Squadron 42.

In the style of the Wing Commander Series and Privateer.

You play a pilot in the military. First person Space Sim. You fly ships, fight bad guys and the best part is, A FULL RENDERED COCKPIT!!! And, and, it'll be PC ONLY!!!

&--#60;iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/51135962" width="488" height="275" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen&--#62;&--#60;/iframe&--#62;

Yup. When this hits Kickstarter I'm ALL in!!

Please discuss. If you have ever played Wing Commander you can tell why I'm excited.

Yeah, definitely wrong thread. My keyboard always seems to go back when I click to post. Did you at least watch the video?

I did and I have to say that cockpit looks amazing! I'm also interested in this dynamically simulated system he talks about. Looks like something I might have to check out when it comes around :biggrin:

Also, is he making this all by himself?

I don't think he's doing by himself but Roberts Space Industries is his company. Chris Roberts is a God when it comes to space simulators.

Quarter way to being funded. They have 500k raised. It was in a news post somewhere. I'm going to donate.

My brother is going to donate for himself and I. Because I'm currently poor. He hasn't done it yet though. He's waiting for the site to officially be back up. I think he's going for the $60 tier and I told him that since he's paying for me that whatever he feels is right for me I wouldn't complain.

So some MMO Space Sim...
