yep, we're fine. add him.

so i heard snake from metal gear 5 is not snake. and i tend to agree.

Economy in SC

untill we will see mp gameplay i will stay sceptic

You mean he will fucked up game physics?

I'm waiting to see how will that work too. He said that you will be able to 'shut down' computer that helps to calculate all thruster forces and angles, and do some stuff that is common in space, like, not slowing the inertia, and doing the 360 turn while going in one direction.

If you are good pilot with good understanding how Newtonian physics work, you will be able to pull off some very nice moves.

Also, ship has a reactor that is providing power for all other ship's components (shield, engine, computers, weapon, etc) and all is connected by 'pipes' So, depending where are u hit, if some pipe is broken, you can lose some systems. Than damage display activates and you have to reroute the power through working 'pipes' to fix the damage. Imagine doing that under fire.
Awesome.

Some of the large ships are already done. There is a corvette called 'Idris' which needs 4 people to operate + it can take 8 passengers! You can walk through ship, and you have to do it, since if you are under attack you have to run toward the gun turrets and defend the ship, while someone has to be the pilot. Some others have to go to engineering room and watch for the flow from reactor and fix things if they get damaged. Crazy stuff! ;]

sounds like a dream game, thats why i'm sceptical

sounds like a game not subject to the dictat of industry ;p No forced ETA and shit.

Devs can take their time and let their ideas "run wild".

Looks like a promising game, with the economy and realism.

It's official guys.


I hotseated myself, played first to 4.

Game is community fueled, no big companies that only look how to make more money, dictating the game-play to suit bunch of console-playing-dumbos.
Finally Robert can do it as he always imagined space sim game. And the guy is a big child still re-living his fist contact with STAR WARS and Sf, you can see it in his eyes when he shows ships and talks about the game during the live streams.

Only things that could fuck up all are:

- If he don't do game physics to be 'easy' and 'hard' (easy - fly by wire system, hard - possibility to shut down fly by wire and do stuff yourself)

- if he try to make 'everything at once' and lost his idea in the process (lots of things not elaborated to the end, unfinished and too simple.

- goes over budget and had to 'cut down' some things ( new goal is 21 mil USD, so the game will be big MMO with everything he imagined)

I think he's really trying to make his pledges to have a game they want, to listen to them and deliver what he promised, not just because he is in the debt by them, but also because he loves that game genre and will do all he can to fulfill his dream.
