Just doing my part for the 'Bug War' Commander Dag!

I'm doing my part, are you doing yours? Federal Service guarantees citizenship.

Would you like to know more ?

Yeah, whatever happened to trying to emulate Ultima Online instead of WoW? Seriously! WAKE THE FUCK UP!

If someone came out with an updated game that allowed me to go into town kill some fuck for his ships deed and then take my new ship full of stolen weapons and sail it down the coast to fuel a war on some island it would make shit loads of money!

Or just make a house and sit in baking bread and making furniture....

Then I start hearing him talking about people getting paid by other players for their starship designs, and look at the pledge amounts and see they come with certain credits and start thinking 'Fucking hell, another fucking game that has in game purchases'.
You know, I heard that and I thought "finally, my childhood dream of making a living designing cool spaceships could be realised! "
I genuinely don't have a problem with that unless it becomes a "pay to win" scenario. In which case I'll stick to the single player campaign. Apparently, some people are making pretty good money designing stuff for TF2 and I think that's awesome.
aside from the minor problems of my complete and utter lack of artistic ability, design skills and 3d modelling know-how

TF2 is exactly the game to bring up on this topic. As long as Mr. Roberts sticks to this "no pay-to-win" rule. It's going to be fine. Let me shut my eyes and believe already
And I've been waiting for a dynamic MMO where players design/ have an impact on the environment in which they play.

Almost super excited for this. Wing Commander (Whole damn series), Strike Commander, Privateer 1 and 2 were all HUGE games for me growing up.

This has that same FEEL in the cockpit, the look of your pilot's hands on the joystick, it all has the right 'feel' of a wing commander game.

So I was getting really excited.

Then I start hearing him talking about people getting paid by other players for their starship designs, and look at the pledge amounts and see they come with certain credits and start thinking 'Fucking hell, another fucking game that has in game purchases'.

Fuck off.

I truly despise this trend. I want to pay for a game and know that I've paid for an experience I can enjoy beginning to end without spending any more, not wonder if I'm missing out on some part because I don't want to spend more money to get some super spaceship.

So now I'm bummed about it

And @shagen454, I am equally confused!

I've been saying for 20 years someone needed to make a networked game where the team piloted a B17 bomber. Side gunners, tail gunner, pilot, bomber...


Airwarrior and Warbirds did it already. It was pretty fun

And maybe some rooms off the central bridge that can double as beaming pods and alternate planets with hot green (read: alien) women in skintight outfits.>> ^Deano:

Next step add a room that can move and shudder, flashing lights and smoke effects. You could charge for that experience!

>> ^RhesusMonk:

me and @youmakekittymad played TIE Fighter on PC together before we were shaving. we'd alternate who was flying and shooting and who was on weapons/engines (joystick vs. keyboard). still probably the best gaming experience of my whole life. this shit looks awesome. i gotta fucking do this in my life.


Yes indeed. I'm gonna propose this to my boss as a "Team building" exercise.
