Just saw this on Warp2search.net, 30 new screens to look at!

http://www.phantomrenaissance.com/screens.php

Looking good!

I'm particularly interested in knowing what "Massive Assault Network compatibility" means...

looking very good, will this be downloadable or cd rom? and where will we be able to get if from in england is cd rom.

YAY!

Edit: *looks at pictures* *comments*

1) Thunder Station is cool (especially that pyramid), and Inferno is awesome!

2) That's really clever how the units are made "visible" by having a glowing colored version where it would be blocked. I only ever see one side's units doing it, so I wonder if it's just one player's (as in yours or your opponent's).

3) Whee! Defense Turrets!

4) Why are LAVs called "Light Bots" in the second-to-last screenshot?

2) both sides are made "visible"

1) thunder station?

3) ?? they are the same as in MA...

4) don't know

1) http://www.phantomrenaissance.com/index.php "The screens demonstrate two new planets: 'Thunder' Station, which is an orbital battle platform built around an asteroid, and 'Inferno' - the realm of fire, lava and volcanoes."

3) http://www.phantomrenaissance.com/pic/maprscreen_october2004_21.jpg The one sitting on that ring around the city (the Pteroplane is pointed straight towards it) and shooting at the Tank.

oh THAT turrets

they are AI-only story-related buildings....

Ok, gotcha.

Enforseer:

We are looking for a typical distribution method: publishers. There are some that are interested and we don't want to repeat errors.
MA:PR is a bit more singleplayer oriented than original MA (judging by percentage of singleplayer features).

so it has more single player features (campains and stuff) but the it'll all be multiplayerable too? (it that a word?)

it has all "standart" MA multiplayer features + P2P.

will the new assault mode be multiplayer?

assault multiplayer - no. there are no major technical difficulties - maybe in a patch we'll make scenarious multiplayable <- that is the word

ah so multiplayer wise mapr will be the same as man but with new maps and units?

ah forgot the rts style of play that should be interesting.

Also will the new carear idea that it looks like the campains feature be implimented in anyway into multiplayer with maybe your rank granting u points to spend on abilities (or however it works)?

implementing the career idea into multiplayer will mean than conscript will have no chance at all against general

conscripts shouldn't b playign generals anyway, they would just waste the generals time anyway.

Just think it would help give a sence of achievement beyond jsut saying ok i;ve gained a rank, instead it would be great i;'ve gained a rank, what new upgrades can i do. Also should u then mvoe down a rank cause someone moves ahead of u moving u down a place then u would be even more determined to get ur spot back.

Maybe it could be an option in the game setup to have rank bonus's tuurned on or off so taht if the amrshall wanted he can still have fair game vs a conscript

If you were going to add bonuses, it would make sense if the amount of skill points be set when the challenge was made, and both sides could use them as they choose. That way it is still fair, but it will make the games more interesting with diverse tactics.

I would like to know wich benefits, if any, will be granted to MAN subscribers.

if u could make the bonus's unbalanced ie give 1 player more points than the other that would be good, help give weaker players more of a chance vs the likes of Tiger
