Jumpgate Evolution

Interesting, i love realism of space flight. In EVE theres no such thing when it comes to space combat, cant collide, using power to maintain afterburner speed...stupid and so on. In the very old game Final Frontier i remember a cool feature. When u were landing on planets manually...it did take some skills maneuvering your ship to the landing pad. Also landing on planets with atmosphere was cool, never seen that in other games. I remember i had great fun blasting my guns so the cops would chase me around the planet :)

Thx Eraser for notice ;)

ALOT of cat & mouse in this game, if you want it.  You can run all day long... or can you?

hmm.. I always blew up when I came close to planets.. was it rly possible as you describe it?

Hmm i think i made a typo. I was talking about the sequal to the first game Elite...maybe it was final frontier?

I sure hope there wont be any leaving of the ship to walk around. Maybe while docked in the station there are viewing windows for seeing outside, that'd be cool.

Will asteroids and spacestations be solid?

As in, can I crash into them if I suck at navigating?

Or use objects as cover against enemy fire?

Asteroids and spacestations are solid.  Yes, you can smack into them.  That will cause damage to your ship. Objects do indeed act as cover from enemy fire.  And as cover from your own fire, of course.
