    Some sort of space sim MMO in development..

    Don't get too excited because this may not even see release (who knows with the way games are going).. That and it's graphically beautiful which means as MMOs go you end up with fewer people in one area unless you love lag.

    Still the idea to be flying in space, and then fly down onto a planet seamlessly is pretty cool.. It looks to sorta be along the same lines as jumpgate...

    What needs to happen in a space MMO is a way a clan/outfit/group can purchase a Star Destroyer/Battlestar/etc and can then run around taking planets. And each member of the spaceship can 'specialize' in a number of different talents.
    Say you want to be a scientist. You develop your skillset. You then make planetfall and can then start to gather resources you need. (bring a RTS to the game)

    Or you're a fighter pilot. Given the previous scenario, your job is to fly CAP over the resource station planetside.

    Or you're a soldier. Your job is to protect the station on the planet. While the scientist gathers resources, you can go out and patrol the area around it.

    Or you're the commander of the spaceship. This person is charting paths, getting intelligence reports and sorting through other streams of incoming data to see where to go to next.

    Engineers, medics, haulers, mechanics, etc can all have a role in this game.

    That's what needs to happen in an epic MMO. Complete immersion into the universe.

    Totally agreed Sent! That would be awesome.

    They were going to kind of go that way with the Star Trek MMO originally, then some other company took over and made everyone captains of their own ships rather than crews and crewmembers :rolleyes:

    That's what got me excited about the original game.
    Could you imagine a game that lets the engineer manufacture and draft plans for a better warp core? Or how about the soldier who likes to tinker a bit with his firearm finds a way to tighten the laser beam enough that it generates 25% more power? Or the starship commander who finds a new wormhole that opens a new part of the universe?

    Manitou Old War Horse DragonWolf

    All I see are thirty howling Dragon Wolves de-orbiting and assaulting some mountain fortress up snowy hills, dodging grenades being rolled and tossed won at them, and conquering the fortress in spite of fierce opposition because of elite teamwork in small squads.

    GIMME WHAT I DREAM OF!!!!

    If this game brings this type battle, I am sold.

    It's impressive what a small squad of Dragonwolves can do to a battle. Let alone a gaming world. I think that Reign, Ivan and I were the first ones to "Drop the lights on Oshur". And that was just three of us.

    Ahhhhh oshur. I remember that epic night when it was a platoon of wolves vs the entire Vanu army after we drained their base and capped it. It was probably the 2nd most intense fight I'd ever seen in that game. We held it for hours.
    1st woulda been some night where I spent most of the time flying under the walls of our base at 50+ kph popping up and wasting as many NC as I could soooo many missles >.<

    I think this game might be my new OMGOMG can't wait. Seems a lot like EVE but its twitch based combat. I could totally play this. I hope it doesn't tank.
