    We did manage to crash the server. They had limited it to one instance, and as more and more people got on, FPS dropped steadily. Finally, it crashed. That was our goal :)

    At the end of the test, we all gathered in the Beta Club. One look at the Beta Club will show you why this game is going to be better than City of Heroes.

    I believe you.

    But how do I look at it?

    The starter zone we were in was at least as big as the zones in City of Heroes. And being on a huge colony ship gives a lot of chances for other ships, planets to visit, and of course other zones on the same ship. When playing it, you don't feel like you are on a ship unless you go to the outer edges and look out into space.

    The zone we were in has forests, lakes, beaches, lots of buildings, etc.

    I think the plan is for the ship to travel to other planets, every few months or so. So there will be zones on the ship, other planets to visit, and other ships. I'm not a developer, so this isn't official or anything.

    That name is just far too close to Ship of Fools.  Just make up a name, like the GFS Wanderer, and use that as the name of the ship and game.  If they already have a name, that's half the work done.



    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    That's a pretty straightforward expansion plan.  Cycle in new content periodically, with periods where the game was confined to the ship.  It could be as clever as they chose -- an encounter with another ship with a couple of new zones, a star system with multiple planets, and each expansion could trigger a change in the base ship content to change up the basic on-ship experience.  An example: when leaving the planet, an outbreak of a super virus causes all opponents of type X to be 150% tougher for a period of RL time.  I'd love to see that, actually.

    I want to like this game, but the graphics are sooo 1999. Are these just bad screenshots? Do the animations and gameplay make up for graphics?

    A donation of $25 gets you into supporters Betas. This one is coming to an end though, if it hasn't already. Those who reach the goal get emails with information on how to download and access the Betas.

    When the game releases, there will be one or two city zones.  Depending on how many people sub, they plan on between 2 and 4 major updates a year.  Each update should include either a city zone or a planetfall.  Once we find a certain ******** we will have the ability to go to these planets at will, but that is one of the planned updates.  Until then the palnetfalls will be cyclical.  

    While the plans for villains are not set in stone, one popular plan is that villains get their own ship, the FHS Renegade (name is not set in stone either).  This ship has been taken over by the 'morally challenged' with many zones being all out battles with some remaining heroes and the Justice Corp for control.  After villains have caught up to the hero level cap, then a representative from Earth arrives and directs the FHS Justice to pursue the Renegade, and they both end up orbiting a large asteroid.  It turns out there is far more to this asteroid than appears, and heroes and villains are both fighting to control it, i.e. the initial PvP zone.

    That is the beauty of the game being on a starship.  The sky is not the limit as far as what you can do.  There is a lot of alien tech out there that we can find and use for the greater good, i.e. make our characters OP...  :)

    I have done a lore check: The "ship" is called 'FHS Justice', Federation Heroship Justice, the baulk of residents are not heroes though.

    On a previous thread one of the posters said "why can't we have different origins like mutants". All heroes are mutants or descend from a mutant lineage, this being a by product of the space drive.

    My favourite quote form the lore: "There are many alien species in space and some of them do not take the expansion of humans into the galaxy positively." I think that must have been written by Captain Diplomat. :)

    Graphics are a bit better than 1999.

    However, if you want to play an indy game then you are going to have to get used to things not be AAA.

    It's not hard. Maybe even think of it as a retro experience.

    Less funding equals less in the graphics department but I think anyone who played games in 1999 would laugh at the idea this was on a par with SoH.
