'Flat' is basically how id describe it, its lacking the character that wingman added, Sandi doesnt really have charisma IMO, which given the fact that shes been an actress, is wierd (though it does explain why she isnt doing that today).
Ben i dont mind, he seems more enthusiastic, with Sandi seems more artificial, though i dont believe thats accurate, just how it looks.
Its not trying to be the same show though, and i guess thats what we'll have to accept, it seems like its more straight interview, more informative than entertaining.
So ive been a bit concerned lately regarding these massive corps like xplor etc, will anyone be able to mine or ever really find anything like ancient relics due to these massive corps finding everything and the little corps not even getting a look in out the good stuff???
Thats a concern i keep coming back to. Our small org (we're a BF clan primarily, but the mainstay of our members are desperate for SC) was approached by an org who are hardcore flight sim orientated, basically looking for people they feel match their ambition to merge into their org. Their plan is to hold territory, and defend it from anyone looking to muscle in. I dont know if they'd defend from people also wanting to use it, but certainly those wanting to force them out and occupy it.
Theres certainly going to be a lot to do, but it does conceen me when i wonder whether a portion of it is just going to be off limits unless you're one of them.
Xplore arent too bad, their excessively affiliated members, compare that to Imperium, who are almost exclusively primary members, thats where concern should be focused. The Xplore numbers are just inflated by people who's loyalty lies elsewhere, they'll lack coordination, whereas Imp have a community, they have structure and dedicated dept's for different requirements, combat, trade, exploration ect. not 6000 randoms doing as they please.
What im hoping is that the game doesnt go down the DayZ route, where people start with good intentions, but those with selfish intentions shoot on sight and wear you down, to the point where you either also go bandit, or stop playing, because the game you want is infested with people wh go against that, and its just not fun. Will we be bullied into flying in groups of 20 to feel safe, will that result in a handful of huge orgs, with armies trying to conquer the universe, and no room for the little guys?
It just seems like we'll be dependant on this supposed slider which dictates whether you see lots of people or NPCs instead, which will end up feeling more like a huge coop game, than a huge multiplayer game.
Id much rather support freedom of movement, with pirates if people want to be pirates, but i suspect there will be more combat between 'citizens' than pirates.
