not:
-a huge sized environment (by that I mean in size in studs, relative size is still huge)
-control your own fighter plane in a first person or third person camera
-only shoot in the direction you're facing
-fighters get destroyed relatively fast
-dogfights

those things won't happen. First of all, by huge sized environment I mean in absolute size. I'm going for a miniature approach where everything will be small if you count it per stud, but the area will still seem immense. This is a great way to decrease lag seeing as you need less and less large parts.

Secondly there won't be any fighter planes. It's about cruisers vs. cruisers. These aren't ships that turn around in 0.5 seconds. Ships usually won't die within 15 seconds. Battles take a decent amount of time and there won't be any dogfights. It's mostly strategic placement, action and quick reaction.

Battles are done tactically by flying at the enemy ship, fire your front weapons (any type you have, torpedoes, cannons, etc), fly past, use your back and front weapons, turn around, continue battling. You won't control your ship with the mouse (like a plane) but with WASD and there will be a throttle you can use by pressing Q and E.

This is a scripted environment and it doesn't use the character.

@zelo

In a way, it is. However you get your own ship and there's no crew or characters on the ship.

There's a lot more to this idea I'm not really going to tell yet

I think for an idea like that to be properly implemented, make it around 6-8.

10 would push it.

uh no it could handle ~16ish I think

Heck I have no idea. All I know is that the moving part amounts would be roughly similar to Indigo II.

Wait so that means there will be different teams and Colors?

Can the Teams be made after real clans? *Cough* Genesis

So it is like that old spaceship free model, the SS Horatio or something, where you have the buttons in the command bridge that let it move forward, sideways (although you might add turning) and backwards at a speed of...13?

what about boarding situations, where you can say, board the enemy ship for a certain amount of time so that you don't spawnkill them.

No, there won't be any part where you will be using your Roblox character.

It's not like galleons where you are literally ON the ship and press buttons there.

@SS. Idk perhaps you can make two versions of it?

One is yours, and the other is a galleons version?

"Didn't Quenty have a flight simulator something like this a while back?"

Similar but Quenty's is much more focused on the fighter plane idea. See how he puts the camera behind the fighter, only let's you shoot ahead, lets you do tricks etc.

Mine won't be like that.

@lissitski

everything is a scripted environment. you can control your ship by using your keyboard. weapons and throttle can be used by either the keyboard or GUI.

What about chat commands?

The designated person who sits on, say, the Captain's chair, says something like "Starboard, 50 degrees" and the ship starts moving.

I liked Quenty's simulator but I was kind of confused when I tried using it a while back lol.

Anyhow I think I'm following you SS.

What you're creating is essentially a 1st person vehicle space fighting game...?

right...?
