suggestion: Survival Game Mode
Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2012 7:29 am
Hey loving the beta so far, it made me stay up till 1am last night and i am so tired today... lol.
Anyway I was wondering if you guys will be adding a survival mode to the game similar to the alpha onlive game. In addition to the main campaign.
The way i would invision it would be that the only difference is that there is no map or sector screen, it could be given a basic storyline ie. a ship has a prototype jump engine that when tested warps them into a random sector. After that all they can do is keep jumping to new sectors.
Essentially when they press jump instead of choosing a new world to go to and having control over the map, the ship just randomily chooses one of the many possible events. So ypou can go backwards only forwards. Also you wouldnt have fuel in a game like this, only one difficulty setting (hard) and maybe a score same as the main campaign.
Just a thought, i hope its something youll consider adding, as would be a lot of fun in addition to the main campaign, its higher difficulty would make it more of an extra game than the main game.
