If only that were true. AAA graphics IMO are like icing on a cake: they can enhance something that’s already good without them, but they won’t disguise what’s rotten once you take a bite. The flip is also true IMO: “dated” graphics don’t make a bad game… in fact, I’m far more likely to give a game with “dated” graphics attention than the other way around. It’s usually a sign that the developer has focused their attention on good gameplay.Those are lovely! According to the official Frontier forum, good screenshots means it's a good game, so based on this why wouldn't I think SC is the superior game?
There is a lot of beauty in SC, and a lot of environmental diversity, it does make the explorer in me happy.
There will be a lot more of it when Pyro is in.
I wish it was not so dependant on Server meshing, i would be happy to have a disguised load screen to go to Pyro.
Server meshing will have to come at some point but right now just build up the game and put in Server meshing when its good and ready, its not the thing that absolutely must come first.
A lot of other games, including this one do load screens, its fine.
Superior no, it's alpha and not released.Those are lovely! According to the official Frontier forum, good screenshots means it's a good game, so based on this why wouldn't I think SC is the superior game?
Iirc, and that's unlikely, the problem is that they just can't.I wish it was not so dependant on Server meshing, i would be happy to have a disguised load screen to go to Pyro.

You are a client of the CryEngine 3 server which contains the "map", i.e. the entire system with everything.
In order to jump to another system, you need to either have this other system on the same map (not possible already and wouldn't scale anyhow), or have the other system on another server. (or have your current server switch map, but then that would switch the map for all players...)
This means that you, as a client of server A, should be disconnected and reconnected to server B with its different map. But that's not what CE3 was designed to do, hence why a single system. Handing over the client session from a server to the next isn't doable with their current engine, and they're still trying to hack it in.
And yeah, I agree with you, adding systems, even just 2/3 with just a few PoI each would make things a lot more attractive. Not to mention alleviate their pad ramming issues.
derelicts investigation on planets… caves with missions… boarding missions FPS gameplay tied to ship gameplay...
I haven't been trolling around Daymar for an age...I usually mine somewhere else with better pickings. Still a nice screenie though
The only recent-ish screenie I have of Daymar is from when the MSR was released to flyable...

A jump point will always be a loading screen, no matter how many meshings you slap on top. The only thing required for having a second (and more) star systems is not tying a game instance to a server directly but maintaining it as an entity elsewhere. This really should not be that hard, I have a feeling the issue with Pyro is actually Pyro.I wish it was not so dependant on Server meshing, i would be happy to have a disguised load screen to go to Pyro.

These images, they awaken the 8 year old in all of us!
Now if only the Mercury Star Runner could actually data run between stars![]()

But you find in it some features that ED is lacking.
Mainly : ship interior, EVA, derelicts investigation on planets/EVA, ocean, weather with effect on fps/ships, caves with missions, emotes, chat, voip, atmospheric flight, AA weapons, money exchange, boarding missions, bartender that serve drinks, FPS gameplay tied to ship gameplay...

According to the official Frontier forum, good screenshots mean it's a game with good visuals. Same as with SC. Being good screenshot simulators doesn't exempt any of the two from also having fun gameplay to go with the visuals.
Even our beloved X4 has its moments in the screenshots department. Luckily, the game isn't that bad either.![]()
For those that are not aware, Old Duck took a recent thread of mine and repurposed it for SC![]()
