Stormgate was run by scam Artists

On one hand you have Electronic Arts shutting down top gaming studios so they don’t have to try as hard.

On the other hand you have grifters and Scammers like Tim Morten of Storm Gate who will sell you a song so you don’t invest in actual indies who have talent such as myself.

Both the shut downs of companies and stealing the food from the poor indie devs are a way to make it so you get trash for video games and then you’ll buy stuff that isn’t that good instead… Cancel culture leads to recycle culture… They want to sell you trash and you enjoy eating trash because good food isn’t around anymore.

It’s so insidious that when an indie posts their game on an indie forum, they get censored/banned… Those forums are an illusion of promotion also. They’re payola walls. It’s all scams to make sure good games don’t hit he market.

As a Living Legend of Game Design and Skill in gaming… I still think it’s super funny they basically told me to go screw myself when I applied for beta. I told em I could make even terrible games awesome… Drop me the beta… I didn’t have high hopes, they gutted all the cool things I loved about RTS. But I knew I could salvage it. Even Frost Giant the video game blocked me because liberals never want to hear the truth that they lack skill.. They’re like a kid who watched Karate Kid and wants to jump in a MMA ring thinking they’re the best… I actually could be training you guys like Mr. Miagi if you weren’t so headstrong about telling me you know better… Who would want to train under the Bruce Lee of video game designers/gamers anyway… You know the man who invented Online RTS as an actual Genre? Author of the original Cybesecurity of http://Battle.net and League of Legends… Nah, not the guy #1 world in skill, who designed it… What’s the best of the best know about anything… Well I don’t know how to con job people out of money like you guys.

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.
