Star Citizen - from the producer of Wing Commander
Silas Vitalia:
The idea of a real 'space sim' MMO where you have groups of players filling different roles on a team, say gunners on your ship, flying a capital ship, flying fighter escorts, etc, all in real-time in the same environment...
fills me with such complete joy.
This is the immersive space-sim we've all been dreaming of so many years.
The technology is finally getting to the point where we can have these 'overarching' games that all inhabit the same sphere.
People flying fighters with joysticks.
'Captains' steering these slow and massive ships into positions, wwII style battleship fights
First-person boarding actions and combat
Deep space exploration
All in one. Want so much.
Gottii:
My main concern with this game is that I havent been able to find any mention of the actual servers and hardware that will be powering the MMO.
Anyone seen anything addressing their ideas for that?
Silas Vitalia:
He's looking at only 60-100 on grid at the same time, which makes this MUCH more reasonable hardware wise.
Repeat, they aren't aiming for eve-style shenanigans, more like 'directed' instanced fights where the server might pair you up with a pirate group or something if you are both flying in the same direction and force an encounter.

What? No, I already told you, the house burnt down because I left the toaster on! Ask the insurance people!
You're the insurance people?

I resent this unlawful accusation about the integrity of toaster kind.
It was the blender who started the fire.
