ELLO! I must say this one: This is my first and ONLY game that i bought. Its the only one that deserve it. The people that makes game with so much attention, love, precision and dedication really deserve it. Now, lets get to the point. I got few Q and would appreciate answers  

1. Campaign would consist from two modes/views.
     First one would be "strategic" view where we see our and any other fleet like single ship. In this view we travel through system jump to other system etc. All in real time right?
     Second one would be "battle" view and that one is what we have today in missions.

So game would be like Heroes of might and magic 1/2/3/4/5/6 but in real time, right?

2. Would "world" go with his own business regardless of player action? To put it simple, player isn't 1 man empire who shape entire sector he IS 1 little part of it and his decisions can make difference piece by piece?  

3. Will there be some major conflict?

4. Will it be possible for player to engage battle that has been already started? I think this will be difficult.Hmmm, let see.. How much battle last with autocombat or between 2 AI players? If they are over in instant then its impossible but if they last 30 sec or more then it is possible

5. Will there be some kind pirte/mercenary outpost from where they will spawn and where they will return at the end of the day? Outpost that they will upgraded so its become bigger after lots  successful looting? And then they can get bigger ships and better weapons etc. Or something like that?


Agh look at time i must go but if something drop on my mind again ill bug you more

1) I believe the Campaign will be free roam so it should include both of those You get to fly to different planets etc and fight enemies in combat

2) I believe this is likely but you'll have to get Alex to confirm this as I'm not sure

3) More than likely lol a game is nothing without mass conflict xD

4) Not sure on that one, await Alex's reply? Would be nice though

5) More than likely Other wise the game would end pretty quick


Feel free to bug us ^.^ Here to help in any way we can

Aghhh, my poor English... Let me try again.

What i read about it would be like Space Rangers but when you come to combat it will turn into view we have in missions today and when combat ends it will turn into SR view again.  

Feel free to bug us ^.^ Here to help in any way we can

Dude newer ever say something like that to me   Ever!  


And now let see if i can update my first post.YEY I DID IT!!!

Hmm not sure then lol
And dude feel free to bug me xD Message me or whatever, I honestly do not mind

I also wonder if the starmap / whatever view will be in real-time, but it wouldn't bug me if it was turn based either to be honest.
I just hope it is more deep than Gratuitious Space Battles, because that's essentially just "hop to planet, fight, hop to planet, fight". Could just as well just be a mission list in the menu then. (like it was before that expansion too).

But some space version of Heroes of Might & Magic or less complex version of Distant Worlds, would be awesome. Just a world that is actually "living" and "doing stuff", with the player interacting and messing stuff up for the rest of the galaxy. As opposed to just an empty starmap that is essentially just a graphical mission select screen.

Some valid questions you got there arcibalde, something I've been wondering about myself.

But I'm sure it will be awesome either way, been following the progress for a couple of months (I have yet to buy the game though!) and I'm sure we will be pleased with  whatever Alex throws at us.

[arcibalde]

HEY!  Why is my first post edited and now there is no more questions about weapon slots

[Ivaylo]

Everything (combat and system map) is in real time, but of course you can still pause whenever you wish.

[icepick37]

Oooooo all real time sounds so coooooool.

Thats something ive been asking myself alot and would love to hear an answer.

Best news ever.

Question for the OP... So the first and ONLY game that you've bought, huh? That only brings me to two conclusions:

1. Starfarer is simply such an amazing game that it spoke out to you and pulled you off your ugly athletic ways and life filled with healthy food, lots of sex and active sports. You simply couldn't resist its lure and now you're one of us, space commanders, enjoying his very own seat upon the biggest badassest hunka-dunkaest murderousest ships the space combat on PC has ever seen... ooooor

2. You are a (space) pirate yourself! Copying any game you lay your eye on and never feel obligated to pay the people for years of hard work because you don't deem them worthy! Which I'd be inclined to believe, since you've mentioned Heroes of Might and Magic in your post

In any case, glad you're enjoying the game. I used to be a pirate myself when I was 12... all the way till I was like 18, then I started buying games, I didn't have to play everything that came out any more, my taste refined, so I could afford those few I really appreciated and I still do. I even pay for titles now sometimes that I had used to play before I started making money, they are cheaper now of course, but I still feel obligated to give the creators something for hours I've spent with their products, especially games that I've played through multiple times and really enjoyed

PS: Upsss, sorry, it's gone a lot off-topic. So to the topic, real time on battlefield AND starmap? I've expected a kind of starmap that was in SPAZ (where nothing really happens on the map, until you jump to another planet/system, which counts as a turn pretty much). I must say this is some interesting news, I'm looking forward to seeing it in action. Btw, is there gonna be 0.5 soon? Pretty pleaaaaaaaaase, I can't wait!
