question

[culkid]

instead of using warpgates, cant you just fly to the other islands?

[mistled]

nope

In a previous post, it was mentioned that you cannot run out of fuel because the gate's power your vehicle. So if you leave the island, your skeeter will turn into a submersible. Guess that answers that question.

[mistled]

yeah, once you get a certain distance offshore, I think you just fall out of the sky

Hehe I'd like to see some n00b flying a galaxy full of people accidentaly fly out of range of the island, causing his galaxy to become an amphibious assault craft.

it would lag up the game having so much ocean etc.. so it is purely continental fighting. No over ocean stuff. That's why ship warfare is very unlikely.

[Sputty]

Each continent is ona separate "load"(I don't know the real word for it) so they just put that in. Yes, that is a reason why major ship battles are unlikely. They may put in some coastal craft but not much more than that.

i can see how ship warfare would work. Just make each section of ocean a "load" which could be done by just adding server space.

They wanted have the least amount of load time possible to make a fast paced game...it might turn into Morrowind. ahh the loads on that were annoying as hell.
