Read the article Sentrosi. They said there were no plans for a death star on release, but they allured to the likelihood of one being added later on.

/me is so gonna pilot a death star if I ever am able to.

nah, what itll be is a dev created special event, and i hear there will be missions where there will be large space battles and frigates and Star Destroyers and what not, but i belive that there will only be small cap ships, like Corvetts, avilible to players, mabey a modified corvett, i think those can hold a few fighters.

i hope i get in the beta, that and im worried about the fact that ill have to get in the game first, then grind, then get to fly my ship. Awing all the way baby!

oh, and theres no upkeep costs like a house, the only costs are the costs to have your ships parts repaired when they get damaged by enemies.

Wasn't there allready a game like this? I remember I had a game called X-wing VS Tie fighter, back when I was like 10. Although I was a noob and couldn't figure out what to do or how to get it online, I'm pretty sure there was online capability.

There have been quite a few online space shooters. There have been no online real time MMO space shooters. (Atleast not that I am aware of, If someone knows of one that is currently available please tell me so I can indulge myself.)

Ah, I didn't read the MMO part. This one had individual servers with up to I think 32 people. It was quite a cool game now that I recall.

If it was Star Trek I'd be googling it ten times already, but this seems cool anyways.

I really liked Descent: Freespace... I'd like to see something to that effect go MMO. (With more custom options for ships, of course)

If this is anything what it claims to be, shit, I might have another monthly fee. But I'm going to be very very cautious about this. It might, in fact, be shit.

I'd rather see a game 100% dedicated to space fighting with squadrens and outfits with massive capitol ships. I would buy that game so goddamn fast. If I do play this, I'm not looking forward to having to "level up" my character or whatever before I can get into the ship combat.

So, when is this game due out. 20 years?

Biohazzard56 · 2004-05-28, 10:01 AM

Planetside Article on the Last Page of the Magazine, scan it.

Also, Real Time Space Combat wont save the trainwreck that is SWG and it will probably be awhile before you get your own starship.

Sweet. This sounds like what Jumpgate aspired to be, only in the Star Wars universe.

Onizuka · 2004-05-28, 11:36 AM

Going back...you can't judge a game just by looking and screens, little block blotches of ink on thin paper, or how good its predecessors were. Thats what some people do to anime, and it pisses me off.

I don't know if the game will be good or not, I can only hope.

Strygun · 2004-05-28, 11:54 AM

Does anyone see a trend here? SWG had a huge hipe about it a long time before it came out. Then, it came out, it was THE game for about 2 months, then it flopped like a fish out of water.

They have ruined SWG, and they will ruin this game from the start.

Don't believe your eyes....
