What is there to discuss?

[Necrobane]

Please put up a short vid or some actual ingame screenshots so that we have something to talk about ;)

[Ellyidol]

+1 here.

I'd love to see a teaser video to see how actual game play is like. :)

[Necrobane]

Theres a couple vids on youtube, but im sure it was originaly going to be a computer mmo due to the graphics and ui. Only makes me more interested :(

Oh! I'll search it :)

Ahhhh I probably won't do a PC MMO. That was the beauty of PL, I could go anywhere. Lol

[Kossi]

i love how they led us to the blackstar forums...same on pl forums

[Justg]

This will be a mobile MMO. The vids that are currently out are for the older PC version. We will be releasing the ground portion first, on iOS and Android. Space _may_ follow.

Oh dang. Is PL gonna be like the elder child and there's a new baby? :(

[Lesrider]

Ground portion appeals to me more anyway :)

I'm absolutely terrible at space combat, so this suits me just fine. If it ever gets added, it'll give you guys another game to avoid me like the plague on. :p

[noobmigo]

Me no like flying ships, but ground=epic.
Is there going to be pvp?
And In the ground version, I didn't see many people walking around like in PL.

[Junside]

I'm wondering how epic the SpaceTime Engine is. o_o

[noobmigo]

oh and will this slow the PL servers

[JoeD4]

I for one would love some sort of RPG that incorporates space flight (or any flight for that matter). strategy and tactics/movement take on a whole new dimension when you add that 3D element. Would be epic if it took place in real time in the same sky as the ground content. Imagine fighting a boss encounter with half the party on the ground and the other half in the air!

I completely agree. I hope this game offers something different then PL.

If this is just "Pocket Legends... IN SPACE!" I'm probably not going to be as interested. It needs to be its own game with its own mechanics, at least as far as the underlying game engine will allow.

Haha, I got a pretty good little motto for BlackStar :p:
BlackStar, Alien Oasis all over again.

Keep in mind, folks...these vids are APPARENTLY from 2008, so they've had time to polish the sh!t out of this.

[icantgetkills]

i hope that PL still gets frequent updates as i have spent alot of dough and there is still so much to do maybe its time for more staff :D

[Phoenixking]

Actually pl is the younger sibling of star but mobile mmo-wise pl has been first made and introduced to ios/andriod for a 3d mmo now im glad theres another 3d mmorpg

[BlueMagma]

I thought the Galactic Overlord was an epic boss.
Nope.
BlackStar just raised the bar... x10,000,000.

Definitely agree with you.

[Zuras]

Arrggghh!! Another cool game that will drain my battery! Nooo!! lol

[Rebel]

This game looks much more complex than PL with A LOT more depth. Looks great!

[Arterra]

Space _may_ follow.

just saying, with no space, no point... going to need a way to make it work, it is the main selling point.

[Justg]

Arterra, SWG rocked for years without Space, then we came out with Jump to Lightspeed. It will be just fine :)

[Conradin]

hey i would im going to love this game!! Justg, will their be pvp in this game?

good point i suppose. i guess to new players to STS it will sell perfectly well. however, PL being more advanced, a repetition of ground based battles would need serious new features to lure out those with cap level characters already on PL.

SWG rocked for years UNTIL space!

p.s. SWG, greatest game ever made, period.

[Cassric]

...and we'll definitely be posting videos and screens soon. Game is still in development, so we just want to make sure that what you see and hear is an accurate reflection of the game you'll be playing... takes a little time :)

[Pharcyde]

I hope you guys consider making this for the PC. It looks like it has so much potential, I have gotten really bored with all the Mobile stuff and gone back to the PC. I pre ordered rift because it sounds like my type of game, a MMO based on a constantly randomizing environment. But Si-Fi MMO's have always been my favorite and this looks amazing, I would buy this for PC in a heart beat, the Mobile version I'm quite bleh considering it wont live up to its full potential due to the mobile limitations.

[longsteak]

Wait what did the dev mean by "space_will_follow"?

[Zojak]

Wait what did the dev mean by "space_will_follow"?

He means that to start off with, the game will be a ground focused game, but later on they will introduce ships and space combat/quests
