Daaaaaamn, great to see the strike craft coming along nicely!

Strike craft coming soon.

Nice. How long has this been in the EA? Hopefully when they decide to finally slap 1.0 on it, it will still have a decent playerbase to enjoy the mp.

Its been nearly 3 years at this point. The development got a bit delayed when the dev decided to work on SP and then simply axed it at one point. The strike craft update will be first major content update in ages (well, since the OSPN faction came out).

MP community remains fairly active (for this type of a niche game) and I sure hope it will hold on.

Strike craft/carrier gameplay.

So nothing is planned for SP? Eh, that sucks.

Something will probably come out at some point on the SP front, however it will be completely different from the 4X stuff that the dev worked on for like a year before deciding it sux and abandoning it. Also I would not expect it anytime soon (as in a year at least).

basically no free play campaign, definitely a set of single player missions are in the pipeline

Around 35:45 dev starts to explain (again) why they cancelled conquest mode, but that they will do dynamic single player campaign after they finish carriers.
Since they surely take their time with carriers, this will probably not happen soon.

As a Moorline player, I await the arrival of the carriers with some trepidation, on the other hand apparently Moorlines can be carriers too... might be worth investing into at least one launch bay for fighters now, I assume that people will try to hunt the container ships (as well as railgun snipers) like crazy with the bombers. The cluster munition containers look cool and might end up being great for anti-strike craft defence. The active decoys being changed to size 2 missiles is gonna be pretty huge I guess.

Ah well, gonna have to spend a lot of time in the ship editor when this update drops. Not sure how I feel about the AI for MP matches, ppl will probably start making PvE lobbies, which I find kinda meh, but w/e. I sure hope people will not just start adding bots to every match now, instead of waiting for lobbies to fill up - we will see I guess.

The part about SP sounded p. well tbh fam, hope it turns out well eventually

As long as the single-player gets here.
