Re: Three Words
Played around with it a little Last night and I like it. Word of advice though... Go through WP's at full speed. That way you might be able to out run the pirates on the other side (and if you're going to do this you might want to move extra shields to the rear of the ship).
I was originally quite leary of the hardpoint aspect of ship creation, but after seeing how it's been handled (light/heavy Versions of components that essentially just evenly multiply the tonage/structure/effect, etc.) I feel much better. Still wish that he'd been a little less restrictive with the weapon hardpoints though.
Tis quite fascinating to see the SE4 standbys in 3D.

Re: Three Words
Sorry Wydraz, I didn't mean to leave anyone out. It's just that, from what I know of the people around here, a mysterious title is a sure way of getting their attention.

Re: Three Words
the game is interesting from the point of being a SE fan. otherwise it is good, i think, but the lack of Z axis might be the killer. It is, however, a sound base for modding, and might well be worth the money. i might buy it someday.

Re: Three Words
I don't think it needs to be completely 3D. I think it makes it excessively difficult to navigate and engage targets. In games like Homeworld, it wasn't bad, because you just ordered the ships around and didn't really control them when it came to attacking.

Re: Three Words
what i had always enjoyed in flight/space simulators was the 3d freedom - heck, i still remember Virtual Velocity, and the fun i had falling down from the sky bombarding those pesky turrets to dust...
