I don't want to reveal all my secrets, now do I? (At any rate, here is not the place to do it.) Suffice to say that I have a good idea what I'm going to do immediately following Rock Raiders, and it is something that is far more within my reach.

Not all factions have all 7 tech trees (in fact, only one faction actually has all 7), and not all tech trees have 10 rungs. I've done the math myself, and it comes out to somewhere in the ballpark of 450 ships (the exact number depends on how many factions I give a CA/CL split, but the highest poss...

Games have been sold on fewer differences; think Saint's Row vs. GTA, or any 2 of the 78 million modern military FPS games I can't tell apart.

Do you balance like WoW or more like real life how accurate v balanced forgiving game play do you want? - Things like what range do you fight at as this basically totally destroys the reason for the USN/RN belt deck layouts v the KM old styles turtle backs.... - Do you let all ships be equal as thi...

Well first of all welcome to Shipbucket. I'm not sure this is the best place to answer a game related question but glad you were recommended to us I guess. So you're basically going to be ripping off the ten-tier balanced-ships progressive unlock model of World of Warships to create your own game "...

1st note: technically the USS St.louis (C-20) is a protected cruiser that later got reclassified as a Heavy Cruiser. a better replacement for light cruisers would be the Chester Class which was a scout cruiser that was later reclassified as a light cruiser or the Denver class cruiser which were ori...

I'm currently making plans to make a naval combat video game a few years down the line, in a similar vein to Wargaming's World of Warships .
