Please don't have multiplayer.........there is too many that are and disappear without a trace. I personally think that this concentration on MP is one of the reasons that computer gaming is going down the tubes, that and overinflated prices trying to fund the continuous developement and maintainace that a lot of games coming out now cost publishers and devs so much

The game is set to be single player for the moment.

Most games used to have a direct connect multiplayer mode. IE a friend would host the game and you'd connect to them to play vs or free for all. Only modern games force multiplayer to go through matchmaking servers and do constant patches after the fact.
Similarly game series like Warcraft, starcraft and command&conquer all thrived due to their multiplayer.

Its actually strange to me that people don't play against their friends in games anymore. Like people forgot how to lose or to handle friendly ribbing during gameplay.

I'm fine with the game not having multiplayer. But i do feel like it'll only go so far without multiplayer. AI is difficult to code such that it's a consistent challenge. I just know that realistically none of my friends are picking this game up. So it's unlikely I'd have anyone to play with anyways.

It’s not MP that is the problem. Arguably, peer to peer MP is always a cool thing to have and should easily keep a game alive way beyond its “postmortem”. Server hosting requires more technical knowledge but is also just as nice and helps smoothen the experience.

What I DO have issues with, is the trend of adding in ranked modes, and following the eSports model - that’s when excessive sweating and toxicity come into place. Since this is an RTS game, it probably wouldn’t suffer as much from “PvP balance seeping into PvE”, but it indeed is still a concern. MP development will always take resources away from SP, though sometimes improvements made for MP make it back to SP which is a positive.

For a while I’ve been getting pissed off seeing MP (usually PvP) requests everywhere, granted they do get annoying, but I’ve since narrowed it down. As long as this supposed MP mode (if it ever comes true, personally not holding onto it at all) stays away from ranked modes and eSports, we’re cool.

Get the game out first, stabilize and optimize performance, root out bugs etc etc..
THEN when there is time, possibly add multiplayer - until then, no thanks.
Honestly.. i'd rather have more content, possibly DLC , rather than multiplayer.

Once this game will have multiplayer (at least anything PVP-related) there will the a loud, whining crowd demanding for 'balance' & absolutely going to ruin any sort of intended faction imbalance & asymmetric game play this gave may have to offer to play with.

So i'm also voting 'No'

Nah. Play Eve Online if you want a multiplayer space game. Enjoy dealing with 90% ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Let's just work on getting a demo out bud.
