"it is"..was referring to the starter pack..not the expensive part ;D

it is. The stuff you can buy are "just" other spaceships and the devs said, that won't be possible after launch as it's just used to found the game. It also doesn't give you an immediate advantage as for big ships you need a crew to man the turrets. The basic starter pack gives you a small ship...

Sry to say but the argument "it's Half-Life 1 engine" doesn't count anymore. Sure we use it as a base but the graphics engine is not Half-Life anymore it's our own. It should still run, but how well and at what settings is open

The talk about different ways to block/deflect do whatever with incomming attacks is nice, but the fact is, there will be struggles balls vs beams(just ignoring those is a cheap way out). Thing with different ways to block is, how would you initiate that ? More keys ? Do you want a fast fighting...

Still doesn't change the fact that noone would do it, because the other one can just keep on shooting balls at you wich makes it unpossible to win a struggle

Okay guys. The question was on how to solve the problem that the one shooting a big ball attack (genkidama and so on) atm can't loose in a struggle. He can simply fly away and recharge no risk there. He can even spam them. Its NOT about how you loose a struggle but about how encurage struggles...

And when you press search your computer searches in the whole wide web for matching servers to list them ? NOPE you have something like master servers where public servers are registered so you can find them without much looking. It's different for private games but there you have to know the IP...

Well the plan is a release this year. Coders are just busy with work atm, means there is little time to fix one of the blockers...the beam struggle code. Apart from that there is some refactoring going on aswell as some technical improvements.

Well, using the HL1-Engine as an indicator on how well ESF runs is wrong. Using the "engine" we made on the other hand, works. I would say, yes you need quite some more power for ESF than for HL1. But it's not that hardware hungry as some other games.

How about a Spawn thread ?

It says .."Give me all your Money!"

Haha i doubt that :P , and decompiling them won't work as the rig will be broken besides...we got some necro-lovers here xD

Rosat is a pretty low demanding map. And there is always esf_island_test :D

@Blashix , a DualCore with 3.5Ghz is something you can harly by anymore these days, also a gtx660 is dunno...5-6 years old now ? So i don't think it's to high. Witcher3 on the other hand, yeah Quadcore and a GTX970 can't run it on max and full HD at stable 40fps so... Also keep in mind. ESF...

Yep even then. Some Triangles might get culled in NDC(normal device Coordinates) but until then, they still have to be read from vram, transformed and everything. So you save some pixel calculations but until a triangle is formed and rasterized all the processing is still done. That's also the...

That doesn't help much Grega...most stuff is still processed by the GPU.

For specs..nothing final here :D But you should have a GPU with at least full DX10 support. I think Readon HD5xxx Series might be ok as the lower end. My last GPU a GTX660 could run ESF at stable 60fps with everything on max. Sure since then the new cloud system came in place, but the old one is...

Another thing is, it's not that easy to make model edits anymore. It might(or will) screw up the rig.

There you go...a map boundary isn't nothing...it's a map boundary. And unlike ESF 1.2.3 the visible map doesn't end there. It's an energy barrier wich restricts the playable area And yes it is a point. When you are in a cage fight and get yourself in a corner so you can't run away, are you gonna...

As Grega said, there is a visible indicator once you get near a map boundary. If you ignore that and get smashed into it..again your fault for not paying attention for your environment
