The Mandate

[Komutan]

Bu oyunun henüz başlığı olmaması ilginç; iddialı Kickstarter projelerinden biri. Kickstarterı geçen senenin sonunda yapıldı.

The Mandate sees you, the player, as the captain of a single vessel. This vessel is manned by a cadre of officers, chosen and customized by you who are each individually named, with their own stats and strategic capabilities. These officers are in charge of crewmen, who are each individually named, but expendable.

You are fallible, human, and you make mistakes. Often, this will end with families torn apart, and crew members literally thrown out through the hull. Your actions will invariably mean loss of life. Issuing orders to officers will dynamically affect the actions of your crew, depending on the skills and attributes of the respective officer.

For the first time in a game of this type, players will be able to board vessels taking the combat into an RTS environment whilst your friends still fight from their ships in space.

Mandate is split into three focuses: the story focus with adventure and RPG elements, the strategic focus with economic, diplomatic, and political elements, and the tactical focus, with space combat and boarding elements. Each layer of depth is fully fleshed out offering intriguing and challenging gameplay, and each element is absolutely required in order to succeed and grow.

The decisions you make in Mandate affect the world around you, and your crew. Every action has a consequence, and as you push your ship to the farthest reaches of the universe, diplomacy, and morality are pushed with it.

Affect the world with your actions, not with your words. The Mandate will not be challenged with a dialogue wheel.

One Rule. No Quarter.

Build your bases - Command your fleets - Lead your boarding parties - Conquer rebels - Explore an empire in turmoil!

The Mandate is a sandbox military Sci-fi RPG. When a rebellion breaks out across countless worlds, the newly crowned Empress turns to you - a disgraced former captain - and offers you a chance to reclaim your honour.

You will start with a single ship and must assemble a fleet to defeat the rebellion. Coordinate fleet and boarding actions simultaneously, striking the enemy on two fronts for maximum effect. In captured star systems, you may design, research and construct your own star bases and ships, recruit and equip your troops with advanced weaponry, and negotiate alliances in intense roleplaying encounters.

Will you lead your crew to victory or dishonour in this dynamic roleplaying experience? Will you obey the Empress, side with the Rebels or carve out your own Pirate Kingdom instead? You decide! Yours is the Mandate!

What makes The Mandate unique?
Explore a world of culture, with 1500 years of lore, ruled by the Tsars. Survive a world of pirates, mercenaries & faction forces with their own agendas. Make enemies, or appease more powerful factions. The world reacts to your choices, and you must live with the consequences.

Utilize the human chain of command to manage your crew. All hailing from various colony ships, tasked by you to fill their stations. Watch them grow, learn, and experience… watch them tire, break down, and die.

Ships in The Mandate are the crew’s home. Blast through shields and bulkheads to knock out the various sub-systems, ejecting the crew into space – all in real time. Board the enemy, or defend against boarding! Fight from space as your friends put boots on the ground, or team-up and storm the enemy ship with RTS mechanics.

Scavenge derelict wrecks and salvage what you can to survive. Expand your home base to rearm, upgrade and design new ships. Grow from a single frigate to a powerful battle squadron.

A complete sci-fi experience

There are a lot of sci-fi RPGs out there, but we feel there’s something lacking. Being huge fans of the sci-fi genre, we wondered why spaceships feel so empty? What’s missing? Looking back to all the TV and Movies that inspired us, like Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica or Firefly, we realised games are missing something integral: a crew. A ship without a crew feels hollow and meaningless, so we’ve taken space travel to the next level. The dangers of space should not only test your metal, but your flesh.

We wanted to make a game where you’re not a solid, singular object in a sky-box; you are a captain in an evolving, dynamic ship that hundreds of people call home. They adapt to you, and grow with you as you fight alongside them, and if you suffer losses, you’ll feel the loss that comes with that.

That’s where the drama is, that’s where the story happens, and it’s the interacting with people on the deck that makes this a complete experience.

Oyundaki factionlardan biri de cyborg Osmanlılar.

The Osmani

Colony Ship: Osman

Art Inspiration: The Osmani are cyborgs. Their cybernetics might look more like jewellery, or sculpture - beautiful and elegant. If we can get some Ottoman Empire influences in there too, beautiful. Circuits as calligraphy, maybe.

Hundreds of colony ships fled the dying Earth. Of that vast exodus, most failed to find an inhabitable world to settle, or else were unable to survive on their new home. The great powers of the Mandate - the Romanovs, Arkwrights, Europans and Black Eagles - managed to prosper and even settle other systems after the discovery of jump gate technology, but those four were very much the exception. Most colony ships failed.

The Osmani civilisation arose out of such a failure. Their vessel crash-landed on a hostile world, a cold desert that resembled Mars. To survive, they merged with their servant machines. They went far beyond the previous limits of cybernetics, fusing human and machine to endure the rigours of their new world. On Earth - and even today, in the Mandate - cybernetics are mainly used as part of medical treatment, replacing maimed limbs or failing organs with artificial substitutes. Mere replacement was not enough for the Osmani - they had to augment and adapt themselves, becoming something other than human.

Centuries later, after Mandate explorers discovered the Osmani worlds, the Osmani Sultanate was integrated into the Mandate. Unlike most of the other rediscovered colonies that had joined the Mandate after its founding, the Osmani had a thriving civilisation with a strong technological and industrial base. They were the equal of any of the great powers. Indeed, the combination of their ability to settle on worlds considered uninhabitable by 'normal' humans together with the vast number of star systems now accessible to them through the Gate network meant the Osmani had the potential to eclipse the other human civilisations and become the dominant force in the Mandate.

The other powers responded to this threat by blocking the Osmani at every turn. To this day, there are no Osmani captains in the Grand Fleet or Osmani officials in the Mandate bureaucracy. Osmani corporations face punishing trade tariffs and sanctions; Osmani civilians are treated as second-class citizens. The Osmani are too dangerous to be allowed remain independent of the Mandate, but that doesn't mean they are welcome. The Osmani Sultana may smile at her 'beloved cousin', the Empress of the Mandate, but that smile is a precisely engineered, mathematically perfect mask to conceal her true feelings.

Denied access to the heart of the Mandate, the Osmani turned to the fringes. Pirate ships carry advanced Osmani weaponry, and smugglers use Osmani-built Gates. The Osmani could even be blamed for the whole rebellion - if the cyborgs had not threatened the other powers of the Mandate, there would have been no need for a second hasty wave of new colonies, and hence there would be no fringe worlds to rebel against the Mandate. Indeed, the rebel ships often use Osmani weapons, too.

The Osmani survive by adapting with the cold efficiency of machines. For them, the mistrust of the other powers is one more hostile environment that they must overcome.

50 dolardan dayamazlarsa cyborg osmanlılar hatrına alırım dasfdsfs.

[eldar]

osmani ne lan borani gibi gibi. Hikayeyi okudum, osmaniler çöl gezegene düşmüş, hayatta kalmak için makinelerle birleşmişler. Orada Osmani Sultanlığını kurmuşlar.

Yalnız uzay da bile önümüzü kesiyormuş dış mihraklar bizle başetmek için, bürokrasiye ve donanmaya girmemizi de yasaklamışlar :).

bu arada o videodaki aksan nedir öyle ya, rus oyunu sandım.

Oyun hakkında yorumum vasat üstü olursa şaşırırım.

[aquila]

patates salatasi yapan adam bundan daha iddiali.

[Apis]

Gelecek senenin en beklediğim oyunu açıkçası...

Şu Dwarf Fortress kafasını uzay gemisinde yaşatacağını iddia ediyor (gemiyi biz tsarlayacağız, içindekilere müdahale edeceğiz (üniformalar dahi custom bizim tarafımızdan yapılacakmış), sandbox ve trailer'da konuşan amcanın sesi oldukça iyi.

[Kanuni]

Iyi sanki.

Bekleyelim bakalim.

[Frostbite]

[eldar]

bence oyunla alakasız bir resim o.

[Seru]

ramazan diye imza var resimde kör müsünüz.

[axedice]

Artworklerde ramazanla çalışıyor olamazlar mı?

Oyunun tactical kısmı çok yavan göründüğü için fundlamamıştım ben sanırım, hani fikir çok iyi de 4 ayrı işi bi arada yapıp becerebilecek potansiyel yok gibi.

[Seru]

ciddi misiniz adam deviantartdan atmis linki. ayrica kadroda ramazan diye biri yok.

[axedice]

Ramazan resimlerini deviantarta yüklemiş olamaz mı? Deviantarta neden karşısın faşik misin?

Ben de resim yapsam imzamı axedice diye atarım ama firmada adım burak diye geçer. Belki ramazan sadece nicki?

[Kanuni]

Resim alakasiz be ya :)
