Could this be the game I been waiting for?

So after I played Freelance which is a space flight simulator and you could play it online against other people and fight them and it was not like EVE it was all joystick or keyboard/mouse hand eye coordination fighting. I always thought, "wow if they made a MMO like this with the same type of fps combat that was more on hand eye coordination and weapon selection then turn base fighting it would be the sweetest game ever". So I been playing Pirates of the Burning Sea its fun and the ship battles are little close to fps combat because you have to get your guns in line of sight but still more turn based. Pvp is based on capturing ports and it has the best economy I have seen yet where everyone depends on everyone else and everything that can be made is used and better then what can be found. I was just thinking if they did something like this in space but with fps combat instead of turn based it maybe the greatest game ever. Then I came acrossed Jumpgate Evolution and its supposed to be exactly like I was thinking. So could this be the mmo space fighter game I been waiting for?

the video looks a hell of a lot like EVE, which imo was extremely boring. However, in that link you supplied there some information you didn't mention, that I feel is important.

Mainly it is this one quote that may be the redeeming part of this game: "If you want to compare PvP styles, Jump gate is basketball and EVE is chess. One is about eye/hand coordination, one is about strategic thinking."

Ultimately I probably won't be playing it. I'm super busy with school, and preparing to study abroad in Germany in the fall.

I also just purchased a new MacBook Pro laptop. So my gaming abilities will be limited to the games I really care about: Spore and Star Craft II.

IMO this is more like SWG space combat then Eve's combat. SWGs space combat was great just limited in growth I should say, more fps combat oriented then what Eve was.
