Okay, here's you a handful of unanswered questions. I am including explainations from Jumpgate Classic due to your stated lack of experience with said game.

1) What can you tell us about the Conflux in Jumpgate Evolution?

2) Specifically, will they have the unlimited radar of Jumpgate Classic? (a C1 squid can spot a pilot entering a sector and automatically targets them from an unlimited range. Also, once targeted that flux will follow the pilot as long as they remain in the sector no matter how far away the pilot may get, unless the flux is attacked by another pilot.)

3) What about flux dumps? If the pilot targeted by the flux leaves the sector, what will be the criteria for the flux's next target? (currently, if a targeted player leaves the sector, any remaining flux turn on any other pilots in that sector but I don't know how the targets are assigned if there are more than two pilots in the sector when this happens).

4) If a swarm jumps into a sector, will a pilot already in the sector automatically become a target? (currently you are safe unless someone else jumps in/out and thus "dumps" the swarm on you. You can't even SEE the swarm on your radar if you are in the sector when the swarm jumps in!).

5) Will ECM modxs, or their Jumpgate Evolution equivilents, function against the flux? (Currently ECM in Jumpgate Classic have no effect on the flux other than the Anti-Flux which is basically a flux spawn suppressor and the Abattis which makes your shields more effective against certain flux weapons.)

6) Will flux change targets without being attacked first? (in Jumpgate Classic, a flux will stay on the original target until that pilot leaves the sector, is destroyed or the flux is attacked by another pilot).

7) What can you tell us about the flux AI in Jumpgate Evolution? Collision avoidance was added late in the Jumpgate Classic game, but what else can we expect in the new ones?

8) Are there new classes of flux in Jumpgate Evolution? If so, do they have new weapons/types?

9) Will the conflux "ships" be redesigned from their Jumpgate Classic models?

Emm I see the subliminal FC adverts are working a treat, WB asked all the question I asked him to, Muhamuhamuhaaaaaa

[netburnr]

I dont think any of the flux stuff is worked out yet, they have been very quiet about them

[project3wc]

didnt one of the guys that visited ND get killed AND was eaten by some flux according to his reports, theres a thread somewhere in the News forums. ND just hasnt released any actual screenshots of the Flux yet. too lazy to link.

Oh yeah, so what the heck are those things in our footer image or in our gallery or on the New Dawn site?

I have some questions!

1) Are there plenty of OP tools for player and GM RP storylines? Special effects, sents etc etc

2) Do you intend to make the game scalable, so you can change the size of 'space' depending on numbers?

3) Will Quantar still be by far the best faction?

There is another pic also, not from a squid. You could say is a flux because of its color but its form is like nothing we've seen in the past, it appears in one of those sol core pics...

Im going to upload the pic, it looks pink as in conflux but no clue on if it is or not, and so... the question would be.... is it a conflux or another AI thing?



At the gallery is the 800x600 version. Its at the center but to the left, near to what appears to be ships.

I doubt it is a conflux Elp. The pink color is just play of lights.

I think it is a POS with tubes for additional modules.

we've seen the sol ship and the quant ship both concept and actual in game screenshots, what about oct? will u give us a sneak peak ( besides the concept image) ??
