Default Re: Off topic: How are games failing you?

You will never be done with your MP games, people keep starting new ones, the jerks.

I started out with the Liir, I was shocked at how flimsy their ships were. Though, I didn't understand the Command limits, and how they affected combat (that game has such an awful manual, it's what, 15 pages? ), so their weaker ships had a lot of trouble once they were badly outnumbered.

SoTS Manual, First Draft: "So there's umm, some people, and they fight. There are some game concepts, and you'll pretty much figure them out as you go. Oh yeah, the whole game takes place in space!"

Dev2: Hey Jerry, I think maybe you should put a little more effort into the manual.
Dev1: Hmmmm, well I guess I could fluff it up a bit, do we have any illustrations to throw in?
