I'm not sure where i heard this, but a while ago, i saw that there was a suggestion that quantus could be based in both space and on the planet's surface, but recently, i've been seeing things that point to this being a surface-based game

so here's my question: is quantus going to be just a surface-based game, or is it going to be both a space and a surface game?
cause i think it would be really cool to have both

an idea for switching between planet and space: transports could carry troops to and from the surface of the planet
there could also be multiple planets, with space having sectors like it does in Allegiance, and with planets having much smaller sectors on the surface

The current plan is just planet based. We already have allegiance for space.

Though it would be cool to have a Freelancer like system of entering and exiting space, allowing us to possibly encorporate both games into one, we have more than we can handle as it is /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

maybe in a long long off expansion pack!

Maybe Quantus could be incorporated in some future iteration of Allegiance Wars, with the two teams having to play a regular Allegiance game to secure a portion of the map, and then a game of Quantus to secure a specific planet in the region to gain some additional benefits. ^_^

Something we should certanly consider is fighting inside orbital instalations, which of course would cause all kinds of interesting effects with failing gravity and launch bay doors opening at the "wrong" moments. But also adding a real orbital section would probably be too much work at the start. That doesn't mean that the development team should ignore the option when coding though. Its always better to have the option to add it later on.

Orbital installations would add a unique dimension to the game, but they would have to be completely effect-based, it depends whether we will be able to actually see them when you look up into the sky, but you certainly wont be able to launch from them.

But then it brings the question of how they would be destroyed, I guess we could make them alien stations that we have to build a certain struction like a signal tower in order to control them, but then would that be deviating too far from the concept of Alleg?

I would like to open the possibility of seeing a newbie tumbling through space in a tank.

With Strauss playing in the background?
