Can I pretty, pretty please attach rocket boosters to my Stalwarts now? And, perhaps have them ride sharks who shoot laser beams if I ask nicely? ;)

I quit playing EVE a couple of years ago because it really did not fit my playing style - exploration and trade. I hope AoA will avoid some of the weaknesses of EVE, expecially the one where every bit of "uncivilized" space is controlled by gangs of powermongers.
I like the "one player = one pilot" style of EVE, but I do not like the way you get forced into associating with others to get anything done. It is fine the corporation-building is an option, but it is not OK that the "lone wolf" player or the loosely affiliated bunch of pilots do not have a chance to go beyond the strictly controlled empires. Another thing i hate about most space games is the unrealistic physics. It is just silly to have spaceships maneuver and act like aircraft. Physics simulation is both possible and practical today. Technologies should follow a pattern and use of them should open the possibility of gradual refinement. There should not be any attempts at "play balancing" - the bane of most games. The players will do the balancing by choosing what works best and making innovations in use of what is available, the game needs to have mechanisms which allow that kind of innovation.

Why promissing to answer to all of our question on AoA here as all we wanted for long is answer about what's happening and will happen on Illiriad???
I'm kind of puzzled...

Will there be mutiple alien species to choose from, will each have their strengths and weaknesses, will we be able to conquer planets, will we be able to claim control of space lanes, will we have to be online all the time to protect ourselves from obliteration, will there be a research tree similar to Illy, will there be multiple gameplay aspects like Illy, will there be alliances and will they have a limit on number of players, will there be interactive npcs, will there be a market economy, will there be quests and story arcs, will there be a gc similar to Illy, will we be limited to one account?

How similar to EVE will this game be? If so what features are similar or better? Will the progression in the game be like EVE (faster or slower)? How is the economy? Can solo players survive by being pirates or is this game only doable in groups? How similar is this game to Star Citizen?

Does alliance and confederation exist in AoA?
if it does, I suggest we limit the number of alliance that can join the confederation. like 2-3 alliance / confederation.  |

Sorry if this sounds negative as I'm sure you're all very excited about releasing a new game but has anything actually been done towards new content for illyriad in the past 12-18 months?... It's been a very long time since the last tourney which were (last time I saw a GM discuss it in GC) supposed to be every few months and BL, factions, new magic schools, further crafting etc always seem just around the corner.... but that corner keeps receding into the distance always out of grasp.
Wish you guys well with AoA but very disappointed by the drought here.

From a resource and unit perspective, will the game be as combat-oriented as Illyriad?
Will AoA be feasible on mobile devices, or will it have a distinct PC/mouse slant like Illyriad? Do you have a funding and staffing level that will allow new content to be delivered in AoA on a regular schedule? I admit that it will be hard to invest time and money in a game that might go a very long time without ongoing development investment, refactoring, or bug fixing. |
