To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Flagship

Pinback · 2014-05-26T11:21:25Z

Flagship bit of an odd one as it a RTS game played from a First person viewpoint and seeing that they have released a new trailer for the game it might be worth a peek for these of you who like this type of game.&nbsphttp://flagshipgame.com/?page=about FAQ from the website.What can I do do in the game?For the initial release of the game we're looking at exploration, resource management, galactic strategy and tactical ship-to-ship combat. Keeping the scope relatively small will allow us to really concentrate on these aspects of the game design. Our hope is that the game will sell well enough on initial release to allow us to expand the game into other areas. Can I play this without a VR headset?Absolutely, the game can be played on a normal monitor. The battles seem to be in 2D. Don't you know that space is 3D?The battles are fully three dimensional. The default setting for the map table is a top-down 2D view, which has possibly confused some people. We've chosen this as the default interface for two reasons; firstly because 2D interfaces are very easy to use, and secondly because your ships will automatically line up vertically to attack their targets. That being said, we know that having full three dimensional control is important to many people, and the map table will have a 3D mode that facilitates this. Will you be able to fly the smaller ships like fighters and bombers?Probably, yes. But we're not looking to compete with Star Citizen and it certainly won't be the focus of the game. It's also going to be hard to win a battle from the cockpit of a fighter, so make sure you have the upper hand before leaving the bridge! Will you be able to board enemy ships?It's likely you'll be able to send teams to board and capture ships, but it's probably not something you'll be doing yourself. This is something we may add after the initial release, but only if we can make it work in the greater context of the game. Will there be multiplayer?For now, Flagship is a single player game. We are excited by the possibilities offered by multiplayer though, so we'll be taking a serious look at adding it after the initial release. I want to give you money! Why aren't you doing early access?The game is currently in very early pre-alpha and we couldn't in good conscience accept money for it in its current state. However, once the game is more feature complete we'll proabably allow people to buy the game as an alpha. It's also quite likely we will put the game on Steam Early Access towards the end of development. What engine are you using?We're using Unity 3D. It's easily the most flexible game creation tool we've ever used and takes away most of the heavy lifting involved with 3D graphics programming. When will the game be finished?It's too early to say at the moment, sorry! All we can say that we're aiming for sometime in 2015.

What appealed me to this game was the bridge mechanics and they haven't dropped that so I think they are still safe for now. The fully explorable ships definitely would be a nice to have but I see where their coming from, creating all those places and making them functional takes a lot of time. I don't mind that flying the ships in battle is not included and should be a after release addition if the game does well. But a holiday release date is a decent goal, not sure I would release then because every other big producer likes to release then. But good advertising and videos can sell any game if done right during the holidays.

I kinda thought this was dead, the devs are still at it and working on mechanics it seems from those tweets. So I guess its still a ways off. Its a good concept and I hope they get it out, I think with them throwing in VR I think it will definitely increase development time.

If they had got something out 4 years ago then they would have had a unique game but others have caught up with them now.
