New interview with Simon on VE3D

[Snowcrash]

Jube from Voodoo Extreme had several interesting questions for Simon about Black Prophecy and so he did not hesitate to answer them.

Check out the full interview and three exclusive screenshots on Voodoo Extreme!

Thanks for the interview, lots of good infos. I so want to play this game. Can't you just let me into the F&F testing? I even promise to keep my mouth shut

very nice, at the good moment! Thanks.

According to my recent DNA test I am Christian Schuett's long lost son. Can I be in the Employees and Family Beta please, Daddy Snow?

As for the interview, some new and some old stuff. Biggest bit of news for me was that at this time Clan stations are not conquerable but they may be in the future. Also it's interesting that Level cap is at 100 for the moment and I wonder what is the general play time in hours to get to that.

Thanks for the interview, Seminus.

Excellent Interview Reakktor, really nice to hear about all the things that have been going on, shame about conquerable clan stations, although I can understand where that idea comes from, don't want one mega clan ruining all the fun for all the other clans, everyone should get a slice of the pie etc.

Still can't get over how sexy the explosions are! Amazing - can't wait to be testing *cough* playing *cough*

Thank you KK for the lots of new information ...

Ok, so it's been confirmed that station walking IS planned for a future content addition. Happy? Now stop asking for it.

Also, "Nonetheless we have this on our Top-5 “Things we would like to see ingame” list for any future updates" felt like a throwback to the community, and I'll admit that I chuckled. Good read, and thanks.

Very informative iview - Felt good to read some new bits about the state of the game and its features. Many thanks for giving us again some useful information

I have a question regarding an answer of Simon though. About the rewards from a pvp battle he replied:

This depends on the type and scale of the PvP battle. On top of the regular loot from destroyed enemy ships you will receive specific loot as a mission reward such as new weapons, ship parts, resources and in-game currency.

So does this mean that we get loot from destroyed player ships? And if yes, something that was previously equipped and hasn't been destroyed during the fight or generated loot depending on ship type and player level? Though I suppose I get the usual "this hasn't been finalized yet / we can't give you any detail" reply, I thought it was worth a try

I like the idea that station walking is being planned... I find sitting outside a station trading less realistic...

Also good interview, and some nice new eye candy too!!! great stuff Reakkor!

No, dissapointed really. Rather than getting ooddles more playable, useable content and gameplay features, we'll have KK spending vast sums on making a fluff feature. Ugh.

(I'll take back any complaints if "station walking" also includes brilliant tactical-shooter boarding action which doesnt undermine or derrail the core gameplay. But I think that's perhaps just dreams.)
