More Than A Pilot's Chair

It was pretty pre-rendered i believe. So we'll see
The game is all procedurally generated.
I know it's not the same as ED or SC as it is not an MMO, but still it looks great.

Got me imagining the possibilities with an Oculus Rift and possibly even an in-game internet terminal... could be interesting
i was talking about the trailer, not the actual game engine.
If you watch the the presso, after Sean Murray has his speech they show a lot of gameplay footage that isn't (or doesn't seem to be) pre rendered but rather scenes of in game footage.
Just speculating of course. I could be wrong.
Anyhow, we digress. Moved those thoughts to a different thread.

I've said this before. The scale and scope of Elite makes big warships a much more attractive prospect here than in the confined Cryengine-limited space of Star Citizen.
I'm perfectly content to get my hands on a Cobra mk 3 again, and do trade convoys, exploration and mining with my friends.
In the long run though, I want us to be able to get our hands on a Federal (or Alliance or whatever) frigate or even a destroyer, carry sidewinders and a few wings of the short range fighters along and go do epic stuff on the wild frontier.
And yes, I _do_ want that "guild hall" where we can sit in the map room or a warship and plan where we are heading next. In a heated battle, whether any of us wants to launch in Sidewinder to lead the short range fighters in the field, be directing things from a battlemap, manning turrets or piloting the ship will give awesome amounts of stuff to do, and truly epic feeling of risk and freedom.

The genre is screaming out for just that. MMOs are, by their very definition, social affairs. If ED's social aspect is limited to wether or not I will shoot that player down before he shoots me, as awesome as that is, the game will not have the longevity we all desire it to have.
