Space Citizen
« on: October 15, 2012, 08:06:53 pm »
Some of you may have already heard of this upcoming space sim. It looks pretty great in my eyes, and I've already pledged money in support.

It also looks great in terms of its graphical fidelity. Have a look at the pitch video

Some additional info:
Quote
Is it PC exclusive? Yes.
Is there a single-player, Wing Commander-style campaign? Yes (that part's called Squadron 42).
Can my friends drop in and fly as my wingmen? Yes.
Does the story branch based on my actions? Yes.
Does it have a Privateer-style open universe with a trade economy? Yes.
Is the economy dynamic? Yes.
Can I skip the single-player campaign and jump right into that part? Yes.
Is there a free, massively multiplayer persistent online universe? Yes.
Will that universe constantly expand with new content? Yes.
Can I play offline? Yes.
Can I host my own server for me and my friends? Yes.
Are there real zero-G physics? Yes.
Can my friends and I crew a ship together, with one piloting and others manning guns? Yes.
Can I have 64 or more players in one area? Yes (and that's the bare minimum he's shooting for).
Can I mod it? Yes.
Can I pilot a carrier starship? Yes (but probably not in the persistent online universe).
Can I have a medium-sized ship with a single launchable fighter aboard? Yes.
Can I get out of my ship and shoot people in first- or third-person combat? Yes.

A gamepad? Yes.
A joystick? Yes.
Will it support Oculus Rift? Yes.
Will it take user-created content (ships, etc) and sell it, splitting revenue with creators? Yes.

All of that sounds really awesome. I didn't expect there to also be FPS and hijacking elements. My only worry is that it'll be overcomplicated and too realistic, with entire keyboard worth of keys to remember and use. :S
