Really? No Wing Commander fans?

There's nothing to say.
There is absolutely no information about the game(other than it is multiplayer)

**Alundil** · 10-05-12, 01:25 PM

Agreed. Wasn't that I was expecting reams of response. I just thought is see some wc nostalgia. Nvm though carry on hehe.

I just remember playing countless hours of Privateer back in the day.

If this turns out to be a persistent privateer like game I'd be stoked.

I signed up early so I think we get some sort of beta access, not sure.

And I am now interested in the game. The trailer was very pretty.

I joined the crowd funding, and now will proceed to forget about the game until it is closer to release to avoid any unbearable anticipation.

Squadron 42 News, Videos, Reviews and Gossip - Kotaku

There is the Kotaku article. 2014 is a ways off, but from what he explained in the gamespot video it sounds amazing. Glad it is NOT an mmo.

Squadron 42 is only the single player element.

Star Citizen is very much an MMO, in that it has a persistent online universe hosted on centralized servers and a cash shop.
The differing feature from other MMOs is that it will also allow people to host their own servers.

It isn't an mmo like EVE though or WoW. There is no sub, you have to buy the game, more like Guild Wars 2 but with private servers for matches and single player components.

I don't think this qualifies it for the classic "MMO" title, it encompasses more than a normal MMO can put out.

Squadron 42 can be multiplayer, you can go through missions with friends from what I understand.

Defining an MMO is hard.

I look at the persistent official server with a cash shop as an MMO.
It just happens to be an MMO that allows unofficial servers.

Qualifying as an MMO doesn't change the game at all, and whether it is an MMO has no influence on my opinion of the game like it apparently does for you. Early trailer & information looks very interesting regardless
