Prologue
After the 11th island captured, while i was on my way to capture the 12th, i noticed some turrets on my far eastern island was blinking.
Then realised that i can control them remotely, so i checked them manually, one by one.
It was the enemy carrier, after its 15th island captured it was heading to an island nearby my
current target.
I did a "Quick" quicksave in-case of a major f*ckup on my, or the "not so trust worthy" AI's end occurs, but mostly AI's end.
Attack Begins
Then I told my Carrier to bring me everyone. She stupidly asked, "What do you mean everyone?"
I told her by screaming into her face, "EEEVERYONEEEE!". Theeen, the game closed down on me.
Maybe after i sent one Albatros into air, I shouldn't have loaded one to the unoccupied slot. MAYBE THATS THE REASON IT SENT ME TO DESKTOP!
I returned to the combat and shot the enemy with everything i got.
Won The First Battle
Cutscene enters and I was wondering what to do next. Then it put me back into the game again.
I tried entering the enemy carrier, it was pitch black on exterior walls, so i only could hop from deck to deck jumping.
There was no interactables on the charred carrier, so i tried to get in without destroying it. Loaded my backup save.
Second Encounter, Or Not?
I had saved at the moment i was launching everything, so i disabled the lifts, because it was destroying every flying object in a second.
Realised it was not firing at me at all. Maybe it was not designed to fire at anything, except my planes that attack it.
It was too colorful to be a world destroying kind, headed upstairs to look for the people who were brutal enough to do such things.
To my surprise, every room i got in was empty and dark. At first glance, i did not notice any pressable buttons.
But actually, every button was where it was supposed to be. I poked around a bit, and turns out, I can command this carrier too!
Long story short, I decided to crash it to a shore, where it can't capture any more islands. More experiments on that later
Almost forgot, if you remember the "Self-Destruction prosedures", you can still destroy the enemy carrier while on-board.
But seems llike scopes are unusable, going to try the drone command as well, but i don't expect a different outcome.
Epilogue
In the end, game finished. Don't know what to do. I enjoyed and still was enjoying the game till I encountered the enemy capital ship. Now?
I don't know if i can get anything out of this game anymore. Maybe if the enemy carrier was a submersible and until you capture all the islands, it wouldn't show itself, maybe then i would've spend almost over 200-300 hours, ( with the island count being near 50, or maybe more, that is the approximate gameplay hours to capture them all in my opinion and gameplay style) and eventually disappointed from a game being awesome in a lot of aspects but has a sh*tty ending.
In all honesty, I really enjoyed every second of the game, it is on my favourite games to play when you need some fresh air and salty waters list. I can only hope that ending can be postponed, glorified, beautified(?), shizzle dazzled, or something.
TL;DR
Thanks for a good game with sh*tty ending.
Best regards, Oz.
Edit
You know, there are games with good atmosphere, gameplay mechanics are plenty, but the twist is, those games have one thing in common, f*cky ending. Which makes them a game to speedrun. This is one of them. A game for speedrunners to mock with.
