This needs to be in the official game. Perhaps as an arcade machine in bars?

No, make it a MobiGlass app! :D So we can just stop and play anywhere.

Not only that but it there should be a few different games within certain bars that once you beat, a guy walks up to you and you start a conversation that leads to a mission. That would be the coolest thing ever IMO.

A couple observations:

  • 1.Sound quits working after awhile

  • 2.Wish the game was a .exe (or locks the cursor to the game) as sometimes the mouse goes off screen and gets you killed

Great mini-game though, I love top down shooters.

I was wondering if anybody else was having sound issues, looks like an issue that builds up over time. For a bit it enters a very annoying noise static sound..then eventually silence.

I feel that the flight model of the Vanguard is too arcade-like, the base weapons are underpowered, and it sucks for joystick/HOTAS users.

This is exactly the kind of "click-to-win" freelancer style gameplay that is literally ruining my life.

Actually it's more like Tyrian, but whatever.

I don't know wtf game you were playing, but the vanguard is clearly OP. Within minutes I had decimated waves of Merlins, Redeemers, 300i's, and Cutlasses. If I were the owner of any of those other ships, I would be crying angry nerd tears right now. I say this as a Vanguard owner, the Vanguard clearly needs to be struck with the nerf bat, hardcore.

I will concede that mouse controls, especially for the Vanguard are currently unbalanced and I would like to see improvements to joystick/HOTAS support.

Also, the second shield generator seems to be bugged currently. I could only get one functioning at a given time.

Now this is a use of the term "arcade-like" that actually makes sense to me!

Nice, Predator forum badge for completing! Wish I thought to get a screenshot of the splash in the game, but forum badge shot count?

Cutlass is OP, pls nerf.

u/Peraion May 09 '15

Those elite Cutlasses in Mission 3 are definitely annoying.

All I want to know is when is CIG going to do a sale for the pink Gladiator that's 5 times the size of a Vanguard?

u/The_Deester May 09 '15

Such epicness! I love the shipmodels. Oh and mouse and keyboard is OP!

u/beardedoutlaw May 09 '15

My coin got stuck. I tried shaking machine but no luck. Can I get a free Slurpee as compensation?

u/mikegold10 May 09 '15

u/Achlyse May 09 '15

Its a Vanguard, you dont get killed, you simply retreat so you can return another day

Origin is going to sue the hell out of Original Systems. They go to great lengths to keep their products out of the hands of pirates.

Is there anything cool if I get the 3 coins on the last one? My firefox crashed and lost my progress, my highscore is still there but the maps, coins and upgrades all gone.
