Jump Point Warfare - Can we follow a player / NPC into a jump point and carry out an attack / continue a fight inside the wormhole / corridor?asked by Hammer-Head

Okay, so, yes. I believe the answer is going to be that you can. Obviously our first iteration of jump points will be just handling a single ship, because, as we build the technology, that seems like a logical place to start. Down the road, I do know that, there's a concept of a stargate wormhole for example, where you cruise through and arrive at your destination, I think our concept of a wormhole or jump point is much more in line with having something that's much more of a physical space, so something that you can actually traverse, and it has a finite distance and there are obstacles, as we saw in the SXSW previews we did for the jump points, so I believe the natural extension of that is yes, we'll start with one ship, and then I yes, you'll have multiple ships travelling through simultaneously. Whether or not you'll be able to fire weapons at each other, board each other, that simply hasn't been fleshed out yet, because there's no jump points yet, but once we have that and we determine what's fun, it'd suck to go into a jump point and have that not be fun, but as we build out the game we'll know more, but I know that's something that Chris would like to do, there's a lot of designers that would like to do, it's just something we'll have to build out to determine whether it's good for the game.

I think as like a base iteration, the first element would be making sure you can actually traverse and end up at some destinationTD: Yeah, getting through it is a good step pointRJ: Yeah, lets get that right as well. But totally, i think going down that route of approaching into your jump point, and just as you're about to come out, something comes up to you...

Yeah, that'd be great.
