Title: Entropy, space sim MMO
Post by: Ginaz on January 22, 2014, 03:40:18 AM
I was browsing Steam a bit and came across Entropy, an early access space sim MMO.  It looks like a cross between Freelancer, STO and EVE (minus the open pvp).  Has anyone tried this or know anything about it?

Hm. My usual space sim news sites have nothing on it, which is... unusual. Let me ping a guy on Broken Forum.

EDIT: Nope, wait, Brian Rubin does. There's not much there, though...

From the developers of Battlestar Galactica Online (which we all played... right?) - so not holding out much hope.

I didn't bother with BSGO because Fantasy Flight's boardgame captured the actual point of the show.

No cockpit view? Or did it just not jump out at me with 45 seconds of searching?

And why can't the guys running that Freespace 2 thing put that on Steam? Do some major updates, it already had multiplayer, already looked gorgeous and stuff, and it still is a high water mark for space combat well over a decade later. I'd even break my policy against paying for incomplete things if they put it on Steam and announced they were 75% from whatevertheirdevelopmentgoal is.

I don't see any PVE, looks like a PVP gankfest.  Will monitor but not currently interested unless I can turn my PVP flag off.
