Should I build this game ?

[Abstractness]

The game will be about light spacecraft combat with forward pointing weapons. The game will have Newtonian Physics. Your spacecraft will have an FBW-system which makes the flight easier to control. If you can handle manual flight, feel free to deactivate the FBW-system.

This is just a physics test flight:

It will have complex maps which are hard to rapidly fly trough without crashing into some obstacle. Artificial speed limits suck, we're not going to make them. So if you fly too fast it's your own fault. Same with angular velocity. We want to keep the players inside of the map, so if someone flies off into the empty space he will be an easy target for tracking missiles.

There are no dense asteroid fields in reality, so our maps will be mostly man made, such as: a big space ship port, or a big asteroid with canyons and mining tunnels, or a construction site in space ...

It won't be a game about traveling and exploring, it will just be about skill based fighting.

But I don't know if I'm going to build this game because I have no idea how many people would like to play it.

I'm all for realistic space games. But some of the manoeuvres there still seem unrealistic. Mainly turns, and this could just be the camera angle. But it has potential.

Also, welcome to the KSP forums!

Looks very interesting and continue certainly, but I think this is in the wrong area of the forum.

It should probably be in 'off-topic'.

[Cykyrios]

Moved since it is not KSP-related.

All the best for your project, though, Newtonian physics space battles sound fun (and the optional stability system is a good idea)

[The Destroyer]

Yes, yes yes!

[1001sd]

It looks really cool

So build it, I would say. As I can see that you are using unity (right?), I would like you to make an osX build too, to us mac users

[mrrpamplemousse]

have a lot of potential, but I think I already see something simmilar...

[satcharna]

Sounds a lot like Star Conflict.

[ZedNova]

Get a team together and start a small kickstarter.

[Jones-250]

I support your project, go ahead. I must say that it seems quite promising.

[RocketTurtle]

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes! Also, how's the destruction system? I like good destruction!

[1001sd]

Do you plan on taking money for it when it is done? If yes, about how much?

[Redjoker]

This sounds a lot like evochron mercenary with just combat.

Yes it's unity3d like KSP

There will be no magic shields. If you don't pay attention then someone can blow you up in about two seconds.

and with a lot more obstacles to hide or crash into.

I meant if your ship gets hit in the wing, will it all explode, or will the wing brake off?

in the first version it will probably just explode but if enough people enjoy the game then breakable parts will soon be added.
