Will patch 4.5 finally give us cockpits?

Starshatter: The Gathering Storm extends the classic space sim by combining fighter and starship combat in a single dynamic campaign game.

What we do know, however, is that practically every space game ever made has cockpits.
Incorrect! There are no cockpits in Freespace serie. Neither does Starfleet Command serie, Homeworld serie, Rules of Engagement serie, Master of Orion serie...
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

If you write sims in capitals you probably mean "SIMs" like "Orbiter" or the "Microsoft Space Simulator"...

Let me guess: those games don't have cockpits? And neither does Space Combat or I've Found Her

They do have cockpits, at least many ships were built with them, but they are a LOT more sim than game, unlike Starshatter that is more game than sim.

Incorrect Matti,

I guess you didn't read my earlier post, in this thread, where I said...

"I can only think of two other space sims that didn't have cockpits and that was Freespace 1 & 2"

Don't you just feel silly when this kinda thing happens? lol :)

Maybe I did and just forgot it [:'(]

How silly you feel yourself about your statement: "practically every space game ever made has cockpits."
It describes just right your inexperience with space games. Besides, what use of cockpits would be in space games like Homeworld and Master of Orion?

well if you really want to get technical that statement is still correct. I remember a cutsene in MOO that showed a cockpit. infact if all you have to do is reference a cockpit with the game then its really not hard to place a cockpit with every space game out there.

But you know damn well that is now what he meant :)

Sigh Matti,

Give it up, it's pretty obvious that I'm talking about space sims and not Real Time Strategy games. Don't clutch at straws and dig yourself deeper into a hole.

Anyway enough of this banter, it serves no purpose.
