im new here started to play 2 days ago and i was tryng to find a place to " Test Fly" my ships. You know i am a war thunder player, if you ask how i went from historical planes to spaceships only god know. Anyways some players told me there gona be an invasion mode that is on beta test, where you can free fly over some maps in the space. Correct me if im wrong, but well the point is, that invasion mode will be free to play? and how it work if someone can explain it to me i will apreciate it.
And… another suggestion if devs can add a “Test Fly” mode where you can go out of the space stations and free fly over there with ur ships to test weapons speed and so on will be great, just as is it in war thunder where you can fly the planes in their respective arfields.
no more to say only thanks in advance! have a great day dudes!
If you want to test fly you can click “Launch”. Then choose the “Custom Battle” tab at the top of the pop-up window. Then just create your own match. You still have to makes bots though.
Invasion is not pay to win. None of the game is pay to win. It is pay to grind less or pay for convenience. You get no huge advantage from flying a premium ship. When you fly a premium ship in Invasion you can respawn only once when you die. When you play PvP with a premium ship you get more free synergy. It just allows you to progress faster.
Well about the future invasion mode? i saw videos in you tube of “free roaming” in diferent places of the galaxy, that will be free or only for played who pay? , i not mean “Pay to win” i dont want to win anything just want to know if the invasion mode that isin close beta test now will be free in the future or we will need to pay.
Invasion will be available to all. That means nonpaying and paying players will be able to play invasion. I have heard rumors that Invasion will become OBT at the end of summer but I am not sure. I haven’t paid a single cent but I have 3 premium ships and access to Invasion CBT because of winning contests and getting free keys. You just have to be proactive.
Usually, PvE is a good place to test your ship and win some money in the process. Other way is do as they already told you in this topic, host a custom game and add one or two bots for target practice.
Concerning the Invasion, currently it is in closed beta. You can access either getting 1000 achievement points or having bought more than 6000 GS. Also, in the incomming gamescom probably they will give some beta keys.
The game mode will be open to everybody once it goes in open beta, so don’t worry, so far in this game there isn’t pay to win. Only pay to grind less, as expected in most of the games which share this micro-transaction business model.
So, in invasion mode you can just fly around and fight PvE if you want or attack other players if you want?
Is there any info on how many players can be in Invasion mode at the same time?
There are protected zones where you can’t kill or attack other players. Like EvE high sec, but without ganking.
In dangerous zones you can attack players, and you will lose karma. Atm the karma feature is almost testimonial, but they said it will have implications lately.
No matter how many players are in invasion mode, each map has several instances or rooms. I never have seen more than 10 or 12 players in the same room. In fact, sometimes if you are in a squad it is possible that all jump the same warp gate and one of you end in another room. They are working on that.

Cool, thanks for your answers. I’m as assuming since the game mode is called ‘Invasion’, there will be AI ships invading and attacking players?
Also, how many systems/maps can we play in this mode? Do these maps have stations you can dock to, NPCs to interact with, etc?

Only the 3 main systems has bases, the rest is there, but you cannot dock in them. Some of the stations are incredibly well designed and look beautiful. But they are just atrezzo. The NPCs are just mission givers, like the ones that gave you missions when you started. You cannot roam the station or interact with them like in WoW, it is all script and images.
Of course there are AI ships, the invasion mode is mainly PvE. You have pirates and forces of order, and you have alien invasions here and there. Aliens are very powerful and attack everyone, then they leave after a few minutes. To kill them you need a squad of good high tier ships, or a high burst damage ship and attack them when they are distracted with other players or Mobs.
I recommend you to take a look in Youtube and search for invasion videos. There are a few.
Concerning the number of maps I don’t know the exact number, but over 40 or so maps.

I understand limitations the developers have (eg. can’t have large number of player ships fighting each other due to ping), but this mode does sound interesting.
It also sounds quire interesting that one moment you could be PVPing against other players and then next moment you might have to join them to fight the aliens.
I just hope they avoid problems that, it appears, Elite Dangerous has where they have ships in different instances on the same map which can’t see each other but can run into or fire into each other (firing randomly into space and hitting player in another instance).
Another question, what is the penalty for dying in Invasion mode?

Hah. I find that extremely hilarious. Because I’ve heard that in Dangerous there are like thousands of maps(solar systems) and stuff, a place so big that out of 20.000 players, 2 players meet each other once every 5-6 hours. So if you’re telling me that 1 guy randomly shoots in open space and actually hits another…it’s just hilarious…
Anyway the problem here is that players want to be in the same instance, but sometimes they are separated. Even if they are in a group(usually happens with big groups).

If your karma level is +2 your icon turns cyan like the good NPCs. I noticed that today.
I never noticed anything about multiple rooms. Other than tasks, I b-line to the good loot sectors.
Another question, what is the penalty for dying in Invasion mode?
None at the moment, other than your loot and repairs, and ammo. That T5 ammo’s expensive when you realize you have the wrong build.
