  1. Eh. This may or may not work. It won't be STALKER, it will be a copy. So you will have different factions, the whole Chernobyl thing is out in favor of a new McGuffin...

     

    I'm not saying it will fail, I'm just saying it's like as if the team that made the X-Wing games then went and made the Wing Commander games. Sure, it's similar, but it's not the original.


  2. Fighter Ops is the biggest scam and Vaporware in the sim world today.

    4 freakin' years ago and what?

     

    Anyone see any secondaries? Anyone see any secondaries? Didn't think so.

     

    You mean 4 years since THAT interview. The actual game was announced

    in fact it was in the Spring of 2005

     

    Yeah, if after 7.5 years you've got nothing to show...you're not doing it.


  3. Orbital hotels might not be that far off, was talk of using inflatable modules a few years ago, can't really remember who was planning it though. More of a financial hurdle than a technical one at this point. As for point to point flights I'll be stunned if it ever happens, the cost of going suborbital let alone orbital just isn't economically viable for civil puroses when compared with convetional airliners.

    That's Bigelow.

     

    Concorde cost more, but had too many restrictions. Twice as fast in return for MORE than twice the price, tiny seats/limited passenger capacity, and limited routes to "cross Atlantic".

    Build a Concorde II the size of a 787 that can cross the Pacific at M2.5 for less than 2x the cost of a regular plane ticket and it will work.
