Star Conflict - What if EVE, World of Tanks and Freelancer got it on? - Games

[IMG]http://puu.sh/2wKcu[/IMG] [B]What is it?[/B] To simply put it, Star Conflict is a F2P third person space dog fighting game. You can pick from a large variety of ships which span over 3 factions, each with customizable load outs and weapons. If you've played War Thunder the game is very similar in function, however the abilities to change out what sort of weapons, implants and other game changing modules you may have can keep the game fresh and give players plenty of tactics to use such as shield boosters, repair modules, missile flares, cloaks, you get the idea. [B]Ok, so what sort of game modes does it have? [/B] There's PvP (Arcade or Realistic) and PvE currently[B] In Arcade [/B]players have unlimited numbers of respawns and can take part in these type of matches:[QUOTE][B]Detonation[/B] In this Mode each Team has 3 reinforced Stations, that cannot be captured. The only way to destroy them is to use an EMP-Bomb. These Bombs can be found on the battlefield, floating in space. To pick up a Bomb, fly close to it and your ship will start to pick it up. This may take a few seconds. If you successfully loaded the bomb on your ship, you will be the Bomber that needs to place the Bomb. In Addition to the Bomb slowing you down, the Enemy Team will know who has the Bomb and will try to steal it! If bomb carrier decide to use Special Modules like Overdrive, Chameleon or Tachyon Cocoon, he will lose the Bomb and it can be stolen by the Enemy. The Bomb carrier then has to fly close to an Enemy Station, if close enough the Bomb will be set up and you have 3 seconds to flee from it. After that, the Station and its close surroundings will be blown up. The area of the explosion is big enough to damage or even destroy nearby ships. To achieve Victory one team must destroy all Enemy Stations. If both teams fail to do so then Team with more Bomb pick ups becomes a winner. [/QUOTE][QUOTE][B]Domination (Conquest)[/B] In this Mode you will find 3 neutral Beacons on the map. Each Team starts with 100 Points. Taking more than 1 Beacon will decrease the Points of the Enemy Team over time. Taking all 3 Beacons will make the Enemy suffer and loosing lots of Points in very short time. Destroying Enemy Ships will also reduce the Points of the Enemy Team, so even with a Beacon lost you can still achieve Victory. Destruction of an ally will also reduce the Points of your Team! So watch out when using Weapons of Mass destruction. [/QUOTE][QUOTE][B]Combat Reconnaissance[/B] My personal favorite. In this Game Mode every Team will randomly select a Player and make him the Team Captain. The Captain is able to see any Enemy Ship in Battle, no matter if it is Cloaked or in cover of an Obstacle. The Captain allows the Team to respawn again if your Ship is destroyed. Loosing the Captain will prevent further resapawns and the remaining Ships need to Survive in order to achieve Victory. Squadrons of Ships will hunt the Captain and you need to protect him, moreso you need to kill the Enemy Captain to prevent the return of any killed Enemy. Victory will be given to the Team who eliminates the enemy captain and any remaining pilots. [/QUOTE][B] Realistic[/B] only has one mode of play. In this Game Mode players have as many respawns as they do ships (3 max). Once one of your ships is destroyed you can't use it again in the match. The game mode is [QUOTE][B]Capture the Beacon[/B] In this Mode, every Team has 3 Beacons protected by Guard Drones. To gain control of the Sector you must capture the Enemy Beacons, while defending your own ones. To do this, you need to destroy the Guard Drones of an Enemy Beacon and fly close to it. Your Ship will start hacking the Beacon Systems and if enough Time given, the Beacon will be disabled. To prevent the loss of an Beacon you can assist its Firewall and restarting the Systems if you are close enough. The current durability of a Beacon is displayed for booth Sides. Guard Drones cannot be started again if they are destroyed. To stop hacking a Beacon you can also attack the hacking Ship. The Fleet will not be able to compensate any losses and you can only use the Ships you have taken into Battle. Any loss will weaken the Fleet and upon loosing all Beacons or all Ships the Battle is lost. [/QUOTE] [B]PvE[/B] is just a set of missions a squad of ships do against NPCs, useful for getting the hang of the controls or getting extra cash.

I started playing this last weekend and was thoroughly impressed. It was a lot of fun and apparently I'm playing after a patch that made everything terrible. The game is pretty much World of Tanks meets Freelancer. The fighting is fast and smooth, and the controls are great. It's actually pretty fun. I only just started tier 2, so I'm afraid that it'll be like World of Tanks where the first few tiers are great fun and then it's all downhill from there. So far I haven't noticed any glaring balance issues either. Except for when tiers get mixed, it does tend to come down to who's the better pilot instead of better equipment. Although better equipment does help.

is it bad that i sided with the orange frigate in the video?

wow this is actually really good Mouse aim mode ruins warthunder, but it works frickin great in space

I didn't like War Thunder. Only played about four rounds of it. Is there a chance I would like this more or less?

[QUOTE=Banned?;40269040]I didn't like War Thunder. Only played about four rounds of it. Is there a chance I would like this more or less?[/QUOTE] For what reason did you not like WT? I would rather play WT, if only they would fix all of WT's rage-inducing stupid shit (magic onehit planes, bullshit weapon damage scaling, planes being useless after you play them for a while, favoring mouseaim mode, and those dirty fucking ramming kamikazee planes). Thankfully I cant find any of those in SC. People still ram occasionally, but it doesnt do too much damage. The only complaints I can see so far is that you cant sell old ships, and the retard mongoloid playerbase, but you get that in every f2p game, and it actually doesn't affect gameplay too much, aside from me getting more kills because of brilliant frigates activating a cloak, and then not moving from their original position, and other great ideas such as flying a scout shit in a straight like towards 3 gaurd frigates. Its a pretty quick download, and well optimised. definately worth a shot.

I played about five matches earlier today and it was actually kinda fun. Maybe I didn't like the WW2 plane thing.

Are you able to aim in one direction and steer in another? I tried playing the tutorial mission and had a hard time of it. Maybe I'm just bad at flight sims.

fufufufufu 0.8 update. They messed up the whole ship progression and the fitting ability got limited drasticly. I wanna haz my old T1 Neuron Zealot back :(. RIP fed drones and jericho guided torps.

Looks interesting.

Getting this right now, it looks really awesome. I love space combat games, and games in space generally. [editline]23rd April 2013[/editline] wait is that the same game that got kickstarted to like 8 million a while ago? owait that was Star Citizen

I just got my first T2 ship a few days ago, a hydra with military lasers. being a giant tough-ass laser boat is freakin awesome.

Still a pretty damn fun game, great to just hop in and play a game in the evening.
