My new game engine inspired by Freelancer and Discovery.

Honestly guys all gripes about current dev team aside, the reason no freelancer mod team except freeworlds is holding down a decent dev team that works fast at the moment is that the freelancer engine simply sucks. DX8 graphics, low poly limits (freeworlds had to hack the exe and use workarounds to put their star destroyer ingame and not make the game engine have an aneurysm + w0dka can crank out new code for it because he doesn't have to worry about stamping down hordes of cheaters like cannon does), cranky physics and quite frankly a ridiculous model development cycle (can be summed up by milkshape being crap).

Ranting aside, if there was a proper prospect here for a game that would let artists and coders alike show off their work at their best rather than having to continuously work around the limitations of the engine, not only would the disco dev team be much bigger but the enthusiasm would also be much higher and the feature list would be much longer.

In short: if this engine really is being developed like this then I as a dev team member am looking forward to seeing it and working with it. Lets hope the project doesn't burn out, because discovery is fast approaching its limits as it is and we need something like this to push the envelope.
