Spoiler Alert: World Tree? Try a Star Sector Tree

Many games and literature throughout man kind have imagined great and large trees. Some of these trees grow into the clouds like Jack and the Bean Stalk. Others grow into the Heavens, guarded by deities and half gods so mortals cannot climb high enough. All these trees are nothing compared to the Star Tree.

In Starfighter General, Nebula are interesting and common. When flying through a gasseous nebula, World War 2 style Aero piloting that you find in Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe or Starwars Xwing which Starfighter General was spiritually influenced occurs. Unless you’re paying attention, you won’t know the difference between aerodynamic and vector flight. Aerodynamic shifts your velocity vector where you aim. Vector only accelerates you where you aim.

In Nebula, gases do more than change your flight pattern, some hold enough gas to support life and plant life. You can go harvest herbs in Starfighter General. You can plant stuff. And for many many zones this will seem normal… Until you meet the Star Sector tree.

All trees are limited in growth by one thing: gravity. Gravity means if a tree grows too big of limbs, they break. I’ve seen fruit trees produce so much fruit their own limbs break. Gravity is a downer. In space there is no gravity. So the real and looming factual information is… A tree of certain genetics which makes it sparse like a bush in many places with long twisty limbs that do not generate its own gravity to crush it… Well it can span light years… And there will be one just like this in Starfighter General… The Star Sector Tree. Come and see.

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.
