Hello Walt, I saw that you said that you aren't making a Mac version soon, or it's not high on your radar, but I just wanted you to know a lot of us love this game via the content were seeing and can't wait for you to get the Mac version up.
ion beams need to be nerfed, but not damage nerfed.i think they should be very weak against shields.
make Large Lasers. they do more damage then small lasers,and they are strong against components
can you make smaller versions of the components like for example a reactor that is half the size of regular?that way it is easier to make fighter type ships.
This might be useful: VirusTotal Its a Google tool that can run your binary across multiple anti-virus scans. We use it at my work to make sure our binaries arent being incorrectly flagged. Looks like Cosmoteer detection ratio is pretty good 0/64.
I absolutely love this game... I'll be sad when it comes to full release for money because I am broke as hell... but I'll be happy because it'd be nice to see one of my favorite games come to fruition. A well-polished spaceship simulation game, easily one of the best in its genre and it isn't even finished. Please, keep up the fantastic work.
When I downloaded the game my security system detected a program called Trojan.Win32.Reconyc.iclk located inside the .exe and it keeps deleting it the .exe file.
Oh and maybe a feature where you could have starbase's and carriers! ( i wouldn't mind dropping some money for this game as it is really, and truly incredible
Absolutely loving it, have been playing it pretty obsessively since finding it and looking forward to seeing where this goes. Feels like there's already a lot of depth to ship design and optimization/customization despite it being in dev. Really looking forward to seeing how mod support works.
The fact that you can actually make a ship that functions as multiple ships if it breaks apart was nice to discover, but kinda leaves a feeling that there should be some sort of linkage structure or system for purposefully seperating sections of a ship and hooking them back up as desired.
EDIT: Saw you already planned on it in the forums, the hinges sound like an awesome idea as well! Looking forward to them!
I've downloaded the game, but when I attempt to run it nothing happens, a small load wheel replaces my mouse as if its trying but then it disappears. Any help?
Might help running it as admin perhaps if you haven't tried that. Windows tried to stop me from running the install due to it not coming from a place Windows knows of.
I need to get some legal things taken care of and figure out a plan for getting people who pay a copy of the game once it launches. Thanks for being interested. :)
Found this thing through YT, decided to go take a look at it myself. 5 minutes later I noticed that 4 hours had passed by me! Good work there man, highly addictive in my opinion :)
I came here after watching a few youtube videos. Clicked download, then I was searching the usual itch.io pay what you want field to type in <incomprehensibly large number>. Still looking!
ummm.......explain this-cosmoteer 0.12.5 setup.exe is not commonly downloaded and harm your computer. whaaa? I want everyone reading this who has downloaded this to confirm its safe and that I'm crazy for believing windows.
Hello. I love this game so much!! All tho i would love it even more if you could build starbases and carriers for smaller ships (like docks so you could dock the ships). Otherwise: awesome!
A feature I would like to suggest is the sizing of parts; you can change the different sizes of a structure to fit your ship with the stats of that part changing accordingly.
Absolutely loving the game, its exactly what i was looking for, i play a FTL and i love it but i've always wanted to tear through a ship and this game allows it. 9/10 just need more things to play with!
Yes but i still think it makes sense to shorten the time. Also have you got any plans to add more stuff as im loving the game and would love more content.
Yes, more features, modules, and things to do are in the works. And matching speeds is a common request, it's definitely on my list to add that. Thanks!
Its prObably possible to achieve orgasm by playing this game if you are extremely over excited about specific space games like this and keep wondering why you didn't find this years ago, just like me.
well it was kinda planned to offend somebuddy to then make them dumfounded when i actually meant it.
i love this game and your game deserves to the most popular one on itch.io in my opinion. but now, lets get to the point.
the thing the ships spin so much that when i go to look inside my ship and look at my crew (love that touch by the way), if the ship isnt perfectly straight or parallel to the screen, it kinda gets nausiating after a while if you could kinda adjust the screen mid game kinda like google maps on mobile i think that would help reslove the issue.
Benjamin.
P.S how long have you've been working on this game?
but after i warp with two ships, the game crashed.

Umm it wont install, it just does the downloading thing but it never loads then it does the same for the "Install" part. After it just says Install again plz help guys.
Thanks for trying to help, this is an amazing game. I've watched videos about this game but its still doing the same. It says this on my download page, "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host." Thanks again.
An excellent spaceship sim that will run smoothly even on low end laptops. You can design ships of any size, shape, complexity, with two levels of decals and color palettes to apply to your ship. It's a stable piece of coding.
This game will steal whatever remaining free time from you. It's that addictive ]:>

Hello Walt, I saw that you said that you aren't making a Mac version soon, or it's not high on your radar, but I just wanted you to know a lot of us love this game via the content were seeing and can't wait for you to get the Mac version up.
will we be able to upload ships to the workshop?
ion beams need to be nerfed, but not damage nerfed.i think they should be very weak against shields.
make Large Lasers. they do more damage then small lasers,and they are strong against components
can you make smaller versions of the components like for example a reactor that is half the size of regular?that way it is easier to make fighter type ships.
more types of materials and decals.
good work on this game! I love it.
hi can you plz increace the amount of ram usage or atleast a option in the setings for more ram usage plz
What would that do?
i have created a monster of a ship that drops my fps to 4
[ i created it whith the mods that was with the instalation]
make it run better
where cam i find the .NET Framework so i can install it?
:l
The installation program should automatically install .NET for you, but if you're having trouble with that, then you can install it manually with this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53344
btw windows wont let me install
What's the error?
i need help installing... i have this anti virus thing called norten bulit in to my box and it wont let me install help:(:
This is a common problem with anti-virus programs that incorrectly block Cosmoteer. Try temporarily turning off your anti-virus.

wad play it but its not instaling
ADD Fighters
When I downloaded the game my security system detected a program called Trojan.Win32.Reconyc.iclk located inside the .exe and it keeps deleting it the .exe file.
Almost certainly a false-alarm.
Is there ever going to be a Mac port because this looks like an amazing game but I haven't got to play it yet.
use wine
I plan on making a Mac version eventually, but it's not a high priority right now.
Oh and maybe a feature where you could have starbase's and carriers! ( i wouldn't mind dropping some money for this game as it is really, and truly incredible
Do you think you could make a mac port?, i've really been wanting to play but can't
you can use wine

Why don't you accept any money?
I need to get some legal things taken care of and figure out a plan for getting people who pay a copy of the game once it launches. Thanks for being interested. :)
Please do let us know if and when that changes. I wanna contribute, even if it's just a little.
Damn it, does that mean i have to stop throwing money at the screen? Nah, but seriously dude. Im definately buying it when you start charging for it.
Found this thing through YT, decided to go take a look at it myself. 5 minutes later I noticed that 4 hours had passed by me! Good work there man, highly addictive in my opinion :)
Thank you! :)
I'am thoroughly disappointed!
I came here after watching a few youtube videos. Clicked download, then I was searching the usual itch.io pay what you want field to type in <incomprehensibly large number>. Still looking!
Ps: did read faq, can't wait for steam release.
Well depending on how many zeroes are in that <incomprehensibly large number> I may turn on pay-what-you-want just for you. ;)
Love this game i would give it a 10/10 if i was a reviewer!
Thanks so much!
Gr8 game!!!
Ion Beams FTW!!!!
One thing I would like to see is the firing arc of the cannons increased so that they can be mounted sideways on a ship...
As it is you have to have a long Flat Line of them and its pretty ugly.
Thanks for the suggestion!
oh nvm, I saw it srry devs for accusing you
No worries, you're wise to be vigilant! :)
ummm.......explain this-cosmoteer 0.12.5 setup.exe is not commonly downloaded and harm your computer. whaaa? I want everyone reading this who has downloaded this to confirm its safe and that I'm crazy for believing windows.
Its safe. Downloaded it myself. For some reason Windows really doesnt like this.
Hello. I love this game so much!! All tho i would love it even more if you could build starbases and carriers for smaller ships (like docks so you could dock the ships). Otherwise: awesome!
Thanks for your kind words! Both of those features are planned, but will take a while to implement.
Thats amazing! Looking forwards to that update.
If they are added this could easily become mainstream
I tried again my first attempt was not the best this was better! I love this game so much!
A feature I would like to suggest is the sizing of parts; you can change the different sizes of a structure to fit your ship with the stats of that part changing accordingly.
Also, can you add the rotation of the camera?
Camera rotation actually already exists! Press the [ and ] keys.
I love this game I could not ask for a better experience! Keep up the great work.
Absolutely loving the game, its exactly what i was looking for, i play a FTL and i love it but i've always wanted to tear through a ship and this game allows it. 9/10 just need more things to play with!
Also can you make the FTL drive power up much faster if the zone/planet your in is empty? feels unnecessary waiting.
Did you know you can increase the game speed?
Yes but i still think it makes sense to shorten the time. Also have you got any plans to add more stuff as im loving the game and would love more content.
Also ide love a way to match speeds so if i have multiple ships they travel as the speed of the slowest ship.
Yes, more features, modules, and things to do are in the works. And matching speeds is a common request, it's definitely on my list to add that. Thanks!
Its prObably possible to achieve orgasm by playing this game if you are extremely over excited about specific space games like this and keep wondering why you didn't find this years ago, just like me.
because it only came out last week!! ya doofus.
It's been available for a while now, just not on itch.
this game makes me sick to my stomach.
How come?
well it was kinda planned to offend somebuddy to then make them dumfounded when i actually meant it.
i love this game and your game deserves to the most popular one on itch.io in my opinion. but now, lets get to the point.
the thing the ships spin so much that when i go to look inside my ship and look at my crew (love that touch by the way), if the ship isnt perfectly straight or parallel to the screen, it kinda gets nausiating after a while if you could kinda adjust the screen mid game kinda like google maps on mobile i think that would help reslove the issue.
Benjamin.
P.S how long have you've been working on this game?
If it helps, you can press alt-F and the view will lock on your ship and rotate to match the ship's rotation.
It's been a side project for years, but full-time for about 1.5 years.
it always amazes me how long game development takes. and Cheers! for a good 1,5 years more!
Update?
Edit: Nevermind, joined the Discord and found it! Yay!
i love this game.
but after i warp with two ships, the game crashed.

Thanks for reporting this bug! I'm am looking into it and will hopefully have a fix soon.
This should be fixed 0.12.3.
Umm it wont install, it just does the downloading thing but it never loads then it does the same for the "Install" part. After it just says Install again plz help guys.
It turns out there was a problem downloading Cosmoteer using the Itch app. I believe I have fixed the problem.
Thanks for trying to help, this is an amazing game. I've watched videos about this game but its still doing the same. It says this on my download page, "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host." Thanks again.
Wait, YES!I THINK IT WORKS!!
