Jumpgate Evolution
Has anyone given any thought to JGE? I remember playing JG and loving it. It seems JGE is will have some semblance of Newtonian Physics. Anyone else interested?

Re: Jumpgate Evolution
Looks like this one is getting closer to release. I signed up for the the beta but with my luck, or lack thereof, it won't happen.

Re: Jumpgate Evolution
Yeah I signed up for the beta as well. I'm looking forward to it. Hasn't been a good space sim out since Freelancer and I'm sure that didn't satisfy the hardcore space sim crowd.

I played the original JG as well but have pretty much given up hope for JGE. Instanced PvP and Arenas, you ship getting poped is just a free trip back to the station with cargo intact and flying with Newtonian physics is optional.

Re: Jumpgate Evolution
So it's basically WoW in space?
I'd be happy with a strict SP game with good graphics, decent story, and TONS of places to explore.

No, it's more like a Freelancer-esk game than WoW in space. (Why does everything pair WoW with something as a comparison?) Originally Posted by Spyder228

Re: Jumpgate Evolution
Not all the PvP is instanced. There are instances for people who want arena type combat but there are also PvP systems. I believe NetDevil said the ratio of PvP to PvE systems is about 50-50. And you can flag yourself for PvP anywhere including PvE systems. At least that's what I've read.Instanced PvP and Arenas...Last edited by Ironsight; 08-08-2009 at 08:19 PM.
