Hey,
I am so curious for this release and wanted to share something with you guys.:
I am posting a few questions related to gameplay experiences I had in Escape Velocity (and override/ Nova)
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/evn/ (official site for EVN)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_Velocity_(video_game) (Wikipedia page)
It was original a MAC game a 2D game which for the *in space part* is quite similar in gameplay in what you are working out (but a lot simpler). I played this game so much when I was little and till this day to me gameplay wise it is still my favourite gameplay experience.
It had some awesome gameplay dynamics which made the game so much fun :
*Spacebattles in Escape Velocity
- Disabling ships was possible this gave you the option to try and board the ship (this allready is quite similar with STO)
- You could try and capture the ship or its resources or crew (succes was dependent on the skills of the crew and the amount of crew you had : Small ships : easy / Bigger ships : Difficult)
- When you captured the ship you could use it as your own / Use it as an escort / Sell the escort at a planet with a shipyard
- Escorts could be upgraded
So my question :
I read that you will be able to board the ships but what happens when you succesfully board the ship what are the possible outcomes of a situation.
(having NPC escorts/ Upgrading escorts / Capturing ships / Cargo / selling captured ships)
I can imagine this is not the original intent but making these things complicated and very rare events may make these things one of the most rewarding experiences possible in the game...
I hope you guys allready are way ahead of me on this.
Kind regards,
KC
