Yeah, me.If it´s good I will probably play it in a serious clan, or "Crew" (I really hope that "Professional" crews will form up manning ships etc.)

Berenger you may be a spazzing weirdo but I share your passion of interstellar glory. We should totes form an all Scandi crew. No retarded names, though...

Something cool and profound with a touch of epicness, nothing more because that is pretentious and nothing less because that is scrub-like.

Shit I thought this was spaceship stuff. Hmmm...

Oh god I loved Skies of Arcadia, this looks like a more in depth action based version of it (at least to me :P)

I am officially hyped for this game

Somehow I think zeppelins fighting would end up with them both going down immediately.

Shush!

Obviously you want to follow the code of honor applied to Zeppelin-Dogfights: Never shoot the enemy Balloon!


Or, if you prefer that:Maybe they split up the Balloon in so many chambers that losing some isnt a problem...

Well, I would think enviromental pollution would be a lot higher, with all those steam engines firing coal.

Maybe you should take off your aviation goggles and vest; let some hot air out of your balloon, buddy. Maybe I'm saying I rather would play a Hindenburg simulator.

Sooo...Anyone up to starting a fun-crew?Playing with pubbies is lame, I want someone to work with, and who maybe is smart enough to use the fucking flamethrowers if they are within reach instead of staying at the front cannon wich cant even fire on an enemy.

if you like this sort of teamwork, you would probably be better served by Pirates of the Burning Sea, which is like EVE Online-Lite.  Groups of evenly matched ships can have fights that last for 10-30 minutes.  Lots of good 6v6 & Portbattle videos on youttube

this game seems pretty underwhelming and underdeveloped for the price they're asking.

yeah, I got mislead by the great opportunities its crew system would pose, but its rather a rip-off.YOu can buy new clothes, each piece costs from 2-6 dollars.Basically, it´s an F2p where you have to pay for the client.Bullshit.And its still slightly bugged.

I always wanted to try pirates of the burning sea, might do it now, thanks(Although My problem is that I dont really have enough time for an "real" mmo, whcih is why I wanted to play GoI)

Deserved of a necro as this game is currently on steam sale.  You can get 4 copies for £10, if others are interested let me know.

Or mayby its a fucking acurate simulator of unrealistic zeppelins powered by magic

Already bought it a while ago because me and some friends have a 4 man crew. Getting pretty good actually. I hate playing with pubs though. All it needs is a retarded commander/pilot who screws up the gun configuration, or engineers who don't repair and you're pretty much fucked. So we only play it when there's at least 3 of us.

So far favourite ship for most intense fighting is a Squid. Gatling on the front, mortar on the right and sniper/flamethrower rear. Use the gatling to strip the armour then usually one mortar broadside finishes most ships instantly. At the most 2. However, take one full broadside from a galleon or junker ect and you're pretty much done. Even more hilarious when you get harpooned to one. You need to be able to rely on other people for the squid as it needs constant repairs.

At the moment I play pilot, and the others engi/gunner. No one else wants to pilot cause it's effing hard. We can now join a game on a completely gimped ship and turn the match around though. Pub stomping woo.

Resurrection.

This game now has a new persistent world map mode just released in alpha. You basically coop with 4 other crews and take on AI objectives. It's challenging and tough and a great deal of fun. If any of you have been sitting on this one and dropped it I would suggest getting back into it.

Obviously ideal if you have a group of 4 of you as you can crew your ship much better.

They've added new maps and new ships and you can pick which faction you join and fight for on the persistent map.

never heard of that, but I played the hell out of GoI when it was in its 2nd year i played some 300-400 matches then last year i played a bunch more...
got to be a pretty good pilot/engi, but i got burned out on it.

Still think it is one of the best games out there for teamwork-oriented action games. Certainly unique in the gameplay, if not for everyone,
since you really do have to work together, much like Natural Selection or other such heavily team-based games.
