I'm excited to share some news with you about the development of a space game/engine I've been following for nearly 5 years now.

 

If you haven't yet heard of Infinity, its most significant feature is the procedural planet generation and rendering engine at the core of the game, allowing players to fly seamlessly from planetside to space station, through an asteroid belt, and back down through atmo again without a single loading screen. This is combined with a beautiful and powerful rendering engine that uses the latest techniques (physically based rendering, advanced shadowing routines, HDR, etc) to produce realistically-biased visuals. But don't take my word for it (take theirs!):

 

Edit: To those that are interested, please check out the kickstarter. Any help is appreciated.

This will be quite different from Elite though. If you want massive battles from atmosphere to space this is the one.

I looked at elite dangerous and start citizen but the content packs are stupid expensive. Definitely P2W.

My biggest disappointment with elite dangerous is the high level of instancing, and how it pretty much makes any level of in depth player to player interaction impossible. Star citizen is likely to be the same way. I realize that crazy cool player interactions is like half of SC's marketing point, what with multicrew ships and wandering around cities planet side and stuff. Instancing is still going to cripple any sort of large scale interaction that would really make a "living, breathing, universe" interesting. I hope I'm wrong though.

 

I really just want a space sim where I can actually pilot my craft, but with all the depth of eve. So like player factions "owning" portions of space, running the economy, forming angry mobs to blow up a station. I don't want to show up for the battle of Giggapuddi Port, only to find out that half the other faction is in another instance, or form a patrol to take out some aggressors, just to never find them as they continue to take out single targets that make for easier instance grouping.

 

Infinity: Battlescape does look like it's got lots of potential, and if it can pull of a large enough scale, I'll be there. (I mean, I'll probly be there either way, because heck yeah space)

Super duper stoked for NMS, looks soooooo good. But like you mentioned it serves an entirely different purpose.

ED doesn't have any of that junk. Only think in the shop is skins and pre orders for bobble heads. It's not even like hawken where you can buy credits to unlock things. You have to earn everything you get in game. Granted you will have to buy xpacs, but welcome to gaming right?

They released a new video which shows off the moons in the current prototype. Looks like any place would make for a good screenshot.

The devs did a livestream last Sunday and will do another one next Sunday. https://youtu.be/Nu9XvSgCXNc?t=32m22s

They'll be answering questions from the chatroom.
