Bossa did a reddit ama . Some really exciting stuff:
- They're doing a single server per continent, a la EVE.
- There won't be objectives short of resources being found only in specific areas.
- Ships are fully customizable even down to the shape/symmetry. So yes, dongships/ramhulks will be 100% doable.
- They're selling vanity stuff with microtransactions, but it will be free to play otherwise.
- You'll be able to harpoon other ships and drag them in, but the game actually simulates tension on the ropes with the potential to pull poo poo around.

I think this could be really cool.

that sounds good :unsmith:

Hey guys, I started the original WA thread in the games forum.

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3765183&pagenumber=1#lastpost

But I think we'really going to go in a different direction than GoonWaffe. I was aroundoing in Albion when the theft happened and it made a lot of salty asshats kinda mad. So I'll be avoiding that.

More exposure to WA isn't a bad thing though. More goons is good!

isnt world adrift actually doing something smart about that though

last i read which was many months ago about how they're implementing their server structure on the clouds or whatever so it can cover gaps in latency or whatevs

i wonder about portals though, this game seems like it would have portal devices to set up on islands for traveling...

i also wonder if therell be some kind of hub city like a Jita or something

It's our cunning new design, the external engine is just for distraction while the hull hides the 2 inaccessible main engines. We already had some guy try to grapple onto the ship and wreck the cores/engine, they seemed perplexed when no matter how much they salvaged the two cores on the bottom the ship would not sink.

Sadly because I'm a dumbass I then made the 3 wings out of SOLID GOLD so the drat thing would only reach like 10-15 knots. We eventually did some upgrades and slapped another 2 jets to the sides. You also can't see the rest of the guns but it had 3 in that iteration and we added a 4th.

ya i was there and it was hilarious

he latched on because I stole a bunch of metal from his crate box, i broke the box with the salvage tool and grabbed about 3k worth of metal out of them and he was shooting me so I was shouting at Moikii to bring the ship down so I could latch onto it. Lag made me over shoot but I had still latched to it, jumped in, dumped the metal then we realized the guy who was shooting had enough grapple range to latch onto the ship, i simply glided to it so i didnt think it was grappable from land so we kicked the engine into overdrive and he hung on for a solid couple of minutes trying to destroy the fake engines and cores then got whipped off eventually, we were all hanging onto for dear life on the ship trying to kick him off by stamping on his parasitic face with our boots offa the ship. It was pretty hilarious. He and his friends were accusing us of hacking because we blew up their ship still in construction and they were upset.

It was a fun afternoon :sun:

LG remember those 2 [XBD] guys we found on the island cluster and pulled their ship off the side..

So me, Derrio, and Moikki are on Arrakis yesterday. We are building a ship and this dude named Dan shows up.

Exact interaction..
A random wing falls out the sky and crashes about 100 yards away, no idea why.

2 minutes later

*Dan runs up to us from some distance
Dan: So you are Forge..
Forge: Hi
Dan: Some people are looking for you
Forge: why
Dan: They said you attacked them and their looking to kill you
Dan: They blew up my ship because they thought I was you
Dan: What did you do to them
Forge: No idea
Forge: Who were they?
Dan: XBD something
Dan: What does your ship look like because they thought I was you for some reason
Forge: It's a viking ship
Dan: Hmm mine looks like a speed boat
:Worlds Adrift:

ahahaha! I do oh no way

thats awesome

ya thats like a good sign for pvp if there's bitter grudges already, i really have been enjoying this game. Just need to optimize. I've always wanted a game where you could actually grapple actively for once instead of all the hyper realism.

Maybe add some kind of territory claim system to encourage air battles

thats what im hoping in later updates. I figure they're just fleshing out the bread and butter atm then add features that allow us to transport to armadas and fly in formation somehow

bonuses to territorial claims, better mats etc.

I auto piloted through a wind wall last night. Autopilot is basically already in the game. Formations are dumb and they should never be. Just drive your boat. Really the only people who need formations are pubbies so they can be screaming at other pubbies about what to do and how to fly.

I'm telling you now after seeing the poo poo posted on the public forums.. Each pubbie ship will require the "captain" position. Someone said the other day they were posting about starting their own in game government.

yea i didn't really mean anything as spergy as this wrt to formations :chloe: :yikes:

i was just thinking about easy organization, just having a rally point so that people could fly to a destination together, not some kind of automatic locked in formation.

will be interesting to coordinate ship speed and such, but having strength in numbers for air superiority would be cool as heck because i lust for giant air battles where people jump off and plant timed charges and hop from ship to ship while cannons shoot through the exploded hulls set from timed explosives and dumb silly stuff like that

Today I woke up and I decided I wanted to experiment more with timed explosives.

Well I'm a certified Demolitions Expert now friends.

Timed Explosives take a bit to set up and if you get shot, you have to start over. But when you plant 2 at a time the results get.... interesting.

Manage to plant 3 in the same spot? Decks start flying apart. They're a bit quirky when ships are moving as they slide as soon as you start to place them.

I want to thank the pubbies for giving me a grant to explore this aspect in World's Adrift and while tears is an unusual currency to fund my experimentation, it was worth it.
