Also on the multiplayer part any one here play or purchase wing commander arena I may be the only one. I personally didn't like the game but I love the ideas behind it. It would be very cool if you guys could recreate some of those levels in Saga especially the boneyard level with stationary astroids with the kilrathi face in it and the broken up ships. I think it would be badass flying in and around some stationary astroids to add variety to the freespace ones. Some of the other game modes in arena would be awsome to reproduce in saga even though that game takes place in the future time period be somthing fun for multiplayer.
Well, recreation of anything the abomination callled WC Arena has to offer is out of the question. However, Arena isn't special or introduces anything new to the multiplayer, therefore you will probably find many things in Saga as well.
Dogfight Levels for example will include lots of ships and objects to hide behind or chase each other around. We are also planning to include several coop scenarios and more complex TvT.
FS2 multiplayer was okay, but nothing special really. I've worked on the multiplayer for TheBabylonProject, which I think is vastly superior. What worked well there, will make it into Saga in an ever better form.
However, keep in mind that nothing is set in stone thus far. Everything is WIP and things might change.
Only thing certain is, that we will give you a good, non-arcade multiplayer part.
