[quote who="michaelwhittaker" reply="2" id="3417168"] Is this a new game that's coming out. Can U also tell me what's it's like[/quote] It's an old game that stardock is giving the reboot. Honestly we know very little about their plans. As a whole we can expect something like star control 2, but it's an old game so I expect changes and improvements.
The aspect of SC that I liked the most was how you could land on a planet and explore. The mechanistic weren't as good as I would like though. My idea would be to ditch the rover and move more to a star track away team style. It would start in space, you would scan the planet mass effect style. (ME took from SC so I think SC should take from ME.) Each time you find something of interest, it gives you a landing spot you can explore. Some landing zones would need upgrades before you would b
Maybe it could be 3d? I just hope they keep in mind that there are a lot of way they could do space combat. I wouldn't mind seeing changes in ship upgrades or planet exploration. Just so long as the game still has them. Planet exploration is my SC sacred cow. I don't think I could enjoy the game if they didn't give us the ability to land on planets via rover or some other vehicle. Maybe an away team style party of crew members that plays out as a RTS/TBS/mix
I say jettison because it's not that good. The reboot angle just gives a good excuse. I don't think space melee is a critical part of SC definitely not more important then exploration and dialog. Also if we can't fit multiple ships into melee that just sounds like another reason to switch to something else. My two cents.
For my two cents, I didn't really like the space combat in SC2. This is a reboot, so I say start from scratch. My current thought is that FTL has some fun deep and fast battles, but their are many diffrent ways to implement space combat. Multi ship battles are a good idea obliviously. I also really like the idea of escorts unlocking new dialog options.
