KnighteStar Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 This, to me, seems like something that should either come in at 2.5 (obviously a midway landmark) or 3.0 for the next expansion. Maybe it'll just be 3.0. My thoughts on this expansion would be that the open space areas (without any planets) would be the primary expansion whilst there will be some missions added to planets for some space battles. Or maybe the ones from 1-50 on planets will be just FPs. When we reach 55, the next thing you play is one more planet and some huge space PvE conflict with continued PvP arenas with it, which will continue throughout the 1-60.

MisterBlackJack Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) I watched it 3 times and Ive seen nothing in there that suggests this is not on rials like what we currently have. I am certainly going to put any hope on hold until more info is released. there is a ton of things we know that suggests its off rails 1) The jerkness of the camera follows the ship. Strongly suggest its off rails and instead free flying 2) When Erik Musco was asked about when are we going to see off rails at the cantina he responded "Look in your thumb drive" Source: http://ootinicast.com/2013/09/community-cantina-seattle-31-august-2013/ 3) there are a ton of datamined info to suggest that its free moving space combat and also that it will have alot of space pvp aspects to it.

MisterBlackJack Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Maybe im a dreamer, but that looks like a PvP Arena. Space PvP could bring really a lot of people back to the game. Your dream will soon be reality. Datamined info about space project suggests it will heavily involve pvp This was the data that was gather buy people over at reddit Edited September 2, 2013 by MisterBlackJack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomAxe Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Been here from launch and tried Space Mission exactly once(and that is no exaggeration)! I will absolutely be giving it another shot if this is the case! I was also an EvE Online player for 4Yrs, so space Pvp is nothing new to me!

DarthAeonis Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 It occurred to me: we're going to need a new name for this. We can't call it the Super Secret Space Project anymore... SHSP = Super Hyped Space Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urukuru Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Thus the ranks of our own ships will be useless for this, just another warzone type game mode, probably restricted to 8v8 if not 4v4. Only 3v3 appears on the teaser... no full scale space battles as the voice dares to comment. Still the engine issue I suppose. What a shame...

Ayla-Sacura Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I would like to see them release some longer video showing some basic early features etc so that we kinda get example and insight of what are they developing and give feedback. Once they finish it, it will be too late for any kind of major changes in my opinion. Furthermore its not like they don't have anything to show, they have been developing SSSP for 1.5+ years, it should be in pretty much *advanced* state now. I hope they (Bioware) are reading forums, there have been dozens of good suggestions about SSSP in various threads which they should take up for consideration. SSSP could be game changer in a positive way if handled well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a shame... well actually when the ships exit lightspeed I counted 7 to appear on one side alone. now that doesn't really say much for the actual gameplay as it was too short. but the pub side has 4 against the imps 3 when they were squaring off.

Its too early to know anything for sure....fluffy wookie you just saw few seconds of a teaser, its called *teaser* for a reason, maybe they don't want you to see all cards they have just yet. ^^ It could as well be just one space warzone coming along with rest of SSSP, or whole SSSP could end up being one pvp warzone which would suck.

Slurmez Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 All swtor do is overhype let the playerbases imagination run away with them then turn around and go "well we didnt say it was going to be like that" Given that these are the people who thought Starfox would fullfil star wars fans lust for space combat Im doubtful this will be anything good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 This is one of the reasons I was of the opinion that they should wait until just before the feature was ready to drop on PTS. This thread stands in evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieIsshe Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Well, I said it would never happen, and it seems I was wrong, I'm man enough to admit that. However, the fanboys in here are already so excited if they fart they will jump to lightspeed themselves, so if I may I offer some sage words of advice... Check your expectations. Now I'm not saying that SSSP will be bad, what I'm saying is that too many people are already blowing it WAY out of proportion on the basis of this very limited clip (given some of the comments here and on YouTube), to the point that it can only be a disappointment when it finally does launch (and we've been there before) It's a terrible thing, but a pessimist is never disappointed.

AlrikFassbauer Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 You already use the mouse for that. Joystick is dead now. No-one uses that anymore, and no-one does flight sims anymore as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirorx Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Just to keep this grounded in pragmatism..... You guys never learn. It was a fragment of content, designed to demonstrate the project is alive and presented so as to wet appetite. Nothing more, nothing less. UNTIL it's on PTS to actually kick, squeeze, and complain about..... best to all chillax.. lest you get yourselves so worked up with projected inflation of expectations that you melt down when you see the real thing. Sorry for the buzz kill. I just wanted it on record for when it releases and people complain it did not meet their self-inflicted expectations. Agreed The arguments here are identical to the ones prior to the games initial release when they first showed space gameplay footage It's too bad that the old forums are deleted, I would love to just link these guys to those old arguments Relax until the update comes out and just be glad they are working on something to improve space combat Edited September 2, 2013 by kirorx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izorii Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I just hope we can get a **** pit view and use a joystick not just the behind the ship view and a mouse. I always feel more engaged and part of the action when I see the cockpit and not the back of my ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicKat Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 It's a video, chill people. Looks like it's about 98% cutscene with a few seconds of gameplay-ish combat thrown in. That gameplay could be anything from X-Wing vs TIE Fighter clone to exactly what we have now with better graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 For it to be worth the hype they have to go the full way and allow the use of a joy stick and offer the same sort of flight sim JTL did. Anything less and they will be setting themselves up for backlash when the reality doesn't live up to the hype and we get a slight upgrade on the flight system they already have which very very few people play.
