Starfighter Inc - From the developers of X-Wing and Mechwarrior - ** New Kickstarter **

The fact that they have plans for multiplayer ships and boarding... I just about wet myself.

Those are the two big things I want from this type of game. It's one of the biggest things missing from War Thunder, I think. The idea of being able to man turrets together - millenium falcon style - is a childhood dream to me :o
 
Backed it yesterday as an early bird, completely forgot to post this here sorry guys!

At $15 it was a complete no-brainer tbh, still the $16 early bird going..
 
Have gone for the $16, couldn't resist pledging but also can't justify the $250 for the "backer only" playables, regardless of how tempting it is :o
 
Would love to back it but there just isn't enough done yet for me to feel that it will be a success. I've had some bad experiences with backing KS games where developers claim their game will fill the void in "tactical" or "next space adventure" gaming, etc, etc.
 
Newtonian physics made me pause. Any more about this? I dont mind *some* but its a delicate line to walk. ED does it quite well.
 
Good lord this is tempting, if it is event 1/10th if tie fighter that $16 will pay for itself

Edit: I resisted for all of 5 minutes, I am so in.

Yep it is delicate. If it's fully Newtonian... It will be pretty hard unless they do an ED and have a flight assist computer or similar. Maybe that's one of the information warfare aspects, being able to knock someone in to true Newtonian physics mode half way through a manoeuvre could be pretty good.
 
I pledged the other day at the $15 level. I don't think their stretch goals are realistic, as let's face it, this game isn't Star Citizen in scale. Nonetheless, it looks interesting and from the Xwing credentials alone it's enough to make me take a punt!
 
Am I missing something?

Xwing credentials of the lead developer aside, all this appears to be is a standard multiplayer space shooter.

There's been a frack ton of those in recent years on kickstarter, as well as those either in development or out in the wild.

The strongest suit of the lucas series on the pc was the single player story. Id be far more interested if somebody decided to use the kickstarter niche to fill the void left in the single player worlds.

Exactly how I feel. There's a new one rolled out every month and people get bored very quickly (i.e. the community fizzles out after the hype).
 
I've backed this at 75, but actually due to the Mechwarrior 2 credentials although the X-wing experience on the team is also good.

I've backed quite a few KS projects, none of which have really turned out yet except for Carmageddon which runs at about 5fps on my computer. I don't mind though, as I spent my games fund on future games while playing CS and my massive backlog!
 
you know all i can think of is I-war 2 : Edge of Chaos
we really need a new game in the I-war series

i really want the single player expirence :( but its so much more !!
