I think this kind of ebb and flow is normal. There was the initial announcement which generated good hype, now things will probably simmer until EA. It's a normal cycle. Even Discord has slowed down, but that's okay. As long as Frozenbyte keeps communicating, keeps posting some content tidbits...

It looks like you have twice the likes I do which means you're half the shitposter please keep posting ty god bless

Yeah I'm sure it wasn't even a secondary consideration when they want to tap one of the largest and most profitable gaming markets in the world and wanted to do so without having to maintain two iterations of the same game. Your forum signature is kind of just irony for your posting at this...

They're not designed for avoidance though, they're designed to soak as much damage as possible from every angle, without presenting a weakspot and equally protecting all the vital systems. They're flying bunkers, basically. :D

Hidden goal: Making player-characters robots instead of people makes the game infinitely easier to sell in China without localization.

IMO unless the devs implement an in-game system otherwise, you can expect SB to end up like SE, Empyrion, and other games: where the most efficient PVP ships are cubes. Pretty/aesthetic ships really won't have a place in PVP unless FrozenByte gives them a reason to be made that way. I know there...

This isn't entirely accurate. The MMO servers are still a dedicated host, and they have to be located somewhere. Hopefully with datacenters on NA, EU, and maybe Oceania for our friends there. The devs have already said the game isn't purely hosted on a p2p system. However, if it turns out what...

A freeport would be possible if you had the muscle to defend it -- there were a couple famous freeports in nullsec (sovereign player space) in EVE for awhile, but mostly because the owner was very popular, and had the backing of a bunch of large alliances that would protect his station. If you...

Yeah, I'm aware of the pitch. Enter EVE 2003 -- literally the same thing. If you think a couple default factions, even if lead by a dev, are going to end in anything but hilarity and tears pretty much from the onset, boy do I have news for you lol It's a completely valid comparison because...

Empire and Kingdom will probably run similarly to NPC/default corps in EVE -- as in they won't function at all for any real purpose. Most of the player orgs will split off as soon as possible and won't look back. Empire/Kingdom won't work as a functioning empire for a LOT of reasons. Relying on...

Attitudes like this are why games die tbh. If you don't cater to your solo, new, and small group players to some degree, your game dries up. The few dozen hardcore fans posting on the forums here shouldn't give you a false impression of how the game should logically develop and hopefully the...

$39.99 seems solid, but I wouldn't mind paying $59.99 or something for a Collector's Edition with some cosmetics and stuff though to support the game.

Probably. Most of our ships in ATLAS had unique names but that was always mine. I think I finally got sunk after a few months of murder. get it murder

CAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAWCAW is what I've always named my ships in EVE, and probably will here too because goons travel in groups and

At this point, gassing this thread is probably a mercy, since it's mostly edgelords going back and forth about theoretically pirating or not pirating in a game that isn't out and no one can play yet.
