Jumpgate Evolution Delayed

I can't wait for this game. EVE is too slow for me and X3 too complex. I have the feeling this will be right on the spot. A bit like Freelancer and Freespace I hope.

I hope this game doesn't have the steep learning curve of EVE.

Anyone who hasn't looked into it should at least give X3: Terran Conflict a look. No multiplayer, but the combat is really engaging, and has a huge economy system, and beautiful graphics.

Also, I'd highly recommend the "Combat Mod 3" for it, as it is simply awesome, among many other hundreds of scripts and mods for the game.

A mod I just found that allows you to give voice commands. Now if only I had a mic... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5_BrlSMxZA&feature=related

Things you MUST know about the game.
1. HUGE learning curve, but it's one of those things where the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. It is MUCH, MUCH more rewarding getting your first capital ship than winning a hundred matches of TF2 in the row, as MVP. The time put into it is worth it. You just need to jump the hurdle.
2. Have a good computer, this will not run on laptops or pentium 4 computers. It doesn't support multiple cores, but quad core computers are faster per clock than older computers, so even with only 1 core running at 2.3 GHz, will run faster than a 3.2GHz Core 2 Duo for example.
3. Read online guides for "noobs" if you get stuck. There is nothing to be ashamed of, everyone was a noob at one point, and it's not cheating by any means.
4. The game is not really about the storyline. Play it for the "sandbox" mode. Example: I'm planning on eventually building a self sufficient base in an asteroid belt, amassing a fleet of ships, and invading a neighboring sector just so I can, haha.
5. Explore! The place is incredibly detailed, down to the space stations. If you ever do play though, 2 words..."Kingdom's End"
6. Take the time to learn how to maneuvor, trade, control other ships, etc. I can NOT stress this enough
7. Have fun!

This game has more to do with Freelancer and the Descent series than EVE Online.
EVE is an online simulation game. This isn't. I just hope that it doesn't get canceled ala Auto Assault.
Hopefully NetDevil put a bit more emphasis on storyline/quests and group oriented content this time.

This should not come as surprise to anyone who has been following the game. The last few dev diaries have said that they were working on ship handling and new designs, that's not something you do when supposedly a few months out from release.

I suspect Fallen Earth is another that will not make it's June (2nd quarter) release. For a game that will supposedly release within a month, they have been dead quiet.

wouldnt mind the complexity of eve online with this just hate the amount of time it takes to advance

I wish more developers would listen to fans and not hesitate to delay a product to make it better. Good job NetDevil, you've earned my $50 (ok.. I was gonna buy it regardless).

I talked to the Devs at a comiccon, it's basically WoW in space. Fly around, run mission, grind grind, put a few parts together, achieve next level of manufacturing skill (leatherworking becomes carbon-fiber armor?).

I went to a meet & greet for this game last summer. Granted, that was 9-10 months ago - But from what I saw, I was not totally impressed. It ran well and looked good - But the game seemed way to simple. It didn't have any decent crafting - And the lead development dude showing us the game said they weren't planning on making it a very sandboxy game. It's mostly an arcade shooter with a bunch of different areas to go, and with a bunch of different players. Other then that, there isn't much to it. The game, from what I saw, basically looked like Auto Assault in space.
