Can we expect to see you in space on Jumpgate Classic?

Wait what? Explain.

Note: If the answer to this is 'no' I will cry!

They already mention some time ago that the HUD is done in flash and people that have played the game said it is awesome.

What! I dont remember seeing that! What we need is some sort of device that gathers all the Jumpgate Evolution threads on every forum everywhere along with every interview and feeds then directly into our head as coded brain wave patterns.

C'mon Jump, dont waste your time with POS listers, give us what we really need!

Well, you could always click the devtracker link up top there.

after reading some of the news of late i think the whole dev team need to get into Jumpgate Classic and see the error of their ways.

Tim - You lighten up, it's just a forum

Awen- as I said in re-mushrooming, just being blunt. It's pretty discouraging when the most important questions won't be answered. Here's some more:

Are there missions/questions currently in Jumpgate Evolution that have a storyline to make it sound like you're doing something important, but in reality everyone gets to do the same mission so it will still need to be done by someone else after I've done it?
For example, in city of heroes there was a mission take take down the Clockwork King. However, once you took him down you could immediately join another group and do it again...so really you didn't take anyone down...

Do NPC pirates threaten you if you don't transfer credits, or try to steal your cargo, or just blow you up?

Is the beta estimate still early 2008? I don't want to plan a trip to Denver if I can find out the same stuff in a month or so.

If I showed up at the ND office, do you think they'd let me in?

Has there been any talk of naming sectors/parts of space after Jumpgate Classic characters?

In comparison to Jumpgate Classic, when does Jumpgate Evolution start (immediate future, 400 years ahead, etc)?

OK *deep breath* I don't think I'll have enough lifetime left to answer all of these questions! You guys are a curious lot!

We have a mission system in place. I'm not sure how the backstory fits into it yet. I haven't gotten that far.

I can't tell you when beta will start. If I were to take a guess, early 2008 would not be the answer. Most likely around late spring early summer. But again, I don't know. It will happen with Herm says ok we're ready to let people in.

Yes. If you showed up at the ND offices, we'd let you in. Just send us an email or call first so we can prepare for it.. you know get the bunkers stocked, anti-aircraft shells loaded.. so on and so forth.

We are currently discussing some ideas about honoring past Jumpgate Classic players. Nothing is settled yet.

As far as I know we're talking 100 years into the future.

How many cookies can you eat in one sitting?

And one serious one, do you know if Jumpgate Evolution will be a free download with monthly fee, or like Jumpgate Classic was at release where you had to buy the game?

I promise to take pictures when I go back into the office on Monday. I'm only up there two days a week and I haven't had a chance to take pictures yet.

I can eat about 3 or 4 cookies in a sitting. If I eat more than that I ruin my dinner.

We haven't made a solid plan of how Evolution is going to be delivered to the public. Once those details are ironed out, I'll make sure you know.

on this screenshot we see a sol core, that's been made clear already i believe. what about the other structures floating around, what are those?

Gallery - Jumpgate Evolution

Those look like asteroids and space junk. I'm sure there are a few important things in there but it's too small to see.

Have you been involved in any PvP? Again, I am expecting a 'No.'

Have you played any other space-based or flight-based games before?

You have a tough job, Awen. There's so much you going to have to answer with 'no' or 'I can't answer that right now.' But it is an important job. Please keep talking to us. I have always been impressed at how Istvan handled his job of communicating to us, especially considering he is a game-coder, not a PR man.

My first impressions are that it has a ton of potential and I want to play more. That in itself says alot.

No I haven't played Jumpgate Classic

Yes I have PVP'd. Don't let it surprise you that I can be wicked mean on the battlefield. I am not saying that i'm good at it, but I can be fierce.

I played EVE and Earth and Beyond

Message is understood and I'll try not to let you down.

[project3wc]

i linkified to the bigger picture. besides the huge core there are some things on the top right that look like some sort of structures, ive seen tows docking onto them on other pics. thanks for answering though <3.

One question though. From the brief reviews so far it looks like the game is basically Jumpgate Classic with flash graphics and AI. Is it the plan to go into beta in this fashion and try out all the new ideas floating around or will you be adding more stuff beforehand?
kthx

Smeg

When the community gets into beta, it will be with the game nearly finished with just a few tweaks that need adjusting from what I understand.

Just for beeing clear, I talk about news, official statements or utilities, not responses to answers that might come up on the respective site.

Our official website will have all of our news, official statements and utilitie. We have a facebook page because it was quick an easy for me to set up without alot of technical difficulty. I realize that alot of people don't want to interact on facebook and that's ok. there won't be any information sent there that is not available to the general public.

• Can you volenteer any info we dont allready know from interviews.

Throw us a bone please.

Yes
Yes
I'm not sure yet.
I'm addicted to sweet coffee. I can't survive without it. (that has not previously been mentioned in an interview)

Right now I've been playing in 3rd person view. As soon as I play in 1st person, I'll let you know.
