If I can mine, trade, explore and stuff like that, I'll probably try it out.

Vid interview from the GC

5 nations of which 3 are playable (how lame is that? i mean you will always want to fly the unaccessible cooler not playable ship, they are shooting themselves in their foot with that:wacko:)


seems like the game will be PVP oriented but the HP says:

Do you long for the thrill of combat or do you prefer the call of merchant - always on the look out for a quick, opportune trade.

well honestly from all the presentation i've seen i don't think this will make it in the game. especially since the dude in the vid said they want to make it feel like an FPS... ok Freelancer is that way i admit, but then again it features a lot more than what JE has to offer on its features list right now.

but let's wait and see...

I've been trawling the site and preview etc. and so far it looks like a very focused space fps. :(

The 'Twitch' techology where you can swing and fire in the opposite direction instantly etc. - it's all very pvp based.

Should be a lot of fun for uber pwnzors.

I hope it is a pleasant surprize in the end though.

I signed up for the beta but never got the game.

After a few rewiews I dont particularly wish to play though.

System requirements for the game?

[Lupusy]

i dont think they have pilotable cap ships (they are working on it as a possibility only)

i dont think they are a big enough jump ahead of Discovery to really justify a change or paying per month

(i culd be wrong but ive read their wikipedia and maybe a review or 2)

Looks pretty cool in my opinion especially how there are no dice rolls to see if you hit. Im looking at you eve. And Jazz, just because they didnt imediatly email you doesnt mean that they are not going to. I got into the 'Pirates of the Burning Sea' and 'Age of Conan' betas months before they came out but i didn't get invited in till months (maybe 4) after i had sent in an application. Just wait till they start stress testing the servers (how many people they can hold) this will only be about a month before the release date but your almost sure to get an invite for that.

Check it out, it looks awesome

JGE is basically a twitch based combat system, similar to Freelancer, but with an MMO.

I have high hopes that this will be really good

If you ask me, I'm looking forward to Infinity more.
Especially because it's not done by a moneymongering commercial company, and is 100% orientated towards player feedback.
And furthermore, it'll be RP orientated.
A highly advanced version of Freelancer, basically.

RP is for me, not PvP.

I actually like to play my space games sitting back in my nice comfy captain's chair, rather than leaning over the controls of my fighter, spastically jerking the controls back and forth to prevent my demise and ensure the demise of those who oppose me.

JGE looks a little too PvP oriented, as all games are nowadays.
Really, RP isn't something that you market in a game. It's PvP.

RP is what develops when the playerbase gets bored with pointless PvP and wants something a little more rewarding than the senseless random shooting of people who wander into your path.


And when it comes to RP, Disco, I think, is the best.


End.
