Squadron 42 features list(probably)

[Schmunkel]

I posted this on reddit but wanted to throw it here as I thought it was interesting:

Here is my list of Squadron 42 features we can expect upon release separated into confirmed and probable categories based on my understanding:

Confirmed:

1. Single player story covering roughly 70 missions or 20 hours of gameplay with both ships and FPS.
   
2. Co-op play of select missions(after they have been completed).
   
3. All star cast including Mark Hamill, Mark Strong, Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson and many others.
   
4. Ships in the game: Bengal, Gladiator(flyable), Gladius(flyable), Hornet(F7A, Flyable), Idris, Javelin, Lightning(flyable), Pegasus, Retaliator, Sabre(flyable), Starfarer, Super Hornet(FC7M), Vanduul Ships(Glaive, Vanduul Scythe, etc.), Vanguard, plus other civilian models
   
5. Upgradeable Ship components: Weapons, Shield, Power Plant, etc.
   
6. Character customization.
7. Multi-crew ship operations.
   
8. Ship refueling.
   
9. Ship repairs.
   
10. Quantum Jumping within a star system.
    
11. NPC wingmen that have command menus for orders.

Probable:

1. Medical gameplay mechanic: healing via stim injections, more involved procedures
   
2. Track-IR support.
   
3. Cargo mechanic: Fuel only more likely than full cargo.
   
4. Capital ship operations: At least exposure to how a large ship runs.
   
5. Planetary landing with possible procedural tech.
6. Ships in game: Herald.

That list seems about right to me... The only thing I would say is that not all of the ships listed will be flyable in SQ42 but will be available in the PU once you exit SQ42.

The lead storyarticle of the German PC Games magazine "PC Games" this month is about "Squadron 42":

OMG... this thing is already going to blow the entire outfit off (not just the socks) people when it launches. Who needs a publisher, they only get in the way of greatness.

[AstroSam]

Upgradeable Ship components: Weapons, Shield, Power Plant, etc.

New installation or overclocking? I'm guessing just new components to install...

Im going to say something everyone is going to hate.


I am NOT looking forward to overclocking. I know how it is to overclock and looking for that golden lottery ticket cpu or gpu. But then when you get that you have to find a 2nd one or another component. It becomes maddening as you sit there going through parts as a mad man.
