Speaking of similarities... how similiar is the game play going to be to Escape Velocity:Nova ?

Dante · #2 September 5th, 2003, 11:13 AM

I think quite similar, except that it probably won't ship with 6 major storylines. Starfury is in 3D, so the combat might be a bit more difficult.

EV:N is a great game; I can recommend it to anybody here who waits for Starfury. There's a windows port available, and the shareware Version is good for 30 days. You only miss out a few ships and the ability to capture enemy vessels.

I think starfury you only have controle over one ship, whereas in noble amarda you can control many.

You have direct control over the one ship you are personally in, but if you have a carrier (or just fighter bays) for example, you can order your fighters around.

And of course, you can mod the precice definition of "Fighter" to include escort destroyers if you cared to.

Come to think of it, a Devnull-style Pet Space Monster would be fun to unleash on an unsuspecting pirate clan

Have you pre-ordered yet? If not do so before the first fun is sold out.
