'Less hardcore' and 'WoW in Space!' made me puke a little in my mouth.

However, WoW in space can mean a lot of things as there is a lot of different aspects of WoW... I will reserve my judgment.

I'd like a clarification of exactly what was ment when he kept saying 'Less Hardcore'... wtf?

Ummm... Hardcore is a mindset, not a game mechanic. We can make Jumpgate Evolution hardcore and I am sure there will be folks (new guys) who want to make things a bit extreme.. The only problem with that is that us Jumpgate Classic vets were breast fed on extreme, and dined on harcore... "Hot" wars a daily fact of life in the Jumpgate World.. The real question is.. will the incoming new community be able to handle it or will it be too extreme?

Questions oh Questions...

If you're looking at what I think you're looking at, you're actually seeing the Halcyon, the Solrain starter ship in Jumpgate Evolution. It was named in a contest here on JSR and Jump or others can probably point you to a copy of the concept art around here somewhere.

Technically, none of the "old" ships will be in Jumpgate Evolution, though of course most of the role/types are being retained and as a result, you'll probably be able to point at a future Solrain Medium Fighter and call it "the Evo Vader". At this point, I'm expecting all the stats to become pretty foreign to the Jumpgate Classic experience, and as has been said before, all the models are going to be completely different. An interesting tidbit is that we're looking at revising the code that manages ships and ship stats in such a way that (unlike in Jumpgate Classic), we can offer multiple ships of any type we see fit (e.g. three factional light fighters or whatever). We haven't actually implemented this yet, but several team members are highly motivated to ensure that it happens.

Several of us, including Scorch, are very eager to push video out to the community. This is a drawback of still being essentially a small company. The resources to build and polish a video are still committed elsewhere and we don't have a clear timeframe right now for when we're going to make a Jumpgate Evolution video happen. I've been instructed that no unpolished video (which we *might* also release) will ever happen before an official trailer is done. Rest assured we consider it a very high priority. Your first indication that some kind of video work may be getting under way will be that our Jumpgate Evolution official website is up.

Assuming the game trailer is going to be CGI and not in-game footage, can I request there be a scene where a bunch of Sols are chasing after an Oct fighter at very high velocity? Oh, and two Sol medium fighters orbiting each other at uncomfortably close range would be great too.

I AM an Octavian, so I take exception with the statement that ND hates Octs.

That is not a very good assumption

[Injustice]

ND doesn't hate Octs, they love them. They're like the Jumpgate version of palladins. Did I just go there? YES I DID.
