Scale

[minetime43]

So what's the scale of the game I mean you talk about blowing up star systems

[Rob]

The scale is a bit like Sins of a solar empire with various star systems dotted about connected by the quantum fracture network, and inside each system will be a large playing area where all the action happens.

Oh kinda like if Sins of the solar empire and EA1 had a child together?

that sounds so epic! i really hope there is an buy in alpha!

[Salem]

Why do I see just a group of small ships fighting each other then suddenly a monolith comes out of a Quantum tunnel and starts flat lining all of the smaller ships like Starwars?

[Rob]

The Monolith is the EA2 equivalent of the Gigantilator. You can only have 1 (if you are lucky). While on the bridge the CEO will be able to press the deploy button where it the whole front section opens up to reveal a giant laser which after a charging time... "You may fire when ready". However the Monolith will have one flaw in its design (all exhaust ports have covers on them) which you will be able to exploit and blow it up before it fires.

i saw a screenshot once that had 2 gigantilators from the same guy, and if the monolith is the equivalent of a gigantilator like you said, then that means there could be 2 monoliths from the same guy at the same time.




might want to look into that thing there

maybe another way is to destroy the laser or bridge before it fires
