This so looks like Aquanox. Loved that game, never got to playing Elite though. Worth trying once it's out I guess.

I have to say this is all pretty impressive looking, and I'm not someone who's normally into this style of game. I wonder how much pressure the Star Citizen people are feeling seeing what this other team has done with fewer resources?

So far they are knocking it out of the fucking park.

Is this an MMO? A single player game? A multiplayer game you play with friends? Is it single universe you play through and a single player while inviting people into your world to play?

Found this on the Kickstart page: And the best part - you can do all this online with your friends, or other "Elite" pilots like yourself, or even alone. The choice is yours... So co-op. EDIT: Also saw this: Multiplayer: you will be able to control who else you might encounter in your game – perhaps limit it to just your friends? Cooperate on adventures or chase your friends down to get that booty. The game will work in a seamless, lobby-less way, with the ability to rendezvous with friends as you choose. This technology is already working, using a combination of peer-to-peer (to reduce lag) and server connections. |

But there is going to be PvP and piracy, that's for certain, so the whole thing is quite vague still. Maybe that's a department where they are still very weak and prefer not to expose to the public what could be severe limitations. Anyway, I don't think it can be considered an MMO (although World of Tanks apparently counts as one....)

From what I understand, people would host their own servers. That makes both pvp and co-op possible and the scale would depend on how many people you let into your universe.

Preordered.
None of the crazy beta packages, but preordered. From what I can see it's already worth what they're asking.

I said fuck it and got the premium beta, and ordered myself a flight stick with throttle. Just playing around with the combat module with a mouse and keyboard was fantastic. I can't wait till I have a good stick to use. I've been wanting a good joystick for a while for a few other games so I killed several birds with one stone.

It's almost like star citizen felt threatened by another space game that got only a small amount of money but has managed to actually deliver on promises instead of fucking around and so they are dropping their hugely delayed small component one day ahead of elite dangerous.

I can't even imagine how much fun I am going to have with the premium beta. I have been playing the combat scenarios endlessly. The flight physics feel so good, playing this with a stick is so rewarding.

Rather than retitle this "Elite: Not Star Citizen", I did the right thing and retitled the Cariss Rubberts thread. For my own benefit.

I have Star Citizen access but I have not been paying attention to that game at all other than this thread and larger media attention it's gotten. I'm just started paying attention to this thread. I won't be dropping $150 on it but I do want to see what kind of sticks people are getting. I haven't used a flight sim stick since the 90s. What kind of stuff would people suggest getting? edit: watching this now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceOdOytgT64 |

Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS X. It's entry level but works really well. Got it for 50 bucks. The next hands on throttle type controller is from Saitek and jumps up to 160 bucks. I just wasn't comfortable spending that much on a stick I am sure is going to get beaten up while I relearn how to play with a joystick.
If this game ends up being everything I want and Star Citizen also turns out good then I will end up getting a much nicer controller when this one wears out.

Godsdammit! Resisting urge to spend a ton on the Premium Beta access. Oh for the days before kids when I had disposable funds and would have been more than happy taking a risk on it!  |

I'm guessing that 'Premium' in there means you can pay to play ?

Just asking.

I had no idea this was so close to being playable.
As I'm too lazy to do my own research, someone tell me please which spaceship game I should take an interest in, this or Star Citizen? I'm guessing this, based on that video DraconianOne posted.

Palmer, Star Citizen have a much much larger scope than Elite, so even if they were both ready tomorrow I am not sure they would overlap. That said, Elite is playable and it rocks, so it's safe to say it will be out for the masses in a year at worst. Star Citizen in my opinion won't be close to have half its features ready in less than two years, so I'd say Elite for 2014 and 2015, Star Citizen if it doesn't implode for 2016. |
