I’ll gladly put the money I was going to use for Modern Warfare 2 into this game, single player or no, because I’d rather support a developer that’s trying to do something positive in my favorite neglected genre, rather than a developer that is giving PC gamers the middle finger.

Same. No SP (or watered down SP) = no sale.

Oh yeah. Multiplayer only games all the way. That way there's no bloody compromising between the sp and mp.

TS FTFW!

Sorry my previous was trying to respond to Trithemius and TotalBiscuit, at which point “X3″ was the conversation at hand…

Anyway Naumachia – holy crap! What an awesome feeling of motion, speed, exhilaration…It feels like the first time I saw Battlestar Galatica spaceship combat, the shaky cams and speed…looks great…

Agreed with TotalBiscuit…I really hated X3 for the first 2 weeks or so, but after printing about 50 pages of reference material, and hammering my head at it the whole time…something clicked and it became wonderful. Fantastic, living economy…I played it intensely for about 2 months and loved it…then real life intruded…and now I am afraid to ever try it again and realize that I’d have to go thru all the effort again just to become functional…

jesus. this looks so good. the graphical style reminds me a bit to freespace2, just better.

i always find though that freelancer had the best mouse movement in the space shooter genre. freespace is more like a pain in the ass with mouth, but its playable.

looking very much forward to this game. gimme beta client now. :)

“Later on, space games had kept moving forward to commerce/RPG gameplay, and each time I try one of these.. well I’d say that the combat/action part really sucks, at least for someone like me that enjoyed titles named Freespace, X wing vs Tie fighter and other ones in which combat/dogfight were the focus of the game.”

Complete agreement. Been wanting something with really lovely combat for a long time. Even tried making my own for a TIGSource competition, but only had a couple of months spare time to work on it. Will be watching this one with great anticipation.

Can’t wait to buy it.

I love multiplayer-only game developers.

Multiplayer-only games tend to be so great if that’s your thing, because that’s what the devs wanted to make.
