TenTonHammer Review

The group size has changed, now allowing up to ten players in a single group.

The most captivating part of the station was its clan missions. These missions will allow a clan to join together for what can only be described as an epic battle. Battleships will be deployed, which will have several wings. These wings can then be assigned different roles. For example, one wing will be charged with defense of the battleship while another wing will be on patrol duty, engaging dogfights with patrolling enemies. Heavy fighters could be sent in to attack the opposing battleship. Clan missions are designed to be intense and strategic and will require good team coordination to accomplish.

In addition, the item shop will contain some visual-only modifications for player ships. The options are many, so the look of player ships will vary greatly.

There is currently no death penalty in the game. Downed players will simply respawn near their death point. Discussions are in place about whether or not to include a penalty.

The next wave of beta testers will be invited in late September with open beta scheduled for November and the game will be available in German and English at launch. Servers will be available in both North America and in Europe to ensure good ping times for players.

It IS still in development, and will probably be changed by launch.
