I think there was a thread, don't think it had the name of it (wasn't really known back then).

Been keeping an eye on this for sometime, looks promising. But the prices are too high for my tastes. (for now at any rate)

Will probably get this when it comes out, but I expect to be disappointed (or bored), not sure why.

There is a thread but it's mostly about me saying how Braben is liar. New thread is a good choice imho.

Current version is Alpha 3. We'll hae to wait a bit for alpha 4 because it will unlock trading if I'm not mistaken.

I like the cockpit flying alot, also the combat doesnt look all that goofy tbh. Im just wondering how it will play.

The more, the better.

Nothing like competition to keep things interesting

Will probably get this when it's cheap (unless Starcitizen really sucks).

They are way ahead of start citizen with much smaller bugdet?

anyone know whats with movement visual effect in E:D, is that supposed to be space debris? I looks really unrealistic to me, I realise that its very possible that it is realistic since I haven't actually flown a spaceship at the speed of light.

Actually, their budget isn't that much smaller. Yes, they got only the portion of community backing compared to Star Citizen but Frontier Developments have external financing. Also they are working on Dangerous longer than CIG on Star Citizen. Frontier Developments team has over 200 people. CIG has more, but they just recently went into full production. Before it was mostly organizing phase and light development.

It is not space debris and it's not realistic. Rather fancy effect used by most cinematographers and is something most people connect with light speed.

I have yet to see something even vaguely realistic when it comes to visualizing lightspeed travel. And I'm not talking about the moment you have reached light speed at which point any kind of visualization is going to be silly. I'm talking about the deformation of what you see when you are close but below c.

usually that "light speed effect" has the blurred light from STARS.

the problem with E:D is that those lights appear to be mere metres away from the spaceship. it just looks like there is a bunch of floating lightbulbs outside your window. it irks me because objects that big and so close would destroy your ship and also because they cannot be stars so why are they glowing.

D:E seems to be going for ultra realism is so many other areas so it really puzzles me really badly


edit: and yeah I was interested to learn they make kinectimals and zoo tycoon lol. but actually it could mean in distant future when they do add planetside we could see some REALLY interesting alien life.

[Leshma]

Yeah, the reason why they won't implement landing on planets any time soon (at least not for another year) is because they want to make it interesting. They plan to create living world on the planets that mimics real thing, not just bunch of procedurally generated trees and buildings that repeat itself. Braben was talking about hunting animals, among other things
