not exactly readily accessible and without it you’re not getting diddly squat done. Same principle as with automatic small arms; trained troops are taught when and how to use it effectively (and raw recruits can be taught the main points in short enough time) while untrained amateurs just waste ammunition spraying lead thereabouts.
This all basically falls under the rubric of “artillery” which, alongside the Navy, has ever been the most technically and cerebrally intensive military branch due to the very nature of the job.
Also expect any VR simulation *actually* realistic enough to serve as an useful training tool to be heavily restricted, since authorities would rather any random mooks didn’t start setting up private militias actually worth a shit, *and* behind decently hefty fees, since the developers thereof mostly cater to “professional” markets with decent funding and not the general public who mostly wouldn’t be interested anyway. I’ve read descriptions of how modern simulated military exercises are run; it can be safely stated the software involved would get NO TRACTION WHATSOEVER as entertainement products.
No doubt there exist a busy market for training properly accredited personnel in such skills of course, it’s a dangerous universe after all… if you can meet the price tag.
Ok, you try to tell me that any computer you could better play an artillery role than anybody, very well, I want to understand that the reason why you put a person in charge of the artillery is because it is better to redirect the capacity of the VI to other systems of the ship, and the current artillery has enough software so that a person can have a similar performance (something like in Ace Combat keeping the distances), it seems that this problem is found using an AI with enough power as we can see in Talon Rogue, if you need someone in the artillery after this I think it would be questionable, but since the Casstech does not have one and it is assumed that the reason is that it is very weak to support the power of Hand So, because you have that to put crew not to neglect other subsystems, we will have to see what the TiTS developers say later, I just try to give a logical explanation to the matter but I understand your point.
Counterpoint: TiTS is set in the year 5,000something. Comparing modern military tech or training with what might exist further from now than we are from the phalanx ruling the battlefield is probably a waste of mental energy.
Counterpoint: if the fire control is simple enough that any random mook can be effective with the weapon emplacement then what do you even need a crewman for in the whole loop? Just link it to a multifunction display in the vessel’s main control board where whoever’s in charge can simply designate targets – in most realistic scenarios amounting roughly to “all guns on Bogey A save where point defense is needed” – and authorize fire (legislators will presumably want an accountable legal person in the loop for that if nothing else) and the dedicated gunnery computers handle the rest.
If conversely for some perplexing reason (cough space-opera conventions cough) automated systems are somehow not up to the job of, basically, “keep laser on target” (which can be mite tricky when both parties are maneuvering at Ludicrous Speed) then it is distinctly difficult to see how an “organic” gunner would do any better without meaningful amounts of specialised training for the task…
Is Ushamee written but still got unreleased expacs? I sure as hell hope so. And who says that Mitzi can’t man a turret? Would be funny that she does lust damage when you have her equipped
Ushamee is completed Barring Wsan potentially writing an extra scene or two for her.
Hey, Usha’s mine, not Wsan’s 😛
But yeah, she’s complete.
I know, but Wsan has a notable Taur fetish, so I postulate that he’s the only one who would write anything more for her.
Damn, I wish I’d known about ushamee dual ending, because she died on me without me knowing, rip ushamee ???
F in the comments. I didn’t know that it was possible for her to die. I’d go back to save her. Because she’s worth it.
wait shes in the game already? damn i must have missed that, how do you get her to show up?
wait im dumb, just remembered where she is from
F
Very nice update, guys. All that ship space managing isn’t my cup of tea (good thing there’s a cheat code), it’s nice to be able to buy different ships. How large will the Sidewinder be when it’s available?
Plus, is there a chance to see the last part of Azra’s quest in one of the next builds? Can’t wait to finally conquer that one waifu which isn’t a dwarf next to my towering Steele. *grin*
alright time to pick another tf because i lost my saves again and im really getting sick and tired of losing them because of personal issues wooo! someone give me their favourites to pick from!
Frostfire
lol that indeed is a personal favourite of mine i will admit
Frostwyrm Ichor 😛
I’m waiting for this one^^ I need my frostwyrm amazon (10ft tall) 😀
There already is a frostwyrm tf
There is problem is its not implemented yet lol
Dang it, thins are getting better and better..
Can someone explain how a fucking spaceship that travel between planets has no space to hold 10 people !!!!!!
Because all the room inside is taken up by that technology which enables it to move between planets.
Sorry I just hate the idea of kicking all your companions away because all of a dudden my spaceship can’t contain them anymore .why can’t there be a ship who can contain everyone ,4-5 ships now and all of them can’t hold your crew ………and btw I hate chest codes .
I know some people excited about ships and I was one of them but that was for ship fights and the idea of crew mates arguing about who gets best chambers ..maybe it’s just me just had to say something.
That specific scenario doesn’t really fly. When I was in the navy we could stage 6 people, and their belongings, in a 60 square foot space(400 cubic ft.). Only officers got sizeable rooms, which they still shared.
If you want to fully flesh out space combat, the PnP game ‘Rogue Trader’ would be good inspiration.
After saying all that, I can however, still understand it happening for balance purposes.
Just because it is a Spaceship does not mean it is filled with infinite space.
Ever taken a look at what the moon shots were done in, never mind now the earlier orbital spacewalks? Spacefaring vessels are only roomy if you sacrifice internal volume ergo decent amount of payload capacity for that, and the Casstech is explicitly a very no-frills and spartan job.
Solution to the problem………… Tardis
*arrives in small police box* its bigger on the inside. *out come the giant ass turrets to defend the ship from the fools whom I pity for fucking with my spaceship*
But Clowncar basically makes any ship a Tardis
I like what I see will there be dragon taur tf’s coming down the line etc? and if so how strong would it be?
There’s really no such thing as “strength” for TFs. They don’t typically grant any combat effects.
Well that’s half true, some of them Increase or decrease core stats, for some annoying reason.
I see was that a bug? or something already coded in stable etc? if it is I probably did not notice most. I know the treatment is one of those that does alter core stats.
That’s basically irrelevant since every stat (save maybe Willpower? not sure) can be raised outside levelups anyway, though it can get tedious. The ones with direct combat relevance roughly amount to Vanae Milk and Myr Venom which are just alternative Tease modes. (One notes that flight-capable wings – and certain jetpack-type accessories for that matter – should plausibly give you the equivalent of Mercenary’s Lunge ability against airborne opponents…)
That limitation is why I haven’t tried a melee build outside of mercenary.
I ment the transformatives doing it in a way that shows how much they can really change out like one of the tf’s (which name eludes me at the moment ) really went all in on the herm stuff in adition to the dragonic bits as well. it is this type of “tf strength” is what I was asking about. my mistake for not clearifying that.
Every time there is a public upd I’m starting a new game. And every single time I feel dumbstruck:
“Please give your character’s height in inches.”
Well, okay. Since there are at least two number systems, I think, that it was bound to happen.
AND THAN:
“For reference, six feet tall is 72 inches.”
Six WHAT is 72 WHO?!?!
I don’t understand, and it doesn’t make any sence! I feel how my brain trying to solve this problem and in the end I feel dumb.
ps
If you don’t understand, than:
What kind of яблоки is better? Green or red?? Maybe Yellow???
Try to understand it without Google-help. And no, it’s not about traffic light :p
Both feet and inches are part of the Imperial System of measurement. Here’s some quick, rough conversions.
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds (lbs)
1 metre = 39 inches.
Just keep in mind that “six feet” means “about 180 cm tall” and that if you’re taller than 6ft in real life, you’re probably pretty tall.
6’1″ :p
For the future: Please give your character’s height in inches. For reference, 72 inches is about six feet tall or 182 centimeters.
WTF WHY DO I HAVE TO KICK 10 PEOPLE TO TAKE OFF. WHY NOT ADD IN INFINITE CAPACITY LIKE THERE WAS BEFORE ADDING YOUR SHIP MECHANICS AND MESSING UP ALL OUR SAVES.
LOVE YOU. FIX THIS THO.
They already did. cheat code clowncar. enter your codex and just hit the keys.
And as mean as this may come out, I reccomend actually reading everything fen posts (since you obviously haven’t) because he put that in the second patch with ships. Your freaking out is only going to get you ignored or possibly bullied js.
The above reply nailed it. “clowncar” gives you infinite ship crew space. Enjoy!
Yes!
I have long hoped for the day when Reaha and Ramis could man the guns.
Also, forgot to mention earlier but I love those taur pants Usha has
One, that Ushamee bust … where is the erection knock out gif. Two, Mitzi as a gunner? I hear this and think of her somehow having godly skill taking Bubble Buddies and launching them out the airlock onto enemy front windshields, yelling in a gleeful cheer “Money shot!!”.
Sylvie preg when? Poggers update as usual
