1) The movement system for big ships will be changing to something much more easier to control.
2) Oxygen will be going into the game, with the plan being that we will use our Liquid Cubed engine ( Moddb.com ) for ships. Allowing you to drain a ships oxygen realistically when you blow a hole in it.
3) Boarding parties can be just foot-soldiers wandering through space, but they themselves would have a limited oxygen tank. The main course for boarding will likely be shuttle/boarding craft.

1) There will be AI.
2) Yes.
3) Since the beginning this has been possible.

Enemy AI has not been added in yet. You may test a demo of this game by installing one of the downloads we have here on ModDB.

1) Players will host their own servers with as many players as technology will allow. We are aiming for 8 players as a bare minimum on each server.
2) Yes you can! It will really be as simple as leaving the front door open and letting players in!
3) How you design your interior is VERY important! If you only have one access route to your engine room and the enemy blows it up, how will your get there to repair it when gets damaged?
4) This will be a possibility; generally we'd expect you will be better off setting these to auto tracking or tying the guns to control consoles.
5) You bet! You play as a persistent FPS character, so you and your buddies can steal aboard an enemy ship and fight your way through the corridors, sabotaging their engines, taking control of the Bridge, etc.
6) We will encourage teamwork wherever possible. However as we are still a little ways away from implementing proper ship mechanics this is hard to judge how exactly crew roles will work together.
7) This will be possible, but for larger ships this will be highly impractical. Imagine trying to fly your cruiser, keep the power balanced, shooting your weapons, and repairing as you take damage at the same time! As you can imagine, crew mates on larger vessels will be a BIG help.

8) We are looking at 5 major roles to play in an average ship (excluding smaller ships IE fighters). We want the roles to be an natural extension of what you'd need on a Space Ship and therefor all should provide entertainment and be “useful”.
9) This kind of meta-game play style is something that we won't be able to work on for a long while and would likely only be used to transport NPCs. But we would like that to be a viable form of mission for players to choose.
10) A mixture of both really. We want the interface and controls (IE flying the ship and “pew pew”ing) to be simple, but the inner workings of the ship to be deep without you requiring an engineering degree to build it. We are making a game where everything matters. Every system, every bulkhead has weight and a purpose and can adversely effect a ship if destroyed.

Yes there is, just download one of these:

Moddb.com

Blockaderunnergame.com

Both allow for a demo version to be played if you have not yet bought the game. Have fun!

Work on the Warcraft vs Starcraft mod has been discontinued so we could work full time on Blockade Runner.

Yes you could! :)

We have not tested Blockade Runner on Windows 8 yet, but we will have support for it soon.

We just released 67.2 last night! ;)

We have stopped development on this, and we are focusing on Blockade Runner.

Hehe, sorry no time travel. :P

TARDIS style? Maybe. ;)

We have one more patch we will release with Warcraft vs Starcraft. But as to revivification of this mod. We believe it would be a better idea to start a new one with Starcraft 2 as you have MUCH more control in it then you do in Warcraft.

Can you give more information on your problem?

You buy the game once and thats it.

For more information I recommend you read this: Blockaderunnergame.com

No that should not matter.

There will be no "lite" version for the indev. However when we release our Public version, than we will add in a "lite" demo.

Yes it would. Just a reminder though, this is a "posed" screenshot. Meaning debris is not yet in game.

Blockade Runner will include FPS. Sprinting, crouching, proning, leaning, ADS, Mounting and more are all planned to be in the game. As for your second question could you elaborate?

Yes.

Hehe, no you're not a "newb". The controls need some fixing. :)

Yes.

Heh, we want the models available too all. All we ask is that we get credited for them. :)

Yes it is a official statement.

No the requirements are different.

Download XNA 3.1 - .NET 3.5 - DirectX 9.0c

Makes sure your graphics card has Shader 2.0 as well.

Those are the requirements

Actually we changed the "Lite" version up a bit. It will always be the same version as the full version. It will have restrictions though.

We are looking into the possibility. :)

W25 is out, but it is a somewhat unstable build.

Yeah, we plan on releasing an update soon.
