Well, there are the answers to the questions, that were asked. This topic is for posting questions and I will answer themhere.

- How many missions are there in the game?

- What the planetary missions concern, how many times do you actually go down on a planet to fight it out and can you land on them whenever you like or is this also lineair?

- On planets do you get out of your ship and are free to walk around?

- How does advancement take place, will you get higher in level and be able to buy some better stuff or do you get it automatically? Do you gain medals also?

- Are there different difficulty settings or is there some kind of choice between arcade and sim?

- Do you always get to fly the same ship and upgrade it during the course of the game or do you get to fly different ships?

- If there are different ships that the player can use, do they all feel the same in term of flying?

- When your ship gets upgraded (if that's the case) then will you see it visually?

- Can you explain something more on the missions the player gets involved in, meaning are there varied types of missions such and search & destroy, escort missions, etc.?

- How many systems does the player get to visit during the course of the game?

- Do you usually get to fly alone or always with wingmen?

- What kind of weapons are there in the game?

- Is there really no freedom in the game in terms of gameplay or do you have the option to choose which mission you prefer to do next?

- Will there be an SDK available so users get to create there own missions, story?

- Will hostile NPC's taunt you?

- Do you also get to dock in capital ships, space stations, etc?

- When can we expect a new trailer?

- Will there be add-ons or sequels?



1. 34 missions
2. You can land whenever and wherever you want excluding the poles
3. No, you can't go out your ship.
4. There are no medals and no character advancement, you just get new ships and new uberweapons.

6. There are different ships and they differ in terms of flying.
7. There are about 20 star systems
8. Well there are missions where you fly alone and there are missions where you fly with a wingman.
9. There are three types of weapon: power/kinetic/missile
10. Well the game is linear, but you can make about 10 non-obligatory quests at a mission.
11. There are no mission editor inside the game, but the format is open and the scrypts are vey simple, so it's easy to get into it.
12. As for docks, the answer is yes.
13. As for new trailers, we can't give you the date when it's going to be out, we will inform you about it as soon as possible.

Greetings!

This game looks very interesting and I look forward to it, but I was wondering, will there be any multi-player components in this game?

Thank you.

Good question, how could I forget to ask about multiplayer :oops: :wink:

Evgeny
10-11-2007, 05:32 AM
Wel, there is a multiplayer, it's represented as a deathmatch.

Thank you for your question.

LtJamesWatts
10-11-2007, 08:36 AM
Oh I see, so each for their own then.
Too bad because I think it would have been more fun if we could play with friends a team deathmatch or play in a persistent universe in MP as with Freelancer.
Well you know the deal, trade, fight, create our own groups of fighters, mercenaries, guilds.

Thx for replying so quickly though :)

LtJamesWatts

Got another question :)

Since the release date is now set to Spring 2008, will the devs only convert the game to English or are they also working in the meantime on fixes and stuff to add?

Evgeny
10-16-2007, 06:07 AM
Well, the gameplay will stay the same, it's just the translation.

LtJamesWatts
10-16-2007, 07:57 AM

Thx once again for taking the time to answer my question :wink:

Hi people, just entered in the forum. Hi LtJamesWatts, we know from the Spaceforce forum...

As only "real"-spacesim player and modder I'm realy excited by this game. From what I've seen (watched all the videos and pics around the web..:-P) ... finally a good space game that is completed with all realistic features, expecially the procedural planets!!!:!:

Can'wait up to next year (Europe's release)! ... since I'm even prepared to learn russion for playing it ... :lol:...:

1) is there a RUSSIAN DEMO to download somewhere?

2) What about Starrush, is it a spinoff of your game? a free-roaming space game made with your engine must be a superb one !!

3) if not, are there projects ot modify TW (add-ons, patches, other) into such a game (mean, Elite kind)?

Thanks,

Blackstar

Thank you for your question.

Deathmatch? :confused:

And what about cooperative?. Deatmatch gameplay is boring, it could be much better to play the main campaign with your friends cooepratively. What happens to develpers with cooperative?.

Will this run on Win2000? Hopefully you have not coded any XP specific low level calls....

Perhaps we might NOW have a true EU launching date?

Just to know so that we can be ready for the tomorrow war when it'll arrive.

I got another question guys.

In some of the screenshots I saw that you can talk to people on bases(?), how does this work?
I mean do you point and click like in an adventure game or do you walk around in first/third person and just walk up to the one you want to talk to?

Thx.

You just come up to the NPC and click on him and the talk begins.

LtJamesWatts
04-27-2009, 09:05 AM
Oh so it works automatically that you walk up to the NPC and then just click on him/her to talk?

What do you mean by "automatically"?

LtJamesWatts
04-27-2009, 09:18 AM
What I mean with that is that you don't control your character yourself, like with WASD i.e.

You are almost right, you choose a NPC with the mouse, and the hero comes to him.

LtJamesWatts
04-27-2009, 09:33 AM
I see, well that's nice too.
Thx for your time Nike-it :)

Keeping my fingers crossed now that I can soon get my hands on the game cause I'm very much looking forward to it ;)
