I STILL have way too many games!

Well, 6 years after my last post and I still have too many game that I have yet to finish. This blog is to help me keep track of my progress on them! (Spoilers. Duh.)

Port/starboard canons in 3d space...

Well after finding out that the empire capital we want to go to also sells super air-whale killing harpoons, the bionic Ahab was all for joining the party again. First though, we had to do an escort mission for a merchant, which was really a tutorial for the odd ship to ship fighting mechanic.

Basically it's turn based and you chose your actions on a grid, deciding who does what actions in what order. The opponent's actions are displayed across the grid's top, so you can see when they will be in a offensive or defensive mode and plan accordingly. Then the fights play out as both air ships fly side by side to each other blasting away before circling around to to it again. I would think that since the ships only have guns on the sides, it would be an obvious advantage to just fly above a ship and just drop bombs stuff on them.

So after blowing up the ship, getting the merchant passport for the capital, and getting the 1000$ reward for blowing up a pirate ship, it's off to save everyone! Unless a shinny side quest shows up and distracts the heroes...
