Through The Dimensional Focus Portal

The dimensional gate is awakening. The fragmented reflection of untold alternate realities is unfolding before our eyes. The focus of all of them aims towards a singular dimension, a prime dimension that all of them can see. That one must be true reality lies. Every advanced civilization of every alternate dimension must realize this. We’ve fought through ages of totalitarianism and control, ages of wrong, ages who wanted to bring us back to cave men. Though we’ve finally escaped to space, and we discovered that fight to be free is not over. Though universally, civilization cannot advance without the arts and bravery to get to where we are, the myriads of dimensions beheld is far greater than universe… Out there, just the concept of one bad society… Just one bad player…. to control the prime dimension could lead to the enslaving of all alternate realities. And to stop this known yet unknown threat, all advanced civilizations must bastion in this Prime Dimension. We must either learn to cooperate, or we might perish, our nation, our world, our star system, our universe, and possibly we might never even have existed at if supreme control of Prime collapses our dimension. If cooperating fails, and we do not wish to perish, the pressure is on us to take the bull by the horns and control benevolently…

The situation seems existential, wasting, expansive and a thought that makes your gaze extend past the stars and pull you outward from the ground. But there is great hope for the dimensions seem to have a weaved together with chaining, repeating and patterns. Yes, we’re an advanced civilization capable of great things, yet how much do we truly know? The anomalies, physics disturbances seen in the Prime dimension alone will take decades to begin to understand. Yet with enough panes of dimensions, deep enough, twisted enough, patterned enough, the strangest imaginable thing anyone has thought cannot compare to what might exist there. The human mind, akin to strange being bad might fancy different being good also. Somewhere out there, maybe there is hope. Maybe control, hate, totalitarianism and might is not the final say. Maybe somewhere out there freedom, love, and bygones be bygones ultimately win beyond the dimensional portal.

Only one way to find out. To not enter in would be to concede both battle and hope. We are not afforded this luxury.

2) Networking that pushes the envelope where no networking has gone before. People laugh at this like it is impossible to innovate, but I marketed it to Midway in 2003, and they laughed too. Meanwhile it was working in house as a Tekken style(3d fighter) MMO with part of what today is known as rollback code. Midway’s manager was mocking what is today’s standard thinking rollback and such was impossible. Infinite action players same zone, limit only by video card and other hardware, networking ain’t a limiting thing anymore.

4) First MMO designed for late game. Everyone enjoys mmos until power capped and then get bored.
There is no power cap to begin with(just a log log logarithmic progression), but there are many many many other end game design elements to make it so want to keep playing end game! The grind is there, but better and more fun things are around too! You can build up a super big fleet and it get destroyed to pieces and you start over again. You have a power floor level that you can’t go below so you’re always building permanent power, but temporary spikes of power surges and galactic dominance for fleeting moments give a rush. The larger the fleet, the larger the fleeting moment.

8) PVP bounty system. Everyone can PVP at all times. Stakes are low if your ship explodes. If you get attacked without declaring aggressive mode or an opponent to duel, the aggressor gets a bounty on their head in accordance with the damage dealt to you. If this bounty gets high enough, and they get caught, they will be put in jail. When they log on for the next few hours or days, their character can play only in jail, and visitors come see him and such. Enjoy roleplaying being a prison inmate, or just use a different crew member on your account. Developing many crew members is a thing for when you fly capital ships.

10) Omnipotent roleplay: Earn your right into a a movie anime by great roleplay! Live game masters in about 6-12 months after the content updates roll through. We bias people with Founder’s RP tokens some and good manner role players who stay in character(we have chat logs and even game logs). This promotes good role play even when not live GMing. Who doesn’t want to bring their friends to a movie and surprise em with their own character in it? So stay in character for a better game! https://www.starfightergeneral.com/live-role-play/

Punky-Pulpy action, Levels, stats, skills, talents, items, fleet amassing, and great apocalyptic space plots, trippy Lewis Carrol level Mad Hatter humor along the way. It’s really weird to see how this synergizes from a game design standpoint. Players naturally want to level up and power up… That’s the twink min maxer in all of us. So when humor, plots, intrigue, or NPCs getting your blood boiling to action vs them happens, you get stoked, rewarded, happy and tossed off your axis. Then when resolved, you look back and get serious about powering up. The core of a RPG gamer is always powering up, it is something we can’t get rid of, but the core of a game designer is to get you out of a spreadsheet mindset temporarily… And then you appreciate both more. So tacky humor, along serious pulp action and serious leveling up game mechanics… It is like a symphony of fun.
