Interesting lighting effect you have in them pictures DarthStallker 😎

Are you using a more realistic lighting setup in the game ❓

What do you mean by "a more realistic lighting setup"?

Just asking, becouse in game we have many sourses of light, and the lights are differ in the different places at the game sectors.

I just wondering if you were using just one light source ie the light coming from just one direction.

Some great texture work on the ship and station models. Will the asteroids in the game be destructible?

No. As i said we have multi light source: big stars, the planet, lights from weapon flames, fire asteroids, ships and etc.

Yes we pay special attention for textures and effects.

No, it will not. We want to focus at spaceship battles at first 8)

Some more info about the game.

Looks cool, DarthStallker.

It makes sense for Russian developers to make a space MMO, since Russia is currently the only country that can send space ships to the international space station. 😉

How popular are space sim games in Russia?

Thank you for good words, Jabberwocky.

Yes, very many our players love the space and everything connected with it.

I think roots of it in the the well-known fact - in the USSR, almost all boys in childhood wanted to become cosmonauts.

If you haven`t seen Spaceship's Key Systems - well, do it now 😎

Here some new media for you.

Cool stuff for sure!

I'm looking forward to seeing some gameplay video - I never totally trust trailers and screenshots to be representative of the true quality of the game. 😉 But what you guys are showing so far looks great.

Some questions:

How far into development are you?

How big is your team?

Where are you going to host your servers?

I see on your website game modes like"Team Death Match" and "Capture The Sector". Is the game primarily a lobby-based PvP experience? If so, do you consider your game after the same audience as Black Prophecy? Do you have any thoughts on that game?

Personally I see the Star Conflict more like Combat Simulation System (CSiS) or Naumachia: Space Warfare (both under development). Which are lobby based games that are mainly matched based with a simple ranking system. Black Prophecy is different in the way it is a traditional MMO where you grind for levels and equipment and there isn't any match based gameplay to my knowledge.

Thanks!

Right now we are preparing cbt version, which want to start till the this year ends.

Not too big, about 20 people.

Not far from the place where will be main population of our users, to make the minimum ping.

As for the BP - I am agree with DarkOne, it is more like standart MMORPG game. And as i said before - cant to compare.

We have some similar moments from different games and we have many of original.

Meanwhile

Star Conflict FAQ has been updated. Now it has what developers answered to communitie's questions which we had gathered a week before. Star Gem's revealing more and more about the game.

That second pic is sweet. Is that an explosion that was absorbed by shields or a near miss?

This explosion - is a result of meeting big missile from small ship and big ship without shields.

It is our realisation of "physically-based shading" feature. We are planning to upgrade it in the future.

Amazing looking Dreadnaught Darthstalker, and as always the other three screenshots look great.

Star conflict looks something like World of warplanes in space.It will be play4free, something like WoT.There will be light medium and heavy fighters, frigates,interceptors, and even dreadnaughts that require a whole clan to control! For more information regarding Star Conflict, please check here

At last we have launched the CBT

Welcome!

PS

Damn nice trailer DarthStalker, if people already signup previously to be in beta do they need to do so again?

Thanx!

Nope, sooner or later they will get the access.

PS If anybody (future fans maybe 8) here want to get the access earlier - send me your email in the "messages".

Really cool. Your english was so good I was confused by the Russian in the video.. (didn't note your flag)

I do like a multi nationalism in MMOs really adds depth.
