What is Smart-Pause Gameplay (SPG)
To combine the tactical depth of turn-based strategy games with the dynamic flow of real-time combat, we developed a pause system for Pirate Patrol called Smart Pause Gameplay (SPG).
SPG is inspired by the Real-Time with Pause (RTwP) systems found in many real-time games, but it goes a step further by significantly enhancing the player’s sense of control in a real-time environment. With SPG, the game intelligently pauses based on the player’s input and intent, allowing for smooth, intuitive tactical decision-making.
This system enables players to plan ahead and issue commands without breaking immersion—eliminating the need to constantly press a pause button or deal with disruptive interruptions caused by scripted or repetitive events. The result is a more fluid and responsive tactical experience that stays fast-paced while remaining deeply strategic.

Das Spiel wäre vielleicht interresant, wenn nicht diese vielen vielen Bugs wären. Im EA hätte ich ja jetzt noch das ein oder andere Verziehen. Aber jetzt wurde diese Bug Haufen von einen Spiel Releast. Kauf auf eigene Gefahr. Hoffentlich bleibt der Entwickler daran und fix diese. Die meisten Bug die ich bisher hatte auf Basis von man setzt einen Benutzer Befehl wäre es Theroetisch möglich das diese der Entwickler in den Griff bekommt. Würde mich echt interresieren ob das spiel mehr kann als nur Bug verseucht zu sein.
edit: Gonna have to come back, I am trying but it's crashing too much and shouldn't. I enjoy it, looking forward to future updates and qol work. wow I was just taking a break from x4 foundations(amazing game btw) and this game caught my attention. Ended up playing for 14 hours straight, it's one of those, "one more turn" type of games for me. I would say, ok I am done, then you travel to a place to log off and boom, you're in a battle and the maps are kinda long, which I like. Eventually you gotta be like "I am done" lol I have been looking for something like this. I like to smoke, theorycraft and game; this one is perfect for it with it's pause function letting me chill and make my moves step by step. I turned off smart pause cuz in games with em, I like to control it but the smart pause function is nice, I tried it and went back and forth but I don't like being surprised by a pause because I hovered over something so I stick with good ol space bar and it's perfect. And I like games I can one-hand and not be so hard on my hands as I am older and some games I can't play due to pain in my fingers. First, I hope they continue working on it cuz it def needs some polish. I have crashed 3-4 times and there are many QOL things that I feel should be in, like having to reselect father everytime I want to move and not being able to hotkey. And your save doesnt bring you back to the exact location, so you have to start whatever you were doing again, often traveling back to where you were. I also think I lost my skill points after I reload cuz they were gone. I am going to give the error code to the devs so they can work on that along with some feedback. I really enjoy this game tho, the bones of it is really nice. Reminds me of Starsector and the sounds are amazing. Lots of crunch and booms, sounds are really nice and the music is catchy. There is also this background radio background chatter that goes really well with everything. I stayed in the 1st few planets until I was vaporzing the big ships and making millions. It was really hard in the beginning but the progression feels nice and I love sending my fighters out and watch them work. Now I send them on a volley and they destroy...damage numbers so long idk what it is and makes me smile inside. It's easy to see what upgrades when selling, equipping. The gear and ships seems to roll rng so you're always looking for upgrades when you get loot because it's not all just cookie-cutter stats. Like sometimes you will find a common with some god rolls. I love that part of it. Your pilots and crew rolls stats so later you're looking for pilots with good rolls, like I am grabbing 1800+ pilot and 500+ speed rated boys and they seem to do a lot better than the tier 1s you get in the beginning. My latest pilot was 2400 pilot and 800 speed but had a low crit chance of 3% which I look for 10+. So it gives you an idea of something being close to being great but having a stat that gimps it if you're trying to min-max. For me, I am always on a look out for upgrades and there is no shortage of em. Also the game uses a logistics system which has points available for the ship to function: fire, move, repair etc. Well, if you get low on logisitc points and not near a station, you can take some of your trash loot and convert to logistic points on the spot so you can stay in the fight for a long time, as long as there are enemies you can keep going. I like that and not being forced to head home to refuel just to go back out. Idk it lets me grind and sustain my fleet. I like it. Your captains on the bridge all brings skills you can use and adds to the strategy of it all. It's nice when going into a big battle and activating your skills in proper order to gain the most benefit. Then watching everything go brrrrrrt You gotta keep an eye out for your pilots, recall em, let them heal then send them out again. Build the Father as a tank and soak up the damage. Then when you're fighters are good, send them on another run. I like managing them. I just wish there was a hotkey to select all. I am sure they will add those things or aware. idk I am not a dev. I play with a razor mouse with buttons on side and always try to map the most important on that. Again, for my poor hands lol getting older Def worth it if you're into these type of games. I love big battle carrier type ships and this one fits that bill. I have 14 hours as of this review and I have only done 4 planets and have 99% of the map left, so excited to see what is out there I hope they continue to address some of the issues being brought up. I love this game tho, keep going, you got a good one here. Game has been out for a month, but if you give it a shot you will see it doesn't deserve all these negative reviews. So much slop nowadays, it's always nice to find something that stands out. Especially with the space genre, give the devs a bone to elevate the good ones but provide feedback so they can improve for sure. Is it perfect, hell no, stay away if you will get mad if it crashes because for me, it happened 4 times in those 14 hours and I tried border etc. Game has a good save system otherwise in other games, I quickly quit when things start crashing. I think this is the only game I have ever stuck with like this. Usually I am done especially if your game is a hot mess, I am out but idk this one was different. I hope they can fix that. I will see how it plays today. I am gonna disable overlays and mess around and pass along the error code to devs cuz crashing isn't cool but it's expected. I am an 80s baby and my first system was a NES. I am just blown away at how far it has come! o7
https://youtu.be/2anREG6o1kM?si=dkd0EMHSzJh74v0c Um jogo que me surpreendeu muito, confesso que estava com preconceito de jogar ele por conta dos trailers não serem muito interessantes e ter pouco conteúdo dele na internet, mas ainda bem que dei uma chance. Pirate Patrol é um RPG com um toque de simulador no meio, você precisa usar sua nave para libertar e defender planetas de ataques das máquinas, libertando planetas libera regiões da ameaça por completo e ganha recompensas únicas por esse feito. Controlar a nave não é difícil, ela vem equipada com 4 torretas, 1 canhão principal e dois lançadores de mísseis, junto a esse arsenal você ainda pode ter 5 naves de combate menores para ajudar nas batalhas, e terão MUITAS batalhas. O jogo ele não é fácil e muitas vezes não deixa o jogador respirar, mesmo após derrotar hordas e mais hordas de naves inimigad e ter "limpado" o mapa, corre um risco de sofrer emboscadas ou de as máquinas detectarem sua nave e vir mais ataques, atrapalhando você de realizar reparos por exemplo, porém existem maneiras de se evitar isso, e aí entra seus oficiais. Na nave principal além do seu capitão você poderá ter mais 3 oficiais, cada um cumprindo uma função diferente, seja engenharia, controle das armas, ou segundo em comando, e aqui vem algo muito massa que é a questão do RPG já que eles tem status é igual a tudo no jogo eles podem subir de nível, melhorando as comunicações, inteligência, controles de armas e vários outros status, e eles interferem inclusive nessa chance de ser detectado. Nas batalhas você conseguira destroços das naves inimigas derrotadas e muitas vezes equipamentos, eles podem ser usados para ser vendidos, reciclados para logística ou podem ser equipadas na sua nave principal e nas menores, essa gameplay de batalhar e conseguir loot é bem viciante, e vai te prender por muitas horas de gameplay. Pretendo no futuro fazer uma Review completa dele no meu canal do YouTube, mas caso queira ver uma gameplay explicativa, só clicar no link que deixei lá encima.

Самая раздражающая проблема наверное во время игры - выделение юнита и его игнорирование твоих команд после одной команды.

I recommend this game to those that are into complex games. I'm sure this is a great game but for my wee little brain, it's just not for me. I haven't played the game long enough to give any positive or negative review. Too much on the screen for me and I don't have the patience to read everything to learn the game. To each their own review.
This game has a good potential to get really interesting. At the moment it's in a really early alpha status. Don't expect to much. Dear devs: Keep up the work and you will get a real gem. :)
The general idea is nice, but it looks like it was done as a school project. The Controls are non standard and strange. Select Units with Right Mouse Button for example. There is no clear Art Direction and everything looks like it's AI generated. You have Pixel Art Character Pictures, when you recruit them, in Dialoges, the Characters are PNG Images, some are Comic Art, some look like an AI generated them. The Fonts, yes, the style of writing, is all over the place. Multiple Fonts in the same picture, none used for highlighting certain things, it's just all over the place. It really looks like, one screen was made by Person A, the next one by Person B and they never talked to each other. The Gameplay is like a version of Battlestar Galactica and the Idea is great, but the execution, is so bare bones, that I would consider it a School Project and not a true game. So please devs, remake it in "good". The Idea is there. Maybe in Pirate Patrol 2, when you get your Design in Order, it would be worth the money. Right now... avoid.
Very buggy. A lot of the game features just plain isn't even finished yet. Would love to see someone finish this "project", but as is this should be considered an alpha release at best. It isn't done. Fun to blow things up with a fighter swarm sporting glitched missiles that annihilate anything though.
No updates since very early March. Game isn't fun in it's current state. Avoid this like the plague.
Temelinde her ne kadar iyi fikirlere sahip olsa da ve FTL'i anımsatsa da oyun bu haliyle bir şaka gibi. Bozuk, yarım yamalak çıkartılmış ve her noktasından dandiklik akıyor. Mobil oyunu geçin browser oyunları bile bu oyundan daha iyi görünüyordur. Bu sorunların dışında bir de oyunun kendini asla oyuncuya net bir şekilde açıklayamaması, oynanışın aşırı karmaşık ve rezalet bir hud ekranının olması da oyuncuyu boğmaya yetiyor.
