Starship Simulator has been Funded on Kickstarter!

There’s this cool single mission MCC mod on Steam Workshop called Facility that swaps out a bunch of the CE assets for ones from Sony’s “Halo Killer” Resistance. It’s a lot of fun. It does a good job of having an eerie atmosphere (unfortunately a lot of the areas look the same and there’s too much fog. It could use a few light sources, a fog reduction, and coloring certain areas so you’re less likely to get lost). Although, you NEED to play the game on easy because it throws WAY TOO MANY enemies at you and I died several times after getting swarmed (so glad I took KYOT’s advice after watching his coverage of the mod. It also lags at a few parts because of the large influx of allied and enemy NPCs). You start out fighting Flood in this facility then you go outside into the snow and start fighting a mix of Slugmen and Drinols (the Slugmen are probably one of my new favorite enemy because they’re basically proto-Skirmishers. Both fill the role of these agile aggressive units that are right below Elites and can double as a sniper/marksman). You’ll need to carry the shotgun with you because in my experience you only get one of them and if you go too far you won’t be able to get it back because the level blocks off old areas after a certain point. Thankfully, it gives you a bunch of ammo at areas. It also could’ve made power weapons like the sniper, flame throwers, and mini guns more common because they’re fun to use (hiding them in out of the way locations would’ve been a good way to reward exploration). The modder also should’ve made the blue Slugman variant armed with the Bullseye 2 more common so you can get more ammo for that gun, increase the amount of Drinols seen (this guy Hunterunt made a mod that ports Drinols into H2, and he made it so they’re immune to being splattered, their armor resists small arms fire, and their “eye” is the weak spot. That’s what all mods going forwards should do with them. They should also make it so the creature ONLY flinches whenever you shoot the weak spot as a visual indication you’re doing extra damage). The mod could also use some reskinned Sentinels because in Resistance 2/3 the Chimera have drones and it would add some much needed enemy variety into the mix. Even with these rough edges it’s still really fun and you should DEFINITELY check it out. I hope the modder makes an updated version that addresses these issues, and makes a part 2 electric boogaloo.

Certainly sounds interesting, if I find some I will have to check it out.

You definitely should if you get the chance. Do you think you might also finish playing Halo 2 Uncut at some point? I’m guessing the reason you haven’t finished it after it got updated is due to a lack of time and you’ve been more interested in doing other things with your free time. It’s really interesting seeing what ideas Bungie had that got scrapped. When I played through the mod I had a blast during certain sections, but there’s some areas I’m VERY happy got changed (the Wraith is far more useful in retail, and same goes for the Ghosts). It’s too bad that the Shadow (favorite vehicle for whatever vehicle) was only in one mission. If you get the time you should watch C3Sabertooth’s videos animating Halo 2’s storyboards. Those are really interesting. What other things do you think you’ll do videos on? I’m guessing it’s more Arma mod updates once a sizable chunk of new content is available, and simulator games. Hopefully, you’re having fun with those.

@@shreksnow1918 It's something I would like to get around to doing at some point. Well, I for sure have plans for ongoing videos with Starship Simulator. I plan to continue with news and development coverage for this, and would like to maybe do a star trek style series of videos for it, with a set crew doing semi-roleplay stuff. Stormworks came out with some new content, so I kind of want to get back into that a bit again. And then Infection Free Zone just released, so I would be interested in playing that if I get some free cash.
