They released some video of a larger battle, it looks good. Especially pilots getting blasted out of their ships and shooting their foe with rocket launchers :3

No iff, I'm already having flashbacks of playing rust with friends. Cant wait for the great calls outs like "he's by the rock", "I see one", and "Hes right there! Why cant you see him? Are you loving blind?!"

"servers" are more like p2p zones, so at worst you'd probably just be crashing a few people, and then something would have to come in and nuke/pave the zone.

Honestly? Color coordination or style designs like having checker patterns or stripes on specific parts of the ship. Would also help to have some form of standardization of designs or parts for ships to create more uniform and recognizable profiles. Course all this is up in the air probably subject to change until we get our hands on game. :shrug:

It was worse than just SOE bad. The developers had no idea how voxels actually worked. They put tools in for us to use and some of them either did nothing or didn't do what was expected half the time. The hardcore players found out how voxels actually worked, then put together this archaic tome of forbidden knowledge, allowing the developers to stop iterating on the tools and told the community to use that cursed document instead.

I wish I had saved some of the creations SOE/Daybreak promoted. The lumpy bee the size of a car still stands out in my mind (it was not supposed to be a bee).

Their "best" idea still is the moon they banish all the "trolls griefers and nazis" too so they're still allowed to play, just with each other, and it'll be the COMMUNITY that polices them.

Oh my sweet summer children. I love all the design/gameplay aspects so far, but it's very clear to me they're going to have to learn how to manage a community in a full loot MMO PVP game, which generates vitriol like no other. CCP is just smart enough to consider it part of the gameplay experience.

Starbase - Tools Feature Video

E: There better be a way to password protect a ship somehow, because I think they're underestimating how antagonistic and disruptive the average player is going to be. I can already see automatic copy & paste macros drive-by being a thing if there isn't.

It looks like you need to at least be able to touch a ship to change those controls. I'm more worried about the fact that it looks like there is 100's of individual controls that can be implemented per ship.

If it's broken, it's probably my fault
Honestly, the more I watch these videos, the more I'm realising that building a ship is going to be more like a month of building, testing and debugging

I might as well be doing my actual job

Guess they really are trying to go for the eve vibe of space jobs

ya it seems like it'll be eve wherein having something like a titan blueprint would be absurdly valuable, except in this case you don't have to do some stupid faction grinding bullshit, you just design it.

also cool because you can design ships without actually using any resources, you can do it all with the blueprint mode... obv you need to actually build it to try it out, refine, etc.

good poo poo, can't wait. so bored.

As long as we have sufficient people in our own org doing this, it should be fine. Knowing goons, we just might.

I rather have a few standard designs people iterate on anyway for purposes of uniformity in PVP.

If all our fleet op ships aren’t uniformly dong and goatse themed then SA is dead to me.

I already have an idea for a type of standardization for a self-powered, modular, parasite (aka, something that attaches to the outer hull) transportable cargo trailer, based on what I've seen so far for all the trailers. I especially have some nifty ideas if the actuators, rails, and rotors work that way I think they do (which they probably won't).
