Legacy features

Ok. I know the game hasn't been announced, but I saw that you gave out limited keys for testing, and it seems like the name has been finalized.

From the video we can guess a few things like better graphics, and more stuff to build. (I believe Mercenary you could build little 'stations' for various things, but this looks much more in depth.

However, beyond visual updates, what kind of gameplay features are we looking at here? I see bigger planets which might make planet entry take longer *shudder* but how's about gameplay? I didn't see too many other things about that.

I wouldn't mind more diverse NPC factional stuff. Similar in aspect to SR2, or SN2. (Space Rangers 2 and Star Nomad 2) Or Mount and Blade. Would add to the singleplayer aspect I think.

Do we have any more details? My wants are irrelevent as the game seems fairly close to release.

Wow! It's not been formally released yet (assuming it will be) and a 'Things I'd like to see in Evochron Legacy' thread has been launched!

Going by Legends/Mercenary/Mercenary II if and when the game is released this thread will run and run!

My 2 cents/penneth worth - for what it's worth ... being able to finally land on Humanity's homeworld.

Well, I have been playing Evochron Legacy since yesterday, and find myself loving it so far! I did not have the time to try everything yet, I have been mostly mining so far... couldn't figure ouyt a good trade route yet, so I'm making money slowly... I am hoping to be able to try construction (beyond the tutorial) later today or tomorrow.. same for fighting. I like the new customization options in the shipyard, the new navigation map and I found myself having fun just doing low altitude flight on planets admiring the scenery. And everything is so much bigger! Space stations, planets... my first trip to a planet, I jumped close to it as I would in Mercenary, and I found myself flying a few extra minutes at 3000+ speeds before I reached gravity and atmosphere.

Sorry lol! I'm just very intrigued, and would like to know the changes. I remember Mercenary's launch, and too me it felt like a whole new game with all the features and such. The trailer doesn't give me enough tho, I need more!

Ok, maybe I'm just impatient.

In case you guys hadn't found it yet, the Legacy website shows some/most of the new features.

Edit:
There is also a development page that tells some of the major differences.
