Gauging interest in longer MP scenarios - Page 2

My word, I'm all for it.

One thing though regarding multiplay; What happens if one of the players drop from the game? Will that particular platform remain in-game as an AI or will it disappear from the map?

I don't drink beer unless I'm eating greesy food or sometimes with Mexican. Wine we can do, though. Cocktails are good too.

And it bodes well for less complex extended-time MP endeavors as well.

I say give it a shot. The key is making sure that people know what they're trying to do, and they have a lot of freedom to do it. People won't spend a lot of time being lead by the nose to a single solution, but if you give them an open ended problem to solve, you'll be surprised at what happens.

Well, open-ended is definitely what I'm going for. These numbers do look strong enough to move forward on. I guess this is what having most of my MP time in virtual fleets will do to me...

Maybe I'll work on my Hurricane mixing some more...

Sorry, I didn't notice this sooner. If a player drops, the platform remains in the game as AI. If a multistation player drops, the remaining player and the platform is pretty much screwed since the stations are not reallocated.

Okay, my RL craziness is over. The poll results are encouraging enough that I think it's worth doing. Hopefully 1.04 will have strengthened the community enough that we can get a solid group together for it at some point.
