Miner Wars
« on: January 30, 2012, 08:43:02 PM »
I did a search and nothing came up, i am suprised. I am digging this game, it looks like the ultimate cure to my space sim and descent fever. Anyone else excited? as for the MMO version, it would be cool, but id have to check out the real game first before making any descisions.

as for the uninitiated, this game is a 6dof open space sim with full destructibility of everything, hueg asteroids (also destructible), customizable ships, mining, fuel air electricity ammo ore and equipment are non infinite, and up to 300 ships in the same area. also radar jammers, autocannons, missiles, big ships, space stations, turrets...

WANT!

This project came blowing through the Descent community a while back. I'll be impressed when they have BETA versions to play. In my opinion, they have a great idea, but they're drumming up too much publicity before they have anything substantial to show.

From their site it appears they have made a fair bit of Alpha progress and the game is playable.  Their feature list is ambitious, but having access to tweak and customise the game engine directly is a HUGE advantage that most mod-based teams don't get.
 
I'm very tempted to buy into the pre-alpha because I freakin' LOVED some Descent 1/2/3/Mercenary and Freespace.

I'll just wait until they have a playable game. Or is this alpha already open to the masses?

I would buy in if I didn't feel like this is going to follow in the steps of Minecraft with no real strong aspect of gameplay.
It looks encouraging enough but the need to flesh out the MINING aspect or the WARFARE aspect or the SIM aspect.
Not just toss in mining possibilities, warfare, or sim gameplay.
So even though its not much now I would like to see a working build to have the confidence to actually play it and enjoy it.
I will break out my joystick this weekend though and start in on Freespace 2 since I haven't finished that.

There's a setup in the downloads section, not sure what's included there, but you'll have to be registered in order to play I think...

If registered, you can access the far more updated test build and editor, where you can fly around to your hearts content while not really doing anything. if otherwise, i believe its just demo mode. the editor seems nuts though.

DUDE, I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AT ALL> But just the other night I was thinking there should be a game along the same lines.  I was thinking a little more RTS with action elements, but I think I need to check this out. ;D ;D ;D

When talking about space based 4X games, you're talking about my heroin.

Which I love almost as much as the heroin I take.
