new space game?

Well didn't say I was right!! Also do we know how long are the bases on sale - same as minis - or longer - Again are they like the new Hyperions - something made and done which is now available to all ?
 
I do remember the computer model of the Emergence ship that appeared in Planet Mongoose months ago.
It looked pretty good.
Reminded me of a Star Destroyer.
Designed by the same guy who is responsible for the newer ACTA models.
:)

I'm not entirely sure if my memory is correct on the following!!
I think the game is set during the future as nation states go to space.
 
I don't see how Mongoose coming out with another space combat game could possibly help ACTA. Why compete with yourself?

Pssssst i think if you follow the logic through you'll realise that it won't be competing against ACTA cause ACTA won't be getting produced.
Just my opinion and based on NO facts i know.

Ya, that's what I'm getting too. ACTA RIP. :(

For what it's worth, not that I'll play it, but my guess is Traveller.

Not until Ad Astra's Traveller license to produce a space combat game has expired/been sunsetted, at any rate. And I agree that B5 CTA probably won't be making a comeback - even IF MGP survives that long as a company. B5 isn't exactly a hot property these days, and I'm not sure how "generous" WB would be in renegotiating a lower licensing fee with Mongoose when the time comes (sometime within the next year or so, I'd wager). Might not be worth what they'll be asking to re-up the license.
 
After their experiences with miniatures, I´m pretty sure MGP will have a third party produce the miniatures for Emergence, and just distribute them (along with the bases).

A future setting with earth nations going to war with each other? That would follow the same path as Full Thrust does, depending on how it was set up it might or might not be unique enough to be interesting...

What would interest me more at the moment would be whether it will be ship - or fighter based. The first concepts shown in the blog (whic I wasn´t to fond of to be honest) could easily have been fighers. Now, a fighter game would really be something different; I know there is a BSG games out there, but that is hex based as far as I recall?

Whatever the setting, scape and scope of Emergence will be, I´m pretty sure it´s rules will be based on the CTA rules set, ACTAS game engine is pretty solid as foundation for other games.

Ah well, we´ll see later this year...
 
be interesting to see if there is any Ship construction rules in Emergence?

Also just to be clear - I know nothing more than anyone else - just shamless speculation :D
