Frontier developments has released the first video of actual gameplay. The video features a multi-player dogfight within a asteroid belt.

I'm afraid they're not going to achieve their Kickstarter goal. At this time they aren't even at 50%... unless they get more publicity fast (just 40 days to go) i don't think they'll get enough money. Which would be a shame.

I disagree, they've hit 50% in less than half the allotted time. And the trend is stable.
I'm quite confident that It'll make it biggrin

Also I pledged, so I WANT it to happen!

Oh it's a space game... sleepy


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

That's not how KS work, you tend to see two periods of intense activity, firstly at the start of the project and then at the end, the bits in between are best viewed as the doldrums.

I have seen two projects I thought would fail manage to pull through at the end when things picked, some even made decent stretch goals within the last 48 hrs.

No way to fully predict how a KS will end.

I really like some of the details they spoke about.

But i really dislike the typical non newtonian "aerodynamic" modelling of space flight.

That for me is a let down.

Devs said there was stuff there, but you just couldn't see it.

The game does have a Newtonian physics model, check out the FAQ on the kickstarter homepage.

In my case this video just convinced me to pledge. It will have to wait to next month, but i will, because looks very promising.
I only hope we will have workable cockpit, i dont expect a DCS/F4 clickable cockpit, but some workakble buttons/switches and functional mfd's.

Apparently it has Newtonian physics.

Will you have Newtonian physics in the game?
Yes. The degree of the fly-by-wire to override the feeling of skidding is something we will carefully tune.

It has newtonian physics, but sadly the combat still looks like it is just the sad old "WW2 fighter planes in space" trope, same as Star Citizen. I do wish the developers would get a bit more imaginative about simulating space combat!

Well if it is handled like evochron with swtiching between pure thrust vectoring and computer aid where the computer inputs the thrust to fly you where you are pointing, then that would be fine

I think Loophole doesn't remember Frontier.

That was the game with a lot of newtonian. It just wasn't that much fun overtaking your target with +10000 kts and trying to find it again, now was it?

Eventually I pledged 40 pounds. I don't think it will be like Star Citizen and it shouldn't. I expect Braben to be able to get started and finish it with the minimal amount. With Roberts I still fear he will blow it out of proportion and get into trouble before the end even with all that money he got.

Anyway, I think Braben wasn't consulting with a sellsman while setting up those pledge levels. There's no real Bonus in sight so the whole point of Kickstarter is to get it started and not xx% overfunding.IMO.
