Yes it does. There are frequent players, as well as some who visit it to check in. There is community Discord server for talks, it even managed to drag a lot of the attention from forums and Steam discussions onto itself, so those became quieter. As it goes, a reminder - advertisement reserved for 1.0.

Oops, my bad, was not checking the whole channel often enough, a bit busy. Love your persistence btw! The view you ask for is called the Tactical view, default key in QWERTY would be the tilde (`). You can bind it to any handy key or button as well. To fly this fast - accelerate for longer, really. Warp drive in I:B is a more convenient method of reaching high speeds, but it is possible to get to speed of light with main thrusters alone. Sadly, but understandably - no relativistic effects. Still, flying at high speeds is playable, to an extent even combat is possible, though best we've had was below 1 km/s. Details are still explored, and in the meantime impulse speeding is a go-to method of transportation, especially under warp jamming. Even carriers do it. To be able to fly like this: • Bind all 6 flight axis to your control methods of choice, so that you can always steer your ship on all 6; • Bind throttle axis for use with Flight Assist - Throttle is not main thrusters directly, that would be fwd/back axis, throttle is a Flight Assist speed setting; • Bind boost somewhere handy; • Bind Flight Assist toggle somewhere handy - key for stepping over the combat speed limit; • Now apply thrust with those direct axis you bound earlier, in the direction you want to accelerate. • Turn Flight Assist off for your ship to maintain momentum. • Practice a lot, so it becomes as easy as regular driving. Major part of the skill is mental modelling. Plotting a path, choosing how much to speed and when to stop. Vector math and Newtonian motion are worth refreshing. There are also in-game tutorials now, complete with racing courses for flight tutorials, definitely worth playing as well. Hope it helps, sorry for long reply.

@@random_passerby4672 thank you <3 that helps alot :D thank you <3

Thank you! Still on lookout for how to properly share said skill as well. We want more awesome battles, not some dominance, right? :D

@@random_passerby4672 yeah i always want to switch team if i see u on the enemys side 😆 haha. and thank you for sparing my life last time idk if u remember u was just behind me with a bomber .. i never press the jump key so fast 😆 (keep praying; let me jump). i know u could kill me u was just 5km behind me 😭

and how do u use this sort of tactic map *_*

Accelerating continuously. This is the lightest capital ship, so it naturally reaches its speeds fastest. But so can any ship, some eventually, some already. I bound all 6 axis to keyboard even in capital ship control scheme, as well as had Flight Assist off for a while, so that the speed does not drop if I don't want it to. Honestly, still exploring what exactly does the skill consists of myself, but there definitely is trajectory planning mixed in, but for now no idea how to share it better than suggesting practice. Practice travel with long burns and brakes, with minimal coasting in-between, then try turning it into a curved trajectory, then try to chain them up one after another smoothly. In-game tutorials with racing courses are good for practicing exactly that.

@@random_passerby4672 i think when i commented this it was more of a rhetorical "how??" but i really appreciate the detailed response. i was certain you had a full bridge crew playing with you or at least a 6deg hotas. when i turn off flight assist in a capital it's like i turn off my brain as well. very impressive, thanks for the reply and advice.

This is Tactical view, default key is tilde (or gravis, I guess, mine shows up as `).

@@random_passerby4672 thank you <3 😁

I’m wondering the same thing, perhaps PVE mode to play with friends against the computer.

Not right now. There is only multiplayer and are handful of servers but all fully filled with bots. Campaign will come later in the future.

@@KORmatrixmod thanks for the reply.

There now can be, just is not made yet - Mission Runtime has been added to the game, allows creating scenarios with .xml, but for now only with directly editing files. We haven't found all the syntax yet, but I already love how much is thought of in the findings already. There is an editor planned, as well as documentation, more tutorials, and then - we'll se what more would come. Forgot a thing - this does let you run and play the game while being offline, yes, maybe later on with friendly co-op, but we'll see.

Mm, they're good, they are meant to survive top-down cruiser attacks long enough to escape at most possible hurry.

Those are easy to destroy with the right weapons, the chosen cruiser loadout was more about endurance than dishing out real damage!

CPU: Intel Core I3-3220, 3.30 GHz (_it shows sometimes lol_); GPU: NVida GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, 4GB VRAM; RAM: 8GB DDR3;

Good.

In indeed was! This bomber loadout is for pure piloting and fighting, after all. Often there is no time to stop and plan. Would have been very useful to be in a group with someone else commanding. Also, if I remember it right, the soundtrack might become officially available after game launch. Can't remember where the mention was right now though.

Yes it would be good to leave it in, because it does fit. The carrier player did his part in deciding the battle outcome, and there were potential ways to crack the carrier. Timespan to do so being too short is what gave extra decisive power for that move. HAs there been more time, it would have been a carrier's loss, probably.

I wonder if this mechanic ever got changed?

I am betting some sniper cruisers in orbit could have taken it out.

They can, if they manage to stay alive. Sometimes they open fire on big ships by themselves.

В Infinity: Battlescape - да, останется боевая составляющая. Она так и была задумана изначально, правда. Есть надежда что другие составляющие можно будет проверить в последующих играх. С точки зрения технической реализации не так уж и много придётся поменять, но просто на это ещё средства придётся добыть.

@@random_passerby4672 всегда всё упирается в деньги... В любом случае я готов как говорится поддержать проект... и многие кто согласятся на это. Ведь Элита - мертва... Стар Ситезен - вечно что то в нём делают... Нужен сейчас достойный космосим. Который бы смог заменить Элиту. Думаю многие ждут... Необъятность вселенной, обнять космос... Встретить новые горизонты планет, исследования дальних уголков. Жаль... Эх был бы я богат) вложился бы в новый проект.

@@random_passerby4672 вообще не мне судить... Но я полагаю что можно сделать на основе представленного новую главу. В принципе... Начать хотя бы с одной системы. Физика - шикарная, а это уже большой плюс. Добавить возможность изучать... Добывать ресурсы, бродить пешком по планетам, или на транспорте. Сальваж, биологию, придумать битвы за аванпосты. Отшлифовать эту систему... И уж потом делать галлактику. Создать фракции, расы, Возможно какого то общего врага... Тут фантазии и вариаций куча. В общем... Было бы здорово!

Полностью согласен, это даже совпадает с мечотй студии разработчиков и игроков! :D Но такой вопрос. По перечисленным вами мечтами космосим уже кое-что напоминает. Должен ли он быть похож на Элиту, если он предназначен её заменить? Мне очень кажется, что предложенная идея похожа на общую мечту участвовать в освоении космоса лично, правильно понимаю?

@@random_passerby4672 не думаю что он должен быть похож на Элиту. Но... 1. Экономика должна управляться Игроками. Спрос и предложение. 2.Нужны фракции. Можно назвать Рассы. Пять, шесть рас с своими кораблями, центрами. 3.Конкурентная борьба между Расами. Захват звёздных систем, как в экономической войне - к примеру Блокада - системы, так и физический захват - битвы за систему. 3.Каждая Раса людей имеет свои технологии, но их можно устанавливать на корабле другой расы - что делает звездолет где то сильнее, где то слабее. 3.Экономика - это возможность как майнинга, так и сальваж, так и постройка модулей и кораблей. Но думаю здесь особо не нужно прям убиваться... 4.Игрок может не учавствовать во всём этом. Он может быть нейтрален. Но в таком случае у него нет привелегий к технологии. 5.Игрок может просто свалить из общей локации далеко за пределы, и пататься выживать там изучая миры как один... Так и с группой единомышленников. 6.Общий враг. Нужен человечеству общий враг. При чем Рассы могут объедениться... А могут просто наблюдать как стаи инопланетян разоряют планеты и системы соседа. 7.Кланы разных рас могут заключать договоры и объединение против инопланетян. 8.Корабль игрока - это его дом. Корабли должны быть дорогими. И сам смысл модернизации должен с каждым разом всё больше и больше влюблять игрока в свой корабль. Должна быть возможность покупки своего места дома, жилища на станции или на планетах - чем ближе к столице тем дороже. Фронтир должен быть опасен. Не просто опасен... А наводить ужас от посещения его и требовать от пилота всё его мастерство в пилотаже так и возможности самого корабля. Вообще, если нужно я могу написать Лор игры. Или процессы которые должны происходить в игре. Элита - пуста. В ней ни чего не происходит. Стар Ситезен упёрся в механики игры, упуская из виду саму прелесть свободы космических скитаний.

There are logistics and recon, but underdeveloped versions of them indeed. For now, hopefully, ideas have been flying in game's Discord server for a while. Corvettes and carriers give limited repairs and resupplies, that's pretty much it for logistics, and for recon there is a detection range system, however with how and where battles happen, sneaking up undetected has limited value. Or more like it has its value unexplored - those require serious players at controls, where there would be point in not being found out or be repaired in time in the first place. Preparations for that are underway.

Its PVP and PVE in the same world, you will come across AI and player in battle and apparently the AI is good

The first one is co-op with PHilbeRt! and MeckieMesser iirc, and old one, so indeed there were not many times this ship was deployed. It's the most expensive SP-wise, with most vulnerability and least own firepower, with only major feature being an onboard spawnpoint, which only spawns player atm. It's going to be addressed in the upcoming carrier update, with squads the ship can deploy. So currently it's the most boring ship for solo and small co-op play, even with its features and occasional cool moments like in this vid. To survive, it has to shy away from battles, so it has less of an effect, and when it can see some action, that same action can be its undoing. The ship literally relies on all allies to come to it, follow it or its commands, and avoid being jumped by enemies. And that is hard even knowing that AI and new players don't fly ships to their limits yet. One or two cruisers, or a squad of bombers, or four or so destroyers maybe can warp right to and obliterate it in about a minute.

@@random_passerby4672 It would be cool if the carrier had a squadron of drones it could command, would definitely spice up the gameplay and make destroying carriers much more difficult

It appears that this is exactly what would be presented in an upcoming update for the carrier, yeah.

And later on, this was exactly what has been delivered. Come enjoy directing angry bees! :D

There certainly were many players at Early Access launch: th-cam.com/video/JMA9d_oblkk/w-d-xo.html More recently, more players join together at community events. It is best to organize beforehand at the moment though.

Average online is about 6 indeed, players are waiting for game updates and mainly leaving Early Access. Those who frequent it have a personal interest to play, myself included. There are some who visit it occasionally, see it being unfinished still, and shortly leaving. Meanwhile, the state is playable already, more is planned to come. Today I lost my cruiser to another player's cruiser, so there are players to fight against at times.

Hello again! The scope creep is mainly the result of players asking, and right after it - feedback on features already available. Currently on Discord there are tons of discussions that entertained expanding scope, and dev team responses mainly aim to limit it. 1.0 version has to be pushed soon, with minimal distractions, that is the idea. If it had proper feature creep, then creating exploration mechanics, visual stuffs, new ships, space legs, so on, would have been underway. But nope - closest thing seems to be carrier gameplay, as the ship sits neglected. Additionally, for a scam the amount of effort and commitment is too extreme, so your claim is unsubstituted.

@@random_passerby4672Given that they just finished the carrier gameplay and it's pretty damn spiffy, I'd say this is spot-on.

It's only boring if you don't like combat :)

From what I have seen from various videos, the game is kind of cool, jumping from planet to planet and blowing things up! No offense man, just people are different and like different games :)

It depends. It is not the lifelike sandbox MMO with ships many people want so much. It's more like a combat part of it. You can explore planets and land on stations, but everything there is combat-related, and since it is Early Access, part of it is yet to be finalized. So no non-battle missions, there are not even a single side mission yet, although the latter ones are planned. One recent comparison found out by FuzyWazaBear is that Infinity: Battlescape is a different take on what DarkSpace still does - a match-based team multiplayer strategic shooter, but now with Newtonian physics and more. Also a note - I know even less what is your taste in spacegames, so my advice may be too limited on this front. No worries - there is a discussion on more variety in the game on I-Novae Discord, so the team is in the know :D

But there the artillery cruisers are easily taken down by direct attack from any class that gets close enough. Now tactical cruisers(healers) there are the best, compared to other games in the category.

@Alliguierg Silva just saying I love the concept

nah plasma broadside XD so much fun thats what we need

Man, Dreadnought was/is pretty fun and well-done. Too bad the playerbase is so small, but it is free and still fun to bash the AI players in matches, or queue for 4-10 min for a true pvp match.

Blast from the past... I need to do some of these again, and with team included, of course :D

Gladly! Only need to sort out some extra problems first. But it's good that while the game is still being developed, the flight mechanics remain solid, making said guide possible.
