Looks like a beefed up version of FFE, but... Non-beam cannons? Who did this and how do I get it?

Much obliged, dear sir

Can someone repeat the link to that Kickstarter graph that shows pledged money by day? Can't find it anymore.

Having douchebags is realistic. No, it's not. Having criminals is realistic: people who rob and murder for profit is realistic. But criminals who go around killing insignificant people who are carrying little or nothing the criminal could possibly want are scarce, to say the least. So, when was the...

Oh, and, about limiting encounters to friends-only. I want a realistic game. Erm, but oolite isn't realistic. The scales are out of wack, the physics is airplane based, it took a s**t load of explaining to plausibility justify cat and bird people. The game itself is horrendously flawed in the "...

You have made me doubt my memory now. I do remember that I thought FFE played better than FE2 at the time, but I'm certainly not sure which one was most true to Newtonian Physics. Actually, I think both are completely Newtonian. The only difference is that in FFE, when combat alert goes off, the en...

If you played both Frontier and FFE you will have some idea of what it means. FFE took some of the Newtonian out of play by "automating" the use of "thrusters" to make it feel a bit more "water tank physics" like (I like that term). So it's a way of hiding the skidding...

Erm... Sorry, me again. FAQ:

Will you have Newtonian physics in the game?

Yes. The degree of the fly-by-wire to override the feeling of skidding is something we will carefully tune.

Does anyone have any idea what this means? Because I haven't got a clue.

Oh, and, about limiting encounters to friends-only. I want a realistic game. Having douchebags is realistic. They are everywhere in real-life. And as you avoid them in real-life, you can avoid them in-game, simply stick to safer systems. Want adventure? Well, get good and find a way to defend yourse...

if they've got any sense though they won't do what they did with Frontier - i.e. a vast procedurally generated galaxy with a tiny fraction of 1% containing anything at all. Frontier had millions of systems the player could (eventually) visit, but nearly all of them were devoid of any life beyond th...

Isn't anybody worried about this part:

Multiplayer: you will be able to control who else you might encounter in your game – perhaps limit it to just your friends?

Facebook style, anyone?

This is exactly what Dr. Joreb Innitu was saying. No wonder they had him killed.

He was shooting pirates, I joined in and when they were done, I was wondering where he was going so I followed him. Turns out he was on patrol; when he got t...

Actually, if it's already been asked and there already are topics about it (sorry for not looking thoroughly), maybe even pin the information in a visible place. Then, as far as I'm concerned, you may even delete this...
