I would like to know...

What will this game offer that the others don't?

If this game will not ever have the following, then give up, everyone will call it WoW in space.

=Starship and base interiors
-Fully walkable and functional multi decked interior
-Ship consoles that allow for different tasks, and a securty system to allow permissions to certain ones.
-Accesable interior systems that can be directly modified,repaired,tweaked by players onboard a ship
-Internal explosions at the point that a weapon hits a shieldess section (can kill or wound players)
-Being able to view the action of the outside through a window or screen on the ship
-Abilty to board another ship, either in a peaceful manner, or to attempt to sabatoge or capture the starship.

=Fabricaton
-Schematics for nearly every item and object that is non-organic and has a function of some sort
-Starship fabrication via shipyards

=Colonys
-Player operated colonys with production and consumption and the abilty to set prices on commoditys

All of the following to be done by PLAYERS, not a mere variable, or some mindless NPC.



That's all I can think of at the moment, and btw, there is a game that has everything in that list already.
It's called starquest online.

Anyways I hope you all make the right decisions on this project and don't go for the easy rip off tactic to just dress a game up real nice, bring in some cash and not care what the community wants after you got there money.

It's all about the graphics for people now days isn't it...

1st: Welcome :D
2nd: good list, i'll try my best to answer some of the questions since im regular spammer here and seen 88% of the threads made so far :D answers are in bold


=Starship and base interiors
-Fully walkable and functional multi decked interior
check, just posted in another thread where Jack has said there will be missions within your starship and that they will be customisable

-Ship consoles that allow for different tasks, and a securty system to allow permissions to certain ones.
unsure as this one hasnt actually come up yet, might be worth talking about

-Accesable interior systems that can be directly modified,repaired,tweaked by players onboard a ship
no official word yet but most of us are really hoping that this is true

-Internal explosions at the point that a weapon hits a shieldess section (can kill or wound players)
again hasnt come up but that is one great idea!!! :D

-Being able to view the action of the outside through a window or screen on the ship
since interiors have been stated by Jack then i would hope this is granted

-Abilty to board another ship, either in a peaceful manner, or to attempt to sabatoge or capture the starship.
this should be given if it has already been suggested but if not then add it!


=Fabricaton
-Schematics for nearly every item and object that is non-organic and has a function of some sort
-Starship fabrication via shipyards
unsure as to if you mean to create these items from scratch or what..


=Colonys
-Player operated colonys with production and consumption and the abilty to set prices on commoditys
talking about this in a thread and we hope this will be included but for pricing on commodoties it would depend as to what faction space the base operates in

Oh for the fabrication, i mean being able to

1. harvest raw materials (This can include deposits on planets or asteroids)
2. Reverse engineer or purchase a schematic for a specific object
3. Carry out the recipe for it and when complete... tada, duplicate item.

In SQO... when you are out in deep space, or if you are a criminal, you can't just go to terra, it could be 10 hours away and not worth the tritium fuel to go all the way to pick up basic stuff.

This allows you to be comletely self suffecient and not rely on NPC vendors.

Sounds great to me, mining for materials is a welcome break from away missions (questing) and other activities!

ahh thank you!

then in that case no information has been mentioned or rumored yet although there is a thread discussing about crafting and such...that is if you can find it amongst the 10+ pages heh
