Reaching the planets could be much easier in X2, we don't know how much has changed compared to X-Tension, one thing is sure though that a lot has changed we didn't expect, like choosing your docking berth inside stations for instance. Or being able to "borrow" cargo laying around in a station.Rogue wrote:Oldmans right.
Just think of the sheer strain on the programming, I mean that and the fact that Planets take bloody forever to reach in XT. Only to crash into. Tho I did once try and see how close to the surface I could get while going flat out in an Octopus without crashing.
I agree with ya 100%, and I don't expect being able to fly around in a planet's atmosphere either. Just like you said, more in the likes of Privateer. It would add quite a bit to the game though, knowing you an visit some spaceport on the planets you see.UncleKnobbysBack wrote:Ok just read the Press Release thread.
I supect this will be done using cut scenes, and then work like Privateer, i.e. a little map, and the ability to visit bar's etc.
I doubt we will be able to fly about on planet's.
Maybe we will get to fly down to a landing pad, similar to EFC.
I'm not trying to knock this idea, it would be great, but I think it would take a lot longer to develope the game, if we could fly about on planet's.
And that can only mean more delay's, which is a bad thing.

and now i hear that you can go on planets.....even better!
I don't think so Pointer
Much as i'd like to believe this could happen, still.....there seems to be a lot of other new things in X2 so it's no big deal if ya can't... IMO.
Maybe in the future.....maybe.....

I think Iwar 2 had reasonable AI, around stations there was a deadzone where you could not use jumpdrive until you were at a safe distance, if weapons were fired within the deadzone you were hailed by station and defence ships would do a fly by maybe even stop close by (no comms from ships giving warnings though) when answering distress calls the usual scenario was two or three freighters under attack if you approached the melee the fighters would attack but if you waited till attack had finished the enemy fighters would fly away not even noticing your shipAye Capn wrote:It would be kind of cool if popping off a few stray rounds in a peaceful sector attracted a bunch of attention, like if fighter patrols start shadowing you or if you're within communication range of a station they complain. It shouldn't affect your faction status or anything, it would just be for show. It's analogous to discharging a firearm in the country versus the city. Split the difference for frontier towns -- or X universe space sectors.
