Now what about space combat...

SquirrelMan · 2004-03-07, 10:32 PM

This has probably been suggested before, but what about if there were bases in space? There could be ship-to-ship combat, with about 10 gunners with gigantic laser cannons or something, and fighters, bombers, and, especially, boarding actions... Like Battlefield Gothic (offshoot of Warhammer 40k, a futuristic tabletop game for those who dont know, quite fun). I would like to see it, but maybe it is too much of a design stretch... (btw, I dont think starships should be able to be brought to ground, too powerful)

Adding a space sim element to PS would be so fucking sweet, but it will never happen. Even if it did happen, the devs would find a way to fuck it up.

awww, have faith in the devs. They try their best. Or am I just being naive?

P.S, does anyone else play Battlefield Gothic? Eldar rock.

EDIT: While i'm at it, naval combat would be cool too. Submarines especially. Imagine- a huge battle on land, a huge battle at sea, and many ships pounding the base with batteries of artillery

Well, they did make a great game. And it was the first of its kind (WW2 Online doesn't count) so we all probably should of expected it to be buggy. So I guess the devs are fine. But, thats not what thiss thread is about.

yep. It's about dreaming about space and naval combat. And cooler air combat while i'm at it too.

I LOVE barnstorming.

I sense a Expansion....=)

Yeah there was a lot of talk about this and it is extremly possible that there will be a space combat expansion but, first they still need to work on finishing up capitols and the OBO system before thinking of making another expansion.

...and making CC worth its cost.

Oh MY! WH40K people here?

Brings back memories of my painting days, when I was in secondary school.

(Ok I was a *unique* girl)
I think I still got my little army of Slaesh Demonettes, Chao Champion and a company of Adeptus Astartes White Panther somewhere.....

Never did get round to playing the game, oh well...
