Check out this video to see what it looks like in game. It's kind of looking ALL SORTS OF AWESOME!]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=498886 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 11:23:57 +0200 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-2/?recent=499127#post=497080 Arena Commander is being released on May 29th...unless things go wrong. It's being rolled out to everyone at the same time as a single player experience with 2 modes to have a go at, a horde mode and a free flight mode. The multiplayer games will be given to the earliest backers first and then onwards through citizen number to the last people to jump on board. It's an early alpha and will be buggy and is un-finished but will have 4 ships, 2 maps and 5 game modes plus the free flight mode. More stuff will be added in the coming months. Click this and drool! Not long now until space based, skill required, flying pew-pew. BRING IT!]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=497080 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:08:24 +0200 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-2/?recent=499127#post=493215 https://robertsspaceindustries.com - Less than a thousand alpha slots left. Game, alpha and beta access for 32 Euros or 40 dollars. Spend 8 grand if you want to! Can't wait for this, gonna be amazing.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=493215 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:45:20 +0200 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=489918 Star Citizen - What is it? is a good place to start, give you an example of what's to come. This one is good too. All in game footage, it will look like that as you play...*drool* Here's the youtube channel with a tonne of information to have a look at, http://www.youtube.com/user/RobertsSpaceInd It sounds a lot like Eve Online but is a totally different animal. These ships are designed like real ships. They all fit together and have moving parts and you can walk around inside them, man turrets, become a science officer or whatever. The scope is HUGE! Eve is spreadsheets in space, this is about player skill, ACTUAL flying of craft with real physics and thrusters and engines and stuff. Boarding and FPS sections included. They have 40 million dollars with which to make this game and no publisher in sight, so it's all going on game development. Having a quick browse through the funding goals should give you another idea of the depth this thing is going to go into, it's kind of mind boggling and awesome. There will be 2 parts to the game. A single/Co-op experience called Squadron 42 which plops you into the military and then gives you choices and stuff. Once you finish that, (You don't have to finish it, you can skip it if you like and go become a pirate from day 1), then you get to play Star Citizen which will be a MMO style persistent universe where you can influence the stories and just go out a make a living doing whatever you like. 405,000 people signed up and it's not even in alpha yet...it really is going to be something special this. The Website is probably the best website for any game I've ever seen and has all the info you could want, lot's of it buried away in random threads or videos, but there is a lot of stuff to find. It's going to be epic and amazing and utterly brilliant. You really should be getting on board and that goes for the rest of you too. GET INVOLVED! If nothing else it's a big 'FUCK YOU' to all the big publishers who rush dev teams to finish games and are the root of all evil in the videogame industry to some people. This is a proven games maker with a dream and a shit load of money. He has no-one demanding stuff gets rushed out to make deadlines and nothing but time and money to make the Best Damn Space Sim Ever. You'll see the BDSSE thing all over the place, it's their mantra. Studios all over the world working on the different aspects of the game and making the individual components as hi fidelity and amazing as they can, lots of guys from Hollywood and other brilliant games studios, it's an exciting new way of making games and it's inspiring and amazing. Forty damn million dollars from Internet Spaceship Porn, incredible. Oh yeah, final edit, only 5925 alpha slots left. Just sayin'.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=489918 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 20:26:53 +0100 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=489890 Quoted from Monkeh
[...] Have a look at the OP Spike, check out the videos I linked, especially the 'What is it....' video.
Sorry for what seems to appear as laziness, but I'm at work, so I've not been able to do that. Will check as soon as I get home :)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=489890 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 18:16:42 +0100 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=489888 Quoted from Spike Himself
Ok so you've explained in how many ways we can spend money on this, but what is it?
Have a look at the OP Spike, check out the videos I linked, especially the 'Introduction....' video. It's going to be a space SIM that is skill based, ie you fly your ships in real time and real physics. That's where it's different to Eve which is more spreadsheets and less skill. It's difficult to fit into a single post why this is worth your attention but if you like MMO's, space sims or vast, open world sand box experiences then this may be for you. It's being made by Chris Roberts who made the Wing Commander games and lots of other amazing games a few years ago before going off to make films such as 'Lucky Number Slevin'. He's a very accomplished game maker and this is going to be the best game ever.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=489888 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 17:58:05 +0100 Reply by Medic-kun https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=489885 Quoted from toogyboogy
sounds to me this is eve online
Star citizen is what eve online could have been, and its different. Its going to be played from first person, the battles will be on a smaller scale since everything is physically emulated, it's basically a ww2 fighter pilot game set in space & the roles that people can do are similar to eve online, but there is no skill system. Not necessarily combat based tho, it does have the economical chain of eve online in a different way. fun fact: player to AI ratio will be about 1 to 10]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=489885 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 17:17:52 +0100 Reply by E-thug https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=489875 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=489875 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:16:40 +0100 Reply by reservoir_dog https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=489868 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=489868 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:58:13 +0100 Reply by Genmix https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=489859 Quoted from Spike Himself

Space sim to put it crudely]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=489859 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:22:59 +0100 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=489854 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=489854 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:18:03 +0100 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=489833 40 million of the dollars in funding and 405,000 citizens signed up to play. Once the dog fighting module is released at the end of April those numbers are going to skyrocket even further. This game is going to be HUGE and special and fantastic and around for years and amazing and all of the things that will make it incredible...probably. I plan on getting lost in the 'verse for a long time. Think I'm going to specialise in weapons and overclocking them to be the best around, make a fortune selling the best to the richest. Then buy a huge ship and cruise around doing whatever with a nice crew. For anyone interested and with questions about the game or whatever, feel free to ask away, watch some videos, or just browse https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.comthe forums[/url] for answers, there's loads of information out there and in my brain, I've done a lot of the hard work for you really, delve inside my mind, I dare you! Ask me stuff. Just to re-iterate, you can buy the game now by pledging 24 Euros. That gives you a copy of the game and the Aurora MR starter ship, as well as a hangar, some starting UEE credits and insurance for the hull of your ship for a couple of months. For pledging 32 Euros you get the same plus alpha and beta access too. You can spend a little more, a lot more, or even stupid amounts if you so wish, with plenty of choice inbetween, but you only need to spend the 24 Euros to play the game. Another thing to note is that there will never be a sale on these things...ever. In fact once the game launches you won't be able to buy ships with money again. They literally don't require any more funding as it is, so it will never go down in price. Also, if new people got ships for less than original backers the forums would explode and the world would probably end, some of these people are taking this game quite seriously. You never have to encounter these people if you don't want to, a PvP slider will be provided for those that seek less people to interact with. At release it will be AT LEAST twice the current 24 Euros. Got to be worth a punt, surely?]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=489833 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 14:09:22 +0100 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-27990/page-1/?recent=499127#post=484712 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=27990&post=484712 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:08:09 +0100
