The potential is there it seems for a ground breaking game thats for sure. Not sure what the Devs vision is though, i hope we as players can help them decide
I would love to see a sandbox on the Oceans. Even if it is a freshly made up fantasy ocean world where players can explore and build their own empires and join forces, have massive wars. I just envision like an open world type game but using Dreadnought era ships, shipping, trade ships, maybe even a basic land forces mini game for conquering land. Imagine having to escort troop transports! Early submarines , convoys, early air power and carriers.
They could have players start out as a businessman, trade, make basic trade ships, earn their way up to a trade power or buy their way into military power. Then players join other players to form trade unions or alliances. Profits go up, but so do risks. Work your way up to your own shipyard, in your own city, with your own people, taxes, army and navy. Then as you progress you design more ships, join in ever more important global sea battles and on and on in an endless sandbox of thousands of players in a massive world of oceans and islands.
Sounds neat..but I will be happy to see what the Devs come up with also for this game. I like what i see.
I love world of warships but mainly for the ship porn aspect and just playing around with what the ships can do. It gets boring after awhile just a rinse and repeat type game. I hope the Devs do not go the world of warships route for this game.
