Someone said to me the other day here on one of the forums that they thought the skirmish experience of Jumpgate Evolution development had sort of gone south & turned out mundane, but I'm not sure what he was basing it on. I think maybe he was whining that his favorite ship or engine had been nerfed or something, whahh.
I liked player-on-player Jumpgate Classic action fine... I played a non mmo game called DarkStar One with a joystick that I enjoyed -- something like that would be exciting in an mmo.
I just look forward to as few as servers as possible, which I've already been in touch with the community enough to realize there's a bit of an unfortunate reality to that aspect, it seems. I don't know enough about development to know why they would split it up so much right from the get-go, when players would so much more seemingly want a more unified realm for economy and conceptual feel, even if it meant just almost endlessly carbon copying nigh identical star systems like you know who, of course.
I wanted to post those ideas as concise suggestions, but can anyone tell me in their own reply nutshell why there's such a consensus of lameness around Jumpgate Evolution at this time, without my simply trying to catch up on many months of conflicting conjecture and details that are of interest but little consequence?
Obviously one thing is that if servers are too many and players too sparse, economy would have to be fake at least at first, and would be kinda lame if permanently phoney. Somebody called bluff on that the other day. What else?
Who still holds out earnest, realistic hope this game will be worth dedicating some real time and seasoned skill to?

There are turrets. Hive turrets
no, but what will you control them with, other joysticks?
Oh, no, just make them automatic like EVE,
but we'll rename it ADAM
because it has a stick to play with

Ambro being Aubrey explains a lot.

[Ambrosius]

I'd rather be Maturin.

So. where have YOU been hiding?

Either way then I can be Gogo, the fearsome Quantar fighter guy, who was often not shot first in combat.

I've mostly been forgetting about Jumpgate, which given that nothing seems to have come out yet has probably been for the best. Car forums have filled in for video game forums.

Back to working in Toronto...playing guitar or guitar hero seems to be filling in for video game time although I still play TF2 here and there.

I think I have lost all interest in things Jumpgate. I never thought that would happen but I realize now that it has.
