@Alith: As an ex Tie Fighter Junkie I can relate, I love EVE but the pointing and combat are like old school naval combat in 3d and not fast paced space flight sim combat.

I'm really interested in this but I have high standards and I don't know if it's going to meet them.

Might be good; the MMO part just seems unnecessary though. I've never played one where the combat was tighter or more precise than regular multiplayer.
And honestly, how much variety is an MMO going to provide to a space-flight game? EvE tries like hell, and it still gets pretty bland after a week or so.

I just want a decent Star Wars space MMOShooter with X-Wing/Tie Fighter mechanics. I'd go out and buy a joystick and everything... I loved Tie Fighter. ;(

I want a Babylon 5 ship-based MMO. I'd pay good money for that. =/

An interesting dichtomy springs up now. Do I take the path of the Scholar and descend back into EVE or the path of the Warrior and blast headfirst into this...
Better get both. Just to be safe ^_^

@iameleveneight:

The difference between Jumpgate and EVE is that Jumpgate is not dice rolling. The combat is twitch based. In the end, what matters is your mastery of your ship and your aim, not some numbers.

@mariospants: Actually I was thinking about this very thing the other day, but then I realised that Apple seem to to a very good job of keeping their big announcements fairly quiet. Or maybe no one cares about Apple's announcements so no one tries to seek out the exclusive news.

I beta tested the first Jumpgate and it wasn't great. The huge (think assaulting the death star huge) space battles were pretty cool, but that was about it.

@WoodyNvincible: I've been drooling over The Agency since it was first announced.

Me want.

WoodyNvincible — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 09:03:54 MST

I like console-type MMOs. That's why FFXI consumed me for nearly four years. This seems pretty cool, but again I hate clicking mouse button one repeatedly to fight or auto attacking while I eat a sandwich.

Can't wait for the Agency :D

SWG? So you want a crappy game that started out as crap and then revamped into more crap?

Is it wrong to be more excited about Lego Universe than about this?

iameleveneight — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 08:59:19 MST

So wait. Is this another mmo where you just play as a ship? Thats what makes EVE a snore and this is waste of my time then as well.

No thanks. I want a game like SWG where I can play on the ground AND in space if I choose.

I've been kind of on the fence about this one for a while. NetDevil -has- done some good work, but they've also done some less-than-stellar work. I'm looking at you, Auto Assault.
