Looks interesting

March 2015 is a bit too far for me to be splashing the cash now, but ill definitely be keeping an eye on this.

Perihelion Interactive's staff have previous credits for the following franchises: Assassin's Creed 1&2, Mafia 2, Alan Wake, FarCry 2&3, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures,Call of Duty 3, Splinter Cell, Planet of the Apes, Saga of Ryzom, FIFA ONLINE, FarCry Evolution, Rainbow 6 Vegas, The Secret World and more.

^^ Staff work experience. Mandate does look interesting. Concept sounds great but i am not sure how the inside ship interactions are going to work (is it just jagged alliance type combat for instance?). A large meaningful part of the game is the ship interior interactions with crew apparently?

Baulders Gate style combat when storming ships and visiting planets please.

according to kicktraq its on track to hit 92% of its goal. I really hope it doesnt fail that close to completion. Im already a backer of it.

Mandate captain is M Bison!

Having game development costing so much, I wonder if 500,000 is really enough. Though they did mention procedurally generated areas so I guess that would help offset the cost.

Raumarik · 22 Oct 2013 at 14:41

I wasn't massively impressed when I saw this a few days ago, still not really getting much of a feel for it. Have to agree with Temp.sgk too, they'll need a lot more funding than half a million.

Might reconsider in a few days but not tempted to make it my fifth kickstarter

No Thank You!...we have moved on since Baldur's Gate.

Xcom style combat and I'm in

Loving the look of this. Will definitely invest and keep an eye on it, probably closer the time though.

Squark · 23 Oct 2013 at 15:33

I've back it, sounds interesting. Looking forward to see how it'll develop.

Matmulder · 23 Oct 2013 at 19:28

It does look fantastic - the co-op mode sounds like a blast. Backing this...not sure I can justify $75 for the Alpha...

arknor · 20 Nov 2013 at 02:52

Interesting focus in the game. I just hope what works on TV works in a game because the opposite is rarely true! I did enjoy the crew interaction elements of Mass Effect though.

Done a $20 pledge for now.

Bit of an old thread but here's the latest

arknor · 8 Apr 2014 at 22:17

Can't believe they made that and didn't show the combat....

Raumarik · 8 Apr 2014 at 22:21

Doubt it's at a stage where the combat is ready to show to be fair, looks nice and polished, can't help thinking the control/combat will be dull though (will be buying if it's not).
