There is a new 7 min. video released today with lots of shots of the GUI and actual gameplay.  This game seems to be a lot further along than I suspected.

Here is the YouTube version or you can go the their site and download the higher quality video.

Some nice stuff in that vid. We'll have to wait and see what direction it takes.

Instanced missions. I think we already know...

And as usual, the developers managed to make yet another god awful UI.

I can live with instanced PvE missions so long as the PvP isn't instanced.

Just speculating, but it looks like the "instanced" missions they have in mind, would be similiar to Eve. Not really instanced in the classical sense, but randomly generated spots of in the middle of massively empty space, to generate the "instance" feel, without technically being an instance. The UI well, there is only so many things you can do with the staple and have it useable for a dogfighter as well.

This games looks more and more incredible every time i see it. And it certainly lives up to my personal hype, it looks and feels like a real space-sim. Excellent, and PRETTY!

Yeah, I have never been a fan of their UI's. They either  trying to hard or not hard enough. :)

I like the UI

I think I cried when I saw it the first time...it was beautiful. The gameplay looks sweet. the UI i don't care about as I do about the missions and the gamestyle which looks like exactly what I want.

Looks sweet. Playing X3 Terran conflict atm here; great game but I miss other people :)

The UI was pretty clear and intuitive at a first glance, imo.

If I can't fly or own anything larger then a fighter craft for PVE and especially PVP then its going to suck IMHO. The I hope the mission instancing is not whisking players away from the rest of the game world.

From the way BP has, so far, listed features there WILL be larger (possibly capital) ships. It is VERY important to note, however, that they will be handled in a relatively realistic fashion. Meaning that they will probably be very expensive to build and they WILL require multiple people to operate. As you can see from one of the videos there is gameplay footage from the point of view of a gunner in a larger ship.

In other words - BP is being handled in a more realistic fashion. Eve (which I see that you play) is hyper fantasy in the realm of ship control. The whole lore backing it involves your capsule and capsuleers being treated like gods and blah blah blah.

BP is, obviously, not set in the same world as Eve. Controlling a large ship won't require hundreds of people like it probably should, but about 3-4 for the large ships wouldn't likely be out of the question. I would much prefer guild fights with fewer capital ships, a few frigates, but dozens (or hundreds) fighters and bombers over the globs of capital ships in Eve that is actually fairly ridiculous.

Bah it's been removed and I missed it!!!
