So has anybody figured out the weapons lab for Galactic Arms Race yet?

To be honest the game is kinda not user friendly, too much floating test and colored things. But seemed fun for the while I played.

86% chance to win and I didnt get picked... I wanted it so bad...

I just put some shit together, fly around and shoot enemies.
I've no idea what i'm doing.

I'm still not really up to speed with the buying, selling, and weapon upgrade system.

Anyway, flying around shooting things and travelling through the spinny, swirly jumpgates is entertaining enough :)

Shame there doesn't seem to be a manual though.

I have played for a little bit with a trackpad. I need to get my mouse to enjoy this properly.

The game is nice but have a very bad gui... I think there isn't a way to know what you are doing on the lab, without testing it before... But for what I've saw, just focus on pick up weapons from enemies bases, because you're going to move fast to other systems (and find more strong weapons)

It's different for each weapon you find, unless it's the next generation of your previous weapon, since some weapons have more/less connections. If you look on the left you can see numbered lines connecting two points, look at the name of the points to see what you're going to change. Having said that, i have no idea what most of these points change, beside colors. =P

I usually just keep weapons that I like and wee what points have what connection values, then make guesses from there.

Haven't really tried to figure them out yet. I the weapon has a cool color and seems to be doing some good damage, it stays on my ship. :P

i hate you all so much right now. stop mocking me.

I haven't. I intend to try deciphering completely different weapons I have to make sure I understand how the structure induces the fire pattern. The UI does leave MUCH to be desired, and there are no shortcuts to in-game menus. I still like it lots, but it needs some shine before it'll go anywhere big.

I have no idea what I'm doing. I just fly around and shoot stuff. I wish that there was some kind of manual that explains it better. The first time I played I just sat in one spot and played it like the old Asteroids game. I got my best score that way so far. LOL

Astral Projection was logged on to the GAR Official MP Server last night and explained in minor detail how the Weapons Lab works;
When you want to modify a Neuralium Isotopes algorithm you need to adjust the "Connection" values to a positive or negative value of your preference by using unwanted "Salvaged" Neuralium Isotopes. Each adjustment uses a salvaged isotope. Adjustments made to "Connections" bound to a color will change the color(s) and those not bound to colors change the distance, spread range and other variables to determine how the weapon behaves.

Yeah, after you posted this XD, i don't know what i am doing with that lab

Still no spoiler here to how it works? Will check back later, thanks!

I'm just hunting achievements and doing some random stuff

I'll just have to say that half the time i'm playing it I have no clue what I am doing lol.

I am playing with it. I don't know how to use it but i click on everything lol.

you guys realize that the connection follow patterns and have a formula behind it? also certain colors block out other shots better. I haven't been around too long in this game to actually figure the weapon system out but I'm sure this has to do with wavelengths.

"R G B": red, green, blue, "Vx Vz": velocity to the side and velocity forward, "Px Pz" position in relation to where the weapon was fired, "Distance": distance from where the weapon was fired.

Also:

• the graphs on the screen are neural networks
• adjusting the connections that lead to Red Green Blue affect color
• adjusting the connections that lead to VX VZ will affect velocity and patterns
• the functions like Sin, Cos, Tan are different nodes
