I don't get the pseudo-realtime comment. It's totally realtime. I took my friggate up against a couple of well-armed industrial ships the other night and it took me 3 tries to get a good configuration of missles/lasers/guns to take them out.
I locked on from a distance, set my ship to orbit one of them at 1k, and when I got in range I opened up with everything I had. My medium pulse laser was draining my capacitor too much and I need that energy to replenish my shields when they drop too low for comfort. I shut down the beam weapon. I still had missles and guns to finish him off, but my ammo was low. I had to fly off to a safe distance and let my capacitor charge back up for another run. He was badly damaged so I wasn't too worried. I had to rely on my laser because my ammo was low. It was a race to keep my shields up and my laser firing but I managed to take him out and the blast destroyed the freighter next to him.
There is no comparison to 5 toons standing in a circle repeating the same series of 5 animations beating the numbers out of some new version of a dragon.
As a beta tester don't you think you should read all about the game on the gemini site before you even log in?
I've been playing for a while and I see the same questions over and over and over again and the answers are in the faq on the page you clicked through to download the game. Stop whining about being a beta tester. Why did you apply?
