Black Prophecy unveils new trailer

Game looks shamelessly awesome

I just hope that since its F2P they learn from other companies short comings that there is a decent line between setting your game up to print money and abusing your player base to the point they all just get up and walk away.

You only get one first impression.

April can't get here fast enough. I'ms gone gets mah space fix!

Seems like you can never find a developer to give you everything you want. For example, EVE Online had everything I wanted in a sandbox game except that it wasn't a FPS which was a big letdown for me (even though I still enjoyed the game somewhat). Black Prophecy looks like it has all of the elements I'd want in a space FPS, yet it "seems" to lack many of the aspects of other MMOs (like EVE).

I mean I watch the video and immediately think of massive FPS battles between two factions, yet I'm guessing that won't be the actual case, correct? Can someone clarify this? Is this game all instanced with little or no open universe battles similar to EVE?

Since BP wasn't designed from the start as a F2P game, I too hope they don't go overboard on their cash shop. Reactor says they are going to "redefine" F2P model with BP.

This game has the potential to be AWESOME, I've been looking for a good game successor to Freelancer and Privateer.

Looks like they've taken quite a few elements from Eve. The ability to fly your ship in your cockpit I like.

I wish Black Prophecy well. I'll be sticking with Eve though - given DUST 514, Incarna, and Planetary Development being served soon at shard servers near you. heh.

Basically looks like a Freespace MMO. Which is why IT'S AWESOME. WOW, That looks so fun. Freespace was one of my favorite games, and this can only be great.

Does anyone know if there's missions and how do they work?

anyone remember Earth and Beyond?

That had a nice flight simulator, but the universe was pitifully small, industry was a joke, no market to speak of, etc. I did enjoy the game quite a bit, though.

What i really likei s how you can build ships out of modules. that reminds of a space RTS game that did the same thing for crafting ships. I can't remember the name but I am glad to see it coming to this game.

I don't care if this is f2p now, it looks awesome!

blarg, I wish they'd go Freemium instead of RMT. They could restrict "big" crafting like stations and such to the premium accounts. I think everyone'd be very happy with that arrangement.
