Black Prophecy may be a 3D space combat MMO, but it’s not all just about fighting! This week developer Reakktor Media released some details and screenshots of the game’s crafting system, which players will use to make components and ship modules.
The three main type of crafting materials are metal, plasma, and gas. Individual players can gather resources through salvaging space debris, completing missions, and visiting unique black market vendors. Larger material deposits, or resource stations, are zones and outposts that can be farmed by a controlling clan. The bigger and badder your clan is, the more resources you’ll collect.
Once a player has access to materials, they can combine them with blueprints (also found through salvaging) to make items. Much like other MMOs, players will be able to have a critical success while crafting, creating a superior item. On the other hand, Black Prophecy crafters can also “fail”, consuming all materials and leaving the player with nothing but the original blueprint. Ouch.
Black Prophecy will be free-to-play, and features both PvP and PvE combat. It is expected to hit the shelves in November.
