question about multiplayer and creative mode gameplay

keylocke

ok, i'm looking for feedback from people who already tried the multiplayer. (coz i haven't tried multiplayer yet)

is there a drastic difference between multiplayer vs creative mode gameplay?

ie :

go to creative mode
load both ships.
don't use battle helper
don't use ship AI
gist is : you play both ships competitively against each other
just control both ships as fairly as possible (don't give unfair advantages, no favoritism, etc..)
pros : less lag, no need for good ping.
cons : you're just playing with yourself. so ronery.

multiplayer :

input your feedback here :

anyways, i'm still mostly just waiting for survival features + sandbox exploration + missions to get coded in. i'm trying to get into the mood for multiplayer, but i'm not sure it's worth the hassle of more lag and ping issues (my net speed is crap)

so feel free to write in as much pros and cons you can for multiplayer experience. wow me plz.

keylocke Currently multiplayer is just the creative battle helper but other people can connect and control their ships.

In the future there will most likely be a few more modes with Co-op and Creative being on the Trello.

The internet requirements for multiplayer seem to be pretty low. While hosting it dint seem to stress my mediocre internet so I'd imagine you could play on slow internet.

Hopefully the extra gamemodes won't take as long to get added as basic multiplayer did, as it required some large reworks to the games systems.

minimurgle well, i could probably emulate most people's combat "strategies", based on their ship load out.

ie : i can easily manually adjust someone's kiting range based on the amount/position of their weapon modules on their ship in creative mode.

so technically, i could already emulate both pvp and co-op in creative mode (just playing by myself and using the pause button whenever i need to adjust orders.)

i could also easily switch between different game speed and pause liberally.

is pause button/game speed available for multiplayer?

keylocke Nope. Speed can only be set in the lobby.
