Hi everybody,

Gaijin has recently announced a new Space Action MMO - Star Conflict

Here's their website: http://www.star-conflict.com/

Anyway, I'm a bit new to the genre (actually not all that new, I've played Elite on an Acorn Electron back in the 80s),
and I'd appreciate some advice from people here who are more up to date with it.

Gaijin asked me for places where they could expose their new games, i.e. other forums, blogs etc. They are also
very actively looking for feedback to everything about their game which will flow directly into the development.

Looking forward to your opinions and comments!

Thanks,

MAC

Not a lot of info, but does sound a little like Black Prophecy, but adding command is nice.
First questions I'd have:
--cockpit view? 3rd person does nothing for me
--is "flight" realistic or at least influenced by Newtonian movement, or is this a Wing Commander style with just whipping around quickly.
--is combat another "chase the cursor" fast paced shooter, or is it at a slower pace conducive to using a flight stick?
--is it an open universe, travel where you want, or is it all about getting an assignment at a station, run the mission and return. How much freedom is there to play it as you want?
--how is navigation handled? can you take off and explore on your own?
--Capital ships?
--If so, will you be able to take control of the capital ships directly, or just command from your own ship?
--do you obtain or build new ships, or just evolve the one you start with?
--is there an economy built in, or is this all experience and skill ranking?
--what can you do other than combat and scouting? How is diplomacy handled?
--can you board and capture other ships?
--can you move around inside your own ship--walking around, not just control panels
--do you command a crew in your ship or are you responsible for everything yourself?
--free to play/microtransactions or subscription based?
-Mainly, iets see some gameplay videos. wink


A little advice, in the description:
"Take command of varied battleships, from nimble scouting ships to heavy frigates loaded with guns and rockets. In due time, you can command your own fleet."

Don't say "battleship" when you don't mean "battleship". I think they're just trying to say "fighter", but at first I got an impression of capital ships.

Hi RK,

Thanks for your list of questions. I'll repost on the developers forum.
There are some answers for you already: http://forum.gaijinent.com/index.php?/forum/34-star-conflict/

I'll also pass on your hint about the Battleships. I don't know if they mean to say fighter or not, but if they
do I agree it would be good to change.

Drifting about the Gaijin site after following a link to their
"top secret" April first rollout, (as there must have been a source
for their space station artwork), I note that the "Star Conflict" beta
is open. I thought I'd see some comment on it here, but not that I can find...?

The bolded and red comments below really cause me to not want to play this game at all...however I did just put down my information for the open beta. Also those comments really show that there is ZERO imagination in the game design studios at Gaijin....creating a sector with the "leet speak" numerical designation as the place to play. I mean come on guys use the gray matter and make something up that at least is close to original.

Game Info

Star Conflict, a new dynamic MMO action game that puts you at the helm of a space ship to fight in the star fleet’s massive battles!

Three thousand years have passed since the first colonists left Earth. Now the galaxy is divided between the militant star empires and independent mercenary groups. In a remote corner of the galaxy — Sector 1337, the area of the dead — a world has been left behind. Here, the ruins of a great civilization of Precursors have recently been discovered.

Mercenaries and adventurers have flocked to the sector to sift through the ruins and loot its abandoned artifacts, without consideration of the danger. Many have disappeared — including members of well-armed expeditions — but those who have managed to return have uncovered unprecedented riches. So looters continue to come here, to find the Precursors’ lost treasures — and to fight for them.

With the galaxy on the brink of war and the Precursors’ legacy at stake, elite pilots will be in high demand. Join them in Star Conflict, where a new era of space action awaits!

You can sing up Beta — here.

Star conflict looks something like World of warplanes in space.It will be play4free, something like WoT.There will be light medium and heavy fighters, frigates, interceptors, and even dreadnaughts that require a whole clan to control! For more information regarding it, please check here
