[QUOTE=milkandcooki;25538706]That chaingun sound makes me want to tear my ears out. [editline]20th October 2010[/editline] Bzzzzrrzzrrtttt[/QUOTE] I imagine a real chaingun would make your ears hurt as well, were you firing it. But I'd be remiss if I didn't add MORE DAKKA.

Changed some things in the first post, tried to make it a little nicer looking.. [editline]20th October 2010[/editline] Well then.

Didn't you take asteroid health class? Sheesh! Posting stuff like that. In other news, blasting a hole clean through an asteroid to pop an explosive cap in the exhaust of a baddie is glee inducing. On the same level of Red Faction: Guerilla, the first time you send a multiple-story skyscraper crashing down (Onto a tank, in my experience), or your first physics puzzle in Half-Life 2. You just can't beat that "Heeheeheeeee!" feeling some games have.

so this game is loooong away from getting released?

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;25538474]Whaddya mean by that?[/QUOTE] When looking at the videos you can clearly see that ships that have their thrusters constantly on has a constant velocity. What I think would be great is if they tried to make it realistic instead. If that was the case, ships that had a constant thrust would have a constant acceleration, not constant velocity.

I have a feeling that the game will die for some reason (Vaporware) Does anyone els bought it? If so, Is it worth buying? :confused: I know its in alpha..

Thats why I made a thread here...to hopefully prevent it from becoming vapourware. I bought it of course, and the base game that they have right now is quite nice.

Weird that no one is interested in this game. Just played the pre-alpha build and its damn awesome! Customizing your ship, creating tunnels in asteroids. Very fun! All i need is multiplayer support and more/smarter enemy AI

Well, spread it around. The devs need the publicity!

bumped

I think its the name. Miner Wars.. I don't know it does not feel right.

I think they will change it. They're talking about it

[QUOTE=Lyoko774;25588686][/QUOTE] Already made a video

Is this worth buying for it's current state and playing with friends?

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;25589785]Is this worth buying for it's current state and playing with friends?[/QUOTE] No multiplayer support yet. But it'll be added soon enough, hopefully. Also, if you like blowing shit up..Get it. :P

This essentially looks like EVE for stupid people.

You can fly around, have a fight with the enemy AI Destroy Asteroids Play story mode (not much story) [i]They said there will be 1 update month[/i] ow and if you are looking for me Go to the forums and look for DrVagax [editline]23rd October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=LUHG!;25590762]This essentially looks like EVE for stupid people.[/QUOTE] Eh. no. This is nothing like EVE.

Will be getting this for meself later, looks awesome.

[QUOTE=LUHG!;25590762]This essentially looks like EVE for stupid people.[/QUOTE] It's..not really much like EVE at all. This is more like a mix of Descent, Red Faction and X3.

Gonna buy this next paycheck.

Cool game acually

I actually find myself wondering, has anyone here ever played Descent before?

Apparently not..

Just waiting on my copy of this game to get processed, heh. Gawd I can NOT wait for the multiplayer of this to get launched. And then copious amounts of missiles shortly thereafter.

Just bumping this, it needs more ATT

I've been watching this game on and off for some time now. Unlike Infinity and Jumpgate, it looks like this game has NOT gone the way of vapourware. Good thing too, we've been out of a space shooter for some time now.
