No unfortunately, Chris Roberts doesn't own the IP for Wing Commander.

Excellent video. I like the force reaction feature!
Especially when you are inside a ship. SO even though a ship like a carrack can probably hold 30 people inside standing, only about 6 to 8 are actual crew and people that have seats to make sure they dont jerk and fall over.
Brilliant, this is why this game is going to blow every other one away.
side note: Dual universe was meant to go on open beta yesterday and they cant even get there website working for people to sign up for it and no one has gotten there beta keys either LOL FAIL

attention to detail heheI'm surprised this video hasn't broken the internet...falling over AND walking about in a ship!
I absolutely love this game but I'm bugging out for a bit. This patch is appalling for me. Very few 30k's which is nice but so many ship and ground vehicle retrieval problems. Basically have to claim every time I login and even then it's 50:50 if the ship is retrievable without flying somewhere else to claim there. I think in 3 days I've earned less than a thousand credits as I'm spending most of my time trying to get myself setup. 3.9 was not this bad. Definitely not leaving for good though as the whole thing is simply wonderful when it works!

Are you sure? I heard mark hamill was going to be in SQ42 so must be reprising the Christopher Blair character????
No it's a different character, this isn't Wing Commander. Entirely different IP etc.
EA own the IP for Wing Commander from what I remember after buying up the studio (Origin?) who had it. Chris Roberts from what I gather still has movie rights to it but understandably isn't going to make a sequel
Hamill plays an old commander in Star Citizen, you could say it's the same character with a different name though.. will be interesting to see (if it ever gets released) what the story is.

Weird, roadmap has always had caveats listed and shown since they first ever produced one, even that old style they had.

Seeing as Squadron 42 is a single player game, how is it going to work when it comes to a beta?
Or is it not linear? So we can play, but no story missions?
internal beta
Soldato
There is no way SQ42 is close to beta, at earliest will be this time next year. We've not even got working missiles, full flight model sorted, AI stuff finished up etc so they really can't be hitting Beta yet with what's done.
Soldato
AI will work better in a single player shared and the flight mechanics are great now!
Soldato
Indeed AI will but they are still working on mechanics for them as per the current roadmap and discussions they have had from even getting the AI needing to reload to changing the way they interact with the world.
Flight mechanics are okay now, it's a first step and they have said for instance on missiles this won't be done for the next step till at least Q1 2021 so how would you be able to get something to beta when missiles are not even working as intented.
Along with still needing to sort out a lot in flight mechanics in terms of they have discussed recently about reworking all the thrusters as they are not setup correctly in game, we still don't have components in ships working or being worked on currently where they are still attached to the external of the ship and not internal where slots are.
We are meant to be getting decompression of ships and similar, push/pull of character when EVA and such forth. All those are needed for SQ42 gameplay to work.
Those are just some examples of elements still needed sorting/adding as per the Devs comments over last few months. So yeah I'll stand by my Beta this time next year and release for the November ish period 2021 assuming Beta goes okay then.
