Ok, we can expect to ride veichles in MEA. Can we expect to fight in space too?
Just to be clear: I mean Wing Commander like combat.

We can pilot our main ship so probably yes, it would be really cool.
According to the leak, we can flight the ship. I imagine that if we can do that, we might have some battles in space (maybe something similar to SWTOR).
I don't like this tho. I always enjoyed the feeling of being part of a crew and not the person that has to do everything and Joker was a great character. So here i'm hoping that the leak is false in this particular subject.
Multiplayer is inevitable so I'd prefer piloting and space battles be in that rather than single player. I don't want to be the pilot and the ground team commander, it's just too much.

What's so hard about swapping the character you're playing momentarily?
When you're piloting you could be playing the pilot.
But don't let me stop you from coming up with great sounding reasons to not do something fun.
Not really against it, but I do have to wonder if something like this will take the place of something else.
If the choice is between having space combat or a more polished game without, I would choose without.
It sounds great but I keep getting taken back to Star Wars on N64 where I felt the space battles and races simply took you out of the games atmosphere (Or created a separate atmosphere altogether) . It should be optional in case nobody likes them, not opposed.

Yeah I can totally see that happening, do I CC them both or is one of them just going to wear a mask the entire time?
Maybe all humans will be really skinny and wear Kestral like armour so gender is little less obvious than in previous ME games.
Whatever, sod it, lets just pixelate it all! What a fun game MEA will be!
ALL PILOTS IN ANDRAMAGUCK WILL BE VORCHA!! JUST FYI!
I want it. Space Combat would be great imo.
It just seems so... superfluous. I don't like droning on about this, but I would much prefer supplements to the core combat or exploration than more design by committee. Dumping miscellaneous features onto a game in hopes of making it better is neither sustainable nor very effective.
It's also important to realize that BioWare isn't going to remake Elite: Dangerous on top of everything else, so all we'd be getting is a handful of (probably on rails) space shooting segments at most. If they're well done, then I'd be willing to accept them but honestly, they'll still probably feel like mini-games no matter what.

Like I said...

Glad you listened.

If it's done poorly, then no. I don't want it either. And if it detracts from the global resources of the game too much, I don't want mediocre environments to pay for mediocre space combat. If it could be done simply and fun, then I'm all for it. (And yes, I think it can be done simply and fun, within a reasonable budget)

Now whether it's going to realistically happen or not my guess is "no". They'd probably have teased/leaked something along those lines already.

I'm against being the pilot AND the ground team leader. In fact we were pretty clear about it
. In all previous MEs you know that the pilot is Joker and you know that you wouldn't control him during fights or whatever, you could control the Normandy but only during explorations. But wait, i can see that you don't really care for explanations about why i think what i think, being the case that you are so full of yourself ![]()
A word of advice: if you want to discuss something, we can. Don't be smartass about it and we might learn something new along the way.
I wouldn't be against space combat, being able to do more than just fly the ship would be nice.
I would love to be able to have space battles. Being able to participate in dogfights would be my preference, but even something like manning a ship turret like we did in KOTOR would be fun.
Don't expect wing commander like battle sequences from bioware, more likely on rails space combat with the illusion of free movement like Star Blade or star wars arcade, given the supposed size the ark this seem more likely to me.
Couldn't we just drop the ground combat and focus on flight?

I'm not sure about how you'd justify switching between the two modes, but I do like flying so I'm open to it.

I imagine that at some point we'll have something like that! Maybe a spinoff!
I would love some space combat kinda like with Galactic Star fighter in Swtor.

Well with my team every mission is a suicide mission.
Learn to feel nothing. ![]()
If there's purpose, cool. Let's do it.
Otherwise? Meh, not the biggest issue. Enjoyed it well enough in Battlefront 2.
Just pick up No Man's Sky. There's your space combat that will no doubt be superior to what BioWare would give us.
If you're going to be like that No Man's Sky should just give up let everyone buy FreeSpace 2 off GOG or wait for Star Citizen.
