NASA Makes MMOG for Science

[WaywardHaymaker]

I think I'll be the first to say: Do you really need a game to make kids want to become astronauts? Isn't that what you have to dissuade them of?

But I like the credit bit. A lot.

 

[Utarefson]

I will form the great space faction of the WARRIORS! Fear our science!

You're going to found the brotherhood of steel?


On topic:
Looks like some NASA guys still have to learn that not everything that you see on the internet is good, especially if they at a propaganda game with many players but few actual recruits

 

[Low Key]

I wonder if it'll earn me college credits. Something tells me no, at least not for my major anyways.

NASA is funding an MMOG set in a not-too-far-off future where humanity is settling the Solar System[/B]

Mass Effect?

Nope - MAss Effect was humanity colonizing parts of the Galaxy.

GTO FTW. HURRRYAAAAAA


yeah well, lets hope they let you build a megacorp to mine the moons of saturn...

 

[Enzeru92]

Wow a actual great idea from the government well NASA really

ERIS WILL BE MINE!
This could be good, but setting it in the near future could be a mistake - i doubt we'll be settling most of the solar system by 2035, we'll be lucky to have reached mars

"Jimmy, have you finished your homework yet?"
"I can't, Mom! My Guild and I are trying to fix this solar panel!"
"Well, okay, but try to get it repaired before 9. And don't forget to brush your teeth."

Sweet a good MMO and it's about SCIENCE

HUZZAH!

 

[AWC Viper]

Dibs on Pluto.

Pluto's not a planet!

but i call Uranus (had to, sorry)

 

[The Random One]

Now this is an MMO I could play.

I don't want to go toe-to-toe with NASA, but settling the solar system in 2035 already? Really?

 

[Donrad]

woot i wanna powerlevel my education!
sounds like it will be interesting

 

[nonl33t m4st3r]

I shall claim Mars in the name of the Mechanicus!

Lead the way, Magos!

Anyway, I'll keep an eye on this. If it sucks, it was free, anyway.

 

[DoW Lowen]

Own you with my physics noob. Pfft level 18 quark? BLACK HOLE!!!! Nawwww stop farming noob. Stop farming!

And so on...

Am I the only one who sees this ruined by gamer behavior? Penny arcade fuckwad theory anyone?

 

[Tiny116]

How long until MMO players get bored with solving puzzles and start killing each other for fun?????

Jock one "I want Mars"
Jock two "Then lets fuck up these assholes and take mars!"

or something simular??

 

[SilentVirus]

When this game comes out, who else is going to storm the thing with me yelling "FOR THE HORDE" into all chat servers? o3o

PURE WIN!

 

[lhin]

But can I build my space cannon?

GIGA DRILL BREAKER!!!!11!!1!

 

[similar.squirrel]

People won't play this, unfortunately. You don't get to kill stuff, by the looks of it. Therefore it is gay and not in any way Epic.
