    There was a game very similar to this one called House of the dying sun that came out in 2016. Its a first person dog fighting rts fleet management game as well but without the open-world aspect to it. The game was so good but ended to fast, had me itching for something like it ever since.

    The appeal of salvaging in these kinds of games is that you get to put your enemies where they belong; the cargo bay in nice standardized chunks of material.

  • @TehJumpingJawa
    @TehJumpingJawa Год назад +3

    A few suggestions; in case the dev is reading these comments...
    - Get rid of the pitch ladder; it's redundant clutter in the cockpit.
    - simplify the missile firing process; get rid of the arming ('R') stage and simply have the missile's tracking always active.
    - black out the area behind the virtual radar; far too easy for contacts to be washed out by the background.
    - increase the transparency of the cockpit glass texture; the crazing on the cockpit can be distractingly visible.
    - contracts shouldn't be hidden away inside the tactical screen. It'd be more immersive & intuitive to have them accessed through the craft's MFDs. (a'la Wing Commander)

    In Elite we call it the "Loop of shame" when you overshoot a star system because you have to loop back. usually happens when not paying attention to your velocity!
    I too have been looking forward to this game, it reminds me a lot of Freespace 2, but with a dynamic campaign, I love dynamic campaigns in games.
    As for salvaging, the latest X4 expansion added salvaging, you may want to check that out if you haven't X4 released in really rough shape, but as usual Egosoft put a ton of work into it, and its now a great game, the next expansion is adding the Boron race, and some new carrier mechanics, and looks awesome.

    The explosions in space aren't loud enough for me. I'll fall asleep while playing space sims without thunderous booms shaking my screen in the virtual vacuum of space.

    single player only? Multiplayer? PvP or Co-Op?

    what is the biggest ship the game lets you fly? Corvettes, frigates, destroyers, cruisers, Battlecruisers etc.?

      Currently only medium fighters but frigates and destroyers will come.

    Why oh why, You cruel Splat! Why you show me such game when it's not yet released? I will have to revisit Elite yet again to be ground down by its coarse, serrated surfaces!

    I generally buy well-made indie games, even if I have no interest in playing them, to support small development teams. My hopes are that some of them will develop the next Rimworld, Craft the World, GalCiv II, No Man's Sky, etc.
    Oh, and **** EA.

    5:34 The ship's name is Antaris, maybe the developers are fans of the old Realspace games from Arcadetown?

    by the way, "engage mode" is actually "don't engage unless you're in close combat" mode :P

    I was looking for a different type of space combat game. This looks to be your run of the mill arcade dog fighting shooter were you chase each others tails.
