"When I found out how terrible the MP mode would be, I tried to get to them before the release and posted my suggestions on their forum. I said - you have nothing but battles in your MP, so get tactical. The answer I got was something like "Our game is an RPG, so we don't need that tactics crap, no way". You know, if they had a co-op mode in there I'd be fine with that answer. But the only thing you can do there is a quick battle. They don't even have a boarding sequence, it's just a pure gunfire duel between ships and that's it. So go figure what role playing has to do with it, you tell me. But the thing is - if you don't get tactical in the MP like that and still have your usual salvo and reloading rate you get bored. Quickly. Their solution? Well, they've decided to implement a 15 sec reloading. And as a result, it is now a clickfest for the braindead. What a waste." - Seabro
 
Playlogic have cleaned up the multiplayer part. So its hard to compare the 2 atm
 
In my post I never mentioned numerous bugs and problems you get to deal with. For instance, when you host a game, no matter whether you win or lose, you still get the congratulations window. I suppose Playlogic have their hands full cleaning up all that mess, plus there are tree more modes, other than deathmatch, that still need to be developed. IMO the best thing they can possibly do is to leave the game resources open, so the comunity would mod the game the way it should've been developed. Akella will only make it worse than it already is and then come up with their usual "blame it on the fans" crap, trust me.

Question about Multiplayer.

How many sides are there and how many ships per side ??

How large can each opposing fleet be if there are 2 fleets battleing it out ?
