Title: Enemy Starfighter
Post by: Silent Disapproval Robot on August 16, 2013, 12:30:42 PM
This looks like it might be an interesting little title.  It's a space combat sim that lets you fly a starfighter a la X-Wing but it also requires you to control a fleet of capital ships.  It's got a pre-planning phase like Rainbow 6 an also allows you to control your fleet in real time like Nexus: The Jupiter Incident or Flotilla.  Graphically, it looks a lot like Flotilla with some Homeworld thrown in.  I think (and hope) a lot of the textures and objects are still just place-holder art.

Could be a winner.

I dig it. Early alpha eh? So no release this year or is that possible?

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep an eye out for it.
Hopefully it will turn out to be somewhat good.

Yeah there is something 'right' about the way it looks.

I dunno.  I guess I prefer my ships to look more beat up and grey.  Those primary colours they use now look like flying bits of gelato.  Gelato makes for terrible armor.

Wow, nice find!  Flotilla was the first game that came to mind for me, then that vaporware starship game from Italy that was announced with much ballyhoo back in 2011.   

Keeping an eye on this one.
