2nd interview with Mike Legg (comming soon)

[superdestroyer89]

can i put i question

[Cain]

Yes you can but we cant guarantee that it will makeit ... give it a try

[Foshjedi2004]

Will the Graphics engine you are using to generate the game be available for general games or only Petro games? Will it be used in follow up games to Civilisation, maybe other such games??

[Zerogravity]

depends if any1 wants to use petro's graphics engine.

if it can support such low end pc systems yet yield those kidna of quality gfx, you can prolyl expect it to be in several other space genre games.

[Foshjedi2004]

Then why aren't they developing it for a superior system. Why for a low grade system. Try and use the new IBM Cell technology!!

[Ghostly_Substance]

How many planets will there be ?

Will the AI for the captured planet help you even if you angered them in previous games ? (People living on the captured planet)

[Stellar_Magic]

We've seen in some of the images that there will be space platforms, will fighters be able to dock with them (To make repairs or recieve replacements)? What about capital ships?

 

Cain: This is something of an aside but what I really wish we could do would be bring ships from orbit into the atmosphere. Supposably the Victory Class could do that, not to mention all the different imperial/old republic ships we've seen enter the atmosphere. That would definitely blur the line between the space battle and the ground one.

[Ismael]

I will try to come up with 14 of your questions and make a vote. Only 7 will be selected and send to Mike. Maybe we will send them this week.

[Foshjedi2004]

We have a Game Designer Here. Finally someone to answer our questions!!

[Cain]

Foshjedi2004 I will give you the job to make the maths here cause Ismael is probably at school and come up with 7 questions. I think Mike said to Ismael 5-7 questions so will stick to 7 in case LEC vetoes 1-2 questions.

Delphi-PG nice to see ya here your dedication to EAW and your happines remainds me of Ismael You have now admin powers and i will inform Ismael to PM you - I hope he agrees

 

Foshjedi2004 they are not allowed to answer questions only LEC can do that, for specific EAW questions anyway. He can only say minimal stuff and especialy not about new things only old. It is in his contract so he is powerless

 

We know this from Mike so always have this in mind

[Ismael]

Delphi-PG welcome to our small Petroglyph home I'm happy to have you here say Hi to the Petro team for us (espacially Mike) and yes I agree with the admin inpowering

 

I have PMed you.

 

Foshjedi2004, Cain is right, always think that newbs will read your words and they may get confused and we don't want them to hope for more that we can give them.

[Foshjedi2004]

Ok So Far the 7 questions seem to be

2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13

2. ~ Can we use ion cannons and tractor beams to disable enemy ships and therefor allowing us to capture them ?

 

3. ~ Can we do battle betwen two planets in an "empty space" map ?. In case we decide to put a fellt with an interdictor in the middle of a tradeline.

 

8. ~ Can ships or fighters deploy anti-missile stuff, contramesures ?

 

9.~ Who is the best EAW player in the alpha testings at Petroglyph.

 

11.~ If we can research new weapons can we upgrade our old ships hulls with them ?

 

12.~ Can we rename our ships ?

 

13.~ Can someone at Petroglyph describe an EAW alpha fleet tactic for our Academy Forum ? Or a land tactic for our Combat Forum.

[Cain]

Cool then we shoold polish this ones and send them Chris or Mike or Tedd to send them to Sluggo and Sluggo to Brett and Brett then all the way back

[Delphi-PG]

[Zerogravity]

edit: lol that's right tim, i'd ip ban your ass in a heart beat

[Ghostly_Substance]

You always beggin to be admin lol

[Ismael]

Send them to Mike and cc me on the e-mail thread. =)

 

 

Delphi I will email them to Mike and what means cc me on the email thread ... ?

 

thread means topic ? (I just now managed to change your rank / I forgot that I had to do that in the user management / and Cain missed it too)

 

The4ELeMeNTz you can have admin powers but they are not much different than the moderator powers that you have why do you will need amin powers ?! it only means more work.

[Zerogravity]

well cuz i have much experience as an admin to forums. i see fit to make changes. you know like .....what customer service does for a store...well i wanna do that for the members, like when they ask for name changes and such. rather then have to bug you and cain about all that. sorta like i would beable to reduce the amount of work done in simplest terms.

[Cain]

Loll I think we have enough admins for now

[Siddus]

I have great news !

Exams are over, Holidays !

 

Well, how is going the interview ?

If it's not too late, my questions are ready now and I'm glad to announce that we have 5,000 viewers for EAW stuff on the website

Also happy to see that we have declared dev, good point for the game

Ok perharps, Delphi will accept an interview by me

( Well, I'd be very interested in asking a few questions ... )

 

I Hope ML will be able to ask us quite quickly

[Foshjedi2004]

I was wondering why the E3 video was solely showing the Empire as the agressor. Why can't we see the Rebels destroying the Death Star??

[Cain]

Ok acording to Ismael the 7 questions have arrived at Mike and he has send them true the normal PR line for aproval

 

We hope they will let Mike reply to all of them
