  • New Preview at Gamespy

    Just wanted to post this here for you folks that dont like wading through the IG forum. Sorry, but I dont know how to make the link work, so you may have to cut and paste it:



    This is the quote that makes me happiest:

    "Multiplayer is deep, full of political backstabbing, and is downright fun."

    Soon folks, soon!

            We already know there is no PBEM.

            At least I knew.

            Damn boy.

              PBEM has *never* been in, ever since they decided upon RT combat a few years ago!

                Yes they turned off PBEM and hotseat because of the RT combat. A pity in my opinion.

                  Woah....



                  Check out the systems with lowercase names -- outposts?? Just like MOO2, or the ability to rename star-systems is back?

                  I doubt a system name would just automatically be lowercase --

                    hmm I agree, outpost.

                    Having never played the demo... and knowing you can rename...


                    It would be kind of nice if you could claim a system as yours simply by maintaining a ship or something in it. Then suffer diplomatic tensions between people who violate airspace, etc in that area.

                    I like to change the subject.

                      I had seen that in some earlier screens from a different preview adn was wondering about that. Outposts is a good bet.

                      Now can you tell me what the little blue-white snowball looking thing to the right of the ship is?

                        The author of it sayd it's 98% done... Considering they are already making it for 4 years the left 2 percent is still roundabout 30 days...

                          Somehow teh Senate reminds strongly of Twilight Imperium (The Boardgame)?

                          In multiplayer games, diplomacy becomes even more of a critical issue as you simply never know what a human player is going to do.
                          nah peace till they reach 20 Ships then they Backstab me as always :P

                            All things equal, it has to bee good news that Gamepsy had an MP build in their hands.

                              He said at the end of the article, it should be ready by the end of the month.

                              ACK!
