    Right, looks quite good...

    And according to FAQ it could be pure kill blow to EVE

    But so early in development....

    Another waporware ?

    Looks very good indeed. maybe finally some space mmorpg competition for EVE online?

    It will squash Eve if only for one reasion.... YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR DAM SHIP!

    Aparently they are shooting for the ability to walk inside space stations and ships.

    This one feature will likely ensure it stays a very very niche game:
    Newtonian Physics


    While I love realism and enjoyed Frontier MOST MMORPG players are NOT going to want to have to deal with force vectors and newtonian physics... YIKES!!!  Even though I like the realism using newtonian physics makes "game play" very challenging.

    Also makes me think this may be an First Person type game because in a 'point and click' driven game you wouldn't use them.





    Case in point... most people who played frontier used this philosophy:
    Get the biggest monster ship you can and just run enemies over with it.  Because trying to dogfight was next to impossible.


    And:  I know this is coming:
    Jumpgate is NOT Newtonian Physics... it's PARTIAL Newtonian Physics.  It's kiinda like "Newtonian Physics with MASSIVE drag factor" making it almost like atmospheric flight... but not quite.

    FPS Space games do best when they throw a little realism out the window and go with atmospheric flight models like the X-Wing games and Wing Commander games did in the 90's.

    That would be a nice mmorpg to try out. Hope it makes it to the Beta :)

    Very nice ships indeed, the engine is very impressive. It's pretty small-ship based though so kinda like vendetta-online or Jumpgate type thing.

    Only downside is that newtonian physics + lag = SPLAT!! 9 times out of 10

    We'll see though, certainly farther along than Infinity is though.

    They seem to be having issues with their web site's stability and connectivity.   Sounds like they are a real power house.   I'm sure CCP is pretty shaking in thier shoes.

    Im not having issues. And it does say on the site.

    Eve Online is a different type of game.  Apples and oranges.  You cant compare Eve to Emporium.  Eve has nothing to worry about. 
    Emperium is a twitch game, Eve is a point click game.

    Yeah, some of those look pretty cool...unlike the ships in EVE which look like antique dildos, choo-choo trains, and half-eaten loafs of french bread.

    I don't know if you guys have seen this game but it has some really excellent artwork as well...this is what EVE Online shoulda/coulda/woulda looked liked if they had any kind of talent in their art department!
