uh-huh, so it is confirmed that while we can own the capships we cannot fly them? Again this could mean that we have only one ship at our disposal. The one with glorious past, you know.Hi guys,
ok lets be a bit more precise about the capital ships then. Piloting a huge capital ship from the seat of the pilot is boring, therefore we left that out.
ON THE OTHER HAND: The player can own and can command ships and he can use them for a lot more different things than before. Stations as well as large ships have a lot more ways to interact with them now and your own as well as other factions ships are much more interesting to play with.
Instead of sitting in the cockpit you will assign people to command ships for you.
You can't really freely develop in one ship, now can you?We want to keep the sandbox-character of the game, a game where I set my own goals, where I can freely develop,
I'll pick it apart peice by peice as it is fairly long.There are very big space stations with a huge number of ships, and rich life and a lot of details and our goal is to bring a certain credibility to that life, that you really have a universe where you experience a life of thousands or even millions of people that all have a daily life and when I do something with them, when I do missions, when I trade with them, when I build stations for them, then I change the universe. In the beginning I can do that on a very low level and later on I can do this to a higher extent.
So, we know that there are a lot of ships. This could mean ship types, or actual numbers of ships. If it is the former, why have so many ship types if the player can't use em'? Also, "rich life and a lot of details". What's the purpose of having such technical details if you cannot explore them fully?There are very big space stations with a huge number of ships, and rich life and a lot of details
So, this also implies a system where you can continue to develop, and develop, and develop until you have massive empire - that would be pretty hard to balance if you could only have one ship, wouldn't it?when I do missions, when I trade with them, when I build stations for them, then I change the universe. In the beginning I can do that on a very low level and later on I can do this to a higher extent.
) is a more realistic docking system. For instance, I think its quite strange that you can fly straight at your capship only to suddenly, with *no* transit time, be docked and flying the ship (and vice-versa). You should be able to actually land/dock, and choose when to exit your ship - if you even want to! You may only want to dock to give you some time to recharge the batteries (in a literal and otherwise sense). If you leave, you assume your commander status on the bridge, etc; things like that.
