Title: What has changed in multiplayer?
Post by: DirtySnipe on August 24, 2010, 09:08:05
Can we have an offical release of features for multiplayer?

Like is the environment more active. e.g being able to attach mooring lines to docks.

If this new release is nothing more than a gfx overhaul and a few new ships then I dont think I will be bothering.


We need more in multiplayer.

Hi DirtySnipe,

I'm afriad nothing has really been said about multiplayer on SSE at the moment, so you'll just have to wait until Friday to find out.

I can tell you that there will be much more to do in SSE, rather than look at the nice visuals :)

Hi TFM,

I would 'assume' that the servers will be setup for SSE for the release. Would make sense not to :)

That dont make sense. Wait till it has been released to find out what functions are in a product???

Why not get the makers to post what the features are then let people decide to preorder or not..

I want to get the bonus content if im going to get this game. So i need to know now really what the game features really include in multiplayer instead of a vague overview and nice gfx looking sim.

gfx isnt everything.

Are you just messing with us with that reply.

Its obvious there are different ship.

they kept bringing out more ships in the last product.

But that didn't really improve the multiplayer experience did it.

Same thing pilot a ship around and not be able to interact with the environment.

Hi Dirtysnipe,

Unfortunately we do not know everything about the game, since features change during the development process.

However as The Ferry Man correctly pointed out Frank did mention something about co-op missions in Multiplayer, which suggests that there will be more to multiplayer than just sailing around.

I'm afraid I personally cannot tell you any more than that right now, but I will ask one of our members of staff if they can give you any further information :)

still just another ship type really isn't it.

As it is being released as a boxed product in a few days im sure they can tell you exactly what the features are included on release day.

To be fair we have answered as much as we know - there will be co-op missions in the future...

other then that, its a case of wait and see...

Hi Dirtysnipe,

I'm afraid there is nothing more to say as it's already been said. MP will be similar to how it is now in 08, but with a strong chance of co-op missions in the near future.

Sorry I can't help you further than that, but you'll just have to wait and see. The game is far much more than just multiplayer, with more to do than there was in 08 :)

Will the Multiplayer servers for ShipSim 2008 still be available for people having ShipSim 2008 installed on their PCs?
