Multiplayer

[Krieger]

Will multiplayer be a part of the game in the future?

[TrotTheBot]

I don't think so, but check the dev's to do list ;)

[Kele - Starpoint Gemini 3]

@Krieger
Nope. Starpoint Gemini 2 offers a free play mode in an open universe that spans across dozens of sectors. Also, a singleplayer campaign is not yet available in this phase of Early Access but will become available once the game reaches the final stages of development.

Why don't you satisfy everybody and create multiplayer (Like seperate) OR maybe Co-op? The whole single player experience CAN become quite lonely at times.. I Play ALOT of EvE online, and even there i feel "lonely" from time to time. :)

I know it's not the original backbone or idea of Starpoint Gemini 2 - But nobody said you can't experiment, Like Splinter cell did with Multiplayer in Chaos Theory. It worked out really well!

This is not a stance on Devs adding Multiplayer necessarily, but will there be a chance for the community to possibly Mod this game to allow for a multiplayer on our own set-up servers?

[Anasatsu]

Would be nice if players could invite friends into their own game world, you could add for example quests that would require doing so.

I mean look at Just Cause 2 an it's Multiplayer Mod, I bet you someone is already hard at work on a Multiplayer mod!

[DocNasty]

I dont think having Co-op quests would be necessary, I think it would be a matter of a Diablo type use... Missions just become harder... or there are more enemies during the missions, i think missions just for Co-op might be kinda letdown because if you solo, it would feel like your missing out, especially if its normally a single player.
Although if I recall there are missions where you get wingmen... so missions where maybe Co-op players take the place of wingmen... that would be awesome, but not seperate missions.

Yeah, having MP coop would kick ass, or maybe at least a death-mach "arena" where we'd go against each other just to show-off? Pretty pleasee? ;) Heh, I know that's much to ask, but had to do it anyway :D

Honestly, what I was really hoping for was a mode where you could invite a friend in to be an officer on your ship, like maybe they control the guns while you pilot or vice versa. But with no multiplayer planned, I hope that maybe mods can do it someday.

[JackTheRedCreeper]

Maybe two guys controlling the same ship? Local multiplayer I mean, based on the previous comment

[kovura]

yeah super cool idea maybe even just a lan world to do free roam together on

[Zenoslaf]

In Starpoint Gemini 3, we are stronly considering some kind of PvE Co-Op mode, but not in SPG2 or/and Starpoint Gemini Warlords.

There are several reasons for that, but having the game open for modding (and cheating) and not having multiplayer planned in our engine are main ones.
